Ruan Qi thought for a few seconds when she heard Song Zhou mention her household register.

“Not today. Next time when I go home, I’ll take my household register with me.”

Song Zhou was finally satisfied. “Are you still feeling sick?”

“Don’t you feel sick?”

Song Zhou coughed lightly and said no.

“I was too hasty last time. I won’t be like that next time.”

Ruan Qi held her forehead. She’d need to think about next time…

Song Zhou gave her a comforting kiss and drove back to the villa.

There was another car behind them. Someone in that car called to report, “Song Zhou went to that woman’s house, but he didn’t get out of the car.”

After a few words, they hung up and continued to follow Song Zhou’s car.

However, Song Zhou did not drive back to the villa. He went to a jewelry store instead and brought Ruan Qi out of the car.

Ruan Qi was a little reluctant; she wanted to go back and rest.

“Where are you taking me now?”

Song Zhou squatted down in front of her. “I’ll piggy-back you to buy a ring. We should get rings before we register our marriage.”

Ruan Qi perked up when she heard that they were buying rings. She didn’t hesitate and hugged his neck as he piggy-backed her into the jewelry store.

The two of them sat down at the counter and picked out rings.

Ruan Qi liked a simple and elegant pair that looked really good. The only downside was… They were too expensive!

A pair of rings for 200,000 yuan!

Song Zhou saw her inner struggle and comforted her with a smile, “I have a friend who knows their boss. Maybe we can get a friends and family discount.” “That would be great!”

Song Zhou saw the anticipation in her eyes and thought that she was indeed Tang Beibei’s best friend. She was also a person who could not bear to spend money.

There must be a reason for this.

Ruan Qi’s parents were divorced. Although she got slightly more allowance than Tang Beibei, it was not much. Her food and clothing expenses were average, and a pair of rings that cost 200,000 yuan was way beyond her budget.

Song Zhou made a phone call, and the staff immediately came over with a smile and said, “We are running a promotion now. Any newlyweds who buy rings today will get a pair of rings for the auspicious amount of 88,888 yuan.”

Ruan Qi felt that this number was quite auspicious and was not too difficult to accept. She nodded in agreement.

The two of them put their rings on, and Song Zhou bought a platinum necklace for Ruan Qi.

“When it’s inconvenient for you to wear a ring when you dance, just put the ring on your necklace. This will be our engagement ring. You mustn’t lose it.”

Ruan Qi stared fondly at the ring on her finger.

“I’ll wear it as long as I’m alive.”

“Bury it with me if I die.”

“What nonsense are you saying? Don’t talk about death at a time like this.”

Song Zhou didn’t like to hear her say such morbid words. “You are going to grow old with me.”

“Yes. And I’ll continue dancing all the way to the international stage. Hahaha!” Ruan Qi burst into laughter as she spoke. The discomfort she felt earlier disappeared. When she walked out of the jewelry store with him, her footsteps were light.

They went shopping, bought a lot of things, had dinner, and watched a movie before they went back to the villa.

Ruan Qi immediately went to find Tang Beibei when she returned to the villa.

“I picked it. Doesn’t it look especially pretty?”

Ruan Qi spread her fingers and showed Tang Beibei her ring.

Tang Beibei looked at it carefully. “Yes, it’s very unique.”

“My boyfriend bought it for me. He said that it’s our engagement ring.”

Tang Beibei smiled when she saw Ruan Qi so happy. “No wonder it’s so pretty. When are you getting married?”

Ruan Qi thought for a few seconds. “We are going to get our marriage certificate first. I’ll talk to my parents and choose an auspicious date for our wedding. You’ll be my bridesmaid.”

“Okay, I won the dance competition and got the prize money. I can give you a big red packet.”

Ruan Qi smiled charmingly. “Forget about the red packet. I haven’t even given you anything for your wedding. Beibei, Song Zhou also told me that I can try on the wedding dress when I have time. Come along then?”

“Sure.”

Tang Beibei felt a little regretful when she recalled how she had worn someone else’s wedding dress when she got married and it didn’t fit her well.

However, she would be very happy when she watched her good friend marry the person she loved wearing a beautiful wedding dress.

