Chapter 1093: Rare Pink Diamond
Chapter 1093 Rare Pink Diamond
With some uneasiness and more curiosity, she followed him into a small shop.
The shop was very deep. The first floor was covered with ivy and various green plants. The steep and narrow wooden stairs spiraled to the second floor. He held her hand and sat down on the soft velvet sofa.
An old man with gray hair walked out of the room, looked at them with a single gold-rimmed eye, and an elegant smile appeared on the corners of his wrinkled lips: "Is this Mr. Pei? And what Mr. Chu said That beautiful lady." He said, nodding kindly to Xia Ling, and turned his eyes back to Pei Ziheng, "Welcome, what would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"
“Tea,” Pei Ziheng said, “give her a glass of lemonade.”
The old man turned around and left. After a while, he brought out two drinks, put the tea in Pei Ziheng's hand, and put the lemonade in Xia Ling's hand. "Mr. Chu said you like to eat sweets," the old man said to Xia Ling with a smile, "Originally I prepared some candies, but Mr. Pei said they were not good for your teeth and wouldn't allow them."
Xia Ling glanced at Pei Ziheng sadly.
Pei Ziheng said in a warm voice: "You have eaten so much sugar in the past few years that you have developed cavities. Last time I took you to the dentist and cried, you still want to eat it? If it hurts again, I will not help you find a doctor at night."
A few years ago, when he was still young and had just adopted her, he wanted to pile all the good things in the world in front of her. Seeing that she liked to eat sweets, he let her eat them without restraint until she covered her cheeks late one night. He shook himself awake and cried that his teeth hurt.
He took her to the dentist in his pajamas, which lasted most of the night, and he still had to worry about it for a year.
Looking back on that past event, he still feels brooding about it.
Xia Ling said aggrievedly: "Big bad guy." Her voice was so low that he didn't hear her.
The gray-haired old man sat down opposite them on the sofa, across a table, and spread out a tray. The bottom of the tray is covered with a thick and dense velvet cushion, and diamonds are displayed on it. The brilliance is so dazzling that it is as dazzling as the stars in the sky, which is mesmerizing.
“Wow…” Xia Ling exclaimed softly.
"Which one do you like?" Pei Ziheng asked, "Choose for yourself and I will make a ring for you."
“Make me a ring?” Xia Ling was slightly startled, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but start thinking wildly. Why make her a ring? This ring...what does it mean?
Her beautiful eyes looked at him without blinking.
“Look, I don’t have a ring on my face.” He said.
"Why did you," she swallowed, and asked with some difficulty, "give me a ring?"
"I like to see you wearing it," he said, his eyes lingering on her slightly lower chest for a moment. The scars left on her fair skin when someone snatched the diamond necklace were already very light. "Xiao Yu knows how to buy what she likes. I gave you so much pocket money, why don't you buy anything?"
She followed his gaze and also thought about the necklace, feeling a little embarrassed: "I, I bought a lot of things."
"Small hairpins on the roadside, ice cream, secretly bought candies behind my back. Last month I went to the amusement park with a group of classmates to play slot machines, and a lot of coins were eaten..." He hated the fact that iron is not made of steel, "Why does Xiaoyu know how to buy it? You just buy some random things that are expensive and have good value?”
She felt guilty: "How do you know everything?" She had obviously been very careful not to tell him about secretly buying candies and going to the amusement park.
There was a smile in his eyes, "What don't I know about you?"
She lowered her head and bit her lip gently: "This is not fair."
“What’s unfair?” he asked.
She looked at him and took courage and said, "You know everything about me, but there are many, many things about you that I don't know." "What do you want to know?" he asked.
"I…"
Pei Ziheng looked at her gently and elegantly: "Because you are so good today, I will tell you whatever you want to know."
She gritted her teeth and finally asked, "Have you ever given rings to other women? For example, the sister I bumped into that day, and..." There was also the woman from the Blue Dream Club. She remembered Xia Yuqian's instructions to her not to leak out the story of following Pei Ziheng, so she held back the second part of the sentence.
Pei Ziheng asked: "There is more?"
"And..." She was a little confused and didn't dare to look at him. She moved her eyes elsewhere and made up a lie on the spur of the moment, "Are there many women out there? They all said that many women are willing to be with you."
Pei Ziheng was slightly startled and said with a smile in his deep voice, "Are you jealous?"
"I don't!"
“Mind if I have a lot of women?”
"How could it be! What does this have to do with me?!" She denied it in a panic, got up and wanted to escape.
Pei Ziheng suddenly grabbed her hand. Her hands were soft and delicate, a little cold in his palm, like a small piece of moist jade. He slowly pulled her back to his seat and looked into her eyes: "You are jealous."
The tone of no doubt.
She tried hard to pull her hand away, but did not pull away. She said angrily: "Do you care whether I am jealous or not? What qualifications do I have to be jealous of you? I was just adopted by you, and I am not your girlfriend. You What does it matter to me how many women there are? Why did you give me the ring? Just give it to them!"
He stared at her without speaking.
Her chest rose and fell, as if she wanted to pour out all the words she had been holding in her heart for the past few days: "Pei Ziheng, what do you think of me? A sister? Then why did you do that to me?! A girlfriend? You're not right. I confessed! There are so many women out there! What is it that we don’t know about now?”
What exactly is it?
This was the most uneasy part of her heart. She didn't know where to put him.
He remained silent, slowly took her hand, and spread her slender and beautiful fingers little by little on the table. The crystal light reflected her soft white and delicate skin, as beautiful as jade. He picked up a few diamonds with tweezers, compared them on her left middle finger, and finally selected a brilliant pink diamond.
“That’s it,” he said. “Pink looks good on you.”
She choked for a moment and stared at him fiercely. Did he pretend that he didn't hear all the questions she just asked? ! Her heart felt sour and astringent, and her tears couldn't stop flowing upwards. Since so many things happened, she seemed to be crying more and more.
Pei Ziheng put the selected diamonds into a separate small tray and motioned to the gray-haired old man.
"Fancy Vivid." The old man smiled and praised in English, "Mr. Pei is really discerning. The one you selected is quite rare even among pink diamonds, Type IIa. To be honest, this is the last one left in Paris. It’s a rare treasure.”
