Xia Yuqing slowly lowered her gaze and finally noticed the ring on her finger. Her eyes widened. The very same ring he took away from her was now back where it belonged—on her hand.
For a moment, she could only stare at it blankly. Then her heart swelled, and she looked up at him with sparkling eyes before suddenly leaning forward and kissing him—once, twice, then all over his face like an excited little squirrel.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you…" she whispered between kisses, her voice trembling with relief and happiness.
Lu Jinchen laughed softly and wrapped his arms around her tightly. "Did you really think I'd give your ring to someone else?"
Her lips wobbled, eyes misting again. "I thought—"
He flicked her forehead gently. "You thought wrong."
She lowered her eyes, embarrassed. He sighed and pulled her closer, his voice lowering to a tender whisper beside her ear.
