When A Snail Falls In Love

Chapter 59.2

The night was becoming deeper, the sky looked like a sheet covered with dark ink. The undulating contours of the distant mountains stood out in sharp relief against the horizon and it looked like a huge black beast. The city lights were like dots in the background, cold and quiet.

Ji Bai stood in the corridor, leaning on the railing. After a while, he felt a familiar soft body quietly standing close to hm. At this time everyone was either asleep or busy. Ji Bai gently put his arm around her: "Are you feeling cold?"

Xu Xu shook her head and asked: "Do you believe Lin Qingyan?"

"I only believe in evidence, and his answer explains everything at the moment," Ji Bai whispered, "and on both occasions, his car did not enter the mountains. So we don't have any direct evidence." He turned to his side to look at her her soft little face under the light: "How do you see it?"

Xu Xu frowned: "I do not know, but from what we've seen in the second murder, the mentality of the murderer should be somewhat volatile. But no matter how you interrogated him, his response was always normal."

Ji Bai nodded: "After keeping him in custody for 24 hours, and verifying that what he said was the truth, we have no choice but to let him go."

Xu Xu did not speak anymore. After a while, she quietly turned to look to him. At this time, in the dark night, the light filtering in the corridor from the office was soft, like chiffon. His face had a trace of weariness, but also looked strong. Xu Xu put her hand around his waist, looked up and kissed his cold cheeks.

Ji Bai laughed. He looked down at her: "Why?

" Nothing. I just feel that we are so lucky."

She replied softly: "I hope Yao Meng will be able to meet people who are really suitable for her."

Ji Bai touched her head lightly: "Don't think so much. Go to my office for a while, once I finish my work I'll come to you."

In the large room, a lot of people were lying on the tables, grabbing some time to sleep before the day started. Xu Xu walked into Ji Bai's office and lay down for a while. Her mind was thinking about the case. Finally, she simply got up, went to the desk and sat down. She took some sheets of blank paper but could not find any pens on the table.

Even when she had come earlier to Ji Bai's office, the drawers were never locked. She opened the drawers, finally found two pens and pushed the drawer back.

After a few seconds, suddenly she reacted and opened the drawer again. She saw a stack of documents, and underneath it, she could see a black velvet box in the corner.

Opening the box, she looked inside and saw a bright diamond ring. Xu Xu was a little dazed. She suddenly remembered that when Yao Meng was talking, her left hand would gently stroke the ring on her right hand finger a few times. Perhaps it was not appropriate, but it was certainly a tender gesture.

Xu Xu raised her head. The outer room was quiet, no one was looking. She picked up the ring and slipped it on the ring finger of her right hand.

Ji Bai had chosen the correct size. The style was also elegant and generous, it was aligned to her tastes. Just that.. ... did he intend to marry her?

Xu Xu raised her hand, looked at the refracted light in the diamond for a while, and could not help but smile. After a while, she put her hand down and tried to slip off the ring, but she was shocked.

The ring was stuck at her knuckle, she could not get it off.

She tugged at the ring for few times, but could not take it off. Could it be that she was eating too much recently, and her fingers had become thicker? Or was it due to pregnancy that led to swollen fingers?
