Chapter 395= 395, Wedding Ring
Mo Weiyi is truly angry just thinking about it, “Isn’t your American classmate just too vain? Did she deliberately trickyou into having dinner. Fortunately, arrived in time, otherwise you would have already become someone else’s boyfriend! And she’s even making plans for marriage, bleh! Is she even worthy?”
Xiao Yebai’s tone remains indifferent, as if devoid of emotion, “I’ll take you
home.”
“Home? But I’m still hungry. Yebai, accompany me to eat.” Mo Weiyi wrinkles her nose, “But I don’t want to eat here, let’s find another place.
The thought of that mother and daughter still in the private dining room completely robbed her of her appetite.
Mo Weiyi quickly returned to the dining room to retrieve her belongings, smiled and bid her farewell, ” I’m going to have dinner with Yebai now, Wanwan, I’ll come to find you in school in the afternoon. Mr. Huo, thankyou for your hospitality, goodbye!”
Having said that, she left swiftly.
Su Wanwan was somewhat perplexed, while Huo Jingshen seemed pleased.
The idle crowd finally left.
After finishing almost all of her food, Su Wanwan drank the last spoonful of
soup, “I’m full.”
She wiped her mouth, stood up, ready to leave, “Let’s go, I have class this
afternoon.”
“Wait a minute.” Huo Jingshen held her wrist.
“What is it?”
Huo Jingshen stood up, then slowly raised the hand that was tucked in his suit
pocket.
The moment she saw a red velvet box in his sturdy, distinct hands…
Su Wanwan was stunned.
Is this…?
Slender fingers opened the box to reveal a delicate diamond ring.
With a heart-shaped diamond set on the ring, it was smooth and elegant,
shining brilliantly.
Although it was raining outside, the light was on in the room.
Under the refracted light, the diamond emitted rays of light, glowing brilliantly
with a slight movement.
It was enough to blind someone.
indeed, Su Wanwan was momentarily blinded and before she could react, her
lefthand was held.
Then, she felt a chill on her ring finger, and the diamond ring was already on
her hand.
“Do you like it?” Huo Jingshen’s deep voice gently echoed.
Su Wanwan was still a bit dazed.
Is this a wedding ring?
Seeing the girl’s “moved” expression, Huo Jingshen lifted the corner of his lips and asked again, “Baby, do you like this wedding ring?”
Su Wanwan finally came back to her senses.
She nodded, somewhat embarrassed, she asked, “When did you buy it?
They got their marriage certificate almost half a year ago, she didn’t expect him
to suddenly give her a ring.
“Last night.” Huo Jingshen slightly smiled, “Forgot so soon?
“Oh.” Su Wanwan remembered now.
But she thought he just bought it on a whim last night and since he didn’t mention anything afterwards, she didn’t expect…
She looked at the diamond ring.
It looked like it was custom-made, delicate, bright, and beautiful on her
slender fair fingers.
No wonder they say women love diamonds.
It was indeed beautiful.
“From now on, you must wear it every day and are not allowed to take it off.”
Huo Jingshen suddenly issued a command.
“Ah?” Su Wanwan instantly lifted her head, her little face alarmed, “What if I
lose it?”
“If you lose it.” Huo Jingshen smiled again, “My dear, you’ll have to pay with your own flesh.”
Su Wanwan:”…”
Dammit!
The touching atmosphere instantly dissipated.
She pouted her mouth, “Nevermind then, I won’t wear it.”
She remembered the price tag from last night seemed pretty steep, how many times would she have to pay?
just as she extended her hand to take it off, Huo Jingshen caught her hand, “Try taking it off.”
“I’m afraid I’ll lose it.”
Su Wanwan was really afraid of losing it, she hadn’t dared to wear the jade
bracelet that Mrs. Huo gave her.
“Aren’t you afraid of paying with your flesh?
SuWenwen:”…”
Finally, Huo Jingshen grumpily said, “If you lose it, I’ll buy you a new one.”
“Alright then.”
She finally felt relieved, hihi.
Having said that, Su Wenwen looked at him with her little nose and small eyes,
“Then you must wear it too, every day!”
