However, Tian Hui's hushed explanation quickly reassured them. Although they didn't quite like the idea of kneeling as part of a marriage proposal etiquette, knowing their son's personality, they decided to let him be.
A man who's unafraid of being criticized for kneeling before a woman—why should his parents interfere!
Xia Zheng's kneeling not only shocked the onlookers but also startled Lin Yuan immensely. This one-knee proposal etiquette was the most common during her previous era.
But here, it was nothing short of a revolutionary act!
"Yuanyuan, this lifetime, the next lifetime—I will treat you well. For all eternity, I am devoted only to you, and I shall never break this vow!"
Xia Zheng's confession jolted Lin Yuan back to reality. Looking at the man before her, he showed no trace of shame or reluctance due to the kneeling. His face was full of care for her and eager anticipation for her answer.
