Chapter 38 This wedding ring wasn't for her.
Wenxi slept very soundly and didn't wake up until eight o'clock in the morning.
When he woke up, Shang Chen was already having breakfast in the restaurant downstairs.
"morning."
Shang Chen: "Did you sleep well last night?"
"It's great." Wenxi pulled out a chair and sat down. "I haven't slept this soundly in a long time."
Shang Chen: "No more overtime from now on?"
"It depends, but it won't be as busy."
Wenxi took a sip of porridge, and her stomach felt warm and cozy, which improved her mood considerably.
She then asked, "What time is the train?"
"This afternoon," Shang Chen said, "we'll take a plane."
Wenxi didn't ask any further questions and focused on eating her breakfast: "Why did you change the time?"
Shang Chen said calmly, "Something came up and I had to postpone it. We can go and look at wedding rings this morning."
Wenxi then remembered this matter.
She had promised Shang Chen to go pick out wedding rings a month ago, but then she suddenly had to work overtime and forgot about it.
She immediately agreed when Shang Chen mentioned it.
"I'll change my clothes after I finish eating."
Shang Chen: "No rush."
Wenxi is always quick and efficient. Since she was going to look at wedding rings with Shang Chen today, she didn't wear a business suit. Instead, she chose a brown sweater to pair with an A-line long skirt and a lighter-colored woolen trench coat with a strong sense of design.
Her thick hair was pulled up and held in place with a rhinestone shark clip, revealing her superior skull and facial features.
She was elegant and aloof, with a touch of refinement in her eyes and brows.
She came downstairs carrying her bag and saw Shang Chen staring at her with dark eyes. "Isn't this outfit nice?"
Shang Chen glanced at Wen Xi and said, "She's beautiful."
Wen Xi raised an eyelid, feeling a little uncomfortable from Shang Chen's serious praise: "Then what are you looking at?"
"It's a bit cold, wear a scarf."
Wenxi didn't think much of it: "Okay, I'll go upstairs and look for it."
When Wenxi came downstairs wearing a scarf, her gaze swept over Shang Chen and then suddenly stopped.
Shang Chen wore a black knee-length trench coat today, with a gray scarf around his neck. He had a tall and slender figure and a calm and composed demeanor.
The scarf around his neck was a matching pair with hers; they were the two scarves her mother had knitted by hand.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence."
Shang Chen looked at her.
Wenxi tugged at her scarf: "A couple's set."
Shang Chen remained silent for a moment, avoiding the question, but said, "You look good in it."
It made her skin look like white jade.
Wenxi wondered what Shang Chen's expression would be if she told him, "It doesn't look good on you."
Will a hint of surprise flash across that serious and composed handsome face?
Will he secretly hold his breath again, deliberately finding an opportunity to ask her the reason?
Wenxi didn't tease Shang Chen any further and calmly said, "Let's go."
Before getting into the car, Wenxi whispered to Shang Chen, "Next time you want me to wear a matching scarf, you can just say so."
She never refuses Shang Chen's reasonable requests.
Before Wenxi could get into the car, Shang Chen grabbed her wrist.
His palms were large and thick, and a little warm. "I don't like wearing scarves, this is the only one I have."
When Shang Chen wore his wedding ring last time, he said he didn't like being restricted, and the same goes for scarves.
Wenxi: "So it was a misunderstanding?"
"It's not a misunderstanding." Shang Chen's face was deep-set, his eyebrows and eyes serious, and he said in a serious tone, "We are husband and wife, it's normal for us to wear matching outfits."
Wen Xi nodded: "That's perfectly normal."
It's just that Mr. Shang, being a bit of a repressed flirt, is unwilling to say it directly, making people want to tease him and see how he breaks down.
However, it would be a bit pointless for Shang Chen to actually say that he wanted to wear matching scarves with Wen Xi.
Wenxi could picture him speaking in a very formal and methodical manner, like a human-machine interface.
