Lan Baobao lived a boring and monotonous life, but fortunately, these games temporarily sparked her interest. Even when Mu Jiangfeng was not around, she could immerse herself in playing, only to feel an inexplicable loneliness when she stopped.
She felt that after the adrenaline surged and then subsided, it only made her feel even more bored and lonely.
Recently, Mu Jiangfeng seemed like a different person; he hadn't come to see her in two days. Instead, he just ordered takeout for himself—pizza, pizza, burger, burger, burger...
Lan Baobao thought that if she kept eating like this, she would turn into a pizza or a burger.
She really didn't understand what was going on with Mu Jiangfeng lately. He had been so considerate before, even willing to give up work to take care of her. How had his attitude changed so suddenly? Lan Baobao sat with her legs crossed on the coffee table, bored as she watched a drama, thinking to herself that men in this world were even more fickle than women.
Lan Baobao firmly remembered this point: from now on, if any woman turned against her faster than flipping a page in a book, Lan Baobao would absolutely disagree.
As for Mu Jiangfeng, he was certainly not as Lan Baobao imagined.
During this time, Mu Jiangfeng was nearly driven crazy by thoughts of Lan Baobao! For two consecutive nights, whenever he tried to sleep, his mind was filled with her image.
Each time he woke up, it was because he dreamt that Lan Baobao rejected him and slapped him.
In this period of time, Mu Jiangfeng had no idea how many times he had dreamt of being scolded by Lan Baobao.
But he couldn't go see Lan Baobao right now.
For Mu Jiangfeng, proposing was a significant event that required careful attention to every detail.
Even choosing a wedding ring—a seemingly simple task—had already stumped the usually decisive Mu Jiangfeng.
Mu Jiangfeng wandered around the mall for a while, unsure of what to do.
There were so many styles of rings that Mu Jiangfeng's eyes were already confused. He didn't know which one would be suitable for Lan Baobao.
In desperation, Mu Jiangfeng could only choose one method: to select a ring with a diamond as large as possible and a simple style that wouldn't go wrong.
"Excuse me, sir, which style are you interested in? Our selection is the best, and I'm sure you'll find something you like!"
The saleswoman at the jewelry store carefully arranged a dazzling array of rings with various styles in front of Mu Jiangfeng.
At a glance, it was clear from Mu Jiangfeng's attire that he was someone who paid great attention to detail and had taste. He must have quite a bit of money; as long as he was generous, she was sure to make a significant profit this time.
The saleswoman flashed a very gentle smile at Mu Jiangfeng.
Mu Jiangfeng stopped and looked at the rings displayed on the counter.
Under the illumination of the lights, these rings sparkled brightly, and Mu Jiangfeng suddenly felt dizzy; they all looked quite similar, and he had no idea which one to choose.
"I... I want to buy an engagement ring, but these rings all look similar! There isn't anything particularly special about them!"
"Ah, actually, at first glance, they may seem similar, but when worn on the hand, they can differ greatly! Let me show you!"
The saleswoman took three rings with higher carat diamonds from the counter, wore them on her own hand, and extended her hand towards Mu Jiangfeng. "Sir, look at this one; it enhances the shape of your hand. This one makes the wearer appear more elegant, and this one has a more feminine touch. Each has subtle differences in appearance, but the feeling when worn is completely different. What kind of style are you looking for?"
Mu Jiangfeng thought for a moment; these options seemed fine, but they didn't quite match Lan Baobao's temperament.
Moreover, the main issue was that the diamonds on these rings seemed a bit too much. He remembered that when Ye Zixun got engaged, the diamond ring he gave to Lan Baobao was about the size of an egg. If Lan Baobao saw these diamonds, would she look down on him?
Mu Jiangfeng shook his head; no way, he absolutely could not lose to Ye Zixun!
"I think all of these look pretty average. I don't want any of these; just bring me the most expensive one. It must have enough carat weight and be finely crafted, the kind that sparkles!" Mu Jiangfeng believed that the most expensive option was always the right choice.
The more expensive it was, the finer the craftsmanship would be. As long as it didn't fall short of Ye Zixun, Mu Jiangfeng felt it was worth any amount of money!
"Ah, then this is the one! Please wait a moment; I'll go get it for you!" The saleswoman liked high-end customers like this, so her tone became even more gentle.
She quickly retrieved the store's treasure from a display case in the center of the shop. The ring sparkled brilliantly, with a large diamond at its center that showcased exquisite cutting craftsmanship, radiating dazzling brilliance.
