Chapter 2936: Don't Take It Off

A diamond ring, embedded with 11 small diamonds, luxurious yet understated, not at all ostentatious.

Two rings, exactly the same.

One is slightly larger, and on the smaller ring, there’s a pink diamond, while the larger one has a white diamond.

Li Mingxi immediately fell in love with the ring at first sight.

Xiao Lang noticed her fondness, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

The store clerk, keen on observing, smiled and asked, “Mr. Xiao, are you satisfied?”

Xiao Lang took the smaller diamond ring, then pulled over Li Mingxi’s left hand and slipped it onto her ring finger.

The fit was perfect, very suitable.

Li Mingxi’s fingers were fair, slender, and long, making the ring look stunning on her.

Xiao Lang said to her, “This is a ring I designed. Do you like it?”

“You designed it? When?!” Li Mingxi was surprised.

“I started designing it a long time ago. I knew there would be a day when it would come in handy. Now that I’ve put it on you, you’re not allowed to take it off!”

“…”

Li Mingxi didn’t want to make him lose face in front of others, so she said nothing.

Xiao Lang picked up the larger diamond ring and put it on his own ring finger.

He pulled over Li Mingxi’s hand, placing both hands together, giving a perfect match feeling.

The store clerk constantly praised them, and Xiao Lang listened with enjoyment.

With the rings made, Xiao Lang was very satisfied. He settled the remaining payment, then led Li Mingxi out of the store.

Only then did Li Mingxi have a chance to ask him, “Xiao Lang, is this a wedding ring?”

“Yes.” Xiao Lang nodded.

Li Mingxi huffed, “I haven’t agreed to marry you yet!”

“You’ve already put on the ring; whether you agree or not, you have to agree now.”

“I can still take it off.”

“If you do, just throw it away. Don’t keep it or return it to me.”

Li Mingxi was speechless—could he be any harsher?!

If it were someone else threatening her like this, Li Mingxi would surely toss the ring onto the street, letting whoever wanted it pick it up.

No, she wouldn’t even give them the chance to put the ring on her.

But it was Xiao Lang’s gift, and she couldn’t bear to throw it away…

Xiao Lang tightened his grip on her hand, not giving her a chance to decide: “However, I’d still prefer if you didn’t take it off, save me some face, will you?”

“I can not take it off for now…”

“Are you hungry? Let’s go eat!” Xiao Lang promptly interrupted her, preventing her from saying the ‘but’ that followed.

As long as she temporarily doesn’t take it off, he has a way to make her never take it off.

Li Mingxi was momentarily stunned, a bit unable to keep up with his train of thought.

“Let’s eat here!” Xiao Lang happily pulled her into a Sichuan restaurant.

With his diversion, Li Mingxi no longer spoke about the ring.

Xiao Lang ordered a few dishes that Li Mingxi liked, chatting with her all the while, making her eat more than usual.

Seeing her good appetite, Xiao Lang was delighted, and Li Mingxi also felt happy inside.

…

After finishing the meal and leaving the Sichuan restaurant, Xiao Lang intended to send Li Mingxi home.

Li Mingxi shook her head, “I still have things to do, let’s go our separate ways.”

“You still don’t want to go home?” Xiao Lang asked, pursing his lips.

Li Mingxi didn’t know how to respond, she simply said, “I have things to do, I really do.”

If Xiao Lang let her go, perhaps Li Mingxi would escape, or maybe she’d keep hiding and not show up.

But if he didn’t let her go, she’d be angry, thinking he was domineering and unreasonable.
