However, since Han Jingnian stated that she would find out in due ti, Xia Wan’an, despite her curiosity, didn’t press him to tell her.
The two breakfasted in silence. When Xia Wan’an got up to refill her bowl of porridge, the diamond ring hanging on her neck accidentally knocked against the marble tabletop, creating a clear, resonant sound, causing her to glance at it.
Upon seeing the ring, Xia Wan’an thought back to the previous day when Jingnian had co to her rescue, placing this necklace around her neck. As for the ring, he might have procured it on a whim... besides, he never said it was for her.
With these thoughts, Xia Wan’an gently placed the ring on the table, sliding it towards Jingnian. "This... I’m giving it back to you."
Jingnian looked at the ring being pushed across towards him, a flicker of confusion across his face before glancing questioningly at Xia Wan’an.
"This ring...."
After hearing her four words, Jingnian understood what Xia Wan’an was implying.
So, she believed that the ring wasn’t bought for her?
But... he had different plans, giving her a surprise all at once soday wouldn’t be such a bad idea...
At this thought, Jingnian simply replied with a nonchalant "Oh."
So, as she had suspected, he had gotten the ring as a last-minute solution... Yesterday, there had been several monts when she imagined that he had bought the ring specially for her, but she also felt that it was too rushed, too unrealistic...
However, there was nothing for her to be sad about, right?
Compared to before, he was treating her much better now, she couldn’t ask for too much, could she?
Xia Wan’an, trying her best to appear nonchalant, took the spoon and continued eating her porridge.
Even though she was masking it well, Jingnian, sitting across from her, still caught a glimpse of the disappointnt that flickered across her face.
His heart, as though stabbed harshly by a blade, filled with a sharp pang. His fingers, which were originally reaching for the ring, trembled slightly. In the next mont, he changed his course of action, pushing the ring back toward Xia Wan’an, "You really outdo ."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan’an was stunned, she looked at Jingnian then back at the ring.
What did he an by pushing the ring back to her?
And the statent... ’You really outdo ,’ what did that an?
While Xia Wan’an was filled with doubt, Jingnian, with an indifferent tone, spoke again: "Try it on."
Xia Wan’an sat stunned on the dining chair, looking at the ring that sparkled under the chandelier’s light, not reacting.
Thinking that she didn’t understand what he ant, Jingnian elaborated, "Put the ring on and see how it fits."
After a pause, Jingnian added, "The ring finger of your left hand."
On hearing this, Xia Wan’an trembled slightly. She continued to gaze at the ring for a mont before reaching out to take it.
Her fingertips were trembling noticeably. It took a lot of effort for her to steady herself, align the ring with the ring finger of her left hand, and then gently slide it on.
The size of the ring was surprisingly accurate... as if it was tailor-made for her.
So... was this ring, just as she had imagined several tis yesterday, specifically bought for her?
