It was destined.
This word suddenly appeared in Nan Ge’s mind.
She watched as he raised the ring. Under the flickering light, the diamond embedded in the ring refracted a dazzling light.
She had never heard of this ring appearing in any recent auctions. However, the diamond on it...
One had indeed appeared at the London auction.
In other words, Shen Yanqing had bought a diamond from an auction. After receiving it, he asked someone to design the ring and specially used it to propose to her.
Even though time was tight, he had no intention of patronizing her.
He was very attentive to every detail.
For example, the penguin enclosure here and the roses on the ground.
And this diamond ring.
Nan Ge did not know when he had the idea of proposing, nor did she know when he started preparing.
However, he had locked himself in the study room every night for the past few days. Also, he was often in deep thought. At this moment, she suddenly had an answer.
Shen Yanqing’s chest heaved as he cleared his throat. The hot breath he exhaled instantly turned into vapor. He was wearing a custom-made suit.
When he raised his head slightly, Nan Ge could see his tie under the light from the side.
The color combination... was so familiar.
In a daze, she recalled the wrong ties they took from each other when they first met.
It was the colorful tie that originally belonged to Nan Zhe.
From that moment on, he had been exceptionally indulgent towards her.
She could not imagine what he would look like wearing this tie, and she simply could not visualize anything. However, he said that if there was a chance in the future, he would wear it for her alone to see it.
He remembered everything.
At some point, music flowed slowly around her. This time, Nan Ge was not distracted. From the beginning to the end, she lowered her head and held the bouquet of roses that was half her height as she stared at Shen Yanqing.
She Imew that he had something else to say.
The weather today was not good, but Nan Ge did not force him to get up again.
Shen Yanqing was probably organizing his words. His black eyes under his glasses flickered and locked onto her.
“All these years, I’ve heard what the people around me have said about me.”
It was rumored that although Shen Yanqing looked approachable, there seemed to be a natural barrier between him and everyone.
Many people were coming and going around him, but from the beginning to the end, he was alone.
“Actually, they’re right. I’m not as innocent and friendly as I look.”
“Because I’ve never been a very secure person.”
“My territory is barren and empty. As far as the eye can see, I can only see myself most of the time. ”
“However, there is something that no one knows.”
The corners of his lips curled up as he looked at her with a smile. He called her name with a loving voice.
“Many times when I was in distress, all alone and looking into the distance, you appeared in my sight and barged into this territory with great fanfare.”
“It was you who tore apart the black and white silent images running through my eyes that winter.”
“After one confrontation after another, I was willing to submit to you.” “You are the first and only ‘aggressor’ to appear in this territory.”
“In the present and in the future, this territory will always belong to you, and only you.”
“And I, Shen Yanqing, will always be your spoils of war.”
Nan Ge did not know how to reconcile what had happened that night.
She did not know where her family and friends came from. At that time, her head was still dizzy and she was immersed in Shen Yanqing’s words. The things he described seemed to automatically generate images in her mind.
In the empty night, he sat alone. Under the moonlight, she looked at him from afar.
When he saw her, he was slightly surprised at first. Then, he smiled and reached out to her.
Actually, they had never fought each other.
Because from the moment they first met, he had already surrendered.
Amidst the commotion, she reached out to him.
He lowered his head, took the ring, and held it tightly in his hand. When there was a trace of warmth in the ring, he slowly put it on her.
The ring passed through her index finger and was gently pushed in.
This year’s birthday was destined to be extraordinary.
After the proposal, everyone went to a nearby hotel to celebrate her birthday.
It was all affangea by shen yanqmg.
However, she was in a daze the entire time.
When everything ended, it was already very late. Everyone returned to the hotel to rest.
Shen Yanqing asked her if she wanted to rest. She shook her head.
“I don’t want to be here... Let’s go back.”
She did not want to stay outside today.
It took an hour and a half to drive from here to Shen Yanqing’s previous residence.
Shen Yanqing looked at the time and hesitated for a moment before asking her if she wanted to go to his other residence to rest for the night.
It was a villa nearby. He had never brought Nan Ge there before.
Nan Ge seemed to have lost her ability to think. She did not hear what he was saying and only nodded.
Usually, someone would clean this villa regularly. As it was quite far from the company, Shen Yanqing did not come here often.
Before he met Nan Ge, he would come here to rest on the weekends.
The environment here was better and quieter.
Every time he came here, he would dismiss the servants.
He sat alone in the courtyard for a day. It was quiet, and no one spoke to him.
But this time was different.
In front of the fireplace, Nan Ge was kneeling on the ground. While Shen Yanqing was pouring water for her, she looked down and stole another glance at the ring on her finger.
She reached out and touched it, but it still felt unreal.
Soon, Shen Yanqing returned.
The corners of his lips had remained curled up all night. People could sense it when he was eating with everyone tonight.
She looked up at him and her gaze landed on the man’s tie. Her gaze finally focused.
“Aren’t you allergic to pollen?”
“It’s fine.” Shen Yanqing slowly bent down and brought the water to her lips.
Nan Ge took a small sip of water.
Then, she shook her head and refused to drink anymore.
Shen Yanqing retracted his hand.
The corners of the little girl’s lips were still wet. When she looked at him, her eyes were also watery.
Intentionally or unintentionally, she was seducing him.
The man was indifferent. As he looked away, his Adam’s apple bobbed. He drank the rest of the water in Nan Gels glass in one go.
The living room was silent.
Nan Ge blinked silently, feeling that she could not waste the good atmosphere tonight.
With this thought in mind, she raised her butt and straightened her body.
“Shen Yanqing.”
Her soft voice sounded like a demon who was coaxing a deity to succumb to her.
“Yes?” He paused and looked up at her.
Nan Ge licked her lips and smiled at him. “Do you want to be an aggressor too?
I can give you a chance today.”
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed his tie, her intentions obvious.
Under his deep and dark gaze, she leaned forward and said suggestively, “You look good in this tie. If you untie it for me, it might look even better..”
