Chapter 92: Custom Made

At the mention of the Fu family, Song Ning could not help but smile bitterly. “They’re just putting on a show. It has nothing to do with feelings whatsoever. They have ulterior motives for wanting me to marry Fu Le.”

“Ulterior motives?” Mu Chen was puzzled.

Before Song Ning could explain, the salesperson returned with an album in his hands. Next to him was a man meticulously dressed in a suit; he seemed to be the manager.

The salesperson stuttered, “I’m sorry. This is our manager. We found many…”

The manager interjected and bowed respectfully, “President Mu…”

Mu Chen smiled. “Don’t be nervous. I’m not here to inspect the store.”

The salesperson was dumbfounded; the manager was drenched in sweat.

Song Ning was surprised as well. She pulled Mu Chen’s arm and asked in a soft voice, “This jewelry store belongs to your family?”

Mu Chen squeezed her hand and said, “It’s not ‘your family’, It’s our family.”

The manager smiled and asked, “President Mu, I heard you came to choose a pair of rings?”

Mu Chen nodded and pointed at the salesperson. “He said that my grandmother had commissioned a pair of rings for us. I want to have a look.”

The salesperson was on the verge of tears as he said, “I’m sorry, President Mu. I only wanted to show you the photos as a reference. It’s not my intention to show your rings to everyone…”

Mu Chen was in a good mood and did not dwell on the matter. “It’s okay. You did a good job.” Then, he said to the manager, “He’s quite professional; don’t make things difficult for him. He only wanted to show me the photo as a reference.”

The manager hurriedly said, “Apart from this one instance, we don’t show the photo to customers in fear of the design being copied. We have many other photos to use as a reference for other customers… I…”

Mu Chen interjected, “Are the rings completed?”

“Yes. I’ve informed the chairman about it as well. She said to leave them in the shop and that she’ll collect them at a later date. We, naturally, didn’t put them on display.”

Mu Chen was very satisfied. “Bring them out for me now.”

“Yes.” The manager quickly asked the salesperson to bring the rings out.

When the manager turned around to leave, Mu Chen stopped him. “Hey, don’t tell grandmother about this. I want to surprise her.”

The manager hastily replied, “Yes, yes, I understand. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Mu Chen looked at Song Ning.

She smiled and shook her head.

Mu Chen could not help but sigh inwardly. It seemed like he was one step behind his grandmother again; she was always a step ahead of him. She was really a wise person. This time, he planned to seize the advantage and surprise her in return.

The pair of grandmother-and-grandson was just like children competing with each other. Many people, like those in the Ning family, would be jealous of their relationship.

Song Ning shook her head.

At this moment, the salesperson returned with a tray in hand.

As soon as Song Ning’s eyes fell on the rings, she was stunned.

There was a crescent pink diamond that was surrounded by tiny diamonds on top of the ring. It was beautiful without being overly ostentatious.

As soon as she saw the ring, she could not help but recall Mu Chen’s earlier words about wanting a ring that showed he wanted to give her the world and support her. A ring that embodied the stars worshipping the moon. In fact, even without those words, just by looking at the ring, she could figure out the meaning it tried to convey.

On the other hand, the man’s ring was a simple one with a diamond in the middle. Similar to its counterpart, the diamond was crescent-shaped as well.

At this moment, Mu Chen reached out to pick up the woman’s ring…

The manager hurriedly stopped Mu Chen. “President Mu…”

Mu Chen looked at the manager, puzzled.

The manager looked at the salesperson meaningfully.

Following that, the salesperson, who wore gloves, picked the ring up. With a gentle pull, the ring was separated into two rings. One was a ring with only a crescent-shaped pink diamond, and the other one was a ring with a cluster of diamonds.

Mu Chen and Song Ning were surprised when they saw this.

The manager explained, “The chairman said it’s not suitable for the Young Madam to wear complicated jewelry when she’s working. However, at the same time, she wanted something exquisite as well. Therefore, in the end, the ring was designed in such a way where the Young Madam can opt to wear the ring with the cluster of diamonds when she’s working since it’s much more lowkey. For important occasions, Young Madam can combine the rings and wear them as a set.”

After Mu Chen took the ring from the salesperson, he pulled them apart before putting them together again as he said, “Grandma is really thoughtful…”

Following that, he helped Song Ning wear the ring. “It looks great…” Then, he separated the rings before he helped Song Ning wear the ring with the cluster of diamonds and the ring with the crescent-shaped pink diamond one after another. “All of them looked great…”

Meanwhile, the manager and the salesperson remained silent as they watched the couple with a smile on their faces.

After Mu Chen put Song Ning’s ring down, he picked up his ring and tried it. “It looks really good.”

Song Ning was amused by Mu Chen’s behavior.

At the same time, the manager reminded himself to pull the surveillance footage to show it to the chairman later. There was no doubt it would please the chairman.

Before leaving, Mu Chen repeatedly reminded the manager that he was not to tell his grandmother that he had already collected the rings or there would be consequences.

The manager smiled bitterly. It was really difficult being caught in between this pair of grandmother-and-grandson. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to listen to Mu Chen. After all, the chairman would be happy when she learned about the surprise.
