“Want some?” Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li standing at the entrance of an ice cream shop, eagerly gazing at the delicious ice cream in the display case.

“Mm-hmm.” Jiang Li nodded her little head.

“Wait for me!” Zhou Chao smiled as he ruffled Jiang Li’s hair, then headed towards the shop.

Soon, Zhou Chao returned with two ice creams. “Here you go!”

“Brother Chao, how did you know I like strawberry flavor?” Jiang Li curiously asked, looking at the ice cream in her hand.

Zhou Chao’s lips curled into a mischievous smile as he whispered in Jiang Li’s ear, “It’s a secret!”

“Psh!” Jiang Li felt his breath on her ear, making her feel ticklish.

Sensing Jiang Li’s reaction, Zhou Chao gave her a knowing look.

“Brother Chao, 1 feel like you’ve been acting a bit naughty lately.”

“No, how could that be? I’m a righteous person, how could I possibly be naughty?” Zhou Chao said with a straight face, making Jiang Li burst into laughter.

“Do you want me to put on that Balenciaga outfit tonight and show it to you?” Jiang Li whispered to Zhou Chao, leaning in closer.

“Sure!” Zhou Chao replied without hesitation.

“Hehe, you said you didn’t want it, but your body seems pretty eager!” Jiang Li giggled and took a few steps ahead.

“This little girl knows how to tease me! All Li, wait for me!” Zhou Chao quickened his pace to catch up.

“I understand love as being bound to you for a lifetime!” Zhou Chao and Jiang Li sat on a bench in the mall, and Jiang Li pointed to a nearby billboard as she spoke.

“Hmm? Which billboard?” Zhou Chao finished his last bite of ice cream and then turned to look at Jiang Li, intrigued.

“Look, right across!” Jiang Li gestured with a slight nod of her head, and Zhou Chao followed her gaze.

“DR!?” Zhou Chao looked at the brand name, which wasn’t very familiar to him, and immediately thought of its most iconic slogan.

“A man can only customize one DR for the woman he loves in his lifetime.”

Zhou Chao’s smile widened, and he turned to Jiang Li, who had just finished her ice cream. “I’m taking you somewhere special!”

Zhou Chao stood up from the chair, holding Jiang Li’s hand, and they headed towards the DR store.

“Brother Chao, where are we going?” Jiang Li looked puzzled.

“Taking you to a place!” Soon, they arrived at the DR store, and Jiang Li was pleasantly surprised by what she saw.

“Brother Chao, hehe, are you planning to give me a ring?” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao with hopeful anticipation.

“Let’s go inside and take a look!” Zhou Chao said, leading Jiang Li into the store.

“Welcome! DR Diamond Rings! Please come in!” A saleswoman in an office lady uniform greeted Zhou Chao and Jiang Li, leading them to the counter.

“Hello, welcome to DR Diamond Rings. Are you both here to customize a diamond ring?” The saleswoman looked at Zhou Chao and Jiang Li, probably guessing their purpose was to customize a ring. Seeing that both of them were exceptionally good-looking, she became more enthusiastic in her approach.

“Well, what styles do you have here? Can we take a look?” Zhou Chao glanced at the counter and didn’t find anything particularly appealing, so he asked the saleswoman.

“Of course, sir! These are our specially customized products. You can take a look to see if there’s anything you like.” The saleswoman retrieved a catalog from under the table, opened the first page, and handed it to Zhou Chao.

“Sure!” Zhou Chao took it and began flipping through the catalog with Jiang Li by his side.

“Take a look and see if there’s a style you like!” Jiang Li’s heart was beating faster than usual, but she quickly became captivated by the catalog.

Zhou Chao and Jiang Li slowly studied the catalog, and the saleswoman standing nearby didn’t utter a single complaint. She had noticed Zhou Chao’s expensive wristwatch when it accidentally peeked out from under his thin jacket.

As a saleswoman at the DR Diamond Rings counter, the moment she saw Zhou Chao’s watch, she could tell it was quite valuable. So, she tactfully refrained from interrupting their discussion.

