Upon hearing this, the shop assistant was shocked, her eyes filled with anger and pity. Her initial admiration for the tall, handsome man turned into scorn for being a kept man.
But she had excellent professionalism, and with an impeccable professional smile, she reminded him: "Sir, the wedding ring must be purchased by the man."
"Get married?" The sudden turn of events left Mo Huaixing somewhat bewildered.
Gan Tang nodded firmly and asked repeatedly, "Don't you want to marry me?"
"Of course not, but how can we get married?" His current identity is fake. Besides, they haven't even met each other's parents yet.
"You should buy the diamond ring first," Gan Tang insisted.
"Don't worry, that day will come." Mo Huaixing pulled her outside. Gan Tang shook off his hand and threatened fiercely, "If you don't buy me a diamond ring, I won't let you touch me."
Good heavens, this is a public place!
The shop assistants and customers picking out jewelry all turned to look.
Gan Tang finally realized how inappropriate her words were, and her face turned bright red with embarrassment. Mo Huaixing quickly pulled her out.
In the car, no matter how Ren Mohuai tried to coax her, Gan Tang seemed oblivious, sitting there crying uncontrollably, determined to cry out all the tears she would ever shed in her lifetime.
Mo Huaixing had no choice but to return to the jewelry store to choose a diamond ring.
The same sales assistant served him again. Watching him choose a ring, she subtly hinted, "Sir, there aren't many girls like you these days. If you don't appreciate it, plenty of others will be eyeing it."
Mo Huaixing also inexplicably got angry and argued, "No matter how many people have their eyes on her, she only likes me."
Okay! Well, you're God, after all. The sales clerk looked at the handsome face in front of him, refrained from reminding him that "a man's shelf life isn't much longer than a woman's," and took out the diamond ring he had chosen.
"Is this the one?" she began her professional introduction: "This diamond ring uses..."
"I'll take this one," Mo Huaixing interrupted her.
The sales clerk maintained her fake smile and then asked, "Do you need the size altered?"
"No need!" Mo Huaixing said, reaching for the payment.
"Sir!" The young shop assistant, who had only been working for three months, still harbored girlish romanticism and a longing for marriage. She finally couldn't hold back any longer and loudly reminded him, "Marriage is a major event in a girl's life; you can't be so perfunctory."
The store manager, who had just returned from outside, saw this scene and rushed over. "I'm sorry, sir, she just arrived and doesn't know the situation. Please pay here."
"It's nothing, I just wanted to hurry, I didn't expect her to misunderstand!" Mo Huaixing paid and left.
The young shopkeeper watched the departing figure, feeling annoyed: "What kind of person is he? If he doesn't want to marry, he shouldn't be a kept man."
"They're not even bothering with you, and you still..." The store manager was so angry he wanted to hit someone. "Who told you to display this diamond ring? It's a custom design by them. It was just delivered yesterday, and I haven't even had a chance to call them yet."
"Huh?" The young shop assistant was dumbfounded. "Nobody told me that."
"Is that even a question?" The store manager scolded, pointing at the receipt with exasperation, "Look around the store, is there any diamond ring that big that costs 20,000? Even a fool would know that it's a diamond ring for which a deposit has already been paid. Luckily it didn't sell, otherwise you would be waiting to lose money."
"Hehe, being handsome makes all the difference." The young shop assistant gave an awkward, guilty laugh.
...
In the car, Gan Tang was still sobbing softly. Mo Huaixing handed the diamond ring to Gan Tang and gently comforted her, "Don't cry, okay? Take a look and see if you like it?"
He paused for a moment, then asked nervously, "If you don't like it, I'll go and change it."
“Wedding rings can’t be exchanged, I like them.” These were the words she said before opening the ring box.
Seeing her smile through her tears, Mo Huaixing reached out to wipe away the remaining tears on her face. "Were you traumatized after seeing Lin Shuang jump into the sea?"
Speaking of Lin Shuang, Gan Tang did feel a bit guilty: "Lin Shuang contacted me before she disappeared. After she disappeared, I specifically checked the surveillance footage of her neighborhood and found that she had overheard me talking to my brother about her. So, she probably wasn't kidnapped, but went to seek revenge on He Zhong. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have suffered this fate."
Mo Huaixing gently stroked her hair and comforted her, "Even if the truth is painful, overcoming it is a new beginning, and not overcoming it is also a kind of liberation. I think she would like to know, it's better than being fooled for a lifetime."
Gan Tang was suddenly startled. "Is that what you think too?"
"Why are your eyes red again?" Mo Huaixing found it strange. "Gan Tang, is there something you're hiding from me?"
"No." Gan Tang felt guilty, but forced a fierce glare at Mo Huaixing, changing the subject: "Since you've been acting all along, why didn't you tell me?"
“There was no acting.” Mo Huaixing explained, “At first, my brother was targeting me, just looking for an opportunity to find something in He Zhong’s hands that could be used against Lin Shuang, so that he would no longer dare to threaten Lin Shuang. Anyway, I couldn’t do those businesses, so I just went along with him. Later, it must have been after you told him the truth that he decided to kill He Zhong.”
Gan Tang understood: "So, you deliberately arranged for Dr. An to leave on that day?"
Mo Huaixing nodded, "Everyone is focused on what Dr. An has developed, but they've forgotten that people are the primary productive force."
Seeing his smug expression, Gan Tang really wanted to give him a good whack. "That's the ocean! Aren't you afraid he'll really drown?"
“It’s in the coastal area, and I’ve installed a tracking device on him.” Mo Huaixing wasn’t worried at all. “If he really dies, it’s his fate. Who told him to do things that harm the country and its people?”
“That’s true. You know, he’s such a brilliant PhD, he could do anything to support himself, why does he have to create those harmful things?” Gan Tang said, noticing that Mo Huaixing’s eyelids were drooping.
He'd been out all night, and before he could even sleep, he'd dragged himself to the mall. It was truly exhausting. Gan Tang gently patted him. "Why don't you get some sleep? I'll drive."
"Okay!" The two switched seats. Gan Tang was about to ask him if he wanted to sleep in the back when she realized he was already asleep. She adjusted the air conditioning vents, covered him with her coat, and drove away.
The car traveled at a steady pace through the bustling city, heading towards the endless sea. Tianjin is located by the sea, and there are many scenic spots around the city where you can enjoy sea views.
The sweetgum flowers bloomed quite far away, at an undeveloped seaside location, very quiet, even somewhat desolate. Seeing that Mo Huaixing was still asleep, she parked the car to the side and waited for him to wake up.
With nothing else to do, Gan Tang opened the diamond ring he had bought.
This diamond ring was much smaller than the one Chu Jiahe had customized, but it was really beautiful. It fit her ring finger perfectly, as if it had naturally blended into her finger.
"You have a good eye for choosing." Gan Tang smiled, turning the ring around to examine it closely. Inside the ring were two characters engraved, "Tang Bao," in oracle bone script.
Gan Tang thought she was seeing things, so she leaned closer and looked for a long time before accepting the strange fact: "Engraving on the ring, so fast?"
