693: If you don't want to die, get down right there! Robbery!
After hearing Lin Xuan's answer, a touch of emotion also appeared in William Howard's eyes.
He could tell.
The reason the young man in front of him could clearly remember every detail was because his love for his wife was... etched into his bones! Unforgettable!!!
This shocking depth of affection made even him feel somewhat inferior.
As time eroded his memory, he actually had some trouble recalling the image and voice of his deceased wife... William Howard lowered his gaze, a flicker of reminiscence in his eyes, and then raised his hand to pat Lin Xuan's shoulder.
He sighed, saying:
"Young man, your deep affection... reminds me of my Mona Lisa..."
"I remember in my youth, I, too, was like you, willing to give everything for her, but alas..."
"I wish you and your wife a long and happy life together, to grow old together."
"Love is priceless! But only those who truly know how to cherish it are worthy of this priceless treasure."
"I can give you the ocean heart. Not sell it, but give it to you."
"Because only a person with such deep affection as you is worthy of it."
...
At these words, the entire hall erupted!
Everyone's eyes widened, looking at William Howard in disbelief.
They hadn't expected this legendary jeweler to actually be willing to give away this diamond, which symbolized eternal love... and without taking a single penny, giving it away for free!
This was simply too generous!!!!
..."What? Mr. William is actually going to give him the ocean heart?!"
"This... How is this possible? That's a priceless treasure! Giving it away for free is too incredible, isn't it?"
"But... that kid's deep affection really does make him worthy of this diamond, doesn't it?"
"That's true! Don't be jealous, all of you. If you have the guts, be as affectionate as he is! You probably have a bunch of mistresses outside! Scumbags deserve to die!!!"
..."These fickle people, let alone moving Mr. William, would probably just infuriate the old man to death!"
"Yes! Su Qingge is truly fortunate! To find such a rare good man like Lin Xuan!"
"Only by truly loving one person can you remember so many details about the other! Lin Xuan's love for Su Qingge is evident to heaven and earth! It truly makes one envious!"
"This is true love! Presumably, only such a person would not disgrace the ocean heart!!!!!"
...
The guests' expressions were complex.
Although there was a lot of discussion, no one truly felt it was inappropriate.
The most affectionate person in Modu + the ocean heart, symbolizing love.
Well-deserved! A perfect match!!!
The girls present were even more envious of Su Qingge, their eyes full of longing and yearning.
They had never met such an affectionate man who could remember every little preference of his wife so clearly.
Every word was filled with sincere love for his wife.
If the partners they meet in the future could have half of Lin Xuan's affection, they would feel like they had saved the galaxy in their previous lives--
Facing the complex gazes of "envy, jealousy, and hatred" constantly cast from all around.
Lin Xuan, however, remained calm.
He didn't hesitate or decline, but smiled slightly, bowed deeply to William Howard, and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Mr. William."
"I will definitely cherish this ocean heart."
"I will definitely pass on this deep affection forever."
...
William Howard nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, and blessed him:
"Young man, may you and your wife be forever happy."
...
Lin Xuan nodded solemnly: "I will, Mr. William."
...Two and a half minutes later.
Just as old William and Lin Xuan were getting along like old friends and chatting happily.
He suddenly remembered something, put down his wine glass, and asked:
"Son, I just forgot to ask."
"Earlier, I heard from my subordinates that when you proposed to buy the ocean heart, you said..."
"If I agreed to the transaction, you would help me keep the remaining jewels."
"Otherwise, what I would lose after tonight..."
"Would be not just one ocean heart, but all the priceless collectibles here?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"It couldn't possibly be that if you couldn't buy it, you planned to forcibly take it or rob me, could it?"
...
At this point, William Howard couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head, even he felt this idea was a bit wild.
Who would have thought, Lin Xuan, upon hearing this, grinned and said meaningfully:
"Mr. William, the time is almost up."
"The show... should begin!"
...
As soon as he finished speaking.
In William Howard's bewildered gaze, the banquet hall door was suddenly kicked open, and a group of masked men armed with weapons rushed in, their leader fiercely shouting:
"Everyone who doesn't want to die, squat down!!!!"
"Robbery!!!!!"
