Chapter 15 If you're going to show off your love, could you pick a different time?

"I'll put yours on you."

Shi Yuanxing took out the women's ring and gently and solemnly slipped it onto her slender white ring finger on her right hand.

"it's beautiful."

He held her hand and softly praised her.

Qin Shuzhi also stated, "I will wear it in the future."

This is a sign of respect for marriage and one's partner.

Shi Yuanxing looked up and met those bright and clear eyes. At such close range, their eyes met, and a subtle ambiguity began to grow and spread between them.

Shi Yuanxing's Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but lean down and gently kiss her rosy lips.

The fleeting touch caught Qin Shuzhi off guard, causing her heart to race. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she stared at him, somewhat lost in thought.

Thinking she was displeased, Shi Yuanxing quickly said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I got a little carried away..."

Qin Shuzhi snapped out of her daze, lowered her gaze shyly, clutched the ring on her hand, and whispered, "It's okay, we're husband and wife, it's fine."

The three words, “Yes,” were spoken in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, yet clear and firm in the quiet room.

Shi Yuanxing's heart fluttered, and when he looked up, he saw the woman's delicate and pretty face, as pink as a peach blossom.

A tickling sensation rose in his throat, and Shi Yuanxing swallowed hard.

“Yes, we are husband and wife.” He murmured, then pressed his advantage, asking, “So, can I continue, wife?”

The tender affection conveyed by that "wife" seemed to melt hearts. Qin Shuzhi's mind was filled with the word of affection, and before she could respond, her lips were captured.

This time it was a kiss.

It wasn't a fleeting, superficial kiss.

A warm, lingering scent emanated from his lips and teeth, accompanied by his unique, refreshing aura.

Qin Shuzhi felt her body and mind tremble and go weak.

Seeing that she couldn't breathe, Shi Yuanxing slowly released her lips.

Qin Shuzhi fell into the man's broad and warm embrace, a warm hand gently stroking her back to soothe her.

With a gentle touch.

Suddenly looking up, Qin Shuzhi met a pair of gentle and affectionate dark eyes, and felt as if her heart and soul were being drawn into the vortex of his eyes.

They gazed at each other silently, and she seemed to hear her own heart pounding wildly.

After a while, she came to her senses, blushed, and looked away. "Um... I, I need to go back to my room."

She hurriedly got up from him.

Shi Yuanxing did not stop her. Seeing that her legs went weak, he kindly supported her waist to help her stand up, and then said gently, "Okay, good night."

Goodnight.

Qin Shuzhi didn't dare to look him in the eye again, and turned around and ran back to her room as if fleeing.

As soon as the door closed, her still limp body leaned against the back of the door.

With her fingertips gently touching the lips that still held the man's warmth, Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but blush and her heart race.

The living room returned to silence.

Sitting on the sofa, Shi Yuanxing pursed his lips, still savoring the moment, then took out his phone and made a call.

"Hello……"

A sleepy, languid voice came from the other end.

Shi Yuanxing said, "Tell the designer not to design any more rings."

"What?"

The man's voice on the other end immediately became clear-headed, "Yesterday he was calling me several times a day, asking me to urge the designer to make progress, and today he's saying that the design doesn't need to be done anymore. Are you kidding me?"

Shi Yuanxing fiddled with the wedding ring on his finger, his voice beaming with joy as he said, "My wife bought it for me."

The person on the other end was completely confused. "What did your wife buy for you?"

"Wedding ring".

Shi Yuanxing raised his hand, brought the wedding ring to his lips, and kissed it lightly. "My wife bought me a ring."

"Your wife..."

The man on the other end of the line sounded both interested and surprised. "You mean, your wife, whom you had a whirlwind marriage with... bought you a wedding ring?"

Shi Yuanxing raised his voice, "That's right."

"Wow, your wife is quite something."

"It's not just okay, it's a perfect score."

Shi Yuanxing's gentle gaze fell on the closed master bedroom door, and he said with satisfaction, "My wife is intelligent, independent, beautiful and lovely, and she's also very good to me."

The person on the other end: "..."

Shi Yuanxing smiled and said, "How can there be such a wonderful woman in this world? She's my wife."

