MMH Chapter 19

Ye Ting stood still, as if frozen, his mind bursting with fireworks.

Is this man proposing to him?

He stared intensely at the handsome face of the man, then slowly looked at the open box.

On the red velvet lay a diamond ring, intricately engraved with patterns, looking quite complex and beautiful.

Gently, He Jing looked at him. “Ye Ting, will you marry me?”

His gaze was deep and focused, so captivating.

Ye Ting, lost in his eyes, uncontrollably nodded.

He Jing smiled, took his hand, and slid the ring onto his ring finger, leaning down to give him a kiss.

Ye Ting felt his heart tingling as if his heartbeat had stopped.

He Jing didn’t immediately stand up, still on one knee, holding his hand. His deep gaze focused on Ye Ting. “If you’re willing, after you return to Haicheng, we’ll register our marriage.”

Without hesitation, Ye Ting said, “I’m willing! Of course, I’m willing!”

He Jing smiled slightly, stood up, and embraced him. Ye Ting’s hands tightly clung to his neck, smiling happily.

He Jing carried him under his arms, placing him on his lap, encircling his slender waist. “I discussed it with Uncle and Aunt. After we register our marriage, we’ll have an engagement banquet first. Their suggestion is to get engaged before getting married, ideally with a six-month gap in between, and then have another wedding ceremony at the end of the year.” He gently brushed his fingertip over the young man’s fair face. “If you want to have a direct wedding, we’ll follow your preference.”

He proposed and suggested registering their marriage with the young man because the young man lacked a sense of security.

In the messages he received from the young man on WeChat, there was occasionally a sense of unease, always fearing that he might suddenly reject him.

He thought that only by getting married could he make the young man completely trust his intentions.

So, he carefully chose a ring and proposed to the young man.

He also considered that, given the young man’s age, marrying early might be a constraint.

Therefore, he left the choice to the young man. If the young man was unwilling, he wouldn’t force it, and they would proceed with the original plan of engagement.

But as he expected, the young man, with just one question, nodded eagerly.

Ye Ting is still young and doesn’t understand the marriage process. He asked softly, “Why do my parents say we should wait for half a year… is there a reason for that?”

He Jing glanced at Ye Ting’s big, round, black eyes and explained gently, “In ancient times, it was customary to be engaged before marriage, a sign of respect for the partner.”

“Oh…” Ye Ting sighed, “Why were people in ancient times so troublesome? I just want to have the wedding quickly and let the whole world know that we are married.”

The young man’s innocent and adorable complaint made He Jing chuckle.

He Jing flicked Ye Ting’s nose, “Just six months.”

The young man hummed a couple of times.

He was still thinking about what the man had said before – that only when they were married could he cook a decent meal…

But thinking about it, the man’s original plan was to get married after he graduated from his fourth year of college. Now, it’s more than three years ahead of schedule, which is quite a good deal.

So, he became happy again and was about to express his acceptance of the proposal to get married after six months.

Unexpectedly, the man spoke again in a low voice, “Then let’s just have the wedding directly.”

Ye Ting looked up in surprise, “Can we?”

He Jing kissed his forehead, “Yes, as I just said, it’s all up to you.”

He Jing would naturally give the young man enough respect and care. What’s the significance of ancient traditions?

Ye Ting felt a bit emotional. He realized that the man really spoiled him. Even in such significant matters, he went along with what Ye Ting wanted.

He kissed the man’s jaw and said affectionately, “I love you, Jing-gege.”

He Jing’s eyes softened, and he lovingly kissed him on the forehead. The young man always showed his love openly, and He Jing liked it very much.

He, too, was deeply influenced by such intense love, becoming even more determined.

In reality, his worries were not fewer than the young man’s. He feared that the young man would regret it as he grew older, and he feared that the young man’s love would be like a fleeting firework—intense but brief.

However, in the young man’s unwavering love, he gradually became firm and stopped hesitating.

Even if they were to part ways in the future, he was willing to give the young man this beautiful memory. Of course, given his nature, he would never let the young man have a day of regret.

He would strive to make the young man keep looking at him with admiring eyes and loving him forever.

Ye Ting also put a ring on He Jing, joyfully stacking their ring fingers together.

It looked so beautiful.

He silently observed for a while, realizing that the pattern on the ring was rose petals, which explained its intricate appearance.

There were also initials engraved on the inside of the ring. His was HJ, and the man’s was YT—simple and straightforward yet touching.

He Jing embraced him and whispered, “It was a rush purchase, so we only had time to engrave the initials. In the future, we’ll have custom-made rings, and you can choose the design.”

Ye Ting was already quite satisfied. With a smile, he said, “This one is perfect.”

Roses symbolized love, and his love for the man was also passionate and fervent. He hoped the man would reciprocate with the same warmth and affection.

He felt the symbolism was excellent.

He Jing kissed his lips with a smile and made a sound of agreement, saying, “I’ll follow your lead.”

Ye Ting felt like he had fallen into a honey jar. Hugging the man’s neck, he coquettishly asked, “So, will you listen to me from now on?”

He Jing nodded without hesitation, “I will.”

Ye Ting went to kiss the man with a playful smile, secretly thinking that in the future, he wouldn’t have any other requests except that the man must cook for him often. He really wanted to be pampered and spoiled.

He Jing glanced at him and immediately understood what the young man was thinking. He shook his head helplessly but found it somewhat amusing.

What was this young man daydreaming about every day?

He placed Ye Ting on the bed, took his luggage, pulled out a file bag, and walked back to the bedside, saying, “All my assets over the years are in this document. There’s someone managing it, but you should also familiarize yourself with my financial situation. I’ve already instructed the lawyer to change the documents. When we get married, these will be our joint assets.”

