Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 723 Stirring

"Jiang Ye, you...."

It’s too sudden, okay?

I wasn’t prepared at all.

At that moment, the man’s face was filled with ultimate tenderness:

"Wife, we’ve known each other for over twenty years. Did you know? From the first time I saw you, my heart started to race."

What the heck?

Lu Jing was only three years old when they first met, right?

This guy was only seven years old himself. How could he be so precocious?

If he hadn’t said it himself, I’d hardly believe it. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

But, really, isn’t that kind of beastly?

How could Jiang Ye not read the meaning on the woman’s face?

"Wife, I’m telling the truth!"

Sheesh!

Lu Jing masked a bit of his shock and coughed:

"I don’t disbelieve you," he explained.

Others might lie, but Jiang Ye? Hardly likely.

Jiang Ye smiled and continued:

"I’m not very good at being sentimental, but in short, I promise to love and cherish you for a lifetime, through poverty or sickness, and to always stand by your side until we are both old and gray."

As these words came out, Lu Jing had yet to react, but teammates on both sides started exclaiming, ’wow, wow,’ and the clapping was incessant.

Then, voices chorused one after another, ’Say yes to him,’ ’Say yes to him.’

Lu Jing felt a bitter sweetness he couldn’t quite control and wanted to reach out but felt frozen.

Jiang Ye remained kneeling on one knee, not minding the discomfort:

"Wife, will you agree?"

Cough cough.

"Okay!" he replied decisively.

There really was no need to hesitate.

This man was already the one he had chosen long ago.

Seeing Lu Jing agree, Jiang Ye’s entire body shuddered with pure excitement.

A large bouquet of roses was handed over, and Lu Jing finally reached out to accept it.

And Jiang Ye, taking out a small exquisite box from his pocket again.

With a ’pop,’ the box opened.

Inside, under the light, a dazzling pigeon’s egg diamond rested quietly, looking quite sizable—at least ten carats.

Lu Jing’s mouth twitched slightly; such a large diamond ring, could he even wear it out without attracting thieves?

The man had already taken out the pigeon’s egg, and without asking the woman’s opinion, he grasped Lu Jing’s hand and effortlessly slipped the ring on.

The whole process was slick; Lu Jing didn’t even get a chance to speak.

Once the pigeon’s egg was in place, someone was incredibly happy.

Lu Jing swallowed back the critique that had reached his lips.

Well, let’s not ruin the mood at such a time.

Just keep the big diamond ring stored away usually.

After all, there are so many other pieces of jewelry stashed away; one more won’t make a difference.

Jiang Ye stood up, and his usually stern and serious face was uncharacteristically beaming with joy as he pulled Lu Jing tightly into his arms.

With so many people watching, Lu Jing felt quite embarrassed:

"Let go, let go."

But no matter how he pushed, it was useless.

The man wasn’t about to listen to being told to let go at such a moment.

For a while, the room was bursting with colorful fireworks, and with the surroundings so elaborately decorated, it was utterly dreamlike.

Lu Jing stopped struggling and wrapped his arms around the man’s waist, burying his whole face into his embrace.

Just then, the teasing from the crowd intensified:

"Kiss him, kiss him...."

"Captain Jiang, you must give your sister-in-law a kiss!"

"That’s right, that’s right."

This....

Jiang Ye seemed eager, but Lu Jing had already stealthily pinched a bit of flesh on someone’s waist.
