Chapter 61: The Engagement Ring (Volume 1)

  Back home, Xueer started bustling around my living room and bedroom. I sat on the sofa watching her, finally couldn't help but say: "Miss, what are you doing?! Don't keep walking back and forth in front of me, it's making me dizzy!"

  Xue Er heard me say that and immediately stopped in her tracks: "What's wrong, wasn't I doing it for you?"

  "For me?" I looked at her in confusion.

  "Isn't it? I'm helping you collect your luggage!" Xue Er said disbelievingly.

  "I gave her a blast: 'Your family isn't short of money, what's the point of bringing so many things over?!'"

  "Aren't we pretending to be someone else now? How can you be so reckless over there. You even hit me." After saying that, she pretended to cry.

  I rolled my eyes at her: "Idiot, after all we're from a noble academy, this little bit of money doesn't count for much. Don't make me look like some poor family's kid."

  "Oh dear! How could I have forgotten." Xue Er suddenly came to her senses.

  I shook my head helplessly: "By the way, have you told Xuan?"

  "He said that although he was reluctant, he would call me as soon as he had time and if he had time, he would come back to pick me up. He said I'm happy, didn't he?" Xue Er said with a happy face.

  I nodded, and suddenly felt a little downhearted. I muttered to myself: "I don't know if he will come to see me off, whether he will miss me on days without me, whether he will call me when he has time, whether he will come to pick me up when I return..."

  "I'll think of my wife!" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in my ear. I lifted my head along with the sound and that handsome face was imprinted on my eyes. I excitedly pounced on him, and tears somehow filled my entire face.

  At this time, Xue Er had already been taken away from my home by An Yi Xuan who had arrived.

  At night, he pushed me away from his arms, looked at my tear-stained face, and gently kissed the tears on my cheeks. The tears were slowly kissed away, and finally, his lips left a mark on mine. We entwined with each other, reluctant to part for a long time.

  I looked at Ye and slowly opened my mouth: "Ye, actually this time I went as an exchange student, it was because of you."

  "I know you want to help me investigate Leng Xuan clearly. I know you have the ability, so I'll let you go." Ye looked at me with a gaze full of pampering.

  I stared at him in surprise: "So it was you who deliberately let me see that information."

  "Alright, I know you must be bored not being able to do things. If you want to help me, then go ahead! Just be careful and pay attention to your safety. If anyone finds out who you are or if anything happens, call me immediately and I'll arrange for a special car to bring you back."

  I nodded happily: "I suddenly realized I'm so happy. Nye, thank you for loving me so much. Although we've only been together for a few days, these have been the happiest days of my life. But I still have one question: why did you let me go and not them? Wouldn't it be more suitable if they went instead?"

  "It seems my wife is not stupid after all, and I have my reasons. We 'Leng' gang people all know each other, but I'm not at ease leaving it to the younger ones. These past few days, I've been worried about this matter too. Luckily, my wife is so capable, so I'll let you handle it. However, you must work hard, our future marriage will be in your hands."

  I looked at him in confusion: "Why on my hand?"

  "Dummy, didn't I tell you? As long as we unify the world, we'll get married. However, the biggest obstacle to unifying the world is the 'Cold' faction." This was when I sensed a cold killing intent emanating from his eyes, making my blood run cold.

  I grasped his face: "Believe me, happiness is not far from us."

  He nodded slightly at night, then took out a delicate small box from his pocket, and I curiously asked: "What's this?"

  At night, he didn't say a word to me, opened the box, and inside were two couple rings. The silver ring was engraved with two beautiful flowers: jasmine and cherry blossoms. The two flowers intertwined together, with a small black diamond in the middle, while the other one had a purple diamond. I looked at him incredulously: "So beautiful! Are these custom-made rings?"

  "Ah! From the first day I met you." Ye said seriously at night, while slowly putting on a ring with purple aquamarine on my left middle finger: "This is an engagement ring. I'll set the engagement banquet on the second day after your return to China."

  I gazed at him, and gently kissed his lips with a light touch. Then I put the other ring from the box on his left middle finger: "This lifetime we can't be apart."

  We exchanged a smile, and our lips met again.
