A Long Way to Marriage: Ruan Shao's Replacement New Wife

Chapter 251 Broken Passion (5)

West Elm was tangled between Jessia's snorkeling and Ruan Peichen's movie for half a minute, and immediately took out her mobile phone to send a message to Jessia and the coach that she would ask for leave today.

Jessia was afraid she hadn't woken up yet, so she didn't reply to her message.

Xielm was overjoyed, and immediately got out of bed to choose clothes. After she carefully put on her makeup, changed into clothes and high heels and was about to go downstairs, she couldn't help but stop.

Did she dress up too grandly, not like going to a movie for dinner, but rather to a banquet...

Moreover, West Elm turned around and walked to the mirror to look at her face. The makeup was so exquisite, Ruan Peichen must have noticed it... how much did she care about his invitation?

West Elm sighed again, then changed into a dress with a plain color but a fairly simple and elegant style, and then re-painted a light makeup before going downstairs.

Ruan Peichen was sitting at the dining table watching the news, when he saw West Elm coming down, his slightly cold eyes lit up slightly.

"You look... very nice, but something is missing."

As Ruan Peichen said, he brushed shoulders with Xiyu and went to his study, then took out a black brocade box from the study, opened it and handed it to Xiyu.

Inside is a set of pearl jewelry.

A set of necklace and earrings, the faint golden luster looks really gratifying.

"This is for me?"

West Elm stared blankly at the pearl jewelry in front of him, feeling a little dazed.

Ruan Peichen lowered his eyes, his slender black eyelashes covered the emotion in his eyes, only his deep and cold voice fell on Xielm's ear.

"I brought these back when I was on a business trip before, and they were originally meant to be given to Dongsang... Now, I think they are also very suitable for you."

After Ruan Peichen finished speaking, he picked out the necklace from the box, bowed his head and put the pearl necklace on Xielm's neck with his own hands.

The pearl was slightly cold, and the moment it touched Xi Elm's skin, Xi Elm couldn't help but tremble.

After putting on the necklace for Xielm, Ruan Peichen put the pearl earrings on Xielm's ears himself, with gentle and caring movements, just like a husband who loves each other.

But Xielm couldn't help reaching out to touch the necklace on his chest, but he couldn't feel happy anymore.

What is she doing?

Because of the momentary liking and greed, he completely forgot about the existence of Dongsang, and forgot that the tenderness of Ruan Peichen he got now should actually belong to Dongsang.

The pearls on the fingertips were smooth, but very hard. When Xi Yu pinched her fingertips hard, she felt pain in her fingertips.

The pain woke her up.

"Since it's for my sister, I don't want to wear it... Actually, I don't like wearing necklaces. I always feel that there is a rope wrapped around my neck. If I am not careful, I will be entangled in this rope and I can't breathe."

West Elm lowered his head and said, then reached out and untied the necklace and earrings himself.

Ruan Peichen watched from the side, his eyes suddenly turned cold, Xiyu looked up at him, only to see a face with a sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.

Ruan Peichen turned and went upstairs without saying a word.

The fire in West Elm's heart slowly went out, she thought that today's leave was probably for nothing.

With an uninterested person like her around, Ruan Peichen probably wouldn't be in the mood to continue watching movies.

Slowly closing the brocade box, Xi Elm turned her head, and suddenly saw an iris flower lying on the bottom step of the stairs, which seemed to have been accidentally left there.

West Elm walked over and carefully picked up the flowers.

"The dissociated and broken passion in fate, the beautiful and fragile, perishable existence...It's also very similar to me, right?"

The flower language of iris is also sad to listen to.

Looking at the flower, West Elm smiled self-deprecatingly and bitterly.

She didn't know whether the beautiful passion that Ruan Peichen gave her at this moment was also easy to pass away, whether it was too fragile to be vulnerable...

And the day Dongsang came back was when this passion was shattered and the beauty withered.
