"Cough, I didn't deliberately try to remember," Su Ziqing honestly confessed.
"So you didn't prepare a gift either?" Luo Ziqi was even more surprised, her jaw almost dropping.
Su Ziqing remained silent, tacitly agreeing.
Luo Ziqi immediately pulled her up, "Come on, let's go pick out a gift now!"
"But I still have work..." Su Ziqing said, but she was pulled up by her and didn't struggle much.
“You’re the boss, it’s okay for you to skip work occasionally,” Luo Ziqi said with a smile. “Besides, this counts as work, and I can talk to you about celebrity endorsements.”
"Hey, my coat..." Su Ziqing was dragged to the doorway.
"Go get it, go get it."
…………………………
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and shops and stores have been advertising and promoting the holiday for a long time. Su Ziqing has been in the capital for quite some time, but she has never been to a shopping mall here. Now she sees all the shops displaying declarations of love that are stronger than gold and last a lifetime. Although they are cliché, they are very popular with couples.
"Go up to the third floor." Luo Ziqi wrapped herself up tightly, afraid of being recognized by fans.
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement, "But I still don't know what to give as a gift."
This person, who has never celebrated Valentine's Day, has good theoretical knowledge, but absolutely zero practical experience.
Moreover, there are far fewer options for giving gifts to men compared to giving gifts to women.
Luo Ziqi looked at her, "What do you want to give as a gift?"
Su Ziqing honestly shook her head, "I don't know."
"Has Young Master Gong ever mentioned anything he likes to you?"
Su Ziqing thought about it seriously for a moment, "Do famous paintings count?"
However, famous paintings can only be bought and sold through auctions or introductions from friends and family; they cannot be purchased in shopping malls.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, so it's definitely not appropriate to give a famous painting as a gift now.
"What about the others?" Luo Ziqi asked, looking at her.
Su Ziqing shook her head, "I don't know..."
She genuinely didn't know.
Luo Ziqi rolled her eyes speechlessly. "In that case, we can only choose the most clichéd one."
"What's the most tacky?" Su Ziqing didn't get an answer from Luo Ziqi, and was instead dragged directly to the front of the luxury store.
"I'll give you matching couple jewelry." Luo Ziqi released her hand, smiled, and flashed a V-sign. "Am I clever?"
Su Ziqing: "...Isn't this a bit too insincere?"
“No, when you’ve completely forgotten to prepare a gift, giving couple's jewelry is the most sincere idea.” Luo Ziqi directly told the sales assistant her needs, “Couple's jewelry.”
Couple rings are a very popular type of item. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and the sales assistant immediately understood that the customers wanted to buy Valentine's Day gifts. She led them to the front of the counter and said, "These are couple rings specially designed by our designers for couples."
Su Ziqing, however, had been somewhat distracted. It was only when she saw the ring that she remembered finding Gong Chengjue's ring in his car when they first met.
To be honest, he never asked her for it... even though she said she didn't have it at the time.
What did he say? 'Do you know what the ring means?' Something like that?
"Ziqing, how about this pair? Simple yet beautiful." Luo Ziqi picked out a pair, but seeing that Su Ziqing was still in a daze, she gently nudged her shoulder.
What happened?
Su Ziqing snapped out of her reverie. "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something."
"These rings are alright." She looked at the ring in Luo Ziqi's hand, but it was still far from being one she liked.
She looked at the other two couples and said, "Hmm, this one is okay."
"I'm sorry, this pair has already been sold." The sales assistant looked at Su Ziqing regretfully. "Miss, would you like to take a look at some others?"
"Does your store only have one pair?" Luo Ziqi frowned.
"There's only one pair available in each store. If you like them, we can get them from a store that has them in stock," the sales assistant said.
Su Ziqing shook her head. "Isn't it too late?"
But what you can't have is easy to keep in your mind. After looking around at the jewelry in the store, she found that her favorite was still the pair she had just seen.
Luo Ziqi understood what she was thinking. "How about we transfer some staff from other stores?"
"But can it arrive today?"
“Air freight shouldn’t be a problem, we’ll cover the cost ourselves,” Luo Ziqi said extravagantly. “You can’t buy what you truly love, and I think the only couple you’ve looked at that you’ve found appealing.”
Su Ziqing nodded.
However, before they could speak, they heard a familiar voice say, "I've come to get the wedding rings."
Su Ziqing looked in the direction of the sound and saw it was Su Xiaoman...
Su Xiaoman was seen holding hands with a man whose appearance was... well, let's just say it was hard to describe, and he was also quite overweight.
The man seemed to be spoiling Su Xiaoman, saying, "Buy whatever you want."
Su Xiaoman also saw Su Ziqing, but she was only stunned for a moment and did not stage any 'recognition' scene.
On the contrary, Su Xiaoman seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and left as soon as she grabbed her things.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was being chased by wolves.
"Did I see that right?" Luo Ziqi suddenly whispered, "Was that Su Xiaoman?"
“You’re not mistaken.” Su Ziqing nodded.
She never expected to see Su Xiaoman in the capital, and that Su Xiaoman would have a man by her side so soon?
Of course, what surprised her even more was that Su Xiaoman, who was so particular about looks, actually chose that person who was a bit...unpleasant to talk about...
She wasn't judging people by their appearance, but based on what she knew of Su Xiaoman, she definitely looked down on people who weren't good-looking.
Luo Ziqi clicked her tongue twice, "Has Su Xiaoman gone mad?"
Su Ziqing: "..." This is also the question she wanted to ask.
"Are you crazy? Are you so desperate for food?" Luo Ziqi looked at Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing shook her head, "I don't know her."
She had no interest in Su Xiaoman's affairs, but she had met her a few days ago outside the detention center in City A.
"Is that right?" Su Ziqing had already turned her attention back to choosing a gift.
Luo Ziqi nodded, "They look good. If you like them, then these are the ones."
“But I don’t know his ring number…” Su Ziqing suddenly realized that although she had tried to learn more about Gong Chengjue during this time, there were still many details she couldn’t understand.
Luo Ziqi looked at her speechlessly, then suddenly became serious, "Ziqing, you still plan to marry him like this?"
"Well……"
"Marriage is not a game." Luo Ziqi felt that Su Ziqing must be hiding something from her, but Su Ziqing refused to say anything, so Luo Ziqi knew nothing about it.
"I know who to ask." Su Ziqing took out her phone.
She had Luo Jinhan's phone number recorded, and given Luo Jinhan's status as his special assistant, she should have known Gong Chengjue's ring number.
"Miss Su?" Luo Jinhan sounded surprised on the other end of the phone.
