Chapter 64: Now is Now
"That's right...... You can't take the ring off, so the easiest and quickest way is to throw it into the sea with you!" I nodded in agreement.
"Poof...... Jin Junchi was amused by me, "There is no other growth, but the courage is getting fatter and fatter." ”
"It's strange to you, it's either intimidation or threat. "I rolled my eyes, fortunately the stupid baby is bold, otherwise how would I live this day?
"I didn't see you being so obedient. Jin Junchi snorted.
"My father taught me from a young age that I can't be mighty!"
"Dad didn't teach you to be an obedient baby?" Jin Junchi's tone obviously said-I don't believe it at all.
"I didn't ...... Dad used to say to me...... You can do whatever you want...... "I'm not lying, that's what my dad said.
The town's trails are lined with lush plum trees, and the setting sun casts a golden glow on the bluestone path. I lay on Jin Junchi's shoulder, and suddenly thought of a very hypocritical word - the years are quiet. If you can keep walking like this, it seems that you can get old in the wilderness.
When we returned to our villa in the suburbs, it was already twilight. The windows of the villa glow warmly, like a lighthouse. Jin Junchi took my hand and walked into the main house, stared at the tattoo on my finger for a while by the light in the foyer, and then kissed it gently. His lips only touched lightly, but his eyes were so solemn that I couldn't help but shudder.
As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Jin Junchi's mother painting by the window, and his father was still sitting straight on the chair as he was yesterday, looking at his wife with a silent face but a melted gaze, with a focused gaze, as if there was only one her in the world.
"Are you back, how are you playing?" Jin Junchi's mother saw us coming back and put down the paintbrush in her hand.
"Hmm. Jin Junchi nodded, "We plan to go to Paris tomorrow." ”
"Okay, by the way, let's choose a wedding dress and jewelry. Jin Junchi's mother continued, "I told your father at noon that the wedding will be arranged at the end of the year or next spring, and if you decide, I will find the master to choose a date." Depending on the season, you also need to choose a good place, so settle down early to make preparations. Or can we discuss it with our in-laws?"
"We've already said whether it......'s okay or not" The words 'wedding' were still stuck in my throat and didn't say anything, Jin Junchi pressed me on the chair, poured a cup of milk tea and stuffed it into my hand, "When you go back to Jincheng during the Chinese New Year, I will arrange for you to have a meal with Sangsang's grandfather and father, and then you can discuss it carefully." ”
"Yes, after meeting the in-laws, we will discuss it, and the number of etiquette cannot be messed up. Jin Junchi's father said, "As for the wedding dress or something, I don't delay it." ”
I pinched Jin Junchi's side under the table and motioned for him to refuse quickly. Jin Junchi was fine, holding my hand and kneading it gently: "When will we start eating, we haven't eaten lunch yet." ”
"Why don't you eat lunch......" Jin Junchi's mother said while instructing the housekeeper to open the meal, "I didn't pay attention to my body when I was young, and it was a matter of getting old when my body was damaged...... "Jin Junchi's mother put the soup in front of us, "Drink some soup to nourish your stomach, and you will have to eat on time in the future, do you hear?"
"Hmm. "Jin Junchi is a good baby in front of his mother.
After dinner, I went back to my room to take a shower, and when Jin Junchi saw me coming out of the bathroom, he immediately asked, "Didn't your fingers get wet?"
"I've got a couple of disposable kitchen gloves, and you'll wear one when you're in the shower. I gestured to the gloves that were on the coffee table.
"Hmm. Jin Junchi took the towel and helped me wipe my hair, "Why is my wife so smart, huh?"
"By the way, why didn't you make it clear when your mother said about the wedding just now?"
"It's not like that, let them talk. Jin Junchi put a towel on my head and rubbed it gently.
"You're too optimistic, they're definitely going to be able to negotiate an outcome you don't want...... "I'm not sure about the others, but Dad can definitely make a 'wedding of the century'."
"What is that?" Jin Junchi picked my chin with his fingers.
"Don't you see? They're going to do a lot of business. I slapped Jin Junchi's hand away.
"So what?"
"Don't you want to have a wedding?" I was simply defeated by Jin Junchi.
"I didn't think so. Jin Junchi poked my forehead, "If you don't have a grand wedding, can Dad marry you to me?"
"The truth is...... I'm already married to you......" I shrugged, "Didn't you say you wouldn't have a wedding before?"
"It was before, and now it is now. Jin Jun was stunned for a moment, and touched my cheek with his fingers, "Sangsang, I will make you the most beautiful bride......"
