Gentlemen's Friends

Chapter 56 Extra Story: The Doubter (4)
Trembling, he fumbled the box out of his arms, almost dropped it on the ground, and finally opened it indiscriminately, revealing the huge diamond ring that cost him a lot of savings, and then turned to the man with a calm face, kneeling kneel down...

Ye Xiutuo sprayed Rong Liu's face with a sip of wine.

Rong Liu immediately burst into tears: "...the same person is different... woo woo woo..."

Ren Ningyuan went out and said only one sentence: "All the wine in the store tonight will be charged to my account. Please feel free."

The bar was filled with cheers and shouts, and the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.Everyone didn't know what happened, but it was a good thing anyway. The boss was so generous that he couldn't do without a carnival.

In that noisy situation, Qu Tongqiu was left with a fever all over his face and a dizzy heart beating like a drum.

From the moment the ring on his hand was taken over, he was so happy and shy that his head went blank, his whole body was filled with disbelief, and he was so excited that he was almost on fire.

Although the wording may not be accurate, in a sense, he finally "married" Ren Ningyuan.

This can be regarded as the most successful, best, and luckiest thing he has done in his life. It seems that he has used up all the useless good luck he has been accumulating all the time.

If it wasn't for Ren Ningyuan to pull him out, he might not even remember the way to go for a while.

Because of the ignited atmosphere in the arena, it became difficult to move at all, but his feet were always brisk, and a strange power flowed through his whole body.If there weren't so many people crowded around, he might have danced or something in public, or sang something overjoyed.

Ren Ningyuan took him downstairs meticulously, went out, and then drove home.

In this regard, Ren Ningyuan really doesn't look like an entertainment city at all.

He never made a surprise attack, nor did he act coercively, nor did he have any impromptu surprises, but was always polite, thoughtful and prudent.

Qu Tongqiu will feel that he does not do anything rash and disrespectful, which also has a very serious sexiness.

Neither of them spoke in the car.

Qu Tongqiu didn't dare to make a sound, he just curled up his hands and feet tightly, keeping a tense and shy silence.

His heart was like a boiling soup pot, he was so happy that something poured out unstoppably, but he didn't know what to say at all.It's all right to hold back, once you open your lips, you will probably talk nonsense, and some inappropriate and strange words will come out.

People are very stupid when they are too happy, and he doesn't want Ren Ningyuan to regret because of his stupid words just after he agreed to his marriage proposal.

He didn't know why Ren Ningyuan was quiet, anyway, Ren Ningyuan had always been a taciturn and calm person.

In the jubilant atmosphere just now, the only ones who remained at normal temperature were Rong Liu who was still crying in grief, Ye Xiutuo who had to listen to his crying, and Ren Ningyuan himself.

Finally at the door of the house, Ren Ningyuan stood behind him, reached out and pushed the door firmly for him.Just the breath and aura that enveloped him from behind almost made him tremble.

"Dad, are you back?"

Qu Tongqiu still had one leg outside the door: "Uh..."

The living room is brightly lit, and there are people sitting on the sofa. Young people in their teens, with laptops and books on the table, and steaming coffee cups in their hands, all of them are sitting upright, burying their heads in discussions.

Qu Ke explained to them: "There is a problem with the report to be handed in tomorrow, and there is no suitable venue, so I asked the students to come to my home to discuss. It's okay?"

Qu Tongqiu was still frozen, unable to change his emotions freely for a while, so he could only respond: "Oh..."

"By the way, Dad," Qu Ke looked up, and acted like a baby to him as usual, "We are all very hungry after homework, do you want to show off your skills? I really want to eat duck noodle noodles."

Qu Tongqiu settled down: "Uh..."

He...of course is a kind father who is willing to cook delicious supper for young people.

Qu Tongqiu put aside all kinds of distracting thoughts, calmed down, went to the kitchen dutifully, and started cooking noodles.

The Danggui Duck Soup that has been stewed in advance in the refrigerator, because Qu Ke likes to eat it very much recently, has always been prepared.Now take it out, pour hot water into the deep pot, and put them on the fire to cook together.Take another pot to blanch the noodles, take them out when they are cooked, and put them into soup bowls.

While he was trying to concentrate, someone pushed open the door and poked his head in: "Do you need help?"

It only took Qu Tongqiu a second, and his face was so hot that he felt shy just looking at each other, so he could only look at the row of soup bowls in front of him.

"Uh……"

"let me help you."

