Chapter 418: It seems he should be pulled out.
"Yeah!" Ji Niandong’s expression turned cold, and then she asked, "By the way, husband, didn’t I ask you last time to help find Shen Congjun? Have you found him yet?"
Ever since she changed how she addressed him, she seemed to have become more coquettish!
Lu Beichen held the steering wheel with one hand and gently rubbed his lips with the other, "Looks like it’s time to track him down!"
"It’s not about time, it’s a must!" Ji Niandong emphasized, "Not only did he deceive me for so many years, but he also took the compensation money from the accident. I have to get that money back!"
Lu Beichen had already started the car and asked, "Back then, that house was supposed to be bought with that money as a marriage home for you and Shen Congjun, right?"
"Husband, how did you know?" Ji Niandong asked, then realized she had asked too much.
Lu Beichen said lightly, "Such a big incident, your car accident! With Shen Congjun’s capabilities, he shouldn’t have had the power to deceive your father and take all the compensation money. Since your father agreed to use that money, it must have been for your sake!"
Listening to him, it seemed like her father had always been thinking of her! She blamed herself for stubbornly seeking out the wrong person, creating such a situation for someone to exploit!
Ji Niandong still felt a bit melancholic inside, but she didn’t dwell on it!
The car soon arrived at the bustling city center, where the streets were lined with malls, and people of all ages appeared in pairs.
Lu Beichen parked the car in a nearby square and walked with the little woman hand in hand.
Because of the diverse crowd, they didn’t stand out much. Ji Niandong excitedly pulled him along as they strolled down the street.
"Husband, what do you think we should buy?" Ji Niandong pondered, "I’ve thought about this many times lately, but I just can’t decide what to get! Honestly, when I think about it, I’m not even sure what Dad likes."
"Since it’s for their wedding, why not buy them a pair of rings?" Lu Beichen suggested.
Ji Niandong puffed up her cheeks and shook her head, "We don’t even have our own!"
Lu Beichen chuckled, pulling her into his embrace, "I said when you wanted a hidden marriage, don’t feel wronged later. Are you feeling wronged now?"
"Of course not!" She leaned against his chest, letting him guide her, "I just envy others occasionally!"
Her eyes lit up, "There’s a jewelry store right up ahead, let’s go check it out!"
As she led him inside, Lu Beichen asked, "What’s this store?"
Ji Niandong immediately caught his meaning and whispered, "Oh! Husband, you’re used to high-end stuff, but this brand caters to the masses, and the gold content is substantial! People Dad’s age are just right for wearing gold!"
"Is this lady buying for her father? The styles here are more suited for younger people. Do you want to look inside where the styles are a bit more mature?" The sales clerk saw an opportunity and said.
Ji Niandong gave a look and pulled Lu Beichen along. The clerk recommended a few sets, but Ji Niandong frowned and shook her head at each, "This pattern is too tacky, the chain’s texture here seems too large, and this pair’s shape is... asymmetrical, right?"
Ji Niandong pointed out several issues at once, and the sales clerk glanced awkwardly at Lu Beichen, "Really?"
