Chapter 990 The Ring Fits
In the past, outsiders' evaluation of Li Jinxing was that he was young but had a deep mind, and his shrewd and calculating appearance made it difficult to see through him.
He never shows his emotions, and does things without any plan. He always catches his enemies off guard and makes them hard to guard against. Even the people around him cannot see through him.
But now it was different. Not to mention others, Zhou Yi and He Tian, even Mrs. Liu could understand his thoughts. What he was thinking was reflected on his face, and he almost wrote his weaknesses on his face.
He is now completely different from his former self. Mrs. Liu thinks that Li Jinxing is quite good now, as he is more humane. However, He Tian and Zhou Yi do not think so. A person who achieves great things does not need much humanity. Humanity and empathy will only become his weaknesses.
Li Jinxing was sleeping in bed. For the first time in the past two months, he felt obviously sleepy. He closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep. After less than half an hour, he woke up in a daze, not knowing where he was.
He had a beautiful dream. In the dream, Gu Wanqiu was lying safely in his arms. He held her gently, his arms around her waist, and then tightened them more and more.
This dream was so real that he seemed to be able to feel her heartbeat and breathing. Just as he hugged her tightly, he suddenly woke up. After waking up, he found that what he was holding in his arms was the quilt.
There was no heartbeat or breathing, only his heart was beating, and when it was quiet, only his breathing could be heard.
Sleeping on the same bed, he held Gu Wanqiu in his arms. This was just an ordinary thing before. He held Gu Wanqiu in his arms to sleep every night, without any dreams. When he woke up in the morning, he subconsciously glanced at her in his arms, and then couldn't help but kiss her gently on the forehead.
What was once the most ordinary thing has now become a dream that can only be encountered by chance.
Li Jinxing turned over in pain. The wound on his left hand had healed, but the nail was still black and the blood clot inside had not yet dispersed. Even after the wound on the fingertip healed, there would be a permanent scar, constantly reminding him of the stupid things he had done.
He looked quietly for two seconds, then lowered his hand and pressed it against his forehead. A shadow covered his eyelids, and his eyes began to feel hot again.
Li Jinxing took two deep breaths, trying to suppress the pain. The moment he turned over and got up, he caught a glimpse of something shiny out of the corner of his eye.
Looking closely, there is a ring in the corner of the wall next to the window.
Li Jinxing was instantly attracted to it. When he picked it up and took a look, he immediately recognized that it was the ring he gave to Gu Wanqiu, but the 9-carat diamond on it was gone, leaving only the ring.
It goes without saying that Gu Wanqiu most likely took the diamond off and carried it with her, intending to exchange it for money when she ran out of money in the future.
He still remembered the set of jewelry he had prepared for Gu Wanqiu, a 9-carat ring and a 12-carat diamond necklace, which added up to exactly 21 carats, just as a human soul also weighs 21 grams.
When he sent her out, he really hoped that Gu Wanqiu would marry him.
Li Jinxing put the ring without the diamond on his little finger. It was neither too big nor too small, just the right size.
Who said that if the ring a woman wears on her ring finger can just fit on a man's little finger, it means the two are made for each other.
Li Jinxing finally returned to North City and took nothing with him except this inconspicuous ring.
Mrs. Liu had already prepared dinner. Two months had passed, and there was still no news from Gu Wanqiu. The news of her death seemed to be a foregone conclusion that no one could change.
Li Jinxing told her that he would only look for Gu Wanqiu for three months, and if he didn't find her within three months, he would give up and assume that she was dead.
At that time, Mrs. Liu's mind was filled with only one sentence: "How could this happen..."
She asked Li Jinxing, if he was willing to give up after not finding Gu Wanqiu for three months?
Li Jinxing's response at the time was, "I'm unwilling, but no matter how unwilling I am, I can't change my fate. I used to believe that man can conquer nature, but now I don't."
When Li Jinxing was eating, Mrs. Liu noticed that there was a ring on his little finger. She felt it was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
Mrs. Liu couldn't eat when she thought of Gu Wanqiu. She had frequent stomachaches in the past month and had gone to the hospital to get medicine several times.
Fortunately, Li Jinxing was out during the day, so she could still boil some Chinese medicine at home.
Just drinking Chinese medicine made her stomach feel full. She couldn't eat anything and her mouth was full of bitterness. Mrs. Liu looked at the moon outside. Today was September 30th, Gu Wanqiu's birthday.
In late autumn, the temperature has begun to drop slowly. The weather can best be described as clear and crisp. Mrs. Liu stood by the window looking at the stars outside.
I couldn't help but ask, "Miss Gu, where are you? When will you be back? Don't be afraid, Mr. Li is no longer the Mr. Li of the past. He won't hurt you. If you are tired of playing outside, come back early and we will make up for this birthday. I will cook your favorite meal for you."
