Chapter 6: The Sudden Proposal

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi
As soon as Yu Gangan stepped out of her ward, she saw the pretty boy and her auntie standing in front of a flower bed.
The pretty boy had a bunch of roses in his hands that looked exactly the same as the bunch that Fang Zhihan brought her earlier.
Yu Gangan subconsciously turned her body to avoid their gaze, but she was too late.
The old aunt spotted her from the corner of her eye and started calling from a fair distance away, “Gangan, Gangan…”
At the same time, Yang Tianyou ran as quickly as he could towards her with the roses in his hands. He then kneeled on the floor with one knee and presented a ring to her, “‘ If the feelings of both eternal stay, why must they be together night and day… 1 ‘”
Yang Tianyou’s sudden poem recital was so lame that it sent chills down Yu Gangan’s spine.
“I always thought that love was like this poem. But, that was until you got hurt and fell into a coma. ‘I don’t regret that my clothes are loose because I suffer and languish for you willingly’ 2 . That’s when I realized how much I loved you and that I couldn’t lose you. You are my heart, my soul and my everything. I can only breathe with you by my side. Please marry me, Gangan. I will definitely make you the happiest woman on Earth!”
Yu Gangan got goosebumps all over her body.
This was too cheesy.
How could he propose by combining classic poetry with phrases often used on the internet?
Did her ‘husband’, Fang Zhihan, shock them too badly?
Were they afraid that Fang Zhihan coaxed her away and ruined their ridiculous plan?
What was her older uncle’s family up to and what benefits had they offered this pretty boy for him to willingly marry a stranger?
At this time, Yu Gangan’s auntie rushed over and said happily as she tried to catch her breath, “Gangan, this is great! You and Tianyou can finally settle down together. This is so romantic. Marry him, marry him…”
The old woman clapped her hands as she kept repeating her last two words.
Her cheerful chanting quickly drew some onlookers to join in, “Marry him, marry him…”
After all, witnessing two lovers end up together was a romantic and moving thing.
With the support of onlookers, Yang Tianyou’s smile grew bigger.
He looked gratefully at the people around them before he turned his loving gaze back to Yu Gangan, “Marry me, Gangan. I will continue to love you in the following 10, 20, 50 years and even in my next life and the life after that!”
As Yu Gangan listened to the voices around her, she felt like her head was being trampled by a herd of horses.
How could these nosy onlookers join in when they had no idea what the truth was?
But, the blame went to her auntie for being so calculative.
She was taking advantage of the situation to force her onto the wedding carriage and she was using the public to make it impossible for her to reject the proposal.
Yu Gangan smirked and asked calmly, “Did you graduate from drama or Chinese opera? This proposal performance was very vivid and realistic.”
Between her unclear smile, there was a look of ridicule.
Yang Tianyou’s expression stiffened for a moment.
But, he quickly smiled again and said with increased sincerity, “Gangan, I know you’ve lost your memory and you can’t remember me. I’m not sure if this proposal is a good representation of my love, but I can guarantee that I’ll love you for the rest of my life. Marry me!!”
Yu Gangan looked at Yang Tianyou in slight amusement and coldly gave her response, “No!”
