Yesterday, he even sent someone to deliver a custom-made jewelry box containing a pigeon blood ruby ring, saying it was a wedding gift for her. His tone still carried a hint of barely perceptible arrogance, but he couldn't hide the nervousness in his eyes.
Yu Jiuyuan opened the message sent by Lin Yanran. The content was in his usual style: "The wedding jewelry must be the best. Don't let others laugh at us."
A hint of a smile flickered in her eyes. This man, who said one thing but meant another, always did the gentlest things with the most arrogant tone.
"Miss, Mr. Xie just sent a message saying that the design draft of the invitation has been revised and asking when you will have time to take a look."
Her assistant's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Yu Jiuyuan withdrew her gaze and put on a sweet smile again: "Have him send me the electronic version, I'll look at it now."
She opened the email sent by Xie Zhecheng.
The invitation design perfectly matched her requirements. The serif font was elegant and sophisticated, and the gold-stamped lily of the valley pattern on the corners was exquisite and delicate. The back was printed with her and Rong Shenghan's names in a tender and affectionate font, as if telling a touching love story.
But only Yu Jiuyuan knew that, for her, this wedding was nothing more than a perfect ending for her relationship with them.
She was to wear the most gorgeous wedding dress during graduation season and marry the seemingly unpredictable man who had already submitted to her, surrounded by three equally devoted "followers".
My phone vibrated again. It was a message from Yuan Xu: "Yuan Yuan, the experiment on the preserved flower was a success. Come to the lab when you have time, and I'll show you the first white lisianthus that was successfully cultivated."
Yu Jiuyuan replied with a sweet emoji, her fingertips swiping across the screen, when she saw a message from Lin Yanran: "The final sample of the jewelry is ready. I'll take you to try it on this weekend. If you're not satisfied, I'll have the craftsman modify it immediately."
She replied to each one, her tone gentle and her attitude intimate, every word perfectly tugging at their heartstrings.
As the sun set, its golden rays bathed her in a gentle glow.
Yu Jiuyuan stood at the end of the Ginkgo Avenue, gazing at the iconic clock tower of Saint Cherry Academy in the distance, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
That evening, Rong Shenghan came to pick her up on time.
A black Maybach was parked beside the Ginkgo Avenue. He was wearing a well-tailored dark suit, his posture was upright, and his face had the same gentle smile as always.
Seeing Yu Jiuyuan approach, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he got out of the car to open the door for her.
"Have you chosen the fabric for your wedding dress today?" Rong Shenghan asked, his fingertips casually brushing through her hair with the utmost gentleness.
"Yes, I chose a cream-colored silk blend, and changed the embroidery to lily of the valley and thorns." Yu Jiuyuan got into the car, turned her head to look at him, and smiled sweetly. "Don't you think it looks bad?"
"I'm glad you like it." Rong Shenghan started the car, his gaze fixed on the road ahead, his tone gentle. "However, the thorn pattern does suit your personality quite well."
Yu Jiuyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him.
This person always manages to inadvertently reveal her deepest, most hidden side.
She feigned surprise, widening her eyes: "Baby, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Rong Shenghan glanced at her, a gentle smile still on his face: "It's nothing, I just think this pattern is very special, just like you, it makes people want to explore it."
But his eyes clearly said, "What are you pretending for, darling?"
He didn't point it out, and she didn't admit it either.
A faint fragrance filled the carriage, mingling with the subtle ambiguity and tentative advances between the two.
As the car drove towards the Japanese restaurant, Yu Jiuyuan leaned against the window, watching the night view rush by outside, her eyes calm.
