“A keepsake? What engagement keepsake?” Yi Long blinked in surprise. He clearly did not remember what he had given the Wen family more than twenty years ago.
Wen Xiang took out the box in embarrassment and held out the ring in front of him. “This is it! My father even said that it wasn’t easy for you to get this ring, so he specially gave it to me and asked me to keep it well and not lose it.”
As she spoke, Wen Xiang choked and said, “Uncle, I couldn’t bear to wear this ring all these years because I wanted to wait for Brother Yi Zheng to put it on for me personally!”
She said it pitifully. She thought that she would be able to exchange for Yi Long’s promise. Unexpectedly, he clapped his hands and snatched the ring back from her hand in shock. He widened his eyes and said angrily, “I was wondering why I couldn’t find this ring. It turns out that I was fooled by your father!”
Shi Man and Yi Zheng looked at each other and saw confusion in each other’s eyes.
Shi Man frowned and asked in confusion, “Uncle Yi, what’s going on?”
Yi Long sighed and walked to the sofa to sit down. She put the ring in her pocket and said, “This is really just a misunderstanding. Back then, your Auntie Lu and I quarreled over a small matter. She refused to talk to me and even ran back to her family. I could only pick her up personally…”
It was raining heavily outside, but Yi Long still had to drive personally and shamelessly go to hiswife’s family to pick her up.
In that season, it rained a lot in M City. It would rain for several days in a row. Sometimes, even the road would be submerged. The car could only drive slowly on the water, or it would cause mud would splash everywhere.
Yi Long hated rainy weather the most, but he did not hate this city with his wife. He drove alone and was stopped by a car outside the villa area.
It was raining heavily outside, so it was not appropriate for Yi Long to get out of the car and ask. He could only honk the car horn to remind the other party to make way.
Unexpectedly, not only did the car not give way, but it also drove forward for a distance and completely blocked in front of him.
Yi Long immediately realized that this person did it on purpose. Just as he was hesitating if he should get out of the car, his phone suddenly rang.
Yi Long picked up the phone in frustration, but he heard a familiar voice.
“Brother-in-law, why don’t you recognize my car?”
Yi Long was stunned for a moment before he realized who was sitting in the car in front of him. The gloominess on her face disappeared. “So it’s Wen Chen. Why did you go out in such heavy rain?”
“I’m going out for something. Come to my house to drink. My sister went to play cards with Xiao Jing and the others. She’s not here now. It’s too dangerous for you to drive over now.” After saying that, Wen Chen even knocked on the car window.
The window only fell slightly, and immediately, large raindrops floated in, drenching half of his clothes. He hurriedly gestured to the mechanism window. “Brother-in-law, see clearly? It’s really me. Come with me! Anyway, you won’t be able to see my sister today!”
“Alright then!” It was indeed dangerous to drive in such heavy rain. The rain was too heavy and it was easy to not see the road clearly. If there was a traffic accident, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Therefore, Yi Long did not hesitate. He followed behind Wen Chen’s car his house.
He and Lu Xiang were not biological siblings, but they were old friends. Their families were close, and Lu Xiang had always treated Wen Chen as her younger brother.
Yi Long naturally treated him as family. He entered, changed his shoes, and took off his wet coat. Then, he sat on the sofa and smiled awkwardly. “I’m really sorry to disturb Sister-in-law. I should have called in advance to see you.”
“It’s fine. Don’t worry about these details. I know about you and my sister. It’s only right for you to see my sister first.” Wen Chen personally poured a cup of hot tea for Yi Long to ward off the cold. He smiled and said, “But Brother-in-law, it’s not easy for you to have time to come back. We have to drink to our heart’s content today!”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you. As long as Sister-in-law doesn’t mind the two of us drunkards.” Yi Long smiled and looked at Wen Chen’s wife’s bulging stomach. She asked with concern, “She’s about to give birth, right?”
“Soon. Let’s not talk about this. How’s your kid now?” Wen Chen stared at Yi Long eagerly, clearly having other intentions.
Yi Long answered truthfully. At the mention of his son, his eyes were filled with pride.
The two of them chatted happily and drank a lot. Only when they were both drunk did Wen Chen put his arm around Yi Long’s shoulder and say, “Let me tell you, I did a check. My daughter is a precious daughter!”
Yi Long responded in a daze and leaned against the sofa without moving.
Wen Chen smiled and patted his shoulder. “Let my daughter and your son be engaged. In the future, our families can be closer. Don’t you think so, Brother-in-law?”
Yi Long had long been drunk until he fainted. However, when he heard the words “child betrothal”, he still moved his fingers and reacted..
