CHAPTER 767: CHAPTER 764: WEDDING RING

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.

Tang Tang lost interest in the ring on her hand, so Mao Sanmei secretly returned it to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Because it was really too precious, she couldn’t accept it, and ever since spending these days with her daughter, she had come into a lot of money, which had already made her very satisfied. She really didn’t dare to accept Ruan Hongzhuang’s gifts anymore.

Seeing Mao Sanmei’s insistence, Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t refuse again and put it back in her makeup box, but it would probably just gather dust in the future because Ruan Hongzhuang liked to wear earrings and necklaces, but didn’t particularly like to wear rings, as they would interfere with her work.

As for Dou Dou, after knowing the situation, Tao Guangsha and his wife transferred some money to Shen Siyuan, which was for the necklace, but Shen Siyuan didn’t accept it because everything of Dou Dou’s was in his Ten Thousand Soul Banner space. Saying it was for Dou Dou, but ultimately it was his, so it wasn’t right for him to accept their money again.

After playing in Bin Hai for two days, Shen Shiyun also returned to Shanghai. With the new year approaching, they also had to prepare to go home for the holidays.

However, she had agreed with Taozi to come back after the new year to play, and also promised Ruan Hongzhuang to attend her wedding.

In any case, this girl was also a lively one, and didn’t take Shen Siyuan’s cold demeanor to heart, continuing as always.

"Ruan Ruan has all the wedding jewelry prepared, how about you? Are you ready?"

After lunch that day, Shen Siyuan was drowsily lying on a lounge chair on the balcony, and Taozi took the opportunity to snuggle into his arms, insisting on squeezing in with him.

With his eyes still closed, Shen Siyuan habitually reached down to stroke her smooth and delicate buttocks.

"Did you skip work today just to ask me this?" Shen Siyuan said.

"Why not? Come on, tell me." Taozi said, playfully nibbling on Shen Siyuan’s ear.

"Stop it."

"Say it, and I’ll stop." Taozi teased.

"I’m a man, what do I need jewelry for?" Shen Siyuan said.

"You know that’s not what I’m asking about."

Taozi reached out to pinch Shen Siyuan’s belly, but before she could do it, her butt was squeezed hard.

"It’s all ready." Shen Siyuan stopped teasing her.

He knew Taozi was asking about the wedding rings, and although she seemed to be asking about Ruan Hongzhuang’s wedding ring, she was actually asking about her own.

"Really? Let me see." Taozi sat up, full of excitement.

"No way." Shen Siyuan flatly refused.

"Come on, show me, I’m really curious." Taozi straddled Shen Siyuan.

"Don’t do this, you’re playing with fire."

Feeling her intentionally rubbing against him, Shen Siyuan warned.

"Hmph, I’m not afraid." Taozi said defiantly.

"Oh really..."

Taozi was panting, and only then did Shen Siyuan stop, not going further, as it was broad daylight, and on the balcony, they couldn’t be too obvious.

"Now can I see it?" Taozi tidied up her clothes and tousled hair, asking.

Shen Siyuan flipped his hand, and a ring appeared in his palm.

Upon seeing it, Taozi was greatly disappointed.

"Just this?"

Because the ring in Shen Siyuan’s palm looked like a fruit salad, its face made up of five different colored gems, appearing gaudy and vulgar.

"What do you mean just this? Isn’t it pretty?" Shen Siyuan said discontentedly.

"What’s pretty about it?"

Taozi reached out to grab the ring, flipping it over and over on her hand.

The more she looked, the uglier she found it, and the tackier it seemed.

"It’s too ugly, Ruan Ruan definitely won’t like it." Taozi asserted.

"That’s just you. She might really like it." Shen Siyuan said.

"Hmph, I know Ruan Ruan better, and your sense of aesthetics, tsk tsk..." Taozi was full of disdain.

Shen Siyuan laughed and said, "Look at it in the sunlight."

Hearing this, Taozi turned over, rested in Shen Siyuan’s embrace, and raised her hand with the ring toward the sky.

And then—

"Huh?" she exclaimed in surprise.

Because she found that the five gems on the ring weren’t fixed in color; there seemed to be a mist flowing within, making the ring seem almost alive.

"What is this? Could it be radioactive?" Taozi asked in amazement.

Then she felt another pinch and couldn’t help but yelp.

"Nonsense, how could it be radioactive? Try it on." Shen Siyuan said.

"Isn’t this inappropriate? This is Sister Ruan’s wedding ring, how can I wear it?" Taozi said.

Shen Siyuan gave her bottom a slap, "Don’t be so coy. If you don’t want to wear it, hand it back."

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t wear it." Taozi quickly put the ring on her finger.

And again, she let out a surprised sound.

"How does it feel?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile.

"I can’t describe it. It feels like my body became quite comfortable, but it’s hard to express." Taozi examined the ring on her hand again.

At that moment, anyone could tell that it wasn’t an ordinary ring.

"That’s right. The five stones on this ring correspond to five natural elements, and these elements correspond to parts of the human body. In other words, wearing this ring can adjust the five organs of the human body, achieving a balance and making the body healthier..."

For cultivators of the Great Wilderness, this little thing doesn’t even count as a magic artifact, but in this world, it’s quite a remarkable item.

"Wow, it even has such effects. I envy Ruan Ruan so much." While saying this, her eyes kept glancing at Shen Siyuan, the implication clear.

"Not ugly anymore?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile.

"Not ugly, it’s beautiful, looks like a colorful petal." Taozi said.

"Do you like it?" Shen Siyuan asked in return.

"What’s the use of liking it if it’s not meant for me?" Taozi removed the ring, reluctantly handing it back to Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan didn’t take it but said, "Since you like it, then it’s yours."

"Really?"

"Of course, when did I ever lie to you about this?" Shen Siyuan said.

On hearing this, Taozi, joyfully put the ring back on, but soon realized.

She looked suspiciously at Shen Siyuan and said, "This isn’t Ruan Ruan’s wedding ring, is it?"

"I don’t understand what you mean." Shen Siyuan turned over and sat up.

"I need to get some water, you better get down."

"I won’t, unless you show me Ruan Ruan’s wedding ring." Taozi wrapped her arms around his neck, hanging on to him stubbornly.

"Ruan Ruan hasn’t even seen it yet, do you think it’s appropriate for you to see it first?" Shen Siyuan said helplessly.

"It’s appropriate, come on, show it to me, and...and..."

She raised her hand, somewhat confused, and asked, "Is this the ring you prepared for me?"

Shen Siyuan nodded and then shook his head.

"What does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, Taozi clamped her legs around his waist, her hands tightening around his neck.

"It means it’s still a work in progress." Shen Siyuan said.

"Then why give it to me?" Taozi said in dissatisfaction.

"Because you insisted on seeing it." Shen Siyuan said.

"Then I’ll give it back to you and...and act like I don’t know anything..." Taozi said.

"It’s already too late now."

Shen Siyuan stood up, holding her as he walked into the house.

"What are you going to do? Put me down right now."

"Already eaten."
