My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day-Chapter 588 - 580: Hiding the Diamond Ring

Chen Jiayan glanced at the smiling and beautiful female sales associate before turning his attention back to the dazzling array of jewelry, "I’ll take a look first."

"Sure, please take your time."

Such customers were known by sales associates to have the desire to purchase but were indecisive.

Having finally waited for a client, the female sales associate’s enthusiasm did not wane, "Sir, are you considering buying a gift for your girlfriend? I can help you choose."

Chen Jiayan slightly raised his eyes to look at her and said seriously, "It’s not a gift."

"Hmm?"

"I need a ring," Chen Jiayan paused, adding, "A ring for a proposal."

"Ah, a proposal?"

Handsome men all have their significant others, indeed.

"How about this ring over here?"

The sales associate led Chen Jiayan to a counter and took out a diamond ring from the transparent display case, "Sir, this is a hexagonal star diamond."

Chen Jiayan inspected the diamond ring over and over.

The store’s lighting was bright, and the diamond, sparkling on his hand, refracted six rays of light that reflected in the depth of his eyes.

Even the female sales associate was momentarily enthralled by Chen Jiayan as she cheerfully said with a professional smile, "In fairy tales, it’s said that everyone has their own guardian star in the sky, whether in the past, present, or future, that star always guards only one person, shining and radiating warmth just for them. Its symbolism is also very good; it represents loving only one person for life."

"Loving only one person."

Chen Jiayan returned the diamond ring, "I’ll take this one. My girlfriend’s size is..."

The ring was placed inside a velvet box, which was then put into a designer bag.

After paying, Chen Jiayan walked out of the store, bag in hand.

Just as he set the bag on the passenger seat, Chen Jiayan’s phone rang.

He closed the car door and took out his phone, seeing that it was a call from Xie Baola, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards.

He answered the phone, sat in the driver’s seat, and closed the door, his voice full of pleasure, "Baola."

"What are you doing?"

Chen Jiayan glanced at the ring bag next to him, a slight smile spreading across his eyes, "Just out buying some things."

"What kind of things?"

Her voice was sweet, and when she lifted the end of her words, it sounded even sweeter, as if sugar had infused it.

As it reached Chen Jiayan’s ears, his heart felt a tickling sensation, a burst of eagerness to give her the diamond ring arose.

But it was just a fleeting impulse.

Now was not the time.

"Are you coming to my place later?" Chen Jiayan asked with restraint.

Xie Baola sighed, "I’ve got some things to take care of today; I’ll see you after I’m done."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Chen Jiayan drove home and concealed the diamond ring just in case Xie Baola arrived and discovered it.

Otherwise, there would be no surprise left.

...

On the day of Shen Dang’s proposal.

Su Tutu excitedly dragged Xie Baola out.

Boss Shen was planning a proposal on a cruise ship.

Though the method seemed somewhat old-fashioned, it was undeniably brimming with ultimate romance.

Probably no girl dislikes romance built upon wealth.

It was now the afternoon, the sunlight not overly fierce, and the breeze across the river was stronger than on land, blowing comfortably.

Su Tutu watched the staff set up the venue.

In addition to the flowers and balloons needed for the proposal tonight.

The cruise’s banquet hall was also filled with snacks, pastries, and beverages for the guests attending that evening.

Su Tutu picked up a pastry and nudged Xie Baola’s shoulder, "Boss Shen has really splurged today."

Xie Baola smiled, "For proposing to Xixi, how could he not bleed a little? He’s taking Xixi away so easily; he’s got a bargain."

While speaking, she hummed softly.

Su Tutu nodded frantically, empathizing deeply, "He got a bargain indeed to be able to marry a fairy."

A flower had fallen to the ground.

Xie Baola bent over to pick it up, plucked a petal, and casually tossed it outside.

The wind carried the petal in circles midair before it slowly descended onto the river’s surface and drifted away with the current.

Su Tutu gazed at the beautiful and radiant woman beside her, "Paula." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Xie Baola turned her eyes towards her, "Hmm?"

Su Tutu gossiped with a gleeful smile, "When does your man plan to propose to you? Everyone but Xixi knows about Boss Shen’s proposal; did your man also plan to propose to you tonight?"

Xie Baola shook her head with a smile, "No."

Su Tutu’s eyebrows arched, "So certain?"

Xie Baola continued to pluck another petal, unconcerned, "We’re still passionately in love. Why propose now? We’re not at that stage yet."

Su Tutu clicked her tongue, "You’ve been dating for so long, and you’re still in the heat of romance?"

Xie Baola’s red lips gorgeously curled into a smile, "Every day with Chen Jiayan is passionate love."

Was she proud?

Indeed, she was proud!

Seeing her feigned pride, Su Tutu clicked her tongue again, "You’ve fallen for Chen Jiayan, but shouldn’t you want to get married quickly when you’re in love?"

After all, Xie Baola had pursued Chen Jiayan for so long; she had thought they would move marriage up their agenda.

Xie Baola simply said, "The time isn’t right yet."

Su Tutu didn’t ask anymore.

Before the start of Shen Dang’s proposal ceremony, Xie Baola and Chen Jiayan arrived at the cruise ship.

By now, Shen Dang’s invited guests had arrived.

There were staff members from the show, colleagues from Qiao Xi’s entertainment circle, and friends from outside the circle; it was crowded and lively.

At the moment, the female lead had not yet arrived.

Chen Jiayan and Xie Baola were talking on the side.

Among tonight’s guests was someone from a show.

Seeing Xie Baola’s stunning beauty, very suitable for the camera, he set his sights on her.

"Miss, I think you have an image very fit for television. You..."

"Sorry," Xie Baola interrupted him, "my boyfriend does not like me attracting public attention."

Attracting public attention, what’s that?

What era are we in now?

The other party still wanted to persuade.

Chen Jiayan directly said, "My girlfriend is a film director."

The other party, "..."

Sorry for disturbing you.

Xie Baola’s red lips curved slightly, "Chen Jiayan, I think you look particularly handsome when you say ’my girlfriend.’"

But Chen Jiayan was actually frowning slightly, "You’re so beautiful, are you content just working behind the scenes?"

"Of course."

Being a star is too tiring—who would want that?

She didn’t lack money.

She only liked making movies.

Chen Jiayan "hmm"-ed, "Behind the scenes is also good."

He even wanted to hide her away.

Before long, Su Tutu brought Qiao Xi onto the cruise ship.

She was no longer needed.

Su Tutu slipped back into the banquet hall.

"I acted well just now, didn’t I? Xixi didn’t notice anything, right?"

"Teacher Su, your acting is always good."

"Teacher Qiao certainly doesn’t know that Boss Shen will propose tonight."

Friendly remarks were exchanged.

Among the crowd, Su Tutu only looked towards Sheng Chao.

Her eyes were filled with brightness.
