Chapter 296 - May I? (2/2)

She walked towards him, ''I think I don't know for sure...Ah..'' She yelped when he grabbed her hand pulling her in front of him.

''Of course, you do, love,'' He placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand.

''Fine, I was looking at you...'' She admitted without beating around the bush, ''What's wrong with that? You are mine anyway.''

He chuckled, ''When did I say that I am not?'' His gaze landed on her empty finger, ''I am getting a matching one customized for you,'' He said as his thumb stroked the back of her palm.

''There is no need for that...'' She got her hand out of his grip and walked towards the bedside table. She picked up her clutch and took out a small box from it before walking back to him, ''I got it designed together.''

He grabbed the box from her hand and as he opened it, he was greeted with the sight of a similar ring to his. His gaze landed on the character carved in the ring. 'Xuan'.

He removed the ring from his finger before checking inside. There was 'Mei' carved beneath it.

He did not notice it yesterday in the rush.

The corner of his lips tugged up, ''This was the best gift I could have asked for her,'' He whispered, placing the ring back on his finger and she smiled, happy that he liked it.

While his was designed as a band, hers had a small purple diamond sitting on the top.

Purple diamonds were non-existent and there were no truly famous purple diamonds. Since purple is the color of royalty, purple diamonds are the ultimate regal gemstone. An 8-carat vivid purple diamond called Purple star does exist but its owner has been unknown all this time, ''You had this?”

''Purple star?” As he nodded, she glanced at the ring in his hand, ”Yes, I had gotten my hands on this for a long time but I did not get a proper idea on how to use it and that is until...''

He tilted his head when she paused, ''Until?”

She placed her palms in his and stood on her tiptoes, letting her lips linger on his as she looked into his eyes, ''Until I realized how much I want to spend the rest of my life with you.''

His eyes deepened as he glanced at her lips and she gulped softly. Her fingers trembled in his palm as he rubbed his lips against hers before taking her bottom lips between his teeth. He nipped it lightly before sucking it and his tongue slid inside her mouth as he deepened the kiss.

She closed her eyes, moving in sync with him, letting him explore her mouth as he wanted. Their lips parted as she panted softly against his lips.

He leaned his forehead against hers, ''May I?” He raised her palm while holding the ring in his other hand.

She nodded.

He stepped back from her before getting on his knees, ''Miss Han Mei, I am not letting you change your decision of being my wife ever.''

She bit her bottom lips, ''I am not changing it,'' She whispered, her tone trembled slightly as she blinked rapidly, feeling herself tearing up.

''That's for the best as even if you want, I won't let you go,'' He placed the ring on her finger.
