Chapter 203 Preparing for the Wedding
Wei Chenglu seemed to be walking out while talking, "Oh, by the way, I've finished the Chinese medicine you prescribed for me last time. Do I need to get a few more?"
"Well, you'll need to continue drinking it for about half a month. I suggest you get your body in good shape first."
Ruan Chuxia explained patiently.
Wei Chenglu nodded, even though Ruan Chuxia couldn't see it on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll go catch it when I have time."
Ruan Chuxia paused, her tone turning gentle, "Sister Chenglu, Zhiyu and I plan to hold a wedding in the capital after the New Year. If you are free, you must come and attend."
"Oh, that's great, congratulations..." Wei Chenglu's tone was filled with genuine joy, but then he hesitated, "But on my side, it depends on the situation. I may not be able to spare the time."
As soon as she returned to her hometown this time, she was surrounded by her aunts and uncles, who asked her about finding a partner and urged her to have a baby, which made her very irritable. Naturally, she didn't dare to say anything too firm.
"Okay, I'll call you once I've confirmed the specific time."
Ruan Chuxia understood her situation and didn't ask any further questions.
Wei Chenglu seemed relieved as well. "Um... By the way, Xiao Ruan, I want to ask you something."
Her tone suddenly became hesitant. "While I'm taking Chinese medicine...can I get pregnant?"
She spoke the last few words quickly and quietly, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.
"It's possible. Do you feel any discomfort or any symptoms similar to early pregnancy?"
Ruan Chuxia's tone was gentle but professional.
"……No."
There was silence for a moment. "I just... wanted to give myself some hope."
The other end of the line suddenly became noisy, mixed with the loud voices of several women. Wei Chenglu's tone suddenly became anxious: "Okay, Xiao Ruan, I'm hanging up first... They're calling me over for dinner."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.
As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone without hesitation, without giving Ruan Chuxia even the slightest chance to respond.
Ruan Chuxia held the receiver and heard a busy tone in her ears. She felt a mixture of emotions in her heart, and she couldn't describe what the feeling was. It was like loss, and like something was pressing on her chest.
During this period, the Xiao family has indeed become a lot more lively, with the festive atmosphere of wedding preparations everywhere.
As the heads of the family, Xiao's father and mother are busy taking care of Xiaojun, and at the same time they have to take care of complicated matters such as booking banquets, choosing hotels, and preparing invitations.
Mrs. Min at home was also busy. She was in the kitchen all day, making preparations for a big reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.
As for Ruan Chuxia, Xiao Zhiyu has recently frequently dragged her to various jewelry stores just to choose a wedding ring that symbolizes love and commitment.
According to him, if a Western-style wedding is missing the exchange of rings, it would be like forgetting to bring toilet paper. It is not only ridiculous but also very incomplete.
Although Ruan Chuxia felt a little helpless, she could not resist his repeated insistence and had to obediently accompany him around the city.
Moreover, this man's standards were indeed too high. He visited several jewelry shops in succession, but none of them caught his eye and he couldn't choose a satisfactory ring.
Although Ruan Chuxia also felt that the designs of those rings were a bit old-fashioned and not in line with modern aesthetics, after walking all the way, her feet began to feel sore and her shoes were rubbing against her feet.
But Xiao Zhiyu was determined to achieve his goal and would not go home until he found the ideal ring.
Ruan Chuxia finally couldn't help but complain: "What kind of ring are you looking for?"
"I can't really put my finger on it right now, but I can tell at a glance that none of them are worthy of you."
Xiao Zhiyu looked at her with a serious look as if he was identifying a priceless treasure.
Today, she is wearing a neatly cut smoky gray coat, a simple yet stylish belt around her waist, and a pair of black pointed leather boots. She looks particularly capable yet gentle.
A beige velvet scarf was casually wrapped around her neck, rising and falling gently with her light breathing, adding a touch of gentleness to her temperament.
She stood in the sun, like a female star from a film or TV show, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
I don't know how many passers-by's attention I attracted along the way, especially the clerks in the jewelry store, who cast curious and envious glances at me from time to time.
Ruan Chuxia pondered for a while, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Why don't we go to the Friendship Shopping Mall and have a look?"
"I remember there was a gold shop there. It was very grandly decorated and the designs were pretty good."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhiyu did not object and nodded in agreement.
The two drove to the Friendship Shopping Mall, where the Shuguang Gold Shop is one of the largest and most well-known gold jewelry stores in the area.
It is said that this shop was invested and opened by a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong. Both its design and service are a level higher than those of ordinary gold shops.
At this time of year, factories and companies are on holiday, and everyone has free time to shop, so the store is particularly popular.
Almost all of them were young couples, walking in and out hand in hand, choosing wedding gold jewelry with sweet eyes. The air seemed to be filled with the joy of happiness.
As soon as Ruan Chuxia and Xiao Zhiyu walked into the jewelry store, they instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Not only are they well-dressed, but their behavior is also very coordinated. They are simply an enviable couple!
Ruan Chuxia held her head high and chest out, looking straight ahead, her leather boots making crisp "tapping" sounds, her steps full of rhythm, as if she was walking on a red carpet of her own.
Xiao Zhiyu didn't look around, but took her directly to the row of counters selling the most gold in the store.
After a closer look, it is indeed the design craftsmanship of Hong Kong City. It is much more fashionable than the styles I have seen before. Both the workmanship and details are eye-catching.
Originally, the two of them just planned to look at rings, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zhiyu found that several pieces of jewelry on the counter were very exquisite, and some even caught his eye at first sight.
Without hesitation, he puffed out his chest and said, "Xiao Xia, tell me which one you like, and I'll buy them all!"
These words made the salesperson standing nearby so happy that a smile immediately appeared on his face.
The salesperson quickly pulled out several glittering jewelry boxes from the counter and, as she handed them out, she introduced them with a smile, "My dear guests, this series is our store's signature piece. They are all handcrafted by our experienced craftsmen, and each piece is extremely precious."
Ruan Chuxia's attention was quickly attracted by a necklace.
She looked at the necklace carefully. It was carved with intricate and detailed patterns. The whole necklace looked very thick and heavy, probably weighing several taels.
Although the necklace is beautifully designed, it may feel a bit heavy when worn around the neck, and may even bend the neck.
