"Marry me?"

"You want to marry me?"

"Do you really want to marry me?"

"Are you serious?"

Bai Lan was completely stunned. She asked a series of questions, unable to believe that Ye Qiu, who had been lost in past memories, would suddenly make such a decision.

"Yes, I am serious!" Ye Qiu nodded, his eyes showing unprecedented seriousness.

"Would you be willing to marry me?" he asked again.

"I..." Bai Lan opened her mouth, wanting to say something but unable to make a sound.

It's not that she was unwilling.

It's not that she couldn't speak, but... she was too excited!

Too happy.

Truly overjoyed.

She had never been so happy before.

At this moment, Bai Lan's eyes were moist with happiness.

This man, whom she had waited for so long, finally, finally gave her an answer!

At this critical moment, even though Bai Lan was a renowned strong woman, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart!

After all, in her world, there could only be one wedding in a lifetime.

She could only marry one person.

This was truly important!

Most importantly, she wanted to marry Ye Qiu. She couldn't live without Ye Qiu!

Ye Qiu said nothing, just quietly looked at Bai Lan.

He knew he needed to give her time to process this.

After a full two to three minutes, Bai Lan finally recovered. Then suddenly, she turned over and tightly embraced Ye Qiu, exclaiming with excitement, "Ye Qiu, I do, I do, I want to marry you."

"I want to become your wife."

"I really do."

"I've already waited so long for this day."

Bai Lan couldn't stop talking, as if emphasizing it, or perhaps fearing Ye Qiu might suddenly change his mind.

Because she knew Ye Qiu had an unresolved emotional issue.

"Great!" Ye Qiu hugged Bai Lan even tighter, smiling, "Since you also want this, let's set a date and get married. I promise to give you a grand wedding!"

"But... can you let her go?" Bai Lan suddenly asked.

She knew it was inappropriate to ask this question at such a time, but she had to know.

Not for her, but for Ye Qiu.

She didn't want Ye Qiu to be troubled...

"I can't let go." Ye Qiu answered without hesitation, but the corners of his mouth held a faint, warm smile, "Even if Phoenix's spirit in heaven sees all this, she would wish for me to do so."

"You've suffered a lot being with me, I've seen it all, and since I'm a man and you're my woman, I need to give you a conclusion."

"Mm..."

Bai Lan nodded slightly, understanding Ye Qiu's thoughts. Her own internal struggles were completely resolved, so she stopped worrying and said nothing more, simply leaning quietly against Ye Qiu's chest.

A faint smile appeared on her lips, or perhaps it was a look of happiness.

And just like that, in a sweet atmosphere, the two of them unknowingly fell asleep...

...

A day later.

Ye Qiu spent the whole morning at the company, discussing some wedding details with Bai Lan.

As noon approached.

Bai Lan gathered the company's executives, saying she needed to hold an important meeting.

Ye Qiu naturally had no interest in such matters, left a word, and walked out of the company to take a stroll.

However, just as he stepped out of the company doors, an angry shout suddenly reached his ears.

"Ye Qiu! I didn't expect you'd really be here! Today, you're going to meet your end!"

Ye Qiu couldn't help but pause.

Then, he found it somewhat amusing, almost letting out a laugh.

Wait to die?

Someone actually told him to wait to die?

How long had it been since someone said such a thing to him in Jiangnan City?

Ye Qiu slowly raised his head and looked over, quite displeased, only to see a young man, accompanied by a large group of bodyguards in black, blocking the company entrance tightly.

The young man was dressed in a white suit, with shiny black leather shoes and sunglasses.

He kept his head high, exuding an arrogant demeanor.

As if nothing in this world was worth his attention.

"Who are you?" Ye Qiu asked calmly.

"Young Master Long!" the young man didn't waste any time, immediately announcing his name, "Young Master Long from Zhejiang Province, Liao Longfei. Of course, fools like you, insignificant ants, probably haven't even heard of me."

"But that doesn't matter, because I'm here to kill you today. All you need to know is, you're about to die soon, and that's enough."

Liao Longfei's words were as arrogant as could be, looking at Ye Qiu with even more contempt.

While speaking, he even reached out, vigorously pointing at Ye Qiu's nose.

He was utterly haughty!

Of course, he had always been like this, given his status and position, his father was a famous business tycoon in Zhejiang Province, with countless assets at home.

With money naturally came power, and with power, it naturally led to Liao Longfei's arrogant and domineering personality.

"Young Master Long? So it's you." Ye Qiu chuckled indifferently.

Upon hearing the name Young Master Long, he recalled.

A few days ago, when he encountered Song Fei and Song Sisi on the street, a group of people had rushed out, shouting they wanted to kill Song Fei because he had stolen Young Master Long's brother.

Later, when that group of short-sighted fellows wanted to attack Ye Qiu, he taught them a lesson. Now their master had come, evidently for revenge.

"Ha!" Liao Longfei sneered, giving Ye Qiu a vicious look, and said coldly, "Judging by your demeanor, you should know what you've done to provoke me. How dare you meddle in Young Master Long's affairs? You're asking for death!"

"Now, I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and lick my shoes, and if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare you once. Otherwise, these bodyguards of mine will chop your hands off and feed them to the dogs."

"You've got quite a mouth on you!" Ye Qiu felt helpless. How come these wealthy kids were so eager to seek death?

He smirked coldly, "Before that, allow me to say, this is my wife's company. You've brought a bunch of dogs here blocking the entrance, do you plan on letting people do business at all? You'd better get out quickly, or there will be consequences if I have to act."

"Hahaha!" Liao Longfei couldn't help but burst into laughter, his eyes filled with even more ridicule, "Kid, it seems you really have no idea who I am. In that case, I have no choice but to kill you."

"Furthermore..." with that, he showed a lewd smile, "Considering you have a wife, I'll let you live a while longer, leave you half-alive, and then make you watch as I touch your woman all over."

As he spoke, Liao Longfei mimicked some obscene gestures, provoking Ye Qiu arrogantly.

"Go on, all of you, beat him up, cripple him!"

The next moment, Young Master Long suddenly waved his hand and shouted orders to the group of bodyguards behind him.
