Chapter 27.4: A quiet life

After she cleaned up the kitchen, she said: “I should not have listened to you. There is no feeling of celebration with no birthday cake.”

“Our family never celebrate any birthday. So many years already, we are used to it.”

Yang Wei Qi said: “That can be really bad. Birthday celebration is a luxury to me. After this, I have to take note of this.”

“I am not as stern as my dad. Oh yes, I have something for you.” Zheng Xie holding a small box, sat next to Yang Wei Qi and handed it to her.

Yang Wei Qi opened it. It is a very eye-catching blue diamond ring. Very simple and cla.s.sic style with deeply embedded cut where the work was just perfect. The blue diamond occupy most of her knuckles. She was temporarily stunned.

Zheng Xie while putting the ring on her finger, said with a slight smile: “I once tried to imagine how I would arrange to present it to you with a little surprise. Hidding it in the cake, or presenting it in the wine gla.s.s but I am worried that it will cut your teeth at the same time. I also tried training Xiao Bao to bring the box over but it is refusing to co-operate. So eventually only could present it in this boring way, after all, I have also been boring.”

Yang Wei Qi bowed her head and said: “I have always knew that you are not a romantic person. You do not have to do something that you are reluctant for me.”

Zheng Xie said: “Then, you are willing to marry me?”

“Did I ever said that I am not willing?”

“A few days ago, I suddenly realized that we have already set the wedding date but I never seem to have proposed to you. What is this?”

“In fact, don’t you feel it is funny? You have not even proposed officially and I cannot wait to marry you.”

“Nonsense thinking. I just felt that it is unfair to you. Is this okay? If you do not like it, you can change for another one.”

Yang Wei Qi took a closer look at the ring on the finger. “Of course. How would I not like it?” She said. Then she make fun of it by saying: “Today is obviously your birthday. How come I am the one whom is receiving a gift?”

“Really? Who stole my limelight?” Zheng Xie casually asked.

When he saw Yang Wei Qi taking out the pendant from her collar, the smile that he had on the smile gradually faded.

The jeweled abacus beads pendant. Yang Wei Qi had a total of two, Sapphire and Ruby. She often change her pendant but this is among her most frequently wore pendant.

And this time she is wearing it again but it is green. If she had not found any alternatives, then the pendant should have belonged to another person. He had kept it for several years and finally took it out recently to give it to her as Christmas gift.

Zheng Xie’s mind is in a little chaos. He barely hear himself saying: “Congratulations. You finally collected the whole set.”

Yang Wei Qi said: “Coincidentally when I had given up looking for the other buyer, unexpectedly, He He had it. If I had not met her the other day and happen to be wearing the pendant that caught her attention, I may have missed it.”
