Xiao Jinglan listened to the ringing of the bell, and then listened to it returning to silence.

After an unknown amount of time, she gradually lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

After she fell asleep, Ling Yisheng raised his hand to lift up her hair, and stared at her face with an infatuated look for a long time.

He inadvertently caught a glimpse of her empty fingers from the corner of his eye, and a deep look flashed across his eyes.

Something is indeed missing.

She had worn a ring when she got engaged, but Xiao Jinglan took it off before running away and left it in the villa at Lanting Villa.

Thinking of this, Ling Yisheng silently glanced at the men's ring on his middle finger, with a hint of sneer in his heart.

He was just being too sentimental, as he kept wearing it on his hand.

But now that we have come to the wedding, the engagement ring is not that important.

It just so happened that the wedding diamond ring in Europe had also been completed and was also placed at Lanting Villa.

He had originally wanted to put it on Xiao Jinglan himself on the wedding day, but something happened later and he didn't bother to take care of it.

I’ll bring it over tomorrow and put it on her. This way, no matter where Xiao Jinglan runs, he’ll be able to find her.

Having made up his mind, Ling Yisheng peacefully hugged Xiao Jinglan and fell asleep.

……

The next morning.

Xiao Jinglan woke up slowly, and when he raised his hand to rub his eyes, he found an extra ring on his hand.

She blinked, thinking that maybe Ling Yisheng had taken back her engagement ring.

However, when she looked at it carefully, she found that this ring was completely different from the previous one and was not the engagement ring at all.

Moreover, the ring is now worn on her ring finger.

Engagement is the middle finger.

The ring finger represents marriage.

But, they hadn't completed the wedding yet, so why would he put it on himself in advance?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Xiao Jinglan immediately sat up, put his hand under his eyelids and looked at it carefully.

This ring is smaller than the previous one and has a more delicate design, giving it a refined and low-key feel.

This ring also has the initials of the name on the edge, just like the previous engagement ring, but the design style is completely different.

Xiao Jinglan was confused but also curious.

She held the ring in her hand, ready to remove it for a closer look.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the ring remained firmly stuck on her finger.

Xiao Jinglan stared at the ring that suddenly appeared, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Could it be that Ling Yisheng did something behind her back?

Just as I was thinking about it, the door of the basement was opened.

Ling Yisheng is back.

He glanced at Xiao Jinglan who was pondering the ring, and walked towards him at a leisurely pace.

"Did you give me this ring?" Xiao Jinglan asked straight to the point.

"Well, how about it? Does it look good? Do you like it?" Ling Yisheng asked Chu Zhao to deliver it early in the morning, and he put it on her immediately after receiving it.

"It's pretty, but it doesn't seem to be the one we got engaged with?" Xiao Jinglan tried to move the ring again.

"Well, it's for wedding. It was originally intended for you to wear at our wedding." Those who understood what Ling Yisheng was not saying understood.

"Why can't you take it off? I want to take a closer look at it." Xiao Jinglan explained while asking.

Sure enough, after hearing her next words, Ling Yisheng's expression relaxed slightly.

His face was calm and his tone was indifferent, "Why take it off and look at it? Just wear it properly."

"Just don't leave it somewhere randomly like you did with that engagement ring."

"I understand." Xiao Jinglan agreed with him, still thinking about the strangeness of the ring, "But, this ring..."

"Let's eat. Stop talking about the ring. Just wear it properly." Ling Yisheng interrupted her.

"……it is good."

When Xiao Jinglan heard what he said, he realized that the matter of this ring was definitely not simple.

Moreover, Ling Yisheng deliberately didn't want to tell her and didn't allow her to ask more questions.

I can only give up for now and think about it slowly in private.

After breakfast, Xiao Jinglan stayed alone in the basement again.

There were already three or four lamps installed here, and the lights were on, so she wasn't as scared as before.

Right now, she just wanted to figure out the problem with the ring.

……

Rong Qingming received a call from Ling Yisheng when he was having breakfast with Yu Qingyan.

The latter asked about his intention in calling him yesterday.

Rong Qingming was a little confused at first, "I haven't called you!"

Before Ling Yisheng could answer, he realized something belatedly and denied it, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."

"Oh, that's it for now." Ling Yisheng listened to his words and realized something at the same time. He hung up the phone without asking any more questions.

Yu Qingyan was sitting next to Rong Qingming and vaguely heard their conversation.

She cautiously glanced at the man next to her, and immediately retracted her head when she met his gaze.

She lowered her head, looking very focused on eating.

Rong Qingming said in a calm voice, "Why, are you feeling guilty?"

"Why did you secretly use my phone to call Sheng yesterday?"

She even deleted her communication records and browsing history.

If he hadn't thought that she couldn't play any tricks and hadn't been too lazy to investigate, by now everything she did would have been reported to him.

Even though her secret was exposed, Yu Qingyan was not too scared.

Anyway, she didn't do anything, so there's nothing bad to say.

"Nothing, I just want to ask him about Lanlan's situation." Yu Qingyan shrugged and said casually.

This incident actually made it easier for her to gain Rong Qingming's trust.

Make him believe that she is really staying by his side and behaving herself.

Sure enough, Rong Qingming had no doubts after hearing this reason, and just said lightly, "What can happen to her with Sheng? It's their family affairs, don't meddle too much!"

"Too."

Although she said this, Yu Qingyan was not at ease in her heart.

When she met Ling Yisheng in that small town abroad, she always felt that he was a little weird, as if he was trying hard to suppress something, and looked somewhat dangerous and scary.

Xiao Jinglan suddenly ran away from the marriage without giving any reason.

I always feel like there's something blocking them.

What's more, between the two of them there is Wu Xiaoman and the Wu family.

The previous hot searches and the banquet were all related to that woman. She is definitely not as gentle and docile as she appears to be, and she is not weak and vulnerable.

And her brother has been secretly in love with Xiao Jinglan for many years, but has never broken the window paper. Now he can only watch her marry someone else.

The relationship between these two siblings is really difficult.

One cannot get the love he wants, the other has nowhere to escape.

As she was sighing, Yu Qingyan suddenly had an idea and thought of her brother Yu Yanzhou.

Seeing that he couldn't get in touch with her for such a long time, he should come to look for her, right? !