Upon arriving at the jewelry store, someone was already waiting at the door to welcome Wenxi and Shangchen into the store.
In the VIP room, boxes of gemstones and diamond rings filled the table, along with several diamond catalogs.
The jewelry store's regional general manager diligently introduced each diamond and gemstone to Wenxi.
Large diamonds and gemstones are generally not easily displayed for sale in stores; customers usually order the diamond first, and then the design is done.
Wenxi flipped through the photo album for a while, then glanced at Shang Chen: "Is there anything you like?"
Wenxi isn't particularly interested in jewelry or bags. For her, she'll buy a batch whenever she wants to use them, mix and match them, and as long as she doesn't lack them, that's fine.
With so many colorful and diverse diamonds displayed in front of her, she felt a little overwhelmed by the choices.
Shang Chen listened attentively, occasionally asking a question.
Wenxi suddenly mentioned, "By the way, Shang Ze sent me a message this morning, saying he wants to entrust me with a case."
Shang Chen raised his eyes, stared at Wen Xi for a moment, and then said, "Today we're getting engaged, so let's not mention anyone else."
Wenxi: "You're right."
Does Shang Ze know that he is someone else in his brother's eyes?
As soon as Wenxi finished speaking, the door to the VIP room was pushed open.
Yan Zhao walked in happily, holding Lu Jinghuai's hand.
Four pairs of eyes met, and there was a moment of silence before Yan Zhao broke the silence first: "Sister Wenxi, are you here to buy jewelry too?"
Wen Xi nodded slightly: "Engagement ring."
"I used to love ordering jewelry from this store. Brother Shang knows that too. He's the one who brought you here to choose your wedding ring, right?"
Yan Zhao said those words without thinking.
Of course, maybe she overthought it a bit, wanting to appear close to Shang Chen and spite Wen Xi?
Wen Xi glanced at Lu Jinghuai beside her and nodded seriously: "You come here often?"
If she were to say that she also comes here often, would Yan Zhao be so angry that she would cry and have another argument with Lu Jinghuai?
Wenxi thought about Shang Chen beside her and decided not to tease Yan Zhao anymore.
Yan Zhao realized that what she said was inappropriate and subconsciously looked at Lu Jinghuai beside her.
"Jinghuai, that's not what I meant..."
Fortunately, Lu Jinghuai was a respectable person, and his expression remained normal. "Let's take a look at the ring first."
Just then, the deputy manager came forward with a tray, smiling, and said, "Mr. Lu, the ring you ordered last time has arrived. Please take a look and see if it suits your taste. If there are any problems, we can make some modifications."
Yan Zhao looked at Lu Jinghuai in surprise, "Jinghuai, when did you order the ring?!"
She thought this was a surprise from Lu Jinghuai.
Lu Jinghuai's expression was inscrutable.
Wenxi glanced at the ring set with a huge purple-pink diamond and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Her favorite color is purple.
A year ago, Lu Zhi chatted with her to inquire about news and suddenly revealed that the wedding ring had been ordered, and asked her when she would marry Lu Jinghuai.
At the time, Wenxi thought Lu Zhi was joking and testing her, and didn't take it seriously.
After all, both she and Lu Jinghuai understood the nature of their engagement.
Upon seeing this wedding ring, Wenxi suddenly recalled this past event.
The heaviest publicly known pure purple diamond in the world is only a little over two grams, which is too small to be suitable for a wedding ring.
This nearly ten-carat purplish-pink diamond ring is considered a rare find, and usually needs to be custom-made in advance.
A year...that's about right.
Could Lu Jinghuai have really ordered wedding rings for them?!
Lu Jinghuai glanced at the deputy manager and was about to ask her to take the ring off when Yan Zhao happily took off the diamond ring and tried it on.
Lu Jinghuai couldn't stop him in time.
After Yan Zhao put it on, she was stunned for a moment: "It's a little small."
The next second, her face went from rosy to snow-white.
She realized that the wedding ring Lu Jinghuai had ordered wasn't for her.