Huo Jingshen chuckled, extended his right hand, “I put it on last night, I didn’t even take it off when I showered, my dear’s attention towards her husband is
not enough.”
Su Wanwan was dumbfounded.
Alright.
She had been too focused on Mo Weiyi’s affair earlier, she really hadn’t noticed.
Then, Huo Jingshen suddenly picked up his phone from the table, “Do you want to take a picture and show off?”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Not long after, in the WJY WeChat group, a man who usually lurks posted a picture.
In the picture, the man’s hand was long and powerful, each finger distinctly outlined with a simple, low-key men’s ring on his right ring finger.
Next to it was a woman’s small hand, as smooth and slender as green onions, with a heart-shaped diamond ladies’ ring on her left ring finger.
Nangong Ci:[Damn! Ah! My eyes! My eyes are blinded! Blinded by this flashy diamond!]
Ming Jing:[For this wave of dog food, I give big brother a hundred points! Not a
point more, I’m afraid big brother will get proud!]
LuChenyu:[Hehe.]
Chu Xiuhuang:[Hehe.]
Nangong Ci:[Second brother, what’s upsetting you? Why are you “hehe”ing with fourth brother?]
Chu Xiuhuang: [Hehe.]
Nangong Ci:[Seems like he’s really upset…]
Chu Xiuhuang was furious.
Dammit!
This was evidently the ring he had set his heart on first, but it was snatched away by that shameless old man, who then took pictures to show it off on
WeChat?
Although he had dared to monopolize all the jewelry sections and occupied all the entertainment gossip headlines, there was only one pair of those rings.
In his office, Chu Xiuhuang put down his phone, his slender finger tapping on the black office desk, his phoenix eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Until his phone rang again.
Seeing the incoming call display, Chu Xiuhuang almost rolled his eyes. Seems like this old man was quite upset by the news. Since the news broke this morning he must’ve made a dozen calls by now.
And he can’t not answer.
“Hello.”
“Ahuang, I saw on Weibo that it’s a buzz, tell me the truth, are you really interested in the girl from the Lu family?
Chu Xiuhuang’s brows furrowed. “Which one from the Lu family?”
It seems like he had been introduced to two socialites from the Lu family a while back, but he had long ago forgotten what they looked like.
Old Master Chu sighed over the phone. “I’m not such an old-fashioned man. Your father passed away early, your mother is in poor health, and after I’m gone, all I want is someone loving to take care of you. But…about that Lu family boy if he really becomes part of our family, should I call him my granddaughter-in-law or grandson? And I worry, you two are both men, how will you guys have children in the future? Are you destined to have no offspring in this life? Your mother might not agree…”
“Fuck'” Chu Xiuhuang couldn’t hold back anymore, “Grandpa, can you stop paying attention to the terrible gossip news online? Haven’t you had enough after a whole day?”
All damn day he had been on phone calls, and it was one thing when he was being asked about women, but now came the questions about men!
He vehemently declared, “I’m purely straight, and I’m just brothers with Lu!”
“Really?” Old Master Chu still didn’t believe it.
After all this time, the only ones who could stay close friends with Chu Xiuhuang would be Lu Chenyu.
The Chu family and the Lu family were on good terms, so if the two of them could be together, he wouldn’t rule that out.
It took Old Master Chu a long time to accept this unconventional love.
“If I lie, may I be struck down by five thunderbolts!” Chu Xiuhuang angrily slammed the table.
Damn, he was really angry!
He thought only those stupid fangirls on Weibo would imagine things. He never thought that his grandfather would suspect something was off about his sexua orientation. He felt like pointing at the sky and swearing.
“Alright, alright, since you’re just brothers, I can be at ease. Why are you swearing such a deadly oath?
Old Master Chu was quite happy. “You go hackwork. Remember to take care of your things. I’ll give Secretary Shi a call later. Your marriage matters need to be prioritized. If you didn’t like the ones from before, I’ll introduce some better ones for you. You should tell Secretary Shi about any requirements you have.”
Chu Xiuhuang:
When will it all end?
