Chu Wuyang was stunned for a moment, then fumbled around for the ring for a long time.
She had already prepared her reason the moment Maria almost blurted it out.
"A while ago, when I was busy with my thesis and graduation project, I was worried about damaging it while doing crafts, so I took it down and left it in my apartment in the city center."
Anyway, Jingmin probably wouldn't be so bored as to ask her to get it right away, right?
If she goes back to Haicheng, she can simply say she left it in New York; it's too far to retrieve anyway.
In time, it's just a ring; the busy CEO Jing won't care about it.
The storage room in the Jing family manor alone contains a huge collection of various rings.
She remembered that similar styles were available, so she could just grab something similar; he only asked about it on a whim.
Well, Jingmin didn't react much after hearing that.
He calmly instructed her to take care of her leg injury and to avoid getting it wet while showering.
He wanted to help her, but she looked so resistant, and he wasn't blind, so he didn't say anything. Overall, the wound wasn't too big; it just needed a little care.
Chu Wuyang, lying on the bed, didn't even lift her head and gave a perfunctory answer.
She was thinking that after Jing Min treated Yun Yang like that tonight, Yun Yang must be heartbroken. She might even turn her love into hatred and seek revenge.
Or perhaps her manipulative behavior today has led her down a path that leaves her with nowhere to go.
Whether it's envy or jealousy, as long as you're willing to go all out to win Jingmin's heart, that's enough.
Either way, she'll be rid of this madman.
But if Yun Yang is someone who endures hardship and bears burdens alone, then she... has a long and arduous road ahead.
When Jingmin reached the door and saw how perfunctory the other party was with him, he knew without a doubt that his overt and covert threats and reminders were useless.
Somewhat unwillingly, he returned to the bedside, forcefully pulling Chu Wuyang up. Chu Wuyang felt a sharp pain on her cheek as someone pinched and kissed her—or rather, bit her.
Feeling resentful, Jingmin bit the person until he tasted a salty-sweet flavor before letting go and leaving without a word.
I heard a pillow being thrown behind me.
——
The following evening, Chu Wuyang, dressed in an elegant long dress, strolled slowly in the garden, seemingly unintentionally.
The last rays of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled orange-red hues on her.
Her gaze seemed to casually sweep over the surrounding flower bushes, but she was secretly keeping an eye on a certain figure.
For a while, Yunyang came almost every day.
However, the garden was unusually quiet today, and her gaze slowly drifted towards the outside of the villa.
There's usually a black car parked there at this time, but there isn't one today.
There was no movement from the main building all day; she observed for a whole day and indeed no one came.
At the same time, Chu Wuyang's thoughts drifted to Jing Min. She recalled the clumsy act she had performed yesterday, worried that she would be exposed.
However, it now seems that Jing Min believed it, which surprised her somewhat.
I can breathe a sigh of relief for now. Does this count as a successful attempt to sow discord?
With a heavy heart, she took out her phone. Because she had been worried about Yang Jinchu's injury, she immediately made a call to inquire about him after learning that the signal jamming had been lifted.
Then I tried several times and the connection dropped instantly. Could I have been blocked?
Then I thought, it's actually normal, since the main reason lies with myself.
And so, for the time being, she still has an inseparable relationship with this abuser.
Since that's the case, she hopes he can recover well. She can tell that Wen Ying is a good girl who cares about him and will definitely take good care of him.
Let him focus on recovering. Perhaps my greetings are a bothersome disturbance to him.
The same thing happened the next day; Yunyang indeed did not reappear at the villa.
Jing Min seems to truly keep his word; at this point, it seems like they should continue with stronger medication.
Now that everything's fine here, I should go back to China because I can no longer keep track of Yunyang's movements from here.
In that instant, Chu Wuyang felt that, perhaps influenced by Jing Min, they seemed like a pair of eccentric people.
Jing Min held her tightly, while she stared intently at Yun Yang, completely baffled by Yun Yang's feigned reluctance. Otherwise, things would be much simpler.
With that in mind, she suggested that she return to China.
I wonder what Jing Min has been busy with lately; he's been elusive, like a dragon that's only seen briefly.
During the day, he asked Yan Zhou to tell her that he was very busy and would be late for two days, but then he suddenly appeared in her room that night.
Only two days after Chu Wuyang refused Jing Min's offer to stay the night, Chu Wuyang found him to be a completely different person.
Jingmin dragged his heavy steps into the room and slowly moved to sit on the sofa.
The moment he sat down, he let out a barely perceptible sigh; the act of supporting himself on the sofa seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Chu Wuyang stood in the center of the room, her hair still dripping wet from her shower.
Chu Wuyang frowned slightly. "What's the matter so late?"
Jing Min half-closed her eyes and slightly raised her head. At this moment, her skin, accentuated by the bath towel, was fair with a hint of pink, and her whole body exuded a fresh scent.
He felt as if he were about to decay, his eyelashes lowered slightly, and his voice hoarse.
"Are you bored? The signal jamming has been lifted. I've been too busy these past few days to pay attention to you. I'll go back to China after I'm done with my work in a couple more days."
Chu Wuyang wanted to immediately say that she could go back first, and there was no need for them to come together.
But seeing that he seemed off, what I wanted to say turned into a greeting.
"What happened to you? Weren't you cured? Why do you look so haggard?"
He had been ill before, but she had also witnessed his reckless violence, and just a few days ago he had been physically abusing someone with great vigor.
It was definitely not the skeletal figure he is now. That might be an exaggeration, but it's true that his face was pale.
