Ye Qing Xin looks at that watch but she doesn’t say anything. She is thinking about something.
“Why? You don’t like this style?” Gu Qiao is regretting it. She passes the watch back to the sales assistant: “Then look around. I’ll choose one for my Pa.”
She chooses 180000 Yuan watch for Gu Xing De. Then she just swipes her card.
Gu Qiao spent around eight five million for a necklace that it’s not even worth three million.
This Gu Qiao is quite lucky. Her father is taken to be the godson of Old Madame Yan and Old Mister Yan. So she also rises into a new status.
“Are you done?” Gu Qiao comes over after she paid her watch.
Ye Qing Xin’s gaze falls on a platinum watch with black strap that is in roman numeral. It looks elegant and magnanimous.
Gu Qiao notices it: “You like this one?”
Ye Qing Xin nods and asks the sales assistant: “How much is this one?”
The sales assistant answers politely: “445000 Yuan.”
It’s more expensive then Gu Qiao’s watch that she bought before.
Ye Qing Xin feels the pain.
She feels distressed for the money that she never spends.
Gu Qiao says: “Even though this is more expensive, but it’s quite good. But it’s not as good as previous one. A business man’s accessories. Is not for looking good or the price. But for show clearly his imposing manner and to overwhelm their partner.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “The style that you said before, he already has one. It’s better this one. The most important thing in giving is heart, as for other thing. I think he doesn’t care. What do you think, Qiao Qiao Jie?”
Gu Qiao smiles: “He should like what you give him.”
Ye Qing Xin says to the sales assistant: “Just this one.” She says firmly.
The sales assistant doesn’t expect her to really want to buy it. Her smile is getting brighter.
Gu Qiao looks at the busy sales assistant and says to Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin.....”
She hasn’t finished her words and Ye Qing Xin’s phone rings.
She takes it out to look at it. It’s Jing Bo Yuan’s number.
She smiles and says to Gu Qiao: “I’m sorry. I’ll answer a call first.” Then she moves to the other side.
“Xin Xin, I still have a lot of things to do. You just tidy up your thing at home. I’ll pick you up around six o’clock then we will go together to the airport.”
Ye Qing Xin nods and says: “Em, don’t worry.”
Then it’s a two second silent. Jing Bo Yuan says with apologetic tone: “Is it too boring to be at home?”
Ye Qing Xin laughs and says: “No, I’m strolling around now with a friend.”
“Friend? How can I not know that you have friend at Hong Kong.”
“It’s Gu Qiao. You know her right. This afternoon she called me to ask me out. I also have to buy something for Wei R. So I come out. What is it? Are you unhappy?”
Jing Bo Yuan laughs lightly, then he shifts the topic: “Where are you?”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t think and just answers: “Ocean center.”
“Em, there’s a lot of people there. Be careful. If you are done, go home and have dinner.”
“Em.”
The calls ends. Ye Qing Xin puts her phone inside. The sales assistant passes a fine plastic to her.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t take it. She just takes out her wallet and pulls out the card that Qu Qi gave her this morning.
“Your watch is already paid.” The sales assistant explains to her.
Ye Qing Xin looks at her. She is calm and asks her: “I just had a call before, when did I pay for it?”
The sales assistant is startled by her question: “The Miss that comes with you, she said that she help you to pay....”
Gu Qiao is sitting down on the sofa and having a tea. She looks over at Ye Qing Xin and raises her cup of tea.
Ye Qing Xin smiles and looks at the sales assistant. Her face is serious: “This watch is for me to buy, or my friend to buy?”
The sales assistant doesn’t understand her question and just answers: “It’s you that want to buy it?”
“Then who should pay for it?”
The sales assistant realizes it, her voice turns low: “It should be you.”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say anything more and she just looks at the sales assistant.
Although Ye Qing Xin always smiles and looks gentle like someone with no temper and friendly, but she i strict.
The sales assistant hesitates for a while and says to her: “Can you.... just give the money directly to your friend? If not it will be hard on us.”
Ye Qing Xin purses her lips and looks at her. She is indifferent at her implore.
The sales assistant looks at how Ye Qing Xin is not easy to negotiate. She walks toward Gu Qiao. She says something to Gu Qiao. Gu Qiao looks at Ye Qing Xin and takes the plastic from the sales assistant and comes over.
“Xin Xin, why are you so modest to me. Nai Nai likes you, last time you visited my house, you made Nai nai happy. Just see this as my thank you gift.” Gu Qiao smiles and passes the plastic bag.
