“What is it?” Luosang walked over and asked. When she saw it clearly, she paused for two seconds, then bent over and picked it up.
It was a dazzling diamond ring with a pink stone in the center, surrounded by two rings of small diamonds.
She gave a start.
“Do you like it?”
She heard his voice, as deep as a cello.
“As I said, your hands need a ring,” he said.
Luosang stared at the ring for quite a while, until he lost patience and picked up the ring to put it on her ring finger.
“Mr. Nian…” She flinched and said, “You only wear a ring on that finger when you get married or engaged.”
She remembered that once, a man had kneeled on one knee and put a ring on her ring finger. She thought that she would be with him for the rest of her life, yet in the end, he took everything away from her.
For a moment, she was in a trance.
“Yeah?” Nian Junting paused. He raised his head to look at her, then asked, “Do you want to marry me?”
“What?”
“If you’re not thinking about marrying me, why’re you staring at your ring finger? Didn’t you say that people only wear rings on that finger when they get married or engaged?” Nian Junting smiled proudly, “Don’t think that far yet. Let’s do it step by step.”
“I wasn’t thinking about marrying you,” she said. “I was thinking about something else.”
“What can you possibly think when you’re with me?” Nian Junting’s face suddenly darkened. “You’re not thinking about another man, are you? Who is he? Chi Shengxu? Huang Qingyang?”
Luosang didn’t know how to respond. Chi Shengxu, she could understand, but why Huang Qingyang?
“I’m not…”
“Good then.” Nian Junting nodded and fixed his dark eyes on her. “I’m not a narrow-minded person. But you can only think about me when you’re with me. You can’t think about other men or women. Well, except for your mother.”
Luosang honestly didn’t know how to continue this conversation.
“Since you can’t wear it on this finger, just wear it on your middle finger.” Nian Junting took the ring off her ring finger to put it on her middle finger. However, before the ring was put onto her finger, she drew back her hand.
“Mr. Nian, this ring is too expensive… We just started this relationship not long ago, so I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to give me this now.”
“It’s not expensive; just about a hundred thousand. I thought of your concerns. I don’t mind its price, but I worried that you might feel pressure. Therefore, I chose a cheap one.”
A hundred thousand… A cheap one… I really don’t understand the world of rich people.
“Mr. Nian, if I wear this in class, I’ll catch so much attention.” Luosang tried again. The ring might be inexpensive to him, but to her, it was way too valuable.
“So what? Don’t all your schoolmates know that you now have a tall, handsome, and rich boyfriend?” Nian Junting held her hands tight, slightly opened his sexy mouth and said, “Luosang, even though you’re only my girlfriend now, I still want to give you all the best.”
Almost all the women in the world would be touched by what he just said.
Luosang’s heart thumped. She raised her head to look at him. Under the lamplight, his handsome face had a faint and warm yellow color; even his eyes, which had become cold and sharp for the business world, now looked scorching hot.
In terms of appearance, he was spotlessly handsome.
Regarding demeanor, he was excellent.
He had lots of shortcomings too and often made people want to laugh and cry at the same time. Sometimes, Luosang even wanted to stitch his lips together. However, he showed up many times when she was in trouble or danger. Maybe he hadn’t realized that yet, but he always made her feel being cared for; he kept her sheltered and protected.
Perhaps, if she hadn’t meet Yi Jingxi, she would never have been touched by a man like Nian Junting.
