Chapter 39 This is truly a disaster.
Yan Zhao subconsciously looked at Wen Xi.
Wenxi: "..."
Don't look at her, she doesn't know either.
This is truly a disaster.
Lu Jinghuai looked at the general manager indifferently: "This wedding ring wasn't ordered by me; you've taken the wrong one."
The general manager immediately stepped forward. She had also guessed that Lu Jinghuai's diamond ring might not have been ordered for Miss Yan, and immediately changed her tune, saying, "Kelly must have misremembered!"
"This wedding ring was clearly ordered by Mr. Yun of Fuyuan, not by Mr. Lu!"
The general manager apologized repeatedly and quickly had the diamond ring taken away.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that only top-tier clients can order a diamond ring with such a large carat weight.
Even if everyone in the luxury store were blind or mentally challenged, they couldn't possibly make a mistake.
This was a misremembered sentence; it was merely a way to give Yan Zhao a way out.
Yan Zhao's face turned pale, and the joy she had shown when she came in was long gone. "I'm going to the restroom first."
Lu Jinghuai took her hand and said in a gentler tone, "If you don't like this store, just go to another one."
Yan Zhao looked up at him, her eyes filled with sadness, "Why should I go to another store?!"
Just because Wenxi is there, they're letting her move to another place?!
Yan Zhao stubbornly said, "I told you this is my favorite store, and I only want to buy from this store."
After saying that, she staggered toward the bathroom.
Lu Jinghuai sighed and followed after him.
Lu Jinghuai had long legs and caught up with Yan Zhao in just two steps.
Yan Zhao shook off his hand and looked at him sadly: "Don't touch me!"
Lu Jinghuai remained calm. "Do you want an explanation?"
Looking at his calm and handsome face, Yan Zhao was suddenly overcome with sorrow.
It turns out that marrying a man who doesn't love you is so painful.
More hurtful than the ring that didn't belong to her was Lu Jinghuai's calm expression afterward.
If the manager had brought out her and Shang Chen's wedding ring today, would Lu Jinghuai have even raised an eyebrow?
After all, he doesn't like her at all, and he's not jealous.
Lu Jinghuai: "A year ago, my family suspected that there was something wrong with my engagement to Wenxi, so I had my secretary order a wedding ring, mainly to show the receipt to my parents and dispel their suspicions."
"I forgot about this ring after I made it, I never expected it to be such a coincidence."
A tear rolled down Yan Zhao's cheek: "Yes, I never expected it to be such a coincidence."
Lu Jinghuai frowned slightly. "I'm sorry, this was my fault."
"It was your fault to begin with!"
Yan Zhao suddenly questioned, "Since you made the decision, why did you say you took the wrong one?"
Lu Jinghuai frowned deeply: "What else should I say? Admit it on the spot?"
In the situation just now, Lu Jinghuai could only offer a way out for both parties by saying that he had taken the wrong thing.
If the origin of that wedding ring were revealed, Yan Zhao would look bad and cause an even bigger scene.
"Yes, you bought it, why won't you admit it?"
"Do you still have feelings for Wenxi, but you're afraid that admitting it will embarrass her? Or you're afraid that Shang Chen will overthink it?!"
"What does this have to do with Wenxi? She doesn't even know this wedding ring exists."
Lu Jinghuai's expression turned slightly cold: "You're simply unreasonable!"
Lu Jinghuai didn't think that his admission of the wedding ring would embarrass Wen Xi and Shang Chen.
He and Wenxi had a marriage of convenience and no feelings for each other, so what was there for Wenxi to be embarrassed about?
"It's clearly your fault, but now you're blaming me for being unreasonable?!" Yan Zhao was both aggrieved and angry. "Lu Jinghuai, you've gone too far!"
Lu Jinghuai said coldly, "My mistake was that I forgot about the existence of this diamond ring, which led to its appearance embarrassing you."
"I admit to this."
"But you insist on asking me if I still have feelings for Wenxi. Isn't that just being unreasonable?"
Yan Zhao pressed on with only one question: "Then why won't you admit you bought the ring?!"
Lu Jinghuai retorted, "If I admit it, are you going to keep bothering me and questioning why I admitted it, making you feel embarrassed?"
"Yan Zhao, ask yourself honestly, did you want me to admit it back then?!"
Lu Jinghuai wasn't one to argue, and he was indeed in the wrong today.
But this is not a reason for Yan Zhao to be unreasonable and insist that she admit he still likes Wen Xi.
"But you just won't admit it." Yan Zhao wouldn't let it go: "Lu Jinghuai, you're just protecting Wen Xi!"
"You didn't dare admit the ring was yours, and now you don't dare admit you like Wenxi!"
Lu Jinghuai's face visibly darkened.
He never liked Wenxi in the first place, so why should he admit it?!
This is utterly baffling!
“Yan Zhao, I have never asked you about your past with Shang Chen, because the past is the past, and I don’t need to dwell on it.”
"If I still had feelings for Wenxi, I wouldn't have married you in the first place."
Although Lu Jinghuai and Wen Xi's engagement was fake, if he really liked Wen Xi, he would have married her long ago. There would be no chance for Shang Chen!
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhao immediately broke down in tears.
"Then ask me! I'll tell you everything you ask!"
But Lu Jinghuai didn't care about her at all, and he didn't care about her past with Shang Chen.
Lu Jinghuai said coldly, "Have I ever hidden anything from you?"
If you really want to find fault with one side, being honest is the most useless thing to do.
If you want to find even the slightest trace to prove that the other person doesn't love you, or that they have someone else in their heart, you can find fault with every past relationship.
If we really want to investigate, there's no point in continuing their marriage.
Lu Jinghuai felt that Yan Zhao was asking for trouble.
In the VIP room, Wenxi watched Lu Jinghuai's retreating figure as he chased after her when her hand was suddenly grasped.
She turned her gaze back to Shang Chen's calm and composed face.
Shang Chen: "Which one do you like?"
As it turned out, the ring didn't affect either of them in any way, let alone make them feel embarrassed.
Wen Xi sighed calmly, "My eyes are dazzled by all the choices, can you give me some advice?"
In the end, Shang Chen chose two diamonds.
One of them was a 10.8-carat purple-pink diamond, which Shang Chen took a liking to at first sight, and Wen Xi was also quite satisfied.
The other is a 15-carat rectangular step-cut green diamond, which Wenxi reserves her opinion on.
Wenxi: "Is there any significance to the weight of the purple-pink diamond?"
When the general manager mentioned the weight, Shang Chen reacted, showing that he had taken a liking to the diamond at first glance.
Shang Chen glanced at her and said, "We first met on October 8th."
Wenxi raised her hand and touched her nose, somewhat regretting asking that question.
It sounds like it's her fault?
She didn't dwell on the date of their first meeting.
Topics that could easily cause conflict between couples should be immediately changed.
Wen Xi asked without changing her expression, "What about the green diamond?"
Wenxi doesn't really like the cut design of the green diamond.
She felt that this cut was more suitable for making necklaces or bracelets.
Shang Chen succinctly stated: "Big enough."
It looks bigger than the diamond on the wedding ring that Lu Jinghuai ordered, and that's enough.
This was a choice Shang Chen made on short notice.
He certainly won't admit he's jealous, because that would make him seem petty.
Wenxi hadn't guessed his thoughts either, and asked in confusion, "What about even bigger ones?"
"It's too big and it'll strain your hands."
It weighs fifteen grams, which is larger than the wedding ring Lu Jinghuai ordered, but it won't tire your hand too much; it's just right.
