Chapter 333: Chapter 332: Ahhh! He put the ring on her ring finger!

Han Jin tousled his hair, also not expecting to run into Elder Su, quite awkward.

“It’s because she’s sick.”

“Oh, me too.” Elder Su nodded in understanding.

Ye Jinwen watched dryly, being the junior he could only sit on the stool. Observing the two who had just been united against a common foe now in odd silence, he quickly changed the subject.

He pointed to the cake on the coffee table, “Little Mianmian, how do you plan to celebrate your birthday?”

Lu Mian pouted and leaned against the hospital bed, engrossed in her novel.

...

She casually brushed off, “Whatever.”

She had never celebrated her birthday on time, and so didn’t feel much about it. Every year, she’d celebrate on January 7th along with Lu Xinnuan, her parents saying that it was fine since they were twins, all the same.

Thus, she’d watch Lu Xinnuan wearing a birthday hat, making a wish, blowing out candles, and find it all so bland. Her parents would then offhandedly add, “Happy Birthday” to her.

Whether she was happy or not seemed unimportant to her; she just didn’t feel involved.

“Then I’ll spend it with you today!” Ye Jinwen volunteered enthusiastically. Given Lu Mian’s condition now, even if Qimo was itching to be with her, he probably couldn’t, so he might as well take on the task himself.

Elder Su raised his hand, “Count me in.” Although they had already celebrated Lu Mian’s birthday in advance, he didn’t mind having another meal.

Han Jin nodded, “I’ll stay as well.” Since he was already here, it didn’t matter if he stayed a little longer.

Lu Mian tilted her head and snapped the novel shut with some irritation, “Don’t you all have anything to do?”

“Not at all.”

“Absolutely nothing.”

“Completely free, and so idle.”

Lu Mian: …

Ye Jinwen swiftly placed an order with MM Ji Restaurant, and considering the pitiful Mister Mo next door, he grudgingly ordered a separate meal for him as well.

Before he even paid for the order, the door to the hospital room was unexpectedly pushed open.

A pair of elegant hands appeared, followed by a tall, graceful, and stunning figure.

His arrival caused all three in the hospital room to glance over.

Elder Su’s expression was complex, and Han Jin was quite surprised.

Only Ye Jinwen, startled out of his wits, abandoned ordering food and dashed like the wind to Xiao Qimo’s side, erecting a human wall between him and Lu Mian.

Ye Jinwen: I’m in such a bind…

“Qimo, how come you’re here!”

Xiao Qimo had already heard the commotion outside, but at that time, he was in the midst of a critical setting process and couldn’t move. He had sat until now, but after he finished his work, he just couldn’t sit still anymore.

He finally saw that exquisitely wild little face again. Seeing the flush on her face had mostly faded, he felt relieved and satisfied.

After watching her for a while, he finally noticed the other two in the room.

“Elder Su.” He greeted elegantly, as if the prior overlook hadn’t been him at all, and he remained poised.

Then, turning his gaze toward Han Jin, he seemed puzzled as if he had not expected Han Jin to have a connection with Lu Mian. However, he quickly composed himself.

“Director Han.”

Han Jin took a look and shook off the surprise, thinking of Ye Jinwen’s identity, he too came to terms.

“Mr. Xiao.”

“No need to be formal.”

Xiao Qimo finished greeting them and then headed straight for Lu Mian.

With one hand in his pocket, seeming to be holding something, Ye Jinwen tirelessly tried to stop him and was brushed aside with one push.

Ye Jinwen: This is too hard…

Lu Mian leaned on the bed, her knees slightly bent, watching him approach step by step. His thin lips glistened faintly, the curve when pursed was attractive, captivating.

She remembered the dream where he took off his glasses, and she touched his contours, aligning perfectly with the image she had sketched in her heart.

All of this made her recall something once again.

Lu Mian looked away, not meeting his gaze, her heartbeat speeding up again, her breathing becoming hotter.

Oh no.

She really shouldn’t have had that kind of dream, it made her feel like a thief whenever she saw Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo had no idea what she was thinking as he walked over without saying a word, and calmly picked up her left hand.

Han Jin: !!!

Su Lao: ???

Lu Mian: …

Ye Jinwen clenched his sweat in a tight grip, Brother Qi, don’t be impulsive, this will make Little Mianmian…

Ah, feels like Brother Qi’s journey to woo his wife needs a re-planning of the route.

Lu Mian tried to pull her hand back, but Xiao Qimo applied a bit of force, not letting her pull away, and took out something from his pocket, holding a mysteriously colored object between his fingers.

In the presence of three onlookers, he took Lu Mian’s left ring finger and slid the ring onto it.

Ye Jinwen: Holy shit!

What’s happening? He’s giving her a ring now? They haven’t even reached the point of discussing marriage and Brother Qi is going for it?

Su Qinghe and Han Jin bore expressions that said “as if their own child was nudged by a pig,” warily staring at Xiao Qimo.

Lu Mian was confused and struggled again.

Xiao Qimo persisted, sliding it from her fingertip to the base of her finger, gently pushing while he explained.

“Don’t misunderstand, this doesn’t mean anything special. This is just a plain ring that’s good for your health. Do you feel like your heartbeat has improved a lot now?”

Lu Mian paused, it seemed… indeed a bit.

Ye Jinwen exclaimed, could it be that Brother Qi actually put…

He leaned in for a closer look and indeed found a tiny black crystal embedded in the plain ring, smaller than a sesame seed.

It looked like a black diamond but was entirely not.

But why not embed this thing on a necklace instead, why put it into such a fine ring?

He had reasons to suspect that Brother Qi was an old fox; he was outright flirting with Lu Mian.

Xiao Qimo smiled, staring at the ring that had a dark aura and then at the “black diamond”, looking quite satisfied.

“You can consider it a red blood cell activity disruptor. It can regulate your blood, heartbeat, and overall health. The ring finger of the left hand is also known as the ‘heart finger’, so wearing it on this finger can better protect your heart. It should also ease your problem with the high heart rate quite a bit.”

His explanation was nearly impeccable, said in all earnestness.

Su Lao’s gaze grew even more complex.

Han Jin stared intently at Lu Mian’s hand, mentally sweating on behalf of Sikong Jian.

Ye Jinwen: “…”

Brother Qi really has a way with words when it comes to nonsense!

He clearly just wanted to give her a ring! Scheming dog! Old fox!

Lu Mian felt that the situation had indeed improved somewhat, and lifted her hand to look at the plain ring on her finger, which was a beautiful color and fit her perfectly.

“Is this a gift for me?”

“Mhm, a birthday present.”

“Is it expensive?”

Xiao Qimo shook his head: “It’s not valuable, not even as expensive as a gold ring.”

Ye Jinwen: !!!

Brother Qi actually said this thing isn’t valuable!!!

Indeed, that tiny bit of black crystal can’t be measured in money; it can’t simply be described as expensive, calling it a priceless treasure wouldn’t be an overstatement.

Only Brother Qi could acquire such a rare item and skillfully set it into such a delicate ring.

Brother Qi is really amazing; he managed to hoodwink Little Mianmian.

I’m impressed!

However, after staring at the ring for a while, Lu Mian seemed to think of something and, right in front of Xiao Qimo, she took the ring off.
