The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 Ring

“Xu Zhu, here, this is washed.”

“Thank you.”

Xu Wen took the apple from the HR girl with a smile, and already held a large bag of beautifully packaged apples in his left hand.

Yesterday, on Christmas Eve, HR purchased a lot of apples and distributed them to everyone.Xu Wen thought it looked good and tasted one. Well, it tasted surprisingly good.

After lunch, his mouth was a little idle, and he remembered the taste of the apple, so he asked about it.

When he learned that there was still a lot left, he accepted a large bag with a smile.

He carried a bag full of apples and gently pushed open the ajar door of the office with his toes.

Just as he was about to walk in, he caught a sharp glimpse through the crack in the door. The moment Lu Qingrang heard his footsteps approaching, his phone was quickly placed on the table.

Both hands quickly retracted and rested on the documents in an orderly manner.

Xu Wen’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart.

Something has been wrong with Lu Qingrang these past few days.

Calling on the balcony, the phone was hung up as soon as he approached.

A man was sitting on the sofa, staring at his cell phone in a trance. He yelled in response, but he had to yell at least twice before he came back to his senses.

Looking at it now, his eyes are twinkling and his expression is quite natural.

But Xu Wen knew Lu Qingrang too well.

This guy is definitely hiding something from him.

Xu Wen pretended that nothing happened, walked to the coffee table with the bag of apples, put it down, and took a bite of the washed apple in his hand.

Lu Qingrang raised his eyes and looked at him with an innocent face: “The apples they handed out yesterday?”

Xu Wen chewed the apple without saying anything. He just walked to his desk, reached out and picked up Lu Qingrang’s cell phone.

Lu Qing let his fingers tremble slightly but did not stop him.

He sat in the large office chair, raised his head slightly, and looked at Xu Wen quietly.

Xu Wen sat sideways on the edge of his desk without explaining, and quickly slid his fingers across the screen.He looked attentively, and then he responded vaguely: “Yes.”

“Then I’ll ask who bought it later and buy some more for home?” Lu Qingrang’s voice was calm.

“Let’s talk after we finish eating.” Xu Wen’s posture did not change, staring at the screen with his eyes lowered.

“Oh, then…” Lu Qingrang wanted to say something else, but Xu Wen stuffed the half-eaten apple into his mouth with his backhand.

“It’s so sweet, eat it quickly.” His eyes were still on the phone, and his tone was blatantly perfunctory.

Lu Qingrang blinked, lowered his head and ate the apple silently, a little unnaturally obedient.

The phone was put back on the table. Xu Wen didn’t see anything. The content inside was normal.

Their eyes met.Xu Wen finally couldn’t hold it back and stared at his face and asked, “Are you hiding something from me?”

Lu Qingrang slowly swallowed the apple in his mouth, with an innocent expression: “No.”

Xu Wen’s eyes were a little serious and he stared at him for a moment.

The expression on that face was natural, the eyes were open, and there was no flaw in it.

‘Really not?The expression looks quite real.’

‘Then you’ve been carrying your cell phone like a treasure lately. What does that mean?’

Xu Wen wasn’t worried about Lu Qingrang’s emotional problems. He was just unhappy with the feeling of being isolated.

Obviously, they had always talked directly about anything between them. If he didn’t ask more questions, Lu Qingrang would confess.

This time is different.Something is very wrong.

Xu Wen snatched the apple that Lu Qingrang had just taken two bites from, took away his mobile phone, turned around and sat back on the sofa.

Forget it, he continues to work on the strategy!

Lu Qingrang looked at the obviously emotional figure on the sofa and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So risky.Fortunately, he deleted all communication records with the restaurant in advance, and even cleared his browsing history.

Otherwise, something that has been prepared for so long might be exposed in advance.

The draft has been rehearsed countless times in my mind, just waiting for tonight.

Xu Wen stood at the door of the company, waiting for Lu Qing to step out.

In the afternoon, Lu Qingrang suddenly announced that everyone would get off work early and go back to celebrate the festival.

This in itself is nothing, but combined with the abnormality of the past few days, Xu Wen always felt that something was wrong.

Lu Qingrang walked out of the company, and the two of them walked into the elevator together.

The metal door slowly closed, and there were only two of them inside.

“Today is the festival, and I booked a nice restaurant.” Lu Qingrang’s voice sounded, as calm as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

Xu Wen was just slightly startled, then nodded naturally: “Okay. What should we eat?”

“Western food.”

Xu Wen frowned. Does celebrating Christmas need to be so ritualistic?

The elevator arrived at the garage, there was a soft sound, and the door slid open to both sides.