"..."

The person on the other end took a deep breath, and after a moment of speechless silence, remained silent.

"Brother, it's early morning here. If you want to show off your love, can you pick another time?"

He yawned and said, "I'm hanging up."

Shi Yuanxing said, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

"I know, I know. Your intelligent, outstanding, independent, and beautiful wife bought you a ring, and you're really smug about it. I could tell. So, is there anything else? Oh right, the ring doesn't need to be custom-made. What about that rough white diamond you bought at such a high price? Should I send it back to your country?"

“No need, let the designer design a pair of earrings for me instead,” Shi Yuanxing said.

"Okay, got it."

*

The next day at noon, Shi Yuanxing said that his father had returned and asked Qin Shuzhi when he wanted to go home to see his family.

Finally, it was time to meet the parents. Qin Shuzhi suppressed a hint of nervousness. "I still need to prepare a gift for the meeting. How about tomorrow?"

"good."

Seeing her serious demeanor, Shi Yuanxing chuckled, "You don't need to prepare a gift, I'll take care of it."

"No way." Qin Shuzhi immediately refused.

"This is the proper etiquette for a junior, and I cannot ask you to do it for me."

Then, remembering something, she asked, "By the way, I've actually been wanting to ask you, your sister... she should be married by now, right? Does she have any children?"

Shi Yuanxing said, "She has always been busy with her career and is not married yet."

"Oh, I see." Qin Shuzhi's eyes were full of admiration. "Then you are truly an amazing woman."

Shi Yuanxing smiled and said, "Yes, that's true."

"Actually, I saw a diamond bracelet I liked while shopping yesterday, and I bought it to give to my sister. But now that I think about it, I'm worried she might not like jewelry. Maybe I should get her a different gift?"

Seeing her deep thought and conflicted expression, Shi Yuanxing gently took her hand and said, "No need, this gift is fine."

"No matter how independent she is, she's still a girl, and she was carefully chosen by you. She'll like it."

"……Really."

Shi Yuanxing nodded, "I trust your judgment."

"Okay, then I'll give you a bracelet."

"Actually, I've almost finished preparing the gifts for Grandma and Dad, but I haven't picked them up yet. I'll tell someone, and you can come with me to pick them up later, okay?"

As Qin Shuzhi spoke, she took out her phone and looked down to send a message to someone.

"Okay." Shi Yuanxing agreed, looked at her, and remained silent for a moment, then said, "Shuzhi."

"Hmm?" The woman, busy sending messages, responded without looking up.

"I've never told you about my family situation before, how about I tell you now?"

Qin Shuzhi looked up, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Okay, go ahead."

"Actually, at home..."

Just as Shi Yuanxing opened his mouth, Qin Shuzhi's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw the words "13" displayed on the screen.

"You answer the phone first," he said.

"Okay." Qin Shuzhi answered the phone. "What's up, baby... now? Okay... can you be downstairs in ten minutes?"

She suddenly looked up at Shi Yuanxing, then said to Qi Yishan, "Okay, see you later."

"What's wrong?" Shi Yuanxing asked.

"Yi San's dad arranged a blind date for her at the last minute. They'll be meeting soon, and she asked me to go with her so I could help her get out of it."

Qi Yishan's father would arrange blind dates for her every few days, always finding a reason to make her go. Almost every time, Qi Yishan would drag Qin Shuzhi along to help her get away.

Seeing Qin Shuzhi get up to go back to her room, Shi Yuanxing was a little confused. "You're going out now?"

"Yes, Yi San will be here soon. I'll go change my clothes first."

Remembering something, Qin Shuzhi turned to him with a smile and said, "Oh, about the situation at home, you can tell me when we get to your house tomorrow."

Shi Yuanxing moved his mouth slightly, and finally nodded, "Okay."

"What time should we pick up the gift?"

"You don't need to make a trip. I'll have Yi San deliver it to you later," Qin Shuzhi said considerately. "You can go and do your own thing."

"……good."

Seeing her so eager to go out and see her best friend, Shi Yuanxing's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.

He has a best friend, so his wife ignores him.
