Chapter 5 "Are you not used to me, or are you not used to holding hands?"
Xu Heyi drove straight to the nearby commercial plaza.
During this period, Jiang Nuanzhu called Mr. Jiang.
When Mr. Jiang heard that the two had successfully obtained their marriage certificate, he was happy for a long time. He used his mobile phone to send her a big red envelope and told her to live a good life with Xu Heyi.
Jiang Nuanzhu's originally uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
Xu Heyi held the steering wheel, looked at Jiang Nuanzhu through the rearview mirror, and said slowly: "Grandpa gave me a big red envelope."
Jiang Nuanzhu didn't react for a moment and thought that Xu Heyi's grandfather had sent him a red envelope.
"Grandpa Xu really loves you."
Xu Heyi laughed deeply, "Grandpa really loves me."
It took Jiang Nuanzhu a while to realize that he might be talking about his grandfather.
She was stunned for a moment, "When did you add my grandfather's WeChat?"
"I used to often go to learn calligraphy from Mr. Fu, and Mr. Jiang was there occasionally."
Mr. Fu is Mr. Jiang’s best friend and an internationally renowned master of calligraphy. He lives across the street from Mr. Jiang.
The two old men like to visit each other when they have nothing to do.
Jiang Nuanzhu: "So you and grandpa have known each other for a long time."
No wonder Grandpa's words showed his satisfaction with Xu Heyi.
When they reached the top floor, Jiang Nuanzhu vaguely guessed what Xu Heyi was talking about.
——Wedding ring.
As soon as I entered the jewelry store, a gentle voice rang out: "Welcome, what would you like to see?"
When Jiang Nuanzhu raised her eyes, she met Feng Nuan's smiling face, and watched quietly as Feng Nuan performed a smile-disappearing trick.
"Why are you here!?"
Feng Nuan's tone was far less gentle than yesterday, and was filled with hostility.
Glancing at the tall and handsome Xu Heyi, Feng Nuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she pretended to be concerned and said, "Ms. Jiang, you are a woman with a fiancé after all. Shouldn't you keep a certain distance from other men?"
Jiang Nuanzhu looked normal. She glanced at the nameplate on Feng Nuan's chest and asked, "Ms. Feng, why are you here?"
Feng Nuan forced a smile and said, "I work here. After all, not everyone is as lucky as Miss Jiang, with a good family background and such an outstanding fiancé."
Feng Nuan felt that Jiang Nuanzhu was asking questions even though she knew the answer and was deliberately mocking her.
Jiang Nuanzhu nodded slightly, acting very politely. "Miss Feng, since you are an employee of the store, shouldn't you do what an employee should do? Less prying into customers' privacy and more serving customers?"
A blush appeared on Feng Nuan's fair face, and her eyes turned red unconsciously, as if she had been bullied by Jiang Nuanzhu.
"Miss Jiang doesn't like me..."
Xu Heyi suddenly spoke in a calm voice: "Where is your manager?"
His voice was not loud, but there was a deep nobility in his bones.
Feng Nuan was about to explain when a beautiful and capable woman pushed her aside and stepped forward.
"Mr. Xu, this is Manager Zhang Meng. I received a call from your assistant a while ago. Everything you requested is ready. Would you like to go and see it now?"
Xu Heyi nodded slightly, raised his hand, held Jiang Nuanzhu's hand, and led her inside.
Their skin touched, their fingertips were wrapped, Jiang Nuanzhu was slightly startled, and a sense of tension spread in her heart.
Jiang Nuanzhu's body stiffened slightly, and she let Xu Heyi lead her into the VIP reception room.
All three of them ignored Feng Nuan at the door. Feng Nuan was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Turning around and seeing Jiang Nuanzhu and Xu Heyi holding hands, Feng Nuan's first reaction was to widen her eyes, followed by a secret joy.
Jiang Nuanzhu was actually hooking up with a man outside without Yan Shi's knowledge!
Feng Nuan subconsciously took out her cell phone and prepared to call Yan Shi to tip him off.
