Chapter 14 The Ring
Shen's Group.
Sitting at his desk, Shen Yichen's mind was filled with the angry and disgusted expression on Qin Shuzhi's face when she left the hospital yesterday.
He knew he was in the wrong and had wronged her, but when he thought about how she had called him "trash" and slapped him, he couldn't bring himself to make peace.
After a moment of silence, he opened the first drawer of his desk, took out the exquisite gift box, and opened it.
Inside was a necklace he had bought at an auction house; it was a birthday gift he gave to Qin Shuzhi.
I had planned to put it on her head myself when we cut the cake on her birthday night, but alas...
He left before the cake was even cut that night.
Thinking about how he had left her alone on the mountain, Shen Yichen felt guilty.
Looking at the gift that hadn't yet been delivered to her, he finally softened.
That's enough.
Why not give her a way out?
Shen Yichen overcame his strong sense of pride, picked up his phone, and opened Qin Shuzhi's WeChat chat window.
I've had someone reserve a table at Lant Restaurant. Shall we have dinner together tonight?
He finished editing the text message, looked at it for a while, and was about to press the send button when a "ding" sounded, and a message from Chen Jin came into WeChat.
Congratulations, bro.
Shen Yichen stared at the words appearing at the top of the screen, frowned in confusion, then exited the chat with Qin Shuzhi and replied to Chen Jin, "What?"
Chen Jin: [Not bad, you managed to appease her in just one day.]
Shen Yichen was even more puzzled, so he made a phone call directly.
As soon as the call connected, he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Still pretending with me? I just saw Shuzhi go to buy a wedding ring."
Chen Jin asked with a smile, "What, are you planning to get your marriage certificate?"
Shen Yichen looked stunned. "You mean... Shuzhi went to buy a wedding ring?"
"Yeah, you didn't know?"
Receiving no response, Chen Jin clicked his tongue and teased, "So... you made her happy, and then she took the initiative to pick out a wedding ring for you?"
"Wow, I'm really curious, how did you manage to make someone so devoted to you? I heard from the sales clerk that the young lady was very careful in choosing a ring for her husband..."
Shen Yichen's usually cold and stern eyes gradually softened with a smile because of Chen Jin's words.
He gave Chen Jin a few perfunctory words and then hung up the phone.
Putting down his phone, Shen Yichen smiled smugly.
It seems she realized she had been unreasonable yesterday and wanted to take the initiative to make peace with him.
That would be the best outcome if she were willing to back down.
With that thought in mind, Shen Yichen picked up his phone again and deleted the WeChat message he had just edited and was about to send to Qin Shuzhi.
Then, in a great mood, he continued to handle the work at hand, single-mindedly waiting for Qin Shuzhi to come to him.

night.
Shi Yuanxing and his friends arranged to have dinner at a Thai restaurant.
The restaurant was chosen by Qi Yishan.
Watching Shi Yuanxing take such good care of Qin Shuzhi during the meal, Qi Yishan felt gratified.
She genuinely hoped that her best friend could have a happy marriage.
Since her scumbag brother couldn't give it to her, she hoped this man could.
Qi Yishan refilled Shi Yuanxing's glass with wine, saying, "Mr. Shi Yuanxing, from now on, my sister's happiness is in your hands."
Shi Yuanxing nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of her."
“Simply caring for someone is not enough.”
Qi Yishan said with a serious face, "You must be devoted to her, you can't flirt with other women, and you must always put her first. Can you do that?"
"certainly."
Shi Yuanxing looked at Qin Shuzhi beside him, "These... are the most basic things I, as a husband, should do."
Meeting his gentle and sincere gaze, Qin Shuzhi's heart skipped a beat.
"Not bad, quite enlightened."
Qi Yishan raised her glass to Shi Yuanxing with satisfaction, "Then let's drink to this, from now on we're family."
Shi Yuanxing raised his glass and lightly clinked it with hers, saying, "Thank you for your recognition."
The meal was enjoyable, and all three of us drank some alcohol, though only a little, which was not suitable for driving.
Shi Yuanxing and Qi Yishan waited for her designated driver to arrive and watch her get into the car and leave before getting into their own car.
I'm home.
Qin Shuzhi took a deep breath, turned around and said to the man who came in to change his shoes, "You... could you come here for a moment? I have something for you."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the sofa.
"……good."
Shi Yuanxing changed his shoes and quickly followed her, sitting down next to her.
Then he saw Qin Shuzhi take an exquisite jewelry box out of her bag.
"This is……"
He looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Whether it was from drinking or something else, a thin blush appeared on the woman's face.
"This is the wedding ring I bought. Take a look and see if you like it."
Qin Shuzhi handed him the jewelry box.
Shi Yuanxing's breath hitched, and something surged violently in his dark eyes.
He took the box, stared at it for a few seconds, and then looked up at Qin Shuzhi.
Did you buy this while shopping today?
"Um."
Shi Yuanxing looked down at the jewelry box in his hand. His fingers trembled slightly as he opened it, overwhelmed with emotion.
Inside are two simple and elegant wedding rings.
Why...did you suddenly decide to buy this?
The man's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice, though strained to be quiet, carried a barely perceptible hint of surprise.
"It wasn't sudden."
Qin Shuzhi scratched his head and explained, "We're married now, so buying wedding rings is perfectly normal, isn't it?"
Feeling a burning gaze upon her, she was a little embarrassed by Shi Yuanxing's reaction. "Uh~ if you don't like it or don't want to wear it..."
"I like it, I really like it," Shi Yuanxing said very quickly.
"I just... didn't expect you to buy our wedding rings, it was a bit of a surprise."
He gazed intently at her, "But I'm very happy."
Qin Shuzhi's face flushed slightly under his gaze. "Then try it on quickly. If it doesn't fit, I can take it to get the size altered."
Shi Yuanxing handed the opened box to her, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Mrs. Shi, would you like me to put it on?"
"good."
Qin Shuzhi took out the men's ring, took his left hand, and put the ring on his ring finger.
His hands have distinct knuckles, which are very sexy and beautiful. The simple and elegant ring on them adds to the sense of composure of a "married man".
"The size is just right."
After Shi Yuanxing finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that when they watched the movie last night, she seemed to have wrapped a hair tie around his ring finger a few times.
At the time, he thought she was just engrossed in watching the movie and it was an unconscious action. Now he realizes that she was secretly measuring his size.
Mrs. Shi is truly... thoughtful and adorable.
Shi Yuanxing's eyes and brows were filled with joy. He raised the hand with the ring on it and promised Qin Shuzhi, "Thank you, Mrs. Shi. I will always wear this wedding ring."
"Um."
Qin Shuzhi could tell from his expression that he was genuinely happy.
