Chapter 10
Duoduo and Qingrang have approached the display case of "Restoration," where the narrator is currently introducing it in English. The restoration on display is the only pair in the world, crafted personally by its designer over a span of six years, from sourcing the diamonds to the setting, all of which he undertook himself
Qing Rangrang did not speak, as Duoduo had quickly removed the sunglasses from her face, "Why wear sunglasses to an exhibition..." Duoduo originally intended to mock Qing Rangrang for not understanding the occasion and wearing something inappropriate, but upon seeing her red eyes, she changed her words at the last moment
The president is getting married? Duoduo's mind has yet to digest this false news
"The recovery will not be listed; it is created solely for my wife." Lu smiled charmingly in front of everyone, and that smile seemed to contain countless sweetness, bringing joy to everyone present
Qing Rangrang was just about to ask about last night when Duoduo Di unexpectedly spoke up first. "Do you know that it was the president who took you home last night?" Duoduo Di said with great curiosity, then lowered his voice and nudged Rangrang's shoulder, "You didn't take the opportunity to flirt with him a bit?" Although Duoduo Di understood that one should avoid Lu Fang when encountering him, he still hoped that Qing Rangrang could create some gossip about Lu Fang, adhering to the principle that the most valuable thing about gossip is its intrigue. Moreover, he felt that it would be a shame not to take advantage of such a tempting opportunity right in front of him, as it would be a disservice to his "conscience".
Qing Ràngràng's face involuntarily flushed with embarrassment
Duoduo did not speak for a while, and then said: "Let me give you a riddle, what do you think is the difference between a frog and a toad?"
There is only one photo in the camera, which is of a church. Qing Rangrang let out a scream, almost fainting immediately. It looked exactly like the church she had seen after getting drunk. Qing Rangrang also did not understand why this time she remembered everything that happened to her after getting drunk so clearly
You agree, don't you? It seems that Duoduo insists on having Qing help him confirm this.
Lu Fang walked to her side and said, "Excuse me..."
After Lu Fangzong left, Qing Rangrang looked at Duoduo Di with tearful eyes, leaning on his shoulder and starting to cry. Life is truly dramatic; who would have thought that she, Qing Rangrang, at the tender age of a budding flower, would become a married woman? She has become the dead fish eye in Baoge's eyes. She should not have coveted the benefits and treatment of A & E; she should have turned around and run away long ago. As a result, she now finds herself in this predicament, with a wedding that is so trivial, not to mention that it was obtained by her forcing someone with a knife.
She remembered that she found Lu Fang right in front of this church. She did not know where she had found the knife, but she boldly held it against Lu Fang's neck, shouting that he had to take responsibility and marry her. Then they walked into the church, where the scene depicted two people with their backs to each other, in front of them stood a person dressed as a pastor
The tone was so gentle that Qing Rang was momentarily taken aback. Unless their relationship had truly changed? "Are we really married?" Qing Rang looked at Lu Fang with some anticipation, cautiously asking. She did not know whether she hoped he would say yes or hoped he would say no.
As Qing Rangrang felt agitated, Lu Fang was pouring water. Hearing her say this, he turned to look at Qing Rangrang with a puzzled expression, but Qing Rangrang completely ignored his look, pacing back and forth in the room in frustration. "I know it was my fault, I shouldn't have drunk, I didn't know I would end up like this after drinking," Qing Rangrang began to mutter to herself
However, this is quite suspicious. Coincidentally, this year, Qing Rangrang has let Lu Fang step forward to admit that he is the designer of the recovery plan, and last night they made a significant breakthrough. No matter how Qing Rangrang thinks about it, it all feels like a coincidence
When Qing Rerang saw the design of "Restoration," she felt that its shape was elegant and smooth, highlighting a timeless quality within its simplicity. Winning first place in the competition was well-deserved; however, she felt a sense of dissatisfaction as it had dominated the design world for so many years. It was only today, upon seeing the "Restoration" personally polished by Lu Fang, that she realized its greatest strength lay in its interpretation of light, using light to narrate a grand love legend. She also came to understand that she had many shortcomings in design because something was lacking in her heart.

She also came to understand that she had many shortcomings in design because something was lacking in her heart.
You decisively crush your unrealistic fantasies in the cradle, attributing all coincidences to Lu Fang, this unscrupulous businessman, who stops at nothing for the sake of his business
Her mind was in a state of confusion, already startled by the fact that she had pressured Lu Fang into marriage, and completely forgot how the pastor could speak Chinese. She knew that she had been listening to English at the time; she had merely translated it for him.
