He Broke Me to My Lover's Music, Now the CEO Chases Me novel · Chapter 24 of 24
Chapter 24: 3:12
A year later, on a Sunday morning in April, Qin Yuheng stole the ring.
Mingzhou noticed because the box was gone from the piano lid.
He stood in the doorway of the music room in his dressing gown.
He held a cup of tea, and his hair stuck up.
He looked at the empty spot between the white flowers and the metronome.
The ring box had been there since Friday.
It held the second half of a pair, plain silver, with a tiny treble clef engraved inside the band.
Yuheng had put the first one on Mingzhou's finger in front of the old woman at the noodle stall.
He had said the second was for himself, when somebody told him he was allowed to wear it.
Now it was gone.
"Yuheng," Mingzhou said.
Nobody answered.
The villa was very quiet.
A breeze moved the curtains by the glass wall, and out on the lawn someone was laying a long table with white cloth.
"Yuheng-ge."
A floorboard creaked somewhere above.
Mingzhou set down his tea.
In the seventh month Mingzhou had noticed that his anger was gone.
He had told Yuheng that night, on the stairs.
Yuheng had sat down on the step and put his head in his hands.
Fang Jinyan was serving three years, and Yuheng had refused the chair the board offered him back.
He ran the port division from a smaller office with a window, and he left at five.
