Engage

The night went on as usual, with Shihong casually talking to Roulan and telling her what he planned for the two.

Yanmei, on the other hand, listens to her father as she sits down beside Roulan, who occasionally nods, sighs, and answers just a few questions.

Shihong knew she didn't want it, but she was already tied to his daughter, and considering Yanmei set her eyes on Roulan, it would only mean she wanted her.

He doesn't even see her being this angry at someone.

Yes, Yanmei has had a few relationships here and there, and she would certainly introduce the guy to him.

To be safe.

Yanmei is a beautiful lady, and she is certainly someone that every man would love to have beside them. Someone that every woman would be jealous of

She has everything—the body, the face, the brain, and even the wealth—so every man would certainly kill just for her.

And she didn't want that.

She wanted someone who would treat her just like any other human being. She didn't want anyone to treat her like a gem because they could benefit from her wealth.

Though she likes to flex her wealth, she doesn't want anyone to look at her as if she is their way out of poverty.

Yanmei felt herself continuously looking at Roulan as the girl continued to have a conversation with her father.

She couldn't help but smile at what seemed to be a great bond between the soon-to-be in-laws.

Their dinner was successful, and they were about to leave when Roulan forgot to do something.

"Yanmei."

She called, getting a little awkward as she rubbed her nape in the process.

Yanmei and Shihong both look at her as the father urges his daughter to go toward her lover.

The girl went towards Roulan, who was a few steps away in their direction.

Roulan sighs before she goes to grab something inside her coat. She pulls the box as Yanmei gasps in the process.

"This is the ring, and I forgot to put it on your finger earlier."

Roulan said, opening the box in the process. Yanmei looks at the ring inside and smiles widely, but she furrows her eyebrows upon seeing a quite familiar object.

"Dad, I feel like I saw this ring before."

Yanmei said, confusing Shihong. The man walked towards them and looked at the ring again, wanting to remember where he saw it before.

But nothing went through his mind, as there has been a lot happening for the past few years.

Roulan sighs and pulls the ring out of the box, putting the box inside her pocket. She examines it and shrugs off the familiar feeling.

"I also felt that, but I don't know where."

Roulan said, quickly grabbing the attention of Yanmei. The smaller girl put her hand out as she smiled widely at her soon-to-be wife.

"We can think about that later on."

She said this as Roulan nodded, slipping the ring on Yanmei's slender ring finger.

The smaller girl squeals before she jumps onto Roulan, kissing the girl's cheeks in the process.

Roulan was caught off guard by what the woman just did, and her face started to heat up. She huffs a breath as she puts her arms around Yanmei's petite body.

Yanmei pulled away and saw Roulan's embarrassed face. She couldn't help but smile widely, wanting to tease the girl.

"Do I have you wrapped around my fingers already?"

"No, how can you say that?"

"Why are you blushing?"

Yanmei asks, her eyebrows going up and down as she has a wicked smile on her face. Roulan shakes her head, her red face dying down as she smiles widely and ruffles Yanmei's hair.

"It's just that I didn't expect you to be like that."

"Tsk, you could tell me the truth."

Yanmei said she was a little upset with what Roulan just told her. The taller girl could only sigh and shake her head, stating she was telling the truth.

Shihong sighs before he clears his throat, grabbing the attention of the two young couples.

"It's getting late; we should go home now."

Yanmei nodded before clinging onto Roulan, her chest hitting the girl's arm.

Roulan gulps before she takes the more petite girl's arms away from her.

"What are you doing?"

"Dad, we should get home, so let's go."

Roulan furrows her eyebrows, confused with what Yanmei just said. The smaller girl sighs before she looks at her father.

"Can I sleep in Roulan's apartment?"

She asks, wanting to spend some time with her new fiancee. Roulan shakes her head, pushing Yanmei away from her body.

"Nope, I need some rest."

"We can take a rest together."

Yanmei looks at her as she holds the taller girl's left hand, pulling off her cutest puppy eyes to look at Roulan.

The taller woman snickered, making Yanmei scoff before she held Roulan's collar and pulled her down to level their faces.

"You are a jerk; do you know that?"

"Ok, maybe you should just visit Roulan tomorrow."

Shihong interrupted, pulling Yanmei away from Roulan. The smaller girl huffs before she crosses her arms over her chest.

"Dad, you should be pushing me towards Roulan."

Yanmei said, looking back at her father as she glared at him. Shihong raises both of his arms as he shakes his head.

"Let her come to you; I've already done what you would ask me."

"Still, you should push her towards me."

Yanmei said, stomping her feet on the ground. She huffs as Shihong shrugs his shoulders and looks at Roulan.

"Let us drop you off at your apartment."

Roulan looks at her watch and sighs before she bows down and shakes her head in answer.

"I'm sorry, but I have guests inside."

Roulan said, remembering the daily study session she has with Lanfen and Yu.

Shihong sighs and nods his head, patting the girl's shoulder as Yanmei furrows her eyebrows.

"Who is it?"

"Uhm... It's Lanfen and Yu."

"I know them; we should go together."

Yanmei pushes her father away from his place as she clings to Roulan yet again.

The taller girl furrows her eyebrows as she shakes her head yet again before pushing Yanmei away.

"It's our bond, and they didn't want it disturbed."

Roulan said, her lips twitching into a fake smile, to which Yanmei replied with a pissed expression.

Her action causes Roulan to feel excited, as it seems that she's having fun teasing the smaller yet older girl.

Yanmei groans and stomps her feet, getting a little upset at how Roulan treated her, which makes her raise her hand, pulling out her middle finger.

Her action shocks Roulan as she walks away, with the taller girl opening her mouth in amusement.

"Woah, that woman is crazy."

"Careful, that's my daughter."

Shihong said, staring Roulan down. The girl gulped before she nodded, bowing down to show respect to Shihong.

The man smiles before he taps Roulan's shoulder, getting a little better as it seems like Roulan is someone special.

"Sir-"

"Please, you can call me Dad or Father as well. We'll become a family anyway."

Shihong said, his hands removing themselves from Roulan's shoulder as the woman stood straight.

The girl couldn't help but smile widely, happy that she has someone to call as a parent again.
