What he said this afternoon suddenly came to my ears, "My people saved me." A hundred years ago, he was not alone, and someone followed him and protected him. Since the founding of the United States, except for a civil war between the North and the South, the political situation has been stable. As long as there are safe and reliable agents, it is very normal for the industries of the past to continue to the present.
Wu Julan squeezed my hand reassuringly, let go of me, and walked towards Let.
Let retreated to the side and clapped vigorously. In an instant, thunderous applause erupted in the entire banquet hall. Let and several old people standing in front were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears, as if they were witnessing an incredible miracle.
Wu Julan just stood there indifferently, without any expression on his stern face, like a king who has everything and sees everything, no matter what happens, he takes it for granted.
The applause gradually subsided, and Wu Julan said to Let and the old people: "Good evening, friends, iback"
They applauded excitedly again. It can be seen that, like Ms. Let, they are not only outstanding in personal charm, but also in financial resources and social status. There was a thunderous applause.
The only people who didn't get excited were me, Jiang Yisheng, Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan.
Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan were staring at me with the most inconceivable eyes, with a hellish expression of "I saw a person stepping on shit, but I didn't expect it to be a gold mine".
In fact, I feel the same way as them. It feels really bad to watch the people I support turn into people I can't afford to support even if I sell them. Moreover, I have always more or less thought that I am Wu Julan's only one in this world, but now, I find that I am at most a fraction, or the fraction with the weakest ability, which makes me feel very useless sense of security.
After the applause stopped, those old guys who seemed to have a high social status stepped forward to greet Wu Julan one by one. They either brought their sons, grandsons, or daughters or granddaughters. Their ancestors should have immigrated to the United States from Europe. Although their homeland left early, their appearance and language still carry the shadow of their homeland. Hispanics, Germans, Italians, and French each use a different language. Not the same, Wu Julan also spoke to them in the languages of different countries, with perfect etiquette in every move.
Wu Julan surrounded by the crowd made me feel a little strange. Although I always knew that he would not change his arrogance and pickiness when he was so poor that he didn’t even have shoes, but now I witnessed him like a returning king, calmly accepting the cheers of the crowd And admiration, but it is another feeling. I can't understand what he said at all, I can't understand what he does at all, I don't know the people around him at all, he seems very distant and strange. On that full moon night, even if he revealed his true body and told me that he was not human, I didn't feel that way, but now I feel that we are people from two worlds.
I whispered, "He really does resemble his name, a prince"
Wu Jingjing stared at Wu Julan, and said without hesitation: "It's not very similar, regu is the prince."
I froze for a moment, and couldn't help thinking, if he is a prince, then what am I? Could it be Cinderella before midnight, although she put on a beautiful princess dress and dressed like a princess, But after all, I have to take off the skirt and return to the original shape
Jiang Yisheng bumped me with his elbow, and under his signal, I saw Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan quietly retreating out of the crowd and walking towards the door quietly. Staring at their backs, I even had a feeling of wanting to escape.
"Thank you for coming," Wu Julan's voice suddenly sounded, and it turned out to be in Chinese.
Both Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan subconsciously stopped and turned around to look. I also turned around and looked at Wu Julan strangely.
Wu Julan was staring at me sharply, colliding with his eyes, I couldn't help but feel guilty, he saw through my thoughts, his eyes were a little angry, as if to say: If you dare to run away, try
Wu Julan stared at me, and said slowly in Chinese: "Inviting you here tonight is not only to meet with you, but more importantly, to invite you to witness what I am about to do."
He walked through the crowd and walked towards me. With his movements, everyone's eyes focused on me and him.
Since I was a child, I have never been the focus of the crowd, and I am not used to being the focus of the crowd, so I want to back away nervously. Wu Julan knelt down in front of me on one knee, holding a huge blue diamond ring in her hand, "Xiaoluo, will you marry me?"
As if I had heard the immobilization spell, I was immediately fixed on the ground, and asked in shock, "What did you say?"
Fortunately, I wasn't the only one who was frightened, the crowd also let out exclamations one after another, covering up my extremely impolite question.
Wu Julan stared into my eyes and repeated again: "Will you marry me?"
I listened with bated breath, and immediately smiled, and snatched the ring from him impatiently, "I am willing, I am willing"
Jiang Yisheng coughed desperately, and I realized that I seemed to be too anxious. I should have held out my hand with tears in my eyes and asked Wu Julan to put a ring on me. But, I have already snatched it in front of everyone, should I return it to Wu Julan
I hold the ring, neither in nor out.
Wu Julan's originally sharp eyes softened, he stood up with a smile, took my hand very naturally, and put on the ring for me, as if the ceremony should be like this. Then, he held my ring-wearing hand, bent down, lowered his head, and kissed the back of my hand in a very gentlemanly manner.
It was as if an electric current hit my heart from the back of my hand, which made my heart beat faster and my blood flow retrogradely. At this moment, I was dizzy and really realized what happened: Wu Julan, did you propose to me? Marriage Proposal Marriage Proposal
From the beginning of this relationship, I have always been the one who is struggling to move forward. Wu Julan has always been very hesitant. It can even be said that he really wants to refuse, but I can't stand my thick skin, but even my thick skin All the guys didn't dare to think about getting married, but Wu Julan actually proposed to me
It’s so strange that I’m still me, and he’s still him, but there’s an extra stone on my middle finger that symbolizes his promise, but everything has changed, even if he says things I don’t understand, and does things I don’t understand I am surrounded by people I don’t know, so what? No matter how strange the world is, he will always be by my side. What’s more, he would rather let everyone not understand and use Chinese, just to let me I can understand.
