Chapter 102: Chapter 88: Out with the Old, In with the New (Part 3)

She used to be just like these sales associates, waiting on customers hand and foot, terrified of displeasing them in the slightest.

But today, it was her turn to be served, and the feeling was completely different.

"You’ll get used to it."

Qi Sheng wrapped his arm around Miduo’s stunning figure, eager to get her to a hotel and rekindle their passion.

As they passed a Cartier store, Qi Sheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What is it?"

Miduo glanced at the Cartier store, finding it odd that Qi Sheng would be interested in a jewelry brand so popular with women.

"Let’s go take a look."

Qi Sheng kept her in suspense, pulling her by the hand into the Cartier store.

"Welcome to Cartier. How may I help you?"

The sales associate’s smile grew even warmer when she noticed the Chanel shopping bags in their hands.

"We’d like to see some rings."

Qi Sheng glanced at Miduo, who still hadn’t caught on.

He led her to the ring counter, following the sales associate.

Seeing the dazzling array of rings, Miduo seemed to fall into a daze.

She suddenly remembered coming here with Li Chengqian to pick out wedding rings before they got married.

Li Chengqian didn’t have much money back then, but he had insisted on buying her a wedding ring from Cartier.

In the end, they could only afford the cheapest style.

For that, they had even been subjected to the sales associate’s scornful gaze.

But she hadn’t minded at all and had worn it ever since.

Later, Li Chengqian worked hard and made something of himself.

He made money, but he spent it on other women.

"This one’s nice."

Qi Sheng pointed to a diamond ring, signaling for the sales associate to take it out.

Wearing black velvet gloves, the sales associate carefully took out a pair of matching rings and began her introduction in a soft voice. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Sir, this diamond ring is from our LOVE collection. It’s a matching set for couples."

"Both rings are set with 66 round brilliant-cut diamonds."

"The price for the set is 168,000."

Qi Sheng nodded and pulled the still-dazed Miduo’s left hand onto the counter.

He slipped the ring with its barely-visible diamond off her ring finger.

Then, he slid the rose gold diamond ring onto her slender, fair finger.

Miduo snapped back to reality. Seeing Qi Sheng place the new diamond ring on her finger, she understood his intention.

’Out with the old, in with the new.’

’This guy is so domineering!’

Miduo gave a helpless smile, but a sweet feeling blossomed in her heart.

With this ring on her ring finger, her status remained that of a married woman.

The only difference was that her man was now Qi Sheng.

Once Qi Sheng put on the men’s ring, the matching design and identical diamond count made them look like a perfect pair.

The sales associate watched with envy as their hands, one large and one small, intertwined their fingers tightly.

"Sir, you treat your wife so well. They say it’s easy for a man to forget the wife who stood by him through thick and thin, but I can see you’re one of the few good ones."

The sales associate had meant to flatter him, but she’d put her foot in her mouth.

Miduo’s face flushed with embarrassment.

But she couldn’t very well explain to the sales associate that Qi Sheng wasn’t her husband.

’But if he wasn’t her husband, why would he be buying her a wedding ring?’

So, Miduo chose to remain silent.

"Of course. My wife is this beautiful; naturally, she deserves better."

Qi Sheng teased Miduo with a pointed look, earning an annoyed, blushing glare in return.

"Alright, let’s pay," Qi Sheng said, not dwelling on it.

"Of course. Would you also like to see our watches? The Ballon Bleu collection is currently on sale."

Seeing how readily Qi Sheng had decided to make the purchase, the sales associate decided to try and upsell him on their watches.

"We won’t be looking at watches. The Ballon Bleu collection is rather plain."

Qi Sheng’s bluntness left the sales associate with no choice but to laugh awkwardly.

For an ordinary woman, a Cartier Ballon Bleu was an unattainable luxury.

But for socialites or wealthy women, Cartier watches were truly just entry-level.

If anyone else had said that, the sales associate would have likely rolled her eyes at them.

But Qi Sheng was different. He had just casually spent over a hundred thousand.

And he was wearing a Roger Dubuis watch worth millions.

With that kind of terrifying wealth, even his farts would be considered fragrant.

Miduo also breathed a sigh of relief. She could barely bring herself to accept the diamond ring.

If Qi Sheng had also gifted her a watch worth hundreds of thousands, she felt she would truly have no way to repay him other than to bear him a son.
