Chapter 212 Half a villa hanging around the neck

Shi Shi was completely unaware of Fu Zhixu's arrival. The next day, she left the film crew like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, simply packing a backpack.

As soon as Shishi got home, she was shocked by what she saw. Had Fu Yingzhou brought the whole shopping mall back with him?

The living room was filled with all kinds of luxury clothes and jewelry, from designer bags to limited edition jewelry, from high-end cosmetics to exquisite dresses, so much so that there was almost no room to step.

Shi Shi's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, and it took her a long time to react. Just then, Fu Yingzhou came downstairs, carrying a delicate little box. Seeing Shi Shi, he smiled broadly, "Shi Shi, welcome home. These are gifts for you. Open them and see if you like them?"

Shi Shi snapped out of her daze, walked up to Fu Yingzhou, and looked him up and down: "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly buy so much stuff?"

Fu Yingzhou took Shi Shi's hand and led her to sit down on the sofa. Then he opened the small box in his hand, inside which was a dazzling pink diamond necklace.

"Shishi, I know you've been working very hard on set lately, but an engagement is a big deal and you don't have time. That doesn't mean I want to just go through the motions. This necklace was custom-made for me, and I hope you'll like it."

Shi Shi looked at the huge pink diamond in the center of the necklace and felt a little touched, but she still stubbornly said, "It's kind of you to do this, but don't do it again. You can't waste money like this."

Fu Yingzhou smiled and nodded: "Okay, whatever you say. You little busybody!"

"Put it on for me quickly."

Fu Yingzhou picked up the necklace, carefully looped it around Shi Shi's neck, and gently fastened it. The necklace rested against her fair skin, the pink diamonds emitting a soft light, making her even more radiant and beautiful. Shi Shi got up and walked to the mirror, looking at herself wearing the necklace, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Is it pretty?" Shi Shi turned to Fu Yingzhou and asked.

"Great! It was worth snatching him from Liu Xinlang!"

"Robbery? What's going on?"

“A couple of days ago, an auction house auctioned this pink diamond. It’s called ‘Lulu Rose,’ and the rough stone weighed 170 carats. Liu Xinlang also wanted to bid for it as a wedding gift for Ms. Hu. How could I let him snatch it away? This necklace was designed a long time ago, but we just didn’t have a suitable one for the center stone. After I had someone bid for it, I showed it to the designer. He also said that it would be perfect to set it here.”

Shi Shi looked at the necklace around her neck: "Is this 170 carats?"

Fu Yingzhou nodded.

Shi Shi: ...

"I'm so ignorant! I have no idea how big 170 carats is! It's not that big at all!"

Shi Shi's thoughts drifted back to before she traveled through time. Back then, she had just bought a house and, to celebrate finally having her own little haven, she went to a jewelry store and bought a 30-point diamond ring.

It wasn't even a carat, and she bought it despite gritting her teeth. What could she do? She'd bought the house, but now she was a mortgage slave. Thinking about the monthly loan payments, she figured she could treat herself to something nice, but she wasn't going to be extravagant!

Looking at the pink diamond around her neck in the mirror, Shi Shi touched it lovingly again and again.

"Brother Niu, please indulge this country bumpkin! Tell me quickly, how much did you pay for this pink diamond?"

1.5 billion

!!

"My villa is only worth 2.6 billion! Am I wearing most of it around my neck?!"

Suddenly I felt a heaviness in my neck.

Fu Yingzhou was amused by her: "This necklace is too impractical for everyday wear, and I doubt you'll ever have a chance to wear it. Let's use this one on our engagement day. I'm a public servant, so you'll have to make do with it normally and keep a low profile."

"Is it really a good idea for us to make such a high-profile engagement?"

Shi Shi was worried that Fu Yingzhou might be summoned for questioning because of his engagement!

"Don't worry, taking photos is strictly prohibited throughout the engagement. Media exposure is not allowed, and all guests will use invitations with their real names."

When will both sets of parents meet?

"Tomorrow is fine. My parents are available anytime. It all depends on my uncle and aunt."

"Then I'll call my mom."

Fu Yingzhou nodded and released Shi Shi's hand. Before letting go, he touched it one last time.

Shi Shi had long discovered Fu Yingzhou's peculiar habit. He had a hand fetish and was always fond of touching her hands.

Shi Shi called her mother and told her about the engagement and the meeting between their parents. Kong Pan, who was on the other end of the line, knew this day would come and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Fu Yingzhou with a smile, "My parents are fine tomorrow, so let's finalize it now."

Fu Yingzhou took her hand and said gently, "That's great, I'll make arrangements for tomorrow."

Shi Shi looked at the clothes in the living room and immediately felt a bit overwhelmed.

"There are too many of these, it's tiring to try them all out."

Shishi wasn't being pretentious; it's just that most of these clothes were formal wear for her engagement party. Aside from some simple and elegant styles, the more glamorous ones generally weighed over ten kilograms.

Fu Yingzhou pondered for a moment and then offered a suggestion: "How about this, I'll have someone find you a fitting model, someone similar in height and build to you, and he can try it on for you. You can watch and see."

Shi Shi quickly waved her hand: "No way! These are all the clothes I'll wear for my engagement. It feels a little strange to let someone else try them on first. I'll bear this sweet pain myself!"

After saying that, she walked towards a red dress in the middle of the clothes rack in the living room. As soon as she entered the room, she was blinded by the striking red of the dress.

You have to try this first!

Shi Shi gently picked up the red dress and examined it closely. The dress had a vintage, courtly style, and its fitted design perfectly accentuated her figure. The skirt flared out in large waves, the layers of red satin shimmering like burning flames under the light. The neckline was trimmed with delicate lace, exuding an elegant sexiness. This was the front! She turned the dress over, revealing a large, open back! A dress that combined sexiness and elegance in one piece. So alluring!

Shi Shi couldn't wait to change into it.

The moment she stepped out in that red dress, she seemed to instantly transform into a noble princess.

When Fu Yingzhou saw Shi Shi, his eyes widened. He walked up to her, took her hand, twirled her around, and exclaimed, "Shi Shi, you look absolutely stunning in this dress, like you stepped right out of a painting."

Shi Shi's cheeks flushed slightly as she smiled and said, "Really? I also feel that this dress suits me very well."

In my opinion, this isn't an exaggeration. Shishi's height and figure are top-notch, with a perfect hourglass shape. Even the shoulder blades on her back are subtly visible, possessing a fatal attraction. Large expanses of fair skin are wrapped in that fiery red fabric, like a red plum blossom in the snow, both alluring and sacred.

Fu Yingzhou nodded and said seriously, "If you wear this red dress to the engagement party, you will definitely amaze everyone."

Shi Shi looked at herself in the mirror again, her heart filled with joy. However, with a living room full of clothes, how could she possibly decide on just one item after trying it on?
