"I have something to ask you."
Su Yayan expected the question. "Go ahead."
"Why did you choose me?" Huo Chenhuan stared into Su Yayan's eyes. "Just because I'm Huo Shaofeng's uncle?"
Su Yayan furrowed her brows and walked toward Huo Chenhuan's side with the dog in her arms. After that, she crouched down and held Huo Chenhuan's hand.
Huo Chenhuan's pupils shrank slightly and before he could react, he heard Su Yayan say, "Because you're Huo Chenhuan."
"What?"
"It has nothing to do with anyone else. It's because you're Huo Chenhuan, I'm willing to marry you and want to marry you. Can you understand now?"
Huo Chenhuan's heart felt as if it was clenched tightly by a hand and was only loosened when he was on the verge of death. He could almost feel his pulse beating violently as the blood flowed backward.
However, the cruel truth forced him to calm down. "My legs will always be like this for the rest of my life."
"I don't mind. I care more about whether a person loves me—and will love me and only me—compared to his appearance. Even though Huo Shaofeng is able-bodied, in my eyes, a brainless scumbag like him is worth less than a billionth of you. Or rather, comparing him to you at all would be disrespectful to you."
Su Yayan's eyes were bright and showed no misgivings as she stared at him. She could not have been more serious.
Huo Chenhuan's hands that were holding his wheelchair tightened slightly. There was no change in his expressions, but the look in his eyes at that moment were jumping for joy and exposed how he was really feeling.
"Aren't you curious as to why I chose you?" A cunning look swept across Su Yayan's eyes and her entire body leaned closer to him.
Huo Chenhuan's heart skipped a beat and thought that she was going to sneak a kiss up on him again like yesterday.
However, to his surprise, Su Yayan stopped when she was five centimeters away from his face. She blinked and asked with a smile, "What do you see in my eyes?"
"Me?"
"Yes, my eyes are filled with the image of you and I can see that your eyes are filled with the image of me. That's what I want, a partner who only has eyes for us to be together and for no one to get between you and me. You can make sure that continues, can't you?"
"I..."
Su Yayan's words were like a candy tainted with poison, filled with a tantalizing aroma, alluring and bewitching him. However, once eaten, he would be doomed eternally.
The veins at the back of Huo Chenhuan's hand popped up and his fingers would not stop curling up and straightening.
After a few breaths, Huo Chenhuan seemed to have made up his mind. Both of his eyes were red, as if he had just crawled back from the depths of purgatory, like a ferocious ghost staring insidiously and stubbornly at Su Yayan.
"If you marry me, you'll... never have children for the rest of your life."
Su Yayan shuddered and looked at him in disbelief. "No children?"
"Yes. The car accident that year took more than just my legs. If you marry me, you'll never have a child of your own for the rest of your life."
Su Yayan felt as if a bolt had struck from the blue sky and blood was dripping from her heart.
More than the feeling of shock, she was heartbroken, remorseful, and resentful of the world.
It was no wonder he never dared to take her for himself in the previous life despite desiring her so much!
She thought that the only reason he was afraid to declare his love for her was because his legs were disabled and that he was afraid that he would resent her. She thought that those were the reasons he chose to watch over her silently without wanting anything in return.
However, she never thought that…
When Huo Chenhuan saw how sad Su Yayan looked, he flinched and retreated. His eyes sank. "If you regret this, it's not too late. I can tell your parents that it was me who… Mmph"
