A friend of Xu Yanfeng met an acquaintance at a hotel.
That acquaintance was none other than Xu Yanfeng's girlfriend from university, who was now a thing of the past.
The two greete...
"Yes." Xia Xi looked down at the ring. It was inconvenient to wear it normally, but she remembered it before going out today, so she took it out and put it on. With a smile on her face, she said, "He gave it to me when he proposed to me."
"Hmm?" Xu Junmo was silent for a moment, then his gaze shifted to Xu Yanfeng's face. He coughed and said with a smile, "Why are you like this?"
Xu Yanfeng didn't know what he was talking about: "What?"
Xu Junmo pointed at the ring on Xia Xi's hand, paused for two seconds, and said incoherently, "Using the same gift twice? Are you so stingy in a relationship? If I remember correctly, you said this ring was for a birthday gift, how did it become an engagement ring?"
Then, he thought of a possibility and asked Xia Xi: "Did he propose to you on your birthday?"
Xia Xi: "That's not the case."
"Tsk." Xu Junmo's eyes were filled with disdain, "You're really stingy."
Xia Xi didn't agree with Xu Junmo's assessment. She was just curious and poked Xu Yanfeng on the leg: "What's this birthday gift your brother mentioned?"
Xu Yanfeng glared at the troublemaker and blamed him for being too talkative.
Xu Junmo started to rebel, and then said in a servile manner: "Sister-in-law, do you want to know? I'll tell you. This ring he..."
Having nothing on hand, Xu Yanfeng picked up a pillow and threw it at him, but Xu Junmo caught it steadily. He was interrupted for a second before continuing: "He bought it seven years ago. I even asked him if he was going to propose to you, and he said it was just a birthday gift. Isn't this also for a proposal?"
"Seven years ago..." Xia Xi murmured and repeated his words.
On the day Xu Yanfeng proposed to her, she asked him when he prepared the ring. He didn't give her an accurate answer at the time, but only vaguely said that it was prepared a long time ago.
It turns out that it was prepared a long time ago.
Seven years.
Suddenly, she remembered the year she broke up with Xu Yanfeng. He had prepared a share transfer agreement for her birthday. When she found out about it in advance, she was terrified and refused to accept it. Later, he prepared a new gift. No matter how she asked, he didn't tell her. Later, they broke up before her birthday, so naturally, she never knew about it.
The doubts that have been hanging in the air for many years have finally been answered today.
Xu Junmo: "Do you want to know how much this ring costs?"
His words brought Xia Xi back from the past. Her eyes focused: "Hmm? How much?"
"Xu Junmo, that's enough." Xu Yanfeng didn't even call him "brother".
Xu Junmo was about to speak when he saw Xu Guanshan coming over from the corner of his eye. His expression immediately changed. He sat up straight and behaved properly. The laxity in his body disappeared without a trace.
Xia Xi stood up and looked at the majestic middle-aged man. He was dressed casually in a white polo shirt and dark gray trousers. He walked steadily and exuded an oppressive feeling when he said nothing.
Xu Yanfeng whispered to Xia Xi, "It's my dad."
Of course Xia Xi knew. Xu Yanfeng thought this was the first time she and Xu Guanshan had met, but in fact, they had met before. But she acted as if it was her first time meeting Xu Guanshan, and said with a faint smile, "Chairman."
Xu Yanfeng's eyelids trembled slightly, and he glanced at the person next to him. She called his mother "Auntie", but called his father "Chairman"? This address... was indescribably weird.
