Qin Mu didn’t know why, perhaps it was too quiet in the room, so she chatted with Xiaoi so emotionally.
Hearing this, Xiaoi’s eyes turned a bit red; she thought Qin Mu wouldn’t understand.
Qin Mu held a cake in one hand and gently held Xiaoi’s hand with the other: "As long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will always protect you. Even though I’m only a few months older, I’ll be a good big sister. If Zhao Huai bullies you in the future, as your sister, I won’t let him off the hook together with your brother-in-law."
Xiaoi’s eyes suddenly turned even redder, and so things uncontrollably welled up in them.
"You’re so annoying, why say such things out of the blue?"
Xiaoi leaned on her shoulder and couldn’t help but wrap her arms around Qin Mu’s slender arm.
Qin Mu looked down at her without saying anything more and just continued eating the cake.
Suddenly, it felt as if this wasn’t a simple piece of cake. As she was almost finished, she suddenly rembered that Xiaoi hadn’t had any, so she asked, "Do you want a bite?"
Seeing the little bit of cake left, Xiaoi pressed against her shoulder and laughed, and Qin Mu laughed too.

In the afternoon, the weather gradually cleared up.
An Nan went to the jewelry counter alone and carefree.
Liu Ruoying’s old songs were playing in the mall, making the bustling sounds of people seem much quieter. The clerk at the counter asked her if she needed any help.
"Yes! I want a pair of couple rings, sothing simple!"
An Nan’s voice was almost inaudible.
The clerk nodded and then led her to another side to help her pick out a pair.
"This is a new release for this year, designed by our designer especially for young couples. It’s very simple and elegant, and the aning is also very good."
An Nan didn’t say anything, just picked up the won’s ring and tried it on, then picked up the n’s ring to take a look once she felt satisfied.
There wasn’t much difference from ordinary rings, but that didn’t seem to matter. What mattered was simplicity, not interfering with work, and it seed fine.
It felt like a journey she needed to embark on by herself. She quietly listened to the clerk’s explanation and then carefully observed the letters engraved inside the ring.
Perhaps it was all destined. After discovering in the morning that her period had been absent for three days, she stayed at ho until right before heading out.
And then she ended up here directly.
Choose a pair of rings, then leave.
Maybe never again could she do whatever she pleased alone.
Maybe never again could she be so persistent about one thing.
Maybe never again could she be fearless.
But she was about to embrace her new life, her new journey.
An Nan didn’t want a large packaging box. She directly wrapped the two rings in a small Crystal Box and then placed it in her spacious bag.
In the evening, she prepared a candlelit dinner alone at ho, then quietly sat at the dining table waiting for Jiang Zhiyuan to appear.
Jiang Zhiyuan almost always ca back early in the evening, so she didn’t call, thinking that he would be pleasantly surprised to see all this when he returned.
She clasped her hands together, her gaze soft, looking at the two Crystal Boxes beside the wine glass, one of which was already empty, the ring was on her finger, while the other ring was still lying comfortably in the Crystal Box.
Who says it must be the man proposing to the woman?
She was determined to propose to Jiang Zhiyuan.
She felt in her heart that she owed this to him; last ti when he proposed and got rejected, she thought she must give him a morable proposal in the future.
Although there were no close friends present, she preferred it just the two of them, face to face, followed by a romantic confession.
She silently pondered over the words she was going to say to him, words buried in her heart for God knows how long.
So people spend their whole lives seeking that kind of true love that aligns both body and soul.
So find it while they’re young, and so feel even with silver hair after several relationships that they’ve never truly achieved what they desired in love.
An Nan felt she was lucky to have t Jiang Zhiyuan when she was young, the young master who appeared sowhat irresponsible and wild, Jiang Zhiyuan.
Her father said Jiang Zhiyuan wasn’t suitable for her, her father thought how could a boy with no sense of responsibility match his outstanding daughter?
But she just loved him, and all the things he’s done for her lately made her even more determined about what she was going to do tonight.
However, from 7:30 to 8, and from 8 to 8:30, her original poise and composure were slowly worn away.