Before the phone even reached her ear, she suddenly took it away.
No, there's no use telling me now.
The Jiang and Yan families' marriage is a business one. Even if Jiang Nuanzhu's affair becomes known to everyone, the marriage contract between the two families may still remain the same.
She had to think about what appropriate way to expose this matter.
Feng Nuan was still secretly delighted when someone suddenly patted her shoulder.
She turned around and immediately changed her voice to a gentle one: "Sister Liu, what's the matter?"
Sister Liu said with a look of disgust: "Manager Zhang asked me to inform you that you have failed your internship assessment. You need to pack up and leave immediately."
Feng Nuan's expression also changed, "Why?!"
The first person she thought of was Jiang Nuanzhu.
Sister Liu sneered, "You almost offended a big client on your first day at work. Our shop can't afford to support a big Buddha like you!"
"You..." Feng Nuan's eyes were red, but she didn't argue. She tore off her badge and threw it on the ground, gritting her teeth and saying, "You look down on people. You all just wait!"
Turned around and left.
Sister Liu was stunned and murmured, "Thank goodness she left now. If she had taken out her temper on the customers, we would have been doomed!"
…
After entering the VIP room, Jiang Nuanzhu finally realized what was happening and pulled his hand back to cover the sweat on his palm.
Xu Heyi glanced at her sideways, "Don't you like this?"
Jiang Nuanzhu shook his head and whispered, "It's just... I'm not used to it."
Xu Heyi asked gently, "Are you not used to me, or are you not used to holding hands?"
"I'm just not used to holding hands."
When her relationship with Yan Shi was at its best, they always knew when to stop and were polite to each other, rarely showing such intimacy.
Xu Heyi frowned and said, "It's okay. I'll wait for you."
Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you."
Manager Zhang took the opportunity to introduce to the two people several boxes of rings placed on the round glass table.
After listening to the introduction, Xu Heyi lowered his head and asked Jiang Nuanzhu for her opinion, "Which one do you like?"
Jiang Nuanzhu was stunned. "You're asking me for my opinion?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
Jiang Nuanzhu said gently: "It's up to you to decide, I have no objection."
Xu Heyi's voice was magnetic, and he spoke slowly and steadily, "Mrs. Xu, you are my wife, and the wedding ring must be decided by you personally."
Manager Zhang also smiled and said, "Yes, Mrs. Xu, wedding rings must be chosen by both husband and wife together. Choose a pair of rings that suit your heart and have a happy meaning, and then wear them properly."
Mrs. Xu?
When Jiang Nuanzhu heard these three words, her cheeks flushed. She pretended to lift her hair to hide her embarrassment, and her eyes became moist.
Her voice became softer and softer, "Okay, let me see..."
Staring at the exquisite and beautiful rings, Jiang Nuanzhu's thoughts kept wandering, and she unconsciously thought of the wedding rings she and Yan Shi had.
When Yan's mother reminded her to buy a wedding ring for her marriage, Jiang Nuanzhu mentioned it to Yan Shi.
What did Yan Shi say at that time?
[Don't ask me about such a small matter. I'm busy with work recently. You can decide for yourself.]
Jiang Nuanzhu really thought it was a trivial matter, and since she was busy with work, she left the matter of choosing the wedding ring to the parents of both sides.
As a result, all the relatives on both sides gave some opinions, and after looking at no less than a thousand rings, they still couldn't decide.
Yan's mother and Jiang's mother, two good friends, almost broke up because of this incident.
After arguing for a month, we finally compromised and chose a pair of rings.
No one asked Jiang Nuanzhu for her opinion at the time, and Jiang Nuanzhu herself didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It was not until this moment that Jiang Nuanzhu finally realized what was happening.
Does Yan Shi really want to marry her?
Seeing that Jiang Nuanzhu looked at it for a long time without commenting, Xu Heyi picked up a box and asked, "How about this pair?"
Manager Zhang's eyes narrowed with laughter. "Mr. Xu has excellent taste. This is the pinnacle of creation by the internationally renowned jewelry master Alice. It's said she was inspired by a painting of cranes and bamboo she saw while traveling to China. It's surrounded by bamboo-like designs, and the diamond in the center embellishes it like a crane's eye."
