Shocking! A three-year-old brings his aloof mother to their door.

Mo Ye turned around, gave her a slightly ingratiating yet mysterious chuckle, and without explaining further, simply tightened his grip on her hand.

The three of them entered the store.

The environment is tranquil and luxurious. The dark velvet carpet absorbs most of the footsteps, and the soft spotlights shine precisely on each piece of jewelry on display, reflecting a dazzling yet not glaring light.

The air was filled with a subtle, sophisticated fragrance.

As soon as Tongtong came in, she was attracted by the shiny and sparkly things. She immediately broke free from her father's hand and ran to the nearest glass counter with her short legs.

Two chubby little hands gripped the edge of the counter, and she stood on tiptoe, her big eyes fixed on the diamond brooches and gemstone rings displayed inside, her little face filled with pure affection.

Mo Ye's gaze swept quickly over the displayed jewelry. He looked at it intently, but his brows furrowed slightly, as if something was missing.

The diamond necklaces, jade pendants, and ruby ​​rings in the display case, each priced at hundreds of thousands or millions, were beautiful, but none of them seemed to match the figure in his heart.

At this moment, a sales clerk dressed in a well-fitting suit and with exquisite makeup greeted us with a smile:

"Good afternoon, sir/madam. How can I help you? Are you looking to choose some jewelry?"

Mo Ye nodded and said directly:

"Hmm, I'd like to pick out a gift for my wife. Which one here is...the best, the most unique?"

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant's smile became even more genuine, and her gaze quickly and politely swept over He Wanqing.

Upon seeing this, she couldn't help but secretly admire him: the gentleman asked directly, but the lady's appearance and demeanor truly deserved to be called "the best."

She smiled sincerely:

"Sir, you have excellent taste. Your wife is so beautiful that she will look radiant no matter what she wears."

Please follow me. Here are some pieces from our designer collection; both the design and the materials are top-notch.

She led Mo Ye and He Wanqing to a more private VIP area on one side of the store.

There are significantly fewer items on display here, but each piece is placed on a separate velvet stand, next to a small spotlight and an explanatory card.

The shop assistant put on white gloves and carefully took out several pieces of jewelry—a necklace set with rare Paraiba tourmalines, as blue as the deep sea, surrounded by tiny diamonds, gorgeous and dazzling;

A set of full-green, glass-type jadeite cabochon necklace and earrings, the green color is vibrant and flawless;

There's also a necklace with an antique rose-cut diamond as the main stone, featuring an extremely retro and luxurious design...

Each item costs several million or even close to ten million.

Mo Ye looked at them carefully, but still gently shook his head. It wasn't that they were bad, it's just... something felt off.

He Wanqing's beauty is cool and sharp, yet she possesses an inner gentleness. She needs a gift that can both suppress her aura and avoid being gaudy, while also subtly revealing her unique charm.

He Wanqing watched quietly from the side, but was slightly surprised.

She hadn't expected Mo Ye to have such high standards. Even though she found these jewels to be stunning, he wasn't satisfied with them.

However, looking at Mo Ye's carefully chosen profile, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

Whether he can find one or not, the sentiment is enough.

She quietly pulled a black bank card from her handbag and, while the shop assistant turned to introduce another piece of jewelry, quickly and naturally slipped it into Mo Ye's hand, which was hanging by his side.

Mo Ye felt a chill in his palm. Looking down, he saw a top-tier black card with no spending limit.

He instantly understood He Wanqing's intention—she was afraid that he didn't have enough money and would feel embarrassed in front of so many people.

A sudden warmth filled his heart, as if enveloped by a warm spring. He turned his head and met He Wanqing's slightly sly look that said, "Don't worry, I've got you covered."

Mo Ye smiled gently, gently but firmly pushing the card back into her hand, shaking his head, and mouthing silently, "No need, I have one."

He Wanqing was stunned, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She could roughly guess that Mo Ye was quite capable, but casually taking out millions to buy jewelry...

"o_O???"

This is not something that ordinary college students or even young people who have just started their own businesses can easily do.

That Paraiba tourmaline necklace is priced at 8.88 million.

Mo Ye didn't explain further, but turned to the shop assistant whose smile was somewhat forced, yet whose professionalism still kept her polite, and spoke again, her tone calm:

"Is there anything better? Or something more special?"

The shop assistant was already feeling a little uneasy.

These are already some of the store's best-selling items in stock, and this gentleman is still not satisfied?

If it weren't for the fact that the lady beside him had an exceptional air about her and that her seemingly simple yet expensive clothes were actually quite elegant, she would have seriously suspected that someone was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

She took a deep breath, maintaining her perfect smile:

"Sir, even better... We do indeed have one more in our shop, a true 'treasure of the store.' However..."

She paused, a hint of apology in her eyes, "That's not for sale, it's only for display. It's the private collection of President Shangguan of Qinqing Group."

Mo Ye's eyes lit up.

Not for sale?

He might let it go elsewhere, but this is Qin Qing Group's territory...

"Take me to see it." Mo Ye's tone held an undeniable expectation.

Seeing his persistence and his distinguished demeanor, the shop assistant nodded and said, "Please come with me."

She led the three of them to the deepest part of the shop, to a standalone panoramic glass bulletproof display case.

Inside the booth, there was nothing else but a necklace.

The necklace's chain appears to be interwoven with extremely fine platinum and some rare silvery-white metal, gleaming with a moonlit glow.

The pendant is a sapphire as deep as the ocean yet as clear as a clear sky, surrounded by countless tiny white diamonds like stars around the moon.

The interplay of light and shadow within the gemstone seems to encapsulate a condensed starry sky and ocean, serene, mysterious, and brimming with boundless vitality.

Next to it stood an exquisite plaque with the price listed and a line of handwritten information:

Heart of the Ocean

Not for sale

Meaning: I love you for all eternity (￥13,145,200)

One million one hundred and forty-five thousand two hundred yuan, the number sounds like "I love you for a lifetime" in Chinese.

But this price tag is more like a romantic footnote than a true selling price.

He Wanqing knew that a gemstone of this caliber, which was a prized possession of the store and not for sale, had a value and symbolic significance far beyond what ten million could measure.

The Qinqing Group is not short of money at all. It is displayed here as a symbol of status, a symbol of taste, and a dream that is desirable but unattainable.

Mo Ye doesn't understand jewelry, but he understands beauty.

At first glance, I felt that this necklace belonged to He Wanqing.

That brilliance within her cool elegance, that serene beauty beneath her tranquility, perfectly complemented her overall aura...
