Lu Ruojiang helplessly said, "This is the betrothal gift I gave to Ningning. Naturally, I have to keep it well. Why would I choose such an inconvenient bracelet if it's for everyday wear?"
"Betrothal gift?" Auntie Li Er looked surprised as she glanced back and forth between Lu Ruojiang and Qian Ningning. "When did you decide this? Why didn't I notice?"
"A few days ago, when you weren't here," Qian Ningning said with a smile. "And it's not really decided. Just because I'm so popular doesn't mean I have to marry him!"
Qian Ningning still has doubts in her heart, but Lu Ruojiang is not in a hurry to prove himself. Instead, he smiles and says, "Yes, I still need to continue working hard."
Auntie Li Er can almost understand why Qian Ningning and Lu Ruojiang are like this, but she doesn't expose it. She just looks at them and jokes, "It seems like I should stay away from Ningning in the future."
"That would be for the best," Lu Ruojiang nods in agreement, as if he didn't realize that Auntie Li Er was just joking.
Upon hearing Lu Ruojiang say this, Qian Ningning seemed a bit shy, while Auntie Li Er was completely speechless. She's so jealous, was she a vinegar jar in her past life?
...
Seeing Qian Ningning getting closer and trusting her more, Lu Ruojiang couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
He wants to openly marry Qian Ningning and let everyone know that she is his queen. He also wants to present the best things to Qian Ningning and make her stop suffering. However, Lu Ruojiang still doesn't have full confidence that Qian Ningning will remain intimate with him and not withdraw or distance herself after knowing his true identity. After thinking it over, Lu Ruojiang feels that he should be cautious and approach the matter indirectly first.
On that day, Lu Ruojiang found a good opportunity. After seeing off a wealthy young man, he turned to Qian Ningning and said, "Ningning, although I haven't fully remembered everything, I feel like my family is very wealthy and respected by others."
Qian Ningning replied while looking at account books, "When I saved you, you were dressed quite well, so you must be from a wealthy family. And you mentioned being respected, so it's likely that your family is not only wealthy but also benevolent and highly esteemed."
Lu Ruojiang was puzzled, "Ningning, why don't you suspect that I am from an official's family?"
Qian Ningning said, "If you were a young master from a prominent family, how come there's no news about you at all? There's not even a single mention of you on the bulletin board."
"Perhaps my status is too high to be publicly known, so I have to search in secret?"
"Too high of a status?" Qian Ningning raised her head and raised an eyebrow, "Such as?"
"Such as if I were a prince?" Lu Ruojiang probed.
Qian Ningning had initially thought he had remembered something, but she didn't expect such an unreliable answer. She rolled her eyes in exasperation and asked, "Who are you chatting with to come up with such nonsense?"
"No one," Lu Ruojiang said helplessly. He couldn't do anything if she didn't believe him. "For example, I naturally guessed at something higher."
Qian Ningning laughed, "That's just too unrealistic of you."
"What if I really were a prince? Ningning, would you still be with me?"
Qian Ningning saw that Lu Ruojiang was serious, abandoned her casual attitude, thought carefully, and shook her head, "No, I know my own identity. If you really were a prince, being with you would entail too much. I don't have enough courage."
"And I don't believe a prince can keep his promise to only protect me."
"I can do it!" Lu Ruojiang looked firmly at Qian Ningning.
"I know you can do it, I mean the prince can't do it!" Qian Ningning casually said, "After all, he faces too many temptations, I dare not bet."
