"Yes! I love it!" Eleven lifted her hand high, looking at the ring on her ring finger, her heart filled with joy. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Indeed, women hold an inexplicable fascination for diamond rings. She truly liked it.

The joy on her face was half genuine, half feigned.

The reason being, when he gives her a gift, she always reacts with a delighted expression, whether she genuinely likes it or not.

Seeing a gift, she instinctively reacts before even considering her true feelings.

However, today’s diamond ring lifted her spirits halfway.

"I spotted it at the airport; thought it would look beautiful on you. We’ve been married for quite a while now. I owe you a ring. That was my oversight."

Their marriage is not only covert, but also a marriage of convenience. Therefore, Eleven doesn’t care for ceremonial formalities and never wished to have everything that normal couples do. So, even though they didn’t exchange diamond rings when they got married, she was never bothered.

Thankfully, it’s a secret marriage and the media doesn’t recognize her. Therefore, she’s not constantly in the news because of Gu Liancheng.

Of course, netizens have sharp eyes. Some had previously mentioned that Gu Liancheng wasn’t wearing a wedding ring and started rumors about marital discord. However, Gu Liancheng had remained silent on the matter.

He usually does not respond to news items, letting the world speculate with an attitude of indifference, regardless of external opinions.

"Where’s mine?" Gu Liancheng extended his hand generously.

"What?"

Eleven quickly realized that he meant... his gift?

Right. He returned from Japan bearing gifts for her, but she, having also returned from Japan, didn’t bring anything for him!

Though a bit childish, at that moment Eleven was taken aback and laughed nervously, "Um... can I owe you a gift?"

After saying this, she kissed him on the cheek.

Gu Liancheng didn’t fuss over it.

When Aunt Fang passed by, Eleven showed off her ring, "Auntie, see the ring my husband bought for me. Isn’t it pretty?"

"It’s beautiful," Aunt Fang replied with the warmth of an elder watching over their younglings, her expression one of contentment as long as they were happy and harmonious, "Your husband treats you so well, madam. Don’t stay mad at him."

"Do I dare to stay mad at him?"

She dare not get angry at him?

He might have believed that once, but after these few days, he totally didn’t buy it anymore.

When this girl lost her temper, not just anyone could placate her.

Eleven moved away from his embrace and said, "Honey, I’m going to check in at school, see if there’s any news."

"Worried?"

"Not really," Eleven denied, but spoke the truth, "When I found out that she had been plotting against me all along, I was really angry. I even thought about fighting fire with fire, making her experience being me."

"So, why didn’t you?"

"I don’t want to become like her."

She has to act with a clear conscience. She can’t stoop to cheap tricks. She has to accumulate merit for Jiujiu’s sake.

"What goes around comes around. Do too many bad things and heavens will punish you. She drank the wine herself, she drugged it herself. If she didn’t harbor evil intentions, everything that followed wouldn’t have happened. I’ll let her seal her own fate, see what karma has in store for her. If she suffers, it means even heaven can’t tolerate her, it won’t be my fault, right?"

"Of course," Gu Liancheng stood up, gently caressed her hair, "Whatever you say is right. You did well."

If Eleven had stooped to her level, she wouldn’t be his Eleven anymore.

As for the dirty work, he’d handle it.
