The CEO's Woman

Chapter 86 - Pandora's Box

Lisa wrapped his arms around Jennie and let her head rest upon his chest.

Both of them trying to take in every moment with each other.

Both of them savoring each other's touch. His warmth seeps into her being as they melt into each other's arms.

"I'm about to leave." He murmured his tone serious and sullen.

"Hmmm..." jennie nodded, she chose not to say anything. .

Then Lisa's arms squeezed her a little tighter while gently rubbing her arms.

They are currently in the roof terrace of the Wang Mansion. Gazing at the beautiful silhouette of the city as the sun disappears into their eyes.

In three hours, Lisa and his family will leave.

Then she will not see him for the next two years.

Jennie already decided to propose to this man tonight.

She is just waiting for the right time.

After a thorough deliberation of their current situation, she was able to come up with this decision because of only one reason.

And that is she felt something special towards this man. Something that cannot be realized by a thousand words. She knows that this is not just an attraction like the kind of trance that would bring the bee to a flower.

No. This is something more. Something more passionate and reliable. Something that she cannot see nor touch but she can clearly feel even if her eyes are closed.

This is something special. Very Special.

"I will be away for two years." He mumbled.

"I know."

"Are you going to wait for me? »Lsai's question made Jennie stifled a laugh.

"Silly, of course, I will." She answered. After introducing her to his parents, this man really just asked her if she is willing to wait for him.

"Then marry me."

"Huh?" Lisa's sudden proposal made Jennie's heart fell silent.

It was as if words left her. She couldn't will her lips to move.

Did... Lisa just propose? To her?

"Marry me after two years. When I come back. Marry me." He reiterated.

The silence grew even longer as Jennie moved away from him. Her eyes glued into his.

"Where is it?" After a few minutes, Jennie finally spoke up.

"What?" He asked, seemingly confuse.

"Where is it?" She repeated. Her mother in law was right, after all, this Lisa is one slow bloke.

After realizing what she means, he then pulled a scarlet box from his pocket and open it before he gives it to Jennie.

Seeing a ring with a purple stone immediately made her beamed with joy.

So why is she happy, you ask? That's because, in her previous life, kai did not propose nor gave her any ring.

Now, she already has one. Expensive or not, jennie decided to treasure this ring in this lifetime.

Ah! This feeling is truly great!

Jennie immediately put on the ring in her finger and admired it under the lights. Leaving the confuse Lisa staring at her.

Seems like simple things like this can make her beloved extremely happy.

Lisa already made a mental note to send her every ring that he could find anywhere.

Both are engrossed in their own thoughts that they seemed to forget Lisa's question that is still unanswered.

After some time, Jennie finally realized what she did so she went back to Lisa's arms and hugs him.

"Tonight, I thought I would be the one proposing to you." She started. "So, I uh... I guess I will also give you this ring that I prepared for you?"

"I mean uh... originally, I did not expect for this to happen, so I haven't got the time to prepare for a ring in advance." Jennie said while pulling a ring from her pocket. She found this ring in the vault with all of her mother's deeds and will.

It is a beautiful white gold onyx ring for men with a handcrafted letter J. At the back of the ring, Jennie can also see some sort of insignia.

She thought this might be very important to her mother or else why would she have this as a part of her inheritance? However, since she never had the time to pick for a ring, she will just give this to Lisa for now. Then buy something nice later. Anyway, it is just a ring, right?

Men originally don't wear engagement rings so Jennie thought this is not very important at all.

Who would have thought that this simple miscalculation would lead them both into a whirlwind of secrets and mysteries?

Neither Jennie nor Lisa has any idea how important this ring was. And neither have them have any idea how this will change both of their lives so much.

Who would have thought that this ring is akin to Pandora's box?

Now, as for the contents of this box? Well... it won't be that undesirable right?

Of course, this is all in the future and that story will be for another time. Alright?
