Lin Qing hummed twice but didn't get up. The sofa was so soft that she would fall asleep if she lay there for a while. Thinking of this, she gently closed her eyes and shrank her head to find a comfortable position.
sleepy…
"Didn't you hear what I said?" The light in front of her eyes was suddenly blocked, and Lin Qing opened her eyes slightly, and a handsome face suddenly appeared in front of her. The man's chin was angular and his thin lips were slightly pursed.
"I heard it." Not knowing what he was going to do, Lin Qing shrank back and turned over, "Have you eaten? I'll do it now."
She actually remembered to eat.
Mu Li looked at her coldly without saying a word. He had a headache and sat on the sofa rubbing his temple.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Lin Qing stood next to his legs and moved closer to take a look.
Mu Li pushed her away and still said nothing.
"So... what did you say to me just now?" Lin Qing put his hands behind his back, his expression serious.
"No." Mu Li glanced at her and moved his fingers.
There seemed to be a hard object in his pocket, which was square and conspicuous. His unconscious movement was obviously noticed by Lin Qing.
But he said no, so Lin Qing didn't ask any more questions. He sighed secretly and went upstairs to change his clothes.
When Lin Qing came down again, Mu Li was still sitting on the sofa with the TV on. However, when Lin Qing went upstairs, Mu Li put the videotape back and put it in an inconspicuous place.
"I heard that a TV series premiered today, it's very good." Lin Qing sat down next to Mu Li and winked at him, "Do you want to watch it together?"
"No." Mu Li's eyes twitched.
Lin Qing was a little disappointed. She moved to the side to grab her purse, opened it, searched for her phone and took it out to play. She had downloaded several games a long time ago, but she had never had time to play them.
"Hmm?" When Lin Qing took out his cell phone, he saw something that didn't look familiar.
"Lin Qing." Mu Li called out from behind her and put one hand in his pocket.
Lin Qing took out the small box and responded to Mu Li without turning her head. Mu Li was annoyed and pulled her shoulders to make her turn around: "Look at me when you talk!"
The box in his hand was opened with a snap. Lin Qing looked down and was stunned for a moment.
"You... say it." Although she answered Mu Li, it was obvious that her attention was completely attracted by the thing in her hand.
Following her astonished gaze, Mu Li also looked at her coldly. For a moment, he also paused, and the hand in his pocket gradually clenched into a fist.
"Why do you have this?" Mu Li's voice was very low, and his sharp eyes almost pierced Lin Qing.
"I..." Lin Qing's voice was hoarse, and he really didn't know how to answer.
In the small box in the palm of her hand, there was an exquisite diamond ring. The light from the ceiling shone softly, and the diamond ring glowed with a light green light.
This ring is exactly the same as the one Mu Li gave her...
Lin Qing stared at the ring, and after a long time she looked at Mu Li again. The unfathomable look in his eyes made people feel uneasy.
"Mu Li, this ring..." Lin Qing wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to start. Not to mention Mu Li, even she herself didn't know what was going on.
She hadn't seen this when she was looking for a small mirror in her bag at noon, so why now...
Lu Xiao's face suddenly flashed in Lin Qing's mind, as well as the sparkling eyes when Lu Xiao looked at her.
"It's just a ring. If you go and order an identical one, who would find out?" She remembered Lu Xiao saying this when they had dinner together last time.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao took seriously what she had already rejected.
Lin Qing was depressed for a moment. Should she cry or laugh
Looking at the shadow gradually cast on Mu Li's handsome face, Lin Qing wanted to make the ring disappear immediately. However, he thought, why not just go with the flow
Mu Li stood up with a cold face and was about to leave without saying a word. Lin Qing held the ring in one hand and reached out with the other hand to grab Mu Li's sleeve.
"This... I asked someone to fish this out of the river, and it was brought back." It was a lie after all, so Lin Qing felt a little guilty when she said it. Her watery eyes seemed to dodge for a moment before she looked at Mu Li again.
Mu Li raised his lips and said, "Oh? Can such a small ring be found after it falls into the river?"
"Yes... yes." Lin Qing was so confused that sweat broke out on her forehead. She was not sure whether this probability really existed. She could only bite the bullet and appear more confident. "My luck has always been good."
She thought Mu Li would believe it if she said that, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was so distrustful that he didn't even bother to doubt it.
"Luck..." Mu Li pondered over the word, smiling, "Lin Qing, I didn't know you had such good luck."
This increasingly cold tone made Lin Qing feel very uncomfortable.
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Qing slightly widened his eyes, stared at Mu Li and blocked his words, "Are you unhappy that I found the ring? Mu Li, this is a gift from you. Now that I found it, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Mu Li asked meaningfully: "Are you sure this is a gift from me?"
Lin Qing simply opened his palm and held the ring in front of Mu Li: "Here, check for yourself to see if it is it."
She was stunned when she saw the ring for the first time. Not only was it abrupt, but also because it was exactly the same as the one Mu Li gave her. Even the cutting surface of the diamond and the feeling of it in the palm of her hand were the same. For a moment, Lin Qing couldn't help but wonder if Lu Xiao had really asked someone to fish it out of the river without her knowledge.