"Oh……"

The duck meat soup also began to "gululu" boil, and the air was full of the rich aroma of angelica meat, but the faint aroma of the man beside him seemed to be able to penetrate the smell of food and directly spread into his nasal cavity.

Qu Tongqiu didn't dare to turn his head to look, and didn't know if the other party was looking at him.Just the possible gaze in his imagination and the pressure on his head made his heart beating and his face so hot that he couldn't lift his head.

I just feel that I am the same as that pot, the lid is still tight, but the inside has already boiled badly.

When the soup was ready, Qu Tongqiu poured the duck soup into each soup bowl with trembling hands.Ren Ningyuan helped him put large chunks of stewed duck meat on the noodle noodles that had been poured with soup, and he then turned around and sprinkled wine and basil one by one.

The two cooperated so well that Qu Tongqiu began to feel embarrassed.Ren Ningyuan is so calm and upright, and his tactics are steady, but he is so helpless and at a loss.

Before he knew it, the noodles were served in bowls, and he was still holding the cooking wine in a daze at Ren Ningyuan, and then he heard Ren Ningyuan say: "Give it to them."

"Oh, good."

As soon as the hot duck noodle comes out, it is warmly welcomed by young people.Qu Tongqiu looked at them feasting, and thought that his daughter was so old and was still staying up late to do homework, so he couldn't help but feel very guilty.

But Ren Ningyuan was still within his field of vision.A tall man in a suit and leather shoes can hold a bowl of noodles, and his posture can be so elegant and beautiful. With such a face, it really doesn't go well with things like duck noodles.

Qu Tongqiu sat restlessly for a while, finally waiting for everyone to finish eating the noodles with admiration.And after eating, it seems that I have to continue to discuss the report, I don't know how many hours it will take.

Ren Ningyuan was sitting beside him, the slender and strong fingers on his lap were only a few centimeters away from him, but he couldn't reach out to grab it right now.

He has always been very hospitable, and he strongly welcomes his daughter to bring her classmates home to play, but it is rare for her to bring her back once, so he actually has the urge to hope that they will leave as soon as possible.

Qu Tongqiu also felt that he had no sense of responsibility as a father.So I tried my best to suppress the anxiety in my heart, and buried myself in clearing the table.

Ren Ningyuan took the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and inevitably touched his fingers: "I'll help you."

Although the touch was only for a moment, Qu Tongqiu still trembled: "Oh..."

While waiting for the dishwasher to operate in the kitchen, he secretly looked at the other person's lips, nose, and shoulders from an angle that Ren Ningyuan couldn't notice, thinking how the man he "married" so hard could be so handsome, From head to toe, every detail is flawless.

So every minute becomes more difficult.

In fact, there is no need to stand here and wait for the bowl to be disinfected, but this is a rare space for two people to be alone.

When he was looking eagerly at Ren Ningyuan, the man suddenly looked away, and opened the half-open door: "Let's go out."

Qu Tongqiu was full of impulse and was about to burst out, but stopped abruptly in the middle of the road, a little bit out of breath.However, Ren Ningyuan had already gone out first, so he had no choice but to tidy up his mood and follow behind out of the kitchen.

Looking at the man's tall, calm and almost indifferent back from behind, he suddenly realized that, indeed, Ren Ningyuan, who accepted the ring, was acting too calmly.

If he had gotten the ring, he would have been dizzy with joy and carried himself away.

Even Yang Miao at that time, even if she didn't love him so deeply, was so excited that she covered her mouth in disbelief when she was proposed, and then said "I do" repeatedly while shedding tears.

It may be ridiculous to say, but when a person is in such a situation, as long as he puts his heart into it, there is no way to restrain that kind of happiness and joy.

And Ren Ningyuan didn't seem to have any emotions.

Just accepted the request he mustered up the courage to make, and expressed permission.that is it.

Such an attitude is not unfamiliar.Ren Ningyuan has always been like this.Tolerant, generous, willing to fulfill all his wishes.

And I have always held the feeling of being indebted and making up for him.

If you have to compare, there is basically no difference in the attitude of accepting his ring and approving his plan to open a store and lending him funds at that time.

Just turning his thoughts around a little bit, the heat on Qu Tongqiu's body that was so happy that it was about to burn just now quickly cooled down.

First she casually proposed to him, but then she never said anything about it; then she accepted his proposal, but she didn't show any joy at all.

With his intelligence, he couldn't understand such an elusive Ren Ningyuan.

