343: Hay Rings

Two hours passed in a flash.

Lin Xuan recounted his experiences from the seven days at the bottom of the cliff with yearning in his tone.

Basically, every two sentences, one would include the name Xia Qingxue.

In his description, Xia Qingxue had taken care of him meticulously for seven days.

And his heart, too, had silently drawn closer to her.

His gentle tone was directed towards the person in his memory.

In reality, the Xia Qingxue right in front of him lacked that gentle attitude.

It was as if the 'real person' before him was less appealing than the one in his memory.

And when Xia Qingxue heard Lin Xuan's descriptions, her expression changed from initial stiffness to later jealousy and hidden resentment.

She hadn't expected that fellow would have given so much during the time Lin Xuan couldn't see or hear.

No wonder Lin Xuan's attitude towards her was completely different from his previous indifferent state.

Fortunately, everything that woman Gu Bing did was just adding to her own achievements.

Who told that woman to be so foolish as to push Lin Xuan away?

Now, even if Gu Bing stood up and said that the person who accompanied and took care of Lin Xuan at the bottom of the cliff was her, no one would believe it.

After listening to Lin Xuan's narration, Xia Yuanfu suddenly sighed, "Based on this, you and Xia Qingxue are already deeply in love and perfectly matched?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingxue's face turned red, "Father!"

"Cough." Lin Xuan cleared his throat, sat up straight, and said to Xia Yuanfu seriously, "Uncle Xia, actually, after escaping from the bottom of the cliff this time, I had the intention of marrying Xia Qingxue."

"So, I want to take this opportunity to propose to you and hope you can agree to me and Xia Qingxue being together."

"The Child has grown up," Xia Yuanfu looked at Xia Qingxue and Lin Xuan with emotion and relief.

"Xia Qingxue, what do you think?"

"I..." Xia Qingxue lowered her head shyly, "I want to be with Lin Xuan."

Upon receiving this answer, Xia Yuanfu no longer hesitated, "Lin Xuan is a good A Man. I feel relieved knowing you are with him, Xia Qingxue."

"Since that's the case, how about I prepare for your engagement ceremony next week?"

"I, I have no objection," Xia Qingxue's face was flushed, and she glanced at Lin Xuan a few times.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly, "Uncle Xia's arrangements are fine."

"Alright then, this matter is settled!"

"As for the engagement rings, I'll provide the money, and you two can pick them out yourselves."

"There's no need to buy engagement rings," Lin Xuan waved his hand and pointed to his ring finger, "Xia Qingxue already wove a ring for me using dry grass at the bottom of the cliff."

"This weaving is really beautiful," Xia Yuanfu smiled and looked at Xia Qingxue, "Xia Qingxue, I, as your Father, didn't know you had this skill."

"Xia Qingxue, where is your ring?" Lin Xuan asked from the side.

Back at the bottom of the cliff, when he held 'Xia Qingxue''s hand, he felt another dry grass ring on her finger.

"I..." With her hands clasped together, Xia Qingxue forced a stiff smile.

How could she possibly have a ring woven from dry grass?

Such a speechless and cheap thing could only be made by that fellow Gu Bing.

"I lost it," With a hint of casualness in her tone, Xia Qingxue wanted to quickly move on.

However, as soon as she said this, Lin Xuan's brows gradually furrowed.

Lost?

How could something like this be lost?

And Xia Qingxue's tone... how could she be so indifferent?

"Can you remember roughly where you lost it? I'll go look."

"I forgot," Xia Qingxue rubbed her hair, "Oh dear, why fuss over a dry grass ring? No matter how good that ring is, can it compare to those engagement rings in the mall that cost hundreds of thousands?"

"How can you say that?" Lin Xuan found Xia Qingxue's words unbearable.

Xia Yuanfu, seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming awkward, immediately cleared his throat, "Alright, alright, things like engagement rings are just a formality. Look, the engagement is between the two of you."

"As long as you two are together, things with special meaning will continuously arise. Thinking this way, what is there to be troubled about? Right?"

"Exactly, it's just a dry grass ring. Do you really want to marry me with such a cheap thing? Am I not worthy of those high-end engagement rings?" As Xia Qingxue thought about it, she felt very wronged.

She got up and ran straight back to her room.
