Chapter 208: Envy, jealousy, and hatred

The lights inside the store were bright, shining on Shangguan Mingyue’s cheeks, giving them a luminous sheen, as if they were crafted from fine jade.

Shangguan Mingyue’s beauty, even a woman couldn’t help but be moved by it; her luminous white forehead, delicate hair, matched with a brown coat and a light blue dress, exuded a beauty that was more dazzling than the diamonds in the store.

The female clerk’s gaze lingered on Shangguan Mingyue, thinking to herself that the man who could marry such a woman must be exceptional.

Perhaps he was a banking executive, or a real estate tycoon, or the head of a conglomerate, only those powerful and influential men could handle such a woman.

The female clerk felt a tinge of inferiority facing Shangguan Mingyue, even with her carefully applied makeup; she still faded in comparison to Shangguan Mingyue’s naturally unadorned beauty, like the vast difference between fireflies and the bright moon.

Shangguan Mingyue returned the diamond ring the clerk had shown her, continued to look at a few other styles, and eventually her gaze settled on the most conspicuous position.

"Hello, this ring is the most expensive one in our store. It was designed by a female designer known as ’Star of the Bright Moon.’ It’s the only piece in our store. If you want it, you’ll need to leave your contact information, and we’ll arrange for you, notifying you once the ring is available," the female clerk explained fluently, introducing the treasure of the store.

"Star of the Bright Moon, heh, do you know the name of this female designer?" Shangguan Mingyue asked without turning around, her tone mild.

"This designer is one of the most famous in Paris, but she isn’t a foreigner—she’s Chinese, the pride of our nation. Her name is very charming, it’s Mingyue, which is also the name given to this ring," the clerk explained knowledgeably.

"Mingyue... Is this ring popular in your store?" Shangguan Mingyue’s face carried a subtle smile.

"Of course, it’s the pride of our store now. Only those with status can afford it. Ever since this ring was released, it’s been a craze for a while, but unfortunately, Master Mingyue hasn’t released a new design for two years," the clerk sighed.

While the female clerk spoke with Shangguan Mingyue, Wang Zifeng and Chu Yao entered the store.

After mocking Ye Qiu, Wang Zifeng felt incredibly uplifted, his mood lightened, and he stepped into the store, planning to browse casually, but unexpectedly, his gaze was captured by an unequaled beauty.

From the moment Wang Zifeng’s eyes landed on her, he couldn’t look away; even by his critical standards from his numerous encounters, this woman’s beauty was exceptionally rare, as if a celestial being had descended to the mortal world.

Chu Yao also noticed Wang Zifeng’s distraction, and said, "Aren’t you saying you wanted to buy a diamond ring?"

"Uh, yes, sure," Wang Zifeng replied distractedly, his focus not on Chu Yao.

Fortunately, Chu Yao’s remark snapped Wang Zifeng out of his daze, and he deliberately adopted a serious demeanor, saying to Chu Yao, "Let’s take a look at this ring."

Wang Zifeng, with Chu Yao in tow, approached Shangguan Mingyue to look at the ’Star of the Bright Moon’ diamond ring.

"Sir, miss, are both of you interested in this ring too?" Another saleswoman approached.

"If this beautiful lady hasn’t bought it yet, I’ll purchase it," Wang Zifeng said, his perspective closely examining Shangguan Mingyue’s beauty as he spoke.

"Sir, the ’Star of the Bright Moon’ is priced at 880,000. If you really want it, it requires a custom order; this particular ring is not for sale," the clerk explained.

"Oh, that’s quite pricey," Wang Zifeng exclaimed, startled by the price; although affluent, spending several hundred thousand on a ring still pained him. However, Wang Zifeng masked his reaction well, at least maintaining composure on the surface, as he clicked his tongue.

"Did this lady buy it as well?" Wang Zifeng continued, purposely steering the conversation toward Shangguan Mingyue, as he wanted an introduction. If he didn’t seize the moment before she left the diamond store, he’d lose the opportunity to meet someone celestial, harboring a relentless desire to have Shangguan Mingyue for himself.

"This lady just looked and didn’t say if she would buy. Would you like to place an order now?" The clerk followed up, eager to earn a substantial commission from selling one ’Heart of Mingyue.’

"Miss, if you are having financial difficulties, don’t hesitate to speak to me. I, Wang Zifeng, enjoy making friends, and I’d be happy to buy you a diamond ring if you just ask." Wang Zifeng’s words had an unmistakable hint of flirtation. Chu Yao, standing beside him, furrowed her brows, seemingly deep in thought.

Shangguan Mingyue watched as this young man, Wang Zifeng, tried to hit on her in such a manner. Did he really think she couldn’t afford the diamond ring?

If Wang Zifeng and the few female shop assistants knew that she was the designer of the "Star of Mingyue," their jaws would probably drop.

"Ah, don’t get me wrong, I have a girlfriend. This is my girlfriend, Chu Yao. If you don’t mind, we could all be friends," Wang Zifeng quickly explained as he pulled Chu Yao to his side.

"Thank you, but no," Shangguan Mingyue responded indifferently. A young guy, trying to pick her up? Shangguan Mingyue, a well-traveled independent woman, had seen all sorts. Wang Zifeng’s playboy antics, transparent after just a few words, were no mystery to her.

Chu Yao didn’t give Wang Zifeng any face, and retorted, "I haven’t agreed to be your girlfriend yet; we’re just getting to know each other."

Wang Zifeng forced a smile, taken aback by Chu Yao’s remark. Annoyed, yet unable to show it in front of a beautiful woman, he maintained a gentlemanly facade and said, "Don’t mind me getting angry. My name is Wang Zifeng, let’s be friends."

Wang Zifeng extended his hand, waiting for Shangguan Mingyue to shake it.

Unfortunately, he waited in vain, as Shangguan Mingyue showed no intention of extending her hand.

"Ye Qiu." Just as Wang Zifeng looked at Shangguan Mingyue, wondering why she hadn’t extended her hand, he heard her call out a name.

"Why did you just get here?" Shangguan Mingyue ignored Wang Zifeng’s hand and walked straight towards Ye Qiu, who was slowly entering.

"How do they know each other?" Wang Zifeng showed a look of shock. In his mind, a stunning beauty like Shangguan Mingyue couldn’t possibly have anything to do with someone like Ye Qiu, who couldn’t even afford a diamond ring. Yet their relationship seemed quite good.

Wang Zifeng was stunned, and so were the female shop assistants. The sight of Ye Qiu, dressed in simple street vendor clothes, knowing someone like the celestial Shangguan Mingyue, was eye-opening. To these assistants accustomed to wealthy clients, only a highly exceptional man could stand beside Shangguan Mingyue; anyone else was seen as sacrilegious.

"Looks like you haven’t come out yet. What, are you buying a diamond ring?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Just looking," Shangguan Mingyue said.

"Oh," Ye Qiu glanced at Wang Zifeng and Chu Yao nearby, and suggested with a smile, "Maybe we should go somewhere else then."

"Let’s go," Shangguan Mingyue said, linking her arm through Ye Qiu’s, and they left the jewelry store.

They left several dazed people behind.

Wang Zifeng gritted his teeth, taken aback that the man he looked down upon was not only related to Chu Yao but also had a connection with a goddess-like woman.

Damn it!

What right did he have!

A furious envy erupted within Wang Zifeng.

Meanwhile, Chu Yao watched as Ye Qiu and Shangguan Mingyue disappeared into the distance, biting her lip.

Why are there always so many women around him!
