Chapter 911: Should I Agree to Him, Su Yang?
Zhou Ruohan did not expect that Fang Jingwen would actually ask her this question.
But since the other party took the initiative to knock on the door, she could not refuse to respond.
However compared with before, she has become much softer, because she has already secured a strong man, and regarding these little tricks, she no longer cares.
Moderate humility can only make her appear more virtuous and gentle.
So she turned her head toward Su Yang: "What do you think?"
Su Yang's head instantly felt like it was about to explode; he now truly hates Liu Zixuan, so next time you arrange a meeting, clarify things clearly and stop casually mentioning an explosive program that brings them over, because that explosive program is trying to take his life.
Then what else can I do? Isn't staying at home fine? It's been such a long time without seeing Zhou Ruohan; shouldn't I get to know each other's feelings properly?
If you have a grievance against me, just execute me; why torture me like this?
Zhou Ruohan is still the same as before, consistently clever, throwing this dilemma onto me. Fine, since so many people are waiting for my answer, I can only bite the bullet and go ahead.
He said, "In theory it is feasible, after all it is a good match of families and status, and based on the rumors we have heard, this is a combination that is highly beneficial to everyone."
"Of course, this is just one form of combination."
"In principle, an individual's development should not be placed on marriage, as it trades others' happiness for one's own advancement, which is itself a Selfishness act."
"I am opposed."
"In this regard I think we should learn from Zhou Tong; if you don't like something you can refuse right away. Take Li Qiushui just now—he was still eyeing Zhou Tong's muscular body, yet the kid somehow rejected him on the spot."
"He almost brought disaster upon me; it looks like a good thing, but he refuses, unwilling to sacrifice his own happiness to exchange for any Cultivation Clan's rise or fall."
The people nearby couldn't help but laugh: whether you accept or decline, you keep switching between theory and principle; if you then go take the civil service exam, your essay answers would definitely be exemplary.
Liu Zixuan couldn't hold back and said, "I remember you're from Ganzhou; could your ancestral home be from Qi and Lu? I always sense a bit of Qi‑Lu blood in you."
"Only a major province for the civil service exam can produce such a perfect answer from you."
Although the line of thought had already meandered a hundred thousand eight hundred miles, it still produced an answer. Even so, Zhou Ruohan and Fang Jingwen were not very satisfied, because in their view it was not decisive enough.
Just as Zhou Ruohan was about to deliver a Nine Yin White Bone Claw line to Su Yang, another spotlight shifted to them; Jia Guolong, dressed in a custom-made high-end suit, holding a rose, walked over gracefully.
In an instant everyone's gaze fixed on Jia Guolong, because they still didn't know who his confession was aimed at this time.
Since many didn't know Fang Jingwen, they assumed Jia Guolong's target was the little witch Liu Zixuan, which also aligned with Jia Guolong's and his family's interests.
However, when Jia Guolong opened his mouth, they realized they were completely wrong, hearing him say, "Jingwen, since the first time I saw you, I have been deeply attracted by your earnest demeanor."
"For thirty years, you are the only girl who makes me lose appetite, stay awake at night, and think of you obsessively."
"For you, I am willing to give everything; for you, I am willing to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, to travel the nation's landscapes with you."
"Since meeting you, I finally know the meaning and goal of my life."
"Without you, my life would lose color, even lose light; without you, I cannot live alone."
"For this moment, I waited thirty years; for this moment, I prepared for three months."
"The bouquet of roses in my hand was grown by me myself, just for today's grand moment."
"Jingwen, today, witnessed by so many friends, on this incomparable grand reunion day, will you agree to be my girlfriend?"
As his words fell, everyone simultaneously turned their gaze toward Fang Jingwen.
In their eyes, Fang Jingwen had hooked a golden son‑in‑law and should agree without hesitation.
Such a good thing was eagerly anticipated by everyone present, especially the unmarried girls.
But Fang Jingwen seemed not to hear anything; she simply stared quietly ahead.
This made the atmosphere instantly awkward; Li Qiushui, seeing this, began to hype the mood, urging everyone to shout in support.
Li Qiushui grabbed the microphone and said, "Agree with him, agree with him, agree with him!"
Then the crowd also began to shout and scream, "Agree with him, agree with him, agree with him!"
The screams and shouts rose wave after wave, even those who had been sitting in booths rushed over, standing behind Jia Guolong, forming a massive support group.
But Fang Jingwen still pretended not to see, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, not even as a spectator.
Time passed second by second, and those who had been shouting with hoarse throats...
Those who shouted the hardest now had throats that began to smoke.
Three minutes passed with still no response; Li Qiushui muttered, this Fang Jingwen really has a big ego, still holding out; she shouldn't be unaware of Jia Guolong's background.
Could it be that she especially likes ceremony?
Thinking of this, she shouted, "Jia, I see it now; Miss Fang doesn't refuse you, but your sincerity hasn't reached yet."
"When you confess, you still stand; if it were me, I wouldn't agree either!"
Jia Guolong suddenly realized, yes, he should kneel on one knee to show his sincerity.
At the same time, he began to think, now I kneel on one knee before you, and later I will have you kneel on both knees before me every day.
Thinking of this, he thumped his chest, knelt on one knee, then lifted his head and loudly said, "Dear Jingwen, I am willing to cherish you with my truest heart, and I am willing to protect you with my whole life."
"Please agree to be my girlfriend, okay?"
This truly hit the mark on etiquette; the sense of ceremony reached its peak.
Even the club staff thought Fang Jingwen would at this moment immediately stand up, eyes teary, rush to Jia Guolong, embrace passionately, and share an everlasting kiss.
Even they thought so, and Jia Guolong surely thought the same in his heart.
However, Fang Jingwen still didn't move a hair, not even flicking her eyelid.
At this point Jia Guolong had been kneeling for over a minute; his earlier zeal had turned into resentment, and countless future scenarios of how to deal with Fang Jingwen flashed in his mind.
Especially in this kind of political marriage, even if the woman harbors grievances, divorce is impossible, and he has hundreds of methods to make Fang Jingwen submit beneath him.
A full five minutes passed, and Jia Guolong's complexion began to shift, from anticipation to displeasure.
He suppressed his inner irritation, cleared his throat again, and said, "Jingwen, may I ask you to agree to be my girlfriend? If you think I am lacking somewhere, I can change."
"If this continues, everyone's face will look bad, and it will never end properly."
Li Qiushui, Zhang Jiangbo, and Jia Guolong's support group all changed expression.
Even the little witch Liu Zixuan was about to help smooth things over, and at that moment, Fang Jingwen looked at Su Yang and asked, "Should I agree to him?"
