Red Bean started to claw to a different spot. It was leaning on the car window next to it when it flipped its two front paws to the dashboard in front instead. Its big, doe-like eyes never left the luxurious car before theirs.
Bo Jinyan picked up speed with his brow raised. As he caught up to the vehicle in front, the creature finally quietened down and its eyes started glinting.
The manâs face broke into a smile. The only reason the dog was this excited was that its favorite person was inside that car.
There was no need to elaborate on who that person was.
What a coincidence! Surely, they were fated to meet again under these circumstances.
He ensured that he was following the car closely throughout the journey. Whenever the distance between them widened, Red Bean would break into a series of disgruntled barks.
The vehicle in front of them stopped at a jewelry shop in the end. This store sold rings.
As the man gradually pulled up next to the store, his gaze followed the couple sauntering into the shop hand-in-hand.
The dog became agitated again when it saw Ye Erruo walking away.
âShut up!â Bo Jinyan scolded the creature, giving it a dirty look at the same time.
PONG! He slammed the car door shut after alighting, leaving the poor creature alone inside the vehicle as he strode into the store.
The dog could only give its owner a forlorn look.
...
Inside the jewelry shop...
Mo Jiangye took the ring from the display cabinet and put it on Ye Erruoâs finger.
The ring was breathtaking indeed!
The jewelry seemed to be set with numerous pieces of random diamonds that sparkled with iridescence. Beside her, the man was wearing a similar ring.
âDid you custom-make this pair of rings?â she asked.
âYes,â he answered as he caressed her petite, tender hand.
âDo you like it?â
âYes! Itâs beautiful.â The woman replied with a smile and raised her hand toward the spotlight above.
At that moment, the ring caught the light beams coming from above and its color began to change from a pale off-white hue to a baby pink shade...
She retrieved her hand hastily. âIsnât this a diamond ring?â
The man smiled and rubbed the ring with his coarse thumb. âNo, it isnât. These random diamond-like pieces are actually âlittle night pearlsâ. There are 999 âlittle night pearlsâ set on this ring. These pearls will change color when light hits them from different angles. It can change into seven different colors altogether, just like a rainbow!â
As he explained, he took out a magnifying glass and placed it over the ring. Dazzling pinkish shades instantly appeared before her eyes.
âIt becomes even more beautiful at night,â he whispered softly into her ear.
âThe most beautiful sky and the best rainbow in this world belong to you! You, Ye Erruo, belong to me. Whatever you ask for, be it the stars, the moon, or anything that flies in the sky or walks on earth, Iâll give it to you! Whatever I have is yours, including my body, heart, and soul! Weâll walk to the end of the earth!â
As his burning gaze was fixed on her captivating face, he declared his love passionately again. âI ask that you entrust your life to me without reservation. Youâll be the most regal queen, the most indulgent princess, and the happiest wife on this earth!â
The woman felt giddy with love from his pompous proclamation. Sizzling, hot tears welled up in her eyes, but before she could say a word, the man cut in and declared solemnly again, âMiss Ye Erruo, please entrust the rest of your life to me. Iâm your husband, Mo Jiangye!â
His warm, moist breath fell next to her ear as he added, âIf you donât, then Iâll have to snatch you for myself! You are mine for all eternity after putting on this ring. If you let me down, Iâll make you pay 100,000 times!â
She asked hoarsely, âAnd what kind of punishment would I get?â
âYouâd never have the chance to climb off the bed.â
