---- But he frowned, looking somehow dissatisfied, though I didn't know why. On the way back, his phone rang. Gilbert turned on the speakerphone, and a delicate, sweet voice immediately came through: "Gilbert, I'm back. See you at the usual place." It was his first love, Bessie, who had returned to the country. Upon hearing this, Gilbert's face, usually as cold as a millennium of ice, instantly melted, like a lake of spring water thawing. Gilbert and Bessie chatted sweetly for over ten minutes before Gilbert reluctantly hung up the phone. asked him again to pull over so I could get out. He insisted on dragging me to buy roses and gifts. "Gilbert, you're going on a date, I won't disturb you!" When we arrived at the shopping mall, I wanted to ---- hail a taxi to leave. But Gilbert wouldn't let me go: "Aren't you curious who that was? Didn't you use to following behind me?" It turned out my bland reaction had aroused his curiosity. Unfortunately, having seen so much of his differential treatment in my previous life, I'm no longer surprised by his contrasting behavior. And Ihave no interest in accompanying him to buy gifts for Bessie. "Why do I need to be curious? Maybe I grew up..enjoy your date." Gilbert's gaze towards me was inscrutable. He slammed the taxi door shut, dismissed the driver, and dragged me straight into a jewelry store in the mall. "Bring out the treasure of the store I asked you to ---- hold back." The jewelry store saleswoman, seeing me being dragged into the store, thought I was Gilbert's girlfriend. She hastily brought out the pink diamond while praising my beauty, trying to please Gilbert. As the clerk was about to try the diamond ring on my hand, Gilbert coldly took the pink diamond: "She's not even worthy!" The atmosphere in the store instantly became extremely awkward. The clerk was so frightened that her face turned white. She immediately bowed respectfully to Gilbert, repeatedly apologizing and begging for his forgiveness. Iunderstood that Gilbert wouldn't let me leave, and he just wanted to embarrass me. It had nothing to do with anyone else.
