"What did you say?!" There was a thump in my chest, and I asked.

At this time, there was a knock on the door at the right time, and both of them were startled.

"Miss Ruori, the young master ordered us to send the ring." Humane outside the door.

Ye Ningchen and I glanced at each other, and I guess he also understood that this was Zoxi's reminder, and he was reminding us that the conversation was too long, and it was time to stop.

There was nothing to hide, and there was no need to hide, so I immediately responded, "Come in." ”

Before opening the door, Ye Ningchen's low words quickly passed in my ears, "If Miss wants to meet that person, she needs to enter the London branch of the Funckmings family business, which is a person who is very close to you...... The man's purpose in killing Bella was not as simple as it seemed......"

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened.

A man in a black suit walked in, his gaze swept over Ye Ningchen slightly, with some imperceptible scrutiny, and then nodded respectfully to me, "Miss Liuori, a few rings specially customized by Young Master Zuoxi have just been delivered, please pick one you like." ”

"Hmm." I answered and turned to Ye Ningchen, "Let's go back first." ”

"Yes." He nodded, turned and walked out.

I looked at the man, "Please let them in." ”

The man bowed slightly, his gaze struck the door, and then a well-dressed young woman walked gracefully through the door, followed by seven young girls, each holding a palm-sized blue velvet box.

The young woman smiled politely and professionally, "Hello Miss Ruori, I'm Cherry, and I'm in charge of preparing the dresses and jewelry accessories for the engagement ceremony between Master Zoshi and you. ”

"Hello." I nodded.

"Allow me to introduce you," Cherry smiled in a moderate arc, and Cherry gently raised her right hand to signal the seven girls who were already standing there. "This time, Master Zoxi invited three world-renowned jewelry designers to create these seven unique top-notch diamond rings...... As she explained, the ring boxes were opened.

When I looked up, the precious stones of different colors were reflected in different shades of luster against the backdrop of diamonds and platinum, and they were truly brilliant and dazzling. You don't need to look closely to know that each of them, from the selection of materials to the craftsmanship, from the style to the purity of the gemstones, is determined to be an unparalleled boutique.

From left to right, Cherry begins by saying, "This diamond ring is called 'Cherish', which means eternal cherishment, and it is set with a diamond of the best grade from South Africa. Extremely pure with a subtle light purple hue, it has nearly 100 flawless facets that give it a detailed and realistic flower shape......"

My eyes were attracted by a touch of blue luster, the deep sea-like hue, quiet and elegant, which made me lose my attention for a moment, and I couldn't help but ask: "......What is this?"

Cherry reacted quickly. "This diamond ring is set with Kashmir sapphires, which are pure, rich and faintly purple blue because of their pure color. This color is very similar to the national flower of Germany, the cornflower, so it is also known as the 'cornflower sapphire', which is known as the best of sapphires, with superb cutting technology......"

Cornflower sapphire.

His chest was suffocated, and his heart seemed to be flooded with memories.

"Do you like the sea I gave you?"

"It's ...... Cornflower? Andersen said, 'Far away from the sea.' Like the petals of a dark cornflower. ’”

……

"What color am I in your eyes?"

"If you have to choose, it's ocean blue."

“…… That happens to be my answer as well. In my heart, you are also sea blue. ”

……

I gazed in fascination at the dreamlike ethereal cornflower blue, faintly hearing Cherry's voice come intermittently. “…… This cornflower sapphire ring is named 'Memory', and memories stay forever ......"

Memory。

How charming the cornflower blue, the shimmering and fine refraction permeates the ocean blue hue, making it even more psychedelic, just like an obsessive and unforgettable memory in the heart, always associated with beauty, amazing, and endless.

I looked at it, and a gentle smile gradually spread between my lips that I hadn't felt in a long time, "This is it." ”

Cherry was obviously stunned, as if she didn't expect me to make a decision so quickly, and didn't even give other valuable gems even a second glance, but how could Zoxi's subordinates not have professionalism, she smiled politely, and the praise did not make people feel the slightest flattery, "Miss Ruori's vision is really good, this cornflower blue is very suitable for Miss's temperament." ”

"Really?" I couldn't help but smile, and I asked softly, once upon a time, I would have been delighted by such an unfathomable compliment.

You said that in your heart, I am also ocean blue, so do you also think that I can match your beloved cornflower blue?

