Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2081

As usual, Ian looked solemn with his cap and mask on.

After they entered the jewelry store, he turned to Cindy and apologized, "I'm only now realizing howcareless I have been about this. We are now married, but I haven't even gotten you a ring yet."

It was then that she realized she had completely forgotten about it as well. "It is not like a ring is anecessity. I don't really mind," she answered him in a hushed voice.

Rings were overrated in Cindy's opinion as they were merely accessories whose only purpose was tobe worn on fingers. Others might find them good to look at, but to her, they only stood in her way.

A ring would hinder her work regardless of it being cooking or washing.

Other than that, it would be a headache if the wearer of an expensive ring were to bump it onto a hardsurface or lose it.

Humans shouldn't be slaves to material; we have to live for ourselves!

It was probably due to her thorough thinking that she never bothered herself with rings.

Ian still brought Cindy to the counter despite her rejection. No matter how open-minded Cindy was, tohim, wedding rings were something that married couples should have as long as they could afford tobuy them.

She knew what he was thinking, and that it would only make things harder for him if she continued to

stop him from buying them rings. After that, they walked to the counter and started looking around. Afew rings with big diamonds were the first ones which caught his eyes, so he had the shop assistanttake a few of them out of the display for Cindy to try on.

Her eyebrows began to furrow together as she looked at the oversized diamonds. They didn't lookpretty at all to her.

The fact that she was a clothing designer could be the reason why she couldn't understand a jewelrydesigner's vision. She felt the ones with comically big diamonds were outdated and horrible to look atwhile resembling something that only a tasteless nouveau riche would wear.

Cindy shook her head and started to browse the store on her own before her gaze eventually landedon a ring. "Show me this one," she said to the shop assistant.

It was a ring that didn't have a big diamond on it. Instead, the middle of the ring was adorned byclatersals that formed a tiny circle.

The attendant immediately took the ring out for Cindy to try on. At the same time, she kept showeringpraises about the ring, one of them being that the ring was a product of good craftsmanship.

Cindy was quite satisfied with the ring that she had picked, after which she proceeded to check themen's rings before selecting one for Ian to try on.

Instead of choosing matching rings, what she did was select rings that she thought looked nice with itsdifferent designs.

Ian knew that she was a frugal person, but seeing that she had picked the ring with the smallerdiamonds, he couldn't help but think that she could have been more generous at choosing her weddingring. He thought that she intentionally went for one that was cheaper in order to help him save hismoney.

However, the duo had a fairly different grasp on what 'cheaper' meant. What was cheap to him wasenough to make Cindy's eyes jump out of their sockets in shock.

With a low voice, she hissed, "My dear, have you gone crazy? What do you mean by this is 'cheaper'?Did you even see the price?!"

The ring's price was of a staggering amount that could easily equate to an average family's expensesfor years. There could even be a leftover sum after that.

"Let's be more practical," Ian replied with a shake of his head. "It is the thought that counts. We havethe money to buy it, anyway."

Cindy soon began to think that she could purchase an entire suite at the place where she now livedwith this amount of money. Not only that, she could probably buy enough furniture and necessities tostore in that suite of hers.

Indeed, people with different income levels would have different ideas on spending habits.

It still seemed unbelievable to her that she was now in a jewelry shop to pick out a big diamond ringwhen she had to make calls to her friends just to borrow a few thousand dollars a few years ago.

Furthermore, the ring that she had selected was not a cheap one. If it was her in the past, she wouldn'teven have dreamt of such a ring.

It was normal for people's mentality to change over time. novelbin

She herself had never thought that she would have such a life one day.

After Ian paid for the rings, they immediately wore it on their respective fingers before leaving the store.

Cindy had a feeling that the shop assistant had already recognized Ian, but she probably didn't mentionanything about it because of how professional the store's management had trained their employees tobe.

The shop assistant probably will not tell anyone in the future since she remained mum earlier, Cindythought.

She could guess that it wasn't the first time the shop had encountered a celebrity at their store. Theremight have even been those more famous than Ian who went to purchase jewelry from the same store.

The couple swung their arms as their hands were intertwined. After a while, she began to peek at thering on her finger. "I might get arthritis from this. This thing is way too expensive. I feel like I need to getmy arm insured because of this ring," she grumbled.
