Qiao Ruoxi was so shocked that her speech became incoherent.

She turned her head to look at him twice. She was not sure of his intentions. ‘Is it really for me?’

‘Look at how touched she is. It’s just a ring and she’s already so happy?’

The corners of Feng Yunan’s mouth twitched imperceptibly. He added, “Don’t be too touched. Giving you a ring doesn’t mean anything. Grandpa wants to check it. This is for him to see. He has to do some superficial work.”

Actually, the ring was indeed for Qiao Ruoxi. Otherwise, he would not have pretended to ask her to try it on.

After all, the ring was almost on her finger at the wedding. But he had abandoned her and gone after Wen Ke’er. Actually, he owed her one.

‘Oh… I see!’

His words were like a bucket of cold water that woke Qiao Ruoxi up in time.

She woke up and instantly understood.

It really didn’t mean anything when he gave her the ring. It was just to deal with his grandfather’s check.

The surprise just now was like a shooting star that flashed across her heart.

The heartwarming scene reflected by the candlelight in her mind gradually blurred until it disappeared.

It turned out that everything was just her imagination.

But…

Even though she knew that the man had given her the ring to deal with the check, she was still very touched.

It was the first ring she had ever received in her life.

Looking at the dazzling diamond ring, she remembered what she once said to a customer:

[You may only get married once in your life, and you only have one wedding ring.]

It did not represent the price or the capital to show off. It represented the loyalty and longevity of marriage.

[When you meet the right person at the right time, you can give a suitable ring to the person you truly love. It has an irreplaceable significance.]

Now, she might have to change her values.

If she had not met the right person at the right time, she might have gotten married more than once. The wedding ring could not have symbolized the loyalty and longevity of marriage.

Not every man and woman who gave a wedding ring to each other loved each other.

Feng Yunan went straight upstairs after returning to the dining room.

Qiao Ruoxi came in after her, and Auntie Jiang came out smiling. “Young Madam, you’re back.”

Even the servants here had changed their salutations?

“Okay.” Qiao Ruoxi nodded.

Auntie Jiang gestured for her to come in. “Young Madam, come in quickly. I’ve already prepared the congee. It’s just right for us to eat now.”

“What porridge?” Qiao Ruoxi was surprised.

“Young Master called earlier and said that you didn’t have dinner. He told the kitchen to prepare porridge for your stomach. Look, it’s already prepared.”

As she listened to Auntie Jiang’s explanation, Qiao Ruoxi felt touched and her heart was full of gratitude.

Feng Yunan seemed cold and heartless, but his actions were heartwarming.

After eating the porridge, Qiao Ruoxi texted her mother: [Mom, I’m not going home tonight. I’m staying at the Ocean Pavilion. You and Little Jing take care of yourselves.]

Soon, Su Hui replied: [Why are you there again? What if he bullies you?]

Understanding her mother’s worries, Qiao Ruoxi replied: [No, he’s not bullying me. He’s going back to the Feng family tomorrow, so he’s staying here tonight. Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll be fine.]

After the call with her mother ended, Auntie Jiang came over to inform her, “Young Madam, all your things are in the study room and they’ve been disinfected. See if there’s anything missing. Tell me if there’s anything missing.”

“Oh, okay.”

‘What was that? Has it been sterilized?’

Qiao Ruoxi did not quite understand what she was talking about and went straight to the study.

After opening the door to the study, Qiao Ruoxi found three blue plastic containers on the floor.

When the lid was opened, there was a chest of old books, a chest of old clothes, and a chest of miscellaneous things.

She was shocked!
