Wen Ning was staring at him, her heart skipped a beat, she always felt that his eyes and the words he just said had other meanings.
She lowered her eyes and turned her fingers unconsciously around the ring at the knuckles.
Jiang Shu lowered his head and glanced at him, feeling unpleasant in his heart.
This jewelry brand Fang has a very good eye, Wen Ning's fingers are light white and slender, and the jewelry looks extraordinarily delicate when she wears it on her hand.
However, she did not have the habit of wearing jewelry in the past. She was a child who grew up with hardships and had to do a lot of work all the time. Jewelry was cumbersome and expensive for her. When she was on a business trip, she would ask Ren Tiangao to bring her some gifts. At that time, Jiang Shu didn't have much thought, things were chosen at will by the subordinates, and no one paid attention to Wen Ning's preferences. He only knew that choosing a high-priced one would never go wrong. .
In retrospect, I have bought a lot of such gifts, but he has never given them personally. Often, when Ren Tiangao sent him back to Yuganwan, he took the time to hand them over to Wen Ning.
Those things, Jiang Shu had never seen her wear them once.
When asked, she only said that she was reluctant, for fear of breaking it.
At that time, Jiang Shu was not careful, and after listening to her words, he replied casually: "It's not something valuable, just buy it if it breaks."
Only the ice floating flower bracelet that was broken and reattached by her is often worn by her. If that kind of thing is broken, it is worthless, but she wears it happily every day.
When Jiang Mengmeng asked, she just smiled and said that it was the first gift Jiang Shu gave her.
Jiang Shu touched the long-ordered velvet box in his suit pocket. For the first time in her life, she felt timid. She should be very disappointed in him. He didn't know what to ask for, except for the domineering look for opportunities to appear in front of her all the time. she came back.
The manor at the top of the hill costs a lot of money, and the luxury that is incompatible with the small mountain village can be seen everywhere. Only a small dilapidated house in the corner of the courtyard still retains its former appearance.
Wen Ning was absent-minded, in a low mood, and walked slowly. The former Jiang Shu never stopped for anyone. The two went out together or attended some public occasions. I went my own way and never worried about whether the little girl beside him could keep up with him. That night he left her at the charity auction, and on New Year's Eve he left her at the supermarket. lost.
But now, the man is tall with long legs and big strides, but he is still slowly adhering to her side, following her rhythm, slowly accompanying her, occasionally raising his arms slightly, passing by in a virtual circle behind her, and carefully I didn't dare to touch her, worried that the little girl would not agree and would cry.
The manor's courtyard is large, Wen Ning's pace is slow, and the two of them walked for a long time. Jiang Shu was very patient, and even for a moment hoped that time would stop at this moment. She walked quietly in his world, and he had a chance. Be by her side.
It's just that after thinking about it again, they can't stop there, even if it's not for himself, but also for Wen Ning, the first twenty years of her life were too hard, and in the years to come, he wants to give her too much. So much, she deserves the best.
The two walked to the cabin, Wen Ning stagnant footsteps, glanced quietly to the side, worried that Jiang Shu would notice, and hurriedly retracted his gaze, but Jiang Shu's whole mind was on her, so what happened to her every move can escape his eyes.
The man tightened the velvet box in his palm, took a few steps forward and pulled Wen Ning, who had deliberately sped up to leave the wooden house.
Wen Ning frowned slightly, but she was so tiring after a whole day of thrilling. Grandpa's departure made her sad, and she really didn't have the strength to pull with him at this moment.
Jiang Shu's movements were very light, not as arrogant and rude as he used to be. When he took out the velvet box from his pocket, he quietly took a deep breath: "Ningning, this is for you, I... This ring was designed by me. , You have thin fingers, and you look good in this shape. At first, you made the size by feeling. When you started making it, I found out that I rarely held your hand before... I know that I am not a thing, I used to be you run after me..."
"I went to see you in the small townhouse that night. Later, you slept very deeply. I secretly measured your fingers. Fortunately... the size is just right." Jiang Shu's face rarely flashed unconfident, "Look at the happy do not like?"
Wen Ning frowned delicately, pursed her lips, shook her head, and didn't reach out to pick it up: "I can't ask for it, you can keep it for others later."
She still owes him hundreds of thousands, and she really can't afford his things.
