Fifteen Minutes Past Midnight

Huo Zheng was rarely nervous. He crouched down in front of Lin Xiaowan and held her hand gently.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaowan asked when she saw that he was not himself.

Huo Zheng brought out a velvet octagonal box that he had hidden for a long time. He opened it, revealing a simple ring before asking gently, "Do you want to get engaged to me? I know you've agreed, but I want to make it formal…"

Lin Xiaowan looked at the ring curiously. "When did you buy it?"

The jewelry that Huo Zheng gave her naturally could not be bought outside. It was unique and custom-made. This meant that it would take some time due to the preparation needed. Putting other factors aside, with how picky Huo Zheng was, it must have taken a long time before he approved the design. One could only imagine how many drafts the designer had to submit to the cold Huo Zheng for approval. It was likely that the designer felt like punching Huo Zheng many times during the process.
