Chapter 1276: Chapter 1296

"Sister, this dress is really beautiful. It looks so elegant on you, it’s like it was tailor-made just for you." Mrs. Gu chatted with Mrs. Jiang.

"Oh, not at all, you’re the one with true elegance. You’re the most sophisticated woman I’ve ever met. Even the mayor’s wife in our city doesn’t have your poise." Mrs. Jiang was being honest; she was genuinely impressed by the aura of the Gu Family.

To think she could become in-laws with such a prestigious family was all thanks to her daughter’s fortune.

The elders worried the younger ones would get bored, so they let them go off on their own.

So, the four of them went to another small sitting room.

"Meng Meng, let’s finalize our engagement today." Gu Shilin looked at Jiang Meng and said.

"That’s not sincere at all. Look, see this? The ring Gu Shili proposed to me with?" Qiao Qiqi waved her hand, showcasing a big diamond ring on her fair fingers.

"Just this? Meng Meng, this is for you!"

Gu Shilin immediately pulled out a small box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a diamond three times larger than the one on Qiao Qiqi’s hand—a pigeon egg.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

"What’s up with this?" Jiang Meng felt it was a bit childish, wondering how meeting the parents turned into a proposal.

"This is a real diamond! Shi Li, this is not your brother criticizing you, but you’re too stingy, proposing with such a small diamond. Is it even as big as a rice grain?" Gu Shilin was clearly dissatisfied.

"What do you know? Qiqi’s ring is something she can wear every day. Yours, even if I accept it, can only stay locked in a safe. If I dared to wear it out, I’d probably end up with chopped hands!" Jiang Meng was equally disdainful.

"Haha~" Gu Shili was speechless.

Gu Shilin was also dumbfounded; when he chose it, he just aimed for the biggest! Forgot that it couldn’t be worn daily.

He wanted Meng Meng to wear his engagement ring every day too! That way, nobody would dare to make a move on her.

"I’ll go buy another one right now! For the two of us!" Gu Shilin couldn’t admit defeat.

At worst, he’d give two rings.

"Stop it! I agree to marry you, just put it on me." Jiang Meng didn’t want to waste more time; she wasn’t into flowers and balloons anyway.

Besides, Gu Shilin was so sincere, she couldn’t have been more convinced. She’d decided to spend her life with this man.

"Really?" Gu Shilin looked at her with surprise.

"Really, truly! Hurry up and put it on me!" Jiang Meng urged.

Before, she didn’t really care much for Gu Shilin; even if he’d left, it wouldn’t have mattered. But from today, she decided to have a good relationship with this guy and keep him by her side for life!

"Jiang Meng, it’s not good to rush things." Qiao Qiqi looked at her friend speechlessly.

"Hehe, I want the big diamond ring." Jiang Meng said with a playful smile.

Gu Shilin didn’t dare delay, and immediately slid the diamond ring onto her finger.

But the ring was a little too big for her ring finger and fit just right on her middle finger.

"See, got to get a smaller one too!" Gu Shilin finally found an excuse; he wanted to buy something like the one Qiao Qiqi had for everyday use.

His girlfriend had to wear a ring!

That way, everyone would know she was engaged and off the market.

Otherwise, if some clueless person approached, he’d be left crying with nowhere to go.

Jiang Meng also thought a smaller ring would be nice.

"I want one a little smaller than Qiqi’s, I don’t like ones that are too big."

"Alright, we’ll get whatever you want, we’ll pick it out together later."ℯ
