Chapter 87 Waiting for You
Shi Chengyu told Shen Chutang in advance the date when he would be leaving on a business trip abroad, but when the day of departure came, Shen Chutang still couldn't adapt and was reluctant to leave.
"Didn't you say you were leaving tomorrow? Why are you leaving a day early?"
"Is it really just three days?"
"Please come back in three days, otherwise I will be waiting anxiously."
"We're going to visit our new home next week, and we're also going to Star Island. Have you forgotten?"
Shen Chutang followed closely behind Shi Chengyu, walking back and forth in the cloakroom, pulling at his sleeves with a wronged look on his face.
Time was running out, and Shi Chengyu had just found his tie and jacket when he found the time to quickly kiss her on the forehead, "Tangtang, be good, three days at the earliest, four days at the latest."
"My second brother is back. Let him accompany you for the next two days. I will definitely try to come back as soon as possible, okay?"
"All right."
Shen Chutang responded somewhat reluctantly and took the tie from him, "Then I'll tie it for you."
"Okay." Shi Chengyu was afraid that she would get tired standing on tiptoe, so he bent his waist and lowered his head.
Shen Chutang concentrated on the movements of her hands. This was her first time doing it, so she did it slowly and carefully. She tied the knot and finally slowly tightened it to the right position.
"Okay!"
Shen Chutang looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, while Shi Chengyu looked down at her. It seemed that what he expected had already been realized. The softest part of his heart was touched again and again, making him feel happy.
"Tangtang, wait for me to come back." Shi Chengyu said in a low voice, with a solemn tone, as if he was making some kind of oath.
Shen Chutang snorted, "I can only wait for you for three days. If you come back late, I won't wait any longer. I will order all the furniture in the new house to be pink!"
Shi Chengyu laughed softly, and said one word in a long tone, "Okay."
"All is up to Tangtang."
Shen Chutang held his hand and walked him to the door, suppressing his reluctance, "Shi Chengyu, come back soon."
Shi Chengyu was silent for a while, and suddenly hesitant, but finally he replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Shen Chutang pushed him out the door, watched him walk away, and suddenly called him, "Shi Chengyu, I'll wait for you whenever you come back."
Shi Chengyu turned around and had the urge to rush over to hug her, but Shen Chutang had already turned around and walked into the house.
Both of them knew that if they kept procrastinating, the trip would probably be cancelled.
Shen Chutang understood that he had his own things to do, so he turned around decisively and never looked back.
As the car drove away, Shi Chengyu felt a mixture of anxiety and nervousness.
"Boss Shi, the arrangements on Starry Sky Island have been almost completed. We have also contacted the Rosold family, and they want you to go there in person."
Shi Chengyu put down his phone and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window. He felt a little depressed and breathless. "Okay, speed up everything and come back as soon as possible."
More than ten hours later, the plane landed. Shi Chengyu touched the tie around his neck, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and all the fatigue along the way was instantly swept away.
Lin Shulang: "Mr. Shi, do you want to go back to the hotel and change clothes first?"
"No need." Shi Chengyu looked at his watch, "Contact the Rosold family and tell them I'm on my way there."
Lin Shulang made a phone call in the passenger seat and made an appointment with them. It was an hour's drive, and Shi Chengyu sat in the back seat the entire time, watching the street scene outside rapidly receding.
The car stopped at the gate of the manor, Lin Shulang got out and opened the door, "Mr. Shi, we're here."
"The current head of the Rosold family is Duke Eric Rosold, who is also the person we will meet later."
Shi Chengyu nodded slightly, and the butler of the manor came forward to lead them into the castle, through the castle, and into a garden.
Lin Shulang was stopped, and the butler made a gesture of invitation to Shi Chengyu, "Our Duke only invited Mr. Shi."
Shi Chengyu nodded to Lin Shulan, indicating that he should wait here.
There is a long table in the garden, with an intricate tablecloth and luxurious utensils and plates on it, all of which highlight the owner's status.
Shi Chengyu followed the butler and stopped in front of a man. The man extended his hand to Shi Chengyu, "Hello, Mr. Shi."
Shi Chengyu was slightly surprised and shook hands with him. "Hello, Duke Rosold." He then asked, "Do you speak Chinese?"
"Yes," Rosold said, "I went to your country many years ago and lived there for several years."
"My men told me that you have something urgent to discuss with me?"
Shi Chengyu nodded and said frankly, "Yes, I heard that your family has a blue diamond collection."
Rosold was surprised by his straightforward answer and asked him with a frown, "You came all the way here just for this blue diamond?"
He shook his head in disapproval. "Mr. Shi, I thought you were a smart man. If you have any business matters to discuss, I would be happy to do so."
There were many people who wanted to meet him. Originally, such an ambitious young man came here because he wanted the two groups to join forces, but he didn't expect that it was just for a diamond. Rosold sighed in his heart.
Shi Chengyu understood what he was thinking, but he still said frankly, "Duke Rosold, I do want to cooperate with the Roshi Group, but I came here only for the blue diamond."
Rosold was a little confused. Although blue diamonds were rare, he didn't look like a money-grubber. He asked, "Why?"
"Because I want to use it to propose to my lover." Shi Chengyu said, with a subtle curve at the corner of his lips.
"Blue diamonds represent the everlasting love. According to legend, if lovers wear blue diamonds together, their souls will be bound together forever."
Rosold recovered from his shock and laughed, "Mr. Shi, that's just a legend."
"Duke Rosold, that's my lover." Shi Chengyu said in a deep voice, looking into Rosold's eyes.
"She's lucky then," said Rosoldier.
"No." Shi Chengyu refuted him firmly, "It's my luck."
Rosold was silent, looking at Shi Chengyu quietly. He knew that this was impolite, but at this moment he really wanted to see the expression on Shi Chengyu's face, a firm, persistent look, even one mixed with relief and love.
His sharp eyes could clearly tell that Shi Chengyu was not lying.
"Mr. Shi, I admire you very much," Rosold said, "but I won't give you the blue diamond easily."
The blue diamond has been passed down in their family for nearly a hundred years. Shi Chengyu's love is very touching, but it is not enough to make him give up the blue diamond.
It won't be given easily, it means it will be given, but it will be more difficult. Shi Chengyu had expected this and was mentally prepared.
"What do you need from me?"
Rosold pointed to the golf course in the distance and said, "I'm curious about your love story."
"Okay, it's my honor." Shi Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief. This was much easier than he expected and was not difficult at all.
