Chapter 235 – He had to be on guard at all times against this rival (3)

The box contained a diamond ring the size of a pigeon’s egg.

What an outrageously large diamond. Of course, it was enough to make any woman that liked jewelry unable to take her eyes off of it. It was too beautiful.

Ruan Xia stared at that diamond ring for a while. When she returned to her senses, she shuddered. She instinctively looked at Qin Yu and found out that he was glancing her way. She didn’t know if that was intentional or not.

Was he testing her?

It was true that the author had written about a diamond ring with a diamond the size of a pigeon’s egg. After Qin Yu had fallen in love with the original owner, he had a designer specially design this ring. There weren’t that many descriptions of that ring in the novel, but Ruan Xia had an intuition that this was the wedding ring he had given the original owner.

According to the novel’s timeline, even if Song Tingshen had originally died by this point, the original owner shouldn’t have met Qin Yu yet. So then, how could this ring appear in Qin Yu’s hands in advance?

Ruan Xia felt a chill down her spine. She had goosebumps.

There was only one possibility; Qin Yu was testing her.

All the way until they returned to the capital city, Ruan Xia couldn’t stop thinking if her expression was wrong that day. Had her expression that day inadvertently let something slip?

In all fairness, even if she didn’t have feelings for Song Tingshen, she still wouldn’t choose to be with Qin Yu. These men were equally outstanding. The only difference was that Qin Yu was deeply in love with the original owner and Song Tingshen didn’t have any feelings for her.

Most people in the world might feel that being with someone that loves you is the best. Of course, if the original owner was still around or if she was reborn, she might choose to be with Qin Yu again. After all, this man was madly in love with her and cherished her.

Ruan Xia wasn’t willing to be with Qin Yu.

The person he loves is the original owner. Right now, they hadn’t spent much time together. If Qin Yu one day found out that she was occupying his lover’s body, she predicted that he would inevitably go down the path of darkness.

Song Tingshen was relatively more good-natured. Moreover, even if he noticed early on that she had changed, he wouldn’t care. He wouldn’t even waste any brain cells thinking about this matter at all.

Ruan Xia wasn’t sure if she could win against Qin Yu, but she knew that she couldn’t let Qin Yu discover the truth that she knew he was the original owner’s second husband in another timeline.

Their flight had been in the afternoon. It was almost very early in the morning when they got home. After Little Wang fell asleep, Ruan Xia dashed to Song Tingshen’s room and knocked on his door.

Song Tingshen had also just come out of the bathroom. He was only wearing a bath towel. He was originally going to put on a bathrobe before opening the door, but then he lowered his head and looked at his abs. He gave up on that idea and opened the door.

Sure enough, the person standing outside his door was Ruan Xia.

Ruan Xia wasn’t in the mood to look at his chest and abs. She said, “Song Tingshen, I want to tell you something.”

Song Tingshen?

Didn’t she agree to call him Tingshen?

He leaned close to her and asked in a deep voice, “What is it?”

“I want to resign from my job.” Ruan Xia didn’t know why she was telling Song Tingshen this, especially so late at night. Clearly, she could wait until tomorrow to tell him this. And yet, she wanted to tell him now.

Song Tingshen’s expression slightly changed. “Why? What’s wrong?”

Ruan Xia quickly thought of a reason and answered, “I just don’t want to do it anymore. It’s too tiring. Anyways, I have money. I’m going to mention my resignation as soon as I get to work tomorrow.”
