Chapter 287 Unparalleled Luxury
The moment Liang Liangwei saw the diamond necklace, her mind went blank, and she exclaimed in surprise, "The Peak of the Iceberg!"
Inside the box was a transparent tray, on which "Summit of the Iceberg" was quietly fixed, gleaming with a faint, cold light, exuding unparalleled luxury.
It truly deserves its legendary history spanning over a century, and is a world-class diamond on par with the "Heart of the Ocean".
The shape and size are almost identical to the one I saw on set, but this one is clearly the real deal, as the texture is different.
Yan Zhixu picked up the tray, held it in her palm, and smiled as she asked, "You recognized me?"
Liang Liangwei stared intently at the "Peak of the Iceberg" in his hand, marveling inwardly. She said, "I've seen the fake one, and I've also searched for the real one. The news was so sensational before, of course I could recognize it at a glance."
No woman is immune to the allure of diamonds, and she was no exception. She gazed at them longingly for a while before realizing something was amiss and looking up at the man.
"Didn't you say you left it in the US? How did you bring it here?"
Besides, didn't he say he was going to show her the gift? Why did he bring out "The Summit of the Iceberg"?
What does he mean?
Yan Zhixu looked at her, his dark eyes filled with tenderness, and said, "This is the gift I said I would give you."
Liang Liangwei froze, her body, which had been leaning forward to look at the diamonds, straightened up and stared at the serious-looking man in front of her.
"You're going to give me 'Summit of the Iceberg'?"
Yan Zhixu: "Yes, I brought it here to give to you."
"You're not kidding me, are you? Or..." Liang Liangwei chuckled dryly, "This is actually a high-quality counterfeit?"
Yan Zhixu slowly suppressed her smile, looked at her for a moment, then lowered her eyes, reached into the box and took out a certificate, placing it on the tray. She said, "This is a genuine auction certificate, proving the diamond is real. This box was also provided by the auction house. If you don't believe me—"
Liang Liangwei's gaze fell on the certificate. She had seen fake certificates online before and knew the suspicious points pointed out by netizens. In comparison, this certificate was much more authentic, without any flaws or errors.
Moreover, he wouldn't be the kind of person to fool his girlfriend with fake diamonds. As a big shot, there's no need for that; giving her ordinary diamonds would be enough to make her happy.
However, she was a little shocked that he actually wanted to give her "Peak of the Iceberg".
“I believe it, this really is ‘the top of the iceberg’,” she interrupted him. “I just didn’t expect you to give it to me. Didn’t you take a picture of it to give to your grandmother as a birthday present?”
Yan Zhixu was taken aback: "How do you know about my grandmother?"
Liang Liangwei: "That day I had dinner with Yan Beian, and he told me about your background. That's when I found out you weren't his biological uncle."
Yan Zhixu also remembered the video she received from her that day, showing her eating hot pot with Yan Bei'an.
His background was not a taboo subject, nor was it a secret that could not be told to outsiders. She knew, so he didn't care.
He nodded slightly and said, "I'll introduce you to my grandparents sometime. This diamond necklace..."
Liang Liangwei: "I can't accept it."
Yan Zhixu's eyes darkened: "Why?"
Liang Liangwei: "Didn't you take this picture for your grandmother? How could you give it to me?"
Yan Zhixu frowned: "Who told you that?"
Liang Liangwei said tactfully, "That's not important. Anyway, I know. Besides, it's too expensive. Given our current relationship, it's not appropriate for us to accept a gift of this level."
Yan Zhixu carefully chose her words: "What is our relationship now? Isn't it normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to exchange gifts?"
Liang Liangwei has her own bottom line: "If you give me an LV bag or Chanel perfume, I will be happy to accept it."
Those are at most tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, not... more than fifty million, which is so outrageous.
She already felt luxurious enough after accepting his diamond necklace and watch worth millions.
Moreover, the two have only been together for less than a month. Although their relationship is very stable, she would still feel unworthy to accept such an expensive gift right now.
Furthermore, even if she had known that he bought the "Summit of the Iceberg" to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, she wouldn't have been able to accept it with peace of mind, no matter why he suddenly wanted to give it to her.
Yan Zhixu understood what she meant, and with a smile, said, "That was my carelessness. It was my first time dating, and I didn't know what girls liked, so I didn't think to buy those things."
Liang Liangwei chuckled and nodded seriously, "Yes, I understand."
Yan Zhixu paused, looked down at the "Peak of the Iceberg" in her hand, a faint smile in her eyes, and said, "Initially, I bought it to make a birthday gift for my grandmother next month, but I didn't know you at that time, so I naturally didn't expect the current situation."
“When I went back last week, my grandma somehow found out that I had collected it and brought it up with me. I thought she wanted to see the gift in advance, but after she saw it, she asked me to bring the diamond over and give it to you.”
Liang Liangwei was taken aback: "Did your grandmother ask you to give it to me?"
Yan Zhixu nodded: "Originally, I said I would choose another gift for you, but she disagreed. She felt that I was with you because I liked you very much, so I had to show my sincerity. 'The Peak of the Iceberg' is the best way to show my sincerity. I think she must have seen the news before."
Liang Liangwei felt a little embarrassed: "She...she also knew about that news? Does that mean she's seen what I look like?"
At the time, the video of her arguing with Le Peier was widely circulated online, and it was screenshotted, enlarged, and even other photos of her were posted online, making her face even clearer.
His grandmother, who was on the other side of the ocean, actually saw it!
Yan Zhixu smiled and nodded: "Not only did my grandmother see it, but my aunt also saw it. She even looked at the photos I saved on my phone."
Liang Liangwei covered her face in embarrassment and glared at him, saying, "Why did you show them my photos!"
She sent him a lot of selfies, many of which showed her making funny faces and behaving silly. Didn't he see them all?
Stinky man!
Yan Zhixu didn't respond, but just smiled, his eyes full of doting affection.
He then gestured forward with the "Summit of the Iceberg" in his hand: "Will you accept it?"
Liang Liangwei took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and shook her head, saying, "No, as I just said, it's still the same reason, it's not suitable to take it now."
Yan Zhixu knew she was serious, and the smile on her lips faded again, replaced by a hint of regret in her eyes.
But he didn't insist. He put the diamond back in the box and said, "I'll take it back first. I'll give it to you again when you feel it's suitable."
Liang Liangwei raised her eyebrows and eyes.
That jerk is actually pretty smart.
She was only offering a temporary refusal, not a complete rejection.
