Captivated by the sight, Yueyue instinctively reached for Wang Ying’s hand. Wang Ying pulled back abruptly, as if Yueyue was about to touch her Achilles’ heel.
Seeing the confusion on the other’s face, Wang Ying realized she might have overreacted and quickly gave an awkward laugh,
"The watch strap gets dirty easily, uh... the salesperson said once it’s dirty, it can’t be refunded or exchanged, I’m just worried something might happen."
"So, is this really the watch you guys just bought?"
Without thinking too much, Yueyue curiously asked, "Where did you buy it, and what brand is it?"
"Zhou Wang gave it to us, he bought two extras when he was getting a watch for Jiang Mo..."
Wang Ying hesitated for a moment, and seeing Zhou Wang unresponsive, she said honestly.
"Oh my god, Jiang Mo, your watch is so... extravagant!"
With Wang Ying’s words, Yueyue finally noticed Jiang Mo’s lowered wrist, with a watch encrusted with diamonds. At first glance, it would inevitably capture one’s gaze.
"It looks nice, but this style... doesn’t really match your vibe, does it? If it didn’t have those flashy fake diamonds, it might look a bit better?"
Yueyue wore a peculiar expression, unsure of what to say, subconsciously commenting.
Wearing such a "fake watch" seemed to Yueyue like carrying a counterfeit LV bag, an embarrassment to those in the know...
"Yueyue, those aren’t fake diamonds, they’re real!"
Cindy couldn’t stand Yueyue’s gesturing and said something.
Yueyue burst out laughing, "Cindy, are you okay? Do you know even with tiny diamonds, filling an entire watch would cost an astronomical amount?"
Cindy wanted to argue but was pulled back by Wang Ying.
Cindy saw Wang Ying shaking her head at her and, although a little dissatisfied, didn’t say anything more.
Yueyue didn’t mind and winked at Zhou Wang, who hadn’t spoken, "I’m right, aren’t I, Zhou Wang?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang just smiled, "Yeah, you’re right, it does cost quite a bit. These watches together cost me a few million."
"Pfft, hahaha... Zhou Wang, you’re hilarious!"
Yueyue laughed heartily, thinking she’d figured something out, "Ah, I get it, you guys went to that little shop street in Xidan, right? Haha, Sister Ying, take me there sometime too, even though you can’t wear them out, they must look great in photos..."
Wang Ying didn’t know what to say, so she just nodded perfunctorily.
There was something she hadn’t had a chance to tell Cindy yet. Earlier, on the subway, she discreetly checked, only to find out that the "women’s grenade" Zhou Wang gave them was worth far more than twelve thousand...
On some forums, people were willing to buy it for twenty thousand.
After researching for a while and understanding the difference between "retail price" and "market price," Wang Ying realized just how precious the gift Zhou Wang had given them was.
It’s not something you could just walk into Patek Philippe with tens of thousands and buy.
The invisible threshold behind it was what attracted so many women...
At that moment, Wang Ying understood why "Patek Philippe" was called the king of watches.
So, Zhou Wang, who Patek Philippe treated so seriously, huh? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
The more she knew, the more awe she felt.
Wang Ying originally wanted to find a chance to ask Zhou Wang what exactly he did, but now she didn’t dare to ask.
...She was afraid she wouldn’t understand even if Zhou Wang explained.
As Yueyue sat over with Wang Ying and Cindy, joking about wanting to try on their "diamond watches," Zhang Jie, on the side, seemed to want to say something.
He understood a bit about watches and knew a few brands, feeling that the logo on the watches Wang Ying and the others wore seemed oddly familiar, but he couldn’t quite place where he’d seen it.
While the girls were playfully chatting, Zhou Wang’s phone rang. He glanced at it and picked up,
"Hey, Qingkui, are you in Beidou yet... Oh, me? I’m... I don’t even know what I’m doing, but it might be a while. You should contact Miao Ying first, she knows the address..."
The sun set in the west, the golden light filtering through gaps in ancient skyscrapers, casting on the terrace of the hidden restaurant.
Soft, soothing music floated in the air, guests inside the restaurant whispered and laughed, but Zhou Wang and the others were still waiting on the terrace.
Zhou Wang focused on companionship and felt okay with it, spending most of his time holding the senior’s hand, slowly feeling the delicacy of her palm, feeling immensely satisfied.
It felt good not to think about anything. At some moments, Zhou Wang even felt a bit dazed.
If he were just an ordinary person but had a partner like the senior, life could be satisfying, right?
But as the sunlight flickered, Zhou Wang snapped back to reality. What was he thinking? If he were truly ordinary, how could he have such a treasure girl...
Nearby, Wang Ying and Yueyue’s chatter occasionally turned into complaints as the restaurant hadn’t even served them a single glass of water.
The opening time for Peninsula·Furongli Restaurant should have been around six, but as everyone knew, such things were never on time.
It’s not that people in Huaxia lacked a "sense of time," but because we had our own "time rules."
