INSIDE the VIP room of a well-known jewelry, a handsome man wearing a crisp ck suit was sitting inside. There were three ring catalogues in front of him. All of which had elegant and beautiful designs. And, of course, very expensive.


    "Master Luo, what type of ring are you looking for?" asked the manager of the store who was personally assisting this VIP customer.


    "Something for an engagement," the handsome man said while browsing through one of the catalogues.


    The manager was surprised. But she managed not to show it on her face. She’s a professional after all. But still, she couldn’t believe that the eldest son of the Luo family was now getting engage. She hadn’t heard any gossip about him being in a rtionship before. Could it possibly be an arrange marriage?


    That certainly was possible. Well, whatever. It’s not like it had something to do with her anyway. The important thing was to satisfy the customer.


    "Can I ask what is Master Luo’s requirement?"


    "A unique but very beautiful ring," Luo Ren responded. Then an image suddenly shed in his mind, that of a tall young woman with sharp features. And he couldn’t help the smile that appeared on his face. "Yes, just like her."


    The assistant raised one of her brows. It seemed like it was not an arranged marriage after all. If that was the case, then she already had a ring in mind. She picked a special catalogue and opened it to one of the pages inside.


    "How about this Master Luo? This was designed by an up-anding designer. She named it ’Rose in Bloom’."


    On the picture was a silver ring with a pink diamond as a center. But that was not all. The head of the ring was shaped like petals. It had smaller pink diamonds iid on it, making it really seemed like it was a pink rose blooming.


    Luo Ren’s eyes brightened when he saw it. This ring, it was simply perfect. Just imagining it ce on her left ring finger already brought a small on his face.


    "This is perfect," he said.


    "Good. I will go and get it now."


    A few more minutes had passed and Luo Ren was now on his way out of the store. A velvet box with a ring was now in his breast pocket.


    "Thank you, Master Luo, and congrattions on your engagement," the assistant said.


    Luo Ren grinned. "It’s not official yet. I’m just about to propose."


    A ck Harley-Davidson parked on the airport parking lot. The young man driving got off the motorcycle and removed his helmet, revealing a handsome face. His body was very well-built, as shown with his bulging muscles.


    He started walking towards the arrival area of the airport. He looked around and happened to see a poster for an uing movie. The ones on it were the captain of team Celestials and that other woman who was in their team. No, he should probably say former since both had already retired from ying.


    Just like the members of team Yunyue.


    Of course, it didn’t mean that they didn’t y anymore. He still logged into his ount from time to time. They just no longer participate in any events and stuffs. They’re just casually ying now.


    He continued to walk towards the arrival area and a smile crossed his lips when he saw the tall woman walking at a distance. She had a cap covering her long hair that was dyed in blue with purple highlights. She was wearing a leather jacket, ripped jeans, and a pair ofbat boots. She was carrying a knapsack over her shoulder.


    Luo Jin ran forward and called, "Yuqi!"


    Su Yuqi turned towards his direction. She looked surprised but then quickly smirked.


    "Wee back," Luo Jin said once he was near Su Yuqi.


    "I didn’t expect you toe here," Su Yuqi said.


    "You’ve been gone for a year. Of course, I had to wee you."


    "Yeah. It’s already been a year, huh," Su Yuqi said as if she couldn’t believe that time had passed that quick already. "It seems I kept you waiting."


    Luo Jin gazed at Su Yuqi’s beautiful face and smiled. "It’s fine. I’m used to waiting."


    Su Yuqi also smiled and then walked past Luo Jin. "Maybe you don’t have to wait anymore."


    Luo Jin was startled when he heard that. He sharply turned to Su Yuqi. "Hey, Yuqi, what do you mean by that?"


    Su Yuqi only smirked at him before walking forward. So, he had no choice but run after her.


    "Hey, Ji Yun, can you juste and save me?" Bai Ze asked over the phone.


    He was standing in the middle of a crowd inside a hall. If that was all, he wouldn’t mind. But this hall had posters of 2D boys in, well, very close positions. Like hugging, holding hands, cheeks touching, he even saw one that was kissing. In short, this was a convention for girls and some boys who liked 2D boy to boy action.


    "I’m busy. Who told you to go to that ce?" Shen Ji Yun said.


    "Hey, if Xiao Yan asked you to, I don’t know, go to a rock metal concert, wouldn’t you go?"


    There was no response. The other’s silence already meant that he agreed.


    "You went there with your girlfriend. Just bear with it. I’m hanging up."


