"No matter what, thank you for making this possible for us," Wang Xiangxiang said, feeling quite embarrassed. She hadn’t even figured out who she had been with from start to finish, and this was truly shameful.
At that moment, Chu Lian suggested, "Young Master Han, since we’ve come to know each other through conflict, why don’t we all go inside and talk, and later have a meal at Chu Mansion."
"Well said about getting to know each other through conflict, let’s have a few drinks later."
Seeing that Han Yongsheng agreed, Chu Lian quickly arranged for the servants to prepare the meal and then led everyone inside.
As soon as Wang Xiangxiang entered the house, she took out the token of love that Han Yongsheng had given her, "Young Master Han, since I have already married someone else, I should return this to you."
Han Yongsheng took the so-called token of love, glanced at Wen Nuan sitting beside him, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. He removed the ring from the chain, walked over to Wen Nuan, took her hand, and slid the ring onto her ring finger.
The ring fit perfectly on Wen Nuan’s delicate and exquisite finger, which made Han Yongsheng’s heart quiver. Could this be his fated person? The size he had bought on a whim was actually his wife’s size.
Wen Nuan was surprised by Han Yongsheng’s action. Although they were married, they had rushed to Shanshi County overnight and hadn’t consummated the marriage; this was their first skin-to-skin touch.
She looked at the ring on her hand, unsure of its significance, aware only of its beauty, and politely said, "Thank you."
"Wow, it fits?" Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised. Everyone’s finger size is different, and nine times out of ten, a ring bought without trying would not fit. Yet, Wen Nuan could wear the ring Han Yongsheng bought—it seemed their fate was indeed great, "Wen Nuan, it looks like you and Young Master Han are destined for each other."
"Hm?" Wen Nuan didn’t understand Xiaoxiao’s words and couldn’t help but ask aloud.
"This ring comes in a pair. It was designed by Xiaoxiao. Each half of a couple has one. Young Master Han didn’t know his other half’s size when he bought it, but look, it fits you perfectly. Doesn’t that show that you two are a natural match?" Wang Xiangxiang explained.
Wen Nuan just smiled. A natural match? She didn’t think so deeply. Her father told her whom to marry, and she had no choice in the matter.
Seeing that Wen Nuan seemed skeptical, Xiaoxiao chimed in, "Don’t doubt it. This is fate. It’s not something everyone can wear. My sister can’t wear it."
"Okay," Wen Nuan smiled.
Seeing the three men sipping tea on the side, probably uninterested in the women’s chattering, Wang Xiangxiang suggested, "How about we change locations and talk? Let’s go to my new room."
"Oh, yes, yes, I’d love to see it," Xiaoxiao eagerly agreed.
Wen Nuan looked towards Han Yongsheng, who nodded and said, "Go ahead."
With permission granted, Wang Xiangxiang led Xiaoxiao and Wen Nuan into the new room.
Upon entering the new room, Wang Xiangxiang took Wen Nuan’s hand. Actually, she had suggested this solely to speak privately with Wen Nuan. Because of her, Wen Nuan married into the Han Family; was it willingly?
"Wen Nuan, I don’t know what to say, I just want to ask, how did you come to marry Han Yongsheng?"
