Chapter 727: Chapter 731: With a Husband Like This, What More Could One Ask For?
While on Blue Star, Su Tang had never been this close to a diamond. She had only seen it on television, in ads, and from behind glass counters.
She did not know how to distinguish the varying quality of diamonds. Yet, at this moment, she believed the diamond ring in her hand to be the best in the world!
After the initial surprise came endless heartache.
She had hardly been apart from Gaiyin, and seeing the quality of the diamond ring, he must have been preparing it for a while, but she was completely unaware.
Gathering her courage, Su Tang turned around, and embraced Gaiyin tightly, burying her face in his chest.
Startled, Gaiyin was a little at a loss, and gently stroked her hair, tentatively asking, "Don’t you like it? If you don’t, then I..."
"I like it!"
Su Tang’s voice was somewhat muffled.
"I like it, I like it very much. I’m just, too happy."
After proposing this condition, Su Tang had actually regretted it. This wasn’t Blue Star, and a diamond was a very hard stone. Here, cutting and polishing it was extremely difficult.
She had originally forgotten about this, but it was only when Gaiyin proposed becoming a couple just now that she suddenly remembered and decided to tease him a little.
But who would have thought...
How could she not be moved by a man who places such importance on her words?
Su Tang pulled back from Gaiyin’s chest, looked up at him, with a trace of dry tears still at the corner of her eyes.
Gaiyin stooped and kissed the corner of her eye, "If you think it’s too soon, I can wait."
That one sentence nearly made Su Tang cry again.
What merit did she possess to have found such a man who cherished, appreciated, and loved her?
With a husband like this, what more could she desire?
Suddenly, Su Tang laughed.
She wiped away her tears, picked up the ring, and was about to put it on her finger.
But then she suddenly remembered something.
She excitedly stood up, handing the small ring to Gaiyin.
"Gaiyin, kneel on one knee and, while holding my hand, say to me, ’Tangtang, will you marry me?’
Gaiyin guessed that this might be a part of Su Tang’s hometown’s wedding traditions.
He complied with Su Tang’s instructions, kneeling on one knee, taking Su Tang’s right hand, with a smile in his eyes.
"From the moment I saw you in the Wilderness Forest, I was drawn to you. Then, I brought you back to the tribe. You risked your own life to save Meng Ze. You found herbal medicine, stockpiled food, and crafted ceramics...Your smile is so radiant that I can’t help but want to be near you.
When you were taken by Fengyin, I realized that you, Su Tang, have completely taken up my heart, and I can’t live without you.
Late on, when the God of the Mountain punished the Wilderness and we faced the Weasel Clan during our escape, you gave the holy item bestowed upon you by the Holy Temple to old Nike. When you were punished by the Holy Temple, and I saw you in all your weakness and agony, I wished I could destroy everything!
Every time I see you cry, it feels as though my heart is being squeezed, making it hard to breathe. Su Tang, my Tangtang, I like you, and want to be with you forever. So, Tangtang, will you marry me?"
Facing Gaiyin’s spontaneous and lengthy confession, Su Tang’s heart had already melted into a puddle.
She sniffled, wiggled her ring finger, "Put the ring on this finger."
Gaiyin carefully put the ring on for her as if performing a sacred task.
With tears turning into laughter, Su Tang pulled Gaiyin up and put a ring on him as well.
"From now on, you are mine!"
