Cheng Ke bit his lip and said, "Yanchu..."

He called her name. He always felt that he could handle everything calmly, but now he didn't even know how to organize the words, so he just stopped there.

After a while, he moved his lips and called her name again, "Yanchu."

Wen Yanchu blinked her eyes. Seeing his appearance, she felt a little calmer. The previous sadness and pretentiousness seemed to have calmed down in an instant.

"Yes." Yan Chu responded softly. After a moment of silence, he still didn't wait for his next words. Yan Chu finally spoke softly, "Cheng Ke, after Shaohua completes my transfer procedures, let's... go

Let’s do a pre-marriage notarization.”

She suddenly mentioned this matter again, and the topic quickly changed from the ring to the pre-marriage notarization.

Cheng Ke slammed on the brakes and stopped the car, then turned to look at her.

Her expression was so calm, Cheng Ke knew, she knew.

At least...she has noticed the words on the ring.

"Are you angry?" Cheng Ke asked her. If Cheng Ke could pay more attention to his current state, he could tell how careful he was in asking this question.

But all his attention stayed on Wen Yanchu.

Yanchu suddenly felt a little annoyed, wondering what on earth he was doing! He was obviously very self-aware and... knew how hypocritical his current situation was.

But she couldn't help it. He had broached the subject first, so naturally she couldn't hold it back anymore.

She has never been in love, and this is her first time getting married, so she doesn't understand what other women would feel if they encountered such a situation, and whether they would be as uncontrollable and hypocritical as she is now.

?

Yanchu didn't nod or shake her head. She didn't answer the question of whether she was angry or not. She just lowered her eyes gently and said, "Cheng Ke, I don't need a wedding ring. From the beginning, when we got married so fast, I

I have made all the mental preparations, even if I don’t have everything that an ordinary woman can get married, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s a wedding ring, wedding dress, wedding room, it doesn’t matter.”

Cheng Ke licked his lips lightly. To be honest, he was a little confused. He didn't know what to do, how to persuade or coax... He suddenly couldn't make up his mind.

He had never tried to coax a girl, not even Mi Heng. At that time, he was an impulsive and willful girl, while Mi Heng was gentle and generous. Cheng Ke didn't even remember how much he had accommodated himself...

…

So, he was a little confused.

He frowned slightly and looked sideways at Yan Chu. He didn't know how to answer her words, so he could only wait quietly for her next words.

"I can don't want it, but I don't want to... you use something with someone else's name engraved on it to give it to me. I would rather not have it." Yan Chu said firmly and looked into his eyes. The emotion in her eyes was serious.

of.

"That's right, I, Wen Yanchu, have never been in love. You are my first man and my husband. I don't understand anything and I am stupid most of the time. But after all, I am a person of flesh and blood, and I will still feel sad.

"Yan Chu's brows finally wrinkled slightly, he reached for the velvet box, opened it, and looked at the silver ring with diamonds on it, "I know I can't hold you to my own standards.

Maybe it’s the first time I ask others and I’ve never tried it. Since I have a blank slate, I demand others to also have a blank slate. However, I still want the most basic respect and fairness.”

Cheng Ke suddenly felt like there was a small pain in his heart. When he saw the calm expression on her face and said such words, he just felt a little uncomfortable. He directly pressed the switch and opened the window.

It was snowing again, and snowflakes drifted in through the cracks in the window and landed on his shoulders and arms.

"sorry."

Just when Yanchu thought that Cheng Ke would never say anything anymore and would probably respond with silence, she heard these three short words.

In fact, if he didn't speak anymore, Yanchu would have begun to wonder if he also thought she was being pretentious, which was why she was so uncommunicative.

But Cheng Ke has apologized directly.

"I'm sorry." His tone was unspeakably serious, and his brows were furrowed tightly. He looked at the diamond-encrusted ring in the box, took it out, and held it in his hand.

In fact, it was Mi Heng's ring. He had given it to her once. It was a very old style.

That day, because the ring was a little deformed, Mi Heng asked him to take it to a jewelry store to check its shape, and then he put it on his little finger and returned it to her when preparing for dinner. However, before he could return the ring to her, she was already dead.

.

His fingers touched the inside of the ring and he could feel the carvings inside. Cheng Ke lowered his eyes and looked at the name engraved inside the ring, and finally said, "I'm sorry, Yanchu, don't be angry. This is not the past that I can't forget, but

Mi Heng, whom I have always wanted to let go of, passed away seven years ago."

Passed away? Wen Yanchu's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at him blankly, "Go... passed away?"

It was obvious that she just knew the news. Her pupils shrank slightly and there was shock in her eyes.

Cheng Ke smiled and nodded slightly. There was a lot of desolation in his smile. He hadn't talked about what happened seven years ago for a long time. It really had been a long time.

But at this moment, he spoke with complete honesty.

"Because he and I were not from the same family, my grandfather objected very strongly. I was too young at that time, and I received the admission notice from Harvard. I didn't want to go. I didn't like to leave my hometown, but all the blame was in the eyes of others.

It seems that it's all her fault. And then my grandfather..." Cheng Ke licked his lips gently again. He raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yanchu intently and asked her, "Do you still remember what I told you?

How dark and dirty is this world?"

Yan Chu nodded his head gently and immediately realized what Cheng Ke meant. He understood what he meant almost instantly.

What kind of guilt should be engraved in his heart? Yan Chu looked at him and stared into his eyes, feeling a little cruel for a moment.

"Yanchu, are you afraid? Even if I try my best to protect you, it is very likely that you are also in the same danger."
