"Help me think of a gift for a man."
Bi Shuang knew that Ding Ruola, who was so calculating, couldn't be so generous in treating her to ice cream for no reason.
"Clean yourself up and offer yourself to him in bed!"
Ding Ruola's face flushed instantly. Bi Shuang always managed to talk about such embarrassing topics so casually.
"Anything but that!"
Bi Shuang tossed the wrapper of her ice - cream cone into the trash can and spread her hands.
"Nothing else!"
It wasn't that she had no ideas. It was just that her ice cream was finished, and she didn't feel like sharing her thoughts even if she had any.
Who was Ding Ruola? Having spent so much time with Bi Shuang, she knew exactly what kind of person this woman was.
"I'll treat you to a nice meal!"
It was only when they sat down at the dinner table that Bi Shuang's mind became full of ideas.
Buying a watch? Fang Siyan already had one.
Buying a high - configuration computer? Fang Siyan didn't play games, so a high - end computer would be useless.
Bi Shuang was at her wit's end. She had listed all the things she could think of that Ding Ruola could afford.
"Maybe I'll knit a scarf."
Ding Ruola's idea was truly out of the ordinary. Bi Shuang stopped eating her ice cream, put her hand on Ding Ruola's forehead, and said, "What's wrong with you, girl? Are you running a fever?"
It was almost summer, so why was she thinking about knitting a scarf for someone?
Ding Ruola explained that she was preparing early. She was really bad at handicrafts, and this was for the coming winter.
"Your thought is good, but the scarf would be too ugly. Just forget it!"
Bi Shuang could already imagine Fang Siyan wearing that poorly - made scarf, and it was so comical.
"You'll lower Professor Fang's level!"
Ding Ruola smacked her lips. Was this still her good sister? She thought her handicraft skills weren't that bad!
Bi Shuang looked at the empty ice - cream cup, propped her chin on her hand, rolled her eyes, and looked up at the photo hanging in a corner of the ceiling.
Suddenly, she remembered that Fang Siyan and Ding Ruola didn't have a proposal ceremony. Although such a ceremony might not be necessary for them now, since there was no other good gift, why not buy a pair of engagement rings and propose?
"You mean I should propose?"
Ding Ruola was a bit timid. She had taken the initiative so many times.
She suddenly felt that her initiative seemed so cheap.
However, despite her reluctance, she couldn't think of a more meaningful gift. In the end, she chose Bi Shuang's suggestion.
Ding Ruola wasn't very knowledgeable about jewelry. If she asked Su Man, that girl would surely ask a thousand and one questions, and her relationship with Fang Siyan would be exposed.
So Ding Ruola had to turn to Mei Xuejian for help.
"For men, diamonds are meaningless, gold is too tacky, and platinum is a good choice. You can consider platinum."
Ding Ruola went to a jewelry store and, recommended by the clerk, chose the simplest style.
A simple ring became meaningful because of the people involved.
"Doesn't it seem to be missing something?"
Mei Xuejian looked at the ring box on Ding Ruola's table.
Red wine, steak, ballroom dancing, and then present the ring.
He was talking about the arrangement while Ding Ruola quickly took notes with a pen and paper.
"Let's skip the ballroom dancing. I've forgotten how to do it."
Hearing that Ding Ruola didn't know ballroom dancing, Mei Xuejian volunteered. Such a task naturally involved him.
Ding Ruola was so busy preparing the gift for Fang Siyan that she completely forgot about the owner of the gift himself.
To come up with a proposal plan that would move Fang Siyan to tears, she wracked her brains. Almost every night after dinner, she locked herself in the room and studied what to say during the proposal.
Ding Ruola was really unlucky. Coincidentally, Fang Siyan caught her learning ballroom dancing with Mei Xuejian.
Mei Xuejian was really a good teacher, but Ding Ruola stepped on his feet almost as many times as she took steps.
Fortunately, Ding Ruola was light. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a single intact bone in Mei Xuejian's feet.
One day, Fang Siyan finally couldn't stand Ding Ruola's coldness anymore and decided to go to her company to find her.
As soon as he climbed the stairs, he heard the elegant waltz echoing throughout the floor.
Fang Siyan thought Ding Ruola was promoting some company culture, but when he reached the door, he saw his woman in another man's arms.
The way this man looked at Ding Ruola was not simple.
Rage welled up in his stomach and burned all the way to his heart. He took a long breath to calm himself down.
"Ding Ruola!"
Ding Ruola had her back to Fang Siyan. Mei Xuejian saw Fang Siyan. He was provoking him. He smiled and stared back at Fang Siyan.
The girl didn't notice the confrontation between the two men until she heard Fang Siyan calling her name.
She let go of Mei Xuejian's hand and turned around abruptly.
Mei Xuejian naturally wouldn't stay by Ding Ruola's side anymore. He walked over and turned off the music.
"A surprise for you!"
He was deliberately trying to anger Fang Siyan. His ambiguous words only added fuel to the fire.
Before Ding Ruola could say anything, she was dragged away by Fang Siyan.
When they reached the car, just as Ding Ruola put her hand on the car door handle, Fang Siyan grabbed her and spun her around forcefully.
Face to face, Fang Siyan kissed Ding Ruola on the lips.
This kiss was not tender but more like a form of revenge.
Ding Ruola managed to pull out her arm that was trapped between her body and the car. With great difficulty, she reached her arm between them and pushed Fang Siyan with all her might.
"It's not what you think!"
"Then what could it be? I saw it with my own eyes. What else do you want me to believe?"
Fang Siyan had always been worried that his treasure might be taken away, but he had never seen Ding Ruola in another man's arms, being so intimate with another man.
Seeing this today, he was really enraged and almost fainted.
"Let me go first!"
Ding Ruola didn't know what she had done wrong, but her voice was still a bit weak.
Fang Siyan didn't let go immediately. He waited until his emotions calmed down a bit before slowly releasing her hand.
Since the day she bought them, Ding Ruola had never let the pair of rings out of her sight.
She took out the rings from her pocket.
"Lao Fang! I was planning to have red wine with you, dance ballroom dancing, and then propose to you."
Fang Siyan was stunned. So all this time, Ding Ruola had been acting furtively just to prepare for this.
"Not necessary!"
These three words broke Ding Ruola's heart.
Her pitiful love and self - esteem were shattered by these three words.
She threw the rings in her hand away, pushed Fang Siyan, and ran towards the road.
It was past ten o'clock at night, and there were still a lot of cars on the road.
Fang Siyan chased after Ding Ruola.
Suddenly, he saw a flash before his eyes, heard a screeching of brakes, and Ding Ruola fell on the road!
At that moment, Fang Siyan felt as if there was a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
His mind was buzzing and empty. He felt like a walking corpse.
