Xiang Yutang leaned in his arms, deeply touched. Zhu Zhengchu watched her shed tears. He felt both heartache and fear that she might misunderstand him further.
After holding it in for a long time, he explained, "I just thought this ring was quite nice. We can wear it when we go out and play in the future." He hoped Xiang Yutang would understand it as an ornament rather than a symbol of the bondage of love.
But Xiang Yutang obviously had already taken it as a symbol of the bondage of love. She held it in her hand like a precious treasure.
Zhu Zhengchu felt extremely remorseful for the first time.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Look at you, crying like this just because of a ring. Quickly wipe your tears. We'll go out for training after we finish eating."
Xiang Yutang nodded and looked up at him happily, saying, "I love you!" She had always been too shy to say this before, but it was this ring that gave her the courage today.
Zhu Zhengchu choked for a moment and nodded, "I love you too."
When Xiao Lin came back, Xiang Yutang was leaning in Zhu Zhengchu's arms with a happy face. Before Xiao Lin could open his mouth to congratulate them, he was scared by Zhu Zhengchu's terrifying look. What on earth was going on? Why wasn't he happy even though the proposal was successful? Was it because of excessive joy?
"Brother Zhu, your breakfast is here."
Zhu Zhengchu gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Lin, I'll have something to talk to you about later. Don't run around."
Xiao Lin felt a bit scared. Why did this tone sound so strange?
But Xiang Yutang didn't find it strange. After having breakfast sweetly with Zhu Zhengchu, she went back to her former room first. It was most important to put the precious ring away!
Zhu Zhengchu seized the opportunity and scolded Xiao Lin angrily, "Damn it! Are you out of your mind? I asked you to get the gift. How could you take out the ring I prepared for my parents!"
Xiao Lin looked completely confused. "Didn't you say it was in the bag at that time? I only saw the ring in the bag."
Zhu Zhengchu rummaged out the necklace box. "Then look at this. What is this?!"
Xiao Lin was stunned himself and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Brother Zhu, what should we do now? Has sister - in - law already misunderstood?" Xiao Lin looked scared.
Zhu Zhengchu pinched the bridge of his nose. It was useless to say so much now.
"Go and order a pair of the same rings for my parents right away. It doesn't matter how much more it costs, but I must get them in three days!" Not to mention anything else, his parents' wedding anniversary was coming up. The gift must not be absent.
Xiao Lin looked embarrassed. "What about you and sister - in - law? It seems that sister - in - law has misunderstood..."
"What else can I do! She was already crying over the ring. Can I tell her not to be so self - indulgent and that it wasn't for her?" Zhu Zhengchu roared.
Xiao Lin shivered and didn't dare to stay in front of him any longer. He turned around and ran out to order the rings.
Xiang Yutang took the ring back to the dormitory. Zhuo Ziyu was about to go to the training room. She was stunned when she saw her. "Yutang? Why are you back? Did you forget to get something?"
Xiang Yutang pulled her into the dormitory mysteriously. Zhuo Ziyu was worried. "What's wrong?" Could it be that she had quarreled with Zhu Zhengchu?
Xiang Yutang took out the ring box with an excited and shy smile on her face. "Look! This is the gift he prepared for me just now!"
Zhuo Ziyu was stunned for a moment and opened it in disbelief. A ring?! Zhu Zhengchu had prepared a ring for Xiang Yutang?!
"Is... Is he proposing to you?" Zhuo Ziyu couldn't believe it. Was Zhu Zhengchu really serious?
Xiang Yutang said shyly, "Normally, isn't it only when someone proposes that they give a ring? I can't believe it either!"
For some reason, Zhuo Ziyu always felt that something was wrong. But seeing how happy Xiang Yutang was, she didn't want to say anything to spoil the mood. She might as well just assume that Zhu Zhengchu really liked Xiang Yutang.
"The ring looks really nice. You're so happy."
Xiang Yutang was a bit embarrassed. "I couldn't hold back and cried just now."
Zhuo Ziyu forced a smile and took the ring box. "Can I take a look?"
"Sure, sure." Xiang Yutang thought she wanted to look at the ring, but Zhuo Ziyu was looking at the trademark on the box.
There was no indication of which store it was from, but the packaging box was very unique. She should be able to find the store according to the packaging box. Then she could go and check whether Zhu Zhengchu had bought it specifically.
"Tangtang, this thing is very valuable. Let me keep an eye on it for you, okay?" Zhuo Ziyu was afraid that she would forget after looking at it.
Xiang Yutang nodded. "Sure, sure. I was also afraid of losing it. You take good care of it! Don't lose it!"
"I definitely won't lose it." Zhuo Ziyu locked the ring in the suitcase and then pulled Xiang Yutang out.
"Let's go! Let's go for training together!"
"Okay!"
Because of the ring, Xiang Yutang was in an extremely good mood all day today. She had a beautiful smile on her face and greeted everyone who passed by.
"Yutang, why are you so happy? Is there something good?"
Xiang Yutang just smiled and didn't say a word. It was really hard not to be able to share it with others.
Zhu Zhengchu was a bit absent - minded all day today.
Zhuo Ziyu was also preoccupied all day, always thinking about the ring in the suitcase.
"Ziyu, what's wrong with you?" Ying Zikui noticed that she seemed to have something on her mind and was a bit worried about her.
Zhuo Ziyu looked at the time and waved to him. "Come with me for a while."
Ying Zikui followed her back to the dormitory. "What's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Zhuo Ziyu opened the suitcase and took out the ring box. Ying Zikui suddenly looked shy. "Oh, you naughty thing. We're not even in a boyfriend - girlfriend relationship yet. Are you going to propose to me?"
Zhuo Ziyu:...
"Disgusting. Such things should be initiated by boys! Ziyu, actually I..."
Before Ying Zikui could finish his words, Zhuo Ziyu knocked on his head.
"Can you be normal? This is not what you think."
Ying Zikui pouted. "Then what is it?"
"Zhu Zhengchu just gave it to Tangtang."
Ying Zikui raised his eyebrows. "Given by Zhu Zhengchu?" Didn't that man claim that love was just love and had nothing to do with marriage? Why would he give a ring to Xiang Yutang?
"You also think it's very strange, right? Look at this packaging. Do you know which store it's from?"
Ying Zikui had a mobile phone on him. He took it out and searched. "Wow, it's quite a big deal. This pair costs one million."
Zhuo Ziyu pursed her lips. "Alright. Take a picture of the ring. Go and ask around tonight to see if you can find out something."
"What are you worried about?"
"I don't know why, but I always feel that things are not that simple. If Zhu Zhengchu really likes Tangtang so much, it would of course be a good thing. I'm just afraid that's not the case."
