Luo Zhou greeted Yu Yue and Bai Xiaoxi, Qi Li and Han Ziyu, and then saw Luo Fei arrive alone at the door.
Everyone couldn't help but be curious.
"You're all about to get married, aren't you? Why didn't she come? Is she afraid to play with us?" Bai Xiaoxi asked curiously.
Luo Fei replied, "She's not in good health, and pregnancy often makes her feel unwell, so I try not to let her travel."
Yu Yue joked, "Ah, as long as she doesn't stand you up on your wedding day, haha."
Everyone laughed, also noticing that Luo Zhou seemed in low spirits.
Just as they were about to ask what was wrong, Cen Ting and Jing Yan arrived together in one car, which was unusual since they were usually not seen acting together despite being future family members.
"Oh, today, how did you two come together?" Qi Li teased, "Where's your cousin?"
Jing Yan said, "His entertainment company project started, so he couldn't accompany Cen Ting. I happened to be at my aunt's place, so we came together."
Cen Ting shrugged and, seeing Luo Fei, said, "By the way, the wedding ring you asked me to make last time is ready. Come to my shop to pick it up later."
Luo Fei immediately nodded with a smile.
"Wow, so among us, only Qin Xian hasn't ordered any jewelry from Cen Ting because of his partner?" Bai Xiaoxi laughed. Their couple's rings were also designed by Cen Ting, a genius jewelry designer, using rare materials, handmade and unique.
"Hey, hey, there's still someone here," said Jing Yan, who was single.
Yu Yue laughed, "Do you plan to stay single for life?"
Jing Yan was momentarily stumped.
Cen Ting suddenly spoke, "Actually, only Jing Yan now, because Qin Xian recently asked me to make an engagement ring."
Everyone was shocked and immediately began asking questions.
But Cen Ting wasn't one to gossip and couldn't elaborate, only expressing his bewilderment at Qin Xian's requirements.
"It has to be investment-worthy, made from the most expensive materials, in short, the most valuable."
Luo Fei's mouth twitched, as he had just ordered a ring himself and had various ideas about its design concept but had never considered the money aspect.
"A ring should be designed with sincerity, how can it be measured by commercial value? Qin Xian really lacks emotional intelligence," he said.
"I said the same," Cen Ting, who was persistent about jewelry design, was also annoyed by such a nouveau riche request. "But he said Ji Fei likes this kind of thing."
Although everyone was skeptical, they didn't dwell on the issue too much, as just the news of the engagement ring was enough to keep them buzzing.
It really proved once again that Qin Xian had put his heart into his relationship with Ji Fei. Otherwise, given Qin Xian's character and their previous relationship, he would have just bought a ring from a jewelry store instead of specially asking their friend to design one.
After all, asking Cen Ting to design jewelry for one's partner was just a joke they had while drinking together during university.
Now Qin Xian had actually followed through on that agreement, which was quite amusing to think about.
"Great, with Luo Fei and Qin Xian, we have three couples in our group, safe and sound," Bai Xiaoxi laughed.
"Ah?" Luo Fei didn't react.
Yu Yue laughed, "Didn't Qi Li and Luo Zhou both ask Cen Ting to make jewelry before? But they both broke up, so my dear is worried."
Cen Ting gave Bai Xiaoxi a speechless look.
Bai Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue, and Qi Li immediately glared at her, not wanting to be reminded of his ex-girlfriend.
Han Ziyu, who was pretending to be a stand-in, acted like she hadn't heard anything, though she remembered that this guy sometimes gave her special earrings to wear when pretending to date, probably those.
Luo Zhou, who had been in low spirits, suddenly froze, thinking of something, and his expression became uneasy.
He had once asked Cen Ting to make a necklace for Xuan Yi, planning to give it to her so that their secret relationship would be revealed among their friends once she wore it.
But the necklace hadn't arrived when she became his sister-in-law.
When the necklace finally arrived, he was naturally furious and wanted to destroy it. However, it happened to be Xuan Yi's birthday, and he didn't prepare a gift for her, not wanting to see her at all.
Unable to ignore his family's dissatisfaction with his neglect of his sister-in-law, he decided to give the necklace as a birthday gift to Xuan Yi, partly out of spite, wanting her to see what she had missed out on in terms of sincerity. He wanted to mock her and make her suffer, which would make him feel better.
But that day, he was so affected by the situation that he overlooked something...
【What a jerk, a big jerk, he doesn't even deserve to say he likes Tang. If he really liked her, could he treat her like this?】
Upstairs, Ji Fei, who was secretly watching, was furious and spewing curses in her heart.
The Qin family downstairs, hearing Ji Fei so agitated, were a bit surprised. Didn't they already know he was pretending to be poor and letting his girlfriend support him? Was there something even worse?
【Tang cherished that bracelet so much, but it was made from the leftover materials of a gift for Xuan Yi, worth less than one percent of the original necklace. They were dating at the time! Even if it was just beginning, dating means having feelings, right? You doing some tests is just you being sick in the head, but what's the point of giving that bracelet?】
Qin Xian was a bit guilty. When he first saw the bracelet, he wondered why a bracelet of the same material was in the hands of a makeup artist, even though it was a gift, it should have been a private order.
It turned out that when he heard Tang was Luo Zhou's girlfriend, he should have connected the dots, but there were too many things going on at the time, so even he overlooked it.
It was only now that he remembered.
【Just because you were in a bad mood that day, you forgot your girlfriend's birthday the next day? And because you didn't prepare any gift, you remembered there was a small bracelet in the necklace box that you had left in the car, so you took it out as a birthday gift for Tang. Seriously, your conscience doesn't hurt?】
Qin Xian was also speechless, feeling that the gift would have been better off not given.
He couldn't understand Luo Zhou's thought process, didn't he feel he was belittling and insulting his girlfriend?
【No, I was wrong, how could you have a conscience? After giving the gift, you weren't guilty, instead, you thought that with the value of this gift, Tang was lucky to get it. You were afraid she would be suspicious of your identity if she was materialistic, so you lied and told her it was only a thousand yuan. So in your eyes, Tang only deserves a thousand-yuan piece of jewelry, you probably didn't know that without supporting you, she could buy many thousand-yuan pieces of jewelry to please herself!】
Qin Xian sighed silently, also doubting Luo Zhou's so-called love.
【What's even more hateful is that Tang, this silly girl, felt sorry for you, thinking you had no money and squeezed out a thousand yuan to buy her the bracelet. She thought you secretly worked part-time to save up for it, making her even better to you and treasuring the bracelet like a treasure. You're really a beast! Why didn't the lightning strike you? How did you deserve such a girlfriend? Did Tang really kill and burn in her past life?】
Ji Fei was so angry every time she thought of Tang cherishing that bracelet that her head buzzed.
【Alright, when you were dating Xuan Yi, you were very generous, but when you were dating Tang, you were stingy, just thinking Tang wasn't worthy, right? Then go and snatch your sister-in-law, she's hinting so hard at Tang about her identity, so restless wanting to show off your love, you two are perfect for each other, scumbags and bitches!】
Qin Xian was really afraid his wife would get too angry, so he couldn't help but pat her head to calm her down, blaming Luo Zhou and Xuan Yi for their immoral actions.
Ji Fei took a while to calm down before looking at the screen. She felt reluctant, as Tang was not only hit by the bracelet but also the truth about her relationship with Luo Zhou and Xuan Yi.
Tang almost couldn't stand, staggering back in shock, staring at Xuan Yi.
"You... you are..."
