Chapter 91 - Rings
Mu Chen held Song Ning's hand and ran out, completely ignoring the laughter of Jiahui and the others.
After they got into the car, before Song Ning had a chance to fasten her seatbelt, Mu Chen began to kiss her. Pressed against the seat of the car as he kissed her, she felt embarrassed.
Finally, Mu Chen managed to stop himself. He looked at the angry and embarrassed Song Ning before he said solemnly, "Thank you for acknowledging me in front of Professor Li."
At this moment, Song Ning finally realized Mu Chen was moved because she had answered in the affirmative when Professor Li Sen asked if she had decided on Mu Chen. She lowered her head in embarrassment and pretended to adjust her seatbelt.
Mu Chen started the car before he said, "Now we have to do something very important."
"What is it?" Song Ning asked curiously..
Mu Chen smiled but did not answer.
Song Ning looked at him and found it funny. Sometimes, Mu Chen was like a child. Previously, when Jiahui searched for Mu Chen on the Internet, she had said he was a typical aloof president of a conglomerate. However, in front of her and his grandmother, he was never aloof. In fact, he was rather cute. A small smile appeared on her face when she thought about this.
…
When Mu Chen's car pulled up to the entrance of a shopping mall in the center of the city, Song Ning was surprised.
Once they entered the mall, Mu Chen did not waste time and pulled her to a jewelry store.
Realization dawned on Song Ning immediately. "Are you going to buy me a ring?"
Mu Chen wrapped his arm around Song Ning's shoulders and led her into the store. As his gaze swept across the displays, he said, "No, I'm going to buy us a pair of rings…"
A salesperson stepped forward immediately. "Sir, are you planning to buy a pair of rings?'
"Yes," Mu Chen responded immediately. He was very satisfied with the salesperson's perceptiveness.
The salesperson brought them to a display and pointed at the rings in the front row. "This is the most popular style this year. What do you think?"
Song Ning gave a cursory glance at the rows of sparkling rings and thought they were beautiful. However, when she saw the serious expression on Mu Chen's face, she followed his gaze and looked at the rings one by one.
"Which one do you like?" Mu Chen asked.
Song Ning found his seriousness in looking at the ring amusing and replied, "I like all of them."
Mu Chen was briefly taken aback by her answer. When he regained his senses, he looked at her with a smile and asked, "Do you want to know one of my strengths?"
Before Song Ning could reply, Mu Chen turned to the salesperson and said, "I want all the rings on display here."
Upon hearing these words, Song Ning was shocked. She hit Mu Chen's arm before she hurriedly said to the salesperson, "I'm sorry. He's just joking…"
The salesperson remained professional. He smiled and said, "Both of you really have a good relationship. Why don't I introduce a few collections to you?"
Song Ning was rather interested so she nodded to thank the salesperson.
Following that, the salesperson introduced each collection meticulously and explained the concept and meaning of each collection.
Song Ning listened attentively, rather satisfied with the salesperson's explanations.
The salesperson said with a smile, "These are all platinum and diamond rings, gold and gem rings, and just pure gold or platinum ones. It all depends on your preference. However, in my personal opinion, your complexion is fair, miss. Therefore, whether it's gold or platinum, they both will suit you very well. You should just choose the design you like…"
Song Ning's eyes were dazzled. At this moment, she really felt she liked all of them. However, she did not say anything, afraid Mu Chen would really buy all of the rings. At that time, it would turn into a joke.
Mu Chen frowned, seemingly dissatisfied. He asked the salesperson, "Are there any unique designs? The price isn't a problem."
The salesperson hesitated for a moment. "Sir, what kind of concept or design do you like? Do you have a general idea of what you want? I'll be able to make better recommendations if I know your preference."
Mu Chen thought about it for a moment before he said, "Concept? Something that says I'm willing to give the world to her like the stars worshipping the moon…"
Song Ning's face flushed red when she heard Mu Chen's words. She subtly nudged him.
Mu Chen only turned to look at her with a wide smile on his face.
The salesperson was unruffled. He said with a smile, "In fact, our chairman had commissioned a design for his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. However, we don't have the finished product, and they're actually not for sale. However, I can show you a picture of them."
Mu Chen's eyes lit up. "Let me have a look."
Song Ning was embarrassed by his enthusiasm and could not help but gently hit his arm again.
While the salesperson went to get the photo, Mu Chen seized the opportunity and kissed Song Ning's forehead. "Picking wedding rings is something that I'll only do once in my life so I want to get something I really like…"
Song Ning glanced at him and said teasingly, "Are you sure? According to Ye Cheng, you and Ye Xin only have a small misunderstanding, and you're just doing this on a whim…"
Mu Chen's smile faltered when he heard these words.
Song Ning cocked an eyebrow and looked at him with a smirk.
After a brief pause, Mu Chen laughed and whispered into her ear, "Are you jealous?"
Song Ning hit his arm and pushed him away as she said, "You're dreaming. There's no way I'm jealous."
Mu Chen wore an aggrieved expression on his face as he replied, "Fine. You're not jealous, but I'm jealous. I just want to let the world know that you're my wife. The Fu family shouldn't have any unnecessary thoughts about you. I want you to wear my ring so they can see you're already taken."
