"Do I even need to say this to you?" Luo Haotian's hand brushed away the remaining tears on her face as he looked into her eyes and said very seriously, "Let's get married. Really, let's get married. I've thought about it for a long time, and it will allow you and Lele to settle down sooner. Lele needs a father, and you need a husband."
Qianning was stunned by his words.
"Think about it," Luo Haotian continued, "you and Lele can't go on like this forever. You're still young, and Lele is only two years old. When she grows up, she's going to ask you a lot of questions. You should also think about the future for yourself and Lele. Or... do you still hope to be with Beigong Cang?"
"No!" Qianning immediately replied, "I would only bring him pain; leaving him is the best choice."
"Then marry me," Luo Haotian seized Qianning's hand and gently kissed it.
Qianning silently lowered her head and then nodded.
