“I’m not showing off, but I know Yitong treats you as her family. I arranged for us to buy these things together because I wanted to tell you that I will cherish Yitong for the rest of my life. She will always be my top priority. If someday you feel that I’ve treated her badly, you can come and get her.” Chai Xingyu patted his chest and declared.
Su Yan covered her mouth and laughed. “Oh, so the two of you are showing off your love in front of me. You just want to make me envious.”
Chai Xingyu smiled sheepishly and said, “It’s 12pm now. I’ll treat you to lunch as an apology.”
“Forget it. If we have lunch together, many netizens will be disappointed. After all, the two of us are so-called lovers.” Su Yan shook her head and said.
The scandal between her and Chai Xingyu had already died down. However, as long as the two of them happened to appear together, there would still be paparazzi around to sneak a photo or two.
Most importantly, Chai Xingyu was now a huge upstart in the business world. His status was no longer the same as before. If the two of them bought a house, a diamond ring, and had lunch together, they would definitely be exposed by the paparazzi. Su Yan could even imagine the headlines of the next day’s tabloid. “It’s the truth! Chai Xingyu and Su Yan’s secret marriage.”
Chai Xingyu was noncommittal. If Su Yan had not mentioned the scandal, he would have forgotten about it. Yet as he thought about how he should avoid unnecessary trouble, Chai Xingyu finally decided to listen to Su Yan.
“Can I give you a lift, then?” Chai Xingyu said.
Su Yan shook her head. “You should go back first. You’re going to propose soon and you must have many other things to prepare. I’ve been exhausted recently. I’ll just take today as a good opportunity for a walk to relax.”
After watching Chai Xingyu leave, Su Yan returned to Wanfu Jewelry. Seeing that she had returned alone, the shop assistant came up to Su Yan with a puzzled look and asked, “How can I help you, Miss?”
“I’d like to check if you carry a ring that can be worn just by one person. A ring for singles?” Su Yan enquired as she gazed at the glass casing.
The shop assistant was slightly stunned and looked at Su Yan with a strange look. She did not expect that Su Yan would want that sort of ring. If Su Yan were ugly, then perhaps it would be more expectable. How could it be that no one loved a beautiful woman like her?
As she looked at the dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry, Su Yan felt a strange, indescribable feeling. The diamond ring that Wei Zhou bought for her when they got married was very ordinary in both design and size, but Su Yan treasured it greatly. However, she realized much later that Wei Zhou had never worn his ring, and he had even forgotten where he put it.
As Su Yan thought about the unbearable past, she listened to the cashier introduce the ring to her. Today, Su Yan was going to buy herself the most beautiful ring to make up for the grievances she had suffered over the years.
The cashier picked up a ring with a very novel design and said, “Miss, I strongly recommend this ring. There’s a thorn-apple flower carved delicately on its surface. It’s very compatible with your beauty and temperament.”
Su Yan took the ring and leaned under the light to look at it carefully. This ring was indeed beautiful. It had a modern design and yet did not lose its traditional charm. The overall design was elegant and dignified, especially the diamonds at the flower petals, which emitted a mesmerizing light.
“Yes, it is indeed very beautiful.” Su Yan nodded.
The cashier said, “It’s a bit pricey, at 88,000 yuan...”
“Write me the invoice!” Su Yan handed her black credit card over before the cashier could even finish speaking. There was a saying that stated that , Su Yan took out a black credit card and handed it over. There was an old saying that said something like “frustration in love but happiness in business”. Although Su Yan’s marriage failed, she was thankfully still wealthy.
After paying, Su Yan took the jewelry box and turned to leave. However, just as she walked out of the shopping mall, she met the “Iceberg President”, Wei Zhou.
“You bought a diamond ring? Su Yan, are you in such a hurry to find your next husband?” Wei Zhou asked with a long face.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and questioned, “Great CEO Wei, I have the freedom to buy whatever I like, don’t you think? I don’t have to report my purchases to you, right?”
Wei Zhou clenched his fists tightly as he listened to Su Yan’s indifferent tone.. His heart felt as if it had been stabbed by something, and his chest seemed to have anger lodged in it, making it difficult for him to breathe.