"It is going to rain, and a daughter is going to get married; what is so strange about him getting married?" Qing let out a slight pout.
Lu Fang seemed to sense Qing Rangrang's awakening, and he opened his eyes and smiled at her. Unlike the tense atmosphere of the previous morning, today felt like just another day in the long flow of life, where a couple wakes up in the morning and greets each other with a good morning.
You snatched the sunglasses back with annoyance, "Not only did I take him down, but I also forced myself on him. What of it? I was just too emotional and ended up crying."
At four o'clock the next morning, Qing Rerang suddenly sat up in bed, trembling all over, hoping that everything was just a lie. She quickly rummaged for her camera, silently praying that she would not see the scene she dreaded.
At this moment, Lu Fang is on stage announcing that the A & E Group has successfully acquired the internationally renowned Belgian jewelry company Notop, officially entering the international market
You have only studied the concept of "restoration" in a two-dimensional context, and when you first saw the blueprints, you were already greatly impressed. However, it was unexpected that when the actual object appeared before your eyes, you could experience another wave of astonishment. It is indeed rare.
You did not refute it, and anyone who heard about this matter would not believe it, yet it indeed happened
Regaining, upon seeing Lu Fang as the designer, Qing Rangrang finally grasped the meaning of this pair of rings. After all, her name in the game contains the character "wan" (挽), doesn't it? However, Qing Rangrang had never associated regaining with Lu Fang. It was just that the name of the ring seemed to evoke too many thoughts, causing Qing Rangrang to blush involuntarily, and she did not dare to look at Lu Fang, fearing that a single glance would make her lose all rationality.
Qing Rangrang was unconcerned about this; her mind was entirely preoccupied with the shocking drunkenness of last night. She could not comprehend how she could have behaved in such a manner while intoxicated. Driven by a scientific spirit of determination to understand the situation, she resolved to conduct another experiment. Even if she were to let Xiang Lu go once more, it did not matter, for having experienced it once, she was indifferent to a second time.
You let yourself in immediately, turned around to close the door, and spoke with a tremor in your voice, "Why did you agree, why did you agree? I was drunk when I forced you to marry me, my mind was not clear. I do not acknowledge this marriage, I absolutely do not acknowledge it."
Lu Fang did not respond, "Take a break, you are tired. Get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow when you have calmed down, we can discuss this matter, alright?"
"A frog can turn into a prince?" she asked with a hint of doubt
What are you doing?" Lu Fang looked at Qing Rangrang with sleepy eyes, expressing his dissatisfaction
You hurriedly knocked on Lu Fang's door at four in the morning, without even bothering to change out of your pajamas, after rushing up fifty-two floors in one go
The words from the priest's mouth were the nightmare of Qing Rang Rang, "Miss Qing Rang Rang, may I ask if you are willing to marry Mr. Lu Fang as his wife, to share life and death from this day forth, and to share fortune and misfortune?"
Until Lu Fangzhang arrived on stage, the host announced that he was the designer of "Restoration," and it was only then that Qing Liangliang came to his senses, surrounded by thunderous applause
You made me feel guilty, so I could only respond ambiguously.
Her doubts were somewhat alleviated as she speculated that Lu Fang was likely trying to create a buzz for the A & E jewelry company, with acquisitions and the designer's efforts to make a comeback, making it impossible not to gain fame.
Once the plane that Qing Rang Rang boarded took off, she would no longer have the opportunity to see a promotional model of a church in a certain place in Belgium, identical to the one on her camera.
Then came Lu Fang, and after that, she saw Lu Fang kiss her. The scene was so vivid that Qing let herself believe it. She even remembered the pattern on the ceiling of the church and recalled a small scratch on one of the chairs in the church.
She did not know whether it was because of the wine or something else, being gentle and obedient, allowing Lu Fang to help her onto the bed, cover her with a quilt, and close her eyes for her
She replied, "I am willing"
Your eyes are so swollen that they resemble peaches, and you have no choice but to wear sunglasses when going out
When Lu Fang told her to return first, saying that he still had to go to other places for a few days, Qing Ruo almost fled in panic
Qing Rangrang had no energy to argue with Duoduo Di; her world had suddenly turned upside down. However, she still remembered that Duoduo Di had just made a mistake in saying that a toad might want to eat a swan. The swan was too narcissistic; they were a bird and an amphibian, and their ways of mating were completely different. How could a toad possibly want to eat a swan? It was truly a ridiculous notion. Perhaps Lu Fang was currently on a plane heading elsewhere, while she was still wandering on the ground, truly resembling the situation of a swan and a toad.

