The staff dared not refuse, immediately picking out a beautiful ring box for Shi Nuan.
Shi Nuan placed the ring inside the box, closed the lid, and walked out of the backstage to find Song Yansheng.
The moment Shi Nuan stepped out, she saw Song Yansheng.
He was standing at a counter, with two delicate and graceful female clerks speaking to him.
The man’s eyes were downcast, his cool and handsome face showing composure, lost in thought.
Shi Nuan never denied Song Yansheng’s allure, nor that she was once attracted to him.
Yet, this attraction was probably like the universal appreciation for beauty...
It seems she ultimately couldn’t escape worldly desires, and she, after all, was just an ordinary person.
Perhaps it was intuition; from a distance, the man suddenly looked up, his gaze landing on Shi Nuan, a gentle smile spreading across his lips.
Shi Nuan’s fingers tightened around the ring box, pausing out of an inexplicable feeling, standing still.
Noticing this, the man walked over, quickly approaching, causing Shi Nuan to lower her head in embarrassment.
Ashamed of her childish act...
She didn’t even know what she was doing...
Song Yansheng, seeing her head lowered, assumed she was shy and gently moved her dark hair while his subtle sandalwood scent lingered at Shi Nuan’s nose.
His voice was gentle, "Come over quickly, there are a few rings I think are quite nice..."
Shi Nuan’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, and she murmured, "En," without saying anything else.
Song Yansheng wrapped his arm around Shi Nuan’s slender shoulders, bringing her to the counter and pointing at a few rings for her to see.
The two beautiful female clerks, seeing the lady of the house return, wisely stepped aside.
Shi Nuan’s attire was simple and elegant, resembling a student, and she wasn’t very old.
But she was indeed beautiful, not in a stunning way, but memorable at first sight.
Standing beside Song Yansheng, whose temperament and looks were extraordinary, she surprisingly presented no incongruity, rather they appeared harmonious and lovely.
Shi Nuan looked at the rings Song Yansheng selected; they were not bad, relatively understated, much better than diamonds flashing on the hand.
Among them, three had small engravings, though Shi Nuan preferred simplicity, and ultimately chose one without any design, saying, "This one!"
Song Yansheng’s eyes remained calm, as if he’d anticipated Shi Nuan’s choice.
He had already selected the ring sizes, and once the choice was made, the clerk invited them to rest on the sofa for a while.
Shi Nuan wondered why, with the ring purchased, they didn’t leave right away, but she didn’t think much of it and sat down to have a cup of tea with Song Yansheng.
During this time, the clerks and manager wisely avoided disturbing them, affording them a rare moment of peace.
Soon, the clerk brought the rings over, as they were wedding rings, inevitably including both male and female designs.
Song Yansheng took them, extracting the female ring, and held Shi Nuan’s left hand, kissing her finger.
Shi Nuan instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but he softly murmured, "Don’t move..."
Shi Nuan paused, and that cool ring was already slipped on her finger.
It fit perfectly, covering the pale mark on her left ring finger.
"Good Nuannuan, promise me, no matter what happens, don’t take it off..."
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, and she gently nodded, "Okay..."
