Gu Xiaoer stared blankly at Han Luoli's palm.
Two earrings lay there quietly.
One and the same beautiful stone, one and the same craftsmanship, she realized—these were a pair.
Frozen and dumbfounded, it took her a while before she finally looked up at Han Luoli, "How come there are two?"
Indeed, how could there be two?
Because your fiancé is standing right in front of you, silly girl!
Wei Feng had been urgently recalled after coming out of Shen Minghan's office. He had never cared about such things and hadn't taken their childhood engagement seriously, so he had always kept the earrings.
Now, he had come to her with both earrings.
"Xiao Er, actually I also have a fiancée... She has a red mole over her heart and holds a turquoise earring that matches mine. I never looked for her, but she came to me without any forewarning..."
Han Luoli stood tall and unwavering like a pine, his deep black eyes looking at Gu Xiaoer with emotion and restraint.
Gu Xiaoer came to her senses with a loud "Ah," ignoring the man's gaze, she covered the hot mole on her chest, and then pointed first to herself, then to Han Luoli.
The man nodded with certainty, ready to enjoy her excitedly elated expression, only to be surprised as the girl's face fell in an instant.
Then came a mournful question, "Did my mom really pledge me to a male publicist?!"
The man almost having a brain hemorrhage in the room: "..." Xiao Er, don't blame your mother, really! I shouldn't have agreed to be 'rented' by you to begin with!
Am I angry? No, really not, I just want to be alone...
Han Luoli held his chest and sat down on the couch with difficulty, raising his palm to gesture for the girl to come sit as well.
Gu Xiaoer was indeed carefree, obediently and cooperatively sitting close to him.
Affectionately holding his sturdy arm, she felt like she might have hurt his pride just now, and quickly rubbed her head against him to appease him, "Da Luoluo, I'm so happy!"
"Happy that your fiancé doesn't have cancer?"
"..." Ah, indeed deeply stung, what a petty man, he was clearly teasing her just now!
"Da Luoluo, I am really, really happy!" She was speaking the truth, startled by the pair of earrings, startled by the sudden appearance of her fiancé, followed by excitement and indescribable sweetness.
The person she liked was her predestined fiancé from childhood, a melodramatic plot not even guaranteed in a prime-time soap opera, yet it was happening to her in real life.
After experiencing a house fire and losing her home, this was by far the happiest thing for her. It felt as if she had suddenly gained a family member, one who had seeped into her marrow and mingled with her blood...
"Da Luoluo, you knew all along, yet you still tricked me..."
Han Luoli heaved a silent sigh, his lips landing on her forehead with tenderness and affection, "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have known that my fiancée could act so well."
"So I was wrong, alright?!" Pettily retorting, hmph!
The man stopped teasing her, spreading the two earrings in his palm, carefully, he brought them to her ears and meticulously helped her put them on.
"Not bad, makes for a good wife."
"Ugh, stop it!" Gu Xiaoer lowered her head, her face flushed with shyness, her heart full of sweetness.
The man cupped the girl's fair face, their eyes meeting, Gu Xiaoer saw the resolute tenderness in his.
Then his solemn voice suddenly pierced the air, "Xiao Er, let's get married."
