"Later, I joined them."
I took a sip of my drink and let out a long sigh.
"I was with Guo Naidong for six years, and those six years were not fake feelings.
"I once thought that if I could endure it, perhaps I would welcome sunny days.
"But reality told me that enduring does not necessarily lead to sunny days.
"A life without love can still go on.
"So, I gave up."
I raised my head and met Gao Huaizhong's eyes.
His gaze was deep, as if it held countless stars.
I smiled and said, "Fortunately, I turned back."
"Uncle Gao, thank you for still being here."
Gao Huaizhong tightened his embrace and kissed my forehead.
He said in a deep voice, "I will always be here."
When I returned to the room, Gao Huaizhong was sitting by the window reading a financial magazine.
I walked over to him, glanced at the magazine, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Gao Huaizhong, you have your magazine upside down."
Gao Huaizhong looked up, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.
I leaned closer to him and whispered playfully in his ear, "Uncle Gao, were you worried that I would run away with Guo Naidong?"
Gao Huaizhong coughed lightly and placed the magazine on the table.
He looked at me with a serious expression: "I can't afford to gamble."
I was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter.
I reached out and pinched his cheek affectionately, saying, "Silly man."
I leaned in and gave his chin a gentle kiss.
"I'll go take a shower, wait for me."
I turned to leave, but he grabbed my arm.
I looked back in surprise and met his intense gaze.
"Uncle Gao, what's wrong?"
Gao Huaizhong's Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke in a deep voice.
"I'm coming."
Before I could react, he had already picked me up.
He tossed me into the bathroom and whispered in my ear,
"Hao Jing, don't leave me."
"Okay, I won't leave you."
The steam filled the bathroom, and I looked at the man before me, feeling soft inside.
I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his Adam's apple.
"Gao Huaizhong, I love you."
Gao Huaizhong's body trembled slightly, and then he held me tightly in his arms.
After coming out of the bathroom, I was exhausted.
Gao Huaizhong sat on the edge of the bed, holding a hairdryer and patiently drying my hair.
I enjoyed this moment of peace, but there was a hint of unease in my heart.
I turned over and hugged Gao Huaizhong's waist.
"Gao Huaizhong, let's go get our marriage certificate later."
Gao Huaizhong suddenly froze, standing still in shock.
He looked down at me in disbelief, a glimmer of surprise in his eyes.
"You... what did you just say?"
I raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I said, let's go get our marriage certificate."
"I don't want to have any regrets anymore."
I looked at myself in the mirror and suddenly felt that I was quite beautiful.
In the haze of warmth, I prepared myself mentally.
I have nothing to feel inferior about; I am no worse than anyone else.
Gao Huaizhong paused for a few seconds and then suddenly smiled.
His smile was clean and pure, like a child who has just received a beloved toy.
I looked at him and smiled back.
"Gao Huaizhong, thank you."
Thank you for loving me, thank you for waiting for me.
Gao Huaizhong kissed my forehead and gently said, "Hao Jing, you can't go back on this."
"This time, you can't go back on it."
As he spoke, he took a box out of the drawer.
I looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Gao Huaizhong opened the box, revealing a purple diamond inside.
He took out the diamond and placed it on my ring finger.
I looked at him in surprise, feeling a sweetness rise in my heart.
"Gao Huaizhong..."
"Hao Jing, this time you can't go back on it."
"Okay, I won't go back on it."
