"I had my eye on that necklace. Shaochen knew how much I liked it… I wanted him to buy it for me. But… he said that necklace didn't suit me. Heh…" She let out a bitter laugh.
"What's 'suitable' or 'not suitable' supposed to mean anyway? I know very well it was because that salesgirl told him the symbolic meaning of that necklace was that you and the one you love can be of one heart, be in perfect harmony, be together forever… So I wasn't the person he was looking for.
Do you have any idea how I felt at that moment? Do you know how humiliating it was, how much it hurt, when the clerk looked at me like that?
But… all I could do was smile, pretend it didn't matter.
Yet when I saw Shaochen looking at that necklace, his eyes lit up. I knew… I knew that at that instant, whoever he was thinking about, it definitely wasn't me.
So I made a bet with myself.
I bought that necklace, tampered with it, then returned it to the store. I had Manager An sell that necklace to Shaochen.
