Chapter 29 One Must Wear Something to Declare Ownership, My Fiancée

Chapter 29 There must be something to wear to declare ownership, my fiancée Pei Xi Xu couldn't help but stare at Tan Zheng for a long time. Although this man looked lazy, the indifference and rebelliousness that occasionally flashed in his eyes told him that he came from a wealthy family. That's right, anyone who could be engaged to the eldest daughter of the Song family would naturally have a good family background. Song Ni introduced Tan Zheng again. "Brother Xi Xu is a friend of my brother's, and he's also considered my senior." Pei Xi Xu adjusted his glasses, calmed his emotions, and extended his hand. "Hello." Tan Zheng found this person interesting. He had been shocked and saddened moments ago, but now he was acting as if nothing had happened. If he hadn't seen his reaction earlier, he would have truly believed that this person had no interest in Song Ni. He reached out and shook hands casually, and just as he was about to withdraw, he felt the man's grip tighten considerably. Tan Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, a faint smile in his eyes, but more of indifference and disdain. He didn't move, and exerted force in return. Lu Hao Ting had suffered this kind of trick before and immediately recognized the competition between the two. He first looked at Pei Xi Xu, then kept staring at Tan Zheng, but neither of them showed much expression, making it impossible for him to tell who had the upper hand. Finally, Pei Xi Xu withdrew his hand first and turned his head to look at Song Ni. "Ni Ni, do you want to continue?" Song Ni shook her head. "Let's stop here for today. Brother Xi Xu, I'll find you for a spar if I have the chance." Pei Xi Xu had always admired Song Ni's stubborn and self-challenging personality. He remembered that before Song Ni came to the dojo, the daily training was always boring and tedious. After Song Ni arrived, these monotonous days became much more fun. Back then, Song Ni was still young, with fair and tender skin, and was plump, like a fragile baby doll. Even their stern master's heart softened completely, fearing she would get hurt. But Song Ni? Under Song Jing's guidance, she endured hardships and never complained of pain. Everyone in the dojo doted on Song Ni like their own sister, and he was no exception. However, he was not good with words and had always watched from the sidelines. As he watched, Song Ni grew up in the blink of an eye and became a young woman. So bright and so dazzling. Pei Xi Xu adjusted his glasses, hiding the emotions churning in his heart. This time, without any hesitation, he raised his hand and rubbed Song Ni's head. "Okay, I'll be there anytime." Song Ni looked up at him, and Pei Xi Xu smiled and withdrew his hand. "Time flies so fast, my little sister who I watched grow up is getting married." Song Ni's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she smiled and tilted her head to look at Pei Xu Xi. "Brother Xi Xu, you should hurry too. My brother is planning to have a child, you can't fall too far behind." Pei Xi Xu just smiled faintly and didn't reply. Before leaving, his eyes were filled with Song Ni, and he didn't look at Tan Zheng again. ... Tan Zheng said he came to pick up Lu Hao Ting, but in the end, Lu Hao Ting was picked up by his agent. Song Ni, having worked up a sweat, took a quick shower in the dojo and tied her hair up in a messy bun. They say that messy buns tied before showering are the prettiest. As soon as she got in the car, Song Ni pulled down the small mirror on the passenger seat and looked at herself for a long time. Tan Zheng sat beside her, watching her. Her face still had a faint blush, her hair was styled casually, and she exuded a sense of post-exercise relaxation and contentment. Lu Hao Ting said he regretted missing Song Ni's spar, and indeed it was a bit of a shame, but not everyone could see Song Ni at this moment. Without makeup, her face was as rosy as a peach. The sun was shining brightly, and good weather always brings a good mood. Tan Zheng kept pondering the identity Song Ni had introduced him with and started the car. "Where are we going?" Song Ni finally stopped admiring herself and put the mirror away. Tan Zheng didn't speak, and Song Ni didn't press him; after all, he wasn't going to sell her. The car stopped in front of a high-end custom diamond ring store. Song Ni raised an eyebrow and looked at Tan Zheng in surprise. "What is this for?" Tan Zheng smiled, nonchalantly, perhaps enjoying the sunshine. He seemed a bit lazy again. "There must be something to wear to declare ownership, so no one else has their eyes on you, right? My fiancée." Song Ni instinctively clutched her seatbelt. She was silent, her eyes fixed on Tan Zheng, who met her gaze without flinching, a playful smile on his lips. After these few days of knowing each other, Tan Zheng finally revealed his unruly and possessive side to her. She wasn't so narcissistic as to believe Tan Zheng was buying her a ring because he liked her. It was just his possessiveness triggered by seeing Pei Xi Xu at the dojo. But she was still a little surprised. After all, the stable and profound demeanor Tan Zheng had shown a while ago was not easily provoked. She had heard from Yang Yang that people who are more arrogant and proud tend to have a strong sense of ownership over their possessions. Before she even married into his family, Tan Zheng was already thinking about declaring his ownership. This possessiveness was truly significant. However, Song Ni didn't feel it was inappropriate. Because she was also a very possessive person. She wanted to high-profilely let everyone know that Tan Zheng was her man, and she was the future Mrs. Tan. It had nothing to do with affection or love. Song Ni smiled broadly. "Then do I have to prepare one for you too? Hmm? My fiancé." She deliberately slowed down on the last three words, enunciating each one clearly. A flicker of amusement flashed across Tan Zheng's dark, deep eyes. Song Ni was truly different from other women. It was strange, wasn't it? Weren't they saying the Song family spoiled her to the heavens? How did she end up with such a personality? The two walked into the store, each going their separate ways, with enough space between them for another person to stand. Song Ni was wearing a black casual suit, while Tan Zheng wore a tank top, a windbreaker, and loose black pants. They were dressed as casually as could be. With such attire, who would think they were here to buy diamond rings? If not for the undeniable aura they exuded, the sales assistants might have ignored them altogether. Since it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, they wouldn't be able to get custom-made pieces. Song Ni also felt that an engagement ring didn't need to be overly complicated; something practical for everyday wear would suffice, so she carefully selected from the display case. Song Ni was in a playful mood and picked a gaudy and extremely exaggerated style. She asked Tan Zheng, "What do you think of this one?" Tan Zheng glanced at her and let out a chuckle from his chest. "If you want to wear it, wear it." He wouldn't join in. Song Ni understood his meaning. Why wasn't he taking the bait? Song Ni would certainly not fancy such a style; she disliked gaudy things. She preferred simple and direct. In the end, she chose a simple classic style: a single band with two rows of small diamonds on the sides. It wasn't ostentatious but was still dazzling. The sales assistant brought out Song Ni's size. Song Ni, with a beaming smile, looked at Tan Zheng and extended her hand. "You put it on for me." Tan Zheng lowered his gaze. Under the store's lighting, Song Ni's hand looked incredibly fair and tender. (End of this chapter)
