Chapter 614: Chapter 701: Can I Take a Look at the Ring on Your Hand?
With just one sentence, Gu Liancheng realized that she was a formidable opponent.
Indeed, who would disagree.
Usually, when someone compliments another on their beauty, at least half of them would politely respond with: "You’re also very beautiful."
And the other half would choose to say ’thank you.’
But Shen Cheng’s response was quite unique. Her comment, "that’s because you didn’t see me yesterday," led people to think, "I was even more beautiful yesterday than today."
Shi Yu lazily glances at Shen Cheng with a sudden change in his otherwise indifferent expression because of her presence, his smile at the corner of his mouth flickers, unclear whether his mood was good or bad.
When Gu Liancheng made eye contact with Shen Cheng, he caught sight of Shi Yu’s reaction from the corner of his eye, and his heart sank, as if there was a heavy stone pressing down on it, suffocating him.
He’s not someone who can’t smile, but he doesn’t smile at other women except for his wife.
Such a man is deeply devoted and also very charming.
What woman doesn’t wish to find a man who only has eyes for her, who will never look at another woman?
"You two, are well-matched."
Gu Liancheng finally shifted her gaze from Shen Cheng back to Shi Yu.
She was sincerely complimenting how well-matched they were, but as these words left her mouth, she faintly felt that they had taken on a different flavor.
Was she jealous?
No, this definitely wasn’t jealousy.
Towards the man before her, she only had a bit of fondness, which couldn’t even be considered liking, so how could she possibly be jealous of the woman by his side?
Gu Liancheng was smiling, using the smile to mask the strangeness in her eyes, and she did it very well, without revealing any flaws.
In the moment when she cast her eyes down, she suddenly noticed the ring on Shen Cheng’s finger, causing her brows to knit together involuntarily.
She looked up and said softly, "Miss Shen, may I take a look at the ring on your hand?"
"Of course."
Shen Cheng generously extended her hand towards her.
Gu Liancheng first held her hand and then touched the ring on her finger, spending just a few seconds looking at it before letting go, turning her gaze away from the ring.
Looking at Shen Cheng, she smiled slightly: "When the Bright Star was purchased, I was wondering who could afford such a costly ring. I didn’t expect..."
Gu Liancheng didn’t continue speaking, because she knew the Bright Star alone revealed the unbreakable affection between them.
Because Shi Yu had transferred all his shares of Nan’an Chief to Shen Cheng, she had taken the time to understand the company’s current situation overnight.
Upon hearing Gu Liancheng introduce herself, she already knew her identity as the once most beautiful woman of Du City, the top designer of Nan An, and also knew that the Bright Star on her hand was designed by Gu Liancheng herself.
This easily explained why she had requested to see the ring on her hand just now.
Seeing something she had designed worn by another woman must feel somewhat stifling.
"Oh right, this is something my aunt asked me to pass on to you." Gu Liancheng suddenly remembered Ye Jin’s instructions, promptly took out a box and handed it over, smiling and saying, "She said it’s two jade pendants, for the two little treasures."
From a distance, Ye Jin, seeing Gu Liancheng’s action, realized that her attempt to get close to Shi Yu had failed, and immediately felt a bit upset.
