Chapter 162: 143. I love you, and I want the whole world to know

"Ivy, marry me!"

Still in amazement and pondering his suggestion of what day to get the marriage license, Ivy’s hand was gently lifted by Michael Gordon, and a swift, unexpected kiss landed on her ring finger.

As her finger tightened, she lowered her head to see an extra item on her ring finger - a ring that Michael Gordon had put directly on it. The huge diamond shone brilliantly and dazzlingly, making Ivy squint her eyes.

Oh my God!

Such a big one!

Is this the legendary pigeon egg?

When Ivy used to watch TV with Bianca, they would always see A-list celebrities marrying into wealthy families and flaunting their pigeon egg-sized rings. The two would scream in unison. Now that the pigeon egg was on her own hand, Ivy felt somewhat unreal!

Ivy waved her hand in front of her semi-squinted eyes, and after a moment, she finally asked, "Michael Gordon, is this a diamond or cubic zirconia?"

Michael Gordon had been waiting for her to nod in agreement, but instead, she asked this question, which almost made him cough up blood!

Would he, Michael Gordon, ever buy cubic zirconia?

"Ivy, I’m proposing to you. I’m asking you to marry me!"

Michael Gordon reminded her without mercy that she could nod her head in agreement and stop researching whether the ring was a diamond or cubic zirconia. He was still kneeling half-way in front of her, waiting for her to agree, but she didn’t bother to look, studying the ring instead.

"You said you want me to marry you, but you didn’t ask if I want to marry you!"

Putting her hand down, Ivy hooked both hands around the neck of the man half-kneeling in front of her, and a playful smile flickered across the corner of her lips. "Since you’ve already made up your mind, is there any need for me to add fuel to the fire by saying it? Should I be bold and refuse you again?"

This man had always been domineering, especially when it came to forcing marriage. During her time in the hospital, she had been tormented countless times. Last time, he brought a roomful of roses and threatened her. If she didn’t marry him, they would sleep on top of the roses!

At the time, she pretended to be high and mighty and didn’t make a sound. Unbelievably, he actually slept on top of the thorny roses one night. Though it seemed childish, she was genuinely touched!

He had forced her into marriage so many times, and they already had a child. Her impression of him seemed better every day, so to keep refusing would indeed be a bit pretentious. So why not marry him, even if it’s for Bianca’s sake!

Michael Gordon was initially taken aback but immediately reacted, jumping up in surprise and hugging her while showering her with kisses. "You agreed?! You really agreed?!"

Ivy: "..."

Was she really so difficult to handle?

He was so excited that it struck Ivy as rather bizarre, but at the same time, her heart was encompassed by a faint warmth. She remembered Sienna Harrison once saying that if a mature, steady, and resolute man suddenly became childish, idiotic, and clingy for a woman, it meant that he truly loved her!

In Ivy’s impression, Michael Gordon could not be considered steady, but he had a specific charisma when controlling one of the world’s top companies and controlling the livelihood of millions. With just one sentence, he could make a large-scale company experience life or death overnight!

These four words, "resolute and decisive," suited him perfectly!

During her time at the company, Ivy admitted that Michael Gordon was indeed a business genius she looked up to. Allure International had gone from a domestic second-rate company to a world-class one in just a few years for a reason.

Such a man could create a legend if not already regarded as one!

Suddenly, one day, a childish man like him showed such affection towards a woman, whether in love or not, at least he had enough weight in his heart at the moment!

"Ivy, tell me, did you agree to marry me?"

Due to his excitement, Michael Gordon kissed her more forcefully, his kisses moving from her cheeks to the collarbone area of her neck. The lazy tone in his voice held a tempting charm. "Ivy, tell me, you’re willing to marry me!"

Dissatisfied that she wouldn’t utter the words "I do," Michael Gordon punished Ivy by biting her collarbone.

Being sensitive to such matters, Ivy instantly felt warmer and slightly uncomfortable due to his mischief!

Furthermore, this man seemed to specialize in teasing her sensitive spots. Aside from that night six years ago, it seemed like nothing had happened between them. How did this man become so familiar with her sensitive areas?

"I agreed!" Ivy had just begun to recover when he ignited her fiery emotions. "I agreed to marry you, isn’t that enough? Don’t start any fires on this body that can only be seen but not touched. It’s not uncomfortable for you, but it is for me!"

Perhaps it was because he had made her uncomfortably aroused that Ivy, who was usually calm, ended up roaring!

Upon hearing this, Michael Gordon stopped his actions, lifting his head buried in her neck and rubbing it against her now rosy cheek.

"If you’d been this well-behaved and agreed earlier, I wouldn’t have left you frustrated!"

Michael Gordon’s lazy voice was filled with suppressed hoarseness. As for igniting fires, they were like moths to a flame. If someone was to be frustrated, it probably wouldn’t be just her.

"Michael Gordon, is this fun for you?"

Ivy looked at him coldly, and after a moment, she noticed something wrong with the man holding her and moved her gaze from his face to his suit pants!

In an instant, Ivy burst into laughter. "Who’s frustrated now?"

Clearly, someone’s situation was worse than hers, and speaking of physiological needs, men were naturally inclined!

Seeing the increasingly strong sense of schadenfreude in Ivy’s bright smile on her fair, clean face, Michael Gordon’s handsome face instantly darkened!

This woman really had the nerve. If it weren’t for her refusal to say she’d marry him, he wouldn’t have resorted to this self-destructive strategy. Speaking of self-destruction, it seemed only he was affected!

It made no sense, right?

Don’t women have needs too?

Or did the car accident affect her sexual function?

Logically, women shouldn’t be affected, right?

As he thought this, Michael Gordon’s beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and a faint anxiety crossed his darkened face.

After a while, he stared at her and finally said, "Ivy, you won’t..."

"Won’t what?" Ivy felt a little irritated by his inexplicable look. "I already said I’d marry you. What else do you want? What are you trying to pull now?"

By instinct, Ivy assumed he wanted some sort of commitment, but she never imagined that he’d have such a lewd thought in mind!
