"Shen Qinglan, I love you. Will you marry me?" Memories flooded Shen Qinglan's mind, one after another, until finally, only Fu Hengyi's tender gaze remained fixed in her thoughts.

Shen Qinglan felt an itch in her throat. She looked down, meeting Fu Hengyi's eyes, "Will you always be by my side, never leaving me no matter what happens?"

Fu Hengyi smiled gently, "Yes, I will always be by your side. No matter what happens, I won't leave you. Even if you try to leave me, I will search to the ends of the earth to bring you back."

Warmth filled Shen Qinglan's eyes. Blurred with emotion, her lips lifted into a smile under the expectant gazes surrounding her. She nodded gently and placed her hand into Fu Hengyi's palm, "Fu Hengyi, I am willing to marry you, to become your wife, and to be by your side for life."

The tenderness in Fu Hengyi's eyes spilled over, slowly spreading across his face. He stood up and leaned down to kiss Shen Qinglan's lips.
