C125 A Pot of Cold Water for Narcissism (1/2)
Looking at the jewelry box in front of her, Tang Chu Rui was stunned.
What was going on?
Just a second ago, she was still helping the people in front of her pick out which type was the most suitable to gift. But in the next second, Huan Jing placed his jewelry box in front of her and asked: ”Do you like it?”
In this short moment, before Tang Muren could react, the tellers who were not far away from them had already started to shout and jeer.
”Oh my god, is this a proposal?”
”Am I in time for a marriage proposal?”
”How romantic!”
”So you two knew each other from a long time ago!” No wonder you wanted to push us aside and walk right in front of you! ”
”Why didn't you tell us you had such a handsome boyfriend!”
Everyone began to discuss with each other, and the expressions on their faces were simply brilliant.
Seeing that the girls were gathered together, their eyes practically shining with the radiance of the stars, Tang Chu Rui quickly stopped the scene.
”Isn't this ring a gift? Hurry and take it away. ”
She pushed the ring toward him.
Huan Jing's expression did not change, but his fingertip once again pushed the jewelry box back without batting an eyelid.
”Didn't you say you like this style?”
Huan Jing opened the ring, and the ring shone under the light.
”Tang FuRui, you're willing …” Huan Jing said. His eyes moved slightly, as if there was some kind of light surging within them.
The people across from him began to cry out in alarm.
”Oh my god!” How romantic! It's too romantic! ”
”First, pretend to be a customer coming here to pick a ring. Then, give the chosen ring to your beloved one!”
”You're not really going to get married here, are you? Are we the witnesses to the proposal? ”
”Do you see the look in this gentleman's eyes? So gentle, I am about to fall in love with him …” It's too charming! ”
”Why don't I have a boyfriend like that!”
The stars were coming out of everyone's eyes.
A chill ran down Tang's spine, fearing that someone in front of her would suddenly say the standard line, ”Will you marry me?”
Huan Jing was simply too difficult to understand, and she didn't know how he should deal with it either. If he really said something like that … That was too scary!
Before Huan Jing finished speaking, Tang Gu Rui interrupted him with all her might.
”Sir, do you want this ring?”
Tang Chu Rui lowered her head, quickly put the jewelry box into the bag, and used a few ribbons to tie a beautiful bow.
”If you want it, I'll wrap it up for you right now. I'll take you there to settle the bill.”
Huan Jing's eyes drooped slightly as a deeper meaning emerged from his eyes.
But Tang Chu Rui didn't care what his expression was and directly pulled him to the side.
”This way.”
She dragged him to a corner to ensure that there was no one around before raising her head to look him in the eye. ”Young Master Huan, what are you trying to do?”
Huan Jing stared at her for a moment, seeing her angry expression, but instead in a good mood, he chuckled.
”Did I make you angry?”
”Nonsense!”
Huan Jing's gaze fell on her neck, where there were a few strands of hair that had not been stuck in when he stabbed his hair. ”Rather than pretending that you don't know me, looking around left and right is much more realistic.”
”Scram!”
You came all the way here to buy a ring just to see if my reaction was real or not?
”I'm a person who rarely gets angry, especially after these two years when my temper has improved a lot,” Tang said as she looked up at him. ”But if you play too many of these games and provoke me again and again, you will also reach my bottom line.”
Huan Jing laughed.
”How will you react if I touch your bottom line?”
”You'd better not know.”
”What if I say I'm not joking, and I'm not playing games?”
Tang Meng Rui raised her head and coincidentally met Huan Jing's eyes.
Unexpectedly, he didn't have any intention of joking. He didn't seem like he was joking.
”What do you mean?”
Why, this time, she felt a chill behind her back.
”I'm serious.”
”What?”
Don't tell me the ring is serious, and the proposal is serious, then she might as well find a southern wall and crash her head against.
After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't think of a reason why Huan Jing would want to pester her again.
Logically speaking, they no longer owed each other anything due to the events of a few years ago.
”You can't think of any more tricks,” said Tang. She turned around and looked out of the corner of her eye at the nearby tellers, who were still sitting quietly on the counter. They seemed to be overjoyed at the scene of the proposal, ”I don't want to interfere in your life anymore, and I don't want your appearance to interfere with my originally calm state of mind. ”I don't know why you chose the ring or why you wanted to give it to me, but I'll just be frank. If you want to reunite with me, the chances of it happening are zero.”
Tang Chu Rui put down the words, also felt a lot more relaxed. I've already rejected you so clearly. Even if it's a dogskin plaster, I can still get rid of it, right?
He was neither in a hurry nor impatient mood. He was calm out of expectation.
His lips curled up slightly.
”... Who told you that I can just go back with you? ”
”Huh?”
Tang Chu Rui froze for a moment.
You climbed up my balcony in the middle of the night and found a place to work in the middle of the day. So that's not what you meant?
”Your sense of self, Tang,” sighed a soft voice in her ear, ”is too good.”
In an instant, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head, splattering her head with a bloody rain.
Tang Chu Rui's face was in disgrace. She thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of any words to refute.
