BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 - 53: Mr. Qi is in Love
After less than ten minutes, Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai received their marriage certificate. Before they left, the staff handed them a piece of paper. Qi Shenbai glanced at the contents on it, carefully folded the paper, and placed it in his suit pocket.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at the marriage certificate and grinned like an idiot. “Now, once we post the marriage certificate online, the problem will go away, right?”
Qi Shenbai looked at the girl in front of him meaningfully and nodded in response.
Xu Jiaojiao was genuinely happy. “That’s great. I can finally do my part to help you, if only a little.”
Qi Shenbai stared at her. “This is more than just a little. You’ve helped me a lot.” He was handsome and charming, and a faint smile appeared on his tightly pursed thin lips.
Xu Jiaojiao was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses and pretended to look away as if nothing had happened. She lowered her head and touched her burning earlobe.
‘Come on, why are you blushing?! You look like a fool!’
Qi Shenbai had other things to do in the afternoon, so he arranged for Pei Yan to send Xu Jiaojiao back to the hotel. He told her to wait in the hotel obediently and not run around. He would be back soon to take her out for dinner.
Xu Jiaojiao was considerate, so she told him not to worry and go do his thing. She would wait for him obediently at the hotel.
When Qi Shenbai arrived at a certain haute couture jewelry store, some of the senior executives of the company had already been waiting in the store for a long time.
Seeing Qi Shenbai walk in, the executives immediately smiled and went up to him. They said solemnly and respectfully, “Mr. Qi, we’ve all done our research. This is the most famous jewelry shop in Ireland. Many celebrities, both domestic and abroad, ordered their custom wedding rings from this place.”
Qi Shenbai’s handsome face was expressionless as he nodded.
“Mr. Qi, is our company planning to dabble in the jewelry industry?” one of the higher-ups asked carefully. “In my opinion, it might be better to just buy the mine and excavate it ourselves before selling the finished product.”
Qi Shenbai neither agreed nor disagreed. Under the guidance of the shop manager, he walked into the VIP room and sat on the sofa. He loosened his tie with one hand, and it was impossible to tell what he was feeling right now.
The executive who had spoken went pale. Did they say something that made their boss unhappy?
The manager arranged for a few trays to be sent in. Wedding rings of different styles and sizes rested on the black velvet cloth. The only thing every item had in common was that none of the diamonds on them were less than ten carats.
Qi Shenbai took a look and said calmly, “What kind of design do younger girls usually like?”
Me, me, MEEE!!! The executive who misspoke just now leaped to offer his opinion. “Mr. Qi, all women, regardless of age, prefer bigger diamonds. My wife keeps saying that the smaller ones don’t count. She won’t settle for anything less than ten carats!”
The other higher-ups agreed. “Don’t they say that the design pales in comparison to the size? The bigger the better!”
Qi Shenbai’s sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly. His executives were not wrong, but he did not like what they were saying. His feelings could not be measured by simply the size of the diamond.
“Bring me another batch.”
The manager immediately called for a new batch of people to come in. The wide coffee table was filled with diamond rings. They were dazzling under the light.
At a glance, Qi Shenbai noticed a ring placed in the corner. Although the diamond was not the largest here, its holder was different. It was shaped like a petal, and in the center of the petal was a pink gem that symbolized love.
When the manager saw that his gaze was fixed on the ring, he explained the design concept of the ring to Qi Shenbai. It represented the earnest desire to dote on his lover like a princess for the rest of his life.
“I’ll take this one, then.” Qi Shen tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers.
The executives were stunned, and they secretly exchanged glances. Could someone tell them what was happening now? Why did Mr. Qi buy a diamond ring that symbolized love?! Who was he going to give it to? Could the rumors online be true? Was Mr. Qi in love?
The executives subconsciously recalled the face they had briefly seen and were shocked. Mr. Qi was really a pedophile!
What else could they do for him? Should they immediately think of a way to block the news for him, or should they contact the public relations department to make PR preparations? If they did that, though… Wouldn’t they be accomplices in his crime?
Qi Shenbai returned to the hotel with the diamond ring. He did not know that his executives had already mentally labeled him a pedophile.
He slowly pushed open the door and saw the girl sitting on the carpet. She was holding a fountain pen and a sketchbook the size of her palm. She was so focused on drawing that she did not even notice that someone had come into the room..
