The weather today was truly gloomy, and so dark that it was somewhat scary. Li Ruo sat on the carriage and stared blankly at the weather outside, and for some reason, she felt that the bottom of her heart was somewhat sad.

With a sigh, he turned and leaned his head on Jing Moxuan's shoulder and asked softly, "Xuan, where are we going?"

Jing Moxuan pulled her into his embrace, his eyes shining with a little excitement. "Let's choose the engagement ring."

"engagement ring?" She couldn't help but stare at him with wide eyes. Apart from the surprise in her eyes, there was another emotion mixed in with it. Even she couldn't tell what it was. "Are we getting engaged?"

"Naturally." He nodded affirmatively. "After you've chosen the ring and then the dress, I want to see how you look in it."

She couldn't smile, so she continued to lean her head on his shoulder, but her heart was in complete disarray. What was going on? He was actually going to choose a ring? They were both getting engaged.

She loved Jing Moxuan, why would she hesitate now? He was really starting to get confused.

After getting off the carriage, Jing Moxuan naturally grabbed onto her hand. Who would have known that she would struggle unnaturally for a bit, and because he was sensitive enough to feel her resistance, he furrowed his brows for a while before asking in a confused tone, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just a bit nervous."

Jing Moxuan showed a speechless expression, "Are you nervous? What's there to be nervous about? We're engaged, aren't we? "

"Yes, engagement." She lowered her head to take his hand, then looked up piteously. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that."

Jing Moxuan looked at her seriously, he then hugged her tightly, and spoke with a relaxed tone, "With me here, don't be nervous, alright? You make me feel that you're under a lot of pressure, as if you're rejecting me. "

She quickly shook her head, her eyes red, making her even more certain that she loved Jing Moxuan, and couldn't disappoint him, and couldn't let him down.

Jing Moxuan took her hand and walked into the shop, smiling as he asked, "Go and choose a ring."

She shook her head in panic. "I don't know what to choose."

"Fine." Jing Moxuan suppressed the irritation in his heart, helplessly shrugged, and walked up to the counter with her shoulder in his arm. He randomly picked a pair of simple style rings and turned to ask her, "Do you like them?"

Li Ruo nodded earnestly: "I like it."

"Alright, then these two rings will do." He was speechless at her lack of decision, but he could only nod helplessly and say, "Help us wrap it up."

"Xuan, I want to go to the washroom." she said nervously.

Jing Moxuan placed his hand on her shoulder, and asked playfully, "Li Ruo, something's wrong with you today, are you sick?"

"Nope."

"Fine, I'll wait for you." Jing Moxuan pulled her hand and kissed her lightly on her cheek.

Li Ruo took a deep breath, then forcefully walked towards the bathroom with the corner of her mouth pulled. However, the moment she turned around, her face tensed up, and she was so nervous that she was about to explode.

"Can I go to the street? "I want to go." Li Ruo anxiously boarded a taxi, and turned to look at the jewelry store's car, her hands nervously intertwined together, hoping that she would return soon.

Jing Moxuan sat quietly on the sofa, his hand casually flipping through a magazine. As time flowed by, the calm on his face changed to a look of irritation, then he threw the magazine on the table and stood up to walk towards the bathroom.

He ignored everything and rushed into the female restroom, but since there was no one inside, he frowned and called out softly, "Li Ruo?"

For a long time, no one answered, he carefully searched again, and after confirming that the washroom was empty, his face immediately turned black. He walked out of the shop in large strides, and made a call, "Li Ruo is gone, look it up as soon as possible!"

He sat uneasily in his seat, a little irritated. Where did she go? He was captured? Or did he leave by himself?

He punched the steering wheel hard, his entire body was filled with anger, where did Li Ruo run off to?

On the street, Li Ruo squatted on a small intersection. Luckily, the weather was cool today, otherwise she would have been burnt into coal. She had waited at the entrance of the street for nearly half an hour.

She was extremely depressed in her heart, because she did not know what Cheng Yichen's car looked like nor did she know his number, so what was the use of her coming here? However, he felt unwilling to leave.

With a sigh, she decided to squat beside the street lamp and look down at the passing cars, just like a person who was forgotten by the world, she was indeed a forgotten person, she did not have any memories from a young age, she only remembered one person, and that was Jing Moxuan.

He told her that he was her lover and her fiance, but she felt that something was wrong. It was as if her love for Jing Moxuan wasn't enough, and she felt that there was something missing between the two of them.

Cheng Yichen's appearance was an oddity. He was obviously a frivolous man, kissing her the first time they met, but she was unable to hate him no matter what. It was really too strange.

Right at that moment, a car slowly drove towards her. The person on the car tightly pressed on the steering wheel as they stared at the woman squatting at the intersection. Did he see it right? Was it the Little Qing?

It was as if he saw her waiting for him under the street lamp in a daze when the two of them were together. Her clear eyes were always filled with a dazed light, and the moment she saw him, they would become filled with light.

His heart was beating rapidly, and his hands, which were holding the steering wheel, began to tremble. He drove the car to a stop in front of her and pulled her out of the car to hug her tightly.

