Yang Mengchen opened the brocade box and inside were neatly arranged six Purple Jade Starflower Hairpins, each carved with exquisite and delicate craftsmanship.
"That night, right after I threw away those hairpins, I regretted it. Ever since I've been back, every moment I've been thinking of you, yearning for you. So, I carved these hairpins again, pouring all my affection and longing for you into them."
Gently touching the hairpins imbued with Long Xuanmo's deep affection, Yang Mengchen's eyes gradually misted with emotion, her heart filled with being moved.
"Ah Jiu, please marry me and become my wife!" Long Xuanmo knelt on one knee before Yang Mengchen, holding her hands tightly as he looked into her dark pupils with a persistent and unwavering love and determination, "I will protect you with my life for all my days!"
