Chapter 257: Chapter 189: Townhouse Chapter 257: Chapter 189: Townhouse “Click—” The lights flickered, and the car door locked.
Lin Muxue held a bunch of shopping bags, her complexion slightly reddened, occasionally stealing glances at Tang Song.
Once she was sure he was not angry, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her emotions had surged moments ago, and she had almost thrown herself at him carelessly.
She didn’t really know much about Tang Song, having only interacted with him three or four times.
Most of the image she compiled was from notes on Little Red Book and descriptions from Zhao Yaqian.
In her mind, he was supposed to be an upwardly mobile, highly efficient, excellent, disciplined, and warmly generous perfect man.
Now, she knew he had a girlfriend, and moreover, she was good friends with his girlfriend.
Flirting with him under these circumstances felt daunting and shameful; it was simply dishonorable.
When dealing with such an attractive man, she still hoped to maintain a positive image, afraid of revealing her true nature and disappointing Tang Song.
It was already two in the afternoon, and there were hardly any people in the elevator.
Lin Muxue licked her lips, humbly said, “Tang Song, just now… I was just too surprised, so I acted rashly. Honestly, this is the best gift I’ve ever received.”
“It’s okay, I understand.” Tang Song looked at her with a smile, finding it very amusing.
If not for this special edition, she might really think Xue was a cold and intellectual rich girl.
But now, every time he remembered the exaggerated captions above her forehead, he felt she was quite contradictory.
Of course, from how she’d been aloof in responding on WeChat, it was obvious she truly loved money.
Although with the system’s help, Xue’s affinity for him was extremely high, Tang Song decided to thoroughly “exercise” his EQ with her.
He wanted to see what new antics she could come up with.
“Ding—” The elevator door slowly opened.
Lin Muxue raised her head and smiled at him: “Goodbye, Tang Song, let’s have dinner together sometime.”
“Bye-bye~” Tang Song waved his hand with a smile.
Stepping out of the elevator, Lin Muxue was like activating a predefined program.
Head held high, chest out, her steps composed.
Twisting her sexy waist towards the office.
The sound of her high heels echoed in the hallway.
The conspicuous “LV” and “CHANEL” logos were unabashedly displayed.
Colleagues around the reception area immediately cast looks of awe and envy.
Lin Muxue’s lips curved upwards, elegantly nodding to them, “Susu, Wenjie, Sun Yang… Good afternoon.”
“Good afternoon, Muxue!”
“Did you go shopping? That’s a lot of stuff! And all big brands!”
Sitting at the reception, Sun Yang immediately stood up, saying with a joyful face, “Muxue, you’re back.”
“The boutique store released some new items, so I went browsing with a friend.”
While talking, she placed the myriad of shopping bags on the ground inside.
It must be said, carrying so many items was indeed heavy.
It felt somewhat uncomfortable lifting them while wearing 7 cm high heels.
She pulled out the office chair and sat down, comfortably stretching her legs.
Soon, several female colleagues gathered around.
“Xue, I heard from Jiaojiao that you bought a black silver Leboy? May I see it?”
“And the Christmas edition, I’ve been thinking of buying one recently.”
Lin Muxue silently moved her hand through the many shopping bags, picking out the items.
Enjoying her colleagues’ flattery and envy, she was ecstatic.
Then, she took out a black gift bag from Vacheron Constantin, extracted a substantial gift box, and gently opened it.
A brand-new luxurious watch appeared before her.
Revered as a classic masterpiece among the Vacheron Constantin brand.
The Overseas 2305V, elegantly designed, with outstanding mechanical performance, rich in features, and high in reputation and recognition.
The dial had sunburst satin finish and velvet-smooth minute track.
18K gold indexes, diamond-studded bezel, and three types of straps: stainless steel, alligator, and rubber.
With a public price of 230,000, it was the ultimate show-off tool she longed for.
All her bags combined weren’t as expensive as this watch!
For her, this was the pinnacle of luxury.
Lin Muxue was dazzled.
When she had helped pick it out previously, she did not know this watch would belong to her, but now, opening it again, her mindset was entirely different.
She felt this was the most beautiful gift she had ever received in her life.
Having a guy like Tang Song as a simple friend was a tremendous happiness.
However, as a girl with “ambition,” she naturally would not stop there.
“Muxue, what kind of watch is that? Vacheron Constantin? It’s beautiful!” Li Xuejiao’s head leaned in.
Soon, other colleagues from the administrative department gathered around.
Lin Muxue smiled lightly, stating calmly, “It’s the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 2305V. I’ve been quite fond of the rose gold dial recently, so I went for this model.”
After speaking, she took out her phone and snapped a glamorous photo.
A female colleague whispered, “I remember President Zhou wears an Overseas too, right? So they make women’s watches in this series too, so beautiful!”
“President Zhou’s is a classic model from the chronograph series, costing about the same, over 200,000.” Lin Muxue nonchalantly showed off.
Immediately, a gasp of awe resounded around her.
Before, other department colleagues had privately ridiculed Lin Muxue for showing off, claiming she wasn’t as wealthy as she appeared.
But now, this wave of hefty purchases effectively dispelled those rumors.
Noticing the looks from her female colleagues, Lin Muxue smiled and exchanged the Cartier on her wrist for the Overseas.
She felt incredibly powerful now, wanting to slap anyone in sight.
After the excitement subsided, the colleagues reluctantly left.
