Si Zhengting was utterly speechless.
As he looked at Zhuang Nainai and saw her crafty gaze, his lips curled up. He whispered into her ear, “I said you love me.”
Zhuang Nainai immediately pouted. She just wanted to hear more of Si Zhengting’s sweet talk, but this petty man did not want to satisfy her.
Time ticked away.
The firecracker sounds outside had come to an end.
The whole world seemed to have fallen silent in an instant.
Hugging each other, they leaned on the couch by the window. Then, Zhuang Nainai urged Si Zhengting, “Quick, take a look at what I have gotten you.”
Si Zhengting smiled. Who even hurries someone to open their present?
However, he still picked up the long and slim gift box. Upon opening it, he found a piece of hand-crafted painting.
He unrolled the painting. Under the moonlight, he could see one man and one woman leaning against each other blissfully.
As it was an oil painting, the features of the man and woman were very defined. It was a painting of the two of them.
After seeing it, Zhuang Nainai said, “Si Zhengting, no matter what happens in the future, we are husband and wife. We need to have mutual trust. Let’s not suspect each other again, okay? If there are things we are unsure of, we need to talk it out face to face. Okay?”
When Si Zhengting heard this, his heart ached.
Due to suspicions and misunderstandings, they had fought for so long and even almost couldn’t be together anymore. Undoubtedly, he would not make the same mistakes again in the future.
He extended his arms and wrapped them around Zhuang Nainai’s waist from behind. Placing his big hands on her b.u.mp, he nodded. “Okay.”
Zhuang Nainai extended her hand toward him. “Then let’s do a pinkie promise. This promise shall never be broken for a hundred years! Whoever breaks it is a dog!”
Si Zhengting nodded again. “Okay.”
Their two hands, one big and one small, were linked together like they were children’s.
After they did their pinkie promise, Zhuang Nainai laughed wickedly as she took out the gift that Si Zhengting had prepared for her. “Let me see. What is this?”
Upon opening the gift box, she realized… there was a diamond ring inside.
The design of the diamond ring was unique, and it exuded elegance. The stone was not very big, but it was the perfect size to be worn daily.
Her eyes lit up. She scrutinized it and fell in love with it. Immediately, her smile became wider as she showed off to Si Zhengting proudly. “I didn’t spend a single cent from drawing that oil painting, but I got a diamond ring in return. This year’s Chinese New Year is so worth celebrating!”
Seeing how she actually measured the gift’s worth through monetary terms, he could not resist knocking on her head gently with his knuckle. Thereafter, he took the diamond ring, stood up, and helped her straighten her sitting posture. He then knelt down on one knee. He was not good with words. He clearly had a lot to tell her, but all those words eventually formed this sentence:
“Zhuang Nainai, will you marry me?”
Zhuang Nainai eyes welled up again. As she looked at the man in front of her, she felt like everything was a dream.
When they had gotten married, he did not even show up. It was Executive a.s.sistant Ji who went to register the marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Their marriage was nothing more than a piece of thin paper and that small red booklet. They did not announce news of their marriage, nor did they have a wedding. Nothing.
One could say that she was showy or ungrateful, but she liked weddings.
It could be because she was in the design industry. To others, weddings might just be a formality and anything would do. However, ever since she was in college, she had already imagined how she would attend to every single details of her wedding personally if she were to marry Si Zhengting and have a wedding.
