Chapter 86 Pandora“s Box

Fu Jin wrapped his arms around Jiang Yue and let her head rest upon his chest.

Both of them trying to take in every moment with each other.

Both of them savoring each other"s touch. His warmth seeps into her being as they melt into each other"s arms.

"I"m about to leave." He murmured his tone serious and sullen.

"Hmmm..." Jiang Yue nodded, she chose not to say anything.

Then Fu Jin"s arms squeezed her a little tighter while gently rubbing her arms.

They are currently in the roof terrace of the w.a.n.g Mansion. Gazing at the beautiful silhouette of the city as the sun disappears into their eyes.

In three hours, Fu Jin and his family will leave.

Then she will not see him for the next two years.

Jiang Yue already decided to propose to this man tonight.

She is just waiting for the right time.

After a thorough deliberation of their current situation, she was able to come up with this decision because of only one reason.

And that is she felt something special towards this man. Something that cannot be realized by a thousand words. She knows that this is not just an attraction like the kind of trance that would bring the bee to a flower.

No. This is something more. Something more pa.s.sionate and reliable. Something that she cannot see nor touch but she can clearly feel even if her eyes are closed.

This is something special. Very Special.

"I will be away for two years." He mumbled.

"I know."

"Are you going to wait for me?" Fu Jin"s question made Jiang Yue stifled a laugh.

"Silly, of course, I will." She answered. After introducing her to his parents, this man really just asked her if she is willing to wait for him.

"Then marry me."

"Huh?" Fu Jin"s sudden proposal made Jiang Yue"s heart fell silent.

It was as if words left her. She couldn"t will her lips to move.

Did... Fu Jin just propose? To her?

"Marry me after two years. When I come back. Marry me." He reiterated.

The silence grew even longer as Jiang Yue moved away from him. Her eyes glued into his.

"Where is it?" After a few minutes, Jiang Yue finally spoke up.

"What?" He asked, seemingly confuse.

"Where is it?" She repeated. Her mother in law was right, after all, this Fu Jin is one slow bloke.

After realizing what she means, Fu Jin then pulled a scarlet box from his pocket and open it before he gives it to Jiang Yue.

Seeing a ring with a purple stone immediately made Jiang Yue beamed with joy.

So why is she happy, you ask? That"s because, in her previous life, Yu Chen did not propose nor gave her any ring.

Now, she already has one. Expensive or not, Jiang Yue decided to treasure this ring in this lifetime.

Ah! This feeling is truly great!

Jiang Yue immediately put on the ring in her finger and admired it under the lights. Leaving the confuse Fu Jin staring at her.

Seems like simple things like this can make her beloved extremely happy.

Fu Jin already made a mental note to send her every ring that he could find anywhere.

Both are engrossed in their own thoughts that they seemed to forget Fu Jin"s question that is still unanswered.

After some time, Jiang Yue finally realized what she did so she went back to Fu Jin"s arms and hugs him.

"Tonight, I thought I would be the one proposing to you." She started. "So, I uh... I guess I will also give you this ring that I prepared for you?"

"I mean uh... originally, I did not expect for this to happen, so I haven"t got the time to prepare for a ring in advance." Jiang Yue said while pulling a ring from her pocket. She found this ring in the vault with all of her mother"s deeds and will.

It is a beautiful white gold onyx ring for men with a handcrafted letter J. At the back of the ring, Jiang Yue can also see some sort of insignia.

She thought this might be very important to her mother or else why would she have this as a part of her inheritance? However, since she never had the time to pick for a ring, she will just give this to Fu Jin for now. Then buy something nice later. Anyway, it is just a ring, right?

Men originally don"t wear engagement rings so Jiang Yue thought this is not very important at all.

Who would have thought that this simple miscalculation would lead them both into a whirlwind of secrets and mysteries?

Neither Jiang Yue nor Fu Jin has any idea how important this ring was. And neither have them have any idea how this will change both of their lives so much.

Who would have thought that this ring is akin to Pandora"s box?

Now, as for the contents of this box? Well... it won"t be that undesirable right?

Of course, this is all in the future and that story will be for another time. Alright?
