Chapter 1211 - 1208: Betrothal Gift 3

For such a long time, she had always cherished this ring, until after their reunion, when she firmly decided to break up and return it to him.

He held her hand tightly, sighing deeply, "Xixi, this ring may not be as expensive as this big wedding diamond ring, but it was specially custom-made by me..."

At that time, their love was at its deepest, and he found the world’s top jewelry company to use the finest diamonds to custom-make a wedding ring. That wedding ring had a particularly special design, with a small mechanism that, when triggered, transformed into two tiny figures embracing. When closed, it became a diamond ring — with the initials of their names engraved on top.

Its uniqueness lay not in the value of the diamond itself, but more in the exquisite craftsmanship.

Even more so in the sincerity and dedication of the person who ordered it — he himself designed this sketch — which the designer modified according to his vision.

Vaguely, it was a small Cupid Arrow, linking the two.

Yan Xixi fell in love with the ingenious craftsmanship back then because it was truly a one-of-a-kind ring in the world. No matter how large the diamond or how expensive the jewelry she saw later, it always seemed to pale in comparison to this artistic marvel blessed by nature.

So, even though she wandered to many places alone, even when faced with huge financial difficulties, she never once entertained the thought of selling this ring.

Never.

"Xixi... never take it off again, alright?"

Her eyes were misty with tears.

"Look how beautiful it is?"

She only turned her hand over and squeezed his hand in return. At this moment, a sense of reassurance settled in. So be it, after all, she would marry sooner or later, and eventually start a family, so why waste any more time?

At the very least, you know that on such a morning, every day when you open your eyes, there will always be a little sense of security.

Truly, joy brings a refreshed spirit.

When Liu Daqing saw the ring on Yan Xixi’s hand, his spirit immediately lifted by three points. She beamed with joy, not even bothering to call the longtime old worker by her side, but personally ran over to the dressing table to fetch a large box.

As soon as it was opened, Yan Xixi was dumbfounded.

Inside the large box, there was only one set of jewelry.

It was a large necklace, comprised entirely of 24 sapphires, with a platinum chain surrounding them, and in the center, an enormous flawless ruby.

Was it not more outrageous than a pigeon egg?

The mere fact that each of the 24 sapphires was over two carats was astonishing, not to mention the gigantic ruby... It was simply a rarity in the world.

Moreover, the craftsmanship between the settings was exquisite, and the design splendid.

It took her quite a while to exhale: "Empress Dowager, this piece, only the Empress could wear it out. For ordinary people, it is truly beyond them..."

Liu Daqing laughed heartily, "Isn’t it so? This is my only set of jewelry."

"..."

"In our early days, it was never fashionable to wear jewelry, everything was kept simple, everyone wore plain clothes. I got used to it naturally, and later, didn’t like jewelry either. This set of necklaces, Donglin’s father saw it by chance when he visited India a year before he passed away, belonging to some local king, and thought it was very nice, so he spent a large sum of money to buy it... I was stunned when I first saw it, not to mention ordinary people, I think even at the Oscars ceremony, wearing such large jewelry would feel extravagant..."
