Chapter 29 >

"As soon as Cheng Ruoruo's voice fell, a deafening clap of thunder echoed from outside. The sky, which had been clear just moments before, suddenly unleashed a torrential downpour.Lightning flashed ac...The well-tailored suit hugged his tall frame, even in the wheelchair, he still exuded an undeniable aura of power in every gesture.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gu," the blond-haired, blue-eyed host presenting the award said excitedly, handing over the crystal trophy.

"Thank you." Gu Chi took it, his voice low, a standard American accent without a hint of an accent, "I'm honored to receive this award."

When Gu Chi borrowed the trophy, the host's eyes fell on his finger and he immediately exclaimed in a very exaggerated manner: "My God, Mr. Gu, is that a wedding ring"

The camera immediately zoomed in on Gu Chi's finger, showing the diamond-encrusted ring that Su Ke Xin had bought, which was now enlarged on the screen.

Su Keqin's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she quietly hid her finger with the identical ring behind her back.

On the screen, the host was still excited, "Mr. Gu, so you're really married! I don't know how many girls will be heartbroken. But Mr. Gu, I think this ring... It seems pretty affordable"

The host's words elicited a burst of laughter from the audience.

Su Kexin's cheeks flushed slightly.

This Gu Chi, she had said it long ago, this ring doesn't befit his status, yet he still went out wearing it.

Regarding everyone's surprise and laughter, Gu Chi remained calm as ever. He glanced down at his own fingers, a faint smile playing on his lips, "This was chosen for me by my wife. She has always been frugal."

Such a simple sentence, yet for some reason it exuded an air of pampering. Everyone present fell silent instantly.

On the other side of the world, Su Kexin in front of her computer screen also felt her heart skip a beat.

Although I kept telling myself that Gu Chi was probably just saying empty words, a certain part of me couldn't help but be moved slightly.

Even if Gu Chi's words were just a facade, he did indeed keep wearing the ring, even though it would bring him some shame.

It's just like, even if the whole world thinks it's impossible for him and himself, deep down inside, he also admits it, doesn't he

Perhaps because Gu Yichen's denial of himself was too harsh, at this time, Gu Chi's affirmation in this way, more or less, gave Su Kexin a feeling of being comforted.

"Mr. Gu, it seems you really do love your wife very much," the host said enviously at the awards ceremony.

For a man like Gu Chi, who has status and prestige, wearing such a ring is solely because of his wife's "thriftiness." This way of showing affection is simply more impressive than directly giving his wife a pigeon egg.

For the host's praise, Gu Chi just smiled without saying a word.

The awards ceremony ended soon, but those watching on computer screens were still in awe.

"Wow, this Mrs. Gu is so lucky! You know how many rich men wouldn't admit to being married, but her husband actually brought out such a cheap ring!" one female colleague exclaimed.

"Cut it out," a male colleague couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Maybe he's just cheap and refuses to buy a good one, then blames his wife for it."

"Tch, Gu Chi even wants to buy a diamond mine if he could. He wouldn't bat an eye at a ring like this!" Xiaomei scoffed. "But speaking of it, I feel like Gu Zong's ring looks awfully familiar..."

As soon as Xiaomei started speaking, someone immediately chimed in, "I agree! It seems familiar..."

Su Kexin thought inwardly, "Something's not right," and just as she was about to make a run for it, Xiaomei behind her reacted faster, clapping her hands excitedly. “Oh! I remember now, Mr. Gu’s ring and our Kexin’s sister's are the same model, aren't they”

Su Ke Xin inwardly cursed, thankfully under everyone's gaze, she retracted her already extended foot.

At this point, everyone was eager to get close. They rushed over and grabbed Su Kexin's hand, shouting excitedly.

"It's exactly the same! Totally identical, this is one model!"

"What's going on here! Ke Xin, how could your engagement ring be the same as Gu Chi's"therwise, it was just a guess."Let's take a chance, shall we"A wicked smile curled up on Gu Yichan's lips as he suggested to Lin Momo."Okay, come if you dare. I'm not afraid of you." Lin Momo retorted...
