Chapter 83 Can I have the ring?
Guan Ju stared at the red velvet box in her hand for a full fifteen minutes, maintaining the same posture without making a sound, her fingers bent and resting on her chin, lost in thought.
To send it or not to send it?
I'm a little undecided right now.
Guan Ju gently stroked the red velvet gift box with her thumb, placed it on the edge of the gap, and used the force to push the lid upwards. The gift box was opened, revealing two simple plain rings inside.
The plain ring was custom-made the day after Zhao Mingzhuo's engagement. It's from a niche brand that Wen Song likes. The design is relatively simple, and the inside is engraved with the letters of the two people's names - "S&S".
Originally, Guan Ju had planned to give it to Wen Song during the Chinese New Year, but now she was hesitant.
Once a ring is given, it symbolizes eternity.
His feelings for Wen Song were naturally without any problem, but—
It wasn't that Guan Ju didn't believe Wen Song's feelings; Song Lanxue's words kept echoing in his ears, and he knew clearly that a Beta as obedient and docile as Wen Song would never lie or hide his emotions.
However, Song Lanxue's surgery was successful, and she will definitely return to Qingshan Town after a period of recovery.
What about Wen Song?
Will the other party return to Qingshan Town with Song Lanxue?
Guan Ju didn't know.
But he knew that Wen Song didn't like Suicheng, didn't like the Wen family, and didn't like facing uninteresting social interactions and people all day long. He was only here to treat Song Lanxue's illness. He would eventually return to his roots, and that was her home.
He couldn't help but wonder if his existence would be a burden for Wen Song.
Guan Ju stared at the ring in the red velvet gift box and couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating smile.
Unexpected.
It's astonishing that someone as proud and self-assured as him would have such a thought.
All of this was because of what Zhao Mingzhuo said at the bar that day, which made Guan Ju start to think seriously and understand more and more clearly Wen Song's attachment to Qingshan Town.
but---
He was never one to keep things to himself.
You must ask clearly about everything.
As for the ring, we'll see what Wen Song's answer is before deciding whether or not to give it away.
Guan Ju didn't want to use a ring to keep Wen Song in Suicheng, even if she did have selfish motives and malicious intentions, but—
"Are you occupied?"
Suddenly, a gentle, clear voice came from the doorway of the room.
Guan Ju was so engrossed in staring at the ring that she didn't even notice Wen Song coming to the living room.
Just as she was about to put the ring away and hide it, she was a step too slow and was spotted by Wen Song, who was walking slowly to the sofa.
The other person stared at what he was holding with great curiosity and asked:
"A ring?"
With a "click," the red velvet gift box was closed.
The two voices spoke almost simultaneously.
Guan Ju: ""
His actions were far too obvious, as if he was deliberately concealing the existence of the ring.
Wen Song blinked.
Did I ruin the surprise you were going to prepare?
The main problem was that he woke up to find it was already dark, and there was no one else in the room except him.
He then decided to go to the living room to see what Guan Sui was doing.
Unexpectedly, I happened to see the other person holding a red velvet gift box, which is usually used to hold rings.
I guess my brain was completely shut down from sleeping, so I asked the question without thinking too much.
"It doesn't count." Guan Ju no longer concealed anything.
"Then what did you just do—?" Wen Song wasn't blind.
He is indeed extremely insensitive to many things, and may not be able to perceive subtle emotions, but he can see through such obvious behavior at a glance.
"I wanted to give it to you later," Guan Ju said, half-jokingly, "Tonight is New Year's Eve."
After saying that, he waved to Wen Song and patted the sofa next to him.
"Aren't you feeling unwell? Don't stand, come and sit down."
Wen Song walked with a slightly awkward gait, slowly making his way to the sofa, leaning against Guan Ju, and then sitting down with extremely slow movements.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the red velvet gift box in Guan Ju's hand, his curiosity impossible to hide. He said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that today is New Year's Eve."
Then, unable to contain his emotions, he began to sigh:
Time flies.
"My grandmother's surgery is in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Guan Ju put his arm around Wen Song's shoulder to comfort him: "Don't worry, the surgery will definitely be successful. The doctor said that Grandma's condition is currently optimistic, with a probability of at least 80%."
"The treatment was timely and the situation is well controlled. It's still in the early stages, so there's nothing to worry about."
"Besides, I'll be here with you."
Wen Song nodded, the tension in his heart finally disappearing, and he felt at ease.
"OK."
Guan Ju gazed at Beta's profile in his arms, thinking about the issue that had been bothering him these past few days, and asked directly, "After Grandma's surgery, have you thought about what to do next?"
Wen Song answered truthfully, "I'll rent a two-bedroom apartment and see how Grandma's recovery is going."
Guan Ju pressed further, "It will definitely recover very well, and then what are your plans?"
Wen Song pondered for a moment.
Although it had only been a few seconds, Guan Ju felt as if each second was an eternity. Just a second ago, she was telling Wen Song not to be nervous, but now she herself was tense.
Finally, he heard Wen Song say, word by word:
"Send Grandma back to Qingshan Town."
"And what about you?"
Upon hearing these three words, Wen Song turned his head to look at Guan Ju, who was standing close by, and instead of answering directly, asked, "Do you want me to stay in Suicheng?"
The question was posed to Guan Ju for an answer.
If I say—
Before Guan Ju could answer, Wen Song said, "If you want me to stay in Suicheng, I will stay."
At this moment, Guan Ju's troubles of so many days were finally resolved.
He had considered abducting Wen Song to get a marriage certificate, or locking her up and keeping her by his side first, and absolutely not allowing her to leave his side even for a moment.
But---
Wensong is free.
Song Lanxue also needs someone to take care of her.
He could not have acted this way out of selfishness.
"What about Grandma?" Guan Ju was quite concerned about this.
Wen Song lowered his head: "My maternal grandmother is taken care of by my uncles and the others, and I will go back to visit her often."
Qingshan Town is very close to Suicheng, only a two-hour drive away. Aside from not being able to take care of me personally, I can go back anytime on weekends.
"so---"
He lifted his eyelids and looked at the red velvet gift box.
"Can I have the ring now?"
