Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A ring.

An exquisite, sparkling, eye-catching huge diamond set on top of the ring, its glitter blinding under the light.

If Yun Rou had returned a ring, that would mean Gu Yu had once gifted her one. And rings were not something that one gives to just about anyone, because they hold a special meaning.

So, not only did they have a past together, their relationship even reached the point of a proposal?

At this point, she had all the evidence she needed, both material and what she had seen with her own eyes. As for the relationship between Gu Yu and Yun Rou, the dots began to connect. Xu Weilai gradually began to piece together everything in her mind.

Gu Yu and Yun Rou had probably been together before. They loved each other, and Gu Yu had proposed to Yun Rou. But, since Yun Rou had wanted to go abroad to pursue her dreams to be a pianist, she had rejected him. And the two went their separate ways.

Just as Su Ziqian had said, Yun Rou was Gu Yu’s first love; she was someone that had always been on his mind. It seems like it was true.

It may also be the reason for the strange expressions she saw when the Gu Family heard Yun Rou’s name.

She first met Gu Yu at his coming-of-age ceremony, when Grandpa Gu introduced her to him. Grandpa Gu told her that she was to be his fiancee. But Gu Yu was so repulsive towards her, telling her to leave and that he wasn’t interested in her. And it was all because of Yun Rou?

It wasn’t because he wasn’t interested in a relationship back then; it was because his heart already belonged to another.

Xu Weilai stood rooted to the ground, looking dazed as Gu Yu kept staring at the ring for some time before putting it back into the box. He got up shortly and walked towards the safe. He opened the safe and put the box in it with adoration before locking the safe.

Xu Weilai’s mouth curved into a wry smile.

Gu Yu had claimed that there was nothing between Yun Rou and him; surely, he was lying!

Even now, as he stared at the ring that he had gifted Yun Rou, it seemed like he was looking at something incredibly precious. But, when they had gone to retrieve their wedding certificate back then, and after Grandpa Gu had insisted that he give her a ring, he had retorted indifferently, “You’re not deserving of it!”

At the time, she had thought that Gu Yu had made the ring for Su Ziqian. From what she saw now, it seems like the ring’s real owner was Yun Rou.

Just how deeply in love was he that he had a ring made only for his proposal to be rejected?

In an instant, Xu Weilai felt her body drained out of every ounce of energy. She held on, hoping to make her way back to the bedroom. But, her chest felt so heavy that she doubled over in pain. Unable to make her way to the bedroom, ultimately, she just squatted outside the study room.

She tried her best to get up, but the throbbing pain prevented her from doing so.

Gu Yu came out of the study room. As he was walking over to the bedroom, he caught sight of Xu Weilai squatting there, unable to get up even after struggling for a while. His brows drew into a tight knot; panic flashed in his eyes. In a few quick steps, he reached her, and bent over, asking her gently, “Xu Weilai, are you feeling unwell?”

Xu Weilai didn’t raise her head, nor did she speak. She was afraid that with her guard down, she’d be unable to keep her emotions under control, and that she’d collapse in front of Gu Yu.

Seeing how silent she was, Gu Yu’s eyes darkened. He didn’t ask anything more. Instead, he carried Xu Weilai bridal-style into the bedroom. With a few giant strides, he entered the bedroom. He put her on the bed so she could lie down.

His large hand made its way to Xu Weilai’s face, trying to push her hair away so he could take a look at her. But, just as his fingertips were about to touch her face, he heard a fierce and raspy retort from her, “Don’t touch me!”

Gu Yu’s hand stopped in midair.
