Lin Xu typically bought necklaces and earrings, rarely rings.
So, the moment Ji Tingyang saw this ring, he knew it must have been a gift from Xie Changyan.
Just the thought of Xie Changyan proposing to Lin Xu, trying to snatch his mother away from him, intensified the icy chill within him.
Ji Tingyang had always been worried about Lin Xu abandoning them to choose a new life, and it seemed to be gradually approaching.
He gripped Lin Xu's hand tighter, his dark eyes like ink seemingly harboring a storm, a tempest brewing.
Lin Xu's fingers massaged his furrowed brow, explaining, "There wasn't a proposal, don't imagine things."
"But..." Ji Tingyang hesitated, his gaze returning to the ring on her hand.
"It's just a simple gift, really not what you think," Lin Xu reassured, cradling his cheek, her clear eyes roundly fixing on him, "Don't you believe what I say?"
The gloom on Ji Tingyang's face slowly faded, and he pressed his lips together before saying, "I believe."
