My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 757 Cinematic Proposal 12

After surviving this life-and-death struggle, no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, they’ll seem trivial in comparison, Ye Siyuan thought. We even withstood being besieged by zombies; what obstacle can’t we overcome?

Si Lisao grasped the ladder with one hand while he wrapped the other tightly around her slender waist, pressing his forehead against hers, his magnetic voice low and gentle, "Are you scared?"

"How could I not be scared? But we successfully escaped; it was so thrilling."

Scared, yet it was thrilling. The experience was even more intense than playing those exciting games at an amusement park.

Her hair was messy and stained with blood, and her face was also smeared with blood; she looked extremely disheveled. Yet, as the sunset illuminated her face, Si Lisao found himself captivated by her wild and brave beauty, unable to look away.

Through this ordeal, he saw many previously unknown sides of her.

In his previous view, she was delicate and frail, like a flower in a greenhouse.

But after this one battle, he realized that she was not only a noble peony but also a wintersweet enduring the cold winds.

She could be so delicate she required careful nurturing, and she could also stand side by side with him in life-or-death moments.

Such a girl... He loved her deeply and longed to love her more than ever before.

If before he wanted to marry her for her deep affection, now he wanted to marry her even more for the utterly different yet perfectly integrated charms she exuded.

"Si Yuan," Si Lisao softly called her name.

"Hmm?"

"You are beautiful."

Ye Siyuan looked up at his face, which was also covered in blood, then imagined her own and said in disbelief, "My face must be filthy and so disheveled, not beautiful at all. Close your eyes! Don’t look, don’t look."

Ye Siyuan lowered her head, pressing it against his chest, not wanting him to see her in such a disheveled state.

But Si Lisao pinched her chin, forcing her to lift her face. "No," he said. "This is the most beautiful I have ever seen you. Very charming. It’s hard not to be captivated by you like this; you’ve successfully conquered my heart."

Ye Siyuan smiled, her lips curving attractively. I’m so happy, she thought, feeling delighted. Then she said haughtily, "So, it turns out you like ugly girls?"

"Not ugly."

"However, hmph, are you saying I haven’t conquered your heart before?"

Si Lisao took her right hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it. "Can I tell the truth?" he asked.

"No," Ye Siyuan said firmly.

I’m afraid his honest answer might deeply hurt me, she thought.

Si Lisao laughed, kissing her right hand again. "So little confidence in yourself?"

Ye Siyuan pouted. "I know you’re marrying me only because you want to take responsibility. Years ago, I helped you complete your coming-of-age ceremony; if it weren’t for that, you wouldn’t marry me. Even though you previously said you wanted to marry me because I was the one inside Fortress City, prompting your desire to enter, those sweet nothings were just sweet nothings. The real reason is still that you want to take responsibility; you’re a responsible man."

This was the issue I least wanted to confront in my heart.

I don’t want to think about it, because I’m afraid that delving deep will bring sorrow.

Even though I’m clear in my heart, I still want to marry him. I like him, and I want to be his wife, to spend a lifetime with him.

Si Lisao looked with a pang of distress at this girl who was so humble and cautious in love. He reached out to gently stroke her hair. "I’m sorry," he said, "for making you feel so insecure, for making you so cautious, for making you feel so anxious and helpless. Si Yuan, in this world, there is love at first sight, love that deepens over time, and even love that blossoms after marriage. We don’t have to dwell on what brought two people together at the start; that’s not what’s most important."

"So what’s most important?"

Si Lisao tenderly comforted her. "Moments like this are very important," he said. "Staying together through thick and thin, sharing life and death, like those couples who fall in love at first sight, or those old couples who have been together until old age. Only when two people nurture a marriage like this can they ensure its happiness and fulfillment. And moreover..."

Si Lisao’s voice suddenly stopped, and he didn’t continue.

Ye Siyuan lifted her eyes and gazed into Si Lisao’s profound eyes, which seemed like whirlpools that had always deeply attracted her. "And moreover...?" she asked.

"I admit that at first, I wanted to marry you just to take responsibility for you, but now, Si Yuan..."

"Hmm?"

"Your delicacy, your bravery—they have thoroughly enchanted me. A girl like you... I never want to let you go in my life. Do you know what I’m feeling grateful for right now?"

"Grateful for what?"

"Grateful for the initial decision I made to take responsibility for you. Otherwise, how would I have discovered how beautiful you are? A treasure was right in front of me; if I hadn’t been able to recognize its worth, it would have been a lifelong regret. Fortunately, I discovered it before it was too late. Heaven has truly been kind to me, sending such a charming girl to my side."

"Hehehe." Ye Siyuan was so flattered she couldn’t stop smiling, not wanting to be reserved at all.

She knew how to play along with the praise, saying proudly, "It must be because you saved the Milky Way in your past life; otherwise, heaven wouldn’t have sent such a charming girl to you." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Looking at her self-admiring manner, Si Lisao laughed heartily.

He pulled a black velvet box from his pants pocket.

Ye Siyuan blinked.

She saw him open the velvet box. Inside was a diamond ring so brilliant it made one’s heart bloom at first sight.

Ye Siyuan’s breath tightened.

The setting sun shone on the surface of the sea, its light falling on the two of them and settling on the beautiful diamond ring.

Si Lisao looked at her with deep affection. "Si Yuan, marry me."

"Ah? How come you have a proposal ring in your pocket?"

Si Lisao didn’t answer her trivial question. He took the diamond ring out of the velvet box, held her bloodstained right hand, and asked again, "Will you?"

Ye Siyuan’s heart thumped wildly. THUMP-THUMP. "Obviously," she said.

Si Lisao laughed again. "Answer me directly."

Ye Siyuan’s breathing hitched. She nodded, tears falling. "I will," she said. "I will. I’m so willing. So, so willing. So, so, so willing..."

"Si Yuan, I promise you, in this life, I will never be unworthy of your profound love."

As he finished speaking, two slanted Dragon Horns suddenly sprouted from his forehead, and his dark eyes transformed into deep golden pupils.

These were words from the depths of his heart.

Ye Siyuan understood.

Si Lisao solemnly slid the diamond ring slowly onto her ring finger. The dazzling brilliance of the diamond in the sunset light momentarily blinded Ye Siyuan. Her vision blurred with hot tears, her small, pink lips trembled, and with a choked voice, she said, "I... I... I will too."
