Chapter 248 Can't even afford a ring
When the two got their marriage certificate, Han Xi gave her a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg, but she never gave him anything in return.
At that time, she thought that the two of them were just in a marriage of convenience, and that they might break up at any time, so she didn't think too much about it.
But now... since I've decided it's him, I can't be without what's necessary.
The diamond ring was too big to wear every day, and she hasn't worn it since the charity gala, keeping it at home ever since.
Since Han Xi wants to go public with the wedding, let's give him a wedding ring first.
Although she cannot tell everyone that she is Mrs. Han yet, it seems that she no longer needs to deliberately hide the fact that she is married.
Fang Li casually browsed through a jewelry store and spotted a men's ring in the display case.
"Hello, could you please take this ring out for me?"
"Madam, you have excellent taste. However, this ring isn't a single one; it's one of a pair, named 'Eternal Love,' designed by the renowned Milanese jewelry designer Emil. The men's ring is made entirely of platinum, with 1,314 tiny diamonds set at the top, symbolizing eternity. The women's ring is also made of the same material, but the diamond at the top is a perfect 5.2 carats. Together, they represent 'I love you forever,' expressing love simply and directly, giving the other person the greatest emotional satisfaction. Doesn't that sound beautiful?"
The sales assistant introduced the ring to Fang Li with a big smile. Fang Li had only taken a liking to the men's ring, but the sales assistant brought out the women's ring as well.
The design of the women's ring was very ordinary; it looked like a simple and common style. Coupled with the meaning she explained, Fang Li felt it was a bit old-fashioned.
She chuckled and shook her head.
"Um, thank you, I'll look at some other things..."
"Wait a minute, let me see."
Just as the sales assistant was about to take the ring back, a bright female voice suddenly rang out beside Fang Li.
At the same time, a slender, fair hand suddenly reached out from beside her and picked up the diamond ring in the tray to examine it closely.
Fang Li raised an eyebrow, a cool glint flashing in her eyes.
She turned her head and, as she had guessed, saw Yu Wei, who was in the lead, and two other women who were dressed beautifully and elegantly.
The woman admiring the diamond ring was none other than Yu Wei herself.
Yu Wei today is different from the one I saw on the pedestrian street that day; she seems to have transformed back into that glamorous female celebrity.
Upon seeing Fang Li's face, his expression changed slightly, and then he took two steps back with a look of surprise and apology in his eyes.
She gave a gentle yet somewhat forced smile. "Fang Li, what a coincidence."
Fang Li coldly observed Yu Wei's ever-changing face, not bothering to hide it, her eyes filled with direct scrutiny.
Because she really didn't understand which one was the real her, and why her expression could change so much every time she faced her.
"Weiwei, who is she?" A girl wearing a pale yellow knitted sweater and a white long skirt asked Fang Li curiously.
Before Yu Wei could speak, another girl in a black casual suit to her left sneered, "You don't even know her? She's that little star who's after Weiwei's boyfriend."
"Oh right, they've already retired from the entertainment industry and aren't even a celebrity anymore."
Fang Li sneered, too lazy to pay them any attention, and turned to leave.
As a result, the girl on the left suddenly stepped forward and blocked her way, looking like she wouldn't let her off easily.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You and Weiwei are colleagues, after all. Why don't you chat when you see each other? What are you avoiding?"
Fang Li coldly raised her eyes and said, "Get out of the way."
I didn't expect her to be so tough.
The woman on the right, who initially showed no hostility towards Fang Li, also looked displeased, and suddenly sneered at her with a sarcastic expression.
"I've never seen a woman come here to buy wedding rings before. Are you so desperate for a man that you can't steal Weiwei's boyfriend? So you just grabbed any guy to settle for? What? He's so poor he can't even afford a ring, and you have to buy it for yourself?"
"Even so, what's it to you?" Fang Li glanced at her coldly and walked away.
She left the store directly and walked a few steps to enter another store.
There were a few scattered customers in the store, and as soon as Fang Li entered, a sales assistant immediately came up to greet her.
"Hello, miss, what would you like to see?"
Fang Li forced a smile: "I'll take a look myself first."
She walked around the counter and quickly spotted a pair of wedding rings in the central glass display case.
This time, not only the men's ring, but also the women's ring immediately captured her heart.
"Can I take a look at this set?"
The sales assistant's eyes lit up instantly. "Of course! Miss, you have excellent taste. This is a new style that just arrived in our store two days ago. There's only one pair available at each branch. It's called 'Love'."
"Love?" Fang Li raised an eyebrow.
Salesperson: "Yes, but not the usual 'love' character. It's the traditional Chinese character for 'love,' just like this women's ring. The perfect heart shape is set in the center of the men's ring. The men's and women's rings together represent 'love,' but they can also be two independent entities. The meaning that this pair of rings wants to express is that love is not about self-sacrifice or blindly giving in, but about two people relying on and tolerating each other. That is what complete 'love' is."
'like'.......
We rely on each other and tolerate each other...
"Yes, I want these rings..."
"Hey! Vivi, come look! This pair looks even better!"
A familiar voice interrupted from beside her again, and then a hand covered in diamond-encrusted nail polish suddenly reached out and snatched the ring from Fang Li's hand.
Fang Li's brow twitched, and a chill instantly settled in her eyes.
This time, she didn't even bother to look up. She simply pulled out her phone from her bag and said to the sales assistant, "Please wrap up these rings for me. Where do I pay?"
The sales assistant was delighted and immediately pointed to the other cashier, "Checkout over there, please wait a moment, I'll wrap it up for you right away."
After saying that, she looked at the woman who had taken the ring and smiled politely: "Hello, I'm so sorry, this lady has already bought these rings. We have many other classic styles in our store, why don't you take a look?"
"Choose something else?"
"Yes, for example, this pair of rings next to us is also our best-selling pair of wedding rings, and its meaning is..."
Does high sales volume mean that many couples wear them?
The sales assistant paused for a moment, then nodded slowly. "If you don't like them, you can look at other less popular items..."
"Why should Weiwei buy what no one else wants?!"
"..." The sales assistant froze on the spot.
The woman in the black suit held the women's diamond ring in her hand and said, "Our Weiwei has her eye on this pair. Wrap them up for us now."
