"Come here."
"I...I'm so sleepy, oh dear, I can barely keep my eyes open, no, no, I have to go to sleep right now." Lin Yue immediately pretended to close her eyes and prepared to slip away.
"Come here and let me hug you."
"Hmm? A hug?" Judging from his tone, he didn't seem angry. Lin Yue immediately put on an innocent expression and walked over. Song Yunzheng pulled her into his arms, his strong arms tightly encircling her slender waist like iron hoops, his head resting against her neck, the faint fragrance wafting into her nostrils. "Sweetie, you have more mischievous ideas than the stars in the sky!"
"Huh? What's wrong?" He continued to play dumb.
Song Yunzheng rubbed her head and said, "Since you hate that ring so much, why don't you just throw it away? It would save you time and effort."
"It's such a waste to throw it away! It's a diamond ring, very expensive. It would be much better to sell it for money."
"You little money-grubber, all you care about is money. I haven't seen you use the card I gave you."
"How could that be? I was just worried about how hard my husband works." As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around his neck like a koala and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, accidentally leaving a little hickey. Oh no, he has to go to work tomorrow.
She quickly wiped it with her hand, then immediately looked miserable, "Honey, what should I do? I think I gave you a hickey."
"It's okay, I'll just plant it in you too." With that, he picked her up and carried her toward the bedroom.
The next morning, Song Yunzheng yanked Lin Yue out of her warm bed, pointing to his face, "What should we do?"
Lin Yue rubbed her still sleepy eyes, slowly pulled open the collar of her pajamas, like a lazy kitten, and pointed to her neck, "Hmm, I wanted to ask that too." She didn't even need to look in the mirror to imagine that her neck, chest, shoulders, back, and even her lower abdomen were covered with his hickeys.
By day, he was serene and refined, like a gentleman; by night, however, he was savage and brutal, like a wild beast out of control, grabbing her and devouring her wildly. Dr. Song's stark contrast truly made him both lovable and infuriating...
Looking at her helpless little expression, Song Yunzheng pursed his lips, smiled sheepishly like a child who had done something wrong, and then silently walked into the dressing room.
In the farm canteen, Lin Yue ate her meal while staring at her phone screen. The number of bidders was increasing, and the price was rising accordingly, already exceeding ten thousand.
Lin Yue was overjoyed, not caring whether it was a diamond ring worth millions or not; as long as it disappeared from her sight, that would be wonderful.
In the end, the ring was sold for 50,000 yuan. Even though she knew she was losing money, Lin Yue was as happy as if she had won the lottery. The eyesore was gone, and she even got a sum of money—it was like a windfall! Why wouldn't she take it?
Lin Yue excitedly sent a WeChat message to Song Yunzheng: "Honey, it sold! 50,000! How about that? Aren't I amazing?"
Song Yunzheng smiled helplessly. A ring worth over a million yuan was sold for a paltry fifty thousand yuan, and she's still so happy. Well, as long as she's happy.
"That's great, I'll cook you something delicious tonight."
"Okay, but the buyer will be picking up the goods tonight."
"Come pick it up in person? Or mail it?" Upon hearing that a stranger was coming to his house, Song Yunzheng frowned instinctively, feeling a deep-seated resistance.
“The buyer said it was close by, so there was no need for so much trouble. She came directly over after get off work.”
"Okay, but you're not allowed in our house!"
"Okay!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang.
"It must be the buyer coming to pick up the goods." Lin Yue ran over to open the door, but her smile froze the moment she opened it. "Meng...Teacher Meng? What brings you here?"
Hearing the door open in the kitchen, Song Yunzheng quickly wiped his hands and came out. He was stunned when he saw who it was, but reacted after a second. "Meng Wanning? What are you doing here? Is something wrong?"
Meng Wanning lowered her head slightly, revealing a gentle smile, her long brown hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall. "I am the buyer, Asuka."
Lin Yue froze, her body rooted to the spot, motionless. She neither moved aside nor shooed the other person away. A sudden unease settled in her heart, a dull ache in her chest. This ring was custom-made by Song Yunzheng at a high price. She had missed out on it before, yet she was still unwilling to give up. No wonder she placed the order so readily!
Lin Yue gripped her phone tightly, her face darkening. Without hesitation, she opened the transfer interface, returned all the money she had just received, and said coldly, "I'm not selling the ring anymore." Then, she looked up at the person in front of her with icy eyes and continued, "Here, the money has been returned to you. Please check it. If there's nothing else, Ms. Meng, you can leave now."