Lu Qingrang took the lead to step out, but the person next to him suddenly stopped in place, motionless.

“…”

No!

Xu Wen froze on the spot, shocked by the clues connected in his mind.

“Xu Wen?”

The elevator door was about to close again. Lu Qingrang stretched out his hand to press the door-open button and looked back at the person who was stunned in confusion.

Xu Wen’s Adam’s apple moved, and he finally started walking again: “It’s okay, let’s go.”

All the doubts, details, and anomalies are all connected in series at this moment.

The answer is ready to come out.

Xu Wen’s heart started pounding, pounding, and beating wildly.

Isn’t it?

It won’t be…

Was he one step ahead?

Xu Wen was a little dazed as Lu Qingrang held his hand and coaxed him into sitting in the passenger seat.

His eyes were blank and his mind was in a mess.

He turned his head slightly and looked carefully at Lu Qingrang who was fastening his seat belt. He seemed to be dressed more elegantly than usual today?

He lowered his head and looked at himself again. It was Lu Qingrang who put on the clothes for him in the morning. He seemed a little more handsome than usual?

So, he’s going to be… proposed to?

What to do?He had done so much homework on abducting people to get the certificate, but he was not prepared to be proposed to!

What does it take to be proposed to?

What to say?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He didn’t notice when the car stopped.

“Xu Wen,” Lu Qingrang patted his shoulder gently, “We’re here.”

Xu Wen suddenly came back to his senses: “Oh, okay.”

Lu Qingrang held his hand and walked a little quickly.He felt Xu Wen holding his hand tightly.

You can’t really guess it, right?

He checked so many strategies on the Internet, and they all said to be natural and casual, but he ignored the obvious direction of adding Western food during festivals.

But once things have come to this point, it is impossible to stop.

The restaurant manager personally waited at the door and led them through the softly lit corridor and stopped in front of a dark door.Lu Qingrang took half a step back naturally.

Xu Wen suppressed the corners of his mouth that were almost rising, took a deep breath, and opened the door cooperatively.

What comes into view is a scene like a TV series: candles are burning quietly on the long table, exquisite flowers are dotted among them, and the night view of the city is gradually lighting up outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The corners of Xu Wen’s mouth almost couldn’t help but grin. This was too standard!The standard is a bit cute.

Seeing Xu Wen standing still at the door, Lu Qingrang took a few steps forward, gently put his arm around his waist, led him to the dining table, pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit down.

He could feel Xu Wen’s gaze, which was astonishingly bright, with excitement and expectation, and fell on his face.

Lu Qingrang sat down opposite, put his hand into his pocket, and touched the surface of the velvet box.

Which pair to give, he already had the answer at this moment.

The door was gently closed with a soft sound, and it seemed as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Plop

Plop

In the quiet space, it was impossible to tell whose heartbeat was beating.

“Xu Wen.”

Lu Qingrang’s voice sounded, trembling, and he was the first to break the tacit silence.

Xu Wen looked at him steadily, his chest rising and falling slightly.

In his sight, Lu Qingrang’s movements seemed to be slowed down. He saw the knuckled hand take out a velvet box, saw him stand up, walk around the dining table, and walk to him.

Lu Qingrang knelt down on one knee.

Xu Wen’s heartbeat was completely out of control.

“I thought about it for a long, long time.”

“Xu Wen, I want to have a recognized relationship with you.” Lu Qingrang looked up at him, his eyes slightly red.

He opened the box.On the black velvet cloth, two silver plain rings lie quietly side by side.

“Is that okay?”

The moment the words fell, Xu Wen almost couldn’t wait to reach out his hand, spread his fingers, but felt something was wrong, so he quickly raised his ring finger alone.

Lu Qingrang looked at his outstretched hand and the joy and expectation in his eyes. He tremblingly took out one of the rings and wanted to put it on Xu Wen, but his hands were shaking so much that he failed after trying several times.

Xu Wen’s other hand came up and held his trembling hand warmly.

The two hands folded together and slowly pushed the ring into the knuckles until it was firmly worn on the ring finger.

The moment the ring was put on, Lu Qingrang’s tears fell down and hit Xu Wen’s hand, which was warm.

Xu Wen also picked up another ring, followed Lu Qingrang’s example, and carefully put it on his ring finger.

Two hands wearing identical rings were clasped tightly.

The moment their eyes collided, Xu Wen let go of his hand, held Lu Qingrang’s wet cheeks with both hands, leaned forward, and gently kissed away his tears that kept falling.

A choked voice fell in Xu Wen’s ears: “Xu Wen, I love you.”

“Lu Qingrang,” Xu Wen pressed his forehead and his voice became hoarse, “I love you too.”
