Watching the people coming and going on the street, Jiang Xia held his wife's hand and strolled slowly. The warm winter sun shone down, making them feel warm all over.

"Let's go buy a ring?" He turned to look at his wife, his eyes shining.

"Okay," Lin Yanwan replied with a smile.

"Baby, we're getting engaged soon, are you excited?"

"Are you excited?" Lin Yanwan asked with a smile.

Jiang Xia let out a soft breath: "At first I was quite excited, but gradually I stopped being excited. Instead, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders."

Lin Yanwan looked down at their clasped hands and said softly, "Me too."

The couple from their past life have come to this point again after being reborn.

The two walked hand in hand into Chow Tai Fook not far away and found that there were quite a few couples buying rings. They guessed that they were planning to get married while their relatives and friends were at home during the Chinese New Year.

"Are you two getting married and buying rings?" a salesperson asked as they approached.

"right."

Diamond ring or gold ring?

Jiang Xia looked at his wife and said, "How about we go with the gold ring? The old one had a bad connotation."

The advertisement was quite catchy, saying things like "A diamond is forever," but in the end, they almost got divorced in their past life.

“I think so too.” Lin Yanwan nodded.

The salesman looked completely bewildered.

What do you mean by "the previous one had a bad connotation"? These two people in front of me don't look very old. Could it be that they're already remarried?

"Gold rings are quite nice; they hold their value well, and many people wear gold rings these days," the salesperson said, showing them the gold ring he was wearing.

Under the indoor lighting, the gold emitted a captivating luster.

"What price range are you two planning to buy rings in? I can give you some suggestions."

"Price doesn't matter, I'll buy it if it's right," Jiang Xia said calmly.

A typical gold ring costs only a few thousand yuan, and a better one might cost tens of thousands. For him, that's really not much money.

Upon hearing this, the salesperson thought she had met a rich second-generation. When measuring their fingers, she kept praising Lin Yanwan's hands, saying they were beautiful, white and tender, with slender fingers, and were the most beautiful hands she had seen in a while.

Jiang Xia smiled. He knew what she meant without her saying it. After all, he had been touching her for so long, and he felt that his fetish for hands was developed because of his wife.

In particular, her skill in playing the xiao (a type of vertical bamboo flute) and singing is exceptional.

After saying all the nice things, she showed them several pairs of the more expensive wedding rings in the store, but Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan didn't like any of them.

It's either too flashy and decorated, or it looks too heavy; it's heavy, but it just doesn't look good.

In the end, the two chose a simple pair of pure gold wedding rings, which fit their hands perfectly, and the luster of the gold made Lin Yanwan's hands look very delicate and white.

Jiang Xia also planned to buy his wife a necklace and bracelet, but Lin Yanwan didn't want them. She felt that wearing such things at their age was too flashy, and a simple ring would be just right.

"Okay, then I'll do as my wife says."

After paying, the two held hands and went home together. They didn't plan to take off the rings; they would just symbolically put them in a box on the day of their engagement, as a formality.

Back home, Ji Wanqiu immediately noticed the gold rings on the two women's hands. She smiled, carefully examined the ring on her daughter's left ring finger, and praised, "Beautiful."

◇

Time flies.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, in the year of Gengyin, the God of Happiness is in charge, making it an auspicious day for marriage and engagement.

Lin Gaoyuan and Jiang Wende booked a large private room at the hotel and only invited their closest relatives and friends.

The engagement ceremony was handled directly by the hotel, and the entire venue was decorated in red. Against the wall was an engagement banquet display board decorated with flowers, featuring two loving figures with the names Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan written on it.

In addition, the table is decorated with many fruits and pastries, covered with small double happiness characters, and 99 red roses placed in the center.

Jiang Xia was wearing a white suit jacket, while Lin Yanwan was dressed in a beautiful red dress. The air conditioning was on in the private room, so it wasn't cold. The two of them looked like a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

The engagement ceremony was far less elaborate than the wedding ceremony. After Jiang Xia saw that all the relatives and friends were seated and it was almost time, he took Lin Yanwan's hand and walked to the large red "囍" (double happiness) character.

Li Weiya originally wanted to officiate their engagement ceremony, but instead, they each took a microphone and first thanked each other's parents for their upbringing, then thanked the relatives and friends who came to the engagement ceremony, and then talked a lot about how they met, got to know each other, and fell in love.

To outsiders, they are still young, and even though they have only been dating since high school, it has only been a year and a half. But the reality is that their love spans two lifetimes and has already surpassed everything else.

Their journey from high school to Tsinghua University alone has moved many people, making them an enviable couple.

Lin Yanwan looked at Jiang Xia with a beaming smile and told him their story. Compared to their previous life, their experiences were much richer.

Then Jiang Xia changed the subject, took the bouquet, and knelt on one knee in front of his wife.

"Baby, for the rest of my life, will you walk with me? I will love you forever, never leave you, and spend my whole life cherishing you, giving you warmth and happiness," Jiang Xia said happily.

"I believe you." Lin Yanwan smiled and looked into his eyes.

Without saying much, she took the roses from Jiang Xia, hugged them, and then pulled him up and gave him a gentle hug.

At this moment, the sister-in-law came out with a small box containing the rings and handed it to her brother-in-law. Jiang Xia patted her head and took out the rings from the box and put them on her finger.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted at the scene. Then, witnessed by everyone and with the blessings of relatives and friends, the two wrote their names on the festive engagement certificate. Finally, with the blessings of both sets of parents, the father-in-law handed his daughter's hand to Jiang Xia, and the entire engagement ceremony came to an end.

Sitting next to Shen Ying, Wang Ming watched Lao Jiang and Lin Yanwan confess their love and exchange rings, and couldn't help but feel a little envious. When would he and Shen Ying get to that point?

Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Shen Ying quietly took his hand under the table.

The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.

They don't need to compare themselves to this couple who were reincarnated and didn't even drink the Meng Po soup. Since they are taking things one step at a time, they should meet each other's parents next Spring Festival, right?

The banquet ended, and all the guests left satisfied.

From this point on, Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan can be considered husband and wife in name only. They can hold a formal wedding when they reach the required age.

The following day was the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Amidst a farewell from the crowd, Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan, Li Weiya and Wang Ming, officially boarded the plane to the capital.

The development of Qitian Animation has just begun in the new year.

I recommend a book by a friend: "Starting from That Han City"

Yoona: I told you, I'll take care of you.

Peach: Oppa, when are you going to do something naughty? Take me with you!

The male protagonist smiled; he was almost stuffed from being a kept man.

A romance novel where the male and female leads both transmigrate to another world, filled with sweet moments and seemingly unrelated elements!
