However, since Han Jingnian stated that she would find out in due time, Xia Wan'an, despite her curiosity, didn't press him to tell her.
The two breakfasted in silence. When Xia Wan'an got up to refill her bowl of porridge, the diamond ring hanging on her neck accidentally knocked against the marble tabletop, creating a clear, resonant sound, causing her to glance at it.
Upon seeing the ring, Xia Wan'an thought back to the previous day when Jingnian had come to her rescue, placing this necklace around her neck. As for the ring, he might have procured it on a whim… besides, he never said it was for her.
With these thoughts, Xia Wan'an gently placed the ring on the table, sliding it towards Jingnian. "This... I'm giving it back to you."
Jingnian looked at the ring being pushed across towards him, a flicker of confusion across his face before glancing questioningly at Xia Wan'an.
"This ring...."
After hearing her four words, Jingnian understood what Xia Wan'an was implying.
