From this, it could be seen that the necklace was absolutely valuable, and it would be impossible to create it without tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, in funds.
Yin Xi covered her mouth in shock, momentarily speechless.
"Do you like it?" The man lowered his head and whispered into her ear, "Do you like it?"
"Mm. I like it." Yin Xi's voice trembled slightly.
Could this be the surprise he had mentioned a few days ago?
A faint smile played on the man's lips. He walked to her, gently pulled her up, and looked her in the eye. "As long as you like it.
Xi Xi, from today onwards, we are officially in love."
In love? A necklace? So he also knew the meaning behind it.
Before, she had thought he didn't understand.
At this moment, Yin Xi had a sudden realization. As the CEO of a multinational corporation that dealt in jewelry, how could he not know the symbolism of a necklace?
Yin Xi raised her hand to touch the pendant and asked in a low voice, "Is this also a Zhuo Sheng product?"
"Yes. But it's one of a kind in the entire world," the man said, looking at her with deep affection.
One of a kind? This necklace was custom-made for her.
"This is too extravagant. You really don't need to spend so much on things like this.
You should know that what I value isn't this." Yin Xi replied earnestly.
"I know that, of course," Qin Si Ye said, tightening his grip on her hands. "You value me, the person. It's just that I happen to be in this line of business.
And I want to give you the best things. In my eyes, only you are worthy of possessing it."
Tears welled up in Yin Xi's eyes, touched by his words. After a pause, she asked curiously, "When did you start having it made?"
"The day you shot the advertisement for Zhuo Sheng," the man continued seriously. "I was truly amazed when I saw you wearing the necklace at the shooting location.
As soon as I returned to the office, I called the designer, discussed the design, and commissioned this necklace.
We rushed it, and it was completed within two weeks."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi recalled Meng Qi's mocking words that day in the mall, and the slight bitterness she had felt then. The contrast with her current situation was stark.
Her eyes filled with tears, and she said solemnly, "Si Ye, I like you. From today onwards, we are officially dating."
The man's lips curved into a smile. He naturally placed his hand around her waist and pulled her closer. "Xi Xi, I want you to call me Ye Ge."
Yin Xi gazed affectionately at the handsome and charming man before her, and softly called out, "Ye Ge."
The next moment, the man held her tightly in his embrace and whispered his confession in her ear.
"Xi Xi, I love you. I want to be with you forever, loving and cherishing each other our entire lives."
Yin Xi's body trembled slightly. She closed her eyes, and tears instantly streamed down her cheeks.
The man released her, lifted her chin, and kissed away the tear stains on her face, moving downwards to her rosy, alluring lips.
He kissed her as if she were a precious treasure, carefully, lingering and entwining.
This gentle, soft feeling was vastly different from his previous assertiveness, causing Yin Xi's body and soul to tremble.
She soon surrendered to his tender embrace and actively responded.
Everything around them seemed to freeze. In heaven and earth, only the two of them existed.
Their hearts connected, achieving an unprecedented fusion.
It turned out that mutual affection, a kiss from the heart, and a natural one was such a beautiful thing.
It wasn't until the waiter came to serve the dishes that the two reluctantly parted.
Yin Xi's face was as delicate as a peach blossom, and she was too shy to meet his gaze.
Qin Si Ye, however, wore a happy smile, his hand still resting on her soft waist.
"Are you hungry?"
"A little," Yin Xi said, looking up at him.
Qin Si Ye took her hand and led her to her seat. "Let's eat first."
Afterward, he returned to his own seat.
The two exchanged smiles, raised their glasses of red wine, and began their first date dinner.
As they ate and chatted, the atmosphere was warm and sweet.
They first talked about the reactions of their three children when they went out, and then discussed their personalities.
"Xi Xi, have you noticed that Chen Chen is very much like me in some ways? Especially his eyes when he's angry."
Qin Si Ye chuckled as he recalled the confrontation between father and son when he brought the three children to Xing Lan Bay.
