C4 Ten Pairs of First Love Versus the Eternal Love
The female employees' eyes sparkled with excitement at the sight of Qin Huan, as if they could burst into pink bubbles. This man was truly exceptional!
However, their excitement waned when they realized that Tang Xinran was the one paying for all the clothes. They thought to themselves, "What a waste of such good looks and charm, to be nothing more than a pretty boy kept by a wealthy woman..."
Qin Huan's expression darkened further. What had he gotten himself into?
Tang Xinran, on the other hand, was having a blast dressing Qin Huan in the latest fashions, which in turn would reflect well on her. But as she reveled in her excellent taste, she suddenly felt a dampness below. She remembered that today was the day her period was due, and ironically, she had chosen to wear a white dress to look her best for the wedding certificate photo.
"Uh, my aunt Flo has made a surprise visit, so I need to run to the ladies' department on the second floor to grab a few things... Pick out some more clothes here, and I'll be back to pay for them in a bit," Tang Xinran murmured to Qin Huan.
Left to wait by a woman who had family business to attend to, Qin Huan was relieved he didn't have to play along with the shopping any longer. Besides, Yunsell Mall was owned by Zhan Yi, who was doing his rounds in the office on the seventh floor today. Chatting with him would certainly be more interesting than mindless shopping.
"Alright, I'll take a look around the mall. Give me a call when you're finished," he said.
"Be good! I'll treat you to a feast later!" Tang Xinran teased, giving Qin Huan's cheek a playful pat before striding off.
Qin Huan could feel the shop assistants' judgmental stares and had to fight the urge to lose his temper.
...
After purchasing some sanitary products on the second floor and taking a moment to freshen up in the restroom, Tang Xinran continued upstairs. As she passed the third floor, the Tiffany & Co. jewelry store caught her eye, and she couldn't help but enter.
The dazzling pair of limited edition 'Eternal Love' couple rings were still on display. They were the rings she and Jiang Lingyuan had planned to buy for their engagement. The shop assistant handed her the 'Eternal Love' ring, and it fit her finger perfectly.
The 'Eternal Love' ring was still there, but Jiang Lingyuan's love had already been given to her cousin, Tang Ruoyun...
Tang Xinran's mind replayed the moment she returned from an international business trip, eager to surprise Jiang Lingyuan, only to find her boyfriend entwined in an intimate embrace with her cousin. Her first love, shattered—was it all because Feida Group was under the control of her great uncle, Tang Mingcheng?
Gazing at the ring, Tang Xinran clenched her jaw. Once she seized control of Feida Group, she would fiercely confront that treacherous pair.
Lost in thought, she was interrupted by the soft voice of the very cousin who betrayed her, Tang Ruoyun. "Xinran, what brings you here? Are you shopping for a ring too?"
Suppressing her disgust, Tang Xinran turned sharply. "What I'm buying is none of your business!"
A look of sorrow washed over Tang Ruoyun's delicate features. "Xinran, please don't be like this. I've always let you have your way since we were kids, but I can't just give up the one I love..."
Tang Xinran's anger flared at her cousin's audacity. "Tang Ruoyun, how can you stand to parade around with that insincere act every day? Everyone knows Jiang Lingyuan was my first love..."
Before Tang Ruoyun could respond, her friend Faang Manna, another high-society figure from River City, sneered, "Nine out of ten first loves end in heartbreak. Haven't you heard? What significance does a first love hold? Who understands true love when it's all so naive? Now, Ruoyun is the one Lingyuan truly loves!"
