Chapter 346: Chapter 335: Matching Rings Chapter 346: Chapter 335: Matching Rings She ca over early the next morning, and after having breakfast, the two of them headed to Central to shop. As they reached the entrance of the mall, Lu Jiaxin spotted a familiar figure.
Lu Jiaxin asked, “Sister Dan, are you out shopping too?”
Wang Yadan smiled and said, “The boss ntioned he wanted to buy you so jewelry but wasn’t sure what to pick, so he asked to co along to help choose.”
The boss had promised her double pay for working overti today, and if Miss Lu was happy, her end-of-month bonus would double as well. To please Miss Lu, Sister Dan had already scoped out a few designer brand stores the afternoon before; she had certainly done her howork.
Lu Jiaxin knew that Nie Zhan didn’t like shopping, so now that she had company, she didn’t want to trouble him, “Go ahead and rest at the hotel; Sister Dan and I will be fine shopping by ourselves.”
Seeing that he looked sowhat fatigued, she could tell he hadn’t rested well last night and wondered how late he had worked. Although she didn’t approve of staying up late, Lu Jiaxin didn’t like to interfere too much in his business.
Wang Yadan could tell that Lu Jiaxin was sincere when she said this and also urged, “Boss, rest assured, I will help Miss Lu find jewelry she likes.”
If Nie Zhan had co along for the shopping, Wang Yadan would have felt pressured, but without him, she could perform better on her own.
Nie Zhan agreed, nodding his head so as not to dampen their shopping spirits.
The first stop Wang Yadan took Lu Jiaxin to was Cartier, also one of the top jewelry brands in the world. Upon entering the store, she recomnded several pieces of jewelry she liked to Lu Jiaxin.
Undeniably, the jewelry Wang Yadan picked out was beautiful, but Lu Jiaxin felt it would look better on mature, charming won. So girls wanted to make themselves look more mature, so they would put a lot of effort into their makeup, but this was sothing that would absolutely never happen to Lu Jiaxin. Having the rare chance to be more than a decade younger again, she wanted to cherish these youthful years.
Lu Jiaxin looked around and ended up buying just a diamond bracelet.
After leaving the boutique, Wang Yadan asked, “Miss Lu, do you have any jewelry brands you like?”
Lu Jiaxin did have a preferred brand, which was Bulgari.
Once Wang Yadan heard this, she imdiately took her to the Bulgari boutique. Learning from her previous experience, she let Lu Jiaxin browse on her own and would only provide information if she found sothing she liked.
Lu Jiaxin was captivated by a sapphire necklace in the store. The sapphire was extrely beautiful, shimring with a dreamy and profound light.
Lu Jiaxin eagerly asked, “This gem must be one hundred carats, right?”
The store manager praised Lu Jiaxin for her accurate eye, “It’s 108.39 carats. Miss Lu, this necklace has been reserved by a custor as a gift for his wife’s tenth wedding anniversary.”
Wang Yadan thought how lucky this wife was to receive such a valuable gift on her tenth wedding anniversary. A necklace like this one started at a million greenbacks.
Lu Jiaxin really liked the sapphire necklace, but since it was already reserved, there was nothing she could do. The splurge this ti included earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and a watch, totaling three hundred and ninety thousand.
After swiping Nie Zhan’s card, she took out a receipt from her bag and gave it to the manager, “Your staff called two days ago to say the ring had arrived.”
She had placed a custom order for a pair of rings here, which she had designed herself. She had sent the designs to this boutique right after returning from Europe.
The manager took the receipt and imdiately fetched the ring for her, holding it out with both hands and ntioning that they provided ho delivery service. It was clear that seeing Lu Jiaxin as a potential big client imdiately changed his deanor.
After exiting the boutique, Wang Yadan asked out of curiosity, “Miss Lu, did soone ask you to buy these rings for them?”
“No, I had them made here for .”
Wang Yadan let out a sound and said, “Miss Lu, a man should buy the ring, not the woman. If you buy it yourself, it will make people think you’re desperate to get married, and you’ll be laughed at for being too eager to tie the knot.”
Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, “This is a promise ring for couples. In the past two weeks at school, several boys have confessed their feelings to , and when I go out with Nie Zhan, there are always beautiful won trying to chat him up. Wearing a couple’s ring would make it clear we’re taken. That should alleviate the confessions and flirting.”
Since the start of the school term just over a month ago, she had already been confessed to by three male classmates. Fortunately, the students had decent values, and when they heard she had a boyfriend, they all backed off.
Wang Yadan felt that even promise rings should be purchased by the man.
Unless soone tipped him off, Nie Zhan, with his straightforward male mindset, would have no clue about promise rings. Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “There’s no law that says rings have to be bought by n. Besides, I designed this promise ring myself. It has our nas inlaid on it, which makes it very aningful.”
Wang Yadan found her to be quite unique. When dating, she and those around her would subconsciously think the boyfriend should be the one to spend money, but Lu Jiaxin didn’t think that way. Even when her boss spent money on her, it took a lot of thought to make it happen.
Lu Jiaxin said, “Sister Dan, don’t tell Nie Zhan about this. I want to surprise him.”
Indeed, it turned out to be a big surprise, and Wang Yadan laughed in agreent.
When Nie Zhan saw her pull out the ring, he was stunned. After coming to his senses, he couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Jiaxin, you’re still young, you should at least wait until you’re twenty before you can marry. Also, proposing is my responsibility, not sothing you should do.”
Lu Jiaxin giggled, “I told Sister Dan you wouldn’t understand, and you really don’t. This is a promise ring, ant for couples.”
After saying that, she took out the n’s ring and put it on the middle finger of his left hand. Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “With this ring on, others will know you’re taken. Cultured people won’t try to flirt anymore.”
Thinking of the beautiful won flirting with him on vacation and Lu Jiaxin’s huffy deanor, Nie Zhan smiled and said, “Co, let put it on you too, so that the boys at school won’t confess to you anymore.”
Surprised, Lu Jiaxin asked, “How did you know?”
“If you want to know, you can indeed find out.”
Nie Zhan put the ring on the middle finger of Lu Jiaxin’s right hand, and sure enough, both rings were a perfect fit. True to a designer’s skill, the sizing was spot on.
Lu Jiaxin stretched out her hand in front of his face, smiled with squinting eyes, and asked, “Does it look good?”
Nie Zhan felt it was the best-looking ring in the world, unique and unparalleled, “When we get married, let’s design our own rings.”
Lu Jiaxin humd, “If you don’t treat well, I won’t marry you…”
Before she could finish, her mouth was sealed.
After pushing him away, Lu Jiaxin panted and punched him twice, but her blows were as light as if she was tickling him, “No more surprise attacks in the future, or I’ll ignore you.”
Her voice was coaxing, with no hint of a real threat.
“Then you also aren’t allowed to say what you just said ever again.”
Lu Jiaxin, with her pride, snorted defiantly.
Nie Zhan wrapped his arms around her, and whispered in her ear, “You’re not allowed to say what you just said ever again; you’re the one I’ve decided to spend my life with.”
Lu Jiaxin’s face reddened involuntarily.
