Chapter 217 - 218 Proposal Ring (3)
Shen Ruozhuo noticed Qin Mobai’s gaze, and then she also focused her attention on the ring.
"Miss Shen, do you like this ring?" Qin Mobai asked casually, because compared to the other rings, this was the one Qin Mobai liked the most. He thought it would look especially good on Lou Xi’s hand. Since he already found one he liked, Qin Mobai didn’t want to waste more time choosing others.
Shen Ruozhuo just placed the diamond ring back onto the black velvet tray, smiled lightly, and said, "I like it."
From the first glance, Shen Ruozhuo had liked this ring, unique and radiant, and it would certainly look great on her hand.
"But, a gentleman does not take what others prefer." Shen Ruozhuo politely said, "If you like it, Mr. Qin, you should buy it. I hadn’t planned on buying a ring today anyway."
Qin Mobai nodded in appreciation and turned to the salesperson, "Please wrap up this ring for me. And also wrap up this pair of earrings."
He pointed at a pair of diamond stud earrings on the tray, exquisite and elegant.
"Sure, I’ll wrap them up for Mr. Qin right away." The salesperson was naturally thrilled. Qin Mobai was buying two of the most expensive items in the store, dramatically boosting her sales performance. How could she not be happy?
But before she had taken a couple of steps, she heard Qin Mobai continue, "Wrap them separately."
While the salesperson went to do the wrapping, Shen Ruozhuo nodded at Qin Mobai and went to look at other jewelry with her friend.
The quiet conversation from that side reached Qin Mobai’s ears.
"Ruozhuo, wasn’t that the fiancé your family arranged for you just now? Why do you two still act like strangers?" Her friend glanced over at Qin Mobai a couple more times, confirming he was the low-profile gentleman of the Qin Family.
"You said it yourself. It’s arranged by the elders, not my own choice." Shen Ruozhuo said mildly, without any discernible emotion.
"He’s here buying a ring; is it a gift for you?"
"Don’t joke around. Aren’t we here to buy a necklace? Have you picked one yet?"
"Come on, let me choose a bit longer!"
Qin Mobai didn’t listen to their conversation further. When the salesperson brought the receipt over, he signed it and took the two bags.
After turning around, he saw Shen Ruozhuo and her friend still in the store. He carried the bags over.
"Miss Shen, this is for you." Qin Mobai handed over the earrings he had just bought.
Shen Ruozhuo did not accept the bag, "I cannot accept without having earned it."
"You just let me have the ring." Qin Mobai did not like owing favors.
Shen Ruozhuo thought for a moment and took the bag Qin Mobai handed over, "Well then, this makes us even."
Qin Mobai nodded, thanked her, and left the jewelry store.
Her friend glanced at Qin Mobai’s departing figure, then turned back to Shen Ruozhuo, "Your fiancé just gave you earrings, they’re worth much more than that ring!"
Shen Ruozhuo smiled lightly, "It’s just a gift, and besides, he doesn’t want to owe me a favor, that’s all."
"No way, I think when a man gives a woman something, it means he has feelings for her!"
"Did you see he also bought a diamond ring just now? Do you know what a diamond ring means to a woman?"
"Well, it’s... just a diamond ring..." Her friend was a bit puzzled.
Shen Ruozhuo looped her arm through her friend’s and said, "In this lifetime, no matter how much money I earn, I can buy anything I want, but a diamond ring must be purchased by my future husband for me."