Ren Ningyuan was too difficult to see through, he was so quiet that he was close to being closed, and he was so strong that he was almost stubborn.He could only see the perfect, solid exterior, but he could never go inside.

Although he knew that under the skin was the unfathomable inside, but he couldn't see anything, because Ren Ning would never let him see it.

Qu Tongqiu suddenly felt that this is not acceptable.

It doesn't matter whether he is greedy or greedy.He thought he needed an honest and clear response from Ren Ningyuan.

Ren Ningyuan has always been too vague. Even if he finds that the dishes he cooks are too salty, he will eat them all calmly.

Forever indifferent, indifferent, noncommittal.

And as it is now, the two of them will stay together for a lifetime and make a great contract. This is something that can no longer be ambiguous.

After finally accompanying his daughter and classmates to finish the report, Qu Tongqiu cleaned up the table, Ren Ningyuan asked the driver to take the young people back home, and the two returned to the bedroom in the quiet of the night after the noise.

As soon as the door was closed, Qu Tongqiu called him: "Ren Ningyuan."

The man's cuff buttons were half undone, and he stopped moving and looked up at him.

"I want to ask you."

"Ok?"

"Do you really, want to get married?"

The man put down his hand: "Why do you ask that?"

Although during the long torment, I had already prepared and revised countless drafts, but when this time came, I couldn't help but speak incoherently.

"I think... if you... don't really want to, or just... don't want to give me face, or change your mind... or... anyway... I think... you don't need to force..."

"..."

"I just don't know...what on earth are you thinking, and you know...this...isn't impossible...uh...I mean, I want to hear...your real opinion...uh..."

"..."

"If you just... don't want me to embarrass me in front of your friends, you have to return the ring to me now... er... that's... okay... Of course I don't really want you to give it back to me, I mean... I I hope you can... ah... I don't mean hope to return the ring... uh..."

In his stuttering, Ren Ningyuan had already put his hand into his pocket, took out the velvet box almost without any hesitation, and handed it to him.

Qu Tongqiu did not expect the other party to be so straightforward, without thinking, and without regret.

Although a man should have the toughness and backbone of a man, at this moment he was almost unable to resist, a soreness rushed up in his nasal cavity, so that his eyes blurred instantly.

Ren Ningyuan had already handed over the box, and he couldn't resist catching it.However, when I really hold it in my hand, I don't know what to do for a while.

Ren Ningyuan was still looking at him: "You, don't you want to open it and have a look?"

It is too embarrassing to open the returned ring with tears in my eyes.But people have already spoken, he can't refuse out of anger, and say "I don't see it, I don't see it", and then run back to the room crying?

All he could do was to face the reality with shame and humiliation, and lowered his head to open the box.

Even with tears in his eyes, Qu Tongqiu felt something was wrong.

He spent a lot of money to buy it, which was a full three-carat six-claw inlaid diamond. Why did he go to Ren Ningyuan's place and turned into three square diamonds when he came back?
With tears in his eyes, he looked at Ren Ningyuan, then at the ring, and suddenly came to his senses.

"what……"

Ren Ningyuan asked: "Do you like it?"

He seemed to understand, but he seemed to be even more confused. For a while, he could only stare at Ren Ningyuan, tongue-tied and red-faced, speechless.

The man reached out and took his hand holding the box.

On the skin is the touch of the opponent's palm, the steady strength and heat.Surrounded by such palms, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he couldn't move.

In front of him, the man bent his tall body, knelt down on one knee, and looked up at him as he did before.

"I hope you will accept me."

"..."

"It's still with me until I'm very old."

This is really not a sweet talk, and it is still not romantic at all, but he is inexplicably confused, the switch of tears and nose seems to be broken, completely out of control.

Although he knew that this was not only embarrassing, but also frightening, and might scare Ren Ningyuan back from proposing, but he couldn't control the liquid on his face at all, which was even more outrageous than Yang Miao's reaction back then.

"Do you want to?"

In the chaos, Qu Tongqiu was busy wiping his face clean, drying his hands on his trousers, handing them to Ren Ningyuan, and fearing that his fingers would not be clean, so he was in a hurry.

So much so that it took some effort before the ring finally fit on his finger.

Ren Ningyuan stood up, and Qu Tongqiu was inexplicably unable to look directly at the other person's face at this moment, let alone say something nice.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one who was not good at words, the man only held his hand silently, and after a while, pressed it on his chest.

Just feeling the vibration from the chest cavity, my eyes are blurred, this silent, huge, unimaginable, unparalleled happiness.
