4691 Never Too Late to Love (98)
Five minutes later.
Gu Chengze brought Bai Sheng to Cartier’s counter.
It was only when Bai Sheng saw the diamond rings and necklaces displayed in the counter that she suddenly realized what the man said he had to buy.
“A ring?” Bai Sheng was pleasantly surprised.
Actually, she was probably different from most girls. She had a preference for clothing. Perhaps it was because she was a fashion professional, so she was more sensitive to fashion. She was not as passionate about diamonds.
However, a diamond ring held special meaning to her. To her, this was a token.
The shop assistant greeted them warmly. “Good afternoon, Sir and Madam. Are you here to select a diamond ring?”
“Uh huh.”
“Are you looking for an engagement ring or a wedding ring?”
Gu Chengze looked at Bai Sheng and said, “Engagement ring.”
“Let’s go for a wedding ring!” Bai Sheng suggested, “We are already married, we can just buy a wedding ring.”
The shop assistant began to introduce the collection enthusiastically. “May I know what the budget is? I can make some suggestions.”
“It’s fine.” Gu Chengze said, “Let her choose one for herself.”
“Oh, okay.” The shop assistant stood in front of the counter and looked at Bai Sheng with a smile.
Bai Sheng looked at the various styles of diamond rings displayed in the display cabinet. At a glance, she saw all kinds of dazzling and eye-catching jewelry. Coupled with the strong lighting at the jewelry counter, she felt giddy for a moment.
“Actually… it doesn’t matter what I wear.”
Gu Chengze took a fancy to a diamond ring that was placed in the most eye-catching position. The diamond was especially big, about a carat in size. He pointed at the diamond ring and instructed the shop assistant, “This model, is it convenient to take it out and let us have a look?”
“Of course.” As the shop assistant spoke, she put on those familiar velvet gloves and carefully took out the diamond ring.
Bai Sheng looked at the diamond ring and immediately said, “I don’t really like it.”
“What’s the matter?” The shop assistant was also a little surprised. “This diamond ring is very unique. Moreover, the diamond has very good clarity…”
“It’s too big.”
“Too big?” This was the first time the shop assistant had encountered a woman complaining about a diamond being too big. After all, the bigger the diamond, the more it was worth showing off.
Unless they were poor. Only the poor would despise big diamonds. After all, you get what you pay for. The bigger the diamond, the more expensive it would be.
The shop assistant immediately looked disappointed. She could see, the man had a good disposition. For a moment she thought she had gotten lucky and was going to secure a huge commission.
Gu Chengze laughed. “Isn’t it good to have a bigger diamond?”
“I think it causes inconvenience.”
“Take it off when it’s in the way!” The shop assistant pretended to be innocent and said, “A woman who wears a diamond ring of more than a carat doesn’t need to do housework. Even if she wears it in the shower, she won’t find it inconvenient.”
“It’s such a big diamond that it’ll catch on the fabric of the dresses I wear.”
“Then take it off when you’re getting dressed and put it back on.”
“But…” Bai Sheng could not tell that the shop assistant’s attitude had changed. She said quietly, “Since the diamond ring is a token of marriage, I have no intention of taking it off after putting it on.”
“Uh…”
Gu Chengze looked at her silently.
“I think it’s better if the ring doesn’t protrude too much. I’ll never take it off after putting it on. I think this is the most fundamental meaning of a diamond ring, isn’t it?”
