Chapter 285: Reluctance

Li Ning asked Sophia, "Have you ever been to China?" ”

"No, I've always wanted to go, but I didn't have a chance." Sophia shrugged, a little helpless.

Li Ning was relieved: "There will be a chance, when you want to go to China, remember to find me." When the time comes, I can take you shopping in China. ”

"Really?" As if she didn't believe it, Sophia glanced at Li Ning and asked.

"Of course, it's hard for me to lie to you."

"Aren't you afraid that Shen Muzhi will like me, and then don't want you?" Sophia asked very directly.

Li Ning shrugged like Sophia and said, "If he chooses you, I'm willing to give way." ”

"Why? Are you willing? Sophia asked, puzzled.

"It's not important whether I'm reluctant or not, the important thing is that when a person no longer cares about me, I don't have to continue to waste time and feelings. To put it in a pretentious way, when love is not there, I am willing to let go of myself and him. ”

After Li Ning said this, he touched his arm and laughed at himself: "I have goosebumps myself." ”

Sophia didn't smile, but frowned slightly thoughtfully.

After a while, Sophia said with a serious face, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense. You shouldn't put your heart on people who don't care about you, because it's irresponsible to yourself and a burden to the other party. ”

"Why did you suddenly talk about such a profound topic?" Li Ning looked at Sophia.

"It just occurred to me." Sophia shrugged her shoulders as she spoke, but suddenly changed her tone again: "But don't think that I will give up Shen Muzhi easily, when you are not together, I still have to pursue him." ”

Li Ning smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Listen to it." ”

Laughing along the way, Sophia parked the car in an alley, pointed to a street in front of her and said, "There are some antique shops here that sell some jewelry, you can take a look, if you don't like it, we can go to other designer stores." ”

"Okay." Li Ning bowed his head happily, and the two got out of the car one after another.

This street is not spacious, and the surrounding houses and streets look a little old, and when you get off the bus, you can see a square a little far ahead, and there are many pedestrians, but this street is a little deserted.

"The flower shop has been here for twenty or thirty years, and when my aunt died, she gave it to her daughter. This handmade shop..."

Sophia walked around and introduced Li Ning to some shops she knew.

"You're here a lot?" Li Ning asked.

"When I was a child, I used to come often, but then I was too busy to open a restaurant, so I rarely came, but it hasn't changed at all. Here, time seems to be suspended. Sophia's eyes were full of memories as she looked at the place.

Li Ning suddenly remembered a passage he had heard before, a person is attached to a city, and what he is attached to is not everything in that city, but everything that has happened in that city.

And it was the same for Sophia, who would not have been indistinguishable from the thousands of streets of Paris without the fond memories in her mind.

While the two were talking, Sophia pushed the door open with Li Ning and entered an antique jewelry store.

The store is not very large, but the decoration is very tasteful, like the European Middle Ages, with some small jewelry of crystal stones on the display shelves, and some precious jewelry such as gold and silver displayed on the counter.

Inside the counter, an old man in a sixtieth armor is wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a pair of white gloves, and a white soft cloth is carefully wiping a gold bracelet with a special color.

He heard Li Ning and the others enter, and raised his eyes to look over.

Sophia stepped forward and greeted her in French with a smile, "Uncle Ed, long time no see." ”

"Sophia, it's such a surprise to see you, it's been a long time since you've come to visit me, an old fellow." Ed put the bracelet on the counter and walked out to give Sophia a hug.

"I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately. By the way, let me introduce you, this is my Chinese friend, Li Ning. Sophia introduced with a smile.

"Hello, Sophia's friend." Ed was very warm but gentlemanly and hugged Li Ning.

After greeting each other, Li Ning went to browse the various jewelry on the counter, although a few of them looked good, but they were still slightly insufficient to give Mrs. Lu as a first meeting gift.

"Is there anything more chic? Preferably unique. Li Ning asked Ed.

Ed's English was not very good, and he needed Sophia to help translate, and then nodded, telling Li Ning and the others to wait, and he turned around and went to the back room.

After a while, Ed pulled out a jewelry box and placed it on the counter, then carefully opened it with great care.

Inside is a set of jewelry, a necklace, two earrings and a ring.

The necklace is a very simple chain full of broken diamonds, with an ice blue diamond necklace, earrings and rings are also similar, a circle of diamonds wrapped around a drop-shaped earring, although the diamonds on the ring are not very large, but the color is better than the necklace and ring.

The whole set of jewelry looks simple but not luxurious, although it is not top-notch, but it can be used.

Li Ning did not hesitate, carefully inspected each diamond with a detector, and then put down the jewelry and asked the price.

"It used to be a French royal item," said Ed, "and since you're Sophia's friend, and it seems that you know diamonds too, I'll give you a fair price." ”

Li Ning listened to the price quoted by Ed, and estimated that it was quite reasonable, and it was Shen Muzhi's card, so he didn't hesitate to buy it.

Ed didn't expect that Li Ning would buy such valuable jewelry so happily, and even asked uncertainly: "Don't you think about it anymore?" ”

Li Ning smiled and said: "The jewelry is beautiful, I believe in Sophia, and you are Sophia's friend, so I also believe in you." ”

Sophia also smiled and said, "Uncle Ed, don't hesitate, Mr. Li Ning is a rich man." ”

Ed laughed and joked, "I should have quoted a higher price if I had known this." ”

Because of Sophia's help, Li Ning's gift was bought smoothly, and then the two went to several places to shop and buy, and when the time was almost back, Sophia was still unsatisfied.

"Next time, we're going to take a whole day out and have a great time!" Sophia swore by it.

Li Ning smiled lightly, "Of course it's good." ”

"But how long can you stay in France?" Sophia asked suddenly.

"It depends on Mu Zhi's arrangement, maybe there are still a few days." Li Ning Road.

Sophia sighed, "Time flies. ”
