Chapter 318: Did You Lose the DR Ring

"Fine, my bad. Then I'll go home and kneel on the washboard," Jiang Muye said with a chuckle.

"I don't want you kneeling on the washboard." Leng Ruoli shook her head.

Jiang Muye grinned mischievously. "Then how about I kneel on a durian?"

"I don't want that either!" Leng Ruoli held him especially tight. Jiang Muye was caught off guard, feeling her somewhat uneven breaths scatter across his neck. Her arms, in particular, were locked around him with particular tightness. "I just want you to stay with me, that's all."

Jiang Muye could feel just how important he was to Leng Ruoli.

Immersed in such a wonderful atmosphere, he affectionately stroked her brown hair and comforted her, "Alright, aren't I right here in front of you now?"

Leng Ruoli smiled beautifully. Her eyes had been red just moments ago, but now they curved into crescents, sparkling whenever they rested on Jiang Muye.

She reached out toward him. "Where's the ring?"

"The ring?" Jiang Muye smacked his forehead, vexed. "Oh right, where did the ring go?"

"Huh?" Leng Ruoli froze.

That bewildered little expression was especially adorable.

"What am I supposed to do, I think I lost it. I was going too fast when I came up and didn't notice, so the ring fell into the water?" Jiang Muye muttered.

Leng Ruoli grew anxious. "No way, right?"

"Seems like it's true. How about I go back down." As he said that, Jiang Muye made to enter the water, but Leng Ruoli hugged his waist from behind, shaking her head urgently. "Don't go into the water. Let's just have the staff look for it."

Jiang Muye burst out laughing. "And what if they can't find the ring? What if you refuse to marry me?"

"I'll marry you. I'd marry you even without a ring!"

"Little dummy, satisfied so easily. You're too easy to fool." Jiang Muye tapped her forehead with his finger, then pulled something sparkling and dazzling from his pocket.

Leng Ruoli's eyes went wide, her red lips parting in surprise.

The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth curved up. "Take a look, what's this?"

"The ring! So it wasn't lost after all!" Leng Ruoli was overjoyed, her eyes lighting up. She instinctively reached for the ring, but Jiang Muye stopped her.

Jiang Muye said solemnly, "How could the woman be the one to put on a ring?"

"Huh?" Just as she let out that adorable trailing note, Jiang Muye leaned his head in slightly, unable to suppress the sweet smile at the corners of his mouth. "Of course I'm the one putting it on you. After all, this is a proposal ring."

The DR Ring was slipped off her finger.

Yet she wasn't the least bit disappointed. The next second after the DR Ring came off, a pigeon-egg diamond ring took its place.

Jiang Muye solemnly placed the diamond ring on Leng Ruoli's finger.

As he pinched her fingertips and slid it on, he could feel her fingers trembling.

He teased Leng Ruoli, "Stop shaking, otherwise people will think I'm forcing you to wear it."

Leng Ruoli's little face flushed crimson, and she shook her head vigorously. "I can't control it… I'm so nervous."

"Haha, the proposal's already over and you're still nervous. If I put it on you at the wedding, you'd probably be even more nervous, right?" Jiang Muye was lightening the mood.

Leng Ruoli's tender red face was as bright and rosy as a mangosteen. She lowered her little face, her pretty red lips quivering. "I… might go weak in the knees."

"Haha, that exaggerated? Don't worry, I'll be right beside you. I can hold you up when the time comes." The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth lifted.

Leng Ruoli's face was full of anticipation for the future. Her eyes were like bright stars, radiant, and each flutter of her thick, feather-like lashes made Jiang Muye's heart race.

"If you go weak, I'll help you too."

After hearing her words, Jiang Muye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Go weak where? How would you help? Go on, let's hear it."

Faced with Jiang Muye's teasing, Leng Ruoli put on a show of being angry. "Hurry up and put it on me."

But even when she pretended to be angry, she had no bite to her at all, like a little kitten swiping its paws, especially soft and adorable.

Jiang Muye laughed even harder. "Are you that desperate to get married? You're rushing me now. Am I about to marry a tigress?"

"I'm not fierce at all. Aren't you anxious?" Leng Ruoli pouted her red lips, looking at Jiang Muye with a wronged expression, even starting to stamp her feet adorably.

Jiang Muye was completely helpless against Leng Ruoli.

Who told her to be Leng Ruoli, so cute, so pretty.

"I am anxious. I want to use this ring to bind you for a lifetime." Jiang Muye chuckled and began sliding the ring onto Leng Ruoli's finger.

Her hand looked fair and healthy, pretty and slender, and felt soft when held.

The DR Ring before had already made her hand look radiant, and now with the diamond ring on, it was even more flawless.

The ring Jiang Muye bought for Leng Ruoli was custom-made.

The diamond was a 13.6-carat South African diamond. The materials and design together cost 210 million.

It was expensive, but on Leng Ruoli's hand it looked completely made to measure.

Not too big, not too small, it fit perfectly around her finger.

When Leng Ruoli looked at the ring, that surge of delight was completely impossible to suppress. Her eyes held stars as she kept turning the ring over and over.

"This ring was custom-ordered half a month ago. Even back then I was thinking of you, and the moment the ring was finished, I thought I should propose to you," Jiang Muye confessed quietly to Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli was deeply moved and hugged Jiang Muye again. "Then when did you secretly plan this proposal? Could it have been half a month ago too?"

Jiang Muye thought for a moment and said, "If I told you it was only two days ago, would you be angry?"

"Two days ago? Impossible, right? You're with me every day, where would you find the time!" Leng Ruoli was astonished.

Jiang Muye said with a smile, "I'm a master of time management. Don't think that just because I'm always with you I can't allocate my time perfectly. I prepared all of this without anyone being the wiser."

"Tell me properly, how did you do it~" Leng Ruoli wheedled, shaking Jiang Muye's wrist.

Seeing Leng Ruoli's coquettish little act, Jiang Muye couldn't help but kiss her bright red lips. "Alright, I'll tell you, satisfied? When you fell asleep at night, I'd sneak out and learn to dive."

He was a man with the System, with a learning talent. It hadn't taken him long to learn diving.

When they'd agreed to come to the school, he'd already decided he should propose to Leng Ruoli.

If not for the leg cramp and spasm that had just happened, this would definitely have been a romantic and perfect proposal, one that would have been etched into Leng Ruoli's memory forever.

Fortunately the process hadn't been perfect, but the ending was.

Now he had officially succeeded in his proposal.

Jiang Muye gripped Leng Ruoli's soft, fair little hand tightly, and Leng Ruoli gave a proud little hum. "You're so capable. In the future, won't you sneak off behind my back to do bad things too?"
