Chapter 206: The Ring On Her Ring Finger (1)
So, s.h.i.+ Yuting had an elder brother.
“Yeah! But their relations.h.i.+p isn’t that good. Even though they’re brothers in public, but in truth… He wants my brother dead!”
Zuo Weiyi was once again stunned by her words.
s.h.i.+ Tiannan had made an impression of a gentle person in her mind last time they met. To hear that his actual person was this unsightly, she was shocked.
As expected of the relations.h.i.+ps in rich families, how complicated.
While they were talking, Zuo Weiyi’s phone suddenly rang.
She looked down at her phone and saw that it was from Gu Yansheng.
Now that she thought about it, after such a big incident in Zuoyue, Yansheng probably came back.
“h.e.l.lo?”
“Weiyi, where are you? Are you alright?!”
As soon as she picked up the call, Gu Yansheng questioned her rapidly, his tone full with anxiety.
He had never expected this kind of incident would happen after he left.
When he heard that she was trapped on the 28th floor and was not found by the firefighters, he grew even more uneasy.
Hearing his concerned voice, Zuo Weiyi smiled, “I’m fine. Are you back in Country Z?”
“Yeah, I just arrived. Where are you right now?”
“I… I’m in s.h.i.+ Residence.”
Upon hearing so, Gu Yansheng was surprised.
He slowly opened his mouth after a few moments, “You went back to s.h.i.+ Yuting?”
Even though he appeared to be calm, sadness still seeped into his tone.
Zuo Weiyi nodded. “Yeah.”
“Why did you go back? He has forgotten about you.”
That day at the restaurant, when he saw her agonizing expression, he swore to himself that he would take care of her for an eternity. Yet, she had still crawled back to s.h.i.+ Yuting with a body full of wounds.
Was he really that important to her?
Listening to his words, Zuo Weiyi only smiled silently.
“He has always remembered me, but it’s a long story. Yansheng, thank you for taking care of me all this time, I… can never thank you enough.”
Her words broke his heart.
What he wanted was not her thanks.
“Have you thought it through properly?”
“Yes.”
The moment s.h.i.+ Yuting dashed into the fire to save her, she was ready to give up everything. Even if it meant giving up her life, she still wanted to stay by s.h.i.+ Yuting’s side.
Gu Yansheng stayed silent for a long while before finally speaking again, his voice melancholic.
“Alright then. How about this, we’ll talk later. I still need to finish up some work.”
He did not want to say goodbye.
He was willing to wait for her, even if it would take a lifetime. If there came a day where s.h.i.+ Yuting hurt her again, he would still be standing there and waiting for her.
“Okay, good luck!”
Zuo Weiyi grinned and hung up.
It was not that she did not know about Gu Yansheng’s feelings, but she had already given her heart to another man.
Gu Yansheng returned in the evening.
With a fruitful one day and night rest, Zuo Weiyi appeared to be better.
After eating his dinner, s.h.i.+ Yuting headed to the study and finished up some work, then went to his bedroom. The person on the bed had already sunk into a deep slumber.
He walked to the side of the bed and stared quietly at her sleeping face. He took a long moment before he finally turned around to the bathroom to take a shower and then climbed into the bed.
With his body half sitting half lying on the bed, he took out a delicate box, one that had acc.u.mulated an amount of dust. He opened the box and inside laid the couple rings he bought before.
He turned his head and looked at her face. s.h.i.+ Yuting gently took her hand and slid the platinum ring onto her ring finger.
