Chapter 162: Special Ring, Yan Kuan’s Identity!
Inside the box lay a pair of oddly-shaped rings. One big and one small, they were exactly the same design. The interface was made of thick green jade, but this ring seemed to be made of black jade. The most peculiar thing was that they were not made of artificial inlay. They were made naturally.
And this ring, it was very similar to the thing on her neck. Whether it was the color or the touch, Shen Xiaoxiao was a little confused for a moment.
However, what made Shen Xiaoxiao even more surprised was not the ring, but Yan Kuan’s expression. No matter how she looked at it, he seemed a little nervous. What was going on?
“Put it on!”
“What?” Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. Yan Kuan wanted her to put on that small ring? But it was just a ring. Why did his expression look so strange?
“Put it on.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the ring that was once again in front of her. She did not know what was wrong with this proud man. Moreover, where was she supposed to wear this ring? However, when she saw that there was a rare trace of nervousness and worry in his eyes… She swallowed her words.
No matter how calm he looked on the surface, she would not be mistaken about his gaze.
Shen Xiaoxiao took the ring from Yan Kuan’s hand and prepared to put it on her left middle finger. However, Yan Kuan said again, “Ring finger.”
This man was really acting out. The ring finger was worn for marriage. Did he know or not?
“Don’t say anything and don’t ask. Put it on first.”
As if he had already seen through Shen Xiaoxiao, he directly used his words to block her mouth. Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a sense of nervousness in her heart. It was as if the ring in her hand had some big background… It actually made Yan Kuan, who had never changed his expression, reveal a strange look.
For a moment, Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly felt her heart lift up. She put the ring on her ring finger.
The size was just right. Moreover, with this ring on her finger, she had originally thought that it would look old-fashioned, but it actually looked so well-matched.
There was no woman who did not love jewelry, especially when the ring looked particularly beautiful. Shen Xiaoxiao even picked up her hand as if she was presenting a treasure to Yan Kuan. As she looked at it, she asked, “How is it? Does it look good? I didn’t expect that this design is quite old, but this ring looks pretty good on my hand. What do you think?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan’s dazed look and waved her hand in front of his eyes again. However, she did not expect Yan Kuan to grab her hand and flip it over and over again. After seeing that this ring was indeed completely suitable for her, his expression suddenly changed again. He even added a hint of a smile. Shen Xiaoxiao was baffled by what she saw.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing. Let’s go.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan casually putting another slightly larger ring on his ring finger. She felt that it was a little strange. Did this person know? Or did he not know? This was the ring finger. It was the ring finger. One only wore it for marriage.
“This, this, is it suitable for us to wear on this ring finger?”
“Why not?”
Yan Kuan casually draped the shawl over her shoulders and pulled her into the car. He looked at the ring again and felt inexplicably relieved. This ring had actually chosen her. He was very happy, no, very satisfied, very joyful. He was so happy that he was about to go crazy.
He did not know why he was so excited and happy. However, when he saw that the ring had chosen this little thing, he suddenly felt that the ring had good taste. When he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao… He was no longer as worried as before. Instead, he suddenly felt as bright as he had never felt before.
Now, what he actually wanted to do more was to pull this little thing back to the room and fiercely love her.
Unfortunately, she had to attend that banquet tonight for the sake of that damn engagement that was tied to her body. At this moment, he had never hated that engagement before. He could not wait to immediately make a move and break off the engagement.
“19, drive faster. We haven’t seen each other for a few days. Your skills are getting rusty. Look at this slowness.”
19 felt wronged. It was already close to 120, and it was still on the main street. How could this be considered slow?
Boss had urged him a few times. Was he in such a hurry? Since he was in such a hurry, why didn’t he go out earlier? Sigh, it was really difficult to be a secret guard now.
However, no matter how fast 19 was, according to Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan’s procrastination when they went out, by the time they reached the Ouyang family’s mansion, it was already filled with champagne and beautiful shadows. The palace was crisscrossed with each other, and the shadows were moving.
“This Ouyang Mansion, except for Ouyang Cheng who opens it once every year on his birthday, it’s usually never open.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was surprised when she heard that. Ouyang Cheng and Ouyang Tian were blood-related brothers. But the family head was his older brother, Ouyang Tian. It was strange that the family head, Ouyang Tian, never celebrated his birthday. However, his younger brother, Ouyang Cheng, could only be considered as a branch, but he would open the Ouyang family once every year for the public to see. This was really a little strange.
“Why do I feel that this Ouyang family is filled with a strange smell? Look at the decorations here. Although they are all antique, and all the decorations are priceless antiques, why do I feel that this place is a little, a little…”
“A little cold.”
“Yes, a little cold. Eh, you think so too?”
Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Yan Kuan. However, Yan Kuan seemed to have started from the moment he entered the Ouyang family’s mansion. His entire body was actually a little colder than the Ouyang family’s old mansion. If she wasn’t used to him… She would probably only think that this place and Yan Kuan were actually a good match.
“It’s not that I think so, but this place has always been filled with decay and coldness, filled with blood and slaughter.”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know how to respond to Yan Kuan’s words for a moment because she always felt that when Yan Kuan said these words, his entire body was filled with sadness and had a strange aura of death that even she could not explain clearly.
“Don’t, don’t do this.”
The warm palm was the rare redemption of Yan Kuan’s cold heart. He really stood in this mansion that he had knelt on the ground for three days and three nights, leaving all of his self-esteem here… His heart had originally been as calm as a pool of stagnant water. The wind was calm and the waves were calm, but who knew that the waves in this place were turbulent?
“Let’s go in and see how beautiful this place is. Let’s also take a good look at how mighty and domineering the number one family in China is.”
“You are actually…”
Yan Kuan turned his head to look at this girl and touched her face. He rarely nodded and whispered into Shen Xiaoxiao’s ear, “Yes, your man is a member of the Ouyang family, but was once the burden of the Ouyang family. This little thing must hide this secret well…”
