Chapter 264 Are you planning to call off the engagement?
"Thank you." Momo looked up at him, hesitated for a few seconds, and then spoke again, "But this is far too much; I can't accept it."
She had no idea how much it would cost to buy so many diamonds.
She held it, but felt uneasy.
As soon as the girl finished speaking, she saw the man opposite her suddenly darken his expression.
Fu Yungui, a cigarette dangling from his lips, said coldly, "Huang Momo, you're ungrateful again, aren't you?"
If you give her a gift, just accept it without hesitation. Why are you overthinking this and that?
They're just thinking about a bunch of useless things.
Even if we don't consider that they are about to become a family, then his property will eventually belong to her.
Upon hearing this, especially the cool tone, Momo was taken aback and immediately changed her tune.
"Then, I'll just take one."
One is enough.
What she wants is the sentiment.
As she spoke, she reached into the box, picked up a piece, and clenched it tightly in her hand.
This one is already very valuable, more than all the New Year's money she's saved up over the years.
Thinking this, the girl carefully opened her palm again and looked once more at the diamond, which was neither too big nor too small.
It nestled obediently in her warm palm, shimmering in the sunlight streaming in from the window—it was absolutely beautiful.
Momo was engrossed in admiring herself, unaware that the man opposite her looked even uglier upon hearing her words.
"Yellow Jasmine".
Her gaze was completely fixed on what was in his palm when she suddenly heard him call her name in a deep voice. She was startled and then looked up.
The man remained with his arms crossed, his dark eyes fixed on her, though his expression didn't seem very happy.
Momo felt a little guilty under his gaze, wondering what she had said wrong that had unknowingly offended him.
"What, what?" She clenched her fists again and asked timidly.
Are you planning to call off the engagement?
"Hmm?" Momo didn't know why he suddenly said that; it was quite puzzling.
We were just talking about diamonds, what does that have to do with breaking off the engagement?
She really didn't understand, but she still obediently replied, in a serious tone, "No."
"How could that be?"
She had never thought about this question before, and she didn't know how he suddenly came up with it.
Hearing this, the man seemed somewhat satisfied, and his previously unpleasant expression softened slightly. He still glanced at her, his tone casual, "Then why are you making such a clear distinction between us?"
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to back out."
Momo frowned, only then realizing why he had brought up the annulment of the engagement.
It turns out it really was because of diamonds.
The girl couldn't help but chuckle at this thought.
This man is really different from others; he gives people gifts, and they can't refuse them.
No matter how valuable something is, it seems he has to give it away if he wants to.
Otherwise, they will get angry and unhappy.
"Alright, then I'll accept it."
As she spoke, Momo put the diamond in her palm back into the box and closed it.
"I understand. From now on, what's yours is mine. I need to get used to it."
"Is it okay?" the girl asked him with a smile.
That sounds much better.
The man's mood immediately improved. He raised an eyebrow, leaned forward, pinched her chin, and hummed, "Of course."
"That's a good boy."
Seeing the joy return to his eyes, Momo smiled helplessly. In some ways, he was no different from a child when it came to being serious.
She remembered that he had never been like this before.
Could it be that people can change?
Or did he reveal his true nature?
The girl had no idea; she knew that the stubborn man wouldn't tell her.
Around five o'clock, the temperature outside dropped, and the wind felt cool on the skin.
Momo sat in the passenger seat and could see the azure coastline in the distance.
At the edge of the sea, there is a huge, slightly protruding rock, like an unnamed island, but not quite that big.
On the Bourges coastal ring road, there were few tourists, and the black Ferrari supercar emitted a dull roar.
The man in the driver's seat was wearing sunglasses and looked quite relaxed, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting on the car window.
The car wasn't going fast, just enough for the little cat next to it to see the scenery clearly.
Momo rested her paws on the car window, leaned forward slightly, and lay there, looking more like a well-behaved cat.
The man driving the car would glance back at her every now and then.
The girl took a soft breath, and she could almost smell the seawater rushing towards her.
There was a faint fishy smell in the air; it was dry but not hot at all, but more than anything, it felt carefree and comfortable.
Unlike the Bruce Strait, this place is not as spectacular or crowded. The road along the sea is lined with greenery, making it look extremely refreshing.
She preferred this less-traveled place to the magnificent and bustling Bruce Way.
After about five minutes, the car stopped by the roadside. From here, you'll find the best spot to view the beach.
It's almost six o'clock, and the sunset is about to reach its peak.
With one hand in his pocket, Fu Yungui led the girl down the road and down the soft, fine sandy beach.
The man followed Momo's pace, walking extremely slowly, almost swaying forward.
The two faced the setting sun, the golden light falling entirely on their two exceptionally beautiful faces.
The man glanced at her sideways. "The scenery here is alright, isn't it?"
Momo turned to look at him, then smiled and nodded, "It's very beautiful and also very healing."
She felt that this place was perfect for people who were physically and mentally exhausted to come and rest, as the beautiful scenery in front of them would make them forget all their troubles.
Hearing this earnest answer, Fu Yungui couldn't help but smile. "After we get married, I'll take you to even more beautiful places."
She likes to see scenery, so he'll satisfy her desires anytime, anywhere. There's plenty of time later, so they can go anywhere.
Upon hearing the word 'marriage', the girl's face flushed, and she obediently replied, "Okay."
On the golden sand, the seawater rolls up layer by layer in the direction the wind blows, and then recedes.
Momo slightly broke free from the man's grasp, then squatted down, took off her shoes, and ran forward.
"Fu Yungui, I'll go ahead first and wait for you up there."
Her voice was raised, and anyone could hear her joy; her excitement was simply impossible to hide.
"Hmm." The man smiled and responded.
He stood there with his hands in his pockets, his gaze behind his sunglasses following the girl as she walked forward.
Her slender yet not flat figure, in the twilight, looked just like a cheerful little rabbit, hopping and skipping.
Playing in the water can be so much fun.
They're almost too easy to care for.