Looking at my gradually deeper smile, Cherry was stunned for a moment, "Miss, you...... How you laughed...... It's beautiful. ”

I looked at her, but I didn't answer.

Even the standard smile that is designed with a good curvature, no matter how delicate it is, will not look good, and a really good-looking smile must be related to emotion, from the heart, so charming.

At night, I sat by the window, uneasy to beat the piano and play some out of tune.

It's been a lot of quiet lately, and the news media are eerily quiet, as if nothing had happened -- and that's the only source of information I've ever had.

People are really strange, obviously very worried about something happening, but when it hasn't happened for a long time, their hearts are even more uneasy.

Just like now, I am obviously worried that the two major consortia of Si and Furcmings will really fight, and the turmoil will overturn and burst out in an instant, but when the outside world is calm and the lake is silent, it is even more difficult to be at peace in my heart.

In addition to the difficulty of peace, there may be ...... A faint sense of loss.

The fingertips suddenly accelerated, the melody went out of tune, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zosi appearing in the doorway.

I pretended not to see me, but still played coherently, and he was silent, just standing by the door and staring at me without emotion, and where his gaze landed, there was a vague complexity.

I don't speak, and it's best if he keeps quiet.

"You're in a bad mood." Helplessly, the distant voice still came, and the doubt was full of affirmation.

Ask while knowing the answer. I didn't look up yet, and said indifferently, "I want to see Nik." ”

"Not yet."

Predictable. I pulled the corners of my mouth coldly, the tune swirled, and I turned to say, "I want to work in the family business." ”

He was surprised, "You mean...... So, what about Linmeng Group? ”

"I will hand it over to Ye Ningchen to manage, I am very relieved of his ability."

Still surprised, he said: "I thought that you would not want to enter the family business, and would prefer to stay in Lin Meng." ”

Of course not, if not for any other purpose, I'd rather stay away from everything you have control over, let alone work under you.

I smirked sarcastically, "Isn't it good to stay under your nose?" Save yourself the trouble of secretly sending someone to watch over me, I can be monitored by you openly, saving you a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

His eyebrows furrowed, and his tone finally fluctuated, "Don't you really understand?" I won't forcibly interfere in your private affairs, it's impossible for you not to see it, from last night to now, there is no eyeliner where you appeared, and no one stopped you when you went out, even if you go to Lin Meng, I will definitely reserve a private space for you, and I will never spy on you. ”

You're going to change your old confinement to me, isn't it because you have a handle in your hand?

Even if you don't spy on me, how dare I do anything to anger you and make you pay Nik tenfold?

Zosi, I know your ruthlessness too well, how dare I touch your scales.

The tempo is extremely fast, and the melody changes high and low.

suddenly found that over the years, his ability to hide his emotions has really been practiced very well, and he is not shocked, happy and angry, but reflects all his emotions in the song.

Qu reveals people's hearts, Shang Xinyu said. Honestly, only the emotions exposed in the music cannot be hidden.

When the syllables intertwined, Zosi had already entered my room, and he picked up the blue velvet box I had placed on the table, and opened it, and the sapphires in the box reflected a shallow beam of light, showing more and more pure and charming colors like the deep sea, and he was even more attracted to him for a moment.

"Kashmir Sapphire ......," he whispered to himself, "it's beautiful, but I thought you'd choose the flower-shaped South African diamond 'Cherish'......"

He was right, that a diamond as noble as a crown was indeed in line with my taste, but now I was so obsessed with that sea blue that I couldn't suppress it.

I casually responded, "It's beautiful." ”

"It's beautiful, it's fascinating......" He measured the ring with a slightly inquiring and sharp gaze, and his gaze suddenly froze on the faint dark lines on the inside of the ring box, and he whispered: "Memory......"

His long narrow eyes narrowed, and I could clearly see the cold beams of light in his pale eyes.

Immediately, the fingertips holding the box added some strength, and some turned white, but he didn't say a word, from beginning to end.

I looked at him quietly, he must have guessed the meaning behind the name of the ring, but I didn't explain anything, it would be better if he could understand it.

After a long time, the halo under the wall lamp was already cold, and he snapped and closed the ring box, and his tone was as cold as the rain in late autumn: "The matter of entering the company, wait until the engagement is over, and prepare for the engagement ceremony in the next two days." ”

Pressing the blue velvet box on the table, he turned, his back without a trace of streamer. (To be continued......)
