His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 1438 - 405: Family Education Is Very Important (Part 5)

Qin Mu didn’t know why, perhaps it was too quiet in the room, so she chatted with Xiaomei so emotionally.

Hearing this, Xiaomei’s eyes turned a bit red; she thought Qin Mu wouldn’t understand.

Qin Mu held a cake in one hand and gently held Xiaomei’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."

Xiaomei’s eyes suddenly turned even redder, and some things uncontrollably welled up in them.

"You’re so annoying, why say such things out of the blue?"

Xiaomei 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 remembered that Xiaomei hadn’t had any, so she asked, "Do you want a bite?"

Seeing the little bit of cake left, Xiaomei 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, something 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 meaning is also very good."

An Nan didn’t say anything, just picked up the women’s ring and tried it on, then picked up the men’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 seemed 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 home 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 home, then quietly sat at the dining table waiting for Jiang Zhiyuan to appear.

Jiang Zhiyuan almost always came 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 time when he proposed and got rejected, she thought she must give him a memorable 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.

Some people spend their whole lives seeking that kind of true love that aligns both body and soul.

Some find it while they’re young, and some 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 met Jiang Zhiyuan when she was young, the young master who appeared somewhat 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.
