Chapter 43 - 43: 043 is very beautiful
While on the road, Wen Ran received a call from Bai Xiaoxiao.
Engrossed in their conversation, neither of them noticed the direction in which Aston was heading. After hanging up with Bai Xiaoxiao and putting away her cellphone, Aston had just come to a stop.
Wen Ran glanced outside the car window and asked in confusion, “Where are we?”
“Get out of the car!”
MO Xiuchen avoided answering her question. As he spoke, the car door opened from the outside and a man dressed in uniform stood by the door, respectfully saying, “Young Master MO, please step out of the car!”
Seeing him bending to get out of the car, Wen Ran had no choice but to follow suit.
As they entered the jewelry store, a middle-aged man immediately greeted them, saying cheerfully, “Young Master MO, the ring you requested will be here soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the glass door behind them was pushed open and a young man, carrying a bag, ran over slightly out of breath and reported, “Mr. Wang, the ring has arrived!”
“Young Master MO, Mrs. MO, please follow me!”
The man referred to as Mr. Wang took the bag from the young man, led MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran into the VIP room, and called for a female sales associate to assist them.
As soon as the box was opened, the diamond ring inside immediately refracted a dazzling light. MO Xiuchen glanced at the ring, then turned to Wen Ran and said, “There wasn’t enough time to place a custom order, so this style is rather simple. If you don’t like it, we can have them custom-make a pair. In the meantime, you can wear this one.”
Wen Ran shook her head smiling, “There’s no need to custom-make a ring. This design is beautiful, simple and elegant. I like it.”
Seeing that she wasn’t lying, a faint smile appeared on MO Xiuchen’s lips. He took the ring from the box held by the saleswoman and said gently, “Hold out
your hand!”
Wen Ran’s eyes twinkled, and in front of Mr. Wang and the saleswoman, she extended her hand.
The moment MO Xiuchen held her hand, her heart involuntarily trembled. Watching him gently slide the ring onto her finger and the coolness seeping from the ring to her heart, a complicated feeling emerged within her.
It was similar to the feelings she had the day they picked up their marriage certificate, indescribable in words.
“It’s beautiful!”
After MO Xiuchen put on the ring for her, he stared at it for a few seconds, the smile on his lips widening. Bathed under the bright crystal chandelier, he looked handsome and irresistible.
“Mrs. MO’s hand is beautiful, it looks so nice with the ring on.”
The saleswoman at their side said with envy, Wen Ran’s fingers were white, delicate, and on par with a hand model. The ring did look quite beautiful on her.
Ignoring her complex feelings, Wen Ran flashed a radiant smile and said, “It’s the ring that’s beautiful!”
“Is that so? Then you help me put mine on and let’s see if it looks good or not?”
With her radiant smile, MO Xiuchen also cheered up and prompted humorously. The saleswoman and Mr. Wang immediately echoed that he would definitely look good with the ring on. Wen Ran smiled and nodded, saying lightly:
“No problem!”
In the past, she had fantasized about the day she would wear a ring. She would be wearing a bridal gown, surrounded by blessings from loved ones…
But now, marrying a man she barely knew, the only meaning carried by this ring was a symbol of her marital status. It had no other implications.
The large hand extending towards her was long and clean, with distinct joints. Even though this man didn’t love her and she didn’t love him, at this moment, aside from her brother, he was the closest person to her.
She pursed her lips, slid the ring onto his slender finger, gently pushing it up just like he had done when he placed the ring onto her finger….
