Chapter 70: Continuing to Court Death (2)
“This is not something you’re allowed to covet!”
What a succinct and d.a.m.ning reply that had been!
To this day, Su Ziqian was still unable to forget how Gu Yu’s tone and expression hadn’t had an ounce of warmth in them. The harshness he had displayed then had given her chills.
She couldn’t understand why he felt so strongly about the ring. Gu Yu had never objected to anything she’d asked for before. All she had to do was voice her desire, and he’d have someone deliver it to her doorstep. She was even beginning to wonder what he would do if she asked for the stars! So why was he refusing to give her this old ring?
Her woman’s intuition told her that this ring already belonged to someone else. However, the only woman apart from herself who had ever been linked to Gu Yu was his ex-fiancée, Xu Weilai!
She had asked around, and when she’d found out about the story of Xu Weilai and Gu Yu’s breakup, she was convinced that Xu Weilai couldn’t have been the ring’s owner. If it had been her, that would mean that Gu Yu liked her. And if that were so, why would he have backed out of their betrothal?
Su Ziqian hadn’t been able to wrap her head around it, so she eventually decided to stop thinking about the ring’s owner altogether. Other than the fact that her family background was unavoidably inferior, she was confident that all her other traits were impeccable. She believed that Gu Yu would eventually be willing to put that ring on her finger and ask her to marry him.
Regardless of who the ring used to belong to, she would eventually be the one and only owner!
She had always confidently held onto that belief—until Xu Weilai returned. She was now beginning to panic and feel anxious. In fact, she wasn’t acting much like herself at present!
Ms. Li scoffed in infuriation at Su Ziqian’s foolish sense of confidence. “Ziqian, have you already forgotten the incident regarding the interview? You’ve made a huge mess this time! If Mr. Gu gets mad, you’re going to lose everything you have right now. I’ll be blunt with you! Mr. Gu may dote on you, but he has never once acknowledged you in public! A man can change his mind at the drop of a hat! Just look at how he treated his ex-fiancée! They used to be such a loving couple, and she was so favored! But didn’t he dump her all the same? Do you want to be next?”
Xu Weilai was the last person that Su Ziqian wanted to hear about at that moment, and the mere mention of her set off Su Ziqian’s fuse. “What a joke! Can Xu Weilai even begin to compare with me?”
“Forget it. Given the current situation, for your sake as well as mine, we’ll just have to figure something else out!”
