Eric Jiang suddenly grasped Molly Yun's hand firmly and declared, "Nora, I swear before the gods above and all our family: for life and death, we are one. If you live, I live; if you die, I die..."
Molly Yun quickly reached out to cover Eric Jiang's mouth, tears streaming down her face. "Don't say such things!"
Eric Jiang raised the ring high. "Say yes, will you?"
The people around started to cheer in unison: "Say yes! Say yes!"
Even the Yehe crowd couldn't help but join in the cheering!
There was no stopping it—this proposal was just too moving!
How many men in this world dare to say, during a proposal, 'If you live, I live; if you die, I die'?
Even just hearing it is enough to shake you to the core, right?
Molly Yun nodded emphatically. "I accept! We'll both be well! We'll always be together!"
Overjoyed, Eric Jiang took out the diamond ring and carefully slipped it onto Molly Yun's finger.
His hand was trembling, and so was Molly Yun's.
The moment the ring slid onto her finger, their hearts drew tightly together.
Molly Yun pulled Eric Jiang up from the ground, and they embraced each other tightly.
The onlookers cheered, tossing their roses over the couple's heads.
Yvonne Ye witnessed it all, standing alone to the side, her face full of loneliness and sorrow.
She hadn't expected things to end this way.
Cecilia Gu saw Yvonne Ye, walked over slowly, took off her own scarf, and gently wrapped it around Yvonne's neck.
"Mrs. Yin..." Yvonne Ye stared blankly at Cecilia Gu, not knowing what to say.
"Molly taught you to bravely pursue your own life, and she was right about that. But she forgot to tell you one more thing: true love is mutual affection." Cecilia Gu smiled. "She and Eric Jiang fell in love years ago, but had to separate for several years due to circumstances. Time couldn't break their bond, and meeting again was fate."
"Maybe you don't know, but they parted back then to protect me... Now everything is in the past. They've suffered so long, let's let them be happy." Cecilia Gu smiled. "No matter if you love a man or a woman, you'll find someone who truly loves you back. Don't rush—you're young, with plenty of time and opportunities. Love can't be hurried, because the one meant for you is still making their way to you. You just need to wait patiently for him to come into your life."
Yvonne Ye bowed deeply to Cecilia Gu. "Mrs. Yin, you are a good person. I think I understand now."
"It's cold outside. Go home early," Cecilia Gu said with a gentle smile and nod.
"Thank you." Yvonne Ye glanced at the embracing couple, her eyes dimming, then quietly turned and left.
Charles Yin took off his scarf and wrapped it around Cecilia Gu. "You just finished your confinement, and you dare take off your scarf? I'll punish you when we get home."
Cecilia Gu nestled in Charles Yin's arms, smiling and pleading, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong!"
Sharing a scarf with Charles Yin, Cecilia Gu looked at the beautiful candles still burning before them and couldn't help but say, "If we don't comfort Yvonne Ye properly, that girl might have a hard time."
"You, you, you're always so kind-hearted." Charles Yin dotingly tapped Cecilia Gu's nose. "But whatever you do, I'll support you. After all, you're my wife."
Cecilia Gu teased, "You make it sound like I can do anything."
Charles Yin planted a kiss on Cecilia Gu's forehead. "In my eyes, my wife can do anything!"
Molly Yun, holding Eric Jiang, wiped her tears on his clothes and said, "Do you really not regret this? Once I hold on, I won't let go!"
"I'm only afraid you'll let go! Even if you do, I won't!" Eric Jiang said with rare boldness. "Wherever you go, I'll follow. To the ends of the earth, I'm with you."
"But I don't want to get married yet. What should I do?" Molly Yun asked deliberately. "The Yun Family business has all shifted to me. I still have to support the family."
"I'll help you," Eric Jiang replied without hesitation. "I'll manage your father's business."
"And what about the Jiang Family's affairs?" Molly Yun asked.
"My parents are still young!" Eric Jiang shamelessly said. "I'll help your father first!"
Molly Yun burst out laughing, tears flying from her eyes. "Aren't you afraid your parents will hear and give you a hard time?"
"Not afraid, because you'll protect me." Eric Jiang grinned. "My dear wife, protect me!"
The two of them burst into laughter together.
Everyone else quietly dispersed.
Leaving this beautiful night to these two couples.
The four of them each had their own sweetness and happiness.
But they also shared the same hope and determination.
The candles on the ground gradually burned out.
Above them, the starlight was just right.
Another perfect match.
With Molly Yun and Eric Jiang's relationship confirmed, the Yun Family would be hosting another celebration.
Mrs. Jiang had been running to Yin Manor every day, chatting endlessly with Cecilia Gu.
"Cici, isn't our families getting even closer?" Mrs. Jiang couldn't stop smiling these days. "Don't you think we're especially fated? Just recently, your uncle went to the Yun Family to arrange Charles's marriage, and now he's going again to arrange his own son's marriage. Your uncle is so happy—getting to arrange two marriages in a row is a rare opportunity!"
Cecilia Gu laughed. "Yes, Dad said Uncle brought a good bottle of wine and spent ages discussing family ties and generations."
Mrs. Jiang laughed heartily. "Exactly! Now that Nora is marrying in, what should the kids call her? 'Cousin Aunt' works, 'Aunt' works too. Call Eric 'Cousin Uncle,' or 'Uncle'—all fine! Oh, look at me, I'm so happy I don't even know what I'm saying anymore."
Mrs. Jiang really couldn't stop smiling these days.
Ever since she found out Molly Yun was actually Nora Yun, Mrs. Jiang had been thoroughly satisfied!
Her daughter-in-law was a genius, famous for her stunning talent all over the world.
Even if her background was a little unusual.
But it didn't matter—she'd been binge-reading transmigration novels lately, so she could handle anything strange now.
Strange is fine.
The Yun Family accepted her.
The Yin Family accepted her.
She really was Nora Yun!
