A ring isn't something you just give away casually.
The father was covered in sweat and was about to help his daughter refuse when he heard her suddenly laugh behind him.
He turned his head and saw that Shen Wangshu had already stepped forward and was holding the ring in her hand.
Rings aren't something you can just accept anywhere.
Mr. Shen was probably middle-aged and lacked energy, so he suddenly felt dizzy.
He watched helplessly as the silly girl carelessly slipped the ring onto her finger. After a moment's effort, he wiped the cold sweat from his brow and stammered a smile at the young man, "This child is ignorant, taking whatever Master Xue has to offer. I haven't been a good host..." He was almost incoherent. He tried to wink at Shen Wangshu, urging her to return the hot ring to the young man, but seeing his beloved daughter turn her head away as if she hadn't seen him, he sighed and lowered his head to drink the now-cold tea in one gulp.
"This is hers," the young man said calmly.
"Hehe..." If he didn't know who this young man was, Mr. Shen would have liked to ask his daughter to be his good friend, but it was impossible.
This person's background is too crucial. Shen's father only wanted his daughter to meet an ordinary person, someone who didn't need to have an extraordinary life.
"Is this yours?" Shen Wangshu asked him with a smile.
“Now it’s yours,” the young man said earnestly.
Ever since he could remember, he would always dream of strange scenes in which two different men would appear alternately and marry a woman whose face was blurred, but whose eyes were so beautiful that they were unforgettable.
He watched as the two men slowly seemed to merge into one, cherishing his wife and protecting her with all his might. Even in his dream, he could still feel the man's happiness, and he could always hear someone telling him not to forget and to find the woman he loved.
He thought it was a predestined relationship from a past life, calling him to find his lover.
He didn't think it was bad.
Because it seemed that from the very first day he had a dream, he had fallen deeply in love with that woman.
He couldn't see her face clearly, but he instinctively knew that even if he didn't know what she looked like, he would know when he saw her that this was the lover he had been searching for.
Seeing the smiling Miss Shen looking at him with gentle and happy eyes, he knew he had found her.
"No, no, no..." Father Shen wanted to curry favor with the young man, but he never intended to sacrifice his daughter. He winked at Shen Wangshu and said with a forced smile, "My daughter is ignorant." He felt bitter inside, but dared not show it in front of the young man. For a moment, he felt so worried that his hair would turn white.
This young man wielded considerable power in Myanmar, commanding the most formidable armed forces and reportedly maintaining close ties with the Myanmar military. If that were all, Shen's father wouldn't have wanted to associate with him. However, this young man also controlled several of Myanmar's largest jade mines, as well as several gem and gold mines, forcing Shen's father to curry favor with him.
He had done some business with this young man and knew that if he angered him, Shen's Jewelry would probably run out of stock.
Not only various gemstones, but also jadeite. If you anger this person, who would dare to sell him raw jadeite?
The thought of the price of Burmese jadeite rough soaring like a rocket in recent years sent chills down Shen's spine.
Despite his concerns about the raw materials, he didn't want Shen Wangshu to get too close to the young man.
Moreover, his daughter was about to marry a boy from the Ouyang family, and Shen's father didn't want to cause any trouble at this time.
"Was this ring only given to me?" Shen Wangshu, not understanding her father's anxious heart, sat down on the sofa in front of the young man and asked with her chin in her hand.
“It’s my personal one,” the young man replied, sitting opposite her and ignoring the distorted expression on Shen’s face.
He knew what his father was worried about, but to him, these worries were not a big deal.
I really disagree with him being friends with the eldest daughter of the Shen family. If necessary, I'll just steal her and run away.
He's robbed guns, cannons, and all sorts of gem mines; his skills in robbing people are probably similar.
"It's a bit too big." Shen Wangshu turned the ring that was loosely slipped on her finger, feeling as if the young man's warmth still lingered on her finger, and couldn't help but smile.
The hatred she felt for Ouyang Yu and Gao Wanning after seeing them today had largely dissipated. She looked tenderly at her lover, whom she would soon see again. She saw a lingering confusion in his eyes, but even more so, a deep familiarity. She quickly covered her stinging eyes, but a sense of contentment and peace settled over her. She took off a platinum chain from her neck, slipped the ring on, and put it back on.
The young man watched silently as the heavy gemstone ring disappeared into her open collar, then shifted his crossed legs.
"Ah Xuan," he said, his voice a little hoarse.
“I know you are Ah Xuan.” Shen Wangshu nodded with a smile.
"Wang Shu." He lowered his eyes, a slight smile curving his lips, and said softly.
This wasn't the name of the eldest daughter of the Shen family, but he knew that it was her real name.
She was neither Song Lan nor the Imperial Concubine, but simply Wang Shu.
"This, this..." Before he knew it, the two had exchanged names so casually. He was frantic and didn't hear anything else clearly. He rubbed his hands for a long time, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked Shen Wangshu with a smile, "It's your good fortune that Master Xue values you. When you get married to that boy from the Ouyang family tomorrow, don't forget to invite Master Xue to attend!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the young man's face and saw a sudden surge of emotion in his dark eyes. He inwardly cried out that something was wrong.
