Chapter 175: What's the point of giving a wedding ring if there's no proposal?
Given that she had gone a bit too far last night, Su Wanwan woke up a little late.
The dedicated Professor Xie has already rushed back to the school to teach and impart knowledge.
When Su Wanwan tried to get up, her legs almost gave way; she had indeed been too indulgent.
She glanced down at herself, some of the most severely damaged areas were almost unbearable to look at. Thinking of last night, she pursed her lips uncomfortably, and cursed him inwardly. Anyway, no matter who took the initiative, the result was his fault, so cursing him was definitely the right thing to do.
After washing up, I went downstairs for breakfast and glanced at the time; it was already past ten o'clock.
She had arranged to have lunch with Xie Yanning, so she didn't eat much.
After eating a little, I packed my bag and went to the school to find Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning got her a card that was like an employee's family member card, so she didn't have to register every time she entered or left the school.
Su Wanwan was already quite adept at it.
At this time of day, everyone at school is in class, and the campus is quite quiet.
It snowed last night, and there was a lot of snow piled up in the flower bushes I passed by. The sky was still overcast, and a cold wind was blowing.
Su Wanwan wasn't wearing a mask, and the wind hitting her face made her feel frozen. After thinking about it, she still felt that this kind of weather wasn't suitable for someone like her to be outside. She should have just stayed home and waited for Xie Yanning.
She quickly ran to Xie Yanning's office.
There is heating there.
There was no one in the office, of course.
Fortunately, it's getting late, and get out of class is almost over.
Su Wanwan sat on the sofa, scrolling through her phone. Xie Yanning returned shortly afterward.
"Have you been waiting a long time?" Xie Yanning hugged her and kissed her.
"Half an hour," Su Wanwan said.
Xie Yanning could roughly guess Su Wanwan's movements, and couldn't help but smile. "After we pack up, we can go out."
After finishing their meal, Su Wanwan dragged the person straight to the first-floor counter.
As a longtime friend, Su Wanwan knew Qi Yun's aesthetic sense well and picked out a brand-new diamond necklace for her.
After making their selections, Xie Yanning said, "Let's go somewhere."
Where to?
Xie Yanning didn't say anything, but drove over with the people.
Su Wanwan stood outside the gatehouse and blinked slowly. This was a century-old jewelry family, and every piece was said to be designed by top designers.
All that's said is to illustrate that this is a place that caters exclusively to the wealthy.
They specifically prey on—no, they specifically target—rich people.
Xie Yanning pulled the person inside.
The people inside smiled politely when they saw Xie Yanning: "Mr. Xie, Mrs. Xie, you've arrived."
"It's ready, please follow me."
Su Wanwan already had an idea in her mind.
What was taken out was a pair of matching rings for a man and a woman.
The men's version is relatively simple, with a lotus pattern engraved on it, while the women's version is a blooming lotus shape with a pink diamond in the center, which looks as big as her fingernail.
Its luxurious design is captivating at first glance.
Such a large pink diamond, not to mention designed by a famous designer, is beyond words except for expensive.
"Wanwan, bring me your hands," Xie Yanning said.
Su Wanwan extended her hand, and Xie Yanning placed the ring on the ring finger of Su Wanwan's left hand.
The moment she slipped it on, Su Wanwan suddenly felt a flutter in her heart.
It seems like we're really trapped.
Is this appropriate?
Su Wanwan came to her senses and guessed that Xie Yanning must have measured her finger size at some point, and the rings fit perfectly.
"Appropriate".
Just as Xie Yanning was about to close the book, Su Wanwan said, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Xie Yanning looked at her, "Hmm?"
Su Wanwan pursed her lips, picked up the men's ring, and put it on his hand. If he could help her put it on, why couldn't she?
Xie Yanning chuckled softly, "They look quite compatible."
"They were a perfect match to begin with, of course they're a good pair."
Xie Yanning's smile widened.
"You two are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman," the person opposite said with a smile.
On the way back, Su Wanwan kept looking at the ring on her hand and asked Xie Yanning, "Why are you wearing it on your ring finger? It's a wedding ring."
"We're already married, so of course it's a wedding ring."
“We only got the certificate abroad, not in China,” Su Wanwan asked tentatively. “What if someone asks? We can’t just say we got the certificate abroad, can we?”
"Do you really want others to know we're married?" Xie Yanning asked.
"..." Su Wanwan was at a loss for words when he asked her: "Otherwise, I can't wear it."
"Why not?"
Su Wanwan was speechless when asked, "Then wear it abroad."
"It's up to you," Xie Yanning said. "Now that you've put the ring on, you're mine."
"So you're getting your ring repaired?"
"Yes, everyone else has it when they get married, so of course we should too."
Su Wanwan was at a loss for words.
She was very happy to receive the ring, but why didn't Xie Yanning mention proposing at all? Was he counting on that marriage certificate from abroad?
Xie Yanning was driving and didn't pay much attention to Su Wanwan's emotions.
When I got home, I realized that I seemed to be feeling a little down.
"What's wrong? Don't you like the ring?" Xie Yanning asked.
"She's so pretty, of course I'd like her."
"Then why aren't you happy? Your brother also said that you like these colorful jewels the most, and this one is very rare." Xie Yanning wasn't trying to take credit; he just wanted to show that he had put thought into this.
"No, I'm very happy."
Xie Yanning pulled the person aside, "What's wrong? Tell me, okay?"
This doesn't sound like happiness.
"I'm really fine, just a little tired." Su Wanwan turned to go upstairs.
"Wanwan," Xie Yanning said from behind, "If there's anything wrong, please tell me. Sometimes I can't always guess what you're thinking." He thought Su Wanwan would be happy to receive the ring.
Su Wanwan paused, took a deep breath, and turned to ask Xie Yanning, "You didn't propose, so what's the point of giving me a wedding ring? Or are you saying you'll only wear this ring abroad? With that certificate, even if I marry someone else in China, you can't sue me for bigamy."
"Do you want to get married?" Xie Yanning asked.
"No!" Su Wanwan was furious and turned to leave.
Xie Yanning took two steps forward and grabbed the person, "Are you angry that I didn't propose?"
"No," Su Wanwan said, looking down.
But his expression clearly showed that his secret had been exposed.
Xie Yanning felt a mix of inexplicable emotions.
"Why do you think I don't want to marry you?" Xie Yanning pulled him into his arms. "I dream of marrying you, but your career is just starting out. If we get married, we'll face pressure to have children. It's not a matter of whether you want to or not. In the current environment, everyone will think that once you get married, you'll face the pressure of having children. These pressures are invisible."
“You’ve worked so hard to become a doctor all these years, not to give up and stay home as a wife and mother. We’re not married yet, so they’ll only pressure me, not you. I hope you can become a good doctor, at least to establish yourself in these crucial years.”
The medical profession can sometimes be considered a glamorous profession, but it can also be a very cruel one.
"Is that why?"
Su Wanwan herself never expected that Xie Yanning could think so much for her.
"Otherwise what?" Xie Yanning gently pinched her waist. "You're heartless enough to doubt me just because of this? And you're even thinking about bigamy?"
"I... I thought you didn't want to marry me."