Mu Li raised his eyebrows, fixed his eyes on the ring for two seconds, and then looked at Lin Qing: "Since I have lost my memory, how can I remember what the ring looks like?"
Lin Qing bit her lip and said with determination: "Anyway, this is the one you gave me."
"Lin Qing, your lying skills are getting better and better. I'm a little curious about who you learned this from." Mu Li moved Lin Qing's fingers away with disgust, almost prying them apart one by one. He stared at Lin Qing's eyes for just a moment, then turned around and went upstairs.
"Mu Li!" Lin Qing's palms felt empty and her heart ached inexplicably. She shouldn't have lied. If she told the truth, maybe he wouldn't be angry.
Mu Li said nothing, went upstairs, turned a corner and walked into the study, closing the door heavily.
Lin Qing chased after him and ran to the study door to pull the handle, but turned it and found that it was locked from the inside.
"Mu Li, open the door." Lin Qing tried his best to remain calm, still holding the warm ring in his little fist.
Mu Li took out a foreign book from the third shelf of the bookcase and sat down by the window. Lin Qing kept knocking on the door outside, making a lot of noise. He frowned slightly, flipped a page casually, and found that he had no intention of reading.
Ten minutes later, the knocking stopped.
Mu Li's brows slightly relaxed. He had been staring at this page for ten minutes, but he hadn't even finished reading a single line. He was furious, and his blood boiled when he thought of the ring he had just seen. He wished he could throw it out of the window on the 25th floor.
After a long while, he took out his cell phone and called his adjutant: "Check for me who Lin Qing met and what he received today."
The adjutant received the order and immediately started to investigate.
The reason he acted like this was that when he came back from the hospital in the afternoon, he met Chen Qudong at his doorstep.
Chen Qudong was obviously here to look for Lin Qing. He knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response. He called Lin Qing's cell phone but no one answered, so he simply stood at the door and waited.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw someone he didn't want to see. Mu Li had a headache because of the hypnosis before, so he was too lazy to open the door.
At this time, Chen Qudong stopped Mu Li who was about to enter the password: "Where is Lin Qing?"
"I don't know." Mu Li asked Chen Qudong to move aside with disgust, and entered the password without hesitation. The door opened and he stepped in.
"0707?" Chen Qudong was slightly startled when he saw the password, and his eyes darkened for a moment.
"Mr. Chen, who gave you the courage to snoop on the password of other people's doors?" Mu Li turned around coldly and looked at Chen Qudong.
However, Chen Qudong was obviously still concerned about the password: "Did you tell Lin Qing the password?"
Mu Li sneered: "This is also her home, shouldn't she know?"
07, Lin Qing.
If Mu Li told Lin Qing, Lin Qing would not leave even if she knew that he had done such a thing for her.
Chen Qudong suddenly stepped forward and waited for Mu Li, his eyes full of anger.
"Mr. Chen, you're glaring at the wrong person." Mu Li waved his hand and asked Chen Qudong to step back a little, preparing to close the door.
Chen Qudong stretched out his arm to block the door that was about to close: "Mu Li, don't you know yet?" There was a sudden smile on his face, as if he was proud.
Mu Li didn’t understand, and was too lazy to understand, so he didn’t say anything.
Chen Qudong continued: "Lin Qing's ring is lost, you should know that."
When the ring was mentioned, Mu Li's brows slightly furrowed. Obviously, this topic caught his attention.
Seeing this, Chen Qudong continued with more complacency: "If I tell you that I gave her an identical one and she accepted it, what would you do?"
Mu Li's eyes darkened, and it was obvious that he was thinking about something else.
“Exactly the same?”
"Yes, exactly the same. But what's more important is that she accepted it, which proves my position in her heart. Commander Mu should know best what the meaning of giving a ring is." Chen Qudong deliberately emphasized the second half of the sentence.
Mu Li sneered: "That woman is very stupid, maybe she thought I asked you to give it to me."
Such indifference made Chen Qudong feel frustrated.
"You really don't care?" Chen Qudong asked again after a pause.
"I don't have time to care about such trivial matters." Mu Li interrupted Chen Qudong who was about to speak and glanced in the direction of the elevator. "If you have nothing else, please go back."
The door slammed shut.
Chen Qudong, who was still standing at the door, was nearly hit by the door. He took two steps back and stared at the closed door for a while, his lips curled up into a smile unconsciously.
He specially asked someone to make a custom ring, and according to calculations, it should have been successfully delivered to Lin Qing.
In the evening, Lu Xiao, who only wanted to help Lin Qing, sent a text message: It's done. At this time, Lu Xiao thought it was just to promote the reunion of Lin Qing and Mu Li.
Mu Li didn't want to think about it anymore. He came to his senses, put down the book, and took something out of his pocket.
It was a small square box, black with a gold border, which had been in the drawer of his military office. Now it seemed to contain something valuable, heavy and substantial.
Mu Li threw the box on the table casually. It was no longer important, but his eyes did not move away for a long time.
After a moment of silence, he picked up the box again and opened it gently. On the soft sponge lay a diamond ring. This diamond ring was exactly the same as the one in Lin Qing's hand. No, it should be said that it was the one he had given to Lin Qing.