Having finally gotten rid of the old man, he collapsed into his chair, tilting his head and smacking his lips, seemingly lost in thought.
Minutes and seconds ticked by.
About half an hour later, he suddenly stood up.
He opened the office door, the hallway outside was silent. It was just after twelve in the afternoon, the company’s lunch break. Chu Xiuhuang slowly strolled to the secretarial office, indeed hearing the sound of Shi Huan’s voice on a phone call.
“Alright, old master, please rest assured.”
“Yes, once you’ve arranged it, please leave it to me.
“It’s no trouble at all, old master. This is my duty.
Chu Xiuhuang really wanted to roll his eyes.
Fucking hell!
She was so obedient and considerate in front of his grandfather, always saying yes to anything, but in front of him, she only contradicted him, making him mad!
Just as he was about to go in, someone else spoke.
“Sister Shi, did Old Master Chu call you again?”
“Is he arranging another blind date for Chu?
“But Chu just gave Sister Shi a piece of jewelry from an exhibition center last night!”
“Yeah, how much did that jewelry cost?’ “According to the newspaper, the media has calculated it. It s about 85 million in total.”
“Oh my god, that’s so much money, Sister Shi, why did Chu give you so much jewelry?”
“I saw on the news that it said Chu and Sister Shi… office romance. Is it for
real?”
Chu Xiuhuang pricked his ears.
Then Shi Huan’s soothing but cold voice calmly responded, “How many times have i already told you guys, Chu simply wanted to buy some jewelry last night and I happened to be accompanying him. So he pulled me along to create this publicity stunt. I guess you could call it a form of the company’s promotional strategy. As for all these things, they’re probably going to be gifted to his girlfriends in the future. Do you understand now?
ChuXiuhuang:”…”
Inside the secretarial office, the assistant Xiaoliu was filled with admiration.
“Wow, Chu is really rich and willful, huh?
“Exactly! He actually spent so much money just for publicity! “Doesn’t a few tens of millions mean nothing to our Chu?” “Yeah, anyway Chu changes his girlfriend every month.” “I’m so jealous of Chu’s girlfriends, they get such expensive gifts just by accompanying him for a month.”
“Exactly…”
“Secretary Shi!”
The sudden cold voice startled the secretarial department into silence.
Damn it.
Lately, Chu always appeared out of nowhere, scaring the hell out of people. Thank god they didn’t speak ill of Chu just now, who knows how much he had heard…
Everyone kept their heads down, quietly whispering in their hearts.
Shi Huan stood up. “Chu, did you need something?”
“Come to my office.” Having said this, Chu Xiuhuang left with a grave expression.
When Shi Huan left with her notebook, the secretarial department once again erupted in noise.
“Oh no, it seems like Chu isn’t in a good mood.
“Did he hear us discussing yesterday’s matter?’
“But we didn’t say anything much!”
“Besides, it’s relaxation time now.”
“Chu must think we gossip too much!”
“So he asked Secretary Shi to lecture us?”
“We feel bad for Secretary Shi.”
**
Sitting in his office chair behind the desk, Chu Xiuhuang squinted at Shi Huan, his face stern.
Shi Huan, however, seemed unbothered. She opened her notebook, pressed her pen, and began speaking formally, “Sir Chu, what can I do for you?”
Chu Xiuhuang observed her, remaining silent.
“Sir Chu?” Shi Huan slightly frowned.
Chu Xiuhuang stayed silent.
Just when Shi Huan was considering waving her hand in front of his eyes, Chu Xiuhuang’s voice finally resonated, “Did grandfather call you?”
“Yes.”
“What did he say?”
Shi Huan reported in detail, “The old master asked me not to arrange any more female companions for you, but rather to get to know your preferences as soon as possible, and help you settle your major life event.”
“My preferences. Secretary Shi, you don’t know them?” Chu Xiuhuang sneered. “What kind of coffee I like to drink, how cooked I like my steak, which designer I wear…weren’t these all arranged by you?”
Shi Huan replied, “What the old master meant was, he wanted me to understand Sir Chu’s preference for women, that is, for your future marriage partner.”
“Oh.” Chu Xiuhuang nodded.
Understood.
