Chapter 1371 - 1364: The Proposal is Underway (22)
"That won’t do, how many carats is this, not even three carats right? How much could this ring possibly be worth?" Lu Weixi intentionally played with the ring, comparing it here and there, picking and choosing, completely looking like someone who got a bargain and is still acting cute.
This expression was all too familiar to Qin Zhiyou; it was exactly like her cocky princess attitude when she was younger, when she used to act spoiled with Qin Zhigu.
Over the years, the burdens of family and her own emotional struggles had worn Lu Weixi down. Not to speak of acting spoiled, she wouldn’t even say anything unreasonable. She knew she had no one to rely on but herself, so acting spoiled was out of the question.
Now, she’s getting more and more angry at him, bursting into tears or laughter at the drop of a hat, locking him out—even though sometimes it’s hard to accept, upon reflection, does her being upset and sad with him, showing him her temper, mean that she’s gradually opening her heart to him?
Qin Zhiyou smiled: "Alright, next time I’ll buy you a hundred-carat diamond raw gem. You can grind it down to whatever shape you like, how about that?"
"Sure, you buy it, and I’ll watch you grind it," Lu Weixi chuckled. Although she often smiled, it was rare for her to laugh as confidently and sincerely as she used to. Squinting slightly now, her normally round almond eyes resembled crescent moons and showcased beautiful "sleepy silkworm" fine lines under them. Her slightly parted lips revealed a row of pearly white teeth, and at the corner of her mouth, a small dimple appeared.
Though ten years have passed, everything still seemed as beautiful as when they first met. Despite taking some detours, it was good he hadn’t given up.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Weixi noticed Qin Zhiyou’s gaze and shyly lowered her head, her face gradually blushing.
"I’m buying you a diamond ring, what will you give me?" Qin Zhiyou’s gaze remained intensely on her, unflinching.
