Chapter 29 Only the Ring is Missing
His meaningful words made my heart beat wildly. Does he want to be with me forever?
But what about his family?
Although he has a daughter, he should be divorced. Maybe his daughter is with her mother. Maybe he is being cuckolded?
This idea makes me a little excited. Yes, it must be like this.
Although this idea is not kind, I really hope that Comrade Lao Xiao is cuckolded.
The daughter lives with her mother, so the conversation between him and her sounds a bit distant. Of course, they can't be close if they are not biological children.
Xiao Shiqiu would never have thought that, even though he didn't say anything, I had already imagined for him a divorce drama of a wealthy couple with grievances and hatred.
Before we knew it, we had arrived at the restaurant. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you can see all kinds of seafood in the fish tank, all of which are alive.
There are colorful lobsters, fish with strange shapes but beautiful colors, and shellfish of various colors in the fish tank. I have the illusion of visiting an aquarium.
Seeing that I was just staring at them and didn't say what I wanted to eat, Xiao Shiqiu smiled and asked, "Are you planning to just admire them or eat them?"
"You can have some. I have difficulty making choices. It's a pity that such beautiful fish will be eaten."
"Then let's try the beautiful fish and see if it tastes better." He quickly ordered the dishes and the waiter took us to the private room.
He seemed to sense my improved mood, "What did you think of? You seem to be in a good mood."
"Yeah," I agreed with him, "There are fun things to do, delicious food, and someone will buy me a necklace soon. It will make anyone feel good."
He held my hand and looked into my eyes lovingly. I knew my eyes were beautiful, big, bright, with long eyelashes, and looked like a doll's eyes.
My mother told me since I was a child that my eyes are so beautiful and I must take good care of them.
Other children in the class gradually became nearsighted, but thanks to my mother's strict supervision, my eyesight has always remained good.
During the summer vacation of my senior year in high school, I wanted to learn from others and wear colored contact lenses, but my mother scolded me severely. I had never seen her so angry before. She succeeded in scaring me, and I gave up the idea of wearing colored contact lenses.
"You are staring at me like that because you think my eyes are pretty?" I winked at him exaggeratedly.
"Haha, yes, your eyes are the most beautiful and cleanest eyes I have ever seen." He did not hesitate to praise her.
The brief depression just now seemed to have passed, and neither of us mentioned the phone call again.
After lunch, our driver, Xiao Song, took us to the International Shopping Center in City N, where the Cartier counter was on the first floor.
The lady at the counter welcomed us warmly and kept introducing different styles of necklaces to me.
Seeing that I had tried on several styles but hadn't yet decided on one, he couldn't help but say to me, "Why don't you buy all the ones you like so you can wear something different every day?"
Other girls would probably be completely defenseless when hearing such words, but I felt awkward and even a little unreasonable and angry. "Do you think it's a waste of time to accompany me to choose a necklace?"
He frowned and said, "Oh, that's unreasonable. Fine, I'll stay with you for as long as you like while you choose. Besides the necklace, you can also pack up other jewelry if you like. The jewelry here is not expensive, so you don't have to save money for me."
His words made the salesgirl's eyes sparkle. She looked at me with envy, jealousy, and some subtle contempt.
I finally settled on a minimalist necklace in warm rose gold with just one round, flower-shaped diamond in the center.
"I want this one, and I want to wear it now." I handed him the necklace, and he helped me put it on while saying, "Anything else you like? Earrings? Bracelets? Pick out a few more?"
I noticed that he didn't mention the ring at all, and I felt a little depressed for no reason.
