man in suit

Hanging the "rest" sign on the door of the coffee shop in advance, Mingchen sat alone at the table by the window, made himself a cup of coffee, served it with a piece of cheesecake, and the exquisite velvet box just quietly placed by his hand.

A small corner of the cake was eaten and a third of the coffee was drunk.

Two fingers opened the exquisite small velvet jewelry box, and a silver ring inlaid with diamonds and excellent workmanship lay inside. Ming Chen picked up the ring, and the silver ring surface revealed a charming brilliance under the light.

In the past, there were quite a few people who gave him flowers and showed courtesy, but this was the first time Ming Chen received a ring from others.

He Wenhan's feelings for him slightly exceeded his expectations. He Wenhan was an indispensable link in Ming Chen's plan, a pawn that could be used a little bit. He tried to let He Wenhan push him and He Wenxuan The relationship between the two changed, but I didn't expect this guy to make a big move as soon as he came up, and even prepared the wedding ring.

But that's fine, anyway, the result is the same.

"jingle--"

The wind chime hanging at the door made a series of crisp and pleasant sounds. Ming Chen looked up towards the door, and He Wenxuan was standing there with a bag in his hand, walking towards him with steady steps. come over.

"Why is the door closed so early today? I bought something for you, open it and have a look." Sitting opposite Ming Chen, He Wenxuan put the bag in his hand on the table, seeing Ming Chen's expression was a bit uncomfortable Satisfied, he asked with concern: "What's the matter, did you encounter any trouble today?"

Raising his eyes to look at He Wenxuan, Ming Chen's eyes were clearly hesitant.

"Is there anything you can't tell me, huh?" Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of what Ming Chen seemed to be holding in his hand. He Wenxuan found an opened small jewelry box on the table. He recognized the name on the box. Signs, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary aristocrats in the first district would not be willing to buy jewelry from this house, and the price is in the millions.

Ming Chen is not a man who likes jewelry.

"Someone gave you this?" He Wenxuan picked up the velvet jewelry box placed on the table, and said with a joking smile: "The cafe has only been open for a few days, and someone gave you a gift. I wonder if it takes more time?" Bring a few bodyguards to follow you, so as not to be snatched away by someone in time."

Seeing that Ming Chen was still preoccupied and didn't show the slightest smile, He Wenxuan realized that maybe the person who gave the gift was not simple, and Ming Chen was not like this usually.

Before He Wenxuan asked, Mingchen slowly opened his palm, a beautiful ring lay in his palm: "He Wenhan came here in the afternoon."

He Wenhan sent it?ring?

"He gave it to you?" He Wenxuan asked.

Ming Chen hummed and nodded: "I think I should tell you about this matter. Wen Han gave me this and some other words when he came in the afternoon. Until now, I still have some...unbelievable."

Looking up at He Wenxuan, Mingchen's eyes were clearly filled with doubt and puzzlement, as well as more faint surprise.

After hesitating a few times, Ming Chen finally took a deep breath and said, "He proposed to me."

Same-sex families are not prohibited in District [-]. It is not uncommon for two men or women to get married, but it is rare news that the owner proposes to a pet that is also a man.

He Wenxuan has always known that He Wenhan actually has real feelings for Ming Chen, but how much and how heavy that feeling is is something he cannot guess.

He admitted that he is not a person who is willing to give the people and things he likes to his younger brother. In the past 20 years, he has given He Wenhan a lot.This time, from the day he made up his mind to ask He Hongxue for Ming Chen, he had already made up his mind that he would not give Ming Chen to anyone this time.

"Then what's your answer?" He Wenxuan asked calmly.His soothing tone and gentle attitude made Ming Chen, who seemed a little nervous, relax a little.

"I don't want to lie to you. To be honest, when I heard He Wenhan's words... my heart was moved for a moment." Ming Chen smiled bitterly like self-deprecating, and looked down at the ring in his palm, "As long as you are with He Wenhan I am really married, which means that I can get rid of the status of a pet and have my own identity and freedom. Even if I get divorced in the future, I can still get a good fortune."

Looking up and smiling, Ming Chen sighed and said, "It's very attractive, isn't it? When I get old, even if I get divorced, the divorce funds will be enough for me to enjoy my old age."

But as a pet?

Pets depend on their owners all their lives. Once they are abandoned by their owners, few people can survive.

