Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Let’s Get Married (26) Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Let’s Get Married (26) Lu Wanwan nodded, recalling the complex relationship Bai Lingyun mentioned last time, his coming to see grandma wasn’t unexpected.
“Why did he come here?” Gu Annan, with his hands in his pockets, just walked down the stairs and heard.
“To visit grandma,” Lu Wanwan casually replied.
He didn’t speak, only his eyebrows tightened slightly.
He certainly knew Bai Lingyun came to see Mrs. Ye, but since when had Bai’s and Lu Wanwan’s relationship progressed to this point?
“Mr. Gu,” Zhao Chen coughed lightly on the side.
He just wanted to remind Mr. Gu not to be so obviously jealous at times , especially when Miss Lu wasn’t in the mood to notice.
Little did he know his goodwill would only earn him a roll of the eyes from the BOSS.
“Mr. Gu, this email requires your review,” said Zhao Chen. He’d actually come over for work reasons, and this was a good excuse to pull Mr. Gu aside a bit, to avoid an awkward scene.
“It’s alright, it can wait,” Gu Annan stood next to Lu Wanwan, showing no intention of leaving.
His cool gaze fixed on the man entering through the door.
From a few previous ‘accidental’ interactions, he had keenly sensed a possible hint of ‘ill intent’ in Bai Lingyun.
Bai Lingyun was not one to meddle in other people’s business, so his meddling behavior always set off alarms for Gu Annan.
Lu Wanwan, the fool, was utterly oblivious.
“Young Master Gu.” Bai Lingyun walked in, his face rarely without a smile.
His gaze shifted from Lu Wanwan to Gu Annan and nodded.
Gu Annan glared coldly at him and didn’t say a word, their eyes exchanging a greeting.
Though the two were cousins, they had never been close.
Bai Lingyun and his mother grew up in Canada and had few close dealings with them for many years.
“I really didn’t expect it,” Bai Lingyun looked at Mrs. Ye’s black and white photo. “The last time I saw Mrs. Ye, I thought I would visit her again when she had recovered.”
He looked for a moment, then took out the same jewelry box from last time, handing it to Lu Wanwan.
Gu Annan’s brows furrowed a bit tighter, his gaze following the movement to the jewelry box.
Even Zhao Chen’s heart clenched.
President Bai had better not do anything rash.
This kind of open provocation was no joking matter.
Lu Wanwan took it and opened the jewelry box, looking at the ring inside.
“My mother, upon hearing about what happened, still insisted I bring this ring here. She knows Mrs. Ye’s wishes, Mrs. Ye understood the reason she kept the ring and silently consented for her to keep it. However, since it fundamentally belongs to the Ye Family and is something very important to Mrs. Ye, my mother insisted on returning it. I think this time Mrs. Ye would want to keep it,” said Bai Lingyun.
Listening to the explanation, the sharpness in Gu Annan’s eyes eased a bit.
The breath Zhao Chen was holding finally relaxed…
“Thank you,” said Lu Wanwan as she accepted it.
This ring, she had seen it before in old photos; it was the one her grandmother wore when she got married.
Since Aunt Gu insisted on returning it, let the ring stay with grandma forever.
Bai Lingyun didn’t linger at the Ye Mansion, but as he prepared to leave, he saw someone outside the gate.
“It’s really you,” Bai Lingyun saw that woman.
He hadn’t been mistaken that day at the hospital.
Although he had only seen this woman once before, he would never forget her.