The two girls chatted for a long time until Song Zhou came upstairs to get Ruan Qi.

Ruan Qi took a shower and sat on the bed to play with her phone. When she heard the bathroom door open and saw the man walk to the bed with only a towel wrapped around his waist, revealing his firm muscles, she swallowed hard.

However, when the man turned around and revealed the wounds on his back, her eyes reddened. She put down her phone and reached out to touch the wound on his lower back.

“Song Zhou, does it still hurt?”

“No.”

Song Zhou held her hand and kissed it gently. “It’s almost fully healed. The scars will fade over time.”

Ruan Qi would never forget how the man rushed in front of her and shielded her from the fire and the flying glass shards.

“Mr. Song, have you ever thought about what would happen if you became disabled?”

Song Zhou was stunned. He smiled and said, “I’ll just sit in a wheelchair if I’m disabled. But you have to dance, so you can’t get hurt.”

Ruan Qi was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes and her nose burned. She raised her head and kissed him.

Song Zhou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and kissed them. “Don’t cry. Your crying will mess me up.”

Ruan Qi pushed him down and said with a smile, “Then be messed up. Let’s try again tonight.”

Song Zhou gulped, turned around, and placed his hands on her sides.

“Miss Ruan, I will do better this time.”

It was Monday, and the girls had school.

Tang Beibei went downstairs for breakfast.

However, Ruan Qi and Song Zhou did not come out, so Jiang Jingchen asked her to eat first.

“Should we go and call them? Ruan Qi and I still have classes.”

Jiang Jingchen picked up some food for her. “Romantic nights are short. It’s normal to oversleep.”

“Romantic nights are short?”

Tang Beibei bit her chopsticks and asked in confusion, “They’re not married yet. Why would they have a romantic night?”

Jiang Jingchen looked at the confused woman and really wanted to bite her.

Tang Beibei drank her soy milk and thought for a few seconds before she suddenly realized. “Hubby, do you mean that they… They… Had sex?”

Jiang Jingchen thanked heaven and earth for her realization.

“Song Zhou proposed to Ruan Qi last night. Isn’t it normal for an engaged couple to do that kind of thing?”

Tang Beibei nodded and sighed. “It’s quite surprising that Mi Qing agreed to cancel the engagement with Song Zhou.”

Jiang Jingchen sneered. “What engagement? Song Zhou has given that woman a lot of things over the years. She’s the one who’s insatiable.”

Tang Beibei did not understand. “What do you mean?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang Jingchen wasn’t going to explain for fear of exposing Song Zhou’s shares in a few entertainment companies.

Ruan Qi eventually woke up for school.

She came out for breakfast and ate more than usual. Song Zhou told her to slow down.

But she was short on time. Ruan Qi hurriedly finished a bowl of porridge and ate a scallion pancake. She wore her school bag on her shoulder and ran out.

She was an impatient person and was a little rash in her actions.

Song Zhou stopped her and handed her a new pair of shoes. He explained, “I bought you a new pair of shoes. It means that I will walk with you from now on.”

Ruan Qi was stunned. She looked at the mango motif on her new sneakers and smiled. She bent down to change her shoes, but Song Zhou asked her to sit down.

“I’ll help you change.”

Ruan Qi did not argue with him and sat down obediently.

She then heard the man say, “I’ll put on new shoes for you. May you have a solid, smooth journey with me from now on.”

“That’s rather formal.”

Ruan Qi chuckled. She also realized that Song Zhou was a man who was very particular about rituals.

Seeing the man carefully tying her shoelaces, she kissed him on the cheek and patted his shoulder.

“Good job, continue to work hard in the future.”

Her forthright boldness was more like a sworn brother encouraging Song Zhou.

Song Zhou chuckled happily and held her hand as they got into the car.

Tang Beibei looked at Jiang Jingchen and said, “Have we just been forced to watch their lovey-dovey?”

Jiang Jingchen pinched her face and helped her put on her shoes. “They’ve been single for too long. Once they found a partner, they’d do this whole revenge display of affection thing. We won’t hold it against them.”
