Ruka looked at the presents on the table, not knowing where to even begin. When she heard the sound
of footsteps from the stairs, she looked up and saw Ren in casual clothing-a dark sweater and beige
pants. The clothes made him look softer, yet he retained his usual steely demeanor.
She waited for him to sit beside her before sighing. “Why did you prepare so many presents? I only
need one from you!”
He reached for one and handed it to her. “Open it and see.”
She couldn’t help being attracted by the pastel blue wrapping. It was her favorite color; he must have
taken her preferences to heart. Then, when she finally unwrapped the gift, she found a pretty pastel
blue beaded handbag. Even though there weren’t any brand logos on it, it was evident from the
beautiful craftsmanship that it was handmade.

and gave it to her. “Open this one.”
Ruka’s breath caught. Is he giving me a ring?
He placed it in her palm, and she bit her lip as she opened it. A shiny open diamond ring with a simple,
elegant design lay inside, which looked vintage yet stylish. Before she could react, he took it and
placed it on her right middle finger. It was a perfect fit, making her blink in surprise. How did he know
the size of her finger?
Just then, he pulled out another ring from his pocket and wore it on his left middle finger. Although the
rings differed in size, their similarity made it known that it was clearly a couple’s ring.
These were matching rings for couples. At that realization, she blushed harder. and she couldn’t
believe they were at that stage already.
“Did you choose them?” Ruka asked shyly.
“Yes.” Ren nodded. It had been the most important gift to him, a promise to tie them together so no one
could ever separate them again.
“Do not remove it without my permission,” he continued in a low voice. She nodded obediently. “Okay.”
The other presents were some necessities she might need, but she had already received the most
important gift, which was his heart.
It was soon 11.30PM, and she concealed a yawn. She had experienced a shock today, and it had worn
her out.
“Let’s go to bed!” He must have seen how tired she was and led her upstairs. She bit her lip again,
wondering with a racing heart if he meant to let her sleep in his bedroom or hers. When they arrived at
her bedroom door, she stopped and withdrew her hand from his. “Goodnight.”

When she turned to open the door, he asked, “Will you be cold sleeping alone?”
She understood at once, shaking her head firmly. “Nope. I have air conditioning.” He laughed out loud.
“Is it as warm as I am?” She thought internally, It’s much safer than him, that’s for sure.
“Uncle, if you’re that warm, you probably have a fever. For your safety, I think it’s better for you if we
don’t sleep together.” She wasn’t stupid. After all, she had just turned 24, and it wasn’t as though she
didn’t understand how romantic relationships work.
He blushed slightly and coughed lightly. “You are so considerate. Why don’t you think of a way to
help?”
She didn’t know how to answer him, so she opened the door quickly and slid through the gap before
peeking out. “Well, I can’t help you. Goodnight!”
He looked at her with a hurt expression but didn’t force the issue. “Goodnight.”