    Then it was followed by a busy tone. Bai Ze almost cursed. Who said that one could rely on a friend during times like these?


    "Ah Ze!" called a woman’s voice from behind him.


    Bai Ze tried his best to show a smile before turning around. The woman had a big smile on her face. She was petite and dainty, wearing a loose cashmere sweater and denim shorts paired with sneakers and thigh-length ck and white socks. Her long hair was tied in twin braids. And her big cat-like eyes were behind a pair of big round sses.


    She gestured for him toe over. And Bai Ze could only run towards her.


    Luo Yan stretched out his arms. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost five o’clock in the afternoon. He stood up and walked out of his office. There were three programmers outside, all young and obviously fresh graduates.


    "Are you leaving now, Chief?" asked one.


    "Yes. You three should also go home and rest," he said. "Theing days would be very hectic. You won’t know when you’ll be able to go home on time next," he added, joking a bit.


    "It’s fine, Chief. Overtime means more money."


    Luo Yan only shook his head before going out of their department.


    This was a smallpany that had only been recently established. It only upied a floor of amercial building at S City and had a small number of employees. But it also had its advantage. Because it’s a subsidiarypany under Moonlight Media – the biggest gamingpany in the country.


    It’s name was Night Cloud Games. Was there still a need to ask the reason why?


    When he passed a room with a ’Design Department Head’ que on it, he thought of knocking just in case someone was still there. And someone was indeed there because he heard a voiceing from the inside telling him toe in, so he opened the door.


    Inside the room, he saw a tall woman whose face was almost buried on whatever it was she was doing.


    "Jiao Jiao, don’t you have dinner tonight with brother?"


    With his sudden question, the woman busy with work raised her head. Her hair was fashionably short and also a tad bit messy. Unlike when they were in high school, she was no longer wearing those thick sses. Which now showed her sharp eyes and handsome features.


    She abruptly stood up. "You’re right, I almost forgot. Thank you for reminding me, Yan Yan."


    Luo Yan only smiled. "You’re wee."


    "Do you think Brother Ren will be angry?" she asked, looking a little bit anxious.


    "The only time my older brother will ever be angry at you is if you break up with him," Luo Yan said with a bit of teasing.


    Sure enough, Yu Jiao’s whole face turned red.


    Luo Yan onlyughed. He then closed the door and continued walking towards the president’s office. He smiled at the secretary/assistant sitting outside and asked if the president was inside.


    "Yes. You can just go inside, Mr. Luo."


    Luo Yan nodded. He didn’t bother to knock and just opened the door.


    Inside was a man sitting behind a desk and busily looking over a couple of papers. His ck hair was cleanly swept back and his blue eyes were full of concentration. No matter how many times he saw him wearing a suit, the effect was still the same. He was still as handsome.


    He probably noticed his presence because he raised head. When he saw him, a smile quickly bloomed on that handsome face, melting away all the coldness that was surrounding him.


    "Yan Yan."


    Luo Yan walked towards the other’s desk and leaned on it. "Do you still have a lot of work to do, Brother Ji Yun?" he asked while looking at the stack of papers on the desk.


    "Just a little bit," Shen Ji Yun answered. "I’ll just look over a few more and then we can go to dinner."


    Luo Yan walked behind Shen Ji Yun’s chair and hugged him from behind, putting his chin on his shoulder. "Aww... my boyfriend is too hardworking."


    Shen Ji Yun cleared his throat. "Yan, don’t make trouble."


    Luo Yan chuckled when he saw the other’s ear tip turning red. They had already been together for years and yet Shen Ji Yun would still blush at the simplest thing. He stood up and let go.


    "Is Uncle Yi Mu still on vacation with Uncle Yue?" he thought of asking.


    "Yeah, they told me it’s their second honeymoon so we should not disturb them."


    "Second honeymoon, huh? Maybe the two of us should also get married. Then—"


    Luo Yan wasn’t able to finish what he was saying because his arm was suddenly pulled. He felt his body falling backward and instinctively closed his eyes. When he opened his gaze, he was already sitting on Shen Ji Yun’sp.


    "Don’t tempt me or I might just really abduct you overseas and have you married me on the spot," Shen Ji Yun said, looking at him with his intense blue gaze.


    Luo Yan quickly got over his surprise and a big yful smile appeared on his face. He raised his arms and put them around Shen Ji Yun’s neck.


    "I wouldn’t mind being abducted." He slowly closed the distance between them and then whispered on his ear, "But you should propose first. And I want a grand one."


    Shen Ji Yun also smiled. "Your wish is mymand, my love."
