Chapter 222: The Bomb in the Box
They thought they would become the focus because they were out of tune with the environment, but they didn't expect that they would be too eye-catching and become the background for people to check in. During the meal, they took photos with at least seven or eight groups of guests. After all, their "world of two" was too crowded.
"You're right, home is good." Jiang Yunhui was a little depressed and obviously impatient.
But Xiang Nuan was surprisingly relaxed and cheerful. Not only did she happily cooperate with the photo taking, she also greeted and chatted with everyone and even exchanged their favorite dishes with each other, just like the hostess of a family banquet.
If it were an ordinary day, Jiang Yunhui would definitely fall into her gentle and friendly charm, but today he was worried and just wanted some quiet and romantic time alone.
The night lights on the viewing platform lit up at the right time, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Everyone went out to enjoy the night view, finally giving them some rare space.
"I'm so sorry," Jiang Yunhui said in a much lower voice, "Life must be boring with me."
"Hmm, it's still tasteless," Xiang Nuan picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, enjoying the impact of the bursting juice with satisfaction, "There are so many delicious things, but we can't eat them while they're hot."
As expected, he is the number one expert in fighting against pretentiousness. Jiang Yunhui's affection was shattered in a second.
"You really are a very strange person!" He leaned back in his seat, kept his distance and looked at her from head to toe as if he was meeting her for the first time.
"Look at those girls outside," he pouted his chin, pointing at those who were checking in with various poses in the evening breeze, "They wear carefully selected clothes, put on exquisite makeup, and retouch every moment of their lives. These are clearly within your reach, but you don't care. It's like you are deliberately singing a different tune from this world, free and easy, straightforward, rough and flamboyant, you don't fit in and don't seem to belong to this world."
Xiang Nuan drank a large spoonful of bamboo shoot soup, looking confused and detached at Jiang Yunhui's improvisation of the long lines.
What?
Jiang Yunhui was so angry that he was speechless. He finally understood what it meant to wink at a blind man.
She did it on purpose. This little bitch, whenever he got serious, affectionate, or sentimental, even if there was just a little sign of it, she would definitely act stupid and unmoved!
Jiang Yunhui bit his lower lip and took out an exquisite jewelry box like a magic trick. His movements were so fast that she didn't have time to react.
As expected, she instinctively retreated and went into defense mode.
This small box is a time bomb in beautiful disguise, just like his suit, which is full of murderous intent.
“The scenery outside is so beautiful!”
The moment she stood up, Jiang Yunhui grabbed her at lightning speed. He almost teleported behind her and "buckled" her tightly to the seat.
"I happened to come across Selina's jewelry design exhibition when I went to France this time. I saw this piece at first sight. It's especially suitable for you."
He deliberately leaned over her shoulder, his voice brushing past her ears, stirring up a blush. He shook the small box in front of her, feeling her obviously tense muscles and gradually quickening breathing.
The box was about to be opened, and Xiang Nuan grabbed his hand.
"This is too valuable. If you sell it to me, I can't afford it."
Jiang Yunhui smiled so wickedly. He suddenly realized why Xiang Nuan's reaction was so abnormal. From not letting him wear formal clothes, to deliberately getting close to everyone to avoid being alone with them, to now a small box made her nervous... Was she also expecting this in her heart?
"What are you thinking about?" He gently kissed her earlobe. The electric shock almost made Xiang Nuan collapse.
"Have you seen how many cell phones are pointing at you and taking pictures?" Xiang Nuan still wanted to find some room for maneuver.
"Then let's witness it together."
"Jiang Yunhui..."
The box opened suddenly, and Xiang Nuan's breathing almost stopped.
A necklace.
The pendant was a pair of interlocking rings, one large and one small, like a pair of rings. But it was not the ring that carried a special mission in the legend. Xiang Nuan felt like she was alive again.
Jiang Yunhui gently helped her put it on and held her cheek from behind. Her skin was burning hot, and the starlight in her eyes made the entire night scene pale in comparison.
He couldn't control himself anymore and gave her a gentle kiss.
Oh - the scene was filled with jubilation, and all kinds of flashlights were turned on. Even the actors who were responsible for the atmosphere in idol dramas did not react so enthusiastically.
Xiang Nuan was so embarrassed that she covered her face tightly with her hands.
“So sweet!”
"What day is today? Is it your wedding anniversary?"
"Why are you two acting like a couple? You're an old married couple and you're still so romantic!"
"The secret to keeping love fresh for a long time."
"Be happy forever!"
Jiang Yunhui was so happy that he couldn't even describe how happy he was. Why aren't you chatting with everyone now? Xiang Nuan showed one eye from between her fingers and looked at him pitifully for help.
"Thank you for liking me and my wife. I hope everyone can cherish the people around them and enjoy the present moment."
Oh my god, Jiang Yunhui, who usually only spoke one or two words during the interview, actually said so many words! Today's meal is really worth it. I don't have this experience even if I buy tickets specially.
Instead of dispersing, more and more people gathered together, and Xiang Nuan's eyes began to beg for mercy.
"You should have been allowed to wear a suit," she muttered quietly.
Jiang Yunhui laughed indulgently, took her hand and led her away from the crowd.
Only when the hustle and bustle behind him became farther and farther away did Xiang Nuan heave a sigh of relief. Oh my god, don't make any appointments casually in the future. I can't bear it!
She looked down at the pair of glittering rings around her neck and couldn't help but pick them up to examine them carefully. There seemed to be words engraved on the inside of the rings, and she moved them closer to her eyes to see what they were, but it was dark and she couldn't see clearly.
"I'm feeling hungry now," Jiang Yunhui observed her expression while driving: "Let's go eat something."
"No, no, no..." Xiang Nuan was so anxious that she pursed her lips.
"But I can't let you go hungry. I know a quiet family here, and you won't be disturbed."
"Jiang Yunhui! Go home!"
She was really anxious and couldn't calm the situation down without yelling a few words.
"Wow, you're so fierce."
Jiang Yunhui turned the steering wheel in a wronged manner, and the car drove into the downtown area. Seeing that the direction of travel was obviously deviating from the home, Xiang Nuanqi pinched his arm.
"You are deliberately disturbing the driver, do you know that?" Jiang Yunhui held her hand tightly with one hand and skillfully operated the steering wheel with the other hand.
After a while, they drove into a secluded courtyard. As he said, it was as quiet as a private residence, and those who didn't know wouldn't notice it at all.
Isn't this... bad? Those who can come here must be insiders. Wouldn't it be even more awkward if I met someone I know? We can't just "die" for the sake of a world for two, right?
"Come on, the sequel to tonight." Jiang Yunhui opened the car door and extended his hand to her.
"What else did you bring from France? Just give me this, there's no need to renew it, really."
Xiang Nuan almost begged for mercy, but Jiang Yunhui, with a malicious intent, pulled her out.
“The sense of ritual is very important.”
"Don't worry about those empty words."
"Really? Then I will..."
Jiang Yunhui's knee suddenly went weak and he was about to kneel down. Xiang Nuan was so frightened that she lost her voice and color, and instinctively grabbed his collar to stop him.
"Jiang Yunhui, you dare!"
"Dare what?"
"You bastard!"
Jiang Yunhui hugged her tightly in his arms and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't joke about this. One day I will marry you home openly! Believe me."
"I don't believe it."
Xiang Nuan pushed him and he staggered.
