Chapter 32

After lunch, Jinwu didn’t expect Duan Shiyan to take her to the largest and most luxurious five-star shopping mall in Beijing.

Swan Plaza, with many luxury brands in residence, was the only most luxurious shopping mall in the entire northern Beijing, and it was also a place frequented by many dignitaries and celebrities.

“Didn’t you say we were going to meet your grandmother and the others?”

As the elevator slowly ascended, Jinwu looked at the man beside her curiously, “Are you going to buy something?”

Duan Shiyan smiled slightly.

“Didn’t my little knight, Jinwu, say she was going to protect me?”

He raised an eyebrow, his deep peach blossom eyes filled with a scorching, unrestrained smile, making anyone who saw it feel like he was deeply in love, “As the prince, of course, I must prepare the best weapons for my dedicated little knight.”

From the time they left until now, his eyes always seemed to hold a flickering flame, extremely intense and bright.

Jinwu felt her cheeks heat up again.

She turned her head away slightly, her lips curving slightly.

Actually, she wanted to tell him, it wasn’t a prince.

It was a princess.

“Ding—”

The elevator doors slowly opened.

The top floor, decorated like a vibrant Monet garden, came into view, and Jinwu’s foot, which had just stepped out, suddenly stopped.

This was the jewelry hall founded by Xue Nan, a world-renowned Chinese jewelry designer who had won countless awards and ranked among the top three globally.

The spacious and bright hall outside was neatly arranged with glass display cabinets, filled with various jewelries that sparkled with dazzling brilliance and exquisite luxury.

Further down the corridor inside was the VIP reception room, even if you had money, if any of the requirements were not met, you wouldn’t be able to enter.

A few years ago, a priceless, flawless, and unique blue diamond, Destined, emerged, dominating countless reports.

Finally, an anonymous bidder, through a phone call, successfully bid for it at the highest price of 13.14 million.

It was then commissioned to the famous jewelry designer Xue Nan, and after being appraised by many experts, the value of this blue diamond has far exceeded the price of the rough diamond.

But strangely,

This blue diamond ring, which had been designed into a unique piece, should have been the anonymous bidder’s collection.

However, he kept this extremely valuable ring in Xue Nan’s VIP reception room.

And set up requirements that only they knew, so that until now, no one has been able to witness the true appearance of this blue diamond ring.

Jinwu remembered the first time she came here with Fu Yuchen.

Qin Yiyao, who was always with them, would grab Fu Yuchen’s arm and whine, “Yuchen, I heard that the blue diamond was designed into a ring, it must be beautiful, take me to see it!”

As if she had just realized that someone else’s girlfriend was present, she turned around with a harmless smile, her voice sweet, “Little Wu, you should come with us too, you’ll be hard-pressed to see something this good in your lifetime.”

Jinwu stood at the door, not going in.

But soon, Fu Yuchen walked out, his face dark.

“What’s so great about it?”

Qin Yiyao, who was behind him, stomped her feet in disappointment, “It’s just a piece of rock, and they say it’s only for the most distinguished guests, why aren’t Yuchen and I the most distinguished? It’s so annoying!”

At the time, Jinwu thought she would never have the opportunity to step foot in this place again.

Unexpectedly, not only did she come, but Duan Shiyan led her in, holding her hand.

“Oh, I’ve been waiting for you two, the most distinguished guests, for ages, you know how long I’ve been waiting?”

Just as Jinwu was still a little dazed.

She heard a familiar, frivolous male voice, “Hey, the genius of Beijing High School, do you remember me?”

Xue Nan, with a head of curly hair, bounced in front of Jinwu, under the cold, deadly gaze of a certain experimental brother.

He pointed at himself enthusiastically, his small canine teeth showing when he smiled, “I’m Xue Nan, the best friend and love security guard of the world, the one who was always being squeezed by Duan Shiyan in high school, playing both the father and the mother.”

As he spoke, he sneakily glanced at the hands of the two people in front of him, his lips curving mischievously.

Tsk, he never thought he would see this kid’s hand used to hold a girl’s hand.

It seemed that the former admirer had finally woken up!

Good, good, good! This is the feeling!

Keep pushing, man!

The day when that Fu guy, who pretends to be a man, is pissed off is coming!

“You haven’t changed a bit, genius, you’re still so beautiful!”

Xue Nan showed his cute little canine teeth, “No wonder Duan Shiyan, this kid, has been thinking about…”

He hadn’t finished his sentence when a cold and lazy voice interrupted him, “Are you a parrot reincarnated? You talk so much.”

