Chapter 373: Chapter 373: An Nan Was Moved
In this surreal moment, the man kneeling on the ground spoke: "An Nan, will you marry me? Maybe you feel my actions are abrupt, but I want to tell you, this is something I’ve been hoping for and planning for quite a while. Every day, I look forward to it. I originally planned to wait a little longer, wait until you love me a bit more before proposing. But Heaven has given me such a perfect opportunity tonight, and I don’t want to miss it. So, An Nan, will you marry me? I assure you, even after we’re married, I’ll treat you just as well, if not better."
After Lin Mubai’s words fell, he quietly knelt on one knee, fully aware that even though he could pull this woman he deeply loves straight to the civil affairs bureau, he couldn’t force her to sign a marriage agreement. Because that’s her freedom; if he did that, she would probably hold it against him for a lifetime. He didn’t dare take such a risk and internally prepared for the possibility of being rejected.
He told himself, in life, nobody sails smoothly; being rejected is quite normal.
Yet he didn’t hear immediate rejection.
Instead, she smiled and asked him, "How can you be sure that after marriage you’ll still treat me this well?" Everyone says people’s hearts can change, there are so many precedents in this world. How could this man guarantee he wouldn’t change his affections for a lifetime?
Faced with An Nan’s question, Lin Mubai didn’t answer directly. Instead, he took out a file from a bag he had brought along and handed it to her.
"What is this?"
Lin Mubai didn’t speak, just gestured for her to open and look. With doubt filling her mind, An Nan opened the file. As she saw what was inside, she instantly felt her blood flowing backward.
The man’s voice continued to flow gently into her ears: "Nannan, don’t doubt what your eyes are seeing or what your ears are about to hear. All of this is not a spur-of-the-moment idea but has been planned for a long time. Almost from the second day I met you, I’ve had a lawyer prepare these things. This is all my achievements from my years of struggle in the United States. I’m handing it all to you now. If, in the future, I ever disappoint you, these things will serve as your backing. In addition, I can also sign an agreement that if I ever fail you even slightly, all my shares of the Lin Group under my name can be yours."
While saying these words, Lin Mubai was kneeling single-kneed from beginning to end. In this state, every word and action was calm and composed, instilling an invisible sense of trust.
An Nan seemed to really recognize this man for the first time, staring at him dazedly, forgetting all reactions.
Long after, she internally questioned herself, such a person who would so easily entrust all his belongings to her, what was there to doubt about him? Marry him. The next moment, An Nan handed all the documents back to him.
As Lin Mubai took the documents, his entire face instantly turned pale. Had he been rejected? It turned out that even with mental preparation, it still hurt immensely.
Seeing the dejected look on the man’s face, An Nan instead raised a brilliant smile at the corner of her mouth. Then, amidst his shock, she laughed and said: "What? Aren’t you going to put the ring on me?"
