As the two vehicles approached each other, Charlie’s curiosity led him to take a quick nce at the motorcade beside him.


    He recognized that the esteemed guests from Aurous Hill University were likely inside that Rolls Royce, prompting him to take a closer look at the vehicle.


    However, his interest was purely innocent; he merely stole a brief nce. Due to the privacy film on the windows, he could only make out the silhouettes of four individuals inside.


    At that moment, Lin Wan’er (ni), seated in the passenger seat, was scanning her surroundings when her gazended to the right.


    Across from the Rolls Royce, Charlie noted that the driver was an older gentleman, the front passenger was a young woman, and in the back seat sat an elderly couple. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As the two cars passed, the closest distance between Charlie and Lin Wan’er (ni) was just a few meters. Even udia, riding in the front passenger seat, caught a glimpse of Lin Wan’er (ni)’s profile.


    At that moment, udia was struck by the girl’s profile, finding it breathtakingly beautiful—a kind of timeless elegance that radiated an extraordinary presence.


    Charlie had only nced at her from a distance earlier, and he had no intention of looking again.


    Suddenly, udia couldn’t help but exim, “Wow… that girl is so beautiful!”


    Charlie’s instinct was to see what had caught her attention upon hearing herment.


    If he had looked back at the Rolls Royce then, he would have easily recognized Lin Wan’er (ni)’s profile immediately.


    At that crucial moment, however, Charlie felt an unexpected, vigorous jolt from his right trouser pocket!


    It was as if something alive was thrumming rapidly against the fabric.


    This bizarre urrence left Charlie momentarily bewildered. When he instinctively nced down into his pocket, he realized he had already passed the Rolls Royce—a brief moment thatsted only a second or two.


    As he reached into his pocket, he discovered the ring that Lin Wan’er (ni) had given him during their time in Northern Europe.


    To his surprise, the ring was still faintly vibrating in his hand, but the pulsations gradually diminished until they ceased entirely.


    Charlie mmed on the brakes to halt the car, peering at the ring again, pondering, “This strange object has been with me for so long, and despite infusing it with so much spiritual energy, it rarely reacts. Why is it suddenly moving?”


    udia, noticing Charlie’s abrupt stop and his curious behavior with the ring, furrowed her brow and asked, “Brother Charlie, what’s wrong?”


    Charlie frowned, trying to y it off casually. “Oh… I’m not sure who slipped a ring into my pocket.”


    udia quickly suggested, “Maybe it was sister ire?”


    Charlie nodded, feigning agreement. “That could be it. I’ll ask her when I get home.”


    As he spoke, Charlie’s mind was racing, “How strange… why did the ring stop vibrating after just a few movements? Should I inject some spiritual energy to see what happens?”


    As this thought crossed his mind, Charlie’s expression shifted suddenly as he realized, “Wait a minute, is this thing trying to trick me again? It knows I’m hesitant, so it made a little movement to pique my interest further and draw me in.”


    With this realization, he quickly tucked the ring back into his pocket. Recalling the feeling of his spiritual energy being drained before, he silently vowed, “Don’t worry, I won’t be fooled by you again!”


    In truth, Charlie was unaware that the ring’s sudden activity was due to its connection to Lin Wan’er (ni). This ring was special and had always belonged to her, establishing a bond between them.


    However, Lin Wan’er (ni)cked spiritual energy, which meant the connection was one-sided.


    In other words, the ring could sense Lin Wan’er (ni), but she was oblivious to the ring’s existence.<fn77ce> Chapters first released on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn77ce>


    Charlie had a good chance of seeing Lin Wan’er (ni), but the ring’s unexpected vibration distracted him just enough that neither of them saw each other.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
