Chapter 263 - It is Everyone’s Responsibility to Look After Children (1/2)

A brief moment later, Lu Jingzhi could feel her small and delicate fingers brushing his. Although she was trying her best to be careful, her technique was just too rough and she could not get an accurate measurement no matter how hard she tried.

Jiang Yuning used the piece of string around Lu Jingzhi’s finger for a long time and she was already breaking out in cold sweat because she was afraid that she would wake Lu Jingzhi up. At this time, she suddenly remembered that she should have measured his ring finger instead of his middle finger. She wanted to curse at herself because she had been tossing the string around Lu Jingzhi’s middle finger all this time. Now, she had to repeat the measurement all over again.

“Sigh…”

What a silly girl.

She was only ever this dense and clumsy in front of Lu Jingzhi.

The man who had been lying motionless all this while suddenly felt that the situation was unbearable. So, he decided to sit up as he placed his hand over Jiang Yuning’s and asked, “Do you need my help?”

“Are you awake?” Jiang Yuning asked as she was stunned.

Lu Jingzhi gave her a tight hug before he answered in a serious manner, “Silly girl. My ring size is eighteen. If you continue measuring me, I am going to lose my finger.”

As soon as Jing Yuning heard Lu Jingzhi’s words, she quickly threw the string away before she looked at the man sitting in front of her. “Were you pretending to be asleep all along? Are you making fun of me now? See, this won’t be a surprise anymore! You’ve spoiled everything!”

Lu Jingzhi looked at Jiang Yuning and after a split second, he let go of her and opened the bedside drawer that was right next to him. Then, he took out a box before he handed it over to Jiang Yuning. “Open it.”

Jiang Yuning opened the box with a suspicious expression on her face. In addition to their marriage certificates, there were two wedding rings lying inside the box.

Lu Jingzhi took out the female ring from the box and placed it in Jiang Yuning’s palm before hugged her tightly in his arms. “The French designer told me that the name of this wedding ring is ‘Holding Hearts’.”

This was because the shape of the ring, with its eight prongs holding onto the diamond, resembled human hands holding onto a heart.

“It is really special.” Jiang Yuning slipped the ring onto her finger as she moved her hand around under the dim light. The diamond ring on her finger sparkled brightly. “What about the man’s ring?”

Jiang Yuning hurriedly looked at the man’s ring and found that it was very simple and hollow.

“This ring is called ‘Locking Hearts’.” This was because as soon as Jiang Yuning placed her ring into his, both the rings fit perfectly as though they were one.

Jiang Yuning took the ring out of the box and grabbed Lu Jingzhi’s hand immediately so that she could put the ring onto his finger.

The pair of rings looked magical and it was obvious that they belonged together.

After putting on the wedding ring, Jiang Yuning broke free from Lu Jingzhi’s grasp and rolled towards the other end of the bed before she asked him, “When did you prepare the wedding rings? Why didn’t you tell me anything about it?”

“I thought that you would not want to wear the ring.”

“I cannot be wearing the ring because it would be very inconvenient for me when I participate in events or activities. Moreover, I have to record the fourth issue of tomorrow and I would probably be crawling around the grass or digging into the ground then. I cannot bear to wear this beautiful ring in such situations. After we make our relationship known to the public, I will wear this ring every day…”

After that, Jiang Yuning took the ring off and placed it back into the box.

It was obvious that she was very unwilling to put the ring back.

At this time, Lu Jingzhi picked up the ring and put it onto her finger once again. “Take it off in the morning tomorrow.”

That night, the couple finally wore their wedding rings together for the very first time. Although they did not have any ring exchange ceremony, it was still a very memorable moment for them as they put on the rings representing their token of trust and affection for one another.

Jiang Yuning fell asleep with a sweet smile on her face.
