The man's large hand was like the claw of an eagle latching onto its prey . He locked her wrist down and looked at her in the eyes . He moved his other hand towards his pocket when she looked back at him in shock .
Xi Xiaye faintly saw a gentle flow of light passing right in front of her . In the next moment, she noticed that there were two rings gleaming neatly in his palm . Their design seemed special, but there was no doubt they were a pair of wedding rings .
The female variant had the shape of a star on top and was filled with diamonds . While it looked simple, it seemed elegant . The male variant looked similar, but the only difference was that it had no diamonds on it .
He calmly took the female variant and slid it onto Xi Xiaye's ring finger . It fit her perfectly . The faint glimmer made Xi Xiaye's hand seemed even prettier .
A grin appeared on his face . He laughed and looked at Xi Xiaye out of admiration . “It seems that my taste is pretty good . It suits us well! Missus, your hand looks much better with a wedding ring on it . ”
Afterward, he handed the other ring to Xi Xiaye and raised his hand before her . His intent was crystal clear .
Xi Xiaye raised her brows, not taking the ring immediately . Instead, she took her time and studied the ring he put on for her . Her eyes were shining and she pursed her lips when she saw him smile .
“Hmm, the design looks pretty, but the diamond seems a little too small . It might make you look stingy…”
Mu Yuchen paused, then he laughed helplessly . “I thought you didn't like being an upstart? If you want, there are many more rings in Glory World Jewelry City . You can just go and pick one yourself . ”
“It's okay, I don't really like jewelry anyway . I shall leave them for girls who appreciate them, I quite like this myself, I'm satisfied . ”
A wide grin appeared on Xi Xiaye's beautiful face . Her stirred feelings as a result of his sweet gesture were reflected in his eyes . She gently fiddled with the ring on her finger and looked at the flickering glimmer as indescribable feelings rose within her .
Bitterness, grateful, and a gentle warmth…
Actually, this was pretty great . She did not have to think if someone would belong to her . Being together with him like this was something she had hoped for all along, was it not?
After a brief moment of silence, she took the other ring from his palm and slid it onto his ring finger earnestly . She raised her head and looked into his deep, selike eyes .
“No matter what your initial intention was…”
Her eyes were filled with gentleness and appreciation . She slowly lifted her hand with the ring and smiled happily . “Because of that, I'll forever remember this moment . Thank you, Mu Yuchen . ”
What a silly, easily pleased girl!
Mu Yuchen nodded his head lightly, then he patted her head and looked at the ring on his hand . After a while, he said, “Never take it off, alright?”
Xi Xiaye's body trembled as she looked at her hand again before taking a deep breath . “It looks so beautiful that I wouldn't be willing to take it off . ”
“As long as you like it,” Mu Yuchen said gently .
“Did you go to the club today just to get it?” Xi Xiaye finally realized .
“Why else would I have been there? I was still worried that it might not fit you, but it seems like I was overthinking . It suits you very much . ” Mu Yuchen withdrew his hand slowly to admire her ring .
Xi Xiaye smiled happily . “Of course, Su Nan always said that my hands look great and that I have a flair for natural beauty . They pair well with any jewelry . ”
“Natural beauty? You?” Mu Yuchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her questioningly .
“Mmm, me indeed . ” Xi Xiaye nodded with stars shining in her eyes .
“What a rare scene! A foodie realizing her inner potential… Hmm… Okay, stop messing around . The water is still cold . Start boiling the water or we might not get to eat by the time it's midnight…”
“Mu Yuchen?
“Hmm?”
“I'm going to clarify again… I'm not a foodie!”
“However, the facts prove that you are one . It's not a derogatory term, my Missus . ”
A simple dinner of instant noodles was successfully dished up as a result of the couple's efforts . The house was filled with a delicious fragrance when they opened the pot .
Mu Yuchen looked at the pot of mixture before him . He dared to say that this was the simplest and cheapest-looking meal he ever had in the past 31 years of his life!
The woman opposite him was watching him, full of expectations . He felt that it would be a crime if he did not finish the noodles right there and then .
“Why don't you give it a try?” Xi Xiaye suggested quietly as she handed a pair of chopsticks to him . “I think you'll like it . I've tried dinners like this many times before, so I've mastered this dish a long time ago . Trust me… It tastes good…”
Mu Yuchen glanced over at her before taking the chopsticks . He shook his head and chuckled . “Missus, looking at you now reminds me of someone who tried to sell me insurance many years ago…”
