Chapter 192 Lu Chenyuan watched Su Wan's every move, and felt a pang of heartache.
Su Wan leaned against him, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, feeling the warmth of his palm and the comfort of his embrace. Her unease and inferiority gradually subsided, and her tears slowly stopped.
She knew that Lu Chenyuan was sincere towards her and genuinely wanted to be with her. With him around, she really didn't need to be afraid of so much.
Yet, a faint unease lingered in her heart, like a tiny thorn gently pricking her soul, impossible to shake off.
She was still worried, worried that she wasn't good enough for him, worried that she wouldn't be able to get past his parents.
Soon, the three arrived at the Graff boutique.
The Graff boutique is decorated in a low-key yet luxurious style, with a sophisticated color scheme of light and dark green. The walls are made of fine marble, and the floors are covered with gleaming black tiles.
The entire counter exudes an air of grandeur, composure, and a touch of aloof sophistication.
The entrance to the store is not decorated with too many fancy decorations, but only has a small, exquisite brand logo, which is low-key yet highly recognizable, making it clear at a glance that this place is of an extraordinary level.
Inside the boutique, the soft yet bright lighting evenly illuminated each piece of jewelry, making the diamonds appear even more dazzling and radiant.
The sales assistants in the store were all dressed in matching navy blue suits, with exquisite makeup, elegant manners, and gentle yet professional smiles that were not overly enthusiastic, making people feel comfortable without feeling oppressed.
As soon as Lin Weiwei stepped into the counter, her eyes lit up instantly. The fatigue and emotion on her face were instantly replaced by excitement and surprise. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and look around, muttering to herself.
"Wow, they're so beautiful! Every time I come to Graff, I discover something new. The diamond rings here are getting more and more gorgeous; every single one is captivating!"
Although she rarely buys such expensive jewelry on a regular basis, she occasionally goes shopping with her colleagues to feast her eyes on the designs and has a certain understanding of Graff's styles.
However, every time she comes, she is amazed by the diamonds here. After all, Graff diamonds are top-notch in terms of cutting, color, and clarity.
Each one is meticulously designed and crafted, making them true works of art.
Lu Chenyuan held Su Wan tightly the whole time, gently stroking her back with one hand, constantly comforting her.
Although Su Wan's emotions had gradually calmed down, she was still quite shocked. Her face still showed a slight sadness and restraint. She kept her head down the whole time, not daring to look up at the dazzling diamond rings.
His eyes would always unconsciously wander to the relatively inexpensive diamond rings.
She still felt it was too expensive and didn't want him to spend so much money.
Lu Chenyuan watched Su Wan's every move and felt a pang of heartache.
He knew that Su Wan was still worried about the money, still couldn't let go, and still felt that she didn't deserve such an expensive gift.
He didn't force her; he simply patted her shoulder gently, then looked up and called out to Lin Weiwei, who was looking around, his tone firm and brooking no refusal.
"Weiwei, could you please recommend a diamond ring that costs over a million? It needs to be the most beautiful and exquisite. Price doesn't matter, as long as Wanwan likes it and it suits her best, the price doesn't matter."
"It doesn't need to be that expensive, Lu Chenyuan, really, it doesn't need to."
Upon hearing this, Su Wan quickly raised her head and said urgently, her tone pleading.
"I see those under 100,000 on the shelves, they're really nice, simple yet exquisite, that's enough. There's really no need to spend over a million, that's such a waste..."
She was telling the truth.
In her view, a diamond ring is just a memento, a token of affection. She doesn't care about the price or the brand; as long as it's a gift from him and represents his feelings, that's enough.
Those diamond rings under 100,000 are already very beautiful and enough for her to wear for a lifetime. There is no need to spend millions to buy such an expensive diamond ring, which would only increase his burden for no reason.
Lin Weiwei looked at Lu Chenyuan with eyes full of approval and satisfaction.
He was genuinely generous and truly wanted to give Su Wan the best; it wasn't an act or a perfunctory gesture.
She nodded to Lu Chenyuan to reassure him, then turned to Su Wan and smiled reassuringly.
"Wanwan, don't worry about the money. Lu Chenyuan has plenty of money; he doesn't care about a few million. Besides, this is your first anniversary gift together. It's a promise he made to you, so it has to be the best, it has to be worthy of you! Just wait patiently, and I'll definitely pick out the most beautiful diamond ring that suits you best!"
After saying that, she ignored Su Wan's rebuttal and turned to look at a saleswoman in a business suit with exquisite makeup. She had a gentle smile on her face and spoke politely and calmly.
"Could you please show us the Icon series engagement piece, around 3 carats, priced around 300 million? Thank you."
When the sales assistant heard Lin Weiwei's request, her smile remained gentle and professional, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The Icon series is Graff's classic line, characterized by its simplicity, sophistication, and elegance. Each piece is meticulously designed, with the 3-carat engagement piece, priced around 300 million, being the most popular and rarest in the series. Not every boutique has it in stock.
But she quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes, her face still bearing a gentle smile, her tone respectful and professional.
"Okay, ma'am, I'm so sorry, please wait a moment."
"We have several classic designs for the 3-carat Icon series engagement ring. However, because the diamond in this ring is of very high quality, we usually don't let you try it on. So, let me get you a trial stone first, so you can try it on and get a feel for the style and size, is that alright?"
This is the rule in the jewelry industry, especially for top jewelry brands like Graff. For expensive and rare pieces, they usually don't bring out real diamonds for customers to try on directly, but instead bring out trial stones first.
In other words, it's a sample with the same style and size as a real diamond, but made of imitation diamond material. Customers try it on to confirm the style and size, and then the real diamond is brought out for them to confirm.
Lin Weiwei had visited many jewelry stores before and was very familiar with this rule.
She gestured to Su Wan and said with a smile.
"Wanwan, come here and try it on. See if the style suits you and if you like it."
"Don't worry, this is just a trial stone. Once you're sure you like it, we'll look at the real diamond."
Looking at Lin Weiwei's enthusiastic demeanor and Lu Chenyuan's gentle yet firm gaze, Su Wan knew that no matter how much she argued, it would be useless. The two of them had already made up their minds to buy her the most top-quality and most beautiful diamond ring.
She sighed helplessly and slowly walked forward, extending her fair and slender hand, letting the sales assistant place the test stone on her ring finger.
