Wen Niannan looked at the broken ring as his face turned pale. It was as if a knife stabbed through his heart. He muttered, “Why… why must the last bit of love be taken away from me too…”

“No… I’ll fix it… it can be fixed…”

Wen Niannan drove to the appropriate ring store and walked in in a hurry. Then he carefully placed the ring on the table.

“He…hello, I want this ring to be fixed.”

Hearing him, the clerk walked over and smiled politely, “Okay mister, please allow me to check it.”

“Uhm? Sir, your ring doesn’t belong to our brand?” The clerk took the ring to his eyes and asked.

Wen Niannan was a bit stunned too, “How is that possible? I remember clearly it’s your brand’s, look the case even have your logo on it, how can there be a mistake? ”

“Sir, how can our brand’s ring break so easily? The quality of this ring is so low, this is definitely not ours.  ”

“But…”

“This is indeed our brand’s model, and indeed has our brand’s logo. This model is called “Eternity” and is a limited edition where only 10 exist in the world. The pattern can be customized by the customer’s demand, but this ring here is fake. “Eternity” ring is made of very special materials, making it almost impossible to break.”

“Your ring is made of very common material, how can it be the legendary “Eternity” wedding ring? Are you sure you bought it in our store? ”

Wen Niannan listened with a pale face. There was a twitching pain in his heart.

It’s fake?

How?

Did Gu Yansheng get scammed?

But there is no way Gu Yansheng can’t tell whether the ring is real or fake. The design pattern is customized as to the buyer’s requests, and mom told me that he specially went abroad to get this, there’s no way it’s fake.

Wen Niannan suddenly thought of something, and a sudden coldness overwhelmed his body.

Or… the one on my hand is fake, and the real one is on Gu Yansheng’s hand.

Eternity… It’s called eternity… How ironic…

Wen Niannan looked at the ring that he once cherished as a treasure with bitterness in his eyes.

The ring is fake… you ordered two yet gave me the fake one… Even the ring is fake… do I not even deserve a wedding ring?

“Sir? Sir? Do you still want me to repair your ring? It should be broken by some violent crushing. Even if it’s fixed, there will be some obvious marks.”

Wen Niannan had never removed this ring from his hand before. The only crush was yesterday when Gu Yansheng ran over it with his car…

He looked at the broken ring on the table and said calmly, “Repair it, it’s best to leave marks behind, it’s best to leave marks…”

He looked at the ring mark on the ring finger of his right hand with great irony.

It turned out that the reason Gu Yansheng never took off his ring these years was not that he liked the marriage, not because it looked good, and not because he forgot to take it off.

It turned out that everything was fake from the very start. The thing he cherished the most was just a fake, and Gu Yansheng even purposefully went to make a fake ring of the same pattern.

The reason Gu Yansheng wore it all the time was just to remind himself that Wen Niannan was also a fake.

Now that he thought about it, the impatient look on his face when he was given this ring, the hatred in his eyes was so obvious, how did he not realize back then.

When Wen Niannan drove back, his hand was trembling. Until the car was parked, it still didn’t stop.

Opening the car door and looking at the bright house, it seemed like a giant cage, trapping him inside. Wen Niannan felt an urge to leave.

Aunt Lan came out with a kettle. Seeing Wen Niannan not coming in, she was a little puzzled.

“Sir, welcome back.”

Wen Niannan returned to his senses and greeted her. He walked in with emotions in his eyes.

The living room was silent. Wen Niannan looked at the empty sofa and went upstairs.

“Sir, please wait, the old lady called just now and said that Master Yuanfeng will be coming back ahead as planned. Tomorrow he’ll attend Mrs. Jiang’s banquet.”

“Mm.”

Wen Niannan walked upstairs in a daze. Just after reaching the middle of the stairs, a pair of familiar black leather shoes appeared in front of him.

He slowly looked up at the owner of the shoes. Gu Yansheng had a gloomy face on him with coldness in his eyes.

“You still dare to go out? ”

Wen Niannan loosened his hand on the handrail and subconsciously took a step back, avoiding his approach.

When Gu Yansheng saw the resistance in him, his eyes turned even sharper and took another step forward.

“You dare to take a step away from me? What, you still know to be afraid? When you brought your little lover home yesterday I don’t recall seeing you afraid?  ”

Aunt Lan was stunned after this, “Brought home? Sir, what are you talking about? Yesterday, he didn’t…”

“Shut up!”

“How do I know if he didn’t buy you guys down! This may have happened many times before and you and Uncle Xu all kept it a secret from me!  ”

Gu Yansheng has been feeling annoyed all day long, and he didn’t expect that Wen Niannan still dared to go out after being caught with Tang Shuo.

It seemed that last night when he took care of me, it must have been fake acting to gain my sympathy and so that I won’t get angry, how could he be sincere?