Wu Julan held my hand, stared at Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan, and introduced to everyone in Chinese: "My fiancée, Shen Luo"
Let kindly helped him translate into English, but all the old people around her remained silent, as if they couldn't accept this fact at all.
Wu Julan watched them quietly. let was the first to raise his hand and start applauding, and the others followed suit one after another
Applause, and finally the entire banquet hall was thunderous applause again.
Wu Julan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
The music started at the right time, and Let gave Wu Jingjing a wink.
Wu Jingjing smiled and said to Jiang Yisheng: "Borrow your beauty." Before Jiang Yisheng could react, she dragged Jiang Yisheng into the dance floor, and began to dance to the music.
Jiang Yisheng hesitated a little, and quickly followed her dance steps.
The two of them, the suave male and the glamorous female, danced in a variety of tricks and were surprisingly harmonious, attracting many people to dance too.
The people surrounding Wu Julan gradually dispersed, but Let and those old people did not leave. She respectfully said to Wu Julan: "Please follow me."
We followed her into a lounge adjoining the banquet hall.
The waiter closed the door, the sound of music and human voices were shut out, and the room seemed very quiet. Wu Julan led me to sit down on the sofa, while everyone else stood.
Let said to me very kindly: "I have heard Liangliang mention you many times, can I call you Xiaoluo?"
Chinese people respect the old and love the young, so let’s be regarded as elders. I wanted to stand up, but Wu Julan held me down. I could only sit still and said with a smile, “Of course.”
Let smiled and introduced to me several old people around her. Everyone would step forward, take my hand, bend down and kiss the back of my hand lightly. From the beginning to the end, Wu Julan sat beside me without saying a word. I vaguely feel that this is not just a Western-style etiquette, but more like a ceremony, but Wu Julan didn't explain what it means, and I didn't ask. error.
After everyone had greeted me, Wu Julan held my hand, stood up, and said, "Shen Luo is my chosen life partner. From today onwards, we will share all the glory bestowed by life, and we will also share life together." for all the suffering."
My heart was shaken, and I stared blankly at Wu Julan.
Let almost panicked and said: "regu"
Wu Julan stared at her sharply, Let struggled for a moment, then bowed his head humbly.
Wu Julan repeated what he said just now in English. Under everyone's shocked eyes, he said: "I hope you will firmly remember what I said."
After speaking, he led me out of the lounge.
Wu Julan glanced at Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing who were dancing, and asked me: "Do you want to play for a while? If you want to dance, I can accompany you."
I shook my head, "I want to go home."
He said that his hearing and sense of smell are far sharper than humans. He definitely doesn't like such a place with noisy sounds and mixed smells. It just so happens that I don't like it either.
Wu Julan smiled and said softly: "Okay, let's go home"
After returning to the apartment, when I stood in front of the combination lock and entered the password, I suddenly realized why the password of this apartment was my birthday in the lunar calendar. It wasn't Wu Jingjing's password that asked someone to change it, but a password specially set by Wu Julan.
I asked: "This house is the house you lived in before"
Wu Julan said: "Well, but every twenty years, they will help me re-apply for an ID card and redecorate the house. Except for the books on the bookshelves, the other places basically don't look the same as before. "
I pushed open the door, bent my knees, made a playful gesture of inviting me in, and said to Wu Julan, "Welcome home."
Wu Julan said: "It will be your home in the future. I didn't give you a birthday present for your birthday, but this house is considered my birthday present for you."
What was given to me I was stunned.
Wu Julan pulled me into the apartment, "Don't think it's too expensive and you don't want to accept it. Back then, I just liked the dense vegetation and sparsely populated place, so I bought it at a very low price."
I came back to my senses, and said with a hippie smile: "I don't think it's expensive, a fool would think it's too much money. Well, I’ve prepared to work hard and work hard to support my family, but I didn’t expect you to be such a wealthy person, and I was directly upgraded to a rice bug.”
Wu Julan smiled slightly, stared at me and said, "Little Luo, you are really good like this."
His gaze was deep and focused, and it could be described as "affectionate". I was embarrassed, and looked here and there with a blushing face, just because I was embarrassed to meet his eyes.
Wu Julan laughed softly, and asked jokingly, "What are you looking at?"
I plausibly said: "Look at my house." After I finished speaking, I really looked at my house carefully.
Suddenly, I saw two familiar things.
"Ah, they are here." I ran over in surprise.
The coral stone of snail jade is placed on the floor of the living room with a pot of green bonsai as it is in the old house on the island; the nautilus fossil is also placed on the shelf in the living room as decoration as before .
Wu Julan said: "This is your grandfather's old things. If it wasn't for the money, you would definitely not want to sell it. Now that we are not short of money, let them still be with you."
I looked at the coral stones and nautilus fossils, and then looked around the room, staring at Wu Julan silently.
There are very Chinese seasonings and ingredients in the kitchen, conch decorations in the bedroom, shampoo and shower gel I am used to in the bathroom, and even the Chinese channel that I can receive after turning on the TV. No wonder I always feel that the person who decorates the house is very considerate Very attentive and took care of almost all my needs.
Wu Julan walked up to me and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
I said, "I thought Wu Jingjing arranged the things in this room, but it turned out that you arranged them yourself."
Wu Julan said: "Time is too tight. I only have half a day. I can only arrange it casually. Later, we will arrange it according to your wishes. When you come to New York in the future, you can live more comfortably."
I never imagined that one day I would be put in the palm of my hand like this, cared for and pampered in every possible way.
My eyes were wet, and I couldn't help snuggling into his arms, hugging his neck tightly, and the dark blue diamond ring was shining on my finger.
The person I love, from the blue ocean, gave me ocean-like affection No matter what lies ahead, glory or suffering, I am willing to bear it
