282 Friends With Benefit Than F*ck Buddies (1/2)

She stared at him intently for a while not making a move to open the square box. She was almost afraid to see what was so worthy that it was exclusive enough among these jewels.

Taking it in her hand, she turned it in all the sides possible, for a very small box it carried weight which would be the case for pearl in the shell too. Giving him one final glance as a chance to retrieve it back, she opened it.

She gasped and threw it back in the rectangular box. She opened and closed her mouth trying to utter a word of denial or approval. The context of her speech will hardly have insignificance at this point.

She shook her head and glared at the box as if it was the Pandora's box in her life containing all the evil, ”What...”

Li Yuan picked the box back and cradled it into his hand before taking out the rings the freaked her out and placed them on the table.

Her eyes fell on the white gold rings too. One more feminine and larger than the other: One had three straps with intricate filigree and in the middle, the strap had a string of perfect pink diamond string of about 2.5 carats. The other which was more masculine was thicker and had the same intricate filigree and but a steep string of blue diamonds. One look and you could recognize they were a couple.

From her angle, she could see the LY a double heart overlapping one another, and LX, their initials, carved in the underside of the rings.

She was freaking out as sh*t was getting real at this point! When she agreed to an engagement, she agreed to a pretend engagement! Where once she had her goal achieved she would disappear like a genie from the bottle!

”I want you to be my wife.”

There was nothing like a suggestion in his tone despite what his word sounded like.

It wasn't even a proposition, it was a demand and this made her already deflated ego bashed with another blow.

'Who did he think he was? Her Master?! She could see the smug look in his eyes along with seriousness. She had no Master!

She was contemplating throwing the precious stones on his face. But instead, she took a deep breath to counter to not do anything rash or uncalled for.

In the entire God-loving world she couldn't comprehend, why the hell he was so big no getting married! And that too with her? Without discrimination or biases, she was the least favorable candidate for a martial life!

She gave a sarcastic laugh and shook her head in defiance, ”You said you wanted me to be your fiancé! Where is this coming from now?! Do you even hear yourself?”