"Actually, there's a bracelet that goes with the ring. It's called Crane and Singing, and it's also the treasure of our main store."
Taketsuru...it just happens to contain the names of both of them, what a coincidence.
Jiang Nuanzhu glanced at Manager Zhang. She probably didn't know her name, so it was just a coincidence.
Suddenly, Jiang Nuanzhu found the pair of rings very pleasing to her eyes, and it seemed that the more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
"Where is the bracelet?" Xu Heyi asked in a deep voice.
When Manager Zhang heard this, his smile widened. "I'll have someone get it for you right away."
Jiang Nuanzhu secretly glanced at Xu Heyi's deep-cut profile, and when Xu Heyi looked up, she quickly looked away.
She said softly, "I think this is good, what about you?"
Xu Heyi lowered his eyes and looked at her, a faint smile in his deep eyes, "I think it's good too."
He turned to Manager Zhang and said, "This is the only couple."
Xu Heyi took out one of the rings and said, "Mrs. Xu, give me your right hand."
Jiang Nuanzhu's eyes moved slightly, and her fair and slender hand carefully placed on Xu Heyi's palm.
Xu Heyi gently put the ring on her ring finger, pursed his thin lips, looked very serious, and his facial lines were sharp and smooth, revealing a silent majesty.
Jiang Nuanzhu was also influenced by him and straightened his back unconsciously.
After putting on the ring, Xu Heyi's eyebrows moved slightly, "The size is perfect."
Jiang Nuanzhu seemed to vaguely see the corners of his mouth rise, but then quickly suppressed them.
Is it an illusion?
"Mrs. Xu, it's your turn."
"Oh, okay!" Jiang Nuanzhu withdrew his gaze from Xu Heyi and took out the ring. For a moment, he didn't know where to start, but Xu Heyi took the initiative to extend his left hand.
Seeing Jiang Nuanzhu still a little confused holding the ring, he whispered a reminder, "Ring finger."
Jiang Nuanzhu seemed to suddenly understand and quickly found her ring finger to put it on him.
"The size... is just right." Jiang Nuanzhu was a little puzzled, but she didn't doubt it. She just sighed, "What a coincidence."
Xu Heyi gently held her hand and said, "Maybe this is fate."
When he said these words, his tone was very normal and his expression was calm and indifferent, but there was always a seductive taste in him.
Jiang Nuanzhu's heartbeat was always disturbed by his words.
Even though it was only their second meeting, she didn't seem to be that resistant to him.
After putting on the wedding ring, a waiter brought over the bracelet.
The bracelet is wrapped around a crane, embodying three-dimensional beauty. The crane feathers are elegant and graceful, and are embellished with sparkling diamonds, reflecting various colors at different angles, which is very beautiful.
Jiang Nuanzhu had seen many expensive jewellery, but she was still amazed by the bracelet.
Xu Heyi took in the amazement in her eyes and asked, "Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Nuanzhu nodded slightly.
Xu Heyi picked up the bracelet and asked, "Can I help you put it on?"
"Yeah." Jiang Nuanzhu lowered her eyes and looked at Xu Heyi's hand quietly.
His fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints, veins visible on the back of his hands, and his fingertips were a little rough.
When helping Jiang Nuanzhu put on the bracelet, his movements were very gentle, and whenever they accidentally brushed against a certain part of her skin, it would always evoke a hint of warmth.
Unconsciously, Jiang Nuanzhu's palms were sweating from nervousness.
After putting on the bracelet, Xu Heyi stared at Jiang Nuanzhu's hand with his dark eyes, expressing his frank admiration, "Very beautiful."
Jiang Nuanzhu nodded in approval, "The design is indeed very beautiful."
Xu Heyi withdrew his hand and said slowly: "I am praising the hand."
Jiang Nuanzhu's cheeks turned red instantly, and Manager Zhang and others also covered their mouths and laughed.
