"OK!"
Xiao Chong'an was still angry because Yun Qing didn't know what was good for her, so he readily agreed to Wu Yue's suggestion.
As for whether his close interaction with other women in public would cause gossip or be overheard by his fiancée whom he had never met, none of that was on his mind.
Or rather, even if he had thought of these things, he wouldn't care. The one he liked wasn't that arrogant young lady from the Yun family. Since the engagement was going to be called off anyway, if she heard the rumors and wisely returned the token, it would be a good thing.
The two strolled around and came to a jade shop.
"When Clouds Rise? That's a rather elegant name. But when did it open? I don't know about it."
She was talking to herself in front of the Wuyue Station shop, her words and actions were very charming and cute.
Xiao Chong'an was suddenly filled with a sense of pride, and a calm smile appeared on his face.
"Since you're curious, let's go inside and take a look. If there's anything you like, I'll give it to you."
A huge surprise flashed in Wu Yue's eyes, but it was only for a moment before she concealed her expression.
"How could I possibly accept such an expensive gift? We're not related at all."
"Don't be so formal. Our friendship of three years as classmates cannot be measured by a mere jade ornament."
Since Xiao Chong'an had already put it this way, Wu Yue naturally couldn't refuse any longer, so she went along with it and said, "In that case, I'll respectfully accept your offer."
The two went inside together, and the manager standing at the counter quickly came to greet them.
"Hello, gentlemen! Let me introduce it to you, or you can take a look for yourselves."
"Let's take a look ourselves first, and then you can come over if there's anything you don't understand."
"OK."
As soon as Wu Yue entered the room, she was attracted by a cabinet of jade bracelets on the left. Although her family was not extremely wealthy, her mother and grandmother both had ancestral jewelry.
Therefore, she also knew something about this. The jade bracelets in this shop were obviously not ordinary. The clarity and color indicated that they were made from high-quality material.
As she slowly walked to the glass display window, her eyes were immediately drawn to a crystal-clear white jade bracelet. Under the natural light, the bracelet looked breathtakingly beautiful.
Her obvious liking for it was immediately apparent to Xiao Chong'an, who smiled and said, "You like this one? Shopkeeper, wrap it up."
The manager walked up to them, looked at the bracelet he was pointing to, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, this bracelet has already been reserved. You can see the words on the side; it says so."
The two looked closely and then noticed a small "订" (ding, meaning order) mark on the velvet fabric beneath the bracelet.
Wu Yue was extremely disappointed: "Then let's just forget about it."
Seeing her heartbroken expression, Xiao Chong'an instantly flew into a rage: "What's going on with you? Why are you still displaying jewelry that has already been ordered?"
"Young master, I'm so sorry, but this bracelet was made from newly arrived material. We have one piece left over, enough to make a similar one, so we're just displaying it here for now, planning to replace it once the other one is finished. If you two are willing, you can order that one."
After listening to the manager's explanation, Xiao Chong'an calmed down.
"Wu Yue, what do you think?"
Faced with Xiao Chong'an's question, Wu Yue fell silent for a moment, not wanting to settle for second best.
It's obvious that, although the manager said the two bracelets were about the same size, the one made first was definitely the best one.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her.