“And you claim that you will give your company shares back to me and stay away from me, yet in front of your mother, you pretend to be pitiful and refuse to divorce, saying that if it was all thanks to her who invested in your father. If it’s not because of these reasons, why can’t you agree to the divorce? ”

“Now that I’m in charge of Gu Corporation, and you wouldn’t get any benefit anymore, you ran to hook up with the Tang family. You also knew that Tang Shuo’s brother won’t let him see you again, so you desperately brought him home didn’t you?  ”

Looking at the man in front of him, whose face was getting paler and paler, whose tight lips made his eyes sink, there was a strange emotion in Gu Yansheng”s heart.

The strange feeling in his heart came back again, his chest was very uncomfortable, he didn’t like this feeling, it made him feel unhappy and more upset.

“Wen Niannan why do you have to be such a bitch and be with to men at once? Do you think that you can gain my sympathy just by taking care of me for a night while I’m drunk? ”

Wen Niannan raised his eyes and finally said coldly, “Tang Shuo’s innocent, it’s me who had no shame in meeting him. I didn’t want to divorce because of your money. I pretended to take care of you because I just wanted your sympathy. Are you happy now? Can I go up now?  ”

“You’re finally admitting it? Finally, confessing that you seduced Tang Shuo?  ”

Gu Yansheng glanced at the phone in Wen Niannan’s hand, then said coldly, “Give me your phone.”

“What are you doing? ”

Gu Yansheng grabbed the phone over and slammed it on the stairs, instantly shattering it.

“You don’t need it. It’s just a tool for you to contact your little lover, what other friends do you have? ”

“Oh yes, I don’t have friends, he’s the only one. Yet he needs to be threatened and be hit because of him. Now I don’t have any friends. Are you happy now? ”

Wen Niannan continued to maintain a three-step distance away from him. As he said those words, there seemed to be something flickering in his eyes.

Seeing his uninterested and lifeless look, Gu Yansheng became even more irritated.  He took a step closer.

“Happy?  Who gave you permission to bring him here? Who gave you permission to tell him the address of this house? Who gave you the permission to go out as the name of the husband of Gu Family and embarrass my family? If you want to be with him then hurry up and divorce!”

“I never embarrassed the Gu Family before, I’m not admitting something I never did.”

“And you dare to talk back? ”

Gu Yansheng reached out his hand to grab Wen Niannan’s hair. Wen Niannan subconsciously took a step back but forgot that he was on the stairs. He missed the step and fell back.

“Ahhh…”

Wen Niannan subconsciously grabbed Gu Yansheng’s clothes. But Gu Yansheng also lost his balance from his pull and both of them fell down the stairs.

“Oh no, sir, are you alright? ”

When Wen Niannan fell, he, fortunately, landed on the carpet, so wasn’t injured badly.

“I’m okay… there’s the carpet.”

Wen Niannan turned around and looked at the man behind him. But when he wanted to say something, he noticed the watch on Gu Yansheng’s wrist.

Gu Yansheng pushed him away, stood up, and said coldly, “Who gave you permission to dodge? You let Tang Shuo hug you yet don’t let me touch you? Stop your hypocritical acting!”

“I don’t want you to touch me, nor do I want to be with you.”

Perhaps it was because of the ring, anger continuously rose up in his heart. He felt quite ironic seeing him wear the watch that he gave.

For the anniversary, he gifted him his sincere and carefully prepared gift, yet him?  Even the wedding ring he gave was fake.

Seeing them about to fight again, and this time Wen Niannan not showing any signs of backing down, Aunt Lan couldn’t help but be worried.

But suddenly, the sound of a car coming from outside was heard. Knowing that the savior might be here, she quickly walked to the door and shouted, “Old lady, Master Yuanfeng, welcome back!”

Hearing what Aunt Lan said, Gu Yansheng sneered coldly, then walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Wen Niannan stood by the stairs and didn’t move. His left hand gently stroked the ring on his hand.

Zhou Yuanfeng and Lu Yun came in one after another. The second they came, they could feel the tense feeling in the atmosphere.

Lu Yun glanced at Wen Niannan’s eyes then smiled, “Nian Nian, come here, I have something to tell you.”

Wen Niannan walked to the sofa and sat down in the corner-most position. Lu Yun glared at Gu Yansheng, then said, “We have already secured the project with Mr. Jiang. In the future, our cooperation will allow the Gu Corp to grow even more. Thank you very much for what you’ve done.”

“Tomorrow is Mrs. Jiang’s birthday, he gave me the invitations. Tomorrow you will go with Nian Nian, Mr. Jiang will introduce you to the banquet.”

“Bring him? Wen Niannan’s not even a member of the family, why would I bring him? I can bring Yuanfeng.  ”

“Shut up!”

“I still haven’t made you pay yet for bringing Shen Luoan there! What kind of person is he? How dare you bring him out and embarrass our family. This time at Mrs. Jiang’s banquet, everyone who’s attending will be bringing their lover. You’re already married, who else will you bring if it’s not Wen Niannan?  ”

“Lover? He doesn’t deserve that word! I’ve never seen him as my lover!”
