This was what Dong Yujie meant.
They had just gotten together today.
Dong Yujie had thought about marriage before.
However, she simply didn't expect that Jiang Huaizhou would suggest it so soon.
Mrs. Dong then said, "I'm ready for your marriage. I thought that you two would definitely get married. I didn't even think otherwise."
At that, Jiang Huaizhou smiled.
"I just didn't expect this to happen on the first day," Mrs. Dong said.
"It's not the first day." Jiang Huaizhou said.
"Why?" Mrs. Dong was stunned when she heard that.
Jiang Huaizhou said, "When it comes to dating, it should start from the beginning of the relationship. Before the relationship, we had a mutual liking but not much understanding. Most of it is based on the likes of certain traits displayed on the surface."
Jiang Huaizhou said, "When people talk about dating, it actually starts from the beginning of the relationship. Before that, there is mutual affection but not a deep understanding. It is mostly due to some attractive qualities that are revealed on the surface. Only during the gradual process of getting to know each other can you better understand a person and make the decision to marry them. Dating and marriage are not the same. When dating, you always show your best side to the other person."
"Only after a gradual process of dating can one truly understand another person and make the decision to marry them. Love and marriage are different. When in love, one always shows their best side to the other person. However, when living together after marriage, differences in habits, beliefs, and even conflicts will eventually surface."
"So many people choose to live together during the dating period, not only because they don't want to be apart, but also to have a deeper understanding of each other."
"That's why I have no worries about these things with Yujie. We have lived together since we were young and we understand each other very well. I even know when Yujie had her first period. I know her habits and quirks, what she likes and dislikes. I know which celebrities she has liked since she was a child and whom she used to dream of marrying when she was young."
"Why are you bringing up such things all of a sudden?" Dong Yujie blushed.
All those silly thoughts from childhood were dark history.
However, Jiang Huaizhou knew about all these things.
Dong Yujie covered her forehead in frustration.
It was embarrassing.She did a lot of stupid things when she was young.
Since she was young, she always had a crush on older brothers who looked handsome.
As a child, she would watch celebrities on TV, and because there were many good-looking ones, she would change who she liked every other day.
Whenever she encountered a popular idol drama, she would obsessed with it along with the girls in her class.
And they would also buy posters together and put them in their rooms.
During holidays at home, she would watch some ancient martial arts dramas and mythological dramas.
She sees the female lead in the drama, dressed in white and floating, looking very good and graceful.
She wrapped herself in the bed sheets.
Jiang Huai Zhou has seen all these silly things.
As she grew up, Dong Yujie forgot some of the silly things she did as a child.
Dong Yujie was so embarrassed because all the silly things she had done when she was still young had all been brought up by Jiang Huaizhou.
"Don't be angry." Jiang Huaizhou hastily held Dong Yujie's hand. "I just wanted to say that other couples didn't dare to get married so early because they still don't know each other that well."
"However, I have spent time with you for over twenty years. We know each other very well, and we lived together for a very long time. If we get married, we wouldn't have any conflicts due to different living habits."
Jiang Huaizhou then looked over at Mrs. Dong, "Mom, that's why I think we shouldn't delay this any further. We don't need more time to get to know each other. I want to marry Yujie."
"I want to ask you for your permission." Jiang Huaizhou asked Dong Yujie, "Yujie, will you? Will you marry me?"
Indeed. They already knew each other well. They didn't need to rely on dating to get to know each other.
Getting married doesn't change the way they used to get along, it will be the same as before.
They could also just register their marriage and continue dating.
Since both of them have decided on each other, why waste time anymore?Dong Yujie looked over at Mrs. Dong.
Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me? You decide it yourself."
"It's up to you, do what you think is best." Mrs. Dong said with a smile.
Dong Yujie then said to Jiang Huaizhou, "Don't you regret it?"
"Actually, during our dating period, it was also a buffer time for you. You can take the time to consider our relationship. If you somehow regret things after we get married, then we can separate amicably," added Dong Yujie.
"Even if we broke up, I won't blame you." Dong Yujie said.
"I haven't felt any regret this past year, and I don't think I will," Jiang Huaizhou said, "I just want to marry you as soon as possible. I don't want to be separated from you. I want to always be with you."
"I'm worried that if I don't marry you as soon as possible, you might run away," said Jiang Huaizhou.
"Alright. But you have to know that if you regret it after we get married, I won't bother you. But our relationship won't be like how it was in the past," Dong Yujie said.
"I'm marrying you because I believe in your promise. I absolutely believe in you. I am willing to entrust half of my life to you. If you regret it in the future, things will not end on good terms."
"At least we won't be getting along until I die. If I am stubborn, I will try every method to ruin you. I will sacrifice everything to do this, just like how I sacrificed everything to save you."
"As long as I have such beliefs, I will do anything to achieve that." Dong Yujie said, "Considering our relationship, we won't even be able to remain brother and sister."
"I will hate you, and I will be in pain." Dong Yujie took a deep breath and said, "Are you prepared for this version of me?"
"You said that we know each other well, but we have both changed a lot during this past year. Have you thought of these things?"
Jiang Huaizhou smiled as he looked at Dong Yujie with determination.
"I thought about these things. I am saying these things after I have thought it through. I knew I could do it. That's why I said it." Jiang Huaizhou said.
"These things that you mentioned would never happen." Jiang Huaizhou said, "Yujie, are you willing to bet once? Try marrying me? This way, you will know that I will do everything I have promised you."
"I will not let you down. I will not let you fall into that state." Jiang Huaizhou said as he took out a small box from his pocket.
When she saw this, she knew that this was a ring box.
As expected, Jiang Huaizhou stood up. With his back facing Mrs. Dong, he knelt on one knee towards Dong Yujie.
Dong Yujie then opened the ring box in front of Dong Yujie.
There was a diamond ring inside.
This diamond ring was not small.
Dong Yujie was surprised as she asked, "When did you… prepare this?"
"When you left a year ago, I chased after you. Even though I didn't see you then, you promised me that it would just be a year." Jiang Huaizhou explained. "You promised me that you would return after a year."
