Gu Xiaoai turned her head in surprise toward Li Juefeng.
Li Juefeng was lounging on the sofa, tilting his chin up slightly, his short hair neat and tidy, exuding an innate arrogance and pride. His expression was haughty, as if he were bestowing a favor.
“Mr. Li.” Housekeeper Tong brought a plate over to Li Juefeng.
Li Juefeng took a ring off the ice in his glass and, with one hand, slid the shimmering ring onto her ring finger.
It happened in a flash.
Without thinking, Gu Xiaoai clenched her hand into a fist and dodged away, leaving Li Juefeng’s hand hanging in mid-air with the ring.
“Hmm?” Li Juefeng lifted his eyes, a flicker of menace passing through them.
“I…” Gu Xiaoai stared at the ring, speechless for a moment before finding her voice again, asking softly, “Li Juefeng, do you understand the meaning of a ring?”
Her hand was still in his grasp.
Discussing the meaning of a ring with him?
The menace gradually faded, and Li Juefeng raised his eyebrows with interest, “Go on.”
Gu Xiaoai pulled her hand free, took the ring back, and placed it in the glass, saying earnestly, “If you don’t intend to marry that woman, never give her a ring. It only leads to misunderstandings.”
Li Juefeng watched the gemstone ring being placed back in the glass, not angry but instead smiling mischievously, his lips curving into a wicked arc, “Gu Xiaoai, do you really want me to give you an engagement ring that much?”
“Ah?” Gu Xiaoai was taken aback.
Was it her wording or his comprehension at fault?
Why did everything she said seem to be misinterpreted by him in various ways?
“The high thresholds of the Li Family are not easily crossed by every woman,” Li Juefeng said as he forcefully pulled her hand again, slipping the ring on and kissing it, “But as long as you behave, I won’t tire of you so quickly.”
It was the biggest promise he had ever made to a woman.
And she… she was just his mistress, discussing the meaning of a ring seemed too solemn.
The ring on her ring finger shone brilliantly, like a force of oppression mysteriously enveloping her.
Gu Xiaoai’s expression stiffened, and she managed to squeeze out a smile, “It looks nice.”
She might as well wear it in front of this man, to avoid further conflict.
Honestly, she wished he would tire of her immediately. The relationship between a financial backer and a mistress was too tentative and too dangerous. The longer it lasted, the more likely she was to be exposed to her dad and uncle…
“Of course, I chose it,” Li Juefeng said in high spirits, lifting her from the sofa, “Come on, I’ll take you to buy a car.”
Gu Xiaoai glanced at the TV, which had already switched to the next news item, no longer showing Chu Shixiu’s familiar face.
