She massaged her ankle, and it felt much better.
Today was Saturday, and she remembered the stranger on Weibo who had asked her to buy a ring.
She took out her phone and found SJC.
Little Orange: Are you there? I’m free today and can help you find a ring.
There was no immediate response from the other side.
After a while, her phone vibrated.
Little Orange: Any specific requirements?
SJC: I trust your aesthetic sense.
Little Orange: Really? Haha, some people say I have terrible taste.
Jasmine Yale was quite happy, finally someone appreciated her aesthetic sensibility.
She thought she had decent taste too.
But, from childhood to adulthood, Sylvan Cheney, that beast, always criticized her aesthetic sense, taste, and level!
Little Orange: Your judgment isn’t bad either, to be able to unearth a talent like me.
Little Orange: I’m in a bad mood today, checking out the rings should help.
Little Orange: Some people are just natural nemeses.
Little Orange: Why do you always send such
SJC: Nothing special.
Jasmine Yale laughed, some people really had peculiar habits.
Little Orange: Is the ring I’m picking out for you meant to surprise your wife?
Little Orange: Why choose me? We’ve never met. You trust me that much?
SJC: First impression.
Little Orange: Men believe in that too?
Jasmine Yale sighed, this man was indeed a man of few words, as though every word was gold.
Would it kill him to type a few more words? Honestly.
Little Orange: I’ll send you a picture when I’ve picked one out.
Little Orange: Actually, it would be more sincere if you picked it out yourself.
SJC: I don’t really understand a girl’s mind.
Little Orange: Okay, got it.
SJC: If you’re free, let me treat you to a meal.
Little Orange: No need for that, Happy to help, the important thing is making your wife happy.
Jasmine wasn’t the type to meddle in others’ business, but she had never bought a ring before and wanted to see if they were as beautiful and varied as people said.
Jasmine stopped replying to him, he really treated his words like gold.
When she checked his Weibo, he had surprisingly posted something this morning.
SJC: “To be this foolish, is a failure of my upbringing.”
Jasmine was confused.
Was he criticizing his wife again? So, his wife was really that foolish? Or was he criticizing his children?
She didn’t want to pry into his personal matters, after all, he was a stranger.
Her ankle feeling better, Jasmine put away her phone and hailed a taxi to the jewelry counter.
If she remembered correctly, the diamond rings here were pricey, and this was the only store in Landon. The prices made one’s tongue wag; this was not a place she could afford.
She stood outside, bending over to peer at the diamond rings in the glass display case.
Various types of diamond rings were displayed on the exquisite satin, petal-shaped ones, drop-shaped ones, geometric ones.
The diamonds on them were exquisitely cut, sparkling and high quality.
They were so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
Jasmine’s hand lay on the cool glass, motionless, as she stared at the rings.
They were truly beautiful, the corners of her lips lifting slightly.
If not for SJC asking for her help to choose a ring, she probably would never have set foot in a place .
Love, to her, was a thing of the past.
Just like a gust of wind, gently passing by, taking away her youth and beauty, yet leaving her nothing in return.
The infatuations of her youth were nothing but a dream.
A dream she had not awakened from back then, but now, she had come to a sudden realization.
The future of love was over, and it was too late.
Jasmine pulled at the corner of her mouth with a bitter smile..
