Chapter 119 – Buying A Ring
Noticing the change in her expression, Xian Zihao cast a glance in the direction she was looking but didn't see anything.
"Don't tell me you also want to take the mirror too." He laughed.
Jiang Ruolan hid her expression and looked at him with a faint smile. Then, she looked back at the square pillar. Seeing that her eyebrows were slightly furrowed while she was still staring at the mirror, Xian Zihao looked behind him again, but the figure was already dodging behind the pole.
Instead, next to the four-sided mirror, there was a wedding ring counter.
Xian Zihao's handsome eyebrows rose slightly as he looked at Jiang Ruolan's confused expression with a non-smiling smile. He then walked towards the ring counter.
Jiang Ruolan was suddenly shocked. She thought that Xian Zihao also saw the figure behind the pole, and when she was about to stop him, she saw that he was actually walking towards the wedding ring counter.
She stiffened and confused.
Jiang Ruolan quickly walked towards him. At the same time, she turned her head to look at the side of the square pillar surrounded by the mirror, but there was no sign of the man. The man was gone.
Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and looked at the time. It was already so late. If that person knew them, he would not hide like a guilty person and spy on them.
Unless…
Those strange and cold eyes…
That person had followed them!
Jiang Ruolan subconsciously looked at the man next to her and noticed that he was looking at the two wedding rings issued by the clerk. She then asked in a daze, "What are you doing?"
"Sir, this is the latest diamond ring designed by the most famous jewelry designer in France this year. This ring is made of platinum, and it is only released in 50 pairs." The clerk said to Xian Zihao in detail. His face was full of courtesy.
"Which one do you like?" Xian Zihao looked back at her.
All of Jiang Ruolan's actions and expressions froze for a moment. Seeing that Xian Zihao was not joking, she said, "I don't like diamond rings, they just look beautiful. Plus, it's very inconvenient for me to wear them when I was working, so you don't have –"
She meant that Xian Zihao didn't have to buy a ring at all.
"I'll take these rings." Without waiting for Jiang Ruolan to finish, he signaled to the clerk to bring over the simple yet meticulously crafted platinum rings. He then took the red velvet box and took out the woman's ring.
Xian Zihao looked at Jiang Ruolan's left hand, which was holding a large bag. His lips curved into a smile.
Xian Zihao signaled with eyes, indicating Jiang Ruolan to lift her hand.
Jiang Ruolan looked at him hesitantly. She then looked at the small, delicate, platinum ring in his hand.
This was the first time she had met a man who can elegantly hold a small ring. Jiang Ruolan raised her hand as if she were asking for something, and as she did so, Xian Zihao grabbed her hand and placed the platinum ring on her ring finger.
The cool touch from his fingers caused Jiang Ruolan's entire body to shudder. The moment the astonishing size of the ring completely wrapped itself around her finger, her heart trembled.
"Ah, the size is just right! It seems that this pair of wedding rings are suitable for you two. Originally, platinum rings have no gaps and if the size is not suitable, we can only customize them. I didn't think that this pair of rings were really designed for you two! This ring is truly beautiful on this young lady's hands!" Praise the clerk.
The clerk was right. These rings seem to have been specially designed for them. The size fits perfectly.
Jiang Ruolan stared blankly at the ring finger of her left hand. She raised her head and saw the gentleness in Xian Zihao's eyes. His hand, which was originally on the back of her hand, suddenly rested on hers.
The warmth and the way Xian Zihao treated her confused her.
When he let go of her hand and handed the clerk his card, Xian Zihao used his left hand to hold Jiang Ruolan's hand.
His clear and bright eyes gazed at her figure.
The happiness that came to Jiang Ruolan's heart was beyond her imagination.
Such a man almost tore down the wall in her heart. The heart that had been crushed by Han Xuegang suddenly beat fast. Even though Xian Zihao also had his reasons, he never had the intention of harming her. He gave her respect, indulgence, time, and the peace she wanted. When no one in the Xian Family believed her, when she was publicly targeted in front of those people, he had given her the greatest amount of trust, tolerance, and protection.
Jiang Ruolan was afraid that her heart would be hurt again. She wanted to escape. She tried to avoid and keep the distance from Xian Zihao, but she couldn't stop herself from chasing after his figure.
Just his back alone was enough to cause her to fall into a daze.
Xian Zihao patiently accompanied Jiang Ruolan to the shopping mall, accompanied her out for a midnight snack, helped her carry a few other bags, and stayed by her side all this time. They obviously didn't have much interaction, but why did it seem as if something had seeped into her bone marrow and affecting all of her nerves.
Since when had this aloof and superior man, who she had thought would not have anything to do with her, become her pillar of hope?
Jiang Ruolan did not understand.
Why did Xian Zihao suddenly treat her so well?
After they finished eating a midnight snack at the Sichuan culinary hotpot at the end of G City commercial street, a bell rang from the clock tower in the city center.
Since Jiang Ruolan bought some things with her, they decided to take a taxi back to the hotel.
In the taxi, Jiang Ruolan glanced at the velvet box in Xian Zihao's hand from time to time. Since the ring was just the right size for the woman's ring, she didn't take it off.
As for his ring, Xian Zihao didn't plan to wear it, but because of Jiang Ruolan's "unenlightened" look, he just told the clerk to pack it up and take it away.
When they returned to the hotel, Jiang Ruolan followed Xian Zihao from behind. She suddenly remembered the figure she saw behind the four-pronged mirror pillar in the mall. She lifted her eyes to look at Xian Zihao's tall and straight figure.
Suddenly, Xian Zihao stopped walking. Jiang Ruolan, who was in the debate on whether she should tell him about the matter suddenly hit Xian Zihao's back. She was startled and immediately stepped back.
"The meeting starts at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and it will be held for 6 hours. Don't look at the materials all night, otherwise you will not be able to last much longer tomorrow." Xian Zihao had a normal expression. After saying this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Jiang Ruolan, if you saw someone following you in the future, remember not to look."