Duan Shiyan raised his cold and arrogant eyebrows, turning his head to look at him, “Where are the things I asked you to prepare?”

Oh, he’s in a hurry.

Xue Nan mentally pointed fingers.

If he had been so eager back then, why would he have had to watch her back so many times and wait with heartache!

“Of course, I’ve already prepared everything.”

Xue Nan clapped his hands dramatically.

Suddenly, it was like a scene from a romantic drama, or like the start of a wedding reception, as shop assistants in uniform, each holding various diamond rings under glass domes, streamed in.

In no time, they had filled the entire spacious area in front of them.

“…..?”

Jinwu stared at the scene, which only appeared in TV dramas, in a daze.

It was like she had accidentally opened a giant jar of rainbow candies, and candies of all colors were pouring out at her, making her feel unreal.

“Take your time.”

Duan Shiyan gently squeezed her soft fingertips, his usually cold and lazy brows softening only for her, “Tell me if you see something you like.”

“Of course, if you like them all, then buy them all.”

He smiled slightly, his dimples appearing, his low, magnetic voice filled with a special kind of affection for her, “Let my little knight, Jinwu, wear them every day, or you can wear them on all ten fingers.”

Jinwu: ?

He seemed to be playing a very new game of “Miracle Jinwu.”

Every piece of jewelry that could appear here was priceless, costing at least a million, and some even over a hundred million.

They weren’t actually a real couple, there was no need to buy her such expensive diamond rings.

She knew she was being a spoilsport.

But she was uncomfortable with the fact that Duan Shiyan was giving her such luxurious things, and she couldn’t give him the same in return.

Over time, he might feel indebted.

Jinwu’s lips pursed slightly, “No need, I…”

Just as she was about to decline.

Her peripheral vision shifted unintentionally, like a mysterious guide, a blue diamond ring, sparkling with dazzling brilliance, collided with her vision.

Through the glass dome, the rich color and crystal clarity of the blue diamond shimmered with luxurious brilliance under the lights, each meticulously cut facet.

Like a boundless, clear and sparkling ocean horizon, radiating a stunning intensity, a noble and aloof beauty, quietly waiting for its owner.

Jinwu couldn’t help but hold her breath.

Wasn’t this the unique blue diamond that had caused a sensation in the auction world, a diamond that even she, who rarely paid attention to jewelry, knew about?

Back then, she could only see it in reports, only stand at the entrance of the reception room, unable to see the blue diamond, and now it was in front of her.

“Do you like this one?”

Before Jinwu could react, the man beside her, with his superior long legs, took her hand and walked straight up to it.

Then he picked up the exquisite blue diamond ring, held her hand, and slowly put the wedding ring on her ring finger.

As if it had finally found its owner, the ring fit perfectly on her ring finger, not too big, not too small, just right, as if it had been custom-made for her.

“I knew it.”

Duan Shiyan held Jinwu’s hand, his eyes lowered, his dark eyes filled with emotion, his lips curved slightly, his voice husky, “This blue diamond will suit you perfectly.”

Jinwu looked at him, her eyelashes fluttered, her heart skipped a beat, and her breath slowed down.

So strange.

How could he be so sure that this blue diamond would suit her?

“Wife, it’s your turn.”

Just as she was lost in thought, Duan Shiyan gently squeezed her hand, his slightly raised eyebrows held a burning seduction, “It’s your turn to put it on me.”

As he spoke, he kept his eyes lowered, looking at her, his deep gaze like a whirlpool of endless affection, wanting to draw her in.

“Um? Okay…”

Jinwu’s heart beat even faster.

She dazedly picked up the matching men’s wedding ring, held his hand, and put it on his ring finger, her movements a little nervous and awkward.

Then she was shocked to find that the size was perfect, it was truly as if it had been custom-made for them.

Jinwu couldn’t believe it, “This is too coincidental…”

“Maybe it’s fate.”

Duan Shiyan held her hand with the ring on it, a smile on his lips, he chuckled softly, “Even heaven thinks we’re meant to be.”

Is it really just fate?

Jinwu’s heartstrings twitched.

Although the anonymous bidder hadn’t revealed any personal information.

But there were reports speculating.

The mysterious bidder who bought this world-famous unique blue diamond at the highest price was a nobleman from Kyoto.

If he was really from Kyoto.

Then, looking at the entire Beijing social scene, only one person could have such vast wealth and power, and could directly invite Xue Nan, the famous jewelry designer who had been in seclusion, to personally design it.

Only one possibility.

“Duan Shiyan.”

Jinwu raised her clear almond-shaped eyes to look at him, suddenly asking softly, “Was it you who bought that blue diamond at the auction?”
