Chapter: 4991

However, seeing Su Shou Dao suddenly drop to one knee in front of her, Ms. He's whole person was already in disarray, with her heart racing wildly and even her breathing becoming chaotic.

Su Shou Dao kept his head bowed low after kneeling down, feeling around from his suit pocket for the ring box and taking it out.

Then, he used one hand to hold the ring box and another to open the ring, looked up at Ms. He's face, which was almost unrecognizable due to lack of wrinkles, and spoke with great emotion: "Ms. He... all these years, I've let you bear the burden of Ruo Li alone, it's been too hard on you..."

Ms. He's eyes were streaming with tears, but she only shook her head unconsciously, whispering softly: "Not hard... not a bit hard..."

Su Shou Dao's mind was in chaos, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he found himself deviating from the direction, with the ring still open. Wasn't it supposed to ask for her hand first?

Thinking about this, he didn't know how to proceed with proposing, only able to say with a hard head: "That is... I mean... I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father these many years... Let Ruo Li have suffered a lot and been wronged..."

Su Ruo Li saw that her dad was already all mixed up, feeling moved and also reminded him in a choked tone: "Dad... what's the key point you're trying to say? The ring in your hand is meant for mom, isn't it?"

Su Shou Dao snapped back to his senses, quickly looking at He Yinxue with a tense yet sincere opening: "He Yinxue, I indeed wronged you over these many years... Today, in front of Ruo Li, I want to ask if you're willing to marry me. If you are, from now on, I'll do my best to make our family happy..."

He Yinxue, although she had already sensed that Su Shou Dao was about to propose, was still taken aback when he asked her directly, unable to speak.

For her, marrying Su Shou Dao was something she never dared think of.

Strictly speaking, He Yinxue had never thought about this in her entire life.

In addition to the huge difference between their identities, what was more important was that since she and Su Shou Dao got involved 20 years ago, she had always felt ashamed of her behavior back then.

So for the past 20-odd years, she had almost not seen or contacted Su Shou Dao at all.

Even though the entire He family has been serving the Su family, even when their grown-up Ruo Li was sent to live with Su Shou Dao's side, He Yinxue remained in Mal City and never set foot in the Su household again.

So now that Su Shou Dao is suddenly proposing to her, she is completely at a loss as to what to do, and remains frozen in place, unable to move.

One side's Su Ruo Li hurriedly urged, "Mom, what's wrong? Dad is still kneeling down!"

He Yinxue regained her composure, flustered, and said, "Young Master... I... I don't know how to say..."

Su Shou Dao was clear in his heart about what He Yinxue was worried about. He said seriously, "Yinxue, let's not worry about the past anymore. Even if you're not here, my original marriage wouldn't have been happy either. And now that I'm no longer the same Su family young master as before, there is no status or identity gap between us. What I want now is to live out the rest of my life with you and give Ruo Li a complete home. Nothing else matters if you feel uneasy about the Su family letting you down. I can even give up all my rights in the Su family for you!"

Ruo Li also couldn't help but plead, "Mom, just agree to Dad's proposal. Dad has already divorced Du Auntie, and you've been carrying him in your heart all these years. Now that Dad is proposing to you, what do you have to hesitate about? If we can get married, I'll finally have a true home..."

He Yinxue heard this and her mental defenses suddenly relaxed a bit.

Ruo Li had grown up in a single-parent household from the start, although she was loved by He family members. However, it still couldn't compensate for the absence of her father's role.

Before Su Shou Dao didn't acknowledge Ruo Li as his daughter, He Yinxue even knew that he would never publicly acknowledge her as his child in his lifetime.

But now, he was kneeling before her, proposing to her at the same time, and yearned to give his daughter a complete home.

At this moment, all of He Yinxue's worries disappeared like smoke, and she said tearfully to Su Shou Dao, "I agree..."

Su Shou Dao's face lit up with excitement and asked, "Really?! Yinxue, you're really agreeing to marry me?" JrNovels.com
