Engagement ring

After hearing the words of the Night Wind Martial Artist, Qin Guangnan's brows furrowed.
The Night Wind Martial Artist suddenly appeared beside Qin Guangnan and said, "Father, since Qin Qinghan refuses to drink or eat, why don't you let her be engaged to a strong convict? He won't live long anyway, and when he's dead, she can come back to Zhang Gongzi."
Qin Guangnan's eyes changed, and he suddenly laughed, offering the Night Wind Martial Artist his hand. "If you like this withered willow, then it's yours."
Qin Guangnan treated Qin Qinghan like a slave, showing no respect. Qin Qinghan knew she had no choice but to obey. Her parents were unable to accept her being engaged to a strong convict.
"Father, how can you treat Qinghan like this? She has done so much for the Qin family. She is your granddaughter." Yang Yu pleaded with Qin Guangnan.
Qin Zhi, defeated, sighed and said, "Forget it. Perhaps this is Qinghan's fate."
A loud slap echoed in the air. Yang Yu scolded Qin Zhi, "You useless thing! You can't even protect your own daughter."
Qin Zhi remained silent, unable to protect his daughter. He was powerless. The Night Wind Martial Artist watched Qin Qinghan's helpless and desperate eyes and felt pity. He knew he had to do something to protect them.
The Night Wind Martial Artist then proposed, "It seems you have accomplished something great. Since you have set the engagement, then you must have a ring."
He took a box out of his pocket and slowly approached Qin Qinghan.
Qin Qinghan's hands tightened, her eyes filled with vigilance and aversion. She knew the Night Wind Martial Artist's violent nature.
The Night Wind Martial Artist tried to soothe her, "Silent Moon, will you be my daughter?"
Silent Moon hesitated, "My mother will not agree."
The Night Wind Martial Artist sighed, "If I become your father, no one will ever separate you from your mother."
Qin Qinghan's eyes flickered with something, but she still shook her head and looked at Qin Guangnan.
Qin Guangnan hesitated, then took out a box with a dazzling diamond ring. "Qinghan, will you marry me? I will protect you and your life from now on."
The ring was worth millions. Qin Qinghan hesitated, knowing she had no choice.
A man in a suit scoffed, "A strong convict even has a ring? It must be stolen."
Another man, Zhang Go, also sneered, "Maybe it's a trinket from a street vendor."
Suddenly, Zhang Go took out a ring even more dazzling than the first. "Qinghan, if you will give up your child, I will give you this ring."
Qin Qinghan remained silent, but her eyes did not meet Zhang Go's.
The Night Wind Martial Artist placed the ring on Qin Qinghan's finger. A rare blue sapphire, the size of a thumb, glowed on the ring.
The entire hotel was shocked. An appraisal confirmed the sapphire was one of only two in the world, worth hundreds of millions.
Qin Guangnan realized the ring was genuine and foolishly thought he could buy Qin Qinghan.
Qin Qinghan never wore the ring. She kept it hidden, knowing it belonged to the strong convict.
The Night Wind Martial Artist and Qin Qinghan left the hotel together.
