Chapter 842 - 844: Necklace for the Proposal, Rings for the Wedding
CHAPTER 842: CHAPTER 844: NECKLACE FOR THE PROPOSAL, RINGS FOR THE WEDDING
Oh my god, that’s way too fast!
Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, snatched the necklace so quickly, it far exceeded Lin Fei’s expectations.
Although Lin Fei had already anticipated that once he revealed the origin of the necklace, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, would definitely be very interested.
But no matter what, Lin Fei clearly did not expect that Mu Shanshan would act the instant his words finished.
She went straight to snatch it!
Yes, snatch!
If this were out on the street, and some busybody who didn’t know about their marital relationship saw it, they would probably think Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, was committing robbery.
After all, the "daughter-in-law exclusive necklace" that Lin Fei took out really did look impressive.
A pure South African purple diamond, a 24K pure platinum chain, designed by a top-notch expert. Even someone who knows nothing about jewelry can see at a glance that this necklace is extraordinarily valuable.
In fact, the necklace is extraordinary both in terms of symbolic significance and economic value!
No need to say much about the symbolic significance, this is the "daughter-in-law exclusive necklace" that Lin Fei’s mother specially ordered for her future daughter-in-law before she passed away.
The one and only!
To a certain extent, this necklace represents Lin Fei’s mother’s approval of the daughter-in-law. It could even be considered a family heirloom.
In short, whichever woman receives this necklace is Lin Family’s daughter-in-law in both traditional and nominal terms!
Even Lin Fei cannot deny this.
After all, Lin Fei’s mother is no longer around, and this necklace has inevitably become Lin Fei’s mother’s and even Lin Fei’s parents’ mutual approval and sole gift to the daughter-in-law.
The significance is truly immense.
Moreover, besides these symbolic meanings, the economic value of the necklace is also significant.
Back then, although Lin Fei’s mother had a spontaneous idea to order such a "daughter-in-law exclusive necklace", a substantial amount of money was spent.
The design fee alone costed over one hundred thousand Iron Coins. Including the value of the purple diamond and the platinum chain, the entire necklace is conservatively estimated to be worth over three million Iron Coins.
Of course, neither Lin Fei nor Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, cared much about the economic value. What both truly cared about was clearly the symbolic significance of this necklace.
Especially Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, she obviously cared a lot.
After all, Lin Fei, this cheap husband, is well-known for being flirtatious, and the woman is not oblivious to that. If by any chance, this necklace fell into someone else’s hands, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, would clearly have some difficulty in rightly being considered the Lin family’s legitimate daughter-in-law.
Back in Zhonghai when she heard from Butcher that Lin Fei’s mother had prepared such a "daughter-in-law exclusive necklace,"
Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, truly had the urge to strangle Lin Fei back then.
This necklace was clearly prepared for her, yet Lin Fei, this cheap husband, didn’t give it to her.
For this matter, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, has been quite resentful.
If it weren’t for Lin Fei’s oath back then assuring her the necklace wasn’t given to anyone else, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, clearly wouldn’t have let this matter slide so easily.
Now, Lin Fei took out this "daughter-in-law exclusive necklace" himself, so naturally, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, wanted to get her hands on it immediately.
As for her image, that was clearly not within the woman’s scope of consideration.
Whether snatching or grabbing, as long as the necklace ended up in her hands.
The process clearly wasn’t important.
Just like how at this moment, after snatching the necklace from Lin Fei’s hands, all of Mu Shanshan’s focus shifted entirely to the necklace. As for Lin Fei, this cheap husband was selectively ignored by the woman.
Women have a natural, inexplicable fascination with jewelry that men can’t comprehend. This is something very few women can resist.
Even someone as inherently aloof as Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, though she doesn’t have the excessive obsession with jewelry like ordinary women, obviously wouldn’t mind owning such a costly and meaningful necklace for life.
Of course, the premise is that she must be certain this is the necklace that Lin’s mother prepared for the Lin family daughter-in-law before she passed.
After examining it for a few minutes, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, with a hint of hesitation in her clear watery eyes, looked straight at Lin Fei and said, "Is this necklace really the one Little Xuan mentioned? You’re not lying to me?"
The moment her words fell, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, stared unblinkingly at Lin Fei, clearly unwilling to miss any possible subtle expression on Lin Fei’s face.
Regarding Mu Shanshan, this CEO wife’s extreme distrust, Lin Fei felt both frustrated and amused at heart.
Fortunately, Lin Fei had somewhat understood his own image in the eyes of Mu Shanshan, this CEO wife. At that moment, under the scrutiny of Mu Shanshan’s lovely eyes, Lin Fei, to dispel the woman’s doubts,
thought briefly, then composed himself, and with a seemingly serious tone, he confidently assured Mu Shanshan, the CEO wife, saying, "I swear on our unborn child’s name, this necklace is absolutely the one my mom prepared for the Lin family daughter-in-law back in the day! If I tell a half-truth, then let me——"
"Enough!" Before Lin Fei could finish, fearing he would say something unfavorable to their future child, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, immediately interrupted Lin Fei coldly.
Then, as if worried Lin Fei would misunderstand something, the woman added, "I believe you now. I’ll take this necklace."
What do you mean you’ll take it? You obviously snatched it, didn’t you!
Lin Fei silently muttered to himself, recalling the unfinished proposal ceremony. Hence, Lin Fei couldn’t help but casually approach Mu Shanshan, the CEO wife, softly speaking, "Honey, give me the necklace——"
"No, it’s mine!"
"...I know it’s yours, and I can responsibly tell you that this necklace has been yours since just now. You are its only master, no one can take it from you. I’m asking for the necklace not to take it from you. I want to personally put it on you. Don’t forget, I’m proposing to you tonight. Earlier, you didn’t say you’re willing to marry me."
Listening to Lin Fei’s persuading explanation, Mu Shanshan, with her clear watery eyes, stared unblinkingly at Lin Fei for over ten seconds, confirming that Lin Fei wasn’t trying to deceive her anymore.
Only then did the woman reluctantly hand the necklace over to Lin Fei.
After receiving the necklace from Mu Shanshan, the CEO wife, Lin Fei took a deep breath and gently placed the necklace on the woman’s swan-like slender pink neck.
Then, turning the woman’s jade-like shoulders, Lin Fei stared straight into Mu Shanshan, the CEO wife’s clear watery eyes, saying, "I know you’ll be disappointed that I didn’t prepare a ring for the proposal. This is indeed my fault, and I apologize for that. At the same time, I promise you, I will definitely buy you a ring. But not now, rather when I’ve prepared for our wedding day. Then, I will personally put the ring on you."
