Chapter 18: I Agree, Marry You
Ji Niandong felt her forehead sweating from the pain, struggling to stand up; after several attempts, she eventually sat back down.
"Beg me now, I can immediately have the hospital transfer your father to a VIP room! However..." The man paused momentarily, "This is the last chance I’ll give you. If you remain ungrateful, my patience might just..."
Before he could finish, the small woman’s hand gently tugged at his pant leg. With her head bowed and her face toward the floor, Lu Beichen could only see the back of her head. A voice, as faint as a whisper, reached him: "I agree!"
"What?" Lu Beichen raised his eyebrows, deliberately asking.
Ji Niandong lifted her head, her face silent but expression extremely firm, as if she had made a significant decision: "I agree to marry you!"
Lu Beichen tilted his head, pressed his lips together to suppress a smile and said coldly, "How do I know if you truly wish to marry me willingly? What if after I perform the surgery for your father, you change your mind?"
Ji Niandong’s brow was beet red, tugging at his pant leg with a trembling voice: "Please, save my father. As long as you save him, I can go home right now, get the household register and we can get the marriage certificate!"
She looked at him, full of anticipation waiting for his answer!
Lu Beichen took out his phone from his pocket, saying, "Li Yi, instruct Zhu Yiming to transfer my future father-in-law to the best room; he will personally arrange the surgery!"
His tone carried an unmistakable hint of joy; after putting away his phone, he bent down and lifted the small woman from the floor, placing her on the sofa.
Her right ankle was visibly swollen and red. Lu Beichen squatted down to remove her high heels, but her instincts made her pull back slightly, only for Lu Beichen to catch her ankle in one swift motion.