“All Li, how about this one?” Unbeknownst to them, they had already flipped through the entire catalog, and Zhou Chao was referring to the last page featuring a diamond ring.

“LOVE LINE Luxury Proposal Diamond Ring!” When Jiang Li saw the word “proposal”, her eyes lit up with anticipation.

“Most people propose to surprise their partners, and you’re directly taking me to buy a ring!” Jiang Li felt touched in her heart, but she couldn’t help but find Zhou Chao’s approach a bit amusing.

“Well, 1 haven’t really been in a relationship before!” Zhou Chao, realizing that he had only thought about buying a ring for Jiang Li and forgot to give her a surprise, felt a sense of miscalculation deep inside.

“Don’t think too much about it; 1 don’t know you that well yet!” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao, who was clearly feeling frustrated. She naturally held his big hand in hers.

“Hehe!” Zhou Chao was caught in his thoughts for a moment but quickly regained his composure.

“Hello, how long does it take for this particular customization?” Zhou Chao called over the nearby saleswoman to inquire.

“Sir, for this one, it will take at least half a month,” the saleswoman eagerly replied when she saw the diamond ring Zhou Chao was pointing to. After all, if this sale went through, she would earn a substantial commission.

“Okay, let’s go with this one.”

“Sir, do you want to engrave anything on this ring?” The saleswoman reminded Zhou Chao, in case there was any special customization required.

Zhou Chao thought for a moment, supporting his chin with his hand, then looked at Jiang Li and said, “Ah Li, let’s engrave our initials in a heart shape, what do you think?”

“Z&j! With a heart shape in the middle,” All Li happily agreed.

“Yes, you heard it. Let’s go with that,” Zhou Chao said to the saleswoman.

“Alright, sir, please wait a moment.” The saleswoman quickly went inside and returned with a piece of paper and a pen.

“May I see your IDs please?” Zhou Chao and Jiang Li took out their IDs from their bags and handed them to the saleswoman.

The saleswoman took their IDs and swiftly copied the information. In less than five minutes, she had completed the necessary paperwork.

“Alright, Mr. Zhou and Ms. Jiang, your information has been recorded. Here are your IDs; please keep them safe.”

“Okay, how much is this ring in total?” Zhou Chao took back his ID and casually returned Jiang Li’s to her.

“Mr. Zhou, the price for this customized ring is 356,666 yuan.”

“Okay, can I pay by card? No need for deposits or anything, i’ll pay the full amount with my card.” The saleswoman saw Zhou Chao’s black card and eagerly accepted it.

“Of course, Mr. Zhou. Please wait a moment.” The saleswoman hurried to the cash register and returned shortly with a receipt and the credit card.

“Mr. Zhou, here’s your credit card and receipt. We will notify you by phone when the finished product is ready.”

“Alright, 1 understand.” Zhou Chao took the credit card and receipt and then left DR with Jiang Li.

“Do you want to buy a formal suit for tomorrow?” Zhou Chao thought about how Jiang Li didn’t bring many clothes with her when she came to Modu, and for attending Big Bro’s wedding tomorrow, dressing casually wouldn’t be suitable.

“Yes, let’s get one.” Jiang Li understood the situation. Dressing in casual attire for tomorrow’s occasion wouldn’t be appropriate.

They continued shopping for nearly two hours, during which Jiang Li tried on around ten outfits before finally choosing one she liked.

“Phew, we can finally go home!” Zhou Chao sighed in relief. He felt that accompanying a woman shopping was a form of torture.

“Brother Chao, what were you muttering about?” Suddenly, Jiang Li, who was walking ahead, turned around and asked.

“Oh, nothing! 1 was just thinking about what to have for dinner tonight.” Zhou Chao quickly changed the topic to dinner.

“I see, are you tired?” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao with a smile.

“How could 1 be tired? Look at me; I’m strong and fit. This is nothing!” Zhou Chao said, flexing his muscles.

“In that case, let’s keep shopping!” Jiang Li’s lips curled into a devilish smile.

“No!!!!!”