Perhaps Lu Fang was currently on a plane heading elsewhere, while she was still wandering on the ground, truly resembling the situation of a swan and a toad. However, different species cannot interbreed; there was simply no way to find a point of connection. Qing Rangrang was feeling this way now.
"You can't possibly be a domineering CEO, can you? Did he..." Duoduo made a gesture of cutting his throat and said, "Is that why you're crying like this? Don't say something like 'sand got in my eyes,' don't treat me like I'm an idiot"
No, the frog is a conservative, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well; while the toad is a reformist, wanting to eat swan meat. Duoduo has already laughed so hard that he can't stand up straight.
Duoduo Di clapped enthusiastically, then nudged his shoulders, saying, "He must be an ED." Duoduo Di was also incensed; such a uniquely gifted man, and yet heaven had to bestow upon him such talent, it would be truly unreasonable if he were not an ED
Duo Duo Di Zhang had a mouth so wide that it could almost fit an egg. Assistant Bob's expression was similar to that of Duo Duo Di. Qing Rangrang understood that Bob probably had no idea about Lu Fang's marriage, which clearly indicated that it was all nonsense, merely a publicity stunt. Qing Rangrang secretly despised Lu Fang for being such a schemer; who knows when he would actually get married? It was entirely to create hype for the A & E Group's jewelry company, truly a master of promotion.
In the morning, when Lu Fang checked out, Qing asked them to stay in the lobby. Impulsively, she stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Lu Fang's clothing, holding onto her last hope, wishing he would say "no." Unfortunately, he only smiled at her while turning his back to everyone and said, "You go back first, I will come in a few days."
I am truly curious about what the future president's wife will look like They must ensure excellent breeding otherwise it would not be worthwhile for such fine genes of the president to be contaminated by the other party
"Qing Rangrang, you have quite the audacity to actually grab the president's clothing. How many times have Guoguo and I taught you that you should take a detour when you see the president? You still dare to dream beyond your means. Wasn't the lesson from the night before enough? Are you still not embarrassed enough?" Duoduo still believes that Qing Rangrang was rejected by Lu Fang, and she is still shamelessly approaching and entangling him.
Only Lu Fang remained sitting alone in the darkness, the light in his eyes shining brilliantly even in the dark, resembling a wolf watching its prey. Lu Fang reached out to turn on the camera that Qing Rang had been holding when he entered, gazing thoughtfully at the photo of the church inside.
She did not know how she returned to her room, nor how she got back to bed. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to find Lu Fang and confirm everything.
The scene began to buzz with excitement, the flashbulbs popping incessantly. Aside from the remarkable recovery, the reporters were likely more interested in the private life of this chaste president, especially since he was the one who brought up his wife.
The people around are all marveling at the designer's genius, while Qing Ruan seems enchanted as she gazes at the ring. The pair of rings appears to tell a sweet yet sorrowful story; anyone who approaches it can feel the deep love contained within, as well as the lingering regret. Under the illumination, the light reflected by the diamond flows like rippling water, resonating in the hearts of everyone who gazes upon it. At this moment, what "recovery" looks like is no longer important; what remains etched in everyone's heart is only the brilliance that flows upon it, a painful love that torments each person, a sweet agony—this must be the taste of love. However, the recovery is merely a women's ring, which carries a hint of regret; in matters of pairs, one cannot help but wonder when a matching men's ring will appear.
When she woke up the next day, she saw Lu Fang sleeping beside her, looking peaceful. She knew that things had gone awry, as only a married couple would share the same bed, right
Fortunately, the flight is booked for tomorrow, so she has plenty of time. Last night, she bought a bottle of red wine and sat in her room, drinking it greedily, fearing that she wouldn't get drunk quickly enough. She didn't bring a DV, so she specifically hung a digital camera around her neck, with a note beside it that read, "Remember to find Lu Fang" and "Remember to take pictures"
As soon as they entered the exhibition hall, they saw Duoduo looking around. "You lazy girl, you just woke up now?" Duoduo enthusiastically pulled Qing Rangan towards the display case.
No matter how many calculations Qiang Rangan made, she never anticipated that Lu Fang would be the designer of the "redemption". A man who is not even a jewelry designer, a rugged and heartless man, could actually create something so delicate and touching as "redemption"? Qiang Rangan felt that it was a joke from heaven
Countless reporters on the scene began to press Lu Fang about his marriage, to which he had no comment, only displaying an expression of anticipation. However, his smile was too sweet, resembling that of a groom who is about to walk down the aisle tomorrow
The host on stage continued to ask, "May I ask when 'Recovery' will officially be available for sale?"
