Chapter 188 It's just buying a diamond ring as a souvenir, is it really necessary to be so extr
Lin Weiwei was pondering to herself when Lu Chenyuan spoke up. His tone was gentle and earnest, and his gaze was fixed on Lin Weiwei with sincerity, without the slightest perfunctoriness.
"Lin Weiwei, are you free after we finish eating?"
"Whether I'm free or not is none of your business!"
Lin Weiwei retorted instinctively, her tone still somewhat awkward, still with that unforgiving air.
She wanted to talk to Lu Chenyuan properly and let go of past grievances, but old habits die hard. Moreover, the thought of her precious daughter being taken advantage of by this pig made her want to retort to him, and she felt really upset.
Lu Chenyuan wasn't angry. He smiled gently and patiently explained.
"I want to buy Su Wan a diamond ring as a gift for our first anniversary, and also as a promise I make to her."
"If you know what you're doing, could you help us choose and give us some advice? I've never bought a gift for any woman before, and I know absolutely nothing about diamond rings. I don't know what kind to buy or what size to get."
Upon hearing Lu Chenyuan's words, Lin Weiwei's awkwardness and impatience instantly dissipated, and her expression immediately improved.
She looked at Lu Chenyuan with suspicion, her eyes filled with uncertainty and a hint of probing.
"You're giving me an anniversary gift, a diamond ring?"
Do you know what this diamond ring represents?
"This isn't an ordinary gift; it represents a promise, a lifetime of cherishing, and your determination to spend your life with her. Are you sure you want to give her this?"
Although she said it as a question, judging from her expression, she would definitely get angry if Lu Chenyuan dared to deny it.
"I'm sure."
Lu Chenyuan answered without hesitation, his tone firm, his eyes full of sincerity and appreciation.
He looked down at Su Wan in his arms, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
"I proposed to Wanwan today, but she didn't say yes. I respect her decision and won't pressure her."
"However, we've decided to move in together first. Tomorrow, I'll take her to meet my colleagues and friends so everyone knows she's my girlfriend."
"When Wanwan is free and ready, I will take her home to meet my family, my parents, and formally introduce her to them."
He paused, his tone softening further, his eyes filled with doting affection.
He reached out and gently stroked Su Wan's hand, his fingertips caressing her bare ring finger.
"But right now, the most important thing is that her hand is empty, without any markings. I need to quickly buy her a diamond ring and put it on her hand so that everyone can know at a glance that she already has someone by her side, that she is already mine, Lu Chenyuan's woman."
"I've heard people say that no other man dares to even think about or get close to a girl who wears a diamond ring on her finger. I don't want anyone to bother us anymore, and I don't want to lose her again."
At this point, he frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of confusion and helplessness.
"But I really don't know what size is right to buy."
Looking at his serious yet confused expression, and seeing the sincerity and appreciation in his eyes, Lin Weiwei finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the last trace of awkwardness on her face completely disappeared.
His tone had softened considerably, carrying a hint of teasing and a touch of patience.
"You're so stupid. Diamond rings don't need to be described as 'big,' use 'carats.' Don't get it wrong again, or people will laugh at you."
After saying that, she picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip of water, and her tone became serious.
"Since you're so sincere, and since you really want to treat Wanwan well, then I'll do you this favor and help you choose."
"Tell me, how much are you planning to spend? I'll help you choose one that fits your budget, is both beautiful and meaningful, and that Wanwan will like."
"I have no idea."
Lu Chenyuan answered honestly, his tone still serious.
"I don't really know anything about this, and I don't have a budget. If you know anything about it, please help me choose the best one, the one that suits Wanwan best. I don't care how much it costs, as long as she likes it and it represents my feelings."
"good!"
Upon hearing Lu Chenyuan's words, Lin Weiwei immediately slammed her hand on the table, the crisp sound echoing clearly in the noisy hot pot restaurant.
Several curious glances immediately fell upon them from the neighboring tables.
She didn't care at all, suddenly stood up, reached out and grabbed Su Wan's wrist, her tone urgent and excited.
"Come on, Wanwan, what are you still doing sitting here? Judging from your appearance, you've already eaten. Let's go downstairs to the Graff boutique and pick out the perfect diamond ring for you!"
"what?"
Upon hearing the name Graff, Su Wan froze on the spot, her smile instantly turning to disbelief and shock in her eyes.
Although she wasn't an expert on luxury goods like diamond rings and jewelry, and rarely paid attention to them, she was very familiar with the name Graff.
After all, it is a world-renowned top jewelry brand, known as "the diamond among diamonds", which is incomparable to ordinary jewelry stores.
Last time, a female colleague of mine got engaged, and she specially dragged a group of us to choose a diamond ring. At the beginning, the budget was said to be under 100,000 yuan, but as soon as we walked into the Graff boutique, we were so captivated by the styles that we couldn't take our eyes off them. In the end, we gritted our teeth and bought a diamond ring that cost nearly 300,000 yuan. After returning home, we talked about it for several days, saying that it was the most beautiful piece of jewelry we had ever seen in our lives.
What impressed Su Wan even more was that her colleague had specifically explained that Graff's top-tier auction-grade pink diamonds could fetch prices of three to four hundred million yuan, making them the ceiling of the jewelry industry.
That Lin Weiwei, really!
Why would you go to such an expensive store?
It's just buying a diamond ring as a souvenir, why be so extravagant?
Just go to any ordinary jewelry store, spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, and pick a simple and nice piece. Why bother going to a place like Graff and adding unnecessary burden?
Su Wan quickly grabbed Lin Weiwei's hand and urgently stopped her.
"Hey, Weiwei, don't go to that store, it's too expensive. We don't need to spend that money! How about we go to a regular jewelry counter downstairs and pick out something simple? We really don't need to be so extravagant..."
Before Su Wan could finish speaking, Lu Chenyuan, who was sitting next to her, keenly noticed the unusual expression on her face.
It was an expression that mixed shock, heartache, and a hint of barely perceptible inferiority.
He instantly understood. Graff must indeed be an extremely expensive top-tier brand; otherwise, Su Wan wouldn't have shown such an expression.
The brand name sounded somewhat familiar to him. He frowned and thought carefully for a moment before quickly remembering it.
When Lu Chenzhou, the eldest brother, married Shu Yue, Shu Yue's family specifically requested a Graff diamond ring, saying that only in this way could it be worthy of the Lu family's status and show the Lu family's sincerity.
The diamond ring cost about eight million yuan. It was a rare pink diamond with a perfect cut and clear color. On the wedding day, Shu Yue wore the diamond ring and was surrounded by a group of socialites and noblewomen, receiving everyone's envy and praise.
He still remembers the way that face shone.
At that time, he had no interest in these jewels. Even when he saw the pink diamond worth eight million, he was not amazed at all. He thought it was just a shiny stone.
She even secretly thought that although the pink diamond was expensive, it was not beautiful, too flashy, and lacked a certain gentleness.
When he heard the number eight million, he wasn't too shocked or concerned.
After all, Shu Yue is the daughter-in-law approved by her parents, and they have no objections. Why should he, as her brother-in-law, interfere and make a fuss?
Looking back now, since my parents were willing to spend eight million to buy Shu Yue a Graff diamond ring for her brother's wedding, the quality and class of that store are indeed beyond doubt, and it is worthy of his Wanwan.
