Chapter 79: Couple's Ring (Part 2)

  Zheng Xiujing raised her hand to look at the diamond ring on her finger, feeling her breathing become slightly rapid, and a few more shades of surprise in her eyes. She didn't even hear Gao Yang's words. Gao Yang's mouth curled up, smiling as he looked at her.

  Jung Soo-jung's eyes gradually lost their surprised color, and she looked up at Gao Yang with a serious expression, saying "Oppa, this gift is too expensive, I..."

  He slightly shook his head and interrupted her, saying "I've said it before, this is our couple's ring, don't consider its value, it's a witness to the love between us."

  "But..." Zheng Xiujing wanted to say something more. Gao Yang didn't wait for her to speak and continued, "Alright, this is my sincere intention. If you're not willing to accept it, does that mean you don't want to continue our relationship?"

  As soon as Gao Yang's words fell, Zheng Xiujing hurriedly waved her hand and said "OPPA! No, no way, I, I..." For a moment, she couldn't say anything.

  "Alright, I know the most beautiful little crystal likes me, so wear it well." Zheng Xiujing's face turned slightly red as she called out in a somewhat shy tone, "Oppa!"

  "Alright, alright, you've been dancing all day, you must be starving. Hurry up and have dinner." Gaoyang said with a light smile.

  "Uh-huh." Zheng Xiujing nodded slightly, biting her lip as she prepared to eat dinner. "Huh? Oppa, how did you know I've been practicing dance all day?" Zheng Xiujing's hand holding the utensils paused suddenly as she asked.

  "Uh!" Gao Yang's face was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said "Your daily schedule is all posted on your fan site, I've been keeping track of it."

  "Oh." Zheng Xiujing didn't think much and nodded before starting to eat dinner.

  "Ah, right! When did OPPA buy the ring? How much was it?" Zheng Xiujing asked softly while stroking the ring on her finger after taking a sip of red wine.

  "I bought it some time ago, $3.5 million, originally wanted to give it to you on your debut anniversary." Gaoyang said with a smile.

  Zheng Xiujing's hand that was stroking the ring suddenly stopped, and she looked up at Gao Yang with a surprised expression, saying "Ah?"

  "Don't be like that, it's said to be a gift to witness love. Alright, eat well and we'll have a date later."

  Jung Soo-jung stuck out her tongue and said "En" in a sweet voice, with a hint of sweetness and playfulness.

  Until the end of dinner, Zheng Xiujing's face had a sweet smile on it, and the confusion that had appeared in her heart for some time had completely disappeared. After dinner, the two drove to Hanjiang Park.

  In the evening of September, there were many people in the park, especially couples who were everywhere. Gao Yang held Zheng Xiujing's hand and walked in the park for a while, and they had already seen at least three pairs of lovers being affectionate!

  "It's already so dark now and the light around us isn't good either, what are you still doing wearing sunglasses?" Gao Yang said somewhat speechlessly.

  "Ah, oppa, I'm sorry. I was afraid of being photographed." Zheng Xiujing said with some unease, taking off her sunglasses and secretly glancing at Gao Yang's reaction.

  As an artist, if a scandal is exposed, it will have a great impact on her! It's not just her own business, as a member of F(X), it will affect the popularity of the entire group! And also the lives of their agents, assistants and many others. After all, they are still just boyfriend and girlfriend for now, and Jung Soo-jung doesn't want to end her career yet.

  Jung Hye-mi is afraid that Go Yang will get angry about this, after all, Go Yang is a man who has a girlfriend but can't show her off, of course he would be dissatisfied! In Korea, male chauvinism is quite prevalent!

  Gao Yang shook his head slightly, looking into Zheng Xiujing's eyes and said seriously, "I'm not a person who likes to control others' fate. Everyone has the right to decide their own destiny! Even if we get married in the future, I won't interfere with your work."

  Zheng Xiujing lightly bit her lip, her bright big eyes constantly flashing, a sweet feeling surged in her heart, and she suddenly threw herself into Gao Yang's arms and tightly hugged his waist.

  Gao Yang gently lifted the corners of his mouth and lightly wrapped his arms around Zheng Xiujing's shoulders. Under the moonlight, the two people stood there quietly embracing each other by the Han River.

  After a while, Jung Soo-jung left Goyang's arms and tidied up the hair on her ears, saying softly, "Oppa, thank you."

  Before Gao Yang could say anything, Zheng Xiujing used both hands to support his cheeks, tiptoed and leaned in. The warm, soft lips were pressed onto Gao Yang's mouth. Half a moment later, their lips parted. Zheng Xiujing slightly lowered her head, the blush on her face deepening even more.

  Gao Yang reached out and touched Zheng Xiujing's still moist lips, smiled but didn't say anything. He took Zheng Xiujing's hand and the two of them strolled leisurely along the riverbank. A warm breath flowed between the two people.

  Not far away, the neon lights of the Han River Bridge flickered with cars coming and going, like a long dragon made up of car lights. The 63 Building, a Seoul landmark, stood tall and its lights shone brightly in the night sky, dazzlingly eye-catching.

