Chapter 13 Was that lady who just bought... a men's ring?
What normal person would abandon their fiancée alone on a mountaintop late at night just because of a phone call from their ex?
And it was also someone's birthday that day.
Then he accompanied his ex to a follow-up appointment, and his fiancée chased after him. He was still protecting his ex in front of her. What woman wouldn't be angry and yell at him in that situation?
"Wait a minute," Chen Jin asked, "did you properly apologize and make amends to the person you abandoned on the mountain that time?"
Shen Yichen said, "I originally wanted to let her calm down and then talk to her again in a few days, but I didn't expect her to cause a scene at the hospital today."
Chen Jin looked at him like he was an idiot. "So... you haven't tried to coax her at all these past few days? You haven't even apologized to her properly?"
“I called her the next morning to coax her, but she didn’t answer the phone all morning. When she finally answered, she said things like ‘let’s break up’ to upset me.”
What angered Shen Yichen the most was that she threatened to break up with him.
“I don’t know when she became so unreasonable. She’s been arguing with me several times in the past month.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jin was utterly speechless.
"So what exactly is going on between you and Zhou Siyan?"
Shen Yichen paused in his hand holding the wine glass, then said evasively, "She won't affect my marriage to Shuzhi."
Chen Jin sized him up, frowning. "From what you're saying... you're planning to marry one person and keep another on the side?"
Shen Yichen neither confirmed nor denied, and after a moment of silence, he said, "In short, I will give the position of Mrs. Shen to Shuzhi."
"You're just taking advantage of her liking you, so keep acting like this," Chen Jin shook his head and sighed.
"You'll know you'll regret it when people are completely disappointed in you and don't want you anymore."
“She won’t,” Shen Yichen said confidently.
"That's right. When you lost your sight and were kicked out of the Shen Group by your second uncle, you were depressed and frustrated. She never abandoned you and took care of you and encouraged you in every way. She was truly devoted to you."
Not for power or money, but for him as a person.
Chen Jin patted him on the shoulder and kindly advised, "So, brother, don't let him down."
Mentioning the events of that year, Shen Yichen's expression softened. "Once she's calmed down after this outburst, I'll go with her to get our marriage certificate."
Let her become a real Mrs. Shen.
"But you can't always let people deal with their emotions on their own."
Chen Jin said, "Girls need to be coaxed and pampered. You have to take the initiative to find her and sincerely apologize before she will calm down."
Shen Yichen took a sip of his wine. "I know what I'm doing."
——
The next afternoon, Shi Yuanxing received a phone call and then told Qin Shuzhi that he had to go out for a while.
Qin Shuzhi quickly replied, "Okay, I happen to have an appointment with 13 this afternoon, so I need to go out too."
One or three?
Shi Yuanxing was stunned for a moment before he realized, "That Miss Qi?"
"right."
Because "Yishan" sounds like "Yisan" in Chinese, Qin Shuzhi always called her "Yisan".
Shi Yuanxing said, "I said last time I would treat her to a meal, do you think we should treat her to dinner tonight?"
"Okay," Qin Shuzhi said happily. "I'll talk to her about it later."
"Okay, you can decide on the location. Just let me know on WeChat later."
"Mmm." Qin Shuzhi nodded.
"What time are you leaving? I'll take you there."
Qin Shuzhi said, "No need, you go and do your thing. Yi Sanyi will come to pick me up later."
"good."
Half an hour after Shi Yuanxing left, Qi Yishan's car arrived downstairs.
The two arrived at the mall and went straight to a low-end luxury jewelry store that focused on design.
Watching Qin Shuzhi carefully selecting a ring, Qi Yishan couldn't help but ask, "Your husband, Mr. Shi, isn't even preparing a wedding ring for his wedding?"
"We got married in a rush, how could we possibly prepare everything?" Qin Shuzhi's eyes remained fixed on the various rings in front of her.
Qi Yishan: "Even so, he should still be the one to buy the ring."
"We're husband and wife, it doesn't matter who buys it."
