After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 262 - 186: Where’s the Ring? (2)

In the largest hall of the art gallery, the air was filled with the mingling scents of perfume and the shimmer of elegant hairstyles, with glasses clinking repeatedly.

Ning Youguang held onto Shi Wangyue’s arm, sweeping her gaze across the room, it was all influential figures and a gathering of wealthy individuals.

Among them, men and women dressed in suits and evening gowns looked strikingly radiant, even the servers weaving through the crowd were clad in brand-new, crisp uniforms.

The hall was bustling with a lively scene.

As the company sponsoring tonight’s banquet, "MM Investment Fund" undoubtedly held the role of the host.

As soon as the two appeared in the banquet hall, they immediately drew the attention of countless people present.

In the eyes of everyone there, they saw the two who had just entered, one with a refined and noble appearance like a young noble, with deep, bottomless black eyes. He did not even need to do anything, just standing there quietly was enough to capture everyone’s attention.

The other, though with an unfamiliar face, possessed exquisite and unparalleled features, her skin as white as to glow, with a graceful and unparalleled figure, dressed in a black evening gown, her demeanor was noble and elegant, stunningly beautiful.

Who wouldn’t want to take another look at such two exceptionally attractive people?

What’s more, many attending the banquet had done their homework, and they had already seen the photos of the bigwig from "MM Investment Fund" through some private channels.

Such a young and extraordinary person, with such outstanding looks and demeanor, it was hard not to remember them.

Even though domestically they were not very familiar with him, who in the financial circle didn’t know who Shi Wangyue was?

People in this industry, even during their regular drinking and bragging sessions, liked to say they had seen this bigwig at some occasion in the United States—

［That one is a genius, displaying talent as soon as he entered the industry.］

Then they’d talk about some details to show off their connection with Shi Wangyue.

But now that this bigwig was really standing in front of them, many were so constrained they couldn’t even muster the courage to speak to him.

Only Jin Assistant and Ze Wu first made their way through the crowd to join them.

"You finally made it."

Ze Wu had also dressed up exquisitely and gracefully tonight, appearing with extraordinary poise.

But his speech was still a bit offbeat, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, Brother Ze Wu." Ning Youguang’s lips curved into a flawlessly beautiful smile.

Whether it was due to being in such a setting or not, everyone around felt that she exhibited outstanding manners, making her every move not only a pleasure to look at but also elegant and noble.

"How are the arrivals of the guests?" Shi Wangyue quietly asked Jin Assistant.

"Almost everyone is here." Jin Assistant, with eyes and ears alert, replied.

He was present tonight not just for socializing, but more importantly, for work.

Even though he was dressed impeccably, indistinguishable from the guests attending the banquet.

"We should keep a close watch on those few people we mentioned to focus on earlier." Shi Wangyue continued to instruct.

"I’ve sent messages out." Jin Assistant replied.

Meanwhile, Ze Wu was still chatting with Ning Youguang.

"Nice bracelet." He lightly swirled the red wine in his glass, his gaze landing on her fair wrist.

Ning Youguang raised her hand, looking at the sapphire bracelet on her wrist, and chuckled softly, "Thank you, this bracelet was a gift from Wangyue."

Ze Wu nodded, "I know."

He took a look at Shi Wangyue, who was seriously giving work instructions to Jin Assistant, "It was a Christmas gift he gave you a few years ago, right?"

Ning Youguang was a bit surprised he knew, "Yes."

Ze Wu glanced at her hand, continuing to ask, "Wasn’t there also a ring? Why aren’t you wearing it?"

Ning Youguang was a bit at a loss, "What ring? He didn’t give me a ring."

This time it was Ze Wu who was surprised.

He was very puzzled, "No ring? There should have been a ring."

He didn’t think he could have remembered wrong.

So, he turned to ask Shi Wangyue, "Zero, when you bought this bracelet for your sister-in-law, didn’t you first notice a sapphire ring? They are a set, right? I wasn’t wrong, was I?"

Shi Wangyue, feeling a moment of panic, said, "Hmm."

Immediately after, he quickly lowered his head and drank his wine.

That evasive attitude seemed suspicious.

The other three present were all curiously watching him.

In this situation, Ze Wu couldn’t let it go, "Then where’s the ring? You didn’t give it to Miss Ning, where did it go?"

It couldn’t have been given to some other girl, could it?!

He found it hard to understand.

Jin Assistant just maintained a purely watching attitude.

Ning Youguang—her heartbeat a little faster than before.

Shi Wangyue pressed his lips together, swallowing the wine in his throat, quickly glanced at the person beside him, and said slowly: "It’s with me, I haven’t given it out yet."

He lowered his eyes slightly—

It was in the United States, the first time he traveled with Ze Wu.

During the trip, Ze Wu dragged him to an auction house.

Ze Wu, due to various business and emotional needs, often needed to prepare some jewelry to buy people over.

He usually didn’t care much for these things, but that day, watching Ze Wu buy with enthusiasm, he also fancied a sapphire ring.

At first glance at the ring, he felt it particularly suited Youyou, and wanted to buy it for her.

Why was it among countless treasures that he took a liking to that sapphire ring?

Shi Wangyue thought silently: [It was because in my heart, the ring is a sacred symbol, like love, like marriage, like loyalty.]

At the time, Ze Wu asked him: "Who are you buying this ring for?"

He said, "A friend."

Ze Wu laughed at him, "Who gives a ring as a gift to a friend?"

But at the time, even knowing it was inappropriate, he still bought the ring.

Because he knew, being in love meant giving rings, wishing for eternity, wanting to marry, wanting to have a little baby.

In the end, he had to settle for sending out the bracelet from the set first. 1314