  The distant bustle sets off the leisurely tranquility of the park. The Han River brings a moist evening breeze, the mud on the riverbank emits fragrance, and the emerald green grass reveals its fresh color.

  The two people were both in a state of intoxication amidst this scenery. Zheng Xiujing felt extremely happy, the taste of love filled her heart.

  "The Golden Tower is so beautiful." Zheng Xiujing said softly, looking at the 63 Building in the distance. Gao Yang nodded and suddenly thought of something, smiling and saying "I bought a 57-story building in Beijing recently, but I haven't named it yet. I just thought of calling it Xiujing Tower, how about that?"

  "Ah?" Zheng Xiujing was shocked by Gao Yang's words, "Oppa, you bought a 57-story skyscraper? In Beidou? I heard the housing prices in Beidou are very expensive."

  Gao Yang helplessly shook his head slightly and pinched Zheng Xiujing's nose, saying "I'm asking you a question, what do you think of calling the building 'Xiujing Tower'?"

  "What? No!" Zheng Xiujing pouted and shook her head slightly. "Huh? Why? Don't you like it?" Gao Yang asked with some surprise.

  Zheng Xiujing didn't say a word, she just gently shook her head. Gao Yang smiled and dropped the subject. After a while, the wind from the river grew stronger, and the two of them started walking back and forth.

  After getting on the car, Gao Yang asked softly "Send you home?" Zheng Xiujing was slightly stunned, pouted and said in a low voice "Oh."

  "Why don't we go to my place and have a cup of coffee?"

  "Ah!" Zheng Xiujing's body trembled, her cheeks flushing visibly. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Gao Yang.

  Gao Yang chuckled and started the car, heading towards his residence. In a voice that only he could hear, he said, "I asked you, and you didn't refuse, so that means you agree."

  Turn on the car music, playing a soothing piano tune, and drive into the traffic flow on the highway. All the way, Gao Yang had a happy smile on his face, while Zheng Xiujing, sitting in the passenger seat, kept her head down and didn't dare to look at Gao Yang.

  Before long, the car returned to Gao Yang's residence. After parking the car, Gao Yang came to the passenger seat to help Zheng Xiujing open the door. After getting out of the car, Gao Yang coughed and said, "I just wanted to invite you for a cup of coffee."

  Jung Soo-jung, who was gradually recovering with a faint flush on her face, tightly grasped Gao Yang's hand and took the elevator to the top floor apartment.

  As soon as Zheng Xiujing changed into slippers and walked into the living room, she was amazed and covered her mouth. The house was really beautiful! The tall and spacious house, with its complex structure and exquisite decoration, gave people a stunning beauty.

  Gao Yang smiled and pulled Zheng Xiujing's hand to the upper level of the constant temperature garden. "Oh my god!" Zheng Xiujing covered her mouth in surprise again, there was actually a swimming pool in the room! It was really too luxurious!

  Jung Soo-jung has lived in Korea for a long time and is deeply aware of the narrow land and cramped houses. Even her sister's big house can't be compared to Goyang, where the space is just too vast.

  Looking at the strangely shaped artificial hill in the pool, the fresh flowers around her emitting a fragrance made Zheng Xiujing feel a strong warmth in her heart after a tiring day. She turned to look for Gao Yang to say something, but found that he had already gone downstairs. Zheng Xiujing looked at the pool and then went downstairs to find Gao Yang.

  As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Gao Yang seriously preparing coffee at the bar. Zheng Xiujing's face turned slightly red and she walked forward saying "Oppa, do you need help?"

  Gaoyang looked up and gave her a smile, "Go sit for a while, it'll be fine soon." "Oh."

  Jung Soo-jung sat down on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, but her eyes were fixed on Gao Yang who was making coffee.

  Before long, a strong coffee aroma wafted over, the flavor was extremely rich and fragrant, Zheng Xiujing couldn't help but look forward to it.

  Before long, Gao Yang brought coffee to Zheng Xiujing's side, put the coffee on the tea table and said softly to Zheng Xiujing, "Wait a minute, it's hot." "Oh." Zheng Xiujing sniffled and responded in a low voice.

  Gao Yang smiled and reached out to help her tidy up the hair on her earlobe, smiling lightly as he said "I just thought of..." but before he could finish speaking, a ringtone interrupted him.

  He slightly furrowed his brow, took out his phone to check the number, and found it was a call from the person in charge of the African mine. His heart tightened slightly - if it wasn't something important, they wouldn't be calling him!

  "Hello?" answered Claude, a Frenchman who had been running the mine for over 10 years before Gaoyang acquired it.

  "Boss, the government people just came by. They said they're going to raise our taxes! And they also said that the government is planning to take back the oil mine as state-owned!" Claud's words immediately darkened Gao Yang's face.

  Jung heard French but couldn't understand it, yet she could feel the sudden chill in Gao Yang's demeanor and looked at him in surprise.

  Gao Yang felt Zheng Xiujing's gaze, turned his head and gave her a slight smile to reassure her, got up and walked towards the window. "Whose idea is this? The President's? How much tax increase? Take back the oil mine? On what grounds take back the oil mine?" Gao Yang's tone was sharp.
