Chapter 79: Will You Marry Me?
However, before that, he had to give Si Rong one more chance to reconsider.
A person doesn't have much time in this life; time flies, and now they are both forty years old, so there isn't much time left for them.
If Si Rong is willing to be with him, he will raise Jiang Zhi well so that she will be filial to Si Rong in the future; as for himself, he will love her with all his heart until the day his life fades away.
If Si Rong is not willing to be with him, Jiang Cheng simply cannot bear to think about that possibility; the mere thought makes his heart ache.
The second brother of the Si Family brought him to the garden in the backyard in a friendly manner.
The garden is not too big, but various flowers are still in full bloom during the winter, which shows it is usually well-maintained.
"The way you flew the fighter jet today was truly manly!" Si Han rarely admires anyone.
But Jiang Cheng definitely counts as one.
"Thank you for the compliment, Second Brother."
Jiang Cheng expressed his thanks.
"You seem to be about the same age as my little sister; what is your zodiac sign?"
"I am a Rabbit."
"That makes you exactly forty this year," Si Han is quite satisfied with this zodiac sign of Jiang Cheng's.
His little sister is a Dragon; judging by the zodiac signs, a little rabbit cannot handle a big dragon.
If the two of them could make it, his little sister would definitely be the one in charge at home.
"Being a Rabbit is good, Rabbits are smart!" Si Han poured him a cup of top-grade Da Hong Pao tea, "That, I think your job as a navy pilot is really quite dangerous, isn't it?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, knowing that the Si Family's second brother had something to say.
"Aren't there age restrictions for pilots? About how old would someone at your level of Division Commander have to fly until?" Si Han asked tentatively.
"Does Second Brother mean test flying? For test flying, the general age limit is thirty-five; however, there are special circumstances. Although I am leading new recruits now, I still have to get into fighter jets often, but they are all fighter jets that have successfully passed test flights, and the situation like this morning rarely happens." Jiang Cheng honestly explained his work situation clearly.
"Rarely" means it is still possible.
With him saying it like that, Si Han had an idea in his mind.
"I came today because I want to discuss with the Si Family's uncle, aunt, and eldest and second brothers; I want to marry Si Rong."
Jiang Cheng spoke in one breath.
Si Han:...
"This, you two have only been seeing each other for a short time after all," Si Han adopted the posture of an elder, with his hands behind his back, "As for the matter of marriage, it still depends on my little sister's wishes."
As a second brother, although he wants to shield his little sister from the wind and rain, he still cannot overstep his bounds.
"Um, Second Brother, could you help me ask Si Rong to come here? I have some things I want to tell her."
Jiang Cheng requested.
The back garden is indeed a good place.
Si Han was already regretting why he had asked Jiang Cheng to come here; he was getting addicted to sitting here!
However, this request was not too excessive, so after considering it, Si Han spoke in a haughty manner, "Wait."
"Thank you, Second Brother."
Before long, Si Rong arrived.
She was wearing a rather casual orange sweater, paired with a long skirt of the same color, with her long hair draped behind her, looking both gentle and charming.
Jiang Cheng felt nervous for some reason, and his opening was polite, "You, you're here!"
Si Rong pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a few snow-white teeth.
This is her home; she should be the one saying that!
But she is not someone who likes to be pedantic, so she just nodded, "Second Brother said you have something to tell me."
Actually, Second Brother didn't just say that; he also said Jiang Cheng had ulterior motives toward her and told her she must be on guard, things like that.
But since she entered puberty, Second Brother has already said such things many times; anyway, in Second Brother's eyes, every man who approaches her has ill intentions.
She had long since grown tired of hearing it.
"You saw the scene of my test flight today; there is a certain degree of danger,"
Jiang Cheng spoke with difficulty, "So, I want to confirm again, are you willing to be with a man like me?"
In his life, all the dreams he wanted to realize have been realized, except for Si Rong, the only one he sought but could not obtain.
He really wants to be selfish for once and make Si Rong his own private possession.
To become Mrs. Jiang.
To use the rest of his life to dote on her.
After asking this question, he began to feel uneasy and very afraid in his heart.
More afraid than when a fighter jet loses control in the air.
In a crash, he would at most lose his life; comparing the two, losing Si Rong is harder to accept.
In the living room.
Led by Si Han, the whole family was peeking at the back garden from the window.
"You stretched your head out so far, did you hear what Little Sister said?"
Tian Chang pushed Si Han's butt.
Originally, that best spot should have been hers.
Who doesn't like to gossip, especially when the main characters are such beautiful people.
Si Han patted her head, "Of course I heard it, and I have worked with deaf-mute people before, so I have some understanding of lip-reading; I will translate it for you all."
He cleared his throat.
"Jiang Cheng said: Si Rong, you are really beautiful today!"
"Little Sister said, 'Nonsense! Don't look at who my second brother is; with such a handsome man as him, of course Little Sister is beautiful!'"
Tian Chang pinched his butt directly, rolled his eyes, and retorted, "Disgusting!"
"Jiang Cheng said again," Si Han translated while enduring the pain in his butt, "He said, you are so beautiful, I like you so much, let's get married!"
This time he received a flick to the forehead, but it wasn't his wife who hit him; it was his older brother.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think everyone is as unserious as you?"
Si Han was angry but dared not speak, covering his head, "It's true! Jiang Cheng told me himself just now; he wants to propose to our little sister."
"Look, everyone, is he about to kneel on one knee?"
At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the Si Family all focused on the window again.
They saw that in the garden, Jiang Cheng was preparing to kneel on one knee.
However, his kneeling knee was lifted up by Si Rong's extended right foot.
Si Rong felt that since she had already prepared herself to accept a soldier as a husband, she had to accept the unique nature of his status.
Although Jiang Cheng was not wearing a suit today, she did not want him to kneel before her either.
Actually, this action of Jiang Cheng's was a bit sudden; Si Rong almost didn't react in time.
Just after she nodded and responded to him, Jiang Cheng suddenly proposed to her.
He said it very solemnly.
"Si Rong, will you marry me?"
Si Rong was actually a bit hesitant, but yesterday, her sister-in-law came and said some things in front of her mother, all revolving around her, a divorced daughter; although her mother didn't say anything, she knew her mother was worried about her infertility and hoped she could have someone to rely on.
If that man was Jiang Cheng, she was willing.
So, Si Rong answered him, "Okay."
Then, she saw Jiang Cheng's eyes light up in an instant.
His long, narrow phoenix eyes were extremely beautiful.
Immediately after, Jiang Cheng pulled a stack of things out of his pocket.
