The night sky was dotted with stars, like shining diamonds adorning the beauty and wonder of the darkness.
For a couple in love, they wished they could be together 24 hours a day.
There was never enough time.
Rong Jingshu and Rong Xuan were just such a couple.
Taking advantage of the end of the seminar, Rong Jingshu brought Rong Xuan to the top of the Rong family's mountain, a stargazing spot.
Here, one could gaze at the stars, the sea.
One could see mountains and rivers, and the brilliance of the city's night view.
Through the high-powered lens, Rong Jingshu showed Rong Xuan his past and his dreams one by one.
He said he wanted to eliminate evil and bring peace and order to the land.
He said he wanted to see his country prosperous and its people living in peace and contentment.
He said his greatest dream was ordinary happiness.
Rong Jingshu took his girlfriend to see city after city, places where he grew up, places where he faced danger on missions, places where people held faith...
Rong Xuan listened intently, completely engrossed, like a devoted fan.
So much so that when Rong Jingshu asked, "Are you willing to accompany me and live an ordinary life?" Rong Xuan replied without hesitation, "Yes, yes, I am willing."
She liked him. Although they had only known each other for a day or two, it didn't stop her from being infatuated with him.
She liked his responsibility, his composure in the face of danger, his bravery.
In short, she liked all of Rong Jingshu's strengths, from top to bottom, inside and out.
Moreover, his aspirations were also her passions.
She yearned for freedom, to be far from deceit and trickery, far from prejudice and discrimination.
Rong Jingshu gave her a sense of respect and care she had never experienced before.
They had only known each other for three days, yet it felt like they had known each other for three years.
Was this the spiritual resonance of love at first sight?
Rong Xuan wondered if perhaps all couples who fell in love at first sight felt as she did at this moment.
As their feelings deepened, they left their mark of love under the moonlight.
However, Rong Jingshu remembered that she had said there should be no sexual activity before marriage.
He stopped himself in time.
He took a gift box from his pocket and handed it to her.
Rong Xuan, blushing and with her head down, shyly accepted it. "What is it?"
Rong Jingshu held the girl in his arms, his voice deep and husky. "Open it and see."
Rong Xuan opened it, and her eyes widened instantly.
These sparkling, glittering things were—
Her—
Rong Jingshu explained, "My sister-in-law asked me to give this to you. She also asked me to apologize to you and hopes you don't blame her."
Yes, that was right. The jewelry in the box was the diamond that had fallen from her painting.
The diamond that Du Ruoxin had taken and refused to acknowledge.
Rong Xuan held it in her palm, examining it repeatedly, then looked at the man behind her.
Suddenly, she smiled.
"I don't mind."
Could it be that Du Ruoxin taking this diamond was destined to bring Rong Jingshu to her?
If Du Ruoxin hadn't "stolen" her things, if Du Ruoxin hadn't felt a sliver of guilt, she wouldn't have invited her to the Rong family gathering.
If she hadn't come to the Rong family, she wouldn't have met such a wonderful boyfriend.
It seemed... fate... was truly marvelous?
It was also fortunate that she hadn't listened to the servant's advice and let the dog search for the treasure.
Otherwise, if Du Ruoxin had been discovered, or if the dog had bitten Du Ruoxin, she and Rong Jingshu would have had no chance at all.
Fortunately, fortunately.
All encounters were so beautiful.
Rong Xuan happily hugged Rong Jingshu's neck, bashfully saying, "It was my sister-in-law who brought me to you, so I should be grateful to her."
Faced with such a kind and beautiful girl, no man would be unmoved.
Rong Jingshu held Rong Xuan tightly, and his kiss fell upon her lips once more.
The night was long and arduous.
—
Grace received a call early in the morning, informing her that the equipment had been repaired and she could return to work.
After quickly washing up and getting dressed, she opened her door.
Suddenly, a tall, dark figure blocked her view.
Qin Yunxi!
Startled, she immediately tried to close the door.
But a foot was placed in the doorway, obstructing her movement.
Grace pushed with all her might, pressed down with all her strength, but couldn't move the foot. Angrily, she stomped on it.
"Get lost!"
She roared.
She had ignored him last night, and in the end, he hadn't tried to break down her door.
Falling into a dazed sleep, Grace thought the scumbag Qin had left, only to find him still blocking her doorway.
Bad luck!
Seeing this unlucky fellow first thing in the morning made her temper flare.
Qin Yunxi's foot was caught by the door, but soon, the man exerted force and pushed open the door and Grace with it.
He flashed into her home.
Grace, furious, stomped on his foot. Fortunately, she wasn't wearing high heels, otherwise the pressure would have caused severe swelling.
Qin Yunxi had no choice but to pin her down, restraining her with his hands and feet.
"Enough."
"Woman, I'm just here to collect today's kiss."
