Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 3016 You Are My Salvation

The deeper our relationship became and the more I learned about Shi Yang, I realized that she wasn't always blessed by fate and that she also had her share of misfortunes.

Her relationship with senior Zhou Si was not smooth sailing; it was fraught with setbacks.

As a good friend, I've watched this journey together and I'm filled with emotion.

Seeing her now, dressed in a white wedding gown, having found happiness with the person she loves, I am naturally happy for her.

Shi Ye hugged her and laughed, "Why are you crying too?"

Charlene leaned against him, shook her head and said, "No, I'm just happy, happy for Shi Yang and Senior."

Shi Ye ruffled my hair, his voice teasing, "I thought you were crying from envy."

Upon hearing this, Charlene couldn't help but lightly punch him, playfully scolding, "I didn't!"

Jessica interjected with a teasing smile, saying, "You should say yes now, and when you get engaged in the future, have your idol celebrate with the same ceremony. That would be so romantic."

Jenny chimed in, nodding excitedly, "That's right, Charlene, you'd better seize the opportunity!"

Charlene smiled, a faint blush rising on her cheeks. She glanced at Shi Ye instinctively, her eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and shyness.

Shi Ye smiled gently as he looked back at her, saying slowly, "I can consider it, provided that someone is willing to marry me."

Charlene felt a sweet warmth in her heart, as if a warm current was flowing through her, but her ears felt a little hot.

She lowered her head and muttered softly, "What kind of proposal is this? There should at least be a ceremony."

Shi Ye asked softly, his voice low and gentle, "What kind of ceremony do you want?"

Charlene's mind went blank for a moment.

How can anyone answer that?

How would she know if she's never been proposed to?

She gave Shi Ye a playful glare, her tone a mix of coquettishness and reproach, "Shouldn't this be your problem to solve? Why are you passing the buck to me? Honestly!"

Tokino replied calmly, "You can offer suggestions for reference, such as what elements you'd like..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was lightly patted on the back of the head.

Shino subconsciously turned his head away.

Xiao Bai stood behind him, holding the bouncy An An in one hand, and rolled her eyes as she complained, "Your question is really unnecessary!"

When you're with someone you like, shouldn't you observe them closely to see what they like and what elements they want?

You should know the answer yourself, why are you asking?

An An blinked his big eyes and echoed in his soft, sweet voice, "That's right, that's right! Uncle Shi Ye has to work hard on his own! How can you ask the pretty older sister directly?"

That's not romantic at all!

Then he added, "You can learn from my dad. He always prepares surprises for Mommy, and he always makes her incredibly happy!"

Shi Ye looked at the little adult-like figure and couldn't help but twitch his lips twice. "Although you're right, isn't it a difference in generation that one calls him 'uncle' and the other 'sister'?"

He shook his head helplessly, trying to remain serious.

An'an, however, acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, blinking her big eyes and explaining in a childish voice, "Girls have to always be older sisters because they're pretty and will always be eighteen!"

"These were taught to me by Brother Wei Wuxian and Brother Hengheng!"

After saying that, he proudly raised his chin, as if he were sharing some great wisdom about life.

Charlene was amused and couldn't help but reach out and gently rub the little guy's chubby cheeks, her voice full of affection, "An'an baby, your little mouth is so sweet, I love hearing you say that."

An An's smile widened even more, her adorable appearance melting hearts.

While they were having a lively conversation, Xia's father couldn't sit still any longer.

Upon hearing the word "engagement," he immediately frowned in alarm and raised his voice eight octaves, "That's enough! Linlin hasn't even graduated from university yet, what time is it to discuss these things?"

In my opinion, no one is allowed to mention proposing marriage until graduation day!!!

He was fuming, his eyes filled with the stubbornness of someone fiercely protecting their own.

My precious daughter, of course I have to keep her for a few more years so she can enjoy her youth!

Xia's mother smiled and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to move it forward once the relationship is more stable. Anyway, I would be happy to see it happen."

As she spoke, she gently patted her daughter's hand beside her, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

Upon hearing this, Xia's father frowned deeply, looking as if facing a formidable enemy, and couldn't help but raise his voice, shouting, "Wife!!!"

The way he acted as if he was afraid his little darling would be kidnapped was particularly funny.

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled his daughter's hand, drawing her closer to him, as if he genuinely wanted to protect her.

The others watched with amusement, laughing heartily.

Mr. Xia had no words to express his bitterness. His lips turned down, and he stared at his wife with a mournful look in his eyes. He felt like he was about to break.

……

The engagement ceremony began with soft music.

The emcee smiled and invited the two couples, along with their parents and elders, to come forward and give speeches.

Marcy tightened her grip on the hand of the person next to her and took a step forward.

She took the microphone, her voice clear but tinged with emotion, and said, "Before, I was just a wild girl from the mountains."

When I went to school, many people disliked me and even mocked me.

She paused, her gaze softening as she looked at the person beside her. "But you never seem to care about this."

You always naturally walk beside me, helping me out of trouble and protecting me.

Her voice trembled slightly, but she still insisted on saying, "Thank you for coming, and thank you for treasuring me so much."

You made me believe that I deserve to be loved and to be chosen with unwavering conviction.

After she finished speaking, she smiled faintly, tears glistening in her eyes, and a low murmur of applause and sighs gradually rose from the audience.

Next, Zhou Si delivered a speech.

When he held the microphone, the impact was noticeably greater than that on Marcy.

He spoke, his voice so hoarse it was almost unlike his own, “I used to… always felt that I was living a very unhappy life, and even doubted whether I should have come into this world at all.”

I was seen as a thorn in the side by my family, and the responsibilities and grudges on my shoulders... once made it hard for me to breathe.

Every day feels like walking in endless darkness.

Just then, his tone softened slightly, and a hint of emotion, which he could hardly conceal, was revealed in his voice.

"But your appearance was like a ray of sunshine breaking through the gloom, illuminating my entire life trajectory. It was a salvation and a rare warmth."

He took a deep breath, as if he were speaking with all his sincerity in the next sentence: "Thank you... for reaching out to me in the abyss."

You gave me a glimpse of hope, and finally gave me the courage to... hold onto a ray of light tightly.

You made me believe that I could walk out of the darkness.

His last words were exceptionally clear and firm, each syllable seemingly etched into his very breath: "I love you."

Without hesitation, he leaned forward and kissed Marcy gently but firmly.