"Then do you love him? Do you like He Wenhan?"

"It's ridiculous for a pet to talk about feelings. This may sound a little too realistic, but after all, I am not living in a dream, but in this cruel reality. Ever since I came back from District [-], those who I Everything I saw and experienced in District [-] made me understand the cruelty of this world more."

Slowly closing his eyes, the silver ring in Mingchen's hand fell on the wooden table with a crisp sound, and the silver ring spun around and lay on the table.

He lowered his head and gently supported his forehead, sighing like a kite with a broken string, flying farther and farther, drawing scars in the air: "What qualifications do I have to talk about feelings..."

It's not that I don't want to love, it's just that I don't dare to love.

This is probably the most clear point in every pet's heart.

"Ming Chen." He Wenxuan slowly took a deep breath in the gentle voice with a touch of pity like fallen leaves floating in the wind. He held Ming Chen's hands, and he could almost feel Ming Chen's heart at this moment. suffering and struggle.

Reason is telling Mingchen that the best choice is of course marriage. There is no doubt that this is the most effective way to solve his real problems, and even the dream that most pets dream of. I am willing to let myself sink deeper and deeper, and gradually lose myself.

This is the message that Ming Chen wants He Wenxuan to get.

"You clearly know that as long as you agree to He Wenhan, you can get rid of the status quo, so why don't you just agree to him?"

"I don't know...I'm very messed up and tired today." Ming Chen sounded as if he wanted to beg He Wenxuan to stop asking.

"Even if He Wenhan really wants you to marry him, I will not agree." He Wenxuan put the silver diamond ring into the jewelry box, and he put the jewelry box into his pocket.

Mingchen held his forehead with one hand and said nothing, his eyes were closed, like a beautiful sculpture.

"I can tell you clearly that I like you, and I had the same thoughts as He Wenhan in my heart, but I don't want to force you, especially when it comes to emotional matters."

He Wenxuan gently put Mingchen's other hand on the wooden table, and said softly: "Try to like me, even fall in love with me, if the status of a pet binds you like a cocoon, it gives you If there is no pressure, then stay with me as an ordinary person."

He Wenxuan couldn't hold it back in the end. He didn't care about Mingchen's pet status. In the past few weeks, he had been considering whether to dissolve the relationship between himself and Mingchen's pet and owner. Some questions from the district have been lingering in his mind, and he still hasn't made up his mind.

It's not the first day he knew Ming Chen, he knew the past of this man clearly, maybe he was worrying too much, Ming Chen is just Ming Chen, what exactly is he doubting Ming Chen?

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Ming Chen didn't seem to dare to believe the meaning of He Wenxuan's words, even though he was vaguely aware of what He Wenxuan wanted to express to him.

This is Mingchen's goal, but not the ultimate goal, to get rid of the status of a pet. The first step is only the first step in this hunting game.

"In two days, after I finish the recent work, we will go through the formalities and cancel your pet status." He Wenxuan smiled and looked up at this chic coffee shop, "From now on, you will be a citizen with citizenship. People from the same district have their own coffee shop, and..." He Wenxuan held the man's hand tightly, smiling softly and handsomely: "And I have such a handsome and chic boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Ming Chen blinked, slowly recalling the meaning of He Wenxuan's words, "Release my pet status?"

"We are honestly dating and falling in love like ordinary people. I am not your owner, and you are not my pet." He Wenxuan sighed softly, "I look forward to the day you fall in love with me. "

He Wenxuan's eyes were frank with a touch of anticipation, as if there were countless sparks jumping in the deep lake in his eyes. In fact, Ming Chen vaguely felt that He Wenxuan would not let him wear the identity of a pet a few days ago. It's been too long, but I just don't understand what He Wenxuan is hesitating about, but no matter what the reason is, now his goal has been achieved.

"I haven't been in a relationship yet." Ming Chen lowered his head and smiled slightly. The usually gentle and calm man seemed a little embarrassed and nervous. He sighed, "This is really...it feels weird."

"So I'm your first love?" He Wenxuan smiled and pulled Mingchen up and hugged him gently, rubbing against him, and whispered in the man's ear: "...I love you."

Ming Chen was stunned for a moment, and there was no part of acting.

He closed his eyes and leaned on He Wenxuan's shoulder: I am not worthy of anyone's love.
