A ring

  "Mr. Shen, are you proposing to me? Sorry, I'm not of legal marriage age yet." Tang Jiji smiled lightly, but her hands in the quilt couldn't stop trembling uncontrollably.

  "Perhaps you can understand it this way." Shen Nanxiao couldn't help but look at her directly, "So, Miss Tang, I'm proposing to you, are you willing?"

  So, Miss Tang, I'm asking you to marry me, will you?

  It's as if being in a deep abyss where countless huge echoes resound, that gentle voice repeatedly proclaiming this beautiful declaration, and suddenly, all things come to a standstill, frozen in time.

  Tang Jiji merely blinked it away, thinking it was an absurd and fragile illusion. The words that Shen Nanxiao's slightly parted thin lips had just spoken made Tang Jiji incredulous, even finding it ridiculous. Was this a joke? It wouldn't be for no reason...

  Tang Ji calmed down his wildly racing heart, sat up straight, stretched out his hand in front of Shen Nan and said with a flourish: "Huh... where's the engagement ring? Your family is so wealthy, surely you can't even produce a ring?"

  Shen Nan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "You're really here?"

  "...nonsense." She bet he wouldn't be able to pull out a ring right now!

  The next second, Shen Nan went down on one knee and took out a diamond ring from his body with one hand. Tang Ji Ji's eyes widened as she stared at the diamond ring shining with a dazzling but empty light, and she mechanically reached out to take it.

  She really underestimated him...

  The cool touch of the diamond ring invaded her fingertips, and the dazzling light was piercing. Tang Jiji gently put it on her middle finger, but took it off again in the next second. She raised her head to look straight at Shen Nanxiao, under his puzzled gaze, she said softly:

  "...I still can't forget my first love."

  Shen Nan's face stiffened slightly, but he lightly hooked up the corner of his mouth: "But he still broke up with you, okay, don't make a fuss. I know you have no reason to refuse me." He stretched out his hand and habitually gently stroked her messy hair.

  "Hey... stop messing around. It's no fun playing like this, you know? Here, take it back." Tang Jiji discontentedly tossed the diamond ring at Shen Nanxiao, but Shen Nanxiao instead caught the ring and grasped it in her palm.

  He said to her in a tone that brooked no refusal, "Tang Jiji, it's yours. Even if you don't acknowledge your relationship with it now, there will come a day when you will."

  Tang Jiji was amused by Shen Nan's appearance, and she smiled: "Good, I'll wait." She held it in the palm of her hand, but when she opened her hand, it accidentally slipped to the ground, making a crisp sound.

  She subconsciously jumped down from the bed to pick it up, only to find that her legs were almost powerless and she sat on the ground, but finally fell into Shen Nan's arms.

  He wrapped his arms around Tang Jiji from behind, holding her firmly in his warm embrace. To prevent her body from getting cold, she was almost sitting on his legs, forming an ambiguous and unusual posture.

  "Shen Nan, where is the ring?"

  But Tang Jiji's heart was only on that diamond ring worth millions, she turned her head and suddenly realized that the distance between her face and his was only a few centimeters, their breathing was high and low, Shen Nan saw in her eyes a few points of confusion and infatuation in this ambiguous atmosphere.

  Shen Nan sneered and laughed: "So it turns out you're more concerned about the ring."

  Tang Jiji's face turned red with shame: "Because it is more expensive."

  "Is it?" Shen Nan didn't say anything more, and smiled slightly: "I'll give you the ring, stretch out your hand."

  "Mm." Táng Jìjì obediently stretched out her hands, and Shěn Nánzhèng placed the ring in her palm. The next second, he grasped her hands with one hand, while the other hand gently caressed her face, slyly curling his lips:

  "Tang Ji, I don't want to be a gentleman anymore, I've wanted to kiss you for a long time."

  Without giving her time to think, a torrent of kisses rained down on her lips, from light and casual to deep and passionate. Was it the surge of hormones or the mischief of ambiguity?

  Shen Nan finally tasted the long-lost sweetness...

  Everything was developing and proceeding too quickly, without any thinking, and Tong Jiji only stared at his face with a look of horror. In the corner of her eye, she caught sight of someone standing by the slightly ajar door.

  I'm afraid I've been standing there for a long time, and all of this isn't entirely unexpected! Tang Jiji hastily pushed Shen Nanxiao away in her flustered state, then looked at the person by the door and stuttered out a sentence:

  "Shen... Mrs. Shen."
