My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 742 - Marry Me

Looking at Qin Gengxin, who was playing with his daughter on the merry-go-round, Xian Guiying smiled as she raised her phone to take a picture. Looking at the child's fixed smile in the photo, she felt extremely satisfied.

It was sweeter than it had ever been before.

After a while, Qin Gengxin brought out cotton candy and handed it to her. "I didn't expect that there would be people selling this kind of thing in this part of the United States."

"Don't you know that small traders are everywhere? The places where they can make money must have everything visitors want." Xian Guiying said as she looked at Qin Wenqian, who was sitting on a swing not too far away. She's also eating the cotton candy with a happy expression.

Xian Guiying then said softly with a smile, "Being able to come to the amusement park with her parents is a dream she has had since she was almost two years old."

Qin Gengxin sat beside her and watched his daughter swing around on the swing. "What did you tell her at that time?

"Tell what?"

"When Qianqian wants her father, when she asks you where her father is, and when she says this dream, what did you say to her?" Qin Gengxin looked at her.

Xian Guiying pursed her lips. She knew that he was just curious about how she described him to his daughter. Otherwise, how could Qin Wenqian be so happy when she first saw Qin Gengxin?

"No matter how cold and desperate my heart was, I didn't want to wipe away her love and expectations towards her father. I only told her that her father had to work and had gone on a long business trip. He might not be back for a long time, and he might not come back."

Qin Gengxin put his arm around her shoulders and pushed her head against his shoulder.

She could feel his silent apology. Ever since the two of them rekindled, Xian Guiying could feel Qin Gengxin's love and regret towards her all the time. He knew that the years he had lost would never come back, but he was trying his best to make them happy.

Someone once said that the greatest happiness is when you hold the person you love the most.

This kind of hug from him, Xian Guiying had been waiting for it for twelve years. Right now, she was filled with the bright and clear joy of being able to see the light of day. She didn't have that much sadness anymore and she felt that she had to cherish it.

Xian Guiying leaned on Qin Gengxin's shoulder, closed her eyes, and said softly, "Qin Gengxin, before we returned, I received a call from your grandmother."

He looked down at her.

"She said she hoped the two of us would live a good life and not let the past affect our hard-won feelings. She went through a lifetime of resentment and at the end, when the two men who loved her the most had left her, she knew that it was only because she did not know how to cherish them and that it was not entirely their fault. She said it was because she was too stubborn. There were some things that she could have put down, but she was so stubborn about what she should do and what she shouldn't do. In the end, she hurt two men and she, herself, didn't get anything."

"She told me that a lot of things in this world are not perfect. There are all kinds of pain and suffering under happiness on the surface, and we have already experienced all kinds of suffering, so we shouldn't hurt our future selves, and we should embrace and cherish each other."

"After I returned to the United States, my heart had always been at peace. With such a simple life, instead of working at Xian Enterprise, I would prefer to stay at home, take care of our children, and wait for you to come back from work. Everyone says that no one dares to love a strong woman like me, but in reality, every woman has their childish side and desire for something in their bones."

"To embrace each other, to cherish each other." Qin Gengxin muttered the words Xian Guiying had just said as he lightly embraced her shoulders. Suddenly, he took out an exquisite little velvet box from his jean's pocket and placed it in front of her.

Xian Guiying, who was leaning on his shoulder, looked at the small velvet box that held the ring. She immediately laughed and rolled her eyes. She stood up but didn't accept the box. Instead, she smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

Qin Gengxin raised his brows. "Propose you."

"Our daughter is already so old, why are you asking for marriage? What's so special about it? Isn't our life pretty good now? Actually, we don't need to --"

Before she could finish her words, fireworks shot out from the flat ground in the amusement park where the two of them were sitting, lighting up the night sky.

Qin Wenqian happily jumped down from the swing, waving the cotton candy in her hand as she laughed and shouted, "So beautiful!"

Xian Guiying was stunned for a moment as she lifted her eyes to look at the fireworks in the sky. For a moment, she seemed to recall the time when she was also fond of watching fireworks. At that time, she was really young.

Qin Gengxin immediately knelt on one knee and held her hand. When she looked down at him in a daze, a smile appeared in his eyes. "Are you surprised?"

Xian Guiying opened her mouth and laughed, "Yes, it's quite nice. surprised."

"Guiying, I want to make up for the debt I owed you back then. If I had the courage, we would have already experienced these things when we were still in our twenties. We should have played these things before when we were young. I should have given them all to you, but I was so many years too late."

"Even before we were married, I only rushed into the Xian Family to acknowledge the child in your belly. I've never given you the feeling of a real marriage, whether it's when the two families are betrothed or at the wedding."

At that time, Xian Guiying's face was pale as if she had fallen into an ice cave, but she insisted on completing the wedding.

Qin Gengxin swallowed the lump in his throat. His hand where held Xian Guiying's tightly tightened, the fireworks behind him made him look very handsome and charming.

Was this man that was so outstanding to the point of being dazzling still hers?

Xian Guiying continued to look at him. He tightly held her hand, kneeling on one knee in front of her. Not far away, Qin Wenqian was looking at the fireworks, surrounded by the praise of many foreigners.

"Xian Guiying, marry me." Qin Gengxin held her hand and said softly, "Come back to me and be my legal wife once more. I promise that, other than for the necessary business trips, no matter how busy I am, I will always come home to accompany you. I will never disappear again. I will never have the foolish decision not to go home without seeing my child. You and Qianqian and the child in your belly are my eternal treasures. I will cherish you, protect you, and I will never, ever hurt you again. Promise me, marry me."

Xian Guiying stared at him blankly. Qin Gengxin slowly opened her clenched fist and took out a beautiful diamond ring. Under the dim light, she could even see the word "Ying" engraved in the ring. She didn't even know when he had started to prepare it.

Qin Gengxin put the ring on her ring finger. When the ring passed by her ring finger, she suddenly made a fist, preventing the ring from continuing to fit into her finger.

Qin Gengxin paused, looking up at her.

Xian Guiying clenched her hands into fists as she looked at him.

"Guiying …"

Qin Gengxin thought she was going to refuse, but just as he was about to say something, Xian Guiying suddenly said, "What if I have a daughter in my womb again?"

The corner of Qin Gengxin's mouth twitched. "Daughters are just daughters. I didn't say that we must have sons. Daughters are so good. As long as they are our children, it doesn't matter whether they are boys or girls."

Xian Guiying looked at him for a long time before saying, "Oh."

"Oh what? I'm proposing to you right now! You're talking to me about children, and you gave me an 'oh'. Xian Guiying, you!"

"I haven't agreed yet. It was you who wanted to put it on for me, not to mention that you haven't -"

Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Gengxin forcefully unclenched her hand and put the ring on her ring finger without saying anything. When she opened her mouth to say something, Qin Gengxin nodded his head with a satisfied expression. "Not bad, not bad, very pretty, it really suits you."

Xian Guiying: "..."

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Can this be counted as a marriage proposal?

"Qin Gengxin, you." She was speechless. She really wanted to say that he had always been a person who got what he wanted. Yet, she just loved him so badly. She felt that there was something wrong with her heart.

On the other side, Qin Wenqian ran over like a little flower girl and happily leaned against Xian Guiying's leg. "Mommy! Daddy!"

For the sake of such a cute daughter, Xian Guiying forgave Qin Gengxin's sloppy proposal.

From afar, a figure walked over because of the fireworks. He looked at the sky before his gaze landed on them.
