"Jie!" came in the hard apathetic yet familiar voice as the door of the store was pushed open.
The manager was all surprised. Today was really a special day in his life history. The young future CEO of Li Corporation and the Devil of the Business World alias CEO of w.a.n.g Corporations are present in his store. He quickly greeted him, "President w.a.n.g!"
Looking who has appeared, Lifen didn"t show any emotions or expressions. She maintained her calmness and turned back to look at the Manager. The manager quickly replied politely with a nod, "Wait a little Madam, your jewellery has been processed for billing procedure. You can come to the cash counter and carry on the further process".
At the same time,Jie turned to look at the door. Though the last night, she had a bad conversation with Deming but at this moment in front of someone like Lifen who was eyeing on her boyfriend, she can"t let her know about that. The rift between the her and Deming should remain unknown to her, it was just a couple bickering, that"s all.
She calmed herself down and ran to Deming. "Brother Ming! You are here. I thought if calling for the shopping but then I disposed off the thought realising that you would be busy with your work. Now you have come, let"s shop together. I have yet to buy our engagement rings", she said while hugging him tight and placing her head over his chest. She could hear his heart beating hard. She smiled thinking it was because she has hugged him and he could feel her close presence.
Though the hug was only from her and he hasn"t wrapped his arms around her, how stupid of her to think like that.
She popped her head in his embrace, thinking something wasn"t right. The wrong thing that greeted her eyes was his gaze that was completely over the girl who was deliberately ignoring her again and again.
The time he has entered the store, his eyes were fixed on Lifen as if trying to grasp everything that he could until she was in his range of sight. He knew very well that the next moment she will disappear from his sight without even giving a glance to him.
He was working in the w.a.n.g Corporation headquarters when he received a text from his man whom he had appointed a little long ago to keep an eye on Lifen to ensure her safety after she got into the relations.h.i.+p with Chang. The text contained an image where Jie was saying something to Lifen and in the background there was an ugly expression on Daiyu and Guang faces. He some how understood that Jie might have something ugly to Lifen, so he rushed to the Fas.h.i.+onista Square.
He was disappointed with Jie from the last night, now again today she has done something to upset him again. But at the same time he was quite desirous to see Lifen again.
As expected by him, when his entered the store he has heard Jie"s words that further disappointed her.
"Brother Ming! I am here where are you looking. Let"s go and look for engagement ring first", Jie tightened her arms around Deming to let him know her presence.
"Mmm" came the response but his eyes were still penetrating throughout the way to gaze at the beautiful pet.i.te girl who was now lavishly controlling his each and every beat of his heart.
Jie can sense his ignorance toward her. She gritted her teeth in anger and pulled Deming to the counter. "Show us the best and the most expensive designs of engagement rings", she ordered a sales girl.
After some time, the sales girl started showcasing the expensive design of the engagement rings. Jie was getting through the designs with full intensity while Deming was just ignoring everything around her.
Then suddenly his eyes dropped on something at far gla.s.s case which reminded him that Lifen loved to wear small jewellery pieces on her ears. She was actually quite fond of the jewellery which wasn"t too extravagant but at the same time seemed to be elegant and suited for her. And that way she has always teamed her dresses with small studs on her ears, a bracelet and a small pendant around her neck.
He stood up from his chair and walked to the gla.s.s case where he had fixed his eyes. Jie saw him pacing and then standing there gazing at the gla.s.s case filled with several earrings.
"Miss, it seems like your boyfriend is going to gift you something on your engagement. You are really lucky", the sales girl said to Jie which resulted in a blush expression on her face. She then continued to look for a suitable pair of engagement rings.
Deming was gazing at the earrings while imagining it on Lifen"s beautiful fair ears. The earrings were quite simple in design but it"s simplicity was carrying an elegance. With one look he can say, it will suit her the best. It was of two beautiful white diamonds, one of a slight elongated oval shape on the top while the other of a teardrop shape below it, giving it a little hanging look. The length of the earring was approx. 2cm, which would come under her liking.
He then gestured a sales girl, "Pack this up and bill it on my name. And also wrap it well". When he again gazed at the cash counter, she was already no where seen. She had already left the store without even glancing at him.
He again walked to the counter when Jie had almost selected the engagement ring. "Look at this Brother Ming, isn"t this beautiful. It would be the best on our fingers", Jie squealed.
"It doesn"t concern me. Choose whichever you like. I will just make you wear it, that"s it", Deming said nonchalantly.
His words made her delighted heart a little sour but at this moment in front of him, she can"t lose her calmness, "Okay! What did you buys for me? I just saw you over there. Was that a surprise?".
"It doesn"t concern you. It wasn"t for you and I don"t think I need to explain any further things to you. I have already made myself clear last night. If you are done here then, go and bill it under my name", Deming said without looking at her. He dialed a number and said, "Bring the car at the entrance, I am heading out". He then turned to leave.
"Brother Ming, won"t you take me with you?", Jie asked while clenching her fist tightly.
"The driver is there with your car. He will drive you home safely", he said and left the shop taking the brocade box of earrings from the sales girl.
