Chapter 170: This misery is too obvious!
Wen Duo found the housekeeper who was carefully checking the list of items.
She pulled the person aside to make sure there were no "spying eyes" around, then lowered her voice and began to excitedly describe her "astonishing plan":
"Uncle housekeeper, hurry up! Help me clean up and decorate the greenhouse!"
"Those flowers that can be arranged into a heart shape, do so. If they can't be arranged, trim them to make them more beautiful!"
"That rest area in the middle needs to be especially well-designed. Make it super romantic, like a love confession scene in a movie!"
"Oh, and put a piano next to it! It will be so romantic when we play it!"
"Also, the ring..."
Wen Duo paused, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
They had wedding rings, but she remembered that Ji Huaishen seemed to have put them away, so she probably didn't take them.
Just buy one?
Or a ready-made one?
That’s absolutely not possible!
So insincere!
Suddenly, an idea struck her.
Ji Huaishen is so good at drawing, let him design one himself and then find someone to make it immediately!
This way it’s both unique and perfect for testing his preferences!
Um!
That’s it!
The butler beside him was listening very carefully, nodding frequently and remembering every instruction given by the lady.
However, the more I listened, the more frightened I became, especially when words like "heart shape", "like a confession", and "romantic" came out of the mouth of the lovely lady, and the object was obviously my husband...
He could barely conceal the shock on his face, and his glasses even slipped down a bit.
So... Madam is being so grand and mysterious in order to... propose to you, sir?
Haven’t you and your wife been married for a long time?
this.......?
All right.
Even if this is just a hobby between husband and wife.
but.
The woman proposed?
Or it was the lady in front of him who usually looked soft and gentle and needed to be held and cared for by her husband!
This...is a bit too unorthodox!
But after the shock, looking at Wen Duo's eyes full of expectation and happiness, an indescribable emotion slowly rose in his heart.
How lucky it is for a man as aloof as the gentleman to be loved so warmly and sincerely by his wife.
"Okay, go and arrange for someone to clean up the greenhouse first, and do it quietly!"
Wen Duo waved her hand, interrupting the housekeeper's thoughts:
"Let's put the ring aside for now. By the way, does the villa have the tools and craftsmen to melt silver and carve jewelry?"
The butler quickly collected his thoughts, regained his professional demeanor, and replied respectfully:
"Yes, ma'am."
"Can you finish a ring in a day?" Wen Duo asked anxiously.
"It depends on the complexity of the design,"
The butler answered cautiously:
“But with the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, most designs should be able to be completed within a day.”
Wen Duo's eyes brightened when he heard this.
"Okay then! Go prepare the greenhouse first! The ring pattern...wait for my news!" She spoke quickly, with uncontrollable excitement.
After saying this, without waiting for the butler's response, Wen Duo turned around and ran away quickly, just like when he came.
She has more important things to do now!
Now, she wants to test the opinion of the person in the bedroom about the ring!
........
Walking on the road, Wen Duo was very worried.
"How can I say this without arousing his suspicion..."
"Hmm... just tell him you want to learn design and ask him to teach you how to draw basic patterns?"
"No, no, he must know that I don't like painting very much."
"Or maybe you lied and said your friend wanted to have a custom ring made, and asked him to draw a sketch for reference?"
"My only close friend is Jiang Zuiyue. He hates Jiang Zuiyue so much, so he probably can't draw..."
"Ahhhhh, what should I do?"
Wen Duo bit her lip and finally decided to act according to the circumstances.
She gently pushed open the bedroom door and saw Ji Huaishen leaning lazily on the sofa.
Her long legs were casually crossed, her fingertips tapping unconsciously on the armrest, and she looked both dignified and somewhat relaxed, a rare sight.
He looked up when he heard the door open.
The moment their eyes met, his deep eyes suddenly focused, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, causing tiny ripples, and the light of the whole world fell on her alone.
"Aren't you busy?"
His voice was low, with a slight hoarseness from just relaxing:
"Why are you here?"
Wen Duo tried hard to suppress her guilty conscience, forced out a smile that she thought was extremely natural, and walked over briskly:
"Hey, I came to see you. I was afraid you would be bored alone."
She sat down next to him, avoiding his gaze and pretending to look around:
"If you're bored in your bedroom, why not go to the gym, paint, or play some games?"
Ji Huaishen turned his head and fixed his gaze on her face calmly. There was a rare, almost blank concentration in his eyes, and he whispered as if talking to himself:
"Without you, everything is boring."
Wen Duo: “???”
She knew that her husband had been very clingy lately, even a little... fickle.
but!
They had been apart for less than half an hour!
Is he so depressed?
This is too obvious a sale!
Stared at by her wide-open eyes that read "enough is enough," Ji Huaishen seemed to realize that he had overacted. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he coughed lightly, changing the subject imperceptibly.
"So, everything is done?"
"No." Wen Duo admitted honestly, his eyes wandering for a moment.
Ji Huaishen chuckled softly, then suddenly leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe:
"So... did you come here specially to accompany me?"
The distance was too close, and the refreshing and pleasant scent from him enveloped her, bringing with it an oppressive and tempting feeling that could not be ignored.
Wen Duo's heart was beating like a drum, and she forced herself to nod:
"yes."
"oh?"
His voice rose slightly at the end, with obvious joking:
"Do you think I believe it?"
Wen Duo: “….”
Seen through!
She was filled with shame and anger, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she stood up suddenly and was about to leave:
"Believe it or not!"
His wrist was grabbed by a gentle but irresistible force.
As the world spun around, she fell into a warm and solid embrace.
Ji Huaishen's arms wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly in his arms. His chin rested lightly on the top of her head, and he sighed softly. There was indulgence and a hint of imperceptible pleasure in his voice:
"Even if you lie to me, I'm willing to believe it."
Wen Duo felt his steady and strong heartbeat, and all her anger disappeared instantly, leaving only a tingling sweetness.
She twisted slightly in his arms, and finally calmed down, but she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and let out a very light and coquettish sound:
"Hmph, that's it~"
