Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wen Yanqing didn’t go to the office. He returned home and put the warm jade into the safe. He then picked up a jewelry box from the innermost corner.
He lowered his eyes and opened it, caressing the diamond that was brilliantly reflecting light.
Closely bound; together for life.
All the beautiful words moved him.
He really wanted to be with her forever, but he was afraid of hearing her reject him.
In the past, when he was rejected, his heart would be pierced. It would be fine if it formed a scar because it had never been in his possession.
He was afraid that if he spoke rashly, she would leave. He was afraid that she would shy away. He was afraid that the warmth he had finally obtained would disappear.
He was afraid that it would be like the last time he said to her ‘let me give you a ring’, and she replied ‘I don’t like to wear rings’.
He was afraid that if he said ‘marry me’, she would frown and say ‘I’m sorry, I need time to think about it’.
He wanted to try, but he knew he couldn’t afford to lose.
Wen Yanqing pursed his lips tightly, struggling, anticipating, longing, and feeling uneasy.
His phone rang. It was Yi Qian, urging him to return to the office for a meeting.
Wen Yanqing eventually put the ring into his pocket.
The meeting lasted for two hours. Not long after they came out of the meeting room, Wen Yanqing received a call from Shi Jun, who said that he was at the first floor of Shengfang. He joked that he wouldn’t be able to see President Wen without an appointment.
Wen Yanqing asked Yi Qian to go down to bring him in.
Shi Jun had changed his previous appearance. He wore the sportswear he most disliked, had a buzz cut, and wore a pair of sneakers instead of leather shoes.
Wen Yanqing was surprised to see him dressed this way.
“I’m preparing to go on a trip. I’ll be away for a while, so I came to bid farewell to you.” Shi Jun sat on the sofa.
“By yourself?” Wen Yanqing asked.
“Yeah, walking around by myself.” Shi Jun said, “I’ve arranged everything for my mum. The great rivers and mountains – I’ve lived for so many years but I haven’t seen them properly.”
“You’re not going to bother about your company anymore?”
Shi Jun’s lips twitched. “I’ve already handed things over to the others. So what if I manage it well? It’s meaningless. Don’t live in vain in the end.”
“You suddenly look like you’ve seen through life and seen through the world of mortals. I almost thought you wanted to become a monk,” Wen Yanqing said.
“I’m just relaxing.” Shi Jun said, “I’ll be leaving soon. I saw that you were busy with Lin Gantang a few days ago, so I didn’t ask you out. It’s not too late to come over now to let you know. How is it? Is Gantang’s injury better?”
“Much better. She was discharged today,” Wen Yanqing said.
“Look at your frown. Did the company encounter some troublesome matter?” Shi Jun asked with concern.
“It’s a private matter.” Wen Yanqing shook his head.
“Aren’t you and Gantang doing well?” Shi Jun asked. Personal matters? It was too easy to guess. Wen Yanqing’s private affairs were always related to Lin Gantang.
Wen Yanqing thought for a moment. His eyes dimmed slightly. Finally, he said, “I want to propose to her.”
“So fast?” Shi Jun paused and changed his words. “I mean, you guys have been together for a long time. I meant that it’s so sudden?”
Wen Yanqing looked at him.
Shi Jun shrugged. “You said it yourself before. You’ll live together for a while and propose when you’re confident.”
“Yes.”
“What does that mean?” Shi Jun said, “I think you can propose if you want to. If you can’t do it, get engaged first. I don’t think she’ll reject you.
“Why don’t I give her a call and test the waters; ask her if she wants to marry you?” Shi Jun suddenly joked.
Wen Yanqing burst out laughing. He recalled the situation where Lin Gantang agreed to be his girlfriend. It was all thanks to this good friend’s tricks.
“Proposing is different.” Wen Yanqing touched the ring in his pocket, and even his gaze became gentle.
He hoped that she was willing to wear the ring because of him and him alone..