Qin Shuzhi pointed to one of them and asked her, "What do you think of this one?"
Just as Qi Yishan was about to express her opinion, she heard her best friend answer her own question, "This one is simple and elegant, I think he will like it."
Qi Yishan: "..."
Then why are you asking for my opinion?
She pouted and complained, "I think you should choose with him, instead of me being treated like a tool."
Qin Shuzhi said, "I wanted to give him a surprise."
The key point is that if he had come with Shi Yuanxing, he definitely wouldn't have let her pay the bill.
"Wow, what a display of affection!"
Qi Yishan gave a look that said "I can't bear to look," paused, and then asked curiously, "Do you know what size he wears?"
Qin Shuzhi leaned closer and whispered mysteriously, "I secretly measured it with my hair tie last night while watching the movie."
"..."
That's very thoughtful of you.
Qi Yishan gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Shi is truly blessed to have married you."
Unfortunately, her scumbag brother was unlucky and couldn't hold onto such a treasure.
Qin Shuzhi compared many models, but in the end she chose the one that caught her eye at first glance and that she liked the most.
Luckily, the store had my travel ring in stock, and after I paid, the clerk went to the warehouse to get it.
Qi Yishan had just shown off a cup of milk tea when she said, "I'm going to the restroom. We'll meet outside in a bit."
"good."
While waiting for the ring, Qin Shuzhi took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Shi Yuanxing.
[Yi San is so happy to know you're taking her out to dinner tonight.]
They even praised you.
Shi Yuanxing replied in less than three seconds.
Really? What did you say to me?
Qin Shuzhi praised you, saying, "You're handsome and trustworthy."
Shi Yuanxing: [Oh~ I thought you were praising my good taste in marrying such a beautiful and outstanding wife.]
Upon seeing these words, Qin Shuzhi felt as if something had gently stirred his heart, causing a ripple to appear unintentionally.
Chen Jin, who came specifically to pick up jewelry for his mother, immediately spotted Qin Shuzhi sitting on the sofa with her head down, texting as soon as he entered the store.
A shy smile graced her face, and her gaze as she stared at her phone held an indescribable tenderness.
"Shuzhi?"
He went up to greet him.
Qin Shuzhi looked up and saw Chen Jin, and was stunned for a moment.
Chen Jin smiled and said, "It really is you! It's been a long time."
Because of Shen Yichen, Qin Shuzhi and Chen Jin would occasionally meet. Chen Jin was always friendly and polite to her, so even though she had fallen out with Shen Yichen, Qin Shuzhi did not feel any aversion towards him.
He immediately stood up to greet her, "It has been quite a while."
Chen Jin asked with some curiosity, "What brings you here...?"
Qin Shuzhi frankly said, "I'm here to buy a ring."
"ring?"
Chen Jin was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to ask something, a shop assistant came over with a shopping bag and handed it to Qin Shuzhi with both hands.
"Madam, your ring has been packed up."
"Thank you." Qin Shuzhi accepted it.
The salesperson added, "You can have your husband try it on when you get home. If the size isn't right, you can bring it back anytime to have it altered."
Qin Shuzhi: "Okay."
Her husband?
Before Chen Jin could recover from those words, he saw Qin Shuzhi nod politely to him, "Then I'll be going now, bye-bye."
"...Okay, bye-bye."
Chen Jin watched her leave before asking the shop assistant, "Was that lady buying... a men's ring?"
"No, that lady bought a pair of wedding rings."
"A wedding ring?" Chen Jin's eyes widened.
"Yes, that lady must love her husband very much; she's been looking at things here for quite a while."
Is she here to buy a wedding ring?
Then I remembered seeing Qin Shuzhi chatting with someone on her phone when I came in, looking shy and happy. It was clearly the expression of someone communicating with someone they liked.
She recalled what Shen Yichen had said last night: that they would get their marriage certificate once she calmed down.
Chen Jin suddenly realized what was going on.
so--
Did Yichen listen to his advice last night and take the initiative to coax her back today?
