When Jing Pei heard Hong Baobao say that it really was a diamond ring, his heart skipped a beat.
"You bought it?" Jing Pei appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was anything but calm inside.
Even his hands, gripping the steering wheel, were tightly pressed together, and his palms were sweaty.
“I didn’t buy it, it belongs to someone else,” Hong Baobao said.
Upon hearing this, Jing Pei's heart was even more unsettled.
The ring belongs to someone else, which means that someone really did propose to her?
Jing Pei felt a pang of sadness and unease. After a long while, he asked, "So you agreed?"
Jing Pei felt a little self-deprecating, thinking to himself, "Hong Baobao has already accepted the ring, so of course she agreed."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have accepted someone else's ring.
At this moment, Hong Baobao finally sensed something was wrong and asked, "What?" Why couldn't she understand?
"Did you accept his marriage proposal?" Jing Pei asked clearly this time.
Hong Baobao finally understood what Jing Pei was talking about. She rolled her eyes at Jing Pei and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who proposes to me?"
"And this ring?" Although he didn't know what the ring was all about, he was relieved to hear from Hong Baobao that no one had proposed to her.
"Oh, this is something someone left with me. I'll give it back to him in a couple of days."
It was quite unexpected that this diamond ring would appear on Hong Baobao.
Let's rewind to 7:00 AM the day before.
In order to earn some points, Hong Baobao went out to do good deeds.
But just as she was doing a good deed, she encountered a man who, without saying a word, handed her a box and told her that he would come to pick it up in a couple of days.
Hong Baobao didn't want to take it; who knows if the other party was trying to scam her?
The man was quite fast; after handing the ring to Hong Baobao, he quickly walked away.
Hong Baobao quickly caught up with him, returned the ring to him, and said, "Here you go, I won't keep it for you."
Without saying a word, this person handed me something to keep safe. What if it causes her trouble?
Hong Baobao isn't afraid of trouble, but she hates trouble.
After returning the ring to the other person, Hong Baobao turned to leave.
However, the man stopped her.
The man was wearing glasses, a hat, and a mask, so Hong Baobao couldn't recognize him at all.
They were complete strangers. This man just casually tossed the things to her. Wasn't he worried that she would take them and run away, and he would never be able to find her again?
Hong Baobao really wanted to crack open this guy's head and see what was going on.
Hong Baobao lowered her eyes, glanced at the man's hand holding hers, and said in a dangerous tone, "I'll count to three, then let go."
Before Hong Baobao could even start counting, the man let go of her.
"Beautiful lady, I really have something to attend to. Could I leave this ring with you for a couple of days and come back to pick it up in a couple of days? Please help me." The man's tone was very sincere, and he sounded quite anxious.
"No." Hong Baobao refused and turned to leave.
The man was stunned for a moment when he saw Hong Baobao leave so decisively, and then he quickly chased after her.
In the distance, there were several people dressed in black suits, who appeared to be looking for someone.
When Hong Baobao saw those people, the man naturally saw them too.
"Please help me this time. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. I'll come to see you in a few days."
After the man finished speaking to Hong Baobao, he happened to see an empty taxi. He waved to it, and the taxi stopped. He quickly got in.
This time, Hong Baobao did not chase after them.
After all, no matter how fast she runs, she can't outrun two wheels.
When the men in suits saw Hong Baobao, they asked her if she had seen a strange man.
After hearing the descriptions from those people, Hong Baobao knew that they were describing the man from earlier.
Hong Baobao shook her head, not telling the truth that she had met that person.
That man was strange, and so were these people looking for someone.
However, this is someone else's business, and Hung Bo-bo has no right to interfere too much.
They should handle their own affairs.
After walking a little further away, Hong Baobao opened the box and saw that it contained only a diamond ring.
The diamond ring looks pretty ordinary; it's not as nice as the ones in jewelry stores.
Originally, Hong Baobao intended to throw the diamond ring into the trash can, but at the moment of throwing it away, she hesitated.
If it really is a problem, I've already taken it on, so I might as well keep it for now.
Otherwise, if she really threw the ring away, it might cause even more trouble.
If she wasn't mistaken, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood on that person.
However, he had no wounds on his body, which made Hong Baobao think more about it.
After hesitating for a moment, Hong Baobao put the ring into her bag.
Since that person said he would come back for the ring, she would just wait.
Today, if it weren't for the ring being in her bag, she wouldn't have bothered chasing after it.
Fortunately, the ring was not lost.
After figuring out the origin of the ring, Jing Pei breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his grip on the steering wheel.
"Rings are usually given by men to propose or for weddings." So, don't accept a ring from a man lightly.
Hong Baobao nodded repeatedly, vowing never to accept a ring again.
When Jing Pei saw that Hong Baobao had agreed, he couldn't help but smile.
Jing Pei took Hong Baobao home directly, and then left as well.
He skipped work this afternoon to go see Hong Baobao, but now he has to go back to the company to handle some things.
As soon as Hong Baobao returned home, she saw the person who had thrown the ring at her. He was sitting on the sofa, eating a bowl of noodles, and talking to Shen Quan while eating.
So, this person knows her brother, Shen Quan!
The person noticed a gaze on them, looked up, and saw Red Baby standing at the door.
He tried to swallow the noodles in his mouth, waved to Hong Baobao, and said, "Baobao is back."
Baby sister? That sounds so awkward.
Perfect timing, since this person is here, I can return his ring to him.
Hong Baobao walked over and placed the ring in front of him. "Here, it's yours. I'm returning it to its rightful owner."
“Baby, do you know Pei Xiangxue?” Shen Quan asked.
Pei Xiangxue, so that's his name.
Hong Baobao shook her head and said, "I don't know her."
She genuinely didn't know Pei Xiangxue; at most, she could only say that they had met before.
