Chapter 441
Back in Julian’s office… Julian gazed at Chris once Tiffany left them. “You’ve done me a favor. What would you like in return?”
“No, thank you! I don’t need anything. I love helping people. If Big Brother insists on thanking me, though… You could give me your jade ring.” Chris pointed at the ring on Julian’s thumb.
It was a white jade ring with delicate carvings. The white jade was embellished with some irregular emerald jade pieces, like an emerald dragon flying among the clouds. Julian smiled unconsciously at the boy’s request. “You don’t want anything but this jade ring? Do you know how much this costs?” of course Chris knew; he saw it at an auction with Anthony last year. That was an ancient jade ring, and the final price at the auction was 90 million bucks. He liked this ring very much, but his father-Anthony-said a man wearing a jade ring looked too feminine, so he did not buy it for him.
It was only fair, then, that Chris would try his chance to get it, given the opportunity. Chris maintained an innocent face. “I don’t know how much it costs, but I do find it rather good-looking, just like you! I didn’t want to be a busybody-I’m scared that that Big Sister would take revenge. But when I walked past, I saw you’re very handsome like a celebrity! You
also look like a good match with that… That new model, Charmine Jordan, so that’s why I came in to help you. I think you’re as good-looking as this ring, and that’s why I want to keep this as a souvenir.” Chris spoke differently from before, not with his original voice. His tone had become soft and cute.
Julian was not in a good mood as of late, but when he heard what Chris said, his brows relaxed. “You said I look like a good match with Charmine?” he mused.
“Of course! Everyone says that children can tell these things very well, and I’m good at it. I even saw your news; I think you and Charmine look exceptionally well together. I believe that if you keep trying, remain serious and committed, she’ll come back to you!” assured Chris with a serious and sincere face.
Charmine waited for Chris upstairs, and she saw him walking toward her with a grin like a Cheshire cat. “What took you so long, Momo? Did he hurt you?” “No, no. He thanked me, and he even gave me this jade ring as a reward.” Chris gave the ring to Charmine.
Charmine inspected the antique ring, and she could tell right away that it cost a pretty penny. Why would a man like Julian give such an expensive gift away as a reward?
“Momo,” she prodded Chris, “what did you do?” “Haha! Nothing much! I just said things he wanted to hear, and he gave this to me voluntarily. Let’s sell this ring sometime later-we can invest in an amusement park worth ninety million!” Chris chirped happily. Seeing that he was happy, Charmine did not question further, and they both left the mall content and satisfied.
