Chapter 114: Engagement Ring

"No, when Grandpa gave me a thumbs‑up, I let the pretty sister see it too. Then the pretty sister announced on the spot that she's also going to propose to another handsome brother!"

Ye Shu felt the more he listened, the more familiar the plot seemed!

Ye Shu looked at Su Xi, and Su Xi nodded.

Alright, he knows who it is!

Ye Shu didn't want to hear about this proposal ceremony any more, "I know it succeeded, next!"

【I don't know, I want to know!】

Liang Yan, bewildered, said, "Oh, the next one is Liang Chengwei's proposal ceremony. He wants to mess with me, gave me a fake ring and made me run up the mountain road to deliver it to the summit."

Liang Yan now hates Liang Chengwei; how could he obediently take the ring up to the summit!

Liang Chengwei also knows they won't deliver it. But he doesn't know someone secretly swapped the ring inside.

"He thought the ring he gave me was fake, but it was real, so I took the real ring home to Granddad. His proposal ceremony lost even its intended partner, which is a bit unlucky; you'd better not copy it."

If you want to give me a real ring, that's fine too. His real ring, Grandpa gave me as a toy.

【Give you his real ring? Is this to stir up hatred between you and your mother? Afraid he might develop feelings for you two?】

Ye Shu put down his phone, "Thanks, I haven't picked a style for the ring yet. If you like rings, have your dad and mom buy one for you."

"I don't want a ring; it's bigger than a doll, not as cute as a doll, and more expensive than a doll. Why do adults like rings?"

Ye Shu found it hard to explain the meaning of a ring to Liang Yan, so he just didn't explain. He feared saying something wrong and ending up fighting Zhu Xueheng again.

Su Yu was shocked, "You still haven't chosen a style?"

【I thought you'd already picked a style and were just waiting to propose!】

"Hmm, I don't know what shade of pink diamond she likes, nor have I decided what kind of setting to use."

A wedding ring is worn for a lifetime, so of course you have to pick one she likes.

"Then why don't you ask?"

"That kind of question, asking directly is a bit awkward, right?"

"Then let me ask for you?"

Ye Shu thought for a few seconds, nodded, "Alright!"

【I'll ask for you, and you won't feel embarrassed? What a strange thought.】

When the call went through, Ye Shu still thought Su Yu might have a good solution, but she actually asked straight away.

"Auntie, what shade of pink diamond do you like?"

"Kid, you dialed the wrong number."

A male voice came from the other end, and the two adults and two kids present all frowned.

"Who are you? This is my aunt's phone! If you don't speak, I'll have my grandpa and grandma call the police!"

【Who is this person, how did they get Xie Xin Yi's phone?】

"Xin Yi is an only daughter, why are you calling her auntie? Kid, did you get the wrong person?"

"Ha, call the police, quick, someone kidnapped auntie! And took her phone!"

Su Xi sent a message to Xie Shouyun. Su Yu saw Su Xi's action and shouted angrily, "Villain, wait for the police to catch you!"

【Oh dear, it can't be some male third‑wheel drama?】

Su Xi: How come you still seem excited?

Su Yu hung up and looked at Ye Shu.

Liang Yan saw Ye Shu's calm expression and asked curiously, "Uncle, aren't you angry?"

"Why would I be angry?"

"I have a dad; when I heard another man answered my mom's call, I got into a big argument with my mom, and we split up."

"Maybe Uncle has been broken up so many times that he doesn't care."

Ye Shu, about to gossip about whose dad Liang Yan was talking about, thought: …

"Xiao Yu, you can say less!"

"Why does little sister Xiao Yu have to say less? Also, what does 'being broken up' mean?"

"Being broken up means the uncle's girlfriend doesn't want him anymore, and she announces the breakup on her own."

Ye Shu, under Su Xi's gaze, forced out a line, "You really know a lot!"

"That's…"

Liang Yan, however, looked worried, "If auntie doesn't want Uncle anymore, does that mean the wedding is cancelled? Can we still be flower‑children and receive red envelopes?"

"It should be…"

【If the wedding isn't held, how could there be red envelopes?】

"Hey hey hey, it's not that far yet, you two stop talking nonsense!"

Ye Shu thought, if he loses this good marriage, his parents would probably hang him up and beat him.

"But other uncles have gotten auntie's phone; don't you have any sense of crisis?"

【You're acting like you're just slacking off.】

Liang Yan nodded, "Phones are important; I can't just mess with dad or mom's phone!"

Ye Shu's attention was on Zhu Xueheng preventing Liang Yan from messing with the phone.

"Doesn't your dad love you a lot? Yet he won't let you mess with the phone?"

【This is the point?】

"Uncle, you should now charge over, locate auntie, and proclaim sovereignty!"

【I almost said 'kill' instead of 'rush'; you don't show you care, how would anyone know you care? Solve today's issue today, or tomorrow might become a fissure.】

Su Xi: …You know quite a lot!

If it weren't for fearing Su Yu would be stimulated, he really wanted her to study. Whether she studies well or not doesn't matter; what matters is that she not think about all these weird things.

She's only three years old!

Liang Yan nodded vigorously, indicating that Su Yu was right!

"Back there, if she gave me face, then I was asserting sovereignty; if she didn't give me face, then that was me bringing disgrace on myself!"

Ye Shu didn't want to go? He actually wanted to. But he didn't even have the qualifications to go to her house to help pack her luggage, let alone take her phone.

Ye Shu thought of the ex-boyfriend that Xie Xin Yi had talked to him about, and felt that the future was completely dark. He probably wouldn't be able to marry a normal wife in this lifetime!

"Going like that, you're definitely bringing disgrace upon yourself!"

Compared to yesterday's outfit, this set is like the difference between a girl's bare makeup and full makeup. It's not unattractive, just lacking that feeling.

"Uncle, can you change your clothes and have a stylist fix you up?"

"You really want to go?"

Ye Shu wanted to retreat in his heart. He thought it would be better not to go. If she didn't explain, that meant she wanted to break up. Gradually not contacting each other would naturally lead to a break.

"Exactly! We still have to go looking bright and beautiful! I and Huo Huo will also change into pink dresses to give Auntie a surprise!"

"That's not good; if we three all wear pink and get rejected, how embarrassing would that be!"

"You're not the first time to embarrass yourself!"

Ye Shu thought, that's right, he's not the first time to embarrass himself. He believes his parents should be used to it. If he really gets rejected, he'll go to a bar to get drunk and go home, probably able to avoid a beating.

Ye Shu, thinking it was quite a good deal, immediately called the people from the studio to come to the Su Clan for a makeover.

Su Yu and Liang Yan then went into the resting room to change clothes.

"Good thing there are clothes here; getting them from home would take a long time!"

After Liang Yan cried here the day before yesterday, Su Yu's resting room had an empty slot left, where she placed Liang Yan's pajamas and skirt.

"Yes!"

After the two had changed their clothes, they went out to watch Ye Shu get a makeover.

"How is it?"

This time it is a slightly deep rose-gray suit.

Su Yu and Liang Yan circled around Ye Shu once, Su Yu nodded, "Not bad, but you're missing a prop!"

Good night, babies~
