Chapter 118 He gave her the pinky ring

When Lin Shutang woke up in the morning, the person beside her was gone. She felt a hard object at the back of her neck. She stood up and fumbled for it, finding it was a ring. Lin Shutang saw that it was the same one Li Yansheng always wore on his little finger. He must have put it on her when he woke up that morning.

She held the ring in her hand, carefully feeling the lines on it. The band was a delicate curve, surrounding a small gemstone, a color so green that it almost looked black. Lin Shutang didn't know what kind of stone it was, but it looked beautiful. However, it seemed out of place around her neck. It was more suitable for those large hands with distinct knuckles.

However, when Li Yansheng put the ring on her, she would be lying if she said she hadn't felt anything. She had seen Li Yansheng wearing this ring ever since she'd met him, never taking it off except to bathe or sleep. One could imagine how much it meant to him. She was also surprised that Li Yansheng would actually give her this ring.

Lin Shutang stood up and saw the sun and rain outside. The depression in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot. He quickly went to the bathroom to wash up, changed his clothes and went downstairs.

As soon as I went down the stairs, the two people in the sofa area heard footsteps and looked up.

Lin Shutang politely called out, "Mr. Chen."

After being together with Li Yansheng, they had met before, but it seemed to be the first time they met in Luyuan, and so early in the morning.

She felt inexplicably embarrassed, and her facial expression was a little unnatural when she greeted people.

Compared to Lin Shutang's reserved nature, Chen Jinyao was much more casual. His disapproval of Li Yansheng and Lin Shutang being together was one thing, but his approval after they were together was another.

Although they are relatives, from a certain perspective, they are just outsiders. After all, Li Yansheng lives his own life. Only he knows who he will be happy with, and only he can make the choice. Outsiders have no right to interfere.

Seeing Lin Shutang's discomfort, Chen Jinyao withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at her.

Li Yansheng had been watching the girl coming down the stairs, his eyes filled with tenderness. Seeing her coming downstairs without socks, wearing only flip-flops, a slight hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes, not impatience, but more of helpless indulgence.

Looking at her plump toes exposed outside, Li Yansheng said, "Aunt Lu, go upstairs to the master bedroom and get the slippers."

"Yes, sir."

Lin Shutang didn't expect him to focus on her feet. It wasn't inconvenient or she was in a hurry. She wasn't bold enough to ask Aunt Lu, an elder, to get her slippers, so she immediately said, "I'll go myself."

After saying that, he trotted upstairs.

Li Yansheng kept looking in the direction she left until her back disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Chen Jinyao saw all of this, picked up the teacup on the table and said with a sigh: "I never thought that you would have such a day."

Li Yansheng looked back at him without saying anything. He was obviously skeptical of what he had just said and motioned for him to continue.

Chen Jinyao: "How could you have paid attention to these things in the past?"

But in reality, Chen Jinyao also understood that it wasn't that Li Yansheng didn't notice, it was just that he hadn't wanted to pay attention to anyone before. Now, someone he couldn't help but want to pay attention to appeared, and some things just happened naturally.

"In a situation like this, at the very least, she's throwing a tantrum, and at the worst, she's just giving you the cold shoulder and forcing you to make a choice. Based on your usual temper, she's just a woman, and you probably wouldn't take it seriously. You wouldn't even glance at her, let alone buy a plane ticket overnight just to pursue her. Are you worried that she'll marry someone else and never come back?"