Ye Ting widened his eyes, staring at the file bag, suddenly feeling a bit at a loss.

He had never thought that He Jing would entrust his entire fortune to him.

As the youngest child in the Ye family, he received annual dividends, and his parents and older cousins would also give him pocket money. He wasn’t lacking in money, and being with He Jing was solely driven by love. He had never considered taking anything from He Jing.

But this was He Jing’s sincerity, making him realize that He Jing genuinely wanted to live a stable life with him.

His eyes gradually reddened.

No wonder He Jing thought he was still too young. While he only had a heart full of love, He Jing considered everything, arranging meetings with both sets of parents, setting an engagement date, proposing to him, and now, entrusting his entire wealth to him…

Step by step, He Jing’s love was much deeper and more far-sighted than his own.

He Jing handed the file bag to him and kissed his forehead, saying, “You can take your time to go through it.”

Ye Ting felt that the documents weighed a ton. For a long while, he tightly hugged He Jing’s neck, choked up, and said, “Then I’ll also put your name on all my things. I have a lot of money, and I’ll let you use it all when the time comes…”

The young man babbled on, occasionally sniffing, both cute and sincere.

He Jing chuckled and pressed the young man’s head against his chest, kissing the top of his head.

This silly kid, why was he so endearing?

…

In the next two days, aside from shooting scenes, Ye Ting stayed close to He Jing.

However, his filming wasn’t easy because it was a fantasy martial arts drama with fight scenes and wirework.

Although there were stunt doubles in the crew, Ye Ting didn’t want to be seen as delicate. For less challenging actions, he insisted on doing them himself.

By the end of the day, he had acquired quite a few small wounds on his body.

He Jing was extremely distressed. While Ye Ting had mentioned the hardships of filming, He Jing didn’t realize it could be physically damaging.

Fortunately, Ye Ting was in high spirits, finding wirework and fight scenes intriguing. Despite exhaustion, he remained happy.

After finishing shooting in the early morning, He Jing applied medicine to Ye Ting’s injuries. As he looked at the bruises on the young man’s fair skin, his eyes darkened. He got into bed, embraced the young man, and asked softly, “Do you like acting?”

Ye Ting nodded, “It’s very interesting.”

He Jing kissed his forehead, “Do you want to keep acting forever?”

Ye Ting started to contemplate.

Working in this industry was indeed very demanding. Although they earned more than ordinary people, they also had to invest more. For instance, their crew often filmed at night, requiring everyone, including actors, to stay up late. Actors, in particular, often ended up with injuries.

While Ye Ting had heard about some actors complaining that acting was exhausting and asking others to do their entire roles, most actors were dedicated. Take the leads in their current drama, for example; they actively participated in many fight scenes.

Resting against He Jing’s chest, playing with his fingers, Ye Ting said, “After finishing this one, I won’t act anymore. I want to go back to school.”

It wasn’t that he couldn’t endure the hardships of acting, but being away from He Jing during filming was something he couldn’t bear. He didn’t need the money, and he didn’t want to endure the pain of separation.

He Jing gently stroked his face.

He didn’t want Ye Ting to go through such hardships, but if Ye Ting liked it, he would support him. Now that Ye Ting had chosen to give up, besides feeling relieved, he didn’t intend to inquire further.

The next afternoon, He Jing left the film crew. Ye Ting hugged his waist and kissed him goodbye, agreeing to meet again next week.

Unfortunately, when the next weekend arrived, He Jing had to go on a business trip for an overseas company, lasting half a month.

As a result, the two lovers were separated for more than twenty days before they could meet again.

Fortunately, this separation coincided with the conclusion of the male lead’s scenes.

It was the end of August when Ye Ting finished his last scene. He agreed to meet with the director and the crew members to celebrate in Haicheng, so he grabbed his luggage and headed straight to the airport.

He didn’t inform He Jing in advance. With his bodyguard, he boarded the plane.

By the time the plane landed in the afternoon, Ye Ting didn’t go home but headed directly to the Zhou family headquarters.

He was the young master of the Ye family, Zhou Nianyuan’s cousin. No one used to dare to stop him, and now that the employees knew about his relationship with He Jing, they naturally wouldn’t dare to interfere. The receptionist at the front desk was very diligent in escorting him to the elevator.

He Jing’s office occupied an entire floor, and besides his assistant and the secretary’s office, there were no other employees.

When Ye Ting arrived, both the assistant and the secretary were present.

Yang Xuanyang was the first to react, surprised, “Young Master, why are you back?”

Ye Ting put his index finger to his lips, signaling silence, and whispered, “Shh, we’ll talk later. I’m going to see Jing-ge first.”

He came to surprise He Jing and didn’t want He Jing to hear any noise.

Watching him bounce happily towards He Jing’s office, Yang Xuanyang shook his head with a smile and continued with his work. Several female secretaries exchanged glances, all carrying a bit of gossip in their expressions.

Xiao Yi had been silently fired. They later found out that she had been sent to prison. It was said that Xiao Yi had stolen files from her previous company, and the company had pressed charges.

However, if it weren’t for He Jing’s manipulation, how could the incident from a few years ago have resurfaced?

He Jing personally took care of the emotional rival for Young Master Ye, showing how much he loved him.

Ye Ting pushed the door open, and He Jing was engrossed in reading documents.

The man’s desk was full of vases, all the flowers he had sent. Some had turned into dried flowers, and dried red roses hung on the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ye Ting had originally wanted to startle He Jing a bit, but upon seeing the scene, he froze in place, and his eyes turned red.

In places he didn’t know, the man treated his affection so carefully.

He Jing sensed someone standing at the door, raised his eyes, and upon seeing the young man, he was slightly surprised. After a moment, a gentle smile curved his lips.

Ye Ting: “…”

Thump, the heart flutters.
