Chapter 303 The Ring

He reached out to take the box from the other person's hand and Huangfu Jue gently flipped open the lid.

On the golden velvet, a ring lay quietly.

The black metal band was carved with exquisite patterns, and on it was set a fiery red diamond, forming the shape of a blooming flower.

At first glance, it looked like a flame burning in the night, but upon closer examination, one would see that it was not a flame, but a blooming red spider lily—just like the one he saw on her back their first night together.

He took out the ring and carefully ran his fingers over the band, inspecting the diamonds set into it, making sure each one was crafted according to his specifications, that every diamond's cut was so flawless it could provoke no criticism… The whole ring was extremely smooth, inside and out, with no rough edges that could scratch or catch on her finger, satisfying him enough to nod in approval.

"Very good," he said.
