Chapter 341 Entourage
Jiang Yue stayed at the bathtub for less than twenty minutes yet, she felt as though she had been there for decades. Of course, she also felt a little lighter and relaxed than she was a while ago.
She wrapped the robe around her body and went out of the bathroom only to see Fu Jin sitting on the couch, holding a glass of wine while staring at the fireplace.
"Feeling better?" he asked the moment Jiang Yue took a seat next to him.
"Hmmm..." she nodded before easily slipping into Fu Jin’s lap. Then Jiang Yue buried her head into his neck like a child missing the warmth of her mother. "Thank you," she whispered.
She let out another sigh when she felt Fu Jin stroke her back gently. "I’m always here for you," he said softly. "No matter what kind of truth awaits us. I am always here for you. That’s a promise."
Jiang Yue smiled at her husband’s words. Deep inside she always knew that Fu Jin would stay with her. No matter what dark truth awaits for them to discover, she knows that her husband would always be hers.
"What do you think of this ring?" Jiang Yue asked before lifting Fu Jin’s hands watching the ring reflect the light from the fireplace.
"I examined it carefully earlier and I realize that this ring had a pair."
"Like a wedding ring?" she asked.
"I’m thinking of two rings that can be connected into one," he answered before taking off the ring from his fingers and showing it to Jiang Yue.
True to his words, the ring indeed had a tiny indention. Like it was purposely cut to have another ring fit into it.
Jiang Yue examined the ring carefully and the insignia that was carefully crafted inside the ring. It looked like a rose with a hammer. Then there was a letter J next to it.
"Rose and Hammer. What a weird combination. I wonder what it meant." she thought out loud.
"I have no idea what it meant but I am planning to have my people ask in the black market." Fu Jin said.
"This ring is so beautiful. Like... it was something that would fit a royalty."
"I agree. Mysterious and beautiful. Just like you and your background." Fu Jin said while chuckling. "Maybe I should just hide you from the world. So no one would try and take advantage of your brilliance, no?"
Jiang Yue beamed at Fu Jin’s words. She knows that Fu Jin was trying to divert the attention to make her feel better. And he succeeded. "What about you and your entourage of annoying flies?"
"Entourage?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Well... you seemed to attract flies all the time. Maybe you should wear a mask?"
"Hmmm... Why don’t we just run away together after all this? Let’s stay on your island. And live the rest of our lives..."
"What island?" she interrupted, instantly making Fu Jin swallow the rest of his words. If he could only smack his face right now, he would have. He had forgotten that Jiang Yue was still not aware of the island that he named after her.
"It was supposed to be a wedding surprise," he said. "For our big wedding." he clarified. "I bought it before we met and named it after you."
Jiang Yue’s eyes sparkled at the thought of Fu Jin buying an island for her before they even met. Was he this confident that she will marry him?
Sensing her thoughts Fu Jin smirked at her. "Of course, I know you will fall for me. I am handsome, smart, rich and I love you. I am everything that you want." he said, his chin raised, eyes full of mirth.
"Right," she said before giggling. He is indeed everything that she ever wanted.
