But Huang Guoqiang did not consider Qi Liya's condition to be a burden.
He took a step forward and knelt on one knee before the bed. He took her hand and said affectionately, "Do you really think I care about that? If I did, I wouldn't be standing here now."
Qi Liya: "…"
"So you won't be able to have children of your own. There's nothing wrong with that. If you marry me, you'll be the mother to my son. If you don't like him, well, we can adopt a child of our own. It's all up to you."
Huang Guoqiang was no longer as nervous as he had been in the beginning. He grew increasingly confident as he poured his heart out to her, hoping that it would be enough to make her understand how much he loved her.
He was in love with who she was, not one of her organs.
So what if she was missing one of her organs? He would never stop loving her.
Huang Guoqiang had said everything he had to say. He reached into his pocket and fished out a round box.
He opened the box, revealing the shiny diamond ring lying inside.
"Little Qi, will you marry me? I swear to love you with all my heart, now and forever."
"…" Qi Liya looked at the diamond ring as tears sparkled in her eyes. She was deeply touched.
The gods had taken her health away. In return, they had given her a man who sincerely loved her. It had been a blessing in disguise.
Beside them, Xu Xiyan and Xiao Ke had also been moved to tears.
But Qi Liya remained silent. Xu Xiyan and Xiao Ke wrung their hands nervously as they tried to persuade Qi Liya:
"Say yes, Ms. Qi! Director Huang loves you so, so much!"
"Marry him, Ms. Qi. Just say yes…"
Qi Liya finally nodded. There were tears in her eyes as she accepted Huang Guoqiang's marriage proposal.
Huang Guoqiang could hardly contain his joy and excitement. He immediately plucked the ring out of the box and put it on Qi Liya's ring finger. Then he lowered his head, kissed the back of her hand, and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Huang. Thank you for marrying me."
To celebrate the successful marriage proposal, Xu Xiyan and Xiao Ke popped party poppers, showering Qi Liya with pretty rainbow confetti as they gave their blessings.
"Director Huang, Ms. Qi, I wish the both of you happiness."
Qi Liya's tears gave way to laughter. She chided her friends gently, saying, "This is a hospital room. Isn't this going a little too far?"
"Nope, not at all. Congratulations, Ms. Qi! You've been discharged. You can go home today!" Xu Xiyan announced cheerfully.
"Discharged?" Qi Liya was confused. Why had she been discharged? She had just been in the operating room.
Xu Xiyan told her the truth. "Ms. Qi, you don't actually have a tumor in your uterus. You were given sleeping pills in the operating room, but that was it. Nobody actually operated on you, nobody removed your womb."
Qi Liya's confusion deepened. "What do you mean? Are you saying that the two of you lied to me because you wanted me to accept the marriage proposal?"
Huang Guoqiang hastily explained: "Liya, you misunderstand. You have to thank Jing Xi, because…"
Huang Guoqiang and Xu Xiyan finally told Qi Liya the whole truth.
Qi Liya shuddered. "Who's trying to sabotage me?"
Who had been so cruel as to try to rob her of her uterus with a fake cancer surgery?
"Don't worry, Liya. I'll find out who's been trying to harm you, and make sure they regret it," Huang Guoqiang solemnly vowed.
"The doctor and nurse behind this are under our control now. All we have to do is interrogate them, and we'll know who's been pulling the strings behind the scenes," Xu Xiyan explained.
Qi Liya was sincerely grateful to Xu Xiyan for once again saving her. They had not known each other for long, but Xu Xiyan had proven herself to be a true friend. "Thank you, Jing Xi."
"Okay, that's enough 'thank you's' for today. C'mon, it's time to pack up and go home."
