"Why won't she?" Lin Huier said coquettishly, "She's already divorced you, why is she still keeping her wedding ring? Do you both hate each other?"

The two of them have always disliked each other, a fact known throughout high society.

Their engagement was a one-sided arrangement by their elders, and their union would only result in a resentful couple.

After finally getting a divorce, why does Ning Lang keep such an expensive wedding ring?

—Clearly, it's greed!

No matter how high the Ning family's status was, they were still just a bunch of rigid intellectuals who received fixed salaries.

No matter how much trouble Ning Lang causes to make money, she can only make a little. The fact that she's hiding the wedding ring and not returning it means that the "Purple Cloud Sea" is just too precious!

They always put on airs, acting all high and mighty, but deep down they're just as greedy! How hypocritical!

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xuan's mood worsened, and he said gruffly, "Back then, when we exchanged wedding rings, I didn't return the one she gave me, so of course she has no obligation to return 'Purple Cloud Sea' to me!"

The Ning family has very strict family rules. The younger generation cannot be picky about food, cannot do things as they please, and cannot act arbitrarily.

Ning Rui, who is the same age as him, doesn't like bitter melon, but as long as bitter melon is in season, he has to eat it no matter how much he dislikes it. His elders will never allow him to refuse to eat it just because he doesn't like it.

Even as a teenager, Ning Lang was already able to keep his emotions hidden, never picky about food, and never neglecting either the arts or sciences.

She didn't like purple, a fact that her old classmate had deduced after much guessing and deduction.

The school uniform at that time had a small purple bow tie, which she never wore.

Once, during the school sports meet, everyone wore their school uniforms, but she was the only one who didn't wear a bow tie.

Previously, the homeroom teacher had repeatedly emphasized that if someone didn't wear their school uniform or tie properly, they would be punished by copying the school motto a thousand times and standing for an entire class period.

Even the most mischievous and troublesome boy in the class dared not disobey, and obediently put on the school uniform, with his bow tie crookedly tucked under his neck.

Everyone else obeyed obediently, except for her, who was missing her little bow tie!

She sincerely apologized to her homeroom teacher, saying that her little bow tie had accidentally fallen off.

Fortunately, she had always been the top student in the entire grade, and the homeroom teacher couldn't bear to make her stand as punishment. However, she couldn't be too lenient either, so she still made her copy the school motto a thousand times.

The school motto has sixteen characters in total, so copying it a thousand times would be sixteen thousand characters. Ning Rui said she spent the entire weekend copying it, and her hands were blistered before she finally finished.

Only he knew that she had secretly thrown away her little bow tie the very first day her school uniform was issued.

Not only that, none of her clothes, hair accessories, or even a small eraser were purple.

I thought she would throw away in anger and leave as soon as she saw "Purple Cloud Sea" on the night of our engagement, but who knew she would keep it for eight whole years!

That's absolutely unbelievable!

Upon hearing this, Lin Huier asked with tears in her eyes, "Then why don't you return it to her? You're divorced, why are you still keeping the wedding ring? Ah Xuan, I'm your girlfriend, what you're doing... is a huge hurt to me, do you know that?"

Sheng Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she pouted arrogantly.

"Who said I wouldn't pay her back? I've forgotten, haven't I? Ever since Grandpa passed away, I haven't had a single day of peace. As soon as I have time, I'll pay her back!"

Lin Huier secretly breathed a sigh of relief and urged, "Then go this afternoon."

"What's the rush!" Sheng Xuan yawned and muttered, "I'm so sleepy from sweeping the streets this early in the morning! I'll go back and catch up on my sleep first!"

Upon arriving at the old house, Sheng Xuan stretched out his limbs and lay down directly on the bed.

Lin Huier looked left and right and asked, "Ah Xuan, where is the wedding ring Ning Lang gave you?"
