Si Lijue had already seen through her expression and guessed what she was thinking. Seeing the sly smile on her face, he pretended not to notice and asked, "Wife, do you have a style you like?"
Su Niannian shook her head firmly, but answered against her will, "No...no, the jewelry here is too ordinary, I don't like it."
From the moment they stepped into the store, the jewelry store counter manager immediately recognized Si Lijue's identity and came over to serve him carefully.
Now, when she hears her domineering CEO asking the woman next to him if she likes him and even calling her "wife," she's so shocked her mouth could fit a goose egg.
When he heard that his wife, the president, was dissatisfied with the jewelry on the counter, he immediately rushed forward like an arrow, his face beaming with smiles and offering obsequious flattery.
The counter manager bowed slightly and said in a fawning tone, "Oh my, Madam, you have such a discerning eye! The jewelry displayed here is indeed very ordinary, designed for the mass consumer market, and has no special features."
Our store also has a prized possession, which I dare say is absolutely unique and a one-of-a-kind item, and is extremely valuable.
"I wonder if you, my dear wife, would be willing to take a look? I'm sure that with your refined taste and discerning eye, you'll fall in love with this unique piece of jewelry once you see it!"
He deliberately emphasized the words "treasure of the store," "unique item," and "valuable," his gaze fixed on Su Niannian, as if trying to imprint the information deeply into her mind.
He knew very well that these words held an irresistible attraction for a woman interested in jewelry.
After all, women's love for jewelry can generally be divided into two categories: one is simply attracted by its beautiful and charming appearance; while the other focuses more on its intrinsic value.
This is true for those ladies and young women from wealthy families.
Most of them regard jewelry as an important symbol of their identity and status.
The more expensive and rare the jewelry, the more it showcases one's nobility and uniqueness when worn out.
Therefore, when faced with Su Niannian, the darling of the domineering CEO, he naturally assumed that she, like other wealthy heiresses and wives of noble families, would also yearn for a set of exquisite jewelry that would attract attention, in order to highlight her superior and special status.
Su Niannian originally intended to refuse to buy things by saying she didn't like them, but now that she heard the manager mention a calming product that was quite expensive, she shook her head like a rattle drum without thinking.
"No need for that trouble, I don't watch it, and I don't like it."
Si Lijue, who was standing to the side, was amused by her adorable expression.
He ruffled her hair and asked softly, "You didn't even look at the style, how can you be so sure you don't like it?"
Su Niannian forced herself to talk nonsense: "Are you stupid! What is a unique item? It's something that people don't like, something that can't be sold, and it's only called a unique item if it's been sitting around for a long time."
Is there even a need to look at jewelry like this? It's completely unnecessary and a waste of everyone's time; it's definitely not good-looking.
"Uh..." The manager's expression was quite a sight, and for a moment he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He never imagined that after so many years in the jewelry industry, he would encounter such a unique customer!
This customer's understanding of one-of-a-kind items was utterly astonishing and completely unexpected.
Moreover, this customer was actually the wife of his domineering CEO, who said in front of his CEO that unique items are products that cannot be sold.
Actually, according to my wife's understanding, this argument isn't entirely untenable.
After all, the store's prized possessions are not something everyone can afford, and they might only sell one or two sets a year.
The manager couldn't help but sigh to himself, "The person who can be chosen by our domineering CEO is indeed extraordinary! Even the way he thinks about problems is completely different from the average person."
As he thought about it, the manager's gaze towards Su Niannian unconsciously held a hint of curiosity and inquiry.
"Hehehe~" Si Lijue let out a low chuckle, then asked Su Niannian curiously, "Is this how you understand a unique piece?"
"Yes! Is there something wrong with it?" Su Niannian blinked her big, round eyes and asked innocently.
Si Lijue pondered for a moment and said truthfully, "You're absolutely right. They don't even sell one or two unique items in their shop in a year."
"You're right! I knew you'd agree with me! See, even you think so! So, let's skip this so-called unique piece! It's nothing special. We should hurry home and spend time with our lovely baby son!"
With a big smile on her face, Su Niannian held Si Lijue's hand tightly and turned around to walk towards the door.
As she walked, she kept turning back to look at Si Lijue, her eyes filled with anticipation and eagerness.
It felt as if if she had stayed any longer, she would have missed precious time with her son.
Si Lijue, whose hand she was holding, looked at her with a mixture of helplessness and doting, and pulled her into his arms with a strong pull.
He held the woman in his arms tightly in front of everyone and whispered in her ear, "Since we're already here, let's take a look at their prized possession. It won't be a wasted trip."
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity for us to just leave like this!
Su Niannian suddenly realized that Si Lijue's words made a lot of sense. It's not illegal to look, as long as you control your wallet and don't buy!
She nodded, a smile spreading across her face.
“Okay! We’ll do whatever you say, honey. Let’s feast our eyes and see what this unique piece is like, that it can’t be sold all year round.”
"Yes, that's right." Si Lijue generously gave her an approving look.
Then, he instructed the manager not far away: "Bring over your unique items so that the lady can take a look."
The manager chuckled and replied, "Alright! Mr. Si, please sit on the sofa and wait a moment, I'll go get it myself."
He led Mr. and Mrs. Si Lijue to the reception area, poured them water, and then went upstairs.
She thought to herself: "It has to be my boss, Mr. Si, who has such a knack for charming women. He never expected that Mr. Si, who seems indifferent to women, would be just as good at flirting with girls."
Si Lijue pulled Su Niannian to sit down on the sofa. "You must be thirsty after talking so much. Here, have some water to soothe your throat." He then picked up a glass of water and held it to Su Niannian's lips.
Su Niannian was a little embarrassed by his actions. She glanced at the other staff members in the store and took the teacup from Si Lijue's hand. "I can do it myself. Thank you, husband."
"Is this how you thank me?" Si Lijue looked at the slightly flushed woman and decided to tease her.
