Chapter 288: A Dream That Would Never Come True
Leigh grins, “Louis, you misheard it. I hadn’t said that, I swear!”
The emcee rewards the ‘love’ couple rings to Ste and Daniel who have won the first ce.
Nevertheless, Ste is apparently not interested in it at all. She hands it to Lily, “I have a ring. You take
this.”
“No, thanks, I’m not in a hurry.” Lily waves her hand. She’s wearing a ring on her hand. Even if it is
used for protecting herself, it was presented by Louis. So this is enough. “Give them to Leigh and
Jessie,” says Lily.
Leigh puts his arm around Jessie’s shoulders and grins, “Thanks. But I customized a ring for Little Fairy
back then. By the way, this brand is not up to my standards. You guys keep them.”
“You really have a sharp tone.” Lily doesn’t know how to respond.
Louis and Daniel look at each other, their eyes turning gloomy.
Louis asks Leigh, “You bought diamond ring?”
“Yeah, the customized ring of Van Cleef & Arpels.” Leigh sayscently and pulls Jessie hand,
trying to show them the diamond ring. But he then finds that there’s nothing on her hand.
“Honey, where’s the ring? Why don’t you wear it?”
A light shes across Jessie’s eyes. She puckers up her lips, “It’s so big. What if someone with bad
intentions notices it if I wears it? It’s in my bag. I only wear it at home.”
“Little Fairy, you’re really good at saving money for me.” Leigh gives her a passionate kiss and adds, as
if he’s not bothered by whether if the ring would be stolen, “The ring is bound to be worn on hand. If it’s
lost, I will buy the other one for you. Your fiancée, me, is not in short of money.”
“There’re many people here. Don’t kiss me.” Jessie feels embarrassed of his shameless deed and
pushes his head away.
A smile creeps on Louis’ face when he hears Leigh’s words, “Leigh, it’s rare to see you treating a
rtionship seriously. You two even engaged.”
“Of course.” Leigh raises his eyebrow, “Maybe we’ll suddenlye to get the marriage certificate one
day.”
Louis turns to look at Daniel. Daniel nods, the coldness on his face bing more apparent, but he
doesn’t say anything.
“Now that Leigh is so rich and even bought Jessie the customized Van Cleef & Arpels,” Ste smiles,
hands the ring box to Lily and continues, “Lily, Louis, I can only give them to you.”
Before Lily can reply, Louis reaches out to take it and then opens the box.
There’s a pair of delicate 18K gold rings in the box.
“Not bad. They look good.” Louis praises heartedly. It’s rare for an organizer like this ball room to give
such an expensive reward.
He picks up the ring for thedy and puts it on Lily’s hand.
“Wait.” His action is so quick that she has no time to stop her. The ring is appropriately put around her
middle finder.
Louis pushes the ring box to her, “Mrs. Smith, please help me put it on.”
“Don’t mess up.”
As their friends are around them, Lily blushes when hearing him addressing her ‘Mrs. Smith’.
“Lily, you look reluctant. Is it because this engagement ceremony is too simple?” Leigh smirks, “You
despise this pair of ring because they are free? And you think Louis doesn’t value you much?”
Lily replies helplessly, “I didn’t mean it.”
“Then put it on Louis’ hand. Look, he’s waiting eagerly and pitifully.” Leigh urges and then calls the
violinist toe over.
Leigh says, “y the song ‘I Do’ for them. I’ll give you 100,000ter.”
The violinist immediately puts the violin on the shoulder.
The gentle and lively rhythms that carrying the emotions of love rumble in the ball room, Leigh, Jessie,
Daniel and Ste all chant, “Put the ring on his hand. Put the ring.”
Lily blushed slightly and feels awkward. She nces at Louis with begging in her eyes, hoping him to
stop them.
Louis chuckles and reaches out his left hand.
Other guests alsoe over and apud. It looks lively.
After one minute, Lily finally can’t bear it. She picks up the ring for gentlemen from the ring box, her
fingers trembling.
Louis smiles, “Is your hand okay?”
“It’s out of control. It’s trembling.” Lily feels awkward. She raises her left hand, gives a hard p on the
left hand, and then holds up Louis’ hand and slowly pushes the ring onto his finger.
But she pauses when it is half done.
“What’s wrong?” Louis looks at her gloomily, “Do you regret it?”
“No. I have a question.” Lily coughs and then asks in a serious tone, “Mr. Smith, are you willing to let
me take care of you and wear the ring on your hand?”
“Wow, Lily, awesome!” Leigh shouts exaggeratedly, “With your savings, you can’t even buy a vi. Now
you want to support Louis’ life?”
Daniel gives him a kick, his face cold, “Shut up.”
“I’m curious…”
“Shut up!” Daniel gives him another kick.
Leigh wears an aggrieved look and turns to Jessie forfort, but Jessie rolls her eyes at him.
Having not receiving Louis’ reply, Lily urges, “Yes or No?”
“Looks like Mrs. Smith wants not only me, but also my properties.” Louis chuckles, “How could I not
give Mrs. Smith a chance since you’ve made such a great determination.”
Lily asks, “So your answer is YES?”
“Yes.”
Lily then pushes the ring onto his ring finger.
She feels warm andfortable at the moment, as if the clouds in her heart have dissipated and she
can finally see the sun.
There have been too many changes in their rtionship from their first meeting, to their scrupulous
approach and to the mutual feelings for each other.
They quarreled for some matters, and both felt heartbroken because the other party’s words and
actions. But when they cleared that up, they were on good terms again. Then they finally confessed
their affections for each other.
Lily looks into Louis’ deep-set eyes.
She smiles at him and tiptoes to pull down his head to kiss him affectionately under the cheers of the
onlookers.
‘When we first met, I had never imagined that I would be so into you one day.”
The ball room is quite lively. In a corner where there’s no illumination, a skinny and slender figure hides
behind a pir and fixates his blue eyes on the couple that is surrounded by the crowd.
There is passionate love in his eyes, as well as a trace of despair.
Seeing the couple hugging and kissing each other, his heart thumps in pain, as if a hammer is
smashing his heart. It hurts so much that he feels breathless. He clenches the clothes on his chest
tightly.
It would be so good if he could dig his heart out.
Then he will not have to suffer the pain.
Jessie turns her head and sees John who hides behind the pir. His eyes are gloomy and he looks so
upset. She opens her mouth, trying to say something.
John puts his middle finger on his lips and shakes his head.
Several secondster, Jessie shifts her gaze.
John coughs violently. Fearing that others would hear it, he hastily produces a handkerchief from his
pocket and covers his mouth.
Suddenly, he feels the sweetness from his throat. The handkerchief is soaked in blood when he
removes it.
He leans against the pir to have a rest. After a long while, he raises his head to look at the woman
with a light smile on her face.

Her skin looks fairer in the ckish green dress. She’s so charming and pretty.
He had a hunch that a ckish green dress must befit her well. So he learned from several designers
before designing this court style dress and picked up clothes in person before tailoring the dress and
presenting it to her.
Even if she chooses the other man in the end, he feels satisfied seeing her wearing the dress he
tailored behind her back.
John mumbles, “Seems like I can’t realize my dream.”
He is longing to hold up her hand, introduce her to the whole worlds, confess his feelings for her, and
then kiss her.
He has paid a lot. But he will never be able to realize this dream.
He’s really reluctant to ept this!
