ring
Chen Qi'an finally signed up for the doctoral examination.
When he asked Zheng Hongwen for help in contacting the associate professor of the school he applied to for a recommendation, Zheng Hongwen was so happy that he immediately called and laughed for a long time.
After signing up, Dongyou clearly felt a lot of joy on Chen Qian'an's brows.
She felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
As Chen Qi'an's birthday is approaching, Dongyou has been carefully preparing a birthday present for him.
Mainly, this year’s birthday is a little different from previous years.
This was the first time she gave Chen Qi'an a gift as his wife. Previously, she only gave him a gift as his sister.
By the way, Chen Qian'an has just started preparing for the exam. In the past, Dong You wouldn't have to think too much about it and would have just given him a set of review materials.
But now.
Such a gift would be unfair to her current status.
With her current status, she can give something more meaningful and exclusive.
Thinking about this, she touched the last joint of her left ring finger.
In fact, she had already been thinking about and preparing for this when Jin Zhouzhe didn't believe that she was married because she didn't have a ring. It just so happened that Chen Qi'an's birthday was coming soon, and she planned to give it to him as a birthday present.
She was also conflicted. She felt that even after getting married, she was still the elder sister, and it might not be appropriate for an elder sister to give her this gift. She thought about it again and again, and a thought flashed through her mind: What if Chen Qi'an was also pursued by someone because she didn't wear a ring on her finger?
That would be terrible and would have a huge impact on Chen Qian'an.
So she contacted the designer to design the ring with peace of mind.
It took half a month, from the design of the ring to the selection of the ring materials, and I was closely monitoring the entire winter tour. Finally, I got it on the morning of Chen Qi'an's birthday.
There were two sparkling silver rings in the ring box. Dong You became more and more satisfied as he looked at them. He happily closed the ring box and prepared to work seriously. He would give the rings to Chen Qian'an after dinner at Chen's house in the evening.
Dongyou had just turned on her computer when her work call rang. At this time, usually only her secretary would remind her of her schedule for the day.
She picked up.
The secretary's businesslike voice was heard on the phone.
"From 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM, we'll have a morning meeting to hear department heads' reports on yesterday's work and today's key priorities. From 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, we'll discuss the progress of our collaboration on Project A with representatives from Company S. From 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, we'll have lunch. From 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM, we'll have a strategic seminar and plan the next quarter's business planning meeting. From 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM, we'll review documents." The secretary paused for a moment, then said, "That's all, President Dong."
"Representative of S Company? The mixed-race young master of the Jin family?" Dong You asked with a frown.
She heard the sound of shuffling papers on the other end of the phone, and soon the secretary's steady voice came: "Yes, President Dong."
"Okay, I understand."
"Click", the phone was hung up.
Dongyou opened the drawer and looked at the furry ring box inside, feeling a little conflicted.
Perhaps it is because the young master of the Jin family grew up abroad, and his style of doing things is a bit selfish.
Ever since he'd expressed his interest in Dongyou, his messages had been flooding her WeChat feed with greetings. The annoying thing was that he was always quick to the point: he'd start with a greeting, then talk about work, and then drift off into personal matters. This annoyed Dongyou.
But this cooperation was too important, and she couldn't afford to break up with him, so she had to concentrate and practice Tai Chi with him slowly.
It’s just right, so he can give up.
After all, Dongyou is not single anymore.
Although she and Chen Qi'an were not a serious couple, they were still husband and wife in name only. If she cheated during the marriage...
Xiao An will be sad.
Dong You opened the ring box and put the ring on his left ring finger before Chen Qian'an, thinking of taking it off after the meeting.
After the morning meeting, as Dong You walked out of the conference room door, the secretary caught up with her and whispered in her ear that the representative of S Company had arrived and was now at the front desk.
Dongyou pressed the button on his phone and saw the time: nine twenty-eight.
The other party arrived more than half an hour earlier than agreed.
"Take him to my office." Dong You said.
I heard his voice before I saw him. Dong You was sitting on a chair, and before he even opened the door, he heard Jin Zhouzhe's voice: "Miss Dong, long time no see——"
The door was pushed open by the secretary. She stood up and made a "please" gesture in the direction of Dong You. After Jin Zhouzhe sat down, she lowered her eyes, closed the door and walked out.
No one knew what the secretary was thinking: frivolous.
Dongyou deliberately extended his left hand to signal the other party to sit down, but unfortunately the other party's eyes were glued to Dongyou's face and he didn't notice Dongyou's little trick at all.
Winter Travel Ninja.
While discussing the project's progress, Dong You occasionally extended her hands and gestured. This wasn't in line with her style; she was more talkative when discussing something formal, rarely using body language unless the other person genuinely didn't understand.
She really took great pains to make Jin Zhouzhe discover the ring.
The key is that as the second party, she should not take the initiative to mention things that are not related to work when discussing the project progress.
Dongyou has always been a little girl and rarely feels suffocated like this.
