Jiang Ye didn't notice any abnormality in Tang Shuang's behavior. After all, Tang Shuang couldn't speak, and Jiang Ye also couldn't see her expression, so he couldn't tell the different reasons for her silence.
"Also," Jiang Ye's tone was filled with anticipation, "We still have to hold a wedding ceremony. No, I want to propose to you again…"
Tang Shuang smiled bitterly.
She was very happy that Jiang Ye was telling her this, but she was also in pain because she knew that his words were meant for Tang Xue.
"Xue'er, when we got married, I didn't even prepare a ring. I'm really sorry," Jiang Ye said as he slowly took out a ring from his pocket. "My grandfather gave this to me. This ring has been passed down from every mistress of the Jiang family for many years. I want to give this ring to you. In the past, I thought that if you regret marrying me one day, I would let you go, but now, I only want to selfishly keep you by my side forever. Are you willing to be with me forever?"
Tang Shuang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no sound came out.
Seeing that Jiang Ye was about to put the ring on her finger, Tang Shuang was shocked. She panicked and wanted to pull her hand back, but Jiang Ye held onto her hand firmly and immediately slid the ring onto her finger.
"Alright, I've already put it on. You can't go back on your word now," Jiang Ye said domineeringly. Then, he hugged Tang Shuang again. "After that night, I don't plan to let you go… You're the only one in my heart. You're the only one I love."
Jiang Ye emphasized the word "you", but Tang Shuang did not notice.
Tang Shuang's heart was beating very fast. Her big eyes, which were as bright as black grapes, were filled with tears.
Even if Jiang Ye's words weren't meant for her, she was still very happy.
Tang Shuang touched the ring on her finger. It was a jade ring with a very pure and transparent sky blue color. It was obvious that it was an extremely rare top-grade ice material. In terms of value, this ring could be considered a family heirloom.
Tang Shuang touched the ring with mixed feelings.
This wasn't the first thing Jiang Ye had given her. A long time ago, the young Jiang Ye had given her a jade pendant.
He said that as long as she wore this jade pendant, he would definitely find her again.
However, the jade pendant was later snatched away by Tang Xue, and Jiang Ye fell in love with Tang Xue.
Tang Shuang sighed and put the ring away. She looked at the time and wrote on Jiang Ye's palm. "Take a nap first. You still have to continue the treatment in the afternoon."
Jiang Ye had fallen asleep on the bed. Tang Shuang covered him with a blanket and was about to leave when Jiang Ye grabbed her fingers. Tang Shuang turned around and looked at Jiang Ye. He smiled and said, "Kiss me before you leave."
Tang Shuang blushed and stood motionless. Jiang Ye urged, "You were so proactive last time. Why are you so shy now? Hurry up. I can't sleep without a kiss."
Tang Shuang thought of how she had seduced Jiang Ye last time and her face was so red that it was about to bleed. She gritted her teeth and quickly kissed Jiang Ye's face before leaving the room as if she was escaping.
Hearing the door close, Jiang Ye touched the spot where Tang Shuang had kissed him and revealed a satisfied smile.
Tang Shuang ran out of the door. When she felt the cold wind blow, her hot cheeks slowly returned to normal.
She was about to go to the pharmacy when she heard footsteps.
She turned around and saw Jiang Wei walking in.
A gust of cold wind blew. Jiang Wei raised his head and looked at Tang Shuang sharply.
Tang Shuang frowned and subconsciously wanted to take two steps back. Jiang Wei looked at her and forced a barely normal smile. "Miss Tang, right? I'm here to look for you this time. Can we talk?"
Tang Shuang didn't think she had anything to talk about with Jiang Wei, but she didn't dare to offend him, so she remained silent.
"I should call you Tang Shuang, right?" Jiang Wei slowly took off his leather gloves and casually threw them on the table. Then, he sat leisurely on the sofa with his legs crossed and looked at Tang Shuang with a smile.
Tang Shuang guessed that Jiang Wei had investigated her identity. The Tang family's confidentiality measures were not strict, so it was easy for him to find out her identity.
"I heard that Tang Xue didn't want to marry a blind man like Jiang Ye, so she asked you to marry him in her place, right?" Jiang Wei stood up and slowly walked behind Tang Shuang. He leaned close to her ear and said with a hint of sympathy and anger, "You're both daughters of the Tang family. How can they treat you like this? You must hate them, right?"
Tang Shuang knew that Jiang Wei must have other motives for telling her this. She looked at him calmly and waited for him to finish speaking.
