This moment!

Everyone's eyes widened, stunned as they stared at the dazzling Heart of the Ocean within the brocade box, completely dumbfounded!

One by one, their scalps tingled, unbelieving!

There was silence for a full ten seconds before the entire hall erupted!

"Is.. is that.. the Heart of the Ocean?!"

"No way! Is that the same Heart of the Ocean that the mysterious rich man just bought on TV for 110 million?!"

"It really is the Heart of the Ocean, oh my god, it's so beautiful!"

"So Jiang Chen is that mysterious rich man? How is that possible? How could he bear to part with it?"

The people of the Gong family were well-traveled and could tell real from fake jewelry at a glance, and now realizing that this was indeed the Heart of the Ocean, they were all shockingly overwhelmed.

Gong Lin was also startled! She couldn't help but take a step back.

Suddenly, she felt as if she were dreaming.

Jiang Chen had actually given her such a precious gift!

At the thought, Gong Lin's eyes brimmed with tears.

She felt as if she had become the happiest, sweetest woman in the world!

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Gong Lin, since we got married, I haven't given you a decent gift, so this time I went to Jincheng and bought this Heart of the Ocean for you, hoping you would like it."

"Like it, of course I like it!"

Gong Lin wiped away tears of joy, nodding with a beaming smile on her face, feeling incredibly sweet inside.

Then she turned her head and swept a glance at Old Lady Luo and the others, the corners of her mouth curving slightly upward.

Do you see? This is the real man, the good man you speak of!

The gift he has given me, none of you could match!

And facing Gong Lin's proud gaze, the Gong family girls all looked at her with envious eyes, their envy unspeakable.

Suddenly someone asked:

"110 million! Could this also be an expression of wholehearted devotion?"

"Get out! With such a lavish display of devotion, if it were given to me, I'd die of love!"

Hearing these words, Old Lady Luo, Gong Zijun, and the others had ashen faces, while Gong Yue looked at Jiang Chen with eyes full of jealousy and resentment!

"Jiang Chen, would you please put it on for me?" Gong Lin looked up at Jiang Chen and spoke with a smile.

Jiang Chen smiled softly, took out the Heart of the Ocean and carefully placed it around Gong Lin's neck.

"So beautiful!" Jiang Chen moved in front of Gong Lin, looking at the beautiful woman adorned with jade and genuinely exclaimed.

But looking at Jiang Chen, so close at hand, Gong Lin suddenly felt moved, reached up to wrap her arms around Jiang Chen's neck and kissed his lips directly.

Jiang Chen was startled at first, about to push Gong Lin away when he suddenly realized that this was in the Gong family house, in front of people like Old Lady Luo, and it would not be appropriate for him to do so. With no other choice, he wrapped his arms around Gong Lin and the two began to kiss passionately.

"Wow——"

The girls of the Gong family were all amazed, their faces blushing with envy as they watched the two. They wished they could be Gong Lin at that moment.

"Hooligan!" Gong Yue stomped her foot in anger and ran out.

Old Lady Luo looked at Jiang Chen with a cold expression and turned to leave the living room, while Gong Zijun led a group of younger members of the Gong family out as well, not wanting to watch any longer.

"That, I... just now I got a bit carried away." Their lips parted, Gong Lin glanced at the now-empty living room and spoke with a blush.

Jiang Chen laughed awkwardly, "It's fine, I took advantage too."

The two shared an awkward moment before looking at each other and breaking into a knowing smile, feeling that their relationship had grown closer.

"Jiang Chen, where are you headed next?" Gong Lin asked with a light laugh.

A trace of apology appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes as he looked deeply at Gong Lin and spoke in a low voice, "I'm going to see Jing Yi to give her acupuncture and massage."

"I'll go with you," Gong Lin said, her heart fluttering with anticipation as she gazed at Jiang Chen.

"Okay!" Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently.

The two left the Gong Family residence and drove to the hospital.

While administering acupuncture and massage to Ye Jingyi, Jiang Chen recounted the events of the past few days.

As Gong Lin watched, envy appeared in her eyes. She turned to glance at Ye Jingyi, who was lying on the bed, and suddenly a different thought surged in Gong Lin's heart. She wished she were the one lying there!

After the acupuncture and massage session, Jiang Chen left the ward to inquire about Ye Jingyi's current condition with the doctor responsible for her special care.

Gong Lin glanced at the door Jiang Chen had closed behind him, then turned to look at Ye Jingyi.

After a long contemplative gaze, she suddenly whispered,

"I know Jiang Chen is good to you, and his heart loves only you, but...

I also love him so deeply that I cannot extricate myself!

Now, because of you, he has no choice but to marry me. And I know this is just a marriage of convenience. He will eventually awaken you and then divorce me to remarry you.

I believe he has the ability. He's an extraordinary man, a man who can constantly create miracles!"

"But... I can't bear to let him go. Without him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive."

As she said this, Gong Lin looked again at Ye Jingyi, who appeared to be in a deep sleep, glanced once more at the door, bit her lip, and in a low voice said,

"Actually, I have a bold idea. I... I want to marry him with you!

I only dare to say this to you while you're still asleep, and I don't know if you would agree after you wake up. Even though I'm older than you, I'm willing to call you 'sister' as long as you're willing to let me be with Jiang Chen. I can agree to anything."

As she spoke, Gong Lin began to cry softly.

Just then, the door to the ward opened, and Jiang Chen walked in.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Gong Lin in tears, Jiang Chen asked with concern.

Gong Lin raised her hand to wipe her tears and responded softly, "It's nothing. I just feel uneasy seeing Jing Yi lying here like this."

Jiang Chen let out a gentle sigh, his eyes full of resolve as he declared, "I will definitely awaken Jing Yi, for sure!"

Gong Lin was momentarily taken aback, a pained expression in her eyes. She looked down at Ye Jingyi, who lay on the hospital bed, and pondered to herself:

Can my wish come true? When Jing Yi wakes up... will she be willing to join me in a shared life with Jiang Chen?

After a while, the two left the ward.

However, neither of them noticed the fluctuations on the monitor next to Ye Jingyi had become much more intense.

...

As they exited the hospital, Jiang Chen told Gong Lin about his and Yè Yùwǎn's desires to pursue further education at Dingjing University.

"No problem, leave it to me!" Gong Lin smiled and nodded, her eyes twinkling as she teased, "You're so considerate of Yu Wan. Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to her? After all, she sings so beautifully, and she's really pretty too."

Jiang Chen paused, a memory of waking up with Yè Yùwǎn in the hotel one morning flashing through his mind, and his heart skipped a beat as he quickly shook his head, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly have such thoughts about Yu Wan? Absolutely not!"

Gong Lin smiled faintly, half-jokingly saying, "Actually, I think it would be quite nice if you did. A man like you can't be completely possessed by one woman. You need to be more open-minded."

Jiang Chen was dumbstruck, looking at Gong Lin blankly, at a loss for words.

Gong Lin smiled slightly, took Jiang Chen's arm, and said, "All right, I was just teasing you. Come on, let's go home."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and gave Gong Lin a sideways glance.

With a chuckle, Gong Lin lowered her head slightly, a complex look flashing in her eyes.
