Chapter 33

Duan Shiyan’s body stiffened slightly, as if he hadn’t expected her to ask that so suddenly.

He lowered his long eyelashes, silently meeting Jinwu’s clear and bright eyes.

After a while, he slowly curled his lips.

“It was me.”

Duan Shiyan looked at her with deep eyes, his voice low, “A few years ago, I saw this Destined on the auction list, and I thought of you.”

Thought of her?

Jinwu widened her eyes in surprise, completely confused.

Their interactions were limited to their three years in high school, at most, they were just ordinary classmates.

When he saw this diamond, he should have thought of the girls he had more interactions with, or just prepared for his future Mrs. Duan.

But Duan Shiyan said he thought of her?

Was that possible?

As if sensing her confusion, Duan Shiyan chuckled softly.

He raised an eyebrow, “Isn’t your favorite color blue?”

On the auction list, the color of the unique diamond at the end was blue, Jinwu’s favorite color.

Just like the name of the blue diamond.

Destined.

The Chinese translation, meant to be.

“Jinwu, do you know about the law of attraction?”

Duan Shiyan’s lips curled up, his eyes burning, “Because I knew you liked blue, when I first saw this blue diamond, I felt that you would definitely like this blue diamond, just like it was meant to be, it belonged to you.”

He bought this “meant to be.”

But from the beginning, it wasn’t for himself, he didn’t do it out of selfishness.

He did it silently for her, in Fu Yuchen’s name.

He thought, if Fu Yuchen knew her well enough, he would know that her favorite color was blue, he would know that she would like this blue diamond ring.

He didn’t inject any of his own selfishness into the design and creation of the ring.

He even deliberately placed the ring in a prominent place, so that one day Fu Yuchen could bring her here and put the blue diamond ring she would definitely like on her finger.

He never wished for her to discover his feelings.

All he wished for was for her to get what she wanted.

But he didn’t expect Fu Yuchen, that stupid jerk, to not only not cherish her properly, but also to abandon her and take another woman to see the ring.

The moon he had been carefully watching, never daring to touch, was just an insignificant thing to others, something they could easily discard.

Since someone didn’t know how to cherish her.

Then don’t blame him, the latecomer, for taking over that person’s position and snatching the moon from his hands.

Jinwu stared at him, her heart beating erratically.

“But so many people like blue.”

She said in a daze, “Why would you think of me?”

The curve of Duan Shiyan’s lips deepened.

“You’re an idiot.”

He lightly flicked her forehead, “Do you think Duan Shiyan’s brain is so easy to remember what other people like?”

Duan Shiyan leaned forward slightly, his dark and deep pupils reflecting her image, his low, magnetic voice slowly said.

“I only want to remember your preferences.”

Jinwu’s eyelashes fluttered, her already chaotic heartbeat instantly sped up.

Every violent beat made her brain go numb, making it hard to think straight.

“Actually, this ring was originally a wedding gift from me to you and Fu Yuchen, as an old classmate.”

Duan Shiyan looked at the wedding rings they were both wearing, his lips couldn’t help but curl up, “It’s Fu Yuchen, that jerk, who didn’t have the fortune, after all this time, my meant to be—”

He held her hand tightly, his eyes looking deeply at her, his low, affectionate voice made her ears burn, “Now I’m holding it in my hand.”

Jinwu stared at him, her brain was in a daze, her heart pounding, and her fingertips, held in his palm, couldn’t help but curl up.

No wonder people say that peach blossom eyes are naturally seductive, even looking at a dog would feel affectionate.

It really is… very affectionate.

If she didn’t know that his “meant to be” referred to the ring, she would have almost fallen for it.

“By the way, I heard that Fu Yuchen, that stupid jerk, even took another woman to see the ring in front of you.”

Duan Shiyan pressed his back teeth together, his chin raised, his arrogant and unrestrained eyebrows revealing a youthful spirit, his whole body exuding an extreme arrogance, “Then we’ll wear this wedding ring together, flaunt our love, and make him jealous to death.”

Jin Wu looked up at him.

