The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 227 - Are You Getting Married? 4

“Xiao Ai.”

“Uh?”

“Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?” Chu Shixiu asked softly, his voice so low it was almost inaudible.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She wasn’t in a hurry to get rid of him.

She was in a hurry to push herself away, not wanting him to understand her fully.

Standing in front of him, she felt overwhelmed with insecurity.

Not knowing what to say, Gu Xiaoai used Li Juefeng as an excuse, “I’m sorry, he… is still waiting for me.”

After speaking, Gu Xiaoai turned to leave, her eyes beginning to sting again.

“Xiao Ai…”

Chu Shixiu urgently grabbed her hand from behind, not letting her go.

His fingertips brushed against something.

On her ring finger, a teardrop-shaped gemstone ring shone brilliantly, small and exquisite, complementing her fair hand…

Chu Shixiu’s gaze froze for a moment, staring at her in astonishment.

Gu Xiaoai, somewhat flustered, pulled her hand back, biting her lip with inexplicable anxiety.

It was just a ring.

Why was she so nervous…

“Tear of Aerli?” Chu Shixiu looked at her in disbelief, stubbornly grabbing her hand again, the gemstone ring on her ring finger declaring a certain significance.

Uncontrollably, Chu Shixiu tightened his grip on her slightly cool hand, causing her to frown in pain.

“Chu Shixiu, don’t do this.” Gu Xiaoai winced in pain, trying to pull her hand back.

But Chu Shixiu persistently held onto her, raising his eyes to look deeply into hers, his tone almost obsessive, “Didn’t you say that only those who are married can wear a ring? Are you getting married?”

…

Gu Xiaoai stared at him blankly, not even feeling the pain in her hand.

He still remembered what she had said when she was young?

How could his memory be so good… remembering until now… she had almost forgotten.

No, she had already forgotten, completely forgetting even the things she once held dear.

That’s why she wore the ring given by her financial backer, without any emotional significance.

The teardrop-shaped gemstone on the ring seemed more like a sarcastic joke.

Seeing Gu Xiaoai remain silent, Chu Shixiu urgently said, holding her hand tighter, “Xiao Ai, how many boyfriends have you had? You’re only twenty-two, there’s no rush to get married. Have you really seen that person’s character clearly? Is he truly good to you? Good enough for you to entrust your entire life to him?”
