A Crazy Love Proposal
Chapter 104 - 104 69 Catching Up_2

Chapter 104: Chapter 69 Catching Up_2 Chapter 104: Chapter 69 Catching Up_2 Her butler said that Millie had brought this tree all the way from home, apparently a gift from someone very important, and she personally took care of it by fertilizing, building fences, and injecting it with nutrients.

That’s why, when he saw that photo, he noticed she had also moved the Maple to Belgium.

He used to wonder who it was that meant so much to her.

His gaze fell on the maple leaf on her ring.

Now he knew.

Even the slightest kindness from others would always stay with her; she was someone who truly cherished happiness.

She thought the ring was custom-made just for her, and he could tell how happy she was as she introduced the ring to him.

Jiang Yingyu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret.

Why couldn’t it have truly been custom-made for her?

If it were up to him, he would definitely design and craft it himself and personally slide it onto her finger.

The person who was treasured by her hadn’t really put his heart into it.

Yun Yuwan fiddled with the ring on her finger, “I thought the Maple Leaf Ring was very thoughtful, but I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.”

Back then, when she took it out of Wen Yangzhi’s pocket, he didn’t say anything, just looked at her hand and mentioned casually that it fit just right.

She thought he was commenting on the size being correct.

But it was actually a surprise, the ring not meant for her, and yet it coincidentally fit her perfectly.

In the quiet where only the sound of a stream could be heard in the classical courtyard, she felt a resilient shattering within her, as fragile, pure, and gently flowing as water, yet with an undying obstinance.

Jiang Yingyu’s clothes fluttered in the breeze created by the water.

He sat down, on the wicker chair beside her, watching her:

“Maybe it was an unintended mistake, and he also realized that the ring suits you very well, so he just went along and gave it to you. Maybe your misunderstanding even brought him a pleasant surprise.”

She laughed lightly, her voice faint. As someone who was always good at convincing herself that she was being loved, she began to find it hard to convince herself:

“Would it be a surprise?”

Her brother probably thought she was a bit silly at the time.

She assumed it was for her simply because it was in his pocket, but in reality, it had nothing to do with her.

She was getting ahead of herself again.

He had only asked her to fetch a cigarette.

In the distance, someone was opening a large barrel of draft beer, and Jiang Yingyu, not wanting her to be alone in her sadness, spoke gently:

“I forgot to tell you, this time we have fresh flower beer from Belgium. You’ve lived in Belgium before; you must be accustomed to it.”

Her attention was momentarily diverted, following his words, “Belgian fresh flower beer?”

He stood up, holding out his hand to her, his long, powerful palm reaching out before her: “Won’t you come and try it with me?”

She didn’t want to spend the whole evening with a frown, so she placed her hand on his and used it to help herself up: “Alright.”

Yun Yuwan and Jiang Yingyu walked side by side, neither too close nor too distant.

As she walked, she thought it wasn’t such a big deal. Although the ring was a misunderstanding, her brother had indeed prepared two necklaces for her, much more exquisite than this one.

Her mood slowly improved again. As they walked past the welcoming pine and white magnolia trees, she showed a hint of a smile:

“How did you manage to get Belgian beer over here?”

Seeing her mood improve slightly, Jiang Yingyu also responded to her with a light smile, though his was not very deep:

“Air freight. There are beer merchants who specialize in this. I stumbled upon it once and found it tasted good, so I wanted to bring it to the family banquet back home.”

She smiled, “I see. I was wondering why it was so rare here in our country.”

Wen Yangzhi passed through the bloom-laden crabapple trees as Zhou Fei saw the wife of the director of Chen Real Estates, hurriedly catching up with Wen Yangzhi and taking his arm.

However, as they moved from under a twisting pomegranate tree with intertwining branches,

They encountered Yun Yuwan and Jiang Yingyu, who were in the midst of conversation.

The branches of the pomegranate tree shook with the heavy fruit as the wind blew.

Yun Yuwan stopped talking.

And in the moment of eye contact, Wen Yangzhi’s eyes showed indifference, merely giving Jiang Yingyu beside her a brief glance before quietly looking at her.

Yun Yuwan saw a woman she didn’t recognize, holding Wen Yangzhi’s arm.

The woman looked at her with some confusion, seemingly not understanding why she was standing in her path.

Yun Yuwan didn’t have time to feel the loss before she caught sight of the Tourmaline Necklace on the woman’s neck.

The light green watermelon tourmaline, illuminated by the party lights, displayed a clear cat’s eye effect, more stunning than depicted on paper.

The necklace that the assistant Zheng had shown her, intended for the leading lady of the Wen family’s banquet.

Yun Yuwan didn’t understand.

Why was this necklace here?

Wasn’t her brother supposed to give it to her?
