The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly outside, but the entire Zhou family was silent.

The servants dared not utter a word, listening to the quarrel coming from the study on the second floor. Even the housekeeper, whom Zhou's father had always trusted, did not dare to step forward.

Zhou and his son quarreled for half an hour.

"Dad, what do you want me to say so that you can understand? I don't have it!"

"Don't you like me, or don't you dare?" Father Zhou sneered, "I'm your son, how could I not know your temper and personality?"

"What do you know, I..."

"Go after her if she likes you!"

Zhou's father spoke each word clearly. Although his roar was not loud, it was very penetrating, making Zhou Hui stunned on the spot.

"What do you mean, Dad?" Zhou Hui just couldn't understand.

Last night, he'd stayed up late, hanging out with a bunch of buddies and girls. They'd been out late, and today, the driver had dragged him out of bed and brought him back. He'd said he had something important to talk to him about. When he got home, he saw Song Nian sitting upright on the sofa. At that moment, the sun shone on her face, and she turned back to smile at him. He felt both joy and guilt at the same time.

Everything he did was intentional, to show her that he had given up and that she could let down her guard. Father had also disliked Song Nian from the beginning because of the Haicheng Bai family incident, and even when Second Uncle vehemently assured him that she was a good girl, Father remained unmoved. Who knew he'd suddenly propose a marriage between the Zhou and Song families?

God knows his heart skipped a beat when he heard those two words.

Although he knew the outcome would definitely be rejection, his father changed his mind.

"You, won't stop me?"

Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Zhou's father took a deep breath, sat on the sofa, refilled two cups of tea, and signaled him with his eyes to sit down first.

Father Zhou said solemnly, "I only know that if I miss it, it will be for my whole life! You are my son, I should support you in everything you do."

"But she has a boyfriend."

The atmosphere at the weekly meeting was very low.

So humble that I feel like I am about to fall into the dust.

Zhou's father was so angry that he opened his mouth to scold him, but he held it back.

"Don't you have a girlfriend?"

"That's fake!"

Zhou Hui retorted almost immediately. Seeing his father raise an eyebrow and gradually become angry, he looked away and hissed, "I have my own difficulties. Anyway, you don't understand."

Father Zhou sneered.

He took a sip of tea, and a smile slowly grew in his eyes.

What a shame he doesn't understand.

Nothing to show off to young people.

The conversation between his son and his uncle that day was deeply engraved in his mind. Since he had decided to do it, he did not regret it.

"Zhou Hui, I don't care what you think. In short, your father wants you to know that if you like someone, go after them. Don't let yourself be filled with hatred for the rest of your life. And don't make me regret my decision today!"

After saying this, Father Zhou took a sip of tea and dialed the internal line to ask his secretary to send over the company affairs.

Obviously, he didn't intend to talk to him anymore.

When Zhou Hui looked up, he saw that his father had returned to his usual stern and domineering attitude, but his brows were slightly relaxed.

He had clearly given up firmly, but his father gave him hope!

It made everything he had done these days seem like an idiot.

"Dad, the Zhou family has lowered their profile. Don't you think it's a disgrace to the Zhou family?"

Father Zhou paused. The prosperity of the Zhou family was all due to his "decisiveness in killing the powerful families". Not to mention his son, he would not allow anyone in the family to do anything that would damage the dignity of the Zhou family.

but……

Father Zhou put down the documents in his hand, looked at his son like a loving father and said, "Marrying someone you love is something you should be proud of for the rest of your life. Is it shameful for you?"

"Of course not." Zhou Hui was very excited, "But...she really has a boyfriend."

"Have you seen it? Is he better than you? Don't you have confidence?"

“…” Zhou Hui pondered.

He knew what to do.

Song Nian had originally asked for leave for the afternoon elective course, intending to return to the company to handle matters.

After the last board meeting and the false accusation incident, she gradually adapted to the high-intensity lifestyle of the Song Group and gradually became more comfortable with it. However, a call from her counselor called her back.

It was to persuade her to join the student union.

Song Nian refused this matter from the very beginning. She was really busy. Qi Yu, the company and the school were all less busy than her.

Just then, the second batch of combat boots and weapons she had ordered arrived. She decided to head to school first to deal with the easiest tasks before returning to deliver the weapon. As she entered the school gate, a male student in a motorcycle suit emerged from a flashy sports car, holding a large bouquet of flowers and approaching the girls' dormitory.

"Wow, nine hundred and ninety-nine red roses! This is much more beautiful than the Blue Rose. Roses really have to be red."

"It's the weekly meeting, right? Why did you break up with the beauty so soon? Who are you going to pursue this time?"

The female classmates around her uttered sounds of envy, and then as Zhou Hui walked around, cheers were heard all around.

Sure enough, wherever he goes, he becomes the focus.

Song Nian had no intention of getting caught up in all this. She quickened her pace and was about to leave when a figure suddenly appeared, a red color covering her eyes and falling right in front of her.

"Song Nian, I like you."

The boy is already very handsome, and at this moment, he is kneeling on one knee under the scorching sun, looking romantic and affectionate.

The sudden confession caused the girls around to scream.

Soon, the area was crowded with people.

Song Nian blinked her eyes to confirm that she was not mistaken. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Zhou Hui, are you crazy?"

The man remained unmoved, still with that handsome face, and said affectionately: "I just like you, it started three years ago, you know it. I didn't want to bother you before, but now I've figured it out. If you are destined to be my wife in the future, then why should we miss it now?"

"..."

Song Nian asked the heavens speechlessly.

I was so shocked by his words that I couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

She remembered rejecting Zhou's father at the villa an hour ago.

“Uncle, I’m really sorry, the Song family does not marry into the Zhou family.”

"Do you look down on our Zhou family?"

"Of course not. I just think that marriage is a matter between two people. It shouldn't become a family bond or be entangled in interests. Besides, Zhou Hui and I both have our own lovers. You're really messing with us."

Although Zhou's father said at the time, "It doesn't matter, time can prove everything, and you will know that my Zhou Hui is a good person", her attitude of rejection was so obvious. At least she thought that Zhou Hui would be the same as before. Why does it seem now that it is completely the opposite of what she thought?

"Zhou Hui, you know, I..."

"I know, I know everything. Xiao Nian..." Zhou Hui stood up, his affectionate eyes seemed to be able to speak.

He leaned over, put his red lips close to her ear and said, "I know your little secret, so if you agree to be with me, I'm willing to protect your secret for you, okay?"

"What if I can't say it well?" Song Nian frowned.

"Zhou Hui, are you threatening me?"