Wen Ning's refusal was expected, but the next sentence, he sounded a little uncomfortable, and the man's voice was a little helpless to please: "Ningning, there is no one else, and there is no one else in the past and future."
Jiang Shu pulled his mouth and chuckled softly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I've lived for 28 years and have never had a woman. The only exception is you."
Wen Ning lowered her head, thinking to herself that Jiang Shu was a big liar. The third-floor bedroom she accidentally broke into was hiding his secret. Jiang Mengmeng said that her brother never let anyone in that room, and she herself Once in, he often stays for a whole day, that room is very important to him, there is his past.
"Don't say that, our marriage was a mistake from the beginning. With your status, you can always want someone you want. The meaning of the ring is very special. When we got married, we didn't have it, and fortunately, it didn't. Don't give it away easily." Wen Ning's voice was a little tired.
Jiang Shu sounded a little distressed, and couldn't bear to force her any more, he just said, "I always wanted only you..."
It was just her from start to finish.
He reached out his hand to hold her, and Wen Ning took a step back: "There has been a problem in our marriage, I tried hard to fix it, but if something is broken, it is broken, and it can't get better, and you just haven't Habit."
Jiang Shu's chest was filled with stuffiness, and he put his big hand on her forearm and gently rubbed the slender wrist, his tone was a little eager: "Ningning, do you remember that ice floating flower bracelet? Even if it was already It was broken into pieces, but you still found them piece by piece, carefully glued them together, and after wrapping the ribbon, you wore them for a long time, and kept telling me that they looked good—"
Before he could finish his words, Wen Ning suddenly spoke, and after crying, the tone sounded a little pitiful: "But you also said at that time that broken is broken, and it is worthless."
The cracks are still there, and one day they will fall to the ground again. She is afraid of this feeling. It is better not to have it in the first place, otherwise it will only make her heartache even more.
The little girl took his hand away from her wrist, turned around and walked in. As she passed the hall, the servants came out to greet her.
They hadn't seen Wen Ning, so they hesitated: "This is...?" Jiang Shu had never brought any woman here before, even if he didn't know his identity, his attitude was always respectful.
Jiang Shu followed her from behind, grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him, tilted her head and introduced to the servant, "Madam."
"Hello, ma'am!" A row of people bowed in a busy manner.
Wen Ning looked up at him and waved to the servants: "I'm not—"
But this time it was Jiang Shu who did not wait for her to finish speaking, and took people into the hall domineering, as if he didn't want to give her a chance to explain the relationship between the two.
Dinner was prepared early in the restaurant. The dishes on the entire table were changed to appeal to Wen Ning's appetite. The kitchen had probably already been instructed by Jiang Shu himself, and all the dishes were her favorite dishes.
However, Wen Ning had never eaten much, so tonight she was too sad, and she ate even less.
Jiang Shu served her dishes several times, although she did not refuse, but she was not interested.
"Good, eat well, and when you're full, your grandfather can leave with confidence."
Jiang Shu coaxed very patiently.
This trick really worked for Wen Ning, but because she thought of her grandfather again, the little girl had tears in her eyes, and she buried her head in the rice pitifully.
Jiang Shu regretted saying that sentence just now. He didn't eat two bites of the rice in his bowl, and he was staring at her for the whole meal.
At this moment, she was eating hard, her cheeks bulging, and Jiang Shu suddenly shook his head. When this little guy was sitting beside his wooden bed and eating the rest of the rice, he was exactly the same as he is now.
He couldn't help but add another chopstick dish to her, but this time she ate it. Jiang Shu hooked his lips in relief. The atmosphere was a little warm. It rang in time.
The little girl stopped eating, holding her chopsticks, apparently silently waiting for his response.
Such a scene had appeared between the two of them countless times. Jiang Shu either spent the entire meal talking about business, or just picked up his suit jacket and left. Wen Ning had been left too many times, and he seemed to be used to it. such a scene.
But now, Jiang Shu stretched out his hand and hung up the phone without changing his face, not even bothering to look at the screen.
After a long while, the phone call came to mind again, Wen Ning sighed, and said in a glutinous voice, "You answer it."
Jiang Shu turned off the phone indifferently: "If you don't answer, I'll accompany you to have a good meal."
