Chapter 689: Doubt (4)
Shen Miao was discouraged. Xie Jingxing was not short of money, but he had given her so many expensive-looking jewellery. Did he really need to buy a batch of gorgeous clothes just for these jewellery? Even if he did, she would still find them cumbersome to wear.
After thinking about it, I think this jade double ring is the simplest. There is a needle hidden inside, so it looks relatively "simple".
Despite this, Luo Xueyan still praised the water head repeatedly.
It can only be said that the gift Xie Jingxing gave was just like him, he didn't know how to be low-key at all.
While she was slightly distracted, Su Mingfeng's expression became serious. Before Shen Miao could react, he grabbed Shen Miao's hand and said, "I'm sorry."
Shen Miao subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but Su Mingfeng held it tightly. Furthermore, he wasn't holding Shen Miao's wrist directly; there was a layer of sleeve between them, making the grip strangely tight. Shen Qiu and Luo Ling's eyes simultaneously turned cold, and Shen Qiu said, "Mr. Su, you're too reckless!"
Su Minglang's eyes widened. This was probably the first time he heard someone mention his elder brother, Meng Lang.
But Su Mingfeng had already quickly let go of his hand, and bowed to Shen Miao, saying: "I was rude just now, I'm sorry."
He didn't do anything after all, so Shen Miao couldn't possibly care about it. She just didn't know what Su Mingfeng had discovered. The next moment, she heard Su Mingfeng ask, "Excuse me, Fifth Miss, where did this tiger head ring on your hand come from?"
Shen Miao's heart skipped a beat. Luo Tan and the others were dumbfounded. Why would Su Mingfeng, a man, ask a woman where the ornaments on her hand came from?
Even Su Minglang looked at Su Mingfeng with a somewhat strange look.
Su Mingfeng remained unmoved and continued to look at Shen Miao seriously, seemingly waiting for an answer from Shen Miao very persistently.
Shen Miao came back to her senses and smiled, "I bought it from a traveling merchant who came from the ocean. He only said it was an imported product. I didn't expect that Master Su seemed to recognize it. Is this bracelet called a tiger head ring?"
Su Mingfeng looked a little disappointed for a moment, but he cheered up after a moment and said, "Yes, it's called the Tiger Head Ring. Miss Fifth, are you willing to give it up and sell it to me?"
"Ahem!" Luo Tan choked on his own saliva. The people of Dingjing City were so strange. The handsome young man in front of him actually liked buying women's jewelry. He'd heard that some wealthy families had some peculiar private habits, like collecting women's bellybands or applying women's rouge. It seemed this Young Master Su was into women's jewelry.
Su Minglang asked, "Brother, do you want to buy this tiger head ring for the girl you like?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiu and Luo Ling suddenly understood, and Luo Tan was also stunned. It turned out that he didn’t like it himself, but wanted to buy it for his beloved girl.
Shen Miao's thoughts raced, but she smiled slightly and said, "After all, these are my personal jewelry. Whether it's for sale or gift, it's always against the rules for them to be in the hands of a stranger. Besides, if Master Su wants to buy them for a girl he likes, he shouldn't give her jewelry that I've used. If Master Su is interested, I know there are several good sets of jewelry in Dingjing Treasure Pavilion that are much better than what I have."
It's come to this point, even my reputation is being brought up. What will others think if I give my own jewelry to a man outside of my family? No way!
Chen Qiu also nodded and said, "That's right." Since it concerns his sister's reputation, not a single piece of jewelry can be flawed.
Su Mingfeng could only smile awkwardly and said, "In that case, then I can only regret it." After saying a few more polite words, Su Mingfeng took Su Minglang and was about to say goodbye to Shen Miao and her group.
Just as he was about to leave, Su Mingfeng suddenly remembered something and looked towards Shen Miao. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Has Fifth Miss ever met the young marquis of the Xie family in the Lin’an Marquisate?”
