I Want A Lifetime With You

“Yes, but when I’m with you, it always feels like we just got married. Everything still feels new.” Fu Chengyan pinched Shi Nuan’s nose and handed her the box. “Put mine on for me.”

“There’s one for you too?” asked a surprised Shi Nuan. She looked at her ring in satisfaction, then looked inside the box to find a full set of jewelry and was even more shocked. “When did you prepare all this?” How did she not know at all?

“It’s a secret.” Fu Chengyan took out his ring and handed it to Shi Nuan. “Put it on for me.”

She took it and compared it with the ring on her finger. Both were designed simply with no patterns or etchings, but the shape was unique, unlike a traditional round ring.

Shi Nuan looked at it this way and that but didn’t put it on for Fu Chengyan. She held it under the light for quite a while. Suddenly, she gasped, “It’s engraved?”

It was only then that Shi Nuan noticed the letters engraved in the inner wall on his ring. It was their initials. She took off her own ring to inspect. It had a similar engraving, but the initials were the other way round.

“These are… our names?” Her ring had ‘Y&N’ whereas Fu Chengyan’s was ‘N&Y.’ Shi Nuan laughed. “Are you staking your claim?”

Fu Chengyan looked at the rarely seen a smile on Shi Nuan’s face and nodded. “You can think that! Don’t take off the ring, okay?” He slid the ring back onto her finger. Shi Nuan giggled and put his ring on his finger. “Yan, I really like our rings.”

He knew she would. That was why he got them. “Jian’s designs here are all unique.”

“Really?” Shi Nuan turned to look at Jian, who was standing close to them. She was embarrassed when she noticed Jian had been watching them all this while. She had nearly forgotten they were out in public. People would’ve seen the intimacy between her and Fu Chengyan.

“Don’t worry, no one knows we’re here today.” Fu Chengyan held Shi Nan’s hands and their fingers intertwined. The simple-looking rings suddenly became eye-catching. Shi Nuan, who had been feeling frustrated before, suddenly felt much better. She looked at the two interlocked hands and could feel her heart bursting with joy.

Fu Chengyan patted Shi Nuan’s shoulder, “Have a look at the necklace and bracelet. Do you like them?”

“Yes! I like the whole set!” Shi Nuan nodded in Jian’s direction. “Ms. Jian, your designs are wonderful, I really like them!”

“It’s my honor to do this for Mr. and Mrs. Fu, especially since I am indebted to Mr. Fu!” Jian indicated for her assistant to hand another box over to Fu Chengyan. “When Mr. Fu came here wanting to customize a pair of wedding rings, I was curious to see which outstanding lady would be a good match for Mr. Fu. After meeting you, I finally have my answer. This is my wedding present for the two of you. It’s nothing expensive, but I’ve put thought into it.”
