Hearing what Xiaoxia said, Jiang Cheng's mouth curved slightly upward. He reached out a finger and gently scraped the tip of her cute, petite nose, teasing, "For someone so young, you talk as if you've met many men."
Being teased by Jiang Cheng like this, Xiaoxia instantly panicked. She quickly waved her hands and shook her head, anxiously explaining, "Ah... that's not what I meant."
"Why are you nervous? I was just kidding..."
Originally, Jiang Cheng planned to leave right after breakfast, but his mother's wechat message instantly popped up.
Mom Li Yan: "Your dad and I are going out for a bit."
Jiang Cheng: "What should I eat for lunch then?"
Mom Li Yan: "Handle lunch yourself."
Jiang Cheng: "What about dinner?"
Mom Li Yan: "What dinner????"
Well, this meant he was expected to handle both lunch and dinner himself for the entire day.
Jiang Cheng sighed inwardly.
Parents these days are truly too independent.
They hadn't asked him where he'd been from last night until now... Truly a birth mother!
Seeing that he had been ignored by his own parents, Jiang Cheng took Xiaoxia to a nearby mall for a shopping spree after they finished eating.
Since taking her shopping once in Chengdu previously, Jiang Cheng hadn't had time to bring her out again.
Given Xiaoxia's frugal nature, Jiang Cheng figured she wouldn't proactively go out and spend money.
Seeing that Xiaoxia's neck and wrists were bare, Jiang Cheng led her toward the jewelry section.
Jiang Cheng said as they walked, "You heard the phone call just now—billions in profit. I have money and don't know how to spend it. You understand what I mean, right? If we don't spend a few million today, we aren't going back."
Hearing this, Xiaoxia was surprised, but also felt a slight heartache internally.
Based on her understanding of Jiang Cheng, he would likely follow through on his word.
She replied with a bittersweet smile, "I don't lack anything. I still have a lot of what you bought me last time."
"Whether you have enough or not is not up to you, it's up to me."
After this somewhat crass CEO declaration, Jiang Cheng led Xiaoxia into Cartier.
After browsing for a while, it was evident that Xiaoxia didn't seem to show much affection for the brand's accessories.
Furthermore, the classic Panther series looked incredibly fitting on Zhou Ying, highlighting a unique elegant charm.
However, when the same accessories were worn by Xiaoxia, the level of suitability instantly dropped significantly.
It was as if there was an indescribable barrier between these accessories and Xiaoxia.
As for the famous Love series ring, Jiang Cheng had already bought it and given it to Zhou Ying.
Therefore, there was absolutely no way he would buy the same ring again for Xiaoxia.
After all, he was a good man.
Although he had different women around him, Jiang Cheng still hoped to adhere to some of the principles he had set for himself.
It must be known that the significance contained within a ring is truly extraordinary.
Especially for most women, a ring often carries many emotions and expectations.
He recalled the last time he selected a ring for Yu Xiaoxiao.
When she saw the exquisite ring, she was so excited that her eyes turned red and filled with tears.
Generally speaking, matching earrings or necklaces might not be a big deal.
But if even rings, which symbolize a promise of love, ended up "clashing," that truly wouldn't be good.
After visiting a few more stores, Jiang Cheng finally brought Xiaoxia to Van Cleef & Arpels.
In recent years, Van Cleef & Arpels' Alhambra series has sparked a craze in the fashion world, becoming incredibly popular and highly sought after.
Although the materials don't match its price tag of tens of thousands of yuan.
But due to its fresh design style and high price, it is a must-have series for every 'little fairy' venturing into high luxury goods.
Looking at the red Alhambra bracelet inside the glass display case.
At this moment, Xiaoxia stared intently at the bright red Alhambra bracelet in the glass display case, her face full of disbelief.
She slightly parted her lips and asked in astonishment, "This bracelet costs over thirty thousand?? Is it made of gold?"
Compared to the nervousness she displayed the last time Jiang Cheng took her shopping, Xiaoxia's performance this time showed significant improvement.
At the very least, she no longer appeared as bashful as before, and her eyes held less timidity and fear.
However, her softly spoken words were still overheard by the sales assistant nearby.
The sales assistant at this store did not show any snobbery due to Xiaoxia's comment.
After all, Jiang Cheng's overall attire prevented her from showing any contemptuous glances.
The sales assistant maintained a warm and friendly smile, slightly bowed, and patiently replied.
"Miss Xia, this bracelet isn't made of ordinary gold! It uses precious metal materials like 18K gold and platinum, and it's also set with many rare gemstones! For example, this very popular Alhambra bracelet is inlaid with Carnelian and Mother-of-pearl, and some other styles use precious stones like Tiger's eye and Malachite..."
Although Xiaoxia usually didn't know much about jewelry, she was familiar with Carnelian.
Because when she went to the morning market in her village, there were all kinds of Carnelian decorations on the street stalls.
Of course, the local ethnic minorities also used some Carnelian in their decorations.
So this item could become so expensive when it reached a specialty store.
Although she was surprised internally, Xiaoxia did not voice her complaints.
Because Jiang Cheng had already pointed to several Alhambra series bracelets and rings and had the counter staff take them out.
Xiaoxia silently looked at the price tags.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Does your store set prices based on the number of flowers?"
Hearing this, the staff member immediately replied, "Yes, Miss Xia. For example, the ten-flower Alhambra necklace that Mr. Jiang asked me to retrieve is the most expensive in this series. Its price is 407,000 yuan. Similarly, if you choose the five-flower version, the price is cut in half."
This price made Xiaoxia click her tongue inwardly.
So one flower costs 40,000 yuan??
Receiving the necklace from the staff member, Jiang Cheng personally helped Xiaoxia put on both the bracelet and the necklace.
Although the ten-flower necklace was more expensive, Xiaoxia seemed to find it a bit too flashy.
She ultimately declined it and only chose a single-flower design.
Jiang Cheng did not insist.
After personally placing the other selected bracelets and rings on her hands, he told the counter staff, "Pack up this single-flower necklace in all colors..."