"Little Qing." He whispered her name, so excited that his voice trembled.

Li Ruo was completely baffled, but at the bottom of her heart, there was a spot of pain, and she muttered, "I, I, I'm Li Ruo."

"No, you are my Little Qing, my Little Qing." He spoke with such familiarity and sincerity that his arms trembled uncontrollably. At this moment, a soft voice was heard.

"Clatter ~ ~ ~"

However, Li Ruo opened her eyes wide and pushed him away with all her might. She took a deep breath and said, "Cheng Yichen, someone wants to kill you, let's go quickly."

Cheng Yichen's face revealed an astonished expression, but it was quickly filled with belief. He reached out and grabbed her hand, then protected her within his embrace as he hastily ran towards an alley not far away.

With the sound of the wind breaking, Cheng Yichen confirmed that what she said was true. Someone really did kill him! Was that why she was here waiting for him? And tell him the news?

But didn't she know how dangerous it was? Damn woman! How audacious!

The two of them ran in the alleyway with all their might. After running for an unknown amount of time, Li Ruo looked at him and laughed, "Your reactions are quite sharp."

"Because I believe you."

His words made a subtle feeling in the bottom of Li Ruo's heart, she sighed, "I'm so tired from running that my calves are sore, let's continue, I'm afraid they will chase after us."

"No need, the person who killed me should be very far away, upstairs. His gun is a long-range shot, it won't chase us." Cheng Yichen's downcast voice explained, and his brows fiercely wrinkled as he guessed, "It should be someone Jing Zhen sent."

Li Ruo was very surprised with the accuracy of his guess, her eyes opened wide, "How did you know?"

"He has always wanted the North China Region. Since the old man has handed me the North China Region, he will definitely view me as a thorn in his side. It's normal for him to kill me." Cheng Yichen laughed bitterly, then grabbed her hand and said, "Thank you very much. Come and tell me, otherwise, I would already be dead."

Li Ruo's face revealed a look of astonishment, and then she laughed: "You won't."

Her face was filled with determination and was truly beautiful. In that instant, it was as if a ray of light had shone into his world, dispersing all the darkness.

At this moment, a silver thread fell from the sky. The two of them looked at each other, as if they had known each other for a long time. They were very familiar with nature.

"Is it cold?" Cheng Yichen took off his jacket and draped it over her body. He raised his head and looked at her and said, "It's raining."

"Yeah, it's raining." Li Ruo somewhat embarrassedly pulled at his clothes, and said with furrowed brows, "Do you smoke a lot? "The smell of smoke is so strong."

Cheng Yichen looked at her deeply, then said with a slight smile, "No, during this period of time, I was very depressed, and couldn't sleep every day, so I smoked a lot of cigarettes. I won't do it in the future, I'll quit smoking."

Astonishment filled her face as she spoke in an awkward tone, "Are you going to quit because of my words? "Please don't, I will have a burden."

He stared at her, something in his expression, something unspeakable in his eyes. "It's not because of you."

She then let out a sigh of relief and patted her mouth, "That's good, otherwise I would feel very burdened. Fortunately, it's not because of me, but why are you so insomniac?" Can't sleep? "

The two of them walked side by side in the alley as they welcomed Xiao Yu. He lowered his head and said with a bitter smile, "Because I thought she was gone, during that period of time I became very depressed, very depressed."

"And then?"

"Later?" He looked at her deeply for a long time before he spoke again. "Now I have hope. I am not as depressed as I was before, because I know our relationship is not over."

"Is it not over? You have someone you like again? It can't be? "So fast?" Li Ruo revealed a somewhat disdainful look, "How can you men be like this?"

Cheng Yichen remained silent, not knowing how to explain it to her, because what he meant was not the end of their relationship, which meant that the Little Qing was still there. Things were not as bad as he had imagined, and they still had hope.

"I think I should leave." Li Ruo suddenly said, her entire being seemed to be slightly anxious, "Xuan is still at the jewelry store, he will definitely be waiting anxiously."

Cheng Yichen was annoyed from the bottom of his heart, he grabbed her hand, "Let's eat something before we go?"

She somewhat anxiously shook her head. "I don't want it anymore. I'm afraid that he will get angry."

After Li Ruo finished speaking, he subconsciously shrunk her neck back. From this slight expression, he could practically confirm that she was somewhat afraid of Jing Moxuan, and her heart ached a little. "Do you really want to leave?"

"Of course, you have to go. Do you know that by being careful?" She smiled as she took off his clothes and walked forward. However, she very quickly turned around and looked at him, and blinked her eyes, "Cheng Yichen, I don't want you to die. Take care of yourself."

A smile appeared on Cheng Yichen's face, he nodded to her and slowly opened his mouth, "Alright."

Only then did she relax, and it seemed like she had relaxed a lot, as he hummed and skipped away, while Cheng Yichen followed her back for a long time, then revealed a big smile on his face.

She hadn't forgotten him so completely, had she? At least, it was different for him, he was sure of that. Just by the fact that she had risked her life to come here, he was very important to her. Even if she ignored him now, she would one day notice that this was his hope.
