Chapter 53: Engagement Gift

Zhao Nan looked at no less than 10 necklaces in the shop, but he didn’t make up his mind.

Seeing this, Zhu Ge walked up and asked with raised eyebrows, “Do you need my advice?”

“Who is it for? Let me help you choose!” Zhu Ge asked tentatively.

Zhao Nan said in a low voice, “Fiancée.”

“Oh…” Zhu Ge replied subconsciously, and then he stared at Zhao Nan with his eyes wide open.

“You, what did you say?” Zhu Ge almost bit his tongue. “Fiancée?”

“You’re engaged?” Zhu Ge stared at Zhao Nan in disbelief.

Zhao Nan frowned. Looking at Zhu Ge’s expression, he couldn’t help but mutter, “Making a fuss over nothing.”

He quickly waved his hand. “This isn’t making a fuss over nothing! This is big news!”

Zhao Nan shrugged noncommittally and didn’t say anything.

Zhu Ge quickly came forward and asked, “Who are you engaged to? Why haven’t I heard about it? When did this happen?”

A series of questions made Zhao Nan’s expression stiffen. “When did you become so nosy?”

“Things to do with you can’t be called nosy!” Zhu Ge said unhappily. “I’m just concerned about you!”

“Who’s the other party?” Zhu Ge asked again.

Then, he thought of something. “It can’t be Shen You, right?”

Zhu Ge suddenly remembered that Zhao Nan and Shen You had an engagement to begin with.

If Zhao Nan suddenly got engaged, then the most likely person to be engaged would be Shen You.

When Zhao Nan heard this, he turned to look at Zhu Ge. He didn’t answer directly. Instead, he asked Zhu Ge, “Which one do you think is good-looking?”

Zhu Ge looked at the necklace in the man’s hand, his brows tightly knitted together.

This guy did not give him a direct answer, causing him to be anxious.

Zhu Ge thought for a moment, then said, “I think, if it’s Idol, she would like that necklace.”

As Zhu Ge said this, he pointed at the necklace called ‘Precious’.

Zhao Nan lifted the necklace and looked at it. Then, he said to the shop assistant, “I’ll take this one.”

Under the double shock of the shop assistant and Zhu Ge, Zhao Nan paid the bill and instructed the shop assistant to wrap the necklace up nicely.

Carrying the necklace, Zhao Nan walked out of the mall.

Zhu Ge had been chasing after him the whole time. He was eager to know if the future owner of this necklace was Shen You!

Walking out of the mall, Zhao Nan turned to Zhu Ge and said, “I still have something to do. You can go back first!”

“Eh? That’s it?” Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan in disbelief as he strode away.

Shen You returned to the coffee shop. Xie Xiao had already prepared something to celebrate and was waiting for her.

“How is it? How is it?” Xie Xiao rushed over to greet Shen You who had just entered the door.

Shen You took out the certificate from her bag and handed it to Xie Xiao.

“I’m not just saying it, Shen You, you’re really great!” Xie Xiao could not help but praise.

“When I saw your results previously, and I thought…” Xie Xiao said and smiled awkwardly.

Shen You waved her hand and said, “I was young and ignorant in the past.”

Shen You took a deep breath and said, “I also learned from my mistakes painfully and improve myself painfully!”

Hearing Shen You’s words, Xie Xiao could not help but laugh out loud. “How much pain were you in?”

Shen You smiled bitterly. Perhaps, only she herself knew that kind of heart-wrenching pain!

Xie Xiao suddenly thought of something. “Oh yes, Huo Xiao has just left!”

Shen You suddenly remembered. “Just now, I was so focused on avenging Lu Chang that I forgot about Huo Xiao!”

Shen You had originally agreed to meet Huo Xiao at the coffee shop after the competition ended.

“Has he left already?” Shen You sighed secretly.

“Yeah! He waited for you for so long and you didn’t come back.” Xie Xiao pulled Shen You into the room.

“Forget it, don’t bother about him. You’ve been tired all day. Rest early.” Xie Xiao said as he pulled Shen You back to the room.

After Xie Xiao left, Shen You lay on the bed alone.

“I was really too stupid in my previous life!” Shen You couldn’t help but sigh.

“What stupid things did I do to get the approval of those people!” Shen You smiled bitterly, full of disdain for her past self.

“It’s good that you know!” The system’s voice sounded.

“But, you’re doing great. You got to know Huo Xiao and the others so quickly! I thought you’d have to work hard for it!” The system praised.

“It’s all for my luck value that I have to work hard!” Shen You clenched her fists and said.

“You’ve also gained something from today’s competition. I believe you’ll be able to collect two pearls very soon!” The system’s voice sounded bewitching.

“With this result, you should be able to escape the fate of your previous life even faster,” the system said sincerely.