She saw the corners of his lips curled high, his raised eyebrows overflowing with spirited pride, even the small dimples that rarely appeared in front of others were now prominently displayed.

It was arrogant, but also had a touch of childish cuteness.

Like a child who had finally gotten the candy he wanted, he was strutting around, showing it off, and even making a “da da da” sound with his feet.

Jin Wu couldn’t help but chuckle.

Her eyebrows relaxed, and her gaze at him was light and bright, even the slight unease that had risen in her heart dissipated, “Okay, let’s make him jealous to death together.”

Woohoo! I’m so touched!

A love-struck brother who can finally speak is just different!

He’s finally opened up, which makes me happy and at ease!

Seizing the opportune moment, Xue Nan, the love security guard, held a delicate dark blue box, his steps light and nimble, making a grand entrance, “Excuse me, ladies, when this Destined diamond ring was made, there were some leftover materials. Then someone specifically instructed me to make a necklace with the remaining materials, because Mrs. Duan is a doctor and needs to work at the hospital, so it’s inconvenient to wear a ring.”

As Xue Nan opened the box, he spoke in a suggestive tone, “So, he specifically asked me to make a necklace with the remaining materials. Please take a look, beautiful Mrs. Duan.”

As the box opened, a silver necklace shimmered with brilliant and noble light, once again striking her eyes like a surprise.

Jin Wu’s breath caught in her throat.

The delicate silver necklace exuded a refined and luxurious sheen, with a blue diamond-encrusted moon pendant hanging from it.

Although small, it was as exquisitely beautiful as the ring on her hand, stunningly beautiful, making it impossible to look away.

“Let me put it on you.”

Before Jin Wu could react, she felt the man’s strong, warm chest pressed against her back, separated by a thin layer of fabric.

His low, magnetic voice fell word by word.

Along with the ambiguous and scorching breath that brushed against her skin around her ears, it instantly and forcefully occupied all her senses, causing her heart to tremble.

“Is this okay?”

Standing behind her, Duan Shiyan put the necklace on her, his fingers slightly bent, his tall waist leaning closer.

When his lips parted, their breaths mingled, unrestrained and seductive, further amplifying the ambiguous atmosphere around them, making her heart beat faster for him.

“Should I loosen it a little more?”

“Hmm?” The final sound at the end of his sentence was low and deep, directly rolling over her already blushing earlobes.

Jin Wu couldn’t help but take a few short breaths, the light-colored mole under her eyes turned red.

It was just putting on a necklace, why did he make it sound like he was doing something…

Jin Wu felt her ears getting even hotter.

Her eyelashes fluttered, her gaze shyly wandering, “It’s fine, it fits perfectly.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a sexy, happy chuckle from behind.

“It’s beautiful.”

Duan Shiyan walked back in front of her, his eyes deep as he looked at her, his voice low and husky, “I like it very much.”

Jin Wu’s heart skipped a beat again.

She couldn’t help but touch the silver necklace around her neck, which still held a trace of the man’s warmth.

Both the color and the design perfectly hit her taste.

Especially considering that she was a doctor and couldn’t wear a ring while working, the necklace made her feel a sense of warmth, being respected and cared for.

But thinking about the price, Jin Wu slightly pursed her lips, “But isn’t it too expensive? Maybe I can…”

Before she could finish, Duan Shiyan raised his eyebrows and abruptly interrupted her, “Mrs. Duan, let me teach you two things.”

“Worrying about a man will make you miserable for a lifetime, and a man’s money is for his wife to spend, what else is he earning it for?”

He arrogantly raised his chin, the corners of his lips curled up, “A man who doesn’t work hard to earn money to satisfy his wife is a loser, especially for something as important as a wedding ring, it’s only right to give your wife the best you can afford, otherwise what kind of man are you?”

“So if you like it, buy it, don’t worry about my wallet.”

Duan Shiyan raised his eyebrow in a Wildly way, the pampering in his eyes couldn’t be hidden anymore, “Don’t worry, I don’t have much else, just a lot of money, enough to last a few lifetimes.”

Xue Nan, “… “

He’s comparing!

I’m going to fight these rich people!

“Go see if there’s anything else you want to buy, buy it all.”
