“I’m so happy! Xue’er, say it again! Can you say it once more?” Chang Zhuyou excitedly spun around while holding Fang Xueruo.
Fang Xueruo exclaimed and playfully hit him a couple of times, then clung to him, as if to express her wholehearted reliance on him.
“Xue’er, can you say it again?”
Fang Xueruo’s face turned red, and she turned her head away, “If you didn’t hear it, too bad!”
“I did hear it! How could I not? But I want to hear you say it again!” Chang Zhuyou placed Fang Xueruo on the sofa and knelt in front of her. “Xue’er, you’ve finally agreed to marry me! I’m so happy!” Ever since they got engaged, Chang Zhuyou had been eager to marry. He had proposed several times, but she always refused, saying that she wanted to reach the pinnacle of the entertainment industry before agreeing to marry him.
To fulfill her dream, Chang Zhuyou did everything in his power to pave the way for her success. Just when it seemed she was about to reach the top, everything crumbled in an instant, and everything his Xue’er had worked hard on was destroyed within a year. With public sentiment turned against her, she no longer had a place in the entertainment industry. He desperately wanted to restore her reputation, but he was struggling with his own troubles.
Chang Zhuyou had always been a favored son of heaven and had never been so wronged before. His life, which had always been smooth sailing, started to continuously go wrong in the past two years, and he couldn’t even protect the woman he loved. He hated his helplessness and felt too ashamed to propose again, even fearing that Xue’er would despise his current pathetic state…
But just now, Xue’er proposed to him! Was he dreaming?
“Xue’er, you said it, you agreed to marry me, right?”
Seeing his eagerness, Fang Xueruo couldn’t help but laugh, “Yes, I’ve agreed!”
“We’ll get married right away!” Chang Zhuyou clasped Fang Xueruo’s hand.
Fang Xueruo nodded, but her smile faded as a thought struck her. “But your parents…” she bit her lips, looking downhearted, “With my reputation tarnished, they… they don’t want me as their daughter-in-law…”
“Maybe it’s better if we don’t… I shouldn’t drag you down…” Fang Xueruo tried to smile bravely, “You deserve better.”
“Xue’er, you don’t need to belittle yourself. In my eyes, you are the best,” Chang Zhuyou assured her passionately. “Don’t worry, they’ll come around. My parents have always liked you, haven’t they? They just need some time.”
“With me, you won’t be wronged.” He caressed Fang Xueruo’s belly. “Besides, our child, the future heir of the Chang family, is here. Xue’er, come home with me? My parents will surely treat you well for the sake of the child.”
That’s exactly Fang Xueruo’s plan. She had hoped to use her unborn child to gain acceptance from Chang Zhuyou’s parents. The couple only had one son, Chang Zhuyou; how could they not cherish his child?
She had previously considered taking this route but eventually discarded it. Without proper status and no backing from the Fu family, living in the Chang household would lead to mistreatment. That’s why she sought to live separately. But now she realized that if she stayed close and reminded the couple that she was carrying the next generation of the Chang family, they wouldn’t dare to be too harsh. At most, they might give her a cold shoulder, but they surely wouldn’t mistreat her for the sake of their unborn grandchild.
