She thought that, as a final gift to him, she could at least give him a child, to be with him and be there for him in her place. But now, even that little light of hope has been snuffed out. She came out of the hospital, feeling empty, and lost. She doesn't want to go back to the villa, the villa without Gu Zechuan. It's cold there.
But where else could she go back to, if not there?-
In the luxurious and spacious villa, there was only Xia He. Alone. Today was her birthday, but it was devoid of people. Before, no one other than her grandfather cared for her, and now that even he had since passed away, and now she was truly a lone entity in this world.
But Xia He's heart remained positive. Even if no one in the world would love her, she would still love herself! It would not do if she let the world get her down, not today, not on her birthday! Just for today, Xia He had decided that she would be going shopping. She will shop and shop and shop until there is nothing left to buy!
Xia He had decided to buy a ring for herself. When she and Gu Zechuan married, he didn’t prepare a ring for her. Looking at her ring finger on her left hand, still empty without a ring, Xia He felt the coldness and the irony stronger than ever this day, on her birthday.
When Xia He began to look intently at the rings, she heard the store clerk exclaim excitedly.
"Mr. Gu! Ms. Yang!"
Mr. Gu? Startlement struck Xia He. In this entire city, is there another Mr. Gu that would excite store clerks so? No. This could be no one other than Gu Zechuan himself.
"Mr. Gu, this selection here is our True Love series. As per our store policy, each gentleman may be permitted to place exactly one order for one ring from it. It represents love eternal, ever enduring, and never ending. Might you be interested in taking a look?" The store clerk spoke to Gu Zechuan with forced calmness, trying very hard to hold back on their excitements.
The most fundamental skill of a store clerk, especially those who caters to high classed customers, is the ability to observe. Standing closely beside Gu Zechuan, was a woman of stunning beauty and grace, slender and tall and almost appearing to glow with an otherworldly glow. Together with Gu Zechuan, the two stood side by side as if they were made for each other. Really, the store clerk really couldn't be blamed for assuming that it was Mrs. Gu standing beside Mr. Gu.