The surrounding pink diamonds did not dull this ring; instead, they added a lustrous quality to the centerpiece.
It looked not only more eye-catching and charming but also had a smooth and shiny appearance.
"Sir, take a look at this diamond ring; it is our store's treasure. Generally, only those attending significant events wear it. However, because it's quite expensive, it has always been displayed in the showcase. Occasionally, some esteemed customers come to rent this ring. Do you think this price is acceptable? I can offer you a 20% discount!"
The salesperson tapped a few numbers on her calculator and then handed it to Mu Jiangfeng. He glanced at the number on the calculator and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll take this one!"
The salesperson was overjoyed, and her face instantly blossomed with a radiant smile.
Ah, today is truly a lucky day; she unexpectedly encountered such a generous customer!
This time, it really feels like a pie falling from the sky right onto her head!
"Ah! Sir, your taste is truly remarkable! Your fiancée is so fortunate to have such a wonderful man who cares for her!"
Mu Qingcheng felt delighted by the praise from the saleswoman.
He really is a good man; if Lan Baobao were with him, she would definitely be a happy woman!
"I really envy your fiancée's luck to have someone as good as you to love her. May I ask what size your girlfriend's fingers are?"
Size?
He only occasionally held Lan Baobao's hand and had never measured it with a tape measure, so how could he know what size her fingers are?
But he certainly couldn't call her right now to ask; that would be too revealing. Moreover, Lan Baobao wouldn't tell him her size anyway!
Mu Jiangfeng hesitated for a moment, then upon seeing the saleswoman's fair hands, he immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Her fingers should be about the same size as yours. From what I can see, the thickness seems similar; both of your hands are equally beautiful and charming."
The saleswoman's face instantly turned red. Being praised by such a handsome and suave man like Mu Jiangfeng made her genuinely shy! Her heart fluttered!
If she weren't a slightly principled saleswoman, she might have mistakenly thought that this was some secret admirer pursuing her in this way.
"Alright, I'll adjust the size for you and have a professional technician from the technical department deliver it. May I ask, will you be paying by card or cash?"
The saleswoman blushed, feeling quite foolish.
How could such a large amount possibly be paid in cash?
Mu Jiangfeng generously paid with his card, and two hours later, the ring was finally in his hands.
The staff at the Jewelry Store, seeing Mu Jiangfeng purchase such an expensive item, quickly became very accommodating, preparing all the necessary documents and packaging everything in the highest quality gift box.
Mu Jiangfeng opened the box and saw the perfectly crafted diamond ring. He nodded and said, "Hmm, not bad!"
"This ring is definitely of high quality, sir. Would you like me to arrange for it to be delivered to your destination?"
"No need, I'll take care of it myself."
Mu Jiangfeng placed the ring inside his suit pocket and ordered a large bouquet of roses and lilies online, adorned with a few imported chocolates.
Finally ready with all the preparations, Mu Jiangfeng gathered his courage after carefully contemplating for an entire afternoon and made his way to the apartment.
The apartment was devoid of any energy; Lan Baobao had already gone to bed early. On good nights, she would fall asleep quickly; on bad nights, she might toss and turn until midnight before managing to get some rest.
At first, she felt quite helpless, as if life had lost all hope. But after thinking for a moment, Lan Baobao realized that she was actually missing her two children.
Lan Baobao did not blame Mu Jiangfeng, but this dark and lonely life really made her heart wither quite a bit. After all, she had never been away from her two children for this long. Without them by her side, Lan Baobao would often find herself thinking of them, and whenever she did, her heart would involuntarily ache.
Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo also began to feel a bit uneasy.
Mom had been gone for a week, and there hadn't even been a single phone call. Was something wrong?
But it didn't seem like anything bad had happened, did it?
Her face had appeared on television so many times; if someone were to kidnap her, they would have surely made a ransom call by now.
Up until now, the Ye Family had not received any calls, which meant that Lan Baobao had not been kidnapped.
Then it must be that she was being coerced...
Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo twitched their lips. Given Lan Baobao's character, how could she possibly let someone take advantage of her? Not everyone is as clueless as Ye Zixun, who has that kind of naive mindset!
After ruling out every possibility, Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo concluded that the most likely scenario was that Lan Baobao might have been long-term taken advantage of by Mu Jiangfeng!
Aside from Mumu and Ruo Ruo, it seemed that there was still someone in Lan Baobao's heart that she couldn't let go of. Despite forcing herself countless times not to think about him, whenever night fell, her longing for him would surge like a spring that couldn't be suppressed.
