Because of his subconscious action, Jiang Si's thoughts, which had been interrupted in the evening, were miraculously resumed.

It can only be said that a woman's sixth sense in these matters can sometimes be frighteningly strong.

Did you go out to buy me a gift this afternoon?

"You know?" Huo Tingzhou paused slightly as he reached for something, glancing towards the doorway. "Did the two little ones tell you?"

Jiang Si was very protective of her own and immediately shook her head, "It has nothing to do with them."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but now... I'm very sure."

Huo Tingzhou smiled knowingly, then took out a square velvet box from his pocket.

Thanks to the many times he had accompanied her shopping in the past, Huo Tingzhou knew a little about Jiang Si's aesthetic sense and preferences.

I was a bit short on cash and had to save money for the red envelope, so in the end I could only choose this one.

The box was opened, revealing a small and exquisite diamond ring.

The ring was set with tiny diamonds, and in the center was a rice-grain-sized sapphire, its color a clear, deep blue, just like Jiang Si's.

Taking her left hand in his, Huo Tingzhou carefully slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

"The ring is a little small," Huo Tingzhou said in a low voice, referring to the diamond on it.

He had seen many diamonds in his wife's jewelry box before, including some the size of pigeon eggs, and the colors were not limited to white.

Compared to those, this ring is really nothing special. "Just make do with it for now..."

Jiang Si understood his unfinished words.

However, she didn't care about the size of the diamond.

After putting the ring on, she admired it carefully for a while.

Jiang Si's hands are very well-maintained. Apart from a few thin calluses on her right hand from holding a pen for a long time, her fingers are slender and fair, and her nails are neatly trimmed and have a healthy pinkish hue.

Such hands look exceptionally beautiful no matter what jewelry they wear.

After admiring it for a while, Jiang Si looked up curiously and asked, "Where did you get this ring?"

She's a native of Shanghai; she's been to every jewelry store in Shanghai.

Moreover, the Jiang family started out in the silver shop business, so she has absolute authority when it comes to gold and silver jewelry.

Jiang Si recalls that, apart from Friendship Store, the only other jewelry store operating in Shanghai at the time was the state-owned Shanghai Gold and Silver Jewelry Store.

This is Lao Feng Xiang Jewelry Store, which was nationalized in 1952.

Currently, the store only sells some plain gold jewelry, and a letter of introduction from your employer is required to purchase it.

As if she had thought of something, Jiang Si frowned. "You didn't go to the black market, did you?"

Although he was skilled enough to avoid any problems, such places were chaotic and there was no need for his family to take the risk given their current situation.

This is the main reason why she has so many things in her space, but has never sold them on the black market.

"I didn't go to the black market," Huo Tingzhou said truthfully. "I bought the ring at the Friendship Store."

Friendship Store? Jiang Si was slightly taken aback for a moment.

Okay, at his current level, he certainly deserves to get in.

"Do you like it?" Huo Tingzhou looked at her, feeling a little uneasy, until Jiang Si nodded heavily, "Of course I like it!"

However, given the current environment, she can only wear this ring at home; she still needs to be careful when going out.

She doesn't plan to pick any today, since she won't be going out for the next couple of days anyway.

Just then, the voices of two little ones came from outside the door, "Daddy, can we come in now?"

They've been standing at the door for a while now, even though we agreed to call them soon.

Why haven't Dad called them yet after waiting so long? Could he have forgotten?

Although it was a bit hurtful to say that, Huo Tingzhou had genuinely forgotten.

He quickly went to open the door, and as soon as it opened, the two little ones each rushed towards Jiang Si with a bouquet of flowers in their hands.

It seems he learned from his previous experience of sending flowers, because on this rare occasion where Lunar New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day coincide, he still remembered to buy himself two bouquets of flowers.

Jiang Si had received enough surprises today, but the two little ones were clearly unaware of it.

Sui Sui tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Daddy, don't you have any pretty tutu skirts?"

Aunt Chris is getting married today. There are flowers, a ring, and a beautiful tutu!

So he naturally assumed that his father had also bought his mother a tutu!

Zhao Zhao was already rubbing her little hands excitedly. She also wanted to see her mother wear a pretty dress, and she and her brother could help their mother hold the hem of her dress!

This time, I promise the skirt won't fly away!

Huo Tingzhou was instantly embarrassed upon hearing this.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Jiang Si couldn't help but laugh and quickly smoothed things over, "Alright, alright, don't make things difficult for Dad."

Huo Tingzhou's money is all tied up. He bought a ring and flowers today, so where would he get the money to buy a wedding dress?

To be honest, Jiang Si doesn't really have any obsession with wedding dresses, but then again...

"I really thought you went to buy me a wedding dress today."

The main reason was that she noticed Huo Tingzhou had glanced at Chris's wedding dress several times during the wedding banquet.

It was just a casual joke, but Huo Tingzhou's expression turned noticeably strange after hearing it.

"You're not really going, are you?"

Huo Tingzhou didn't hide anything and nodded.

He did go to that store, but they didn't have any wedding dresses on hand.

The shop owner also said that it would take at least a month to customize a wedding dress.

Jiang Si was not surprised by this, as China stopped producing fabrics specifically for wedding dresses a long time ago.
