Once, she too had such a ring. Beautifully cut diamond, bright and dazzling, with a pure white, solid circular band.
She would never forget that moment when Jiang Xudong prepared a special birthday for her. After she blew out the candles, he said he had a special gift. He asked her to close her eyes and extend her hand.
She did as told, feeling a coolness on her finger. When she opened her eyes, she saw a brilliant, radiant circle on her finger.
He stood before her, resolute, saying nothing, just raising his left hand and embracing her tightly.
She hugged him back, tears of emotion flowing, seeing the same brilliant ring on his left ring finger.
No proposal speech, no witness, not even a symbolic rose – but at that moment, she felt happiness as if floating on clouds.
The lively music was replaced by soft melodies, and the cabin gradually fell silent.
Ding Nuanyang sat in her seat, silent, head lowered, staring intently at her left ring finger.
What a pity.
Such a beautiful ring, unable to secure her happiness.
The flight attendant’s sweet voice repeatedly spread through the air, reminding everyone not to forget their belongings when disembarking.
Despite the cabin not being crowded, Mo Yafei instinctively spread his arms, protectively guarding Ding Nuanyang within his control.
Collecting their luggage from the baggage carousel, Mo Yafei led Ding Nuanyang out of the airport.
“Shall we grab something to eat?” Mo Yafei glanced around, shifting his gaze from the nearby KFC at the airport to a Sichuan restaurant beside it, and pulled Ding Nuanyang directly towards it.
It was peak dining time, and the restaurant was full. Mo Yafei navigated through the crowd with Ding Nuanyang, finally finding a seat. He helped her sit down, then seated himself on the other side, taking the menu from the server and handing it to her. “There are so many customers here, the food must be good. Take a look and see what you want to eat.”
Before even opening the menu, Ding Nuanyang had already called out a string of dishes. “Spicy chicken cubes, water-boiled meat slices, couple’s lung slices, maoxue wang…”
“Miss, you’re only two people, right?” The young server gently interrupted Ding Nuanyang.
“Huh?” Ding Nuanyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly.