"Oh. Jin Junchi's tone was very gentle, but I don't know why, I saw some complicated feelings in his eyes. At this time, I don't know what Jin Junchi was thinking, but I couldn't ignore the pain hidden in his eyes. For a moment, I was tempted to ask what it was that made him feel this way when he talked about weddings. But in the end, I gave up.
Early the next morning, we went to Paris. Like a shopaholic, Jin Junchi plunged headlong into Place Vendôme as soon as he entered the city, where the Ritz, one of the most luxurious hotels in Paris, is located. However, Jin Jun came here belatedly because, since the 18th century, it has been a place of famous jewelers. Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Dior, Boucheron...... These first-line jewelry brands have opened stores here, and this area can be called the distribution center of the world's jewelry. Once here, this information rushed into my brain like a long leg.
The shop here not only sells finished jewelry, but also accepts personalized customization services from VIP customers. The reception room is designed to be comfortable, and if you have made a reservation in advance, you will be decorated in a style that customers like, and drinks, fruits, and snacks will be prepared according to your preferences. The designer will explore the type of jewelry you like in the chat, and if you have any ideas, they can come up with a sketch and ask you if you like it or not. This kind of shopping experience is not bad, but according to Jin Junchi's willingness to empty the store, it is still very scary.
Rather than talking to the designers, I prefer to watch them draw on a drawing board and eat those cute and delicious snacks. Talking to the designer for an hour was definitely my limit, after which I stopped talking and struggled with macarons of all tastes.
"Sangsang, this brooch, do you prefer sapphire or ruby as the center stone of the inlay?" Jin Junchi showed me the sketch drawn by the designer.
It was a calla lily-shaped pin, red or blue? and it wasn't the lead of a time bomb, and if you got it wrong, it would explode: "Whatever." ”
"Then you have to ......," Jin Junchi said calmly.
"Hey...... Wait...... "I'm not the kind of chopper who likes one thing and buys all the colors."
"Don't wait, this set of jewelry also needs you to determine the material. "Seeing that I was too lazy to take care of the designer, Jin Junchi automatically acted as an agent for the translator.
...... "I think if it goes on like this, I'll have to choose a phobia, "Just buy a few pieces, what do you want so much?"
"Aren't you envious of people marrying the 'God of Wealth Grandma', and now you are happy to marry the 'Fortune Boy'?" Jin Jun nodded the tip of my nose late.
"How much money are you going to give, just call me on the bank card...... I don't like tossing myself around a human-shaped display stand. "I'm being honest.
"Okay, I'll check you in later, you can read these first......" Jin Junchi made a bunch of design drawings to show me.
"I've decided to cash out, why do I have to choose?"
"These are all selected by me, and I never do useless work. Jin Junchi shrugged at me.
"I don't want to choose, I have a headache to watch...... "The reason doesn't make sense, I can only play tricks."
"We'll see that another day. Jin Junchi reached out and touched my forehead, "Is it a fever or what?"
"It's okay, just go out and blow the wind. "I suddenly realized that the excuse for headaches is not very useful.
"Hmm. "We went to have lunch first, and then Jin Junchi sent me back to the hotel to rest, Hang Lung has a branch here, and he is going to have a meeting in the afternoon.
I woke up completely rejuvenated, changed into a denim t-shirt and flats, and planned to go out for a walk. When I walked out of the hotel and saw a bus to the 'Pantheon area', I subconsciously got on the bus. The car drove slowly, and when I reached Boulevard Saint-Michel, I got out of the car.
Walking down the wide street, you can see the Cluny Museum at a glance, and as I walked around the museum for half a circle, the inexplicable sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger. As I walked out of the museum, I thought that if I walked another 500 meters or so, there should be a café around the corner, with a tall holly tree and an open-air café with a blue and white striped parasol.
I followed my instincts and subconsciously closed my eyes as I turned the corner. I took a deep breath before slowly opening my eyes – there was indeed a café and an open-air café with a parasol in front of the door, but the parasols weren't blue and white stripes, and there weren't holly trees.
I breathed a sigh of relief, trying to loosen the nerves that had been tense from being too intuitive. I consoled myself that there were plenty of cafes and taverns on this street, and there was nothing surprising that each one had a parasol in front of its door.
Slowly walking under a parasol and sitting down, the waiter immediately came over: "What can I do for you?"
"Please give me a hazelnut latte and a mango mousse. ”
"Okay. The waiter turned and left.
My gaze involuntarily fell on a vacant lot not far away, where the ground was uneven, and there were even traces of dirt turned out, which is rare in the city.
"Miss, your meal is ready. "The waiter put cake and coffee in front of me.
"...... there," I said, gesitating, gesitating, "was there a tree there?"
