Ye Chen did not return to the old house, but instead drove to a high-end jewelry store.
"Hello sir, how can I help you?"
As soon as he entered the jewelry store, he was greeted by a friendly sales assistant.
"Hello, I need to buy a necklace."
"Sir, this is the necklace section. Would you like to take a look and see if there's anything you like?"
"good."
Ye Chen looked down and scanned the various styles on the display case.
"Sir, who are you giving this to?"
"My girlfriend."
"Here are jewelry pieces from the Love collection. Please take a look."
Upon hearing that Ye Chen wanted to give the gift to his beloved, the sales assistant directed him to the jewelry section that featured interpretations of love.
At this moment, the sales assistant took out a clock flower necklace with a diamond pendant from the display case.
"Sir, what do you think of this one?"
Ye Chen looked in that direction.
There is no complicated design, just simple patterns.
The edges are inlaid with one pink diamond after another.
A shimmering light, gentle yet sophisticated.
The sales assistant continued, "This necklace would be the perfect gift for your girlfriend. Furthermore, the clock flower symbolizes your love and tender affection."
Ye Chen held the necklace in his hand and examined it carefully. Unlike other rose pendants, lily of the valley pendants, and peach blossom pendants, this clock flower necklace was quite unique.
"This necklace is a new product this season. There aren't many available, so it's unlikely you'll see someone else wearing the same one. Sir, would you like to consider it? I'm sure your girlfriend will love it."
Ye Chen imagined how Yun He would look wearing the necklace, and it suited her perfectly.
This is a perfect match for her.
So he made a decision.
"Let's choose this one."
"Okay, sir, I'll wrap it up for you right away."
The sales assistant smiled so broadly that her eyes crinkled when she saw that the sale was done.
Afterwards, Ye Chen followed her to the cashier to pay the bill.
He didn't even ask the price or look at it.
The sales assistants in the store wish they had more customers like that.
For Ye Chen, the price of the gifts he gave to Yun He was not important; it was all about the sentiment behind them.
"Sir, the total is [amount] yuan. Would you like to pay by card or other payment method?"
"Swipe your card."
Ye Chen took out his bank card and handed it to the sales assistant, then entered his PIN and paid.
"Sir, please keep your necklace safe. Welcome to visit us again."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Ye Chen accepted the gift bag from the sales assistant with both hands, and then walked out of the luxury jewelry store.
Watching Ye Chen's departing figure, the female employees in the store all gathered around, expressing their envy.
"That gentleman's girlfriend is so lucky. Not only is he handsome, but he's also very generous to his girlfriend. He can buy her a necklace without batting an eye."
"Yes, that's what happens when people have different fates."
"Look at some men who buy things for their girlfriends, they always pick the cheapest ones, that's what you call stingy."
"We also cannot generalize; we should only do what we are capable of."
"Forget it, this is our fate. We can only envy others."
After buying the necklace, Ye Chen drove back to the old house.
On the other side, Shallow Moon Bay.
Following Rong Jing's instructions, Assistant Xu found a capable female bodyguard for Su Yinwan.
When he brought the female bodyguard to Su Yinwan, Su Yinwan was stunned.
Why are they suddenly hiring someone to protect her? She's not some kind of high-priority individual.
Looking at the spirited female bodyguard in front of her, Su Yinwan made a phone call to Rong Jing.
"Ah Jing, Assistant Xu brought a female bodyguard to Shallow Moon Bay? What's going on?"
"Wanwan, she is the person who is specifically responsible for your personal safety. During this time, whether at home or outside, she will always be by your side."
"Huh? Why? I haven't provoked anyone, why would anyone want to hurt me?"
“Jiang Yubai is not as simple as you think. Now that you have fallen out with him, I’m afraid he might hurt you. You know, when a person loses control, anything can happen.”
“I can’t be by your side all the time. The people Xu Feng found for you will protect you, so I can rest assured.”
"Okay, sure."
If it were before, Su Yinwan would definitely have been angry and argued with Rong Jing if she knew he had spoken to Jiang Yubai like that.
But after seeing Jiang Yubai go berserk last time, she realized that she couldn't understand him anymore.
Either Jiang Yubai has changed, or Jiang Yubai has always been this way, just good at hiding it.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yinwan left her female bodyguard at Shallow Moon Bay.
After Assistant Xu left, she smiled and invited the female bodyguard to sit down, but was told that their statuses were different and it was inappropriate.
Seeing that she was so insistent on her principles, Su Yinwan stopped pressuring her.
"May I have your name?"
“My name is Ali.”
"Ah Li, that's a nice name, but doesn't she have a full name?"
"No, I lost both my parents when I was young. After being adopted by Master Long, he gave me this name, and I have been using it ever since."
"Excuse me, did I remind you of sad things from the past?"
"No, madam, I've gotten used to it. I don't care anymore about being an orphan. The fact that I'm still alive is the greatest happiness."
Ali has always been a man of few words, but Su Yinwan seemed much easier to talk to than her previous employers, and chatting with her felt just as comfortable as chatting with friends.
That's why she talked more today.
How old are you this year?
"25 years old."
