Chapter 133
(50.2)
The rings were delivered to Shen Yi’s office half a month after he had ordered them. He didn’t even go downstairs for lunch and just kept staring at the rings in the box for a long time.
Li Xing knocked on the door and walked into the office.
“You’re not eating?”
“I have no appetite.”
Li Xing knew that he had ordered new rings, it looked like he was probably planning to propose to Lu Wanwan once more, after all the rings had been delivered and they even looked quite good, so it didn’t make sense that Shen Yi would have this kind of expression, his mood seemed quite stressed.
Li Xing curiously asked, “When do you plan to give it to her?”
This pair of rings was worth a lot of money, and since he had already bought it, they now had to be offered, could it be that he would always keep them in his office to admire them on his own?
Shen Yi’s expression relaxed, and after a smile, he said, “Today.”
Li Xing said, “She will like it.”
Lu Wanwan had always loved precious jewelry, all the number of necklaces she had asked Shen Yi to buy for her before couldn’t even be counted.
Shen Yi put the box in his pocket, got up and said, “I’m going back.”
“Are you in such a hurry?”
What for?
Shen Yi was indeed in a hurry, he couldn’t calm down, he even ignored several red traffic lights on his way home.
At this time, it was only a little past 3:00 p.m. When he arrived home, on the contrary Shen Yi was not as impatient in his heart as before.
He slowed down and walked into the villa with light steps. The living room was empty. Lu Wanwan was resting in the rocking chair on the balcony.
Shen Yi suddenly appeared behind her and said, “Let’s go back to the apartment in a moment.”
Lu Wanwan opened her eyes and froze for a moment, her tone was casual: “Go back to do what ah?”
Shen Yi said, “Go back to have a look.”
Lu Wanwan actually did not want to go back. She did not understand what Shen Yi’s intention was, whether he meant to move back in or not.
Lu Wanwan looked down at her toes and told to him indifferently: “I don’t want to go back.”
It was extremely refreshing to live at her family’s house, she also did not have to worry nor be afraid that Shen Yi would go crazy again.
Shen Yi was not surprised by her answer, he also seemed to know what she was worried about, as he said to her softly: “We’ll come back here in the evening.”
“Ha? Oh.” Lu Wanwan stood up and stretched, “Then let’s go back and have a look.”
She could also take the little dress she liked in the closet over there and bring it back.
On the road there, it was silent in the car. Lu Wanwan faintly felt, in the bottom of her heart, that something seemed a bit unusual today.
The key to the apartment door was in Shen Yi’s hand, they hadn’t come back to live there for several months, but it was still very clean and there wasn’t any dust, Shen Yi himself had most likely come back to clean and tidy up the apartment during these past months.
He didn’t like outsiders entering the house, so he wouldn’t employ a cleaning lady from a housekeeping company to come over and clean it.
Shen Yi took off his suit jacket and put it on the coat rack.
Lu Wanwan buried her head down and entered the bedroom, she opened the door of the closet and began to collect her clothes.
She heard the sound of footsteps behind her, Shen Yi had entered the room and closed the door behind him. He was quietly waiting for her to organize her clothes.
Lu Wanwan suddenly was unable to continue packing, being stared by Shen Yi’s deep gaze made her feel goosebumps on her scalp, she raised her face, and softly spit the words: “Stop looking at me.”
Was he sick or what?
Had he not looked at her enough before?
Shen Yi’s face looked calm as he slowly said, “When I bought this house, I deliberately picked a very high building. On the first day when you moved in, I saw you leaning on the balcony railing to look at the sky outside, since that time, I’ve always had dreams of you running and disappearing from my sight.”
She would run away quickly and effortlessly, while waving goodbye to him.
Lu Wanwan liked liveliness since birth, her world was noisy and fun, without him, it seemed like nothing could prevent her from living a good life.
But Shen Yi wasn’t the same, she had appeared in his uninteresting life and the only thing he wanted was to firmly hold on to her with both his hands, and never let go.
“You never told me.” Lu Wanwan sat on the bedside and complained in a small voice.
She didn’t have a mind as delicate as Shen Yi, and she never knew that he was fragile and sensitive to such an extent.
Shen Yi opened the window and lit a cigarette in front of her. He silently smoked half of the cigarette before putting the cigarette head out.
The insipid smell of tobacco diffused in the air.
Lu Wanwan complained, “It stinks too much.”
She didn’t like the smell of cigarette.
“Mmh. I know you don’t like it.”
As Shen Yi looked at her face, he recalled many things from those year.
He finally took out the ring he had prepared, but he had no intention of kneeling down to propose to her.
It seemed like the usual formalities were not really important to the two of them.