I felt annoyed and disliked Jin Zhouzhe even more.
The first two hours were normal, so normal that I even forgot to show my ring in the second half of the winter tour.
However, while it's easy to change a situation, it's difficult to change one's nature. After finishing the business, Jin Zhouzhe revealed his true colors, flashing his usual charming smile that made women's hearts flutter. His eyes were clearly frivolous, but his movements were gentlemanly. He elegantly extended his right hand in front of Dong You and said gracefully, "Miss Dong, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight."
The pauses in his speech were strange, which also showed that he grew up in a foreign country and was not very proficient in Chinese.
Dongyou was speechless at first, but fortunately her mind reacted quickly and she realized that the opportunity had come.
She gave a helpless smile and said, "What a coincidence! I have to celebrate my husband's birthday tonight."
The "helplessness" in this smile seemed somewhat forced, but the joy in his eyes was obviously greater.
Jin Zhouzhe raised one eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "Miss Dong—" His tone was particularly romantic and sounded very ambiguous, "Since you've used it once and I saw through it, you don't have to lie to me again, right?"
As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Dong You's face for a while, then naturally slid down to her hand.
There was a circle of sparkling things on the beautiful and slender left ring finger of the person he fell in love with at first sight.
Tsk, a ring?
Jin Zhouzhe's smile grew wider, his eyes full of teasing: "Miss Dong, this time, the lies are complete."
Dongyou is really annoyed. Does this guy think he is the only one on earth?
Just at this moment, Dongyou's cell phone rang.
They both looked at Dongyou's phone interface at the same time.
Above the jumping telephone symbol were two words - Xiao An.
Dong You glanced at Jin Zhouzhe calmly, and clicked the answer and hands-free button under Jin Zhouzhe's naked gaze.
She said, "Hello? Xiao An?"
Jin Zhouzhe's eyes moved slightly.
So gentle. I've never seen her so gentle before. Is this what they call...contrast?
He raised his cheek and thought: Who is this person?
"Sister Xiaoyou, can you come home and pick me up in the evening? My car seems to have broken down." Chen Qian'an said.
Sister? Oh? Is she Miss Dong's younger brother?
"What's going on? Where are you now?"
"It's okay, Xiaoyou sister. I didn't turn off the car until I got home. I've already contacted people."
"That's good. I'll pick you up after get off work."
Of course, she would not agree to Chen Qian'an's request for a winter outing. In fact, she also wanted to go and come back with Chen Qian'an.
In fact, it is not impossible to take a taxi, although it is a bit troublesome.
Chen Qianan held on to the phone, but he wanted to go with Dong You.
They are married, they are one.
Dong You was anxious. These conversations could not prove that they were husband and wife. Maybe Jin Zhouzhe even thought they were siblings because Chen Qi'an called them "Sister Xiaoyou".
Chen Qi'an was about to say goodbye, but Dong You suddenly cried out, "Husband."
"????" The other side paused for a moment, but still said calmly, "What's wrong?"
Chen Qi'an wondered what kind of social event Dong You was attending, otherwise she wouldn't have said that out of nowhere.
Seeing that Jin Zhouzhe's expression had changed, Dongyou curled her lips into a smile, her eyebrows showing joy, and she said, "Happy birthday."
Chen Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you." Soon, he added, "You should get back to work first. See you tonight."
The phone call ended just like that.
Jin Zhouzhe's surprised expression had returned to his usual cynicism. He said, "So, Miss Dong, you really have a husband?"
Dong You said "hmm" lightly.
"It's okay..." Jin Zhouzhe suddenly pressed his face close to Dongyou's. Their eyes were no more than ten centimeters apart, and he could even count Dongyou's eyelashes. His tone was full of seduction, "...I won't tell him...I don't mind sharing you with him..."
“???”
Winter travel is really shocking.
Is this a foreigner?
Oh no, he's mixed race, but almost.
After being speechless for several seconds, Dongyou finally found his mouth: "...I mind."
"Why?" Jin Zhouzhe was extremely puzzled. "Can't you play with me?"
"Can you be more serious about your relationship?" This was the first time Dong You showed a less calm look in front of him.
At six o'clock, Dong You drove home from work. Chen Qi'an was already waiting for her at the gate. He was quietly looking at his phone, the evening breeze blowing through his hair, and the setting sun made him look very gentle.
Chen Qianan opened the passenger door and stepped in.
With his sharp eyes, he noticed the ring on Dongyou’s left hand on the steering wheel.
Um?
What's this?
Why is there a ring?
Also worn on the ring finger.
Was it to warn him? To justify the "husband" she'd called him this morning? To tell him it was all about work, so he wouldn't overthink it?
Otherwise, why would she wear the ring alone?
He had never seen this ring before, nor had he ever heard Dong You mention it.
Perhaps, adults always need to learn to understand other people's actions.
He didn't ask these questions out loud, and quickly restrained his expression, returning to that indifferent look.
