Under the light, the young man was sitting on the sofa, listening to the salesperson's sales pitch with his head down. He heard something, but he pursed his lips and smiled.

Xue Ning teased: "Hey, your boyfriend is here, are you here to buy a ring too?"

Xue Du glanced at her and was about to tell her to shut up when he heard Chi Xingyao's voice: "Hey, why are you here? Are you here to order something?"

She had a ruby ​​necklace around her neck and looked like she was trying it on.

Xue Ning was about to speak when Xue Du said, "Well, just take a look."

Chi Xingyao was very enthusiastic: "What are you looking at? Let's do it together. I heard that a master is coming today, so it's a good opportunity to ask him to do it."

The movement here also attracted Shen Yinan’s attention, and he quickly walked over.

I looked at him with some doubt: "Didn't you say you might have to work overtime tonight?"

Xue Du smiled, his expression natural: "Once the work is done, I will accompany Xue Ning here."

Xue Ning: ...

Okay, okay, you're with me again.

I don’t know who tortured the old man in his eighties to the point that he was afraid to answer the phone.

Xue Ning raised an eyebrow: "Yes, someone suddenly said that the recent sales are very good and wanted to buy something for my sister. It's hard to refuse."

Xue Du: “…”

It would be too conspicuous to talk while standing, so several people followed the clerk to sit on the sofa nearby.

After asking their preferences, the waiter went to prepare the drinks.

Chi Xingyao showed them the gemstones that the clerk had recommended to her just now, and was very confused about whether to make them into bracelets or necklaces.

Ana Shen said, “Buy them all, I’ll give them to you.”

"Did Chen Zhongcheng give you gold coins again?" Chi Xingyao propped up her chin. "But no need. My brother also gave me gold coins. Hehe, it feels so good to be a dependent."

Ana Shen nodded.

Recently, Shen Zhongcheng had been transferring money to his card from time to time, saying nonsense like "one family" and "father and son" every day. Shen Yinan accepted the money and basically didn't remember what he said.

They chatted for a while and the waiter brought the drinks over.

There was also an old white man who came with them.

He walked up to Xue Du, his face full of sorrow: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xue. The ring will take some more time."

Chi Xingyao immediately looked at Xue Du, her eyes shining: "What ring?!"

There was a suspicious silence for three seconds.

Xue Du's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Xue Ning and said, "Go ahead."

After all, he had been blamed for so many years, so Xue Ning quickly reacted and hurried away pulling the old man.

Ana Shen was still out of the situation: “Sister, are you going to buy a ring recently?”

"It's custom-made, probably for Han Yu." Chi Xingyao thought she had found something new, and stared at Xue Du with shining eyes, "Are they getting married?!"

Xue Du rarely cared about other people's relationship status. He glanced at Xue Ning's back and said casually, "Maybe."

"It's really not easy... We've been breaking up and getting back together for almost ten years." Chi Xingyao sighed.

After deciding on the style, Ana Shen and Chi Xingyao still had to go to the movies, so they left first.

After the two came out of the cinema, they stopped by the pet store to buy snacks for Chi Xingyao's two cats.

While shopping, a couple passed by, and Ana Shen’s eyes stayed on the girl’s diamond ring for three seconds.

Carrying a bunch of snacks and small clothes back to the car, Shen Yinan fastened his seat belt blankly and looked out the window in a daze.

"Hey!" Chi Xingyao snapped her fingers in front of him.

Shen Yinan was startled, blinked his eyelashes quickly a few times, and looked up at people.

"You want a ring too?" she asked jokingly.

The boy pinched his earlobe awkwardly, trying to hide his true intentions. “I’m just curious about how they, both girls, will get married.”

Chi Xingyao said: "It's very simple, just register abroad and hold a wedding in China. I know several people who did the same."

She sighed in mock sadness: "Oh, Nannan is too old to be kept. She was deceived by a bad man so quickly... I'm so sad..."

"I didn't think about it!" Shen Yinan hurriedly denied, but couldn't help but defend Xue Du: "He...is not bad."

"You still say you don't want to!" Chi Xingyao snorted, "Now no one is allowed to say a bad word about him. You've been trapped by him."

“…”

Shen Yinan closed his mouth and stopped talking, but Xue Du’s words that day unconsciously emerged in his mind.

He said that when their relationship progressed to the next step, he would show him what was in the box.

By “next step,” does that mean…getting married?

Xue Du...Have you ever thought about marrying him?

When he thought of this possibility, Shen Yinan's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

but……

He glanced at his watch.

His lips were tightly pursed again.

They have been together for a long time, but he has never taken off his watch in front of Xue Du.

Under the watch, the twisted scar is the dark past that Shen Yinan is unwilling to face.

A secret that has never been told to anyone.

He wasn't sure...whether Xue Du would dislike him.

After a long silence, he whispered to Chi Xingyao, "If... that is, if... your boyfriend is hiding something from you, would you be angry?"

"Are you hiding something from Xue Du?" Chi Xingyao saw through it at a glance.

Ana Shen nodded awkwardly, “Yeah.”

"It depends on what the matter is. If it's serious, I'll probably get angry. If it's not serious, forget it."

During the red light, she glanced at Chen Yinan and said, "But I don't think Xue Du will be angry with you."

"Even if you have an illegitimate child, he will only find a way to become the child's father in a legitimate way."
