Chapter 181 Diamond
His change of subject caught me off guard.
Su Xia took a while to react before she remembered what Xu Jiqing was talking about.
During her high school years, she couldn't dress too flamboyantly due to school rules and regulations, but she would still secretly show off her beauty in places where the teachers couldn't see her:
She wore all kinds of hair ties and small jewelry, rolled up her skirt because it was too long, and put a tinted lip balm in her school uniform pocket to pretend she was bare-faced. Before going to the administrative building to find Xu Jiqing, she quickly took a sip of it in front of the window glass.
They were all girls, so He Miao could understand why she asked.
Xu Jiqing... doesn't look like the kind of person who would care about such a trivial detail as the bracelet.
Su Xia thought about it and tried to use a description that boys could understand. "The silver one, the one with the four-leaf clover?"
Su Xiaojuan gave it to her during the Chinese New Year when she was in the first year of high school.
She didn't think too much about it before, but later when she went out to make up lessons with Xu Jiqing, the more she looked at it, the more ostentatious it seemed to her, so she put it back into the jewelry box and has never taken it out again.
Xu Jiqing nodded.
"That's me," Su Xia took a sip from the soda can. "Later, I worked hard to study. I practiced and wrote papers every day. It was inconvenient with all the noise."
"Is it convenient now?"
Xu Jiqing asked.
Su Xia was quite confused, "...It's convenient."
Although he still has to work hard and study hard in order to graduate, if he likes it so much, it’s okay to put it on again next time he returns to Jiangcheng.
At most, it would leave a rumor among the interns in the same law firm that "his family has some money."
Small problems can be overcome.
Xu Jiqing suddenly stood up.
The good thing about a one-bedroom apartment is that you can move from one end to the door in just three or two steps.
He took his coat from behind the door and pulled out a light green velvet square box from his pocket. One corner was tied with a cross-shaped ribbon, which was a little flattened from being pressed. He hooked the bow on it and lifted it lightly.
When he turned back to the window and stopped in front of the desk.
Before Xu Jiqing could speak, Su Xia was so nervous that she blinked several times and her chest was pounding unconsciously.
What does he want to do...
This is only the second day after they reunited, why are they in such a hurry?
He won't be turning twenty-one until next month, and he's still a year away from turning twenty-two. Even if she agrees now, it seems useless. It's not like she's buying clothes and shoes online and can pre-order them...
The height difference between them was too great. Seeing him lower his head and shoulders, as if he was about to kneel on one knee like yesterday, Su Xia quickly stood up and said, "You... wait for me for a moment."
no.
What if this is a surprise he has been planning for a long time?
Even if she notices it, she should pretend not to notice and relax.
Su Xia didn't even bother to put on her slippers. She quickly walked back to Xu Jiqing's bedside, grabbed his only pillow, hugged it, and patted it. "Okay."
Xu Jiqing sat down where she had taken the photo, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he handed the box in his hand over.
"Try."
Su Xia took it, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and untied the neatly tied bow.
A full diamond five-flower bracelet from the same brand is quietly wrapped around the round black velvet lining.
There is also a bracelet next to it, which is also inlaid with square diamonds. It is gorgeous and sparkling, and it splashes out star-like light under the water-red sunset.
She looked at him for a long time without saying anything.
"The salesperson said it looks good when stacked."
Xu Jiqing opened his thin lips slightly, "I remember you had a similar one, so I went to look for it. Don't you like it?"
He knew very little about girls' clothes and jewelry.
It’s just that he thinks that good things are expensive.
Only the most precious things are worthy of appearing on her.
"I don't dislike..."
Su Xia's heart was pounding, and she unconsciously estimated the price of the two pieces of jewelry.
Gifts should be given according to the person.
The figure of 600,000 or 700,000 yuan is indescribably disconnected from Xu Jiqing's current living environment. It is no exaggeration to say that it can buy a house in his hometown.
"Can you tell me how much profit your project has made so far?"
"We got the angel round of investment last Christmas," Xu Jiqing looked at her, "and yesterday's round of A funding, which adds up to almost $30 million."
Su Xia was a little dumbfounded.
But after just a moment, she realized, "That's not just yours."
Xu Jiqing said, "I have saved some myself."
"How many?"
The jewelry box was held in Su Xia's palm, next to her legs. Xu Jiqing covered the back of her hand with his hand and pushed it gently, "These."
His ears felt hot as he looked at her smooth neck and earlobes, revealing a rare unnatural expression. "I'll give you something better in the future."
It wasn't anything special, but it was all he could give now.
He has never forgotten every word the girl's mother said to him many years ago.
A plain noodle and a bicycle were also good days, but she didn't have to accommodate him.
She was born the moon, so she will stay in the sky all her life.
Brilliant and carefree.
There is no need to support anyone's lofty ambitions, as you are destined to be rich.
It is what it should be.
"You should live within your means, don't you? How can you give a girl a gift like this..."
If Xu Jiqing were a male peacock, she had no doubt that he would pluck out every one of his beautiful tail feathers.
Su Xia's heart rate hadn't slowed down yet. She glanced at him and reminded him professionally, "Let me tell you, even in a divorce case, no matter how expensive the jewelry is, it will be considered the woman's personal property, and the man won't get a penny."
Xu Jiqing was stunned for a moment, her eyelashes slightly closed, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, "I know."
