Jiang An’s words made Zou Bai’s heart beat wildly. He didn’t expect to hear Jiang An mention marriage.

Although he really wanted to marry Jiang An and become real husband and wife in the legal sense, he had never thought of forcing it.

It was already the luckiest thing in his life to be able to meet Jiang An. Although there were twists and turns in the process, fortunately, the two of them were still together in the end.

Now that everyone knew that they were in love and that the two children called him father, there was nothing more delightful.

As for marriage, as long as Jiang An didn’t mention it, he wouldn’t say anything. Everything was based on Jiang An’s wishes.

After all, her first marriage could be said to have failed. Not only did it break her heart, but she also met a bastard like Si Cheng.

It was understandable if Jiang An was afraid of marriage.

He didn’t expect to hear her propose marriage with his own ears. Zou Bai was flattered.

Zou Bai hugged Jiang An tightly, not knowing how to express his feelings. The all-powerful head of the Zou family was at a loss at this moment. Facing his sweetheart’s proposal, his face was filled with a blissful smile.

“An’an, I’m so happy. I’m really happy.” Zou Bai simply hugged Jiang An and spun her around.

The feeling of flying made Jiang An cry out in surprise, but she quickly liked this feeling. She believed that Zou Bai would definitely not let her fall.

When the excitement subsided, Zou Bai put Jiang An down and asked, “An’an, why do you want to marry me?”

At least before today, he hadn’t felt that Jiang An had any intention of getting married.

Jiang An sat on his lap. “I didn’t expect to think about marriage either, but when I saw Sophie’s sad face, I wondered what I would do if you were the one in trouble today.”

Zou Bai was silent on this topic. He did not dare to guarantee that he could live peacefully. As the head of the Zou family, he had too many things to do. He had to take risks for the family.

Previously, no matter what kind of danger he encountered, Zou Bai didn’t take it to heart because he didn’t have anyone to whom this would matter.

Even if he was gone, his family could still choose another head of the family. His parents had other sons. His death would only bring them temporary sorrow that would be forgotten over time.

But now that he had Jiang An, his lover would always miss him, so he could not die easily.

Jiang An looked at Zou Bai’s face. “I know you will always encounter all kinds of dangers. I don’t ask for you to run back every time, but I hope you can think of me and the children waiting for you at home.”

Zou Bai pulled Jiang An into his arms. The two of them hugged each other in an extremely intimate posture, as if they could never be separated.

They only let go after a long time. There was already a red mark on Jiang An’s arm, but she didn’t take it to heart. Sometimes, pain and love were the same.

“Zou Bai, I want to marry you. No matter what happens in the future, I will still be your wife. I will always have the right to stand by your side.” Jiang An’s every word was like an oath.

Faced with such sincerity, Zou Bai couldn’t refuse. He knew that his life wouldn’t be peaceful in the future. Jiang An would definitely follow him through the storm. Letting go was the best choice. He wanted his lover to live a happier life.

However, Zou Bai would never do that. To him, Jiang An was like the sunlight in the darkness. Since he had already seen the light, he could not let go.

Zou Bai took off the necklace around his neck. It was something that had never left his side. It represented his status as the highest commander of the Zou Family’s secret guards.

He put the necklace around Jiang An’s neck and knelt on one knee to kiss the back of her hand. It was a gesture of complete submission to Jiang An.

“An’an, I propose to you here and now. I swear that I’ll love you and protect you for the rest of my life. I won’t let you be sad for a moment,” Zou Bai said solemnly.

Jiang An smiled and nodded. “I’m willing to marry you.”

This was the happiest day for Zou Bai. He hugged Jiang An and didn’t sleep the entire night, afraid that it was just a beautiful dream.

The next day, the Zou family sent over the wedding ring as quickly as possible. He had designed it beforehand, and it took the craftsman a long time to make it.

A ten-carat pink diamond was embedded in the ring. It was dazzling from whichever angle. Jiang An felt that it was too eye-catching. “Wearing such a big ring is simply blinding.”

Zou Bai smiled. “That’s the effect I want. I want everyone to know how much I love you.”

“Could it be that a big diamond ring means that you love me more deeply?” Jiang An teased.

Zou Bai nodded. “If I can’t even give you a big diamond ring, what right do I have to say that I love you?”

When you love someone, you can’t help but give them the best. Zou Bai even complained that this diamond ring wasn’t dazzling enough.
