"We're in the wrong place, sister-in-law. The groom's building is opposite."
Chu Kewei walked up to him, lowered her head and took out a plain ring from the hidden pocket of her wedding dress.
He grabbed her wrist suddenly, his knuckles turning white:
"Chu Kewei, you dumped me twelve years ago, and twelve years later you came to wear my brother's wedding dress and give me a ring——"
"What do you think of me? A spare tire? A distraction? Or the first step in your return to China, Miss Chu?"
——More than two thousand days were enough for him to boil his heart from boiling hot to ashes.
She didn't make any effort and looked at him quietly.
He let go of her hand, took half a step back, and said in a voice so mute that it was almost inaudible:
"Chu Kewei, I let you go. Can you let me go now?"
The only sound in the study was the sound of the second hand of the wall clock.
She lowered her head, pushed the ring over his knuckles, and slid it firmly onto her ring finger.
Li Mingxuan looked down at the ring on his ring finger, his knuckles still trembling.
Li Mingxuan clutched the plain ring and suddenly laughed, until tears fell from his eyes.
He pulled off his tie, pulled her back, lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead:
"Chu Kewei——"
"You always know how to drive me crazy."
Before he kissed her, he said the last words in a mute voice:
"Since you came here on your own initiative, don't even think about leaving."
