It was definitely not feasible to go directly to the country; her parents would never allow it. So, she decided to go to another country first and think of a way later.
Was Nan Jing really after Yue Tong's life? Yun Zhi Yue rested her chin on her hand, pondering. No matter how she looked at it, Nan Jing didn’t seem like the kind of person who could be so ruthless.
After a few more days of planning, she finalized her travel itinerary. The branch office of the Yun Family in the country had some matters that required her father's attention, so she proactively took on that task.
Before leaving, she needed to inform Nan Jing. Just as she was thinking about it, Zhou Yu called to suggest a gathering. Ever since the kidnapping incident, they hadn’t seen each other for nearly half a year. It was said that Zhou Yu had suffered quite a bit because of her.
It was a mix of blind dates and visits to psychologists.
By the time work ended, Yun Zhi Yue had no intention of changing her clothes. She wore a fitted and professional outfit and drove to Huang Fei Club.
As usual, she was the last to arrive at the gathering; the others were already drinking when she walked in.
As Yun Zhi Yue strode in wearing black high heels, exuding confidence, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "A strong woman like you must be busy finding time for this gathering."
Yun Zhi Yue replied with a hint of annoyance, "Don’t tease me; I really am busy. My dad keeps a close watch on me—leaving work even a minute early is impossible."
Zhou Yu raised his glass and said, "Looks like Yun Secretary is about to become Yun Zong. Let me toast you in advance."
Yun Zhi Yue clinked glasses with him and downed her drink before asking in surprise, "Why congratulate me in advance?"
Nan Jing smirked and said, "Zhou Yu is tired of this place and plans to go abroad for a while. He won’t be back anytime soon; this meal is a farewell."
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement. "That’s right. So when you become Yun Zong, I won’t be able to see you in person to say congratulations."
Before leaving, he wanted to witness their outcome too—Nan Jing, what are you waiting for?
Yun Zhi Yue’s heart skipped a beat as she noticed that Nan Jing had no romantic prelude. He took out an exquisite little box and opened it.
The diamond inside sparkled blindingly.
Nan Jing placed the ring in front of her and said earnestly, "Yun Zhi Yue, marry me."
Zhou Yu initially wanted to lighten the mood with some jokes but noticed Yun Zhi Yue's expression was off and swallowed his words.
The atmosphere among the three grew tense and cold.
[Strategy level: Yun Zhi Yue, you’re incredible! I’m sweating bullets just from watching this unfold.]
Yun Zhi Yue never expected that refusing a marriage proposal could actually increase her strategy points. Each time she gained points, the amount varied, and she could never quite figure out the pattern; it was all down to luck.
Feeling awkward under Nan Jing's gaze, Yun Zhi Yue steeled herself and spoke up. "I still don't want to get married. This isn't about our feelings; it's just that my mind is focused on Yun right now."
Not only was Yu Ge going abroad, but she was too. The branch office in her country had encountered some issues, and her father had asked her to resolve them. This would also serve as a valuable experience for her, but she didn't know how long it would take or if she could return in time to discuss marriage. "I promise I'll think about it seriously during this time, but I'm really not ready to be your wife right now."
Nan Jing stared at her for a moment before pulling out a ring and firmly placing it on her unnamed finger. "This doesn't count as a refusal; it's just waiting for you to come back and get married."
Yun Zhi Yue wanted to argue further, but under Nan Jing's piercing gaze, she instinctively nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yu then smiled, transforming a thousand words into a simple congratulation.
The three of them raised their glasses and drank together. That night, they consumed quite a bit, and Yun Zhi Yue felt slightly unsteady on her feet.
Carried horizontally into Nan Jing's apartment, her mind was still somewhat hazy. However, when Nan Jing brought her into the bathroom and began to undress her, she snapped back to reality.
She weakly grasped the last remnants of her modesty and said, "I can wash myself."
Nan Jing kissed the tip of her nose and brushed her hand aside, removing the barriers. "Playing coy? I haven't touched you in a while, my fiancée."
"Okay."
