Chapter 213 Buying Gold Jewelry

While Shi An and Su Nian are busy with their careers and dealing with pressure to get married, Shi Ning and Chen Yu's relationship is in full swing.

Jiang Man believed that it was no harm for girls to get married later, so she never pressured Shi Ning, which allowed Shi Ning and Chen Yu to fully enjoy the sweet time of their relationship.

The two often stroll hand in hand through the city's streets and alleys after get off work, exploring the unique little shops hidden in the corners.

Sometimes, they would find a quiet coffee shop, order two lattes, sit facing each other, and share the interesting things that happened during the day.

Chen Yu recounted with great enthusiasm the bizarre things he encountered while dealing with clients, while Shi Ning listened with great interest, occasionally laughing so hard she almost fell over, her laughter echoing throughout the coffee shop.

On weekends, they would go to the countryside together to enjoy the fresh air and appreciate the beauty of nature.

Chen Yu would thoughtfully prepare picnic mats and various delicacies, while Shi Ning, like a cheerful little deer, would hop and skip on the grass, picking wildflowers by the roadside.

When they got tired of playing, the two lay on the picnic mat, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, dreaming about their future life.

However, Qin Yishen was somewhat anxious.

Although he had watched Chen Yu grow up, he couldn't help but feel uneasy when he heard that Chen Yu had started his own business after graduation and had recently lost a lot of money.

He knew that Shi Ning was simple and kind, and he sincerely hoped that she could have a stable future.

One evening, Qin Yishen called Shi Ning to his side and said with a serious face, "Ningning, you've been dating Chen Yu for a while now. You know about his business dealings, right? I heard he's lost a lot of money recently. Can you be sure about your future?"

Shi Ning was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Dad, I know his business hasn't been going well lately, but everyone has their low points. Chen Yu is very hardworking and has a lot of ideas. I believe he can overcome this difficulty."

Qin Yishen frowned and said earnestly, "Dad doesn't want to break you up, but marriage is a lifelong commitment. You can't just look at feelings; a solid financial foundation is also very important. You're still young, and you're thinking too simply about many things."

Shi Ning looked at her father seriously and said firmly, "Dad, I don't think so. If I leave him just because his business is not doing well, what kind of love is that? I believe in his abilities and I am willing to face difficulties with him."

Looking at his daughter's determined eyes, Qin Yishen sighed, "Dad is just worried about you, afraid that you will suffer in the future. Since you are so insistent, Dad can't say anything, but you must be aware of the situation yourself."

Shi Ning nodded obediently: "I know, Dad, don't worry."

At the same time, Chen Yu also noticed the change in Qin Yishen's attitude towards him.

During a family gathering, Qin Yishen casually inquired about his business: "Xiao Chen, I heard your business hasn't been doing so well lately? What are your plans for the future?"

Chen Yu put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Uncle, I have indeed encountered some difficulties recently, but I have found the problem and am trying to find a solution. I plan to adjust my business strategy and explore new markets, and I believe things will improve soon."

Qin Yishen nodded slightly, his tone tinged with worry: "Doing business is not easy. You are still young and have plenty of opportunities, but you must be steady and cautious. Don't let Shi Ning worry about you."

Chen Yu quickly replied, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and won't let Shi Ning down."

After returning home, Chen Yu fell into deep thought.

He knew he had to achieve results as soon as possible to put Shi Ning's family at ease.

So he began to study the market day and night, analyze competitors, and look for new business opportunities.

Shi Ning felt both heartache and gratitude seeing Chen Yu working so hard.

She would cook meals every day and wait for Chen Yu to come home so she could give him a warm hug.

"Don't overwork yourself. I believe you can do it," Shi Ning said gently.

Chen Yu held Shi Ning's hand: "For you, I can't give up. I must let your family see that I have the ability to give you happiness." During this difficult time, Shi Ning and Chen Yu supported each other, and their feelings for each other grew stronger.

Shi Ning used her connections to introduce clients to Chen Yu, while Chen Yu offered her advice when she encountered difficulties at work.

Finally, Chen Yu's efforts paid off. He successfully expanded into new business areas, and the company's performance gradually improved.

When he told Shi Ning the good news, Shi Ning jumped up excitedly: "I knew you could do it!"

Chen Yu hugged Shi Ning tightly: "This is all thanks to your support all this time. Without you, I really don't know what I would have done."

At a family gathering not long after, Chen Yu confidently reported to Qin Yishen and Jiang Man about the improvement in his business.

Qin Yishen smiled with satisfaction: "It seems you really have a fighting spirit. I underestimated you before."

Chen Yu quickly said, "Uncle, thank you for your recognition. I will work harder in the future to give Shi Ning a happy life."

Jiang Man also smiled and said, "Seeing that you are all doing so well, we are relieved."

Chen Yu's business gradually got on track, but he kept Qin Yishen's previous worries in mind and also wanted to give Shi Ning a surprise.

So, on a sunny weekend, Chen Yu said mysteriously to Shi Ning, "Honey, I'm taking you to a great place today."

Shi Ning, full of curiosity, followed Chen Yu to a high-end jewelry store.

Upon entering the store, under the dazzling lights, various exquisite jewelry pieces shimmered with a captivating brilliance.

Shi Ning instantly understood Chen Yu's intention, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Chen Yu took Shi Ning's hand and walked to the display case, smiling as he said to her, "Sweetie, pick one out, which one do you like?"

Shi Ning's eyes lit up as she looked at the glittering gold necklaces, bracelets, and rings, but she still hesitated: "They're so expensive, maybe we shouldn't buy them."

Chen Yu gently pinched her nose and said tenderly, "Silly girl, this is something I've wanted to buy for you for a long time. Business wasn't good before, but now it's better, so I wanted to give you the best."

Shi Ning was moved by Chen Yu's words, and she began to carefully select her items.

Chen Yu patiently stayed by his side, offering his opinions from time to time.

"This necklace complements your skin tone perfectly; it will definitely look good on you."

"This bracelet has a unique design; try it on."

Shi Ning tried on an exquisite gold necklace, and Chen Yu looked at her with eyes full of love: "It's so beautiful, I'll take it."

Next, he picked out a simple yet elegant gold bracelet and a pair of exquisite gold rings.

After paying, Chen Yu carefully put the jewelry on Shi Ning's body.

Looking at Shi Ning's radiant appearance, he smiled with satisfaction: "Baby, do you know? These pieces of jewelry are not only gifts, but also my promise to you. I will work hard to make you always this happy and radiant."

Shi Ning's eyes reddened, and she hugged Chen Yu with emotion: "Thank you, Chen Yu, it's so good to have you. I will always be with you, no matter what the future holds."

As Shi Ning left the jewelry store, she looked at the jewelry on her hands and neck, her heart filled with happiness.

She linked her arm with Chen Yu's and said with a smile, "Let's buy more pretty things together in the future, okay?"
