âHey, boss. Why did you walk away? That dress was so pretty!â Xu Xu could not comprehend his reason for walking away.
The woman followed them with a smile. She knew he would never agree to let her wear a low-cut dress like this.
The store assistant snorted in disdain as she used the feather duster to dust the spot Ye Erruo had just touched.
âWait a minute, Mo Jiangye.â The woman caught hold of his hand.
âWhat is it? Do you want that dress? I donât have the money to buy it for you.â He declined coldly.
Xu Xu, who was standing beside him, cocked his brow when he heard that and silently made his way to the cashier...
Her lips twitched but she said nothing. Instead, she led him to the ring section next to them. This was a place where couples could customize their wedding bands.
âLetâs make a pair of wedding rings,â she told him. While hugging his arm, she studied the different ring designs displayed inside the glass cabinet. It was rare for them to step into a mall in the first place, so she wanted to enjoy this time with him.
There were a few young couples sitting next to them. Some were going for average designs, while the rest wanted more extravagant ones. An ordinary ring could be customized within an hour, while complicated designs would take three hours. Customized designs could only be ready at a later time.
âWhich one do you like?â She pored over the designs with a serious look.
His orbs turned a shade darker as he hugged her from behind. âOur wedding bands will be ready soon.â
She was startled. âWedding bands?â
âYes.â
âBut we can wear this design for the time being.â He then led her to the luxury section.
The designs and patterns there were obviously more high-class than the ones they had seen earlier.
âSir and maâam, are you here to customize your wedding bands?â
âI would like to take a look at this...â The woman pointed to a diamond in a light lavender shade inside the transparent display cabinet.
âMiss, this is a rare diamond. It is the only one in S City. A deposit of ten million yuan is required before we can use this diamond on a wedding ring. You can choose the ring design after paying the deposit. A fee of five million yuan is needed when the ring is made with the diamond.â The store assistant continued to explain politely.
âIs the deposit compulsory regardless of the ring we want?â
âYes, maâam.â
She retrieved her finger. Her man had not brought any money. Furthermore, there was only one diamond in this color, so they could not make a pair of wedding bands with it.
A black card was dumped on the counter without a warning. âCut that piece of diamond into two for a pair of rings.â
The girl became enthusiastic at the sight of the card.
âSir, this diamond is very hard, so cutting it would require...â
âI donât care how you do it. Just cut it in half for a pair of rings.â He pushed the card toward her.
âSure, no problem!â
The woman turned around and glimpsed at him. âI thought you hadnât brought any money with you today?â
He dipped his eyes at her and replied. âI only have enough to buy the rings.â
âSir and maâam, please leave your address. Weâll send the rings to you when they are ready.â
The man told her sternly, âIâll give you two hours.â
âSir, we can do that in two hours but itâll be a hasty job. The result may not be good enough.â
He held his womanâs soft fingers in his hand and slowly spread out her palm. âIt doesnât have to be exquisite as long as itâs comfortable,â he replied hoarsely.
The shop assistant was taken aback. It doesnât have to be exquisite?
âWeâll only need to wear them for two days so I need them ASAP.â
The woman was speechless.
The shop assistant could not help sighing to herself inwardly. This man planned to wear a ring that cost more than a few million yuan for two days only. This was a person they could not offend at any cost!
âSir and maâam, please wait here.â She hurried back to her work station.
âWhat do you mean weâll only have them for two days?â she whispered to him.
He planted a light peck on the back of her palm. âOur wedding bands will be ready by then.â
A box appeared out of the blue right before their eyes.
âLittle sister-in-law, I got the dress for you.â
