Chapter 408

Gu Ren looked at the ring in front of him and his thoughts could not help drifting away, as if Ye Zhi was also standing right beside him at this moment,

The ring would be worn on her slender ring finger, brightly illuminating the world like a spark. To let it remain there and never leave that finger would be a dream of his.

Gu Ren thought of Ye Zhi’s eyes looking at him again and he couldn’t help but feel nervous. Even his heart started to beat faster as both emotions of joy and nervousness surfaced alternately.

Because only Ye Zhi could easily disturb his heart.

As long as he thought of Ye Zhi, Gu Ren would let his thoughts wander about her a little more. Once that happened, he would fall in love all over again. Then, the emotions would tug at his heartstrings as his love lingered for her before the cycle repeated.

Gu Ren lost his train of thought for a moment, but once he composed himself, he withdrew his gaze from the ring and closed the lid.

When Gu Ren picked up the box, he was extremely careful.

The store manager asked, “I wonder if you are satisfied with the finished product? The details can still be modified if you want to.”

Gu Ren smiled, and with this smile, the deep and shallow light converged in his eyes as even his breathing was filled with joy.

“I am very satisfied.”

After Gu Ren took the ring, he left the jewellery store.

Gu Ren got on the private plane. The clear blue sky seemed to be within reach as the warm and gentle sunlight shone in from the windows.

The plane crossed the sky and the layers of clouds were pulled into a line.

Gu Ren turned his head to look out the window. Though his side profile appeared cold and distinct, the emotions in his eyes revealed itself inadvertently.

He wanted to give Ye Zhi a formal marriage proposal.

In the Gu mansion.

“This pot of flowers is in the wrong place; move it to the right.”

“Let’s put this higher.”

Gu Ren carefully inspected every corner of the house, preparing for the marriage proposal he planned to carry out the next day as he tried to make every detail perfect.

When the two of them talked on the phone, Gu Ren noted that Ye Zhi would be home tomorrow.

Senior Master Gu knew about Gu Ren’s plan and kept calling his grandson to ask about the preparations. Gu Ren didn’t have time to answer the calls, so the housekeeper answered for him instead.

The entire Gu family was mobilised as they hurriedly scattered around the house with smiles on their faces.

The Young Madam would be back the next day, so they must have everything ready by then.

And Nie Jiqing was also on her way to Gu’s house. Before she came, she and Ye Zhi talked on the phone and Ye Zhi said that she would be back today. Ye Zhi would go back to the Gu mansion first to put away her luggage before going to see Nie Jiqing.

Nie Jiqing wanted to see Ye Zhi quickly and didn’t want her to make an extra trip pointlessly, so she drove directly to Gu’s house.

As soon as she came in, Nie Jiqing saw that the Gu family were all hurriedly working, decorating and arranging things. She was stunned as she looked around and found Gu Ren.

“Gu Ren, what are you doing?”

Gu Ren heard Nie Jiqing’s voice and turned to look at her, “Ye Zhi will come back tomorrow, so I’m preparing to propose to her then.”

Ye Zhi abruptly decided to go home today because she wanted to give Gu Ren a surprise. Hence, she didn’t tell him and even asked Nie Jiqing to keep it a secret as well.

Therefore, Gu Ren didn’t know anything about Ye Zhi arriving home soon.

Nie Jiqing panicked, “I just finished talking over the phone with Ye Zhi and she is actually preparing to come home now; what should I do? Should I stop her?”
