Chapter 31 "Come and check the post."
Meng Liyue opened the box and saw an extremely beautiful diamond ring.
Even though she didn't know much about diamonds, she could still appreciate their sparkle and transparency.
Perhaps this is the moment when diamonds are most eye-catching.
But... another dazzling light flashed before her eyes.
What a coincidence, I saw similar diamond rings twice in such a short period of time.
The car had already driven some distance, but there was still no response from Meng Liyue, nor did she express any opinion as to whether she liked it or not.
The expression on Li Fuzheng's stern face gradually faded.
Could it be that I was fooled by the jewelry sales? And Xiao Cai, what he said was so decisive...
His eyes became darker and darker, and just as he was about to break the silence, he saw Meng Liyue holding up the ring and smiling at him: "It's pretty."
Li Fuzheng breathed a sigh of relief silently.
But before I could say anything, I heard her ask, "Is this brand holding any promotions recently?"
The man's sharp brows wrinkled inadvertently: "What?"
Meng Liyue thought for a moment and said, "For example, buy one get one free."
She put the ring back into the box and closed it.
If Xu Moti had not provoked her a few hours ago, he would have shown off a diamond ring that was almost identical to this one.
Meng Liyue should be happier at this moment.
She had somewhat underestimated the negative impact Xu Moti had brought to her. The psychological shadow of the past made her subconsciously resist anything related to Xu Moti.
Li Fuzheng also spoke up at this time: "It seems you don't like it."
Her reaction was clear. She showed no pleasure at all when it came to the ring. The truth was clear.
He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and added calmly, "The decision is yours. Do you want to get a new model or just return it?"
Meng Liyue looked at his profile.
The sharp lines convey an indifference that keeps people away from you.
The ring in her hand suddenly felt heavy.
Does this count as a formal gift from Li Fuzheng to her?
And it's a wedding ring.
I should be very happy, but once I get involved with Xu Moti...
"actually……"
Just as Meng Liyue was about to explain, the phone on the center console suddenly rang. He scanned the caller ID and answered directly on the speaker: "Mom, what's going on?"
"Yueyue's mother and I are having dinner at the airport. Have you come home yet?" Ms. Shen explained her purpose very straightforwardly. "I haven't been to your house since you bought it. Can we come over as guests?"
Li Fuzheng's face darkened, with the tip of his tongue touching his teeth. He finally understood why his mother had asked him in the morning whether he could return to the city today.
Turning his head to look at Meng Liyue's somewhat flustered eyes, Li Fuzheng slowly replied: "We are almost home."
"Okay! We'll be there soon!"
He hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator and reminded Meng Liyue: "I'm going to go back and clean up the room."
She nodded quickly.
Neither of the two elders knew that they were...not sharing a room yet.
Before, Li Fuzheng said that he would wait for her to get used to it.
However, Meng Liyue herself couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
She wanted to get closer to Li Fuzheng more than anyone else, but she was afraid that if she got too close, she would no longer be able to control her overwhelming emotions.
The topic of diamond rings was not so important at the moment. The two of them got home as quickly as possible. Li Fuzheng wasted no time and strode into the guest room.
Before she could react, he entered the master bedroom with a bunch of stuff in his arms and asked her very gentlemanly, "Put it aside for a while?"
“Let it go…”
Meng Liyue stood aside, feeling a little helpless. She didn't know what to do and could only watch Li Fuzheng clean up.
It didn't take long to stock the master bedroom closet with his shirts, uniform, hat, and even his spare flight epaulettes.
On the dressing table, there were a few more pairs of his sunglasses, a suitcase, an overnight bag, and some miscellaneous items, which were also placed in the master bedroom.
Li Fuzheng hesitated briefly, nodded with satisfaction, and strode to the guest guard.
The plumbing in the master bathroom had just been repaired today. The man's razor, toothbrush, and essential toiletries were all neatly placed on the sink in the master bedroom bathroom, next to Meng Liyue's belongings.
Originally, when she was alone, the master bedroom was a little empty, but now it was packed full in a short time, no more than twenty minutes.
They were still in the bedroom when the doorbell rang.
“…It seems to be them.”
Meng Liyue's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"I'll go open the door." Li Fuzheng walked past her and rubbed her head with his palm. "It's okay."
The gentle movement was quickly withdrawn, but the residual heat continued to simmer.
Meng Liyue took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down, and went out. The two ladies walked arm in arm, admiring the surroundings happily.
Ms. Shen quickly pulled her to her side and said, "This is indeed the only decent residential area near the airport. Are you used to living here, Yueyue?"
Meng Liyue nodded obediently: "I'm used to it."
"That's good. It's mainly for your convenience in work. Otherwise, you can just live in the city."
“In fact, the facilities here are quite complete now.”
Mother Meng was also very satisfied with the environment here. She withdrew her gaze and asked Meng Liyue: "Have you had dinner?"
“We ate at work.”
Ms. Shen immediately frowned and said, "Li Fuzheng, it's fine that you don't cook at home, but you also let Yueyue eat in the cafeteria!"
"Auntie! It has nothing to do with him..." Meng Liyue rushed to explain, "We get off work very late, so we usually eat at work."
"Okay... Let's go. Yueyue is so busy at work, take good care of her."
Li Fuzheng poured out two glasses of water, handed them to the two ladies respectively, and raised his eyebrows: "Got it."
"Yueyue." Ms. Shen smiled at Meng Liyue again and winked. "Do you mind if I go to your bedroom?"
"……ah?"
"Don't worry, I'm not looking at anything, I'm just checking the Feng Shui!"
Meng Liyue's lips trembled: "You also know this?"
"As a businessman, who doesn't believe in Feng Shui?"
"Then go ahead..."
Seeing the two mothers walking towards the bedroom, Li Fuzheng leaned against the dining table and spread his arms towards them, obviously having expected this.
Meng Liyue pursed her lips and could only be thankful that he did have foresight.
The two ladies didn't stay long. They came out quickly, chatted for a few minutes and left.
The purpose is clear, looking at Feng Shui is fake, confirming the marriage status of Meng Liyue and Li Fuzheng is real.
After sending them out, he came back and fixed his eyes on Meng Liyue for a moment. He said in a deep voice, "Wait for me. I'll go clean up."
"Li Fu Zheng!" She suddenly called his name, her tone somewhat urgent.
"What?"
Meng Liyue suppressed the emotions in her eyes and mustered up the courage to tell him: "That diamond ring...Xu Moti also has the same one."
"How did she know that you bought me a ring?" The woman's tone of voice was a little complaining and a little coquettish. "She just wanted to piss me off on purpose."
