Chapter 50: Go Shopping

Emily pretended to stroke her chin. It seemed like she was not at a disadvantage in this deal.

“Besides, I can help you a lot of times.”

Seeing that Emily still did not agree, the woman in white continued to speak.

“It’s not impossible, but can I ask why it’s me?”

After all, no one would believe such a thing if it was told to anyone. Just like her, she really thought that she was dreaming. That wasn’t right. This was her dream, but it didn’t feel like it.

“I don’t know either. It should be God’s will.”

The woman in white spread her hands. Her face was full of doubt, but her eyes were a little evasive.

Emily’s mouth was wide open in surprise. Could it be that she was the legendary chosen one? Wasn’t she a little too lucky?

“Anyway, you’ve already promised me, so you can’t go back on your word. We’re now bound together. It’s not like you can just throw it away if you want to.”

The woman in white took out a ring from somewhere and handed it to Emily.

“Take this. It will automatically absorb the likes around you. The higher the likes, the thicker the tree.”

Emily took it and looked at the ring in her hand. It was very simple. There was nothing special about it. It was just a silver-colored ring.

“But I suddenly have a ring around me. Isn’t this something that can’t be explained?” Emily could not help but frown. When Shen Yu asked, how would she explain it?

“Then I don’t know. You can think of a way to explain it yourself.” The woman in white shrugged, looking like she could not help.

Emily’s face was bitter. She wanted to continue speaking, but saw the woman in white wave her hand. Emily suddenly began to feel dizzy, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

“Millie?”

Emily opened her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable. She saw Second Aunt standing by her bed, calling her name softly.

“Second Aunt?”

“You’re awake? Say, you child, why didn’t you cover yourself with the quilt and fell asleep just like that? Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?” Second Aunt looked at Emily with some blame.

Emily’s face turned red. She had no recollection of when she had fallen asleep, so how could she bother to cover herself with the blanket?

“Millie, Second Aunt saw a ring in your hand? What’s this ring?”

Emily nervously looked at her hand and found that it was tightly holding the ring that the sister in white had given her. She suddenly felt a little guilty.

“This ring… This ring was given to me by Grandpa Village Chief when I returned to the village. He said that my mother… left it behind…”

Emily carefully glanced at second aunt. After seeing that Second Aunt did not suspect anything, she continued to speak.

“I fell asleep just now. Second Aunt, I’ll definitely pay attention in the future. I’ll definitely cover myself with the blanket when I sleep.”

Second Aunt’s eyes were wet after hearing Emily’s words. “Then you must take good care of it. This is the only thing your mother left for you, right?”

Emily lowered her head and instantly felt a little guilty. She didn’t lie on purpose, but she really didn’t know how to explain the origin of this ring.

Emily instantly felt a little disappointed.

How could her mother leave anything for her? Her father had just left, and her mother was sick. All the things that could be sold in the house had been sold, so why would she leave anything behind?

She wanted to leave something behind, but there was nothing. “Second Aunt, do you think I have a way to keep this ring by my side?”

If she wore the ring on her short hand, no matter how she looked at it, it would be a little strange.

“That’s simple. Leave it to Second Aunt. We’ll go downstairs to eat first. In a while, Second Aunt will take you out to buy things. Then, we’ll go see if there’s a way to let you wear this ring.”

Emily immediately smiled at Second Aunt. Then, she followed Second Aunt downstairs. When they went downstairs, she found out that it was already late. How could she have accidentally slept for so long?

“Millie, come quickly. As soon as I came back, I heard from your grandmother that you and Xiao Yu had fought quite a few games of Go today. After dinner, play two more games with Grandpa.”

When Shen Yan saw Emily appear, he was excited.

One had to know how shocked Old Man Shen was when he came back. He wanted to see it with his own eyes.

“Dad, that won’t do. I still want to take Millie out to buy things later. Isn’t Millie about to start school? We should buy some things that Millie needs.”