Ye Qing Xin smiles without any trace of unhappiness: “Then just let it be. I don’t want to this watch. I saw before that a lot of watch stores here, I will go take a look again.”
Gu Qiao’s smile turns stiff.
The sales assistant’s face changes and says: “Miss, you..... are you making thing difficult for us. You return the good like this, it’s not conform to the social etiquette...”
Ye Qing Xin says calmly: “You don’t get my permission and just take my friend’s money, is it conforming to the social etiquette?”
The sales assistant is speechless.
For this matter she is too inattentive.
She just observes that Ye Qing Xin’s clothes are ordinary one. She thinks that Ye Qing Xin should have no money. On the contrary, Gu Qiao is dressed up in expensive high-end brand clothes. With one glance, everyone will think that Gu Qiao is the rich person so the time Gu Qiao said that she wanted to help her to pay. She didn’t refuse, she forgot to ask about Ye Qing Xin’s comment.
People always put money first.
A rich person and poor person are placed in front. People will unconsciously think that the rich person will be the leader, they will only respect the rich one and sometimes ignore the poor.
She didn’t expect that she will encounter this moment.
Gu Qiao regains herself and smiles: “You are too stubborn. If you really cannot accept it just take it as I lend you 440000. Later on you can give me back. Don’t make thing hard for people. They are also in difficulty....”
Her words somehow show that she is good at understanding others at that time she says implicitly that Ye Qing Xin is willful and unreasonable.
Ye Qing Xin smiles and says calmly: “Qiao Qiao jie, don’t plead mercy for her. She didn’t get my approval and she just took your money. It’s her mistake and she should bear the consequence. Moreover, I want to buy this watch as a gift. The mot important thing in giving is sincerity. How can I let you pay for it, it’s like you are the one that give it? If he knows, he will not be happy. He will say that I’m not sincere enough and doesn’t willing to spend my money for him.”
Gu Qiao smiles: “you little girl, is too considerate.” But her smile is unnatural.
The sales assistant doesn’t want to lose customer, she apologizes to Ye Qing Xin: “Then let me refund your friend money then you pay it, is it okay?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I’m sorry. I gave you a chance. It’s you who miss it.”
The sales assistant: “....”
Ye Qing Xin’s phone rings again.
She ignores the sales assistant and takes out her phone. It’s unknown number.
She answers.
“Madame, where are you?”
Ye Qing Xin is confused and asks: “What is it?”
“Mister asked me to help you bring things.”
Ye Qing Xin is startled and smiles. She tells the driver her location.
While she is waiting for the refund, the driver appears in the store.
“Madame.” He comes inside, “Where are your thing? Let me help you take it.”
Ye Qing Xin points out at Gu Qiao’s shopping bag on the table. “I’ve nothing. You can just help Ms Gu to pick it up.”
The time they come out.
Gu Qiao is calm like she is not affected by Ye Qing Xin’s action before.
She just holds her hand and looks at the driver: “Who is he?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and explains: “it’s the driver. He drove me here, Bo Yuan asked him to help me carry the bag.”
Gu Qiao smiles: “Your man really loves you dearly. It makes me envy.”
Ye Qing Xin purses her lips and doesn’t say anything.
They enter the same high-end male watch store. She chooses the similar design as before. The price is also similar around 428600.
This time Gu Qiao doesn’t intervene her choice. She also doesn’t mention to help her pay. She just sits down and drinks tea.
During swiping the card, she just remembers that she doesn’t know the pin. Qu Qi said before it’s Jing Bo Yuan’s account, Jing Bo Yuan knows the pin.
She calls Jing Bo Yuan.
“Is there any problem?” Jing Bo Yuan asks seriously.
The kind of tone that “if you have nothing else” just hangs up.
Ye Qing Xin knows that he is busy so she just asks directly: “Mr Qu gave me card, what is the pin?”
Jing Bo Yuan says six-digit pin.
Ye Qing Xin repeats it twice and says: “I get it. I’ll hang up...” She pauses and says again: “Take care your health. Don’t be too tired.”
Jing Bo Yuan says to her: “Em, after you’re done, go home early and don’t forget to have dinner.”
Ye Qing Xin enters the pin.
The time to sign, she hesitates for a moment. Then she signs seriously Jing Bo Yuan’s name.
It’s her first time to write his name.
The time they come out of the store.
Gu Qiao says by accident: “Your man is really generous at you.”
She thinks that Ye Qing Xin will have no money to buy this watch. She didn’t expect her to spend money without even blinking her eyes. Gu Qiao knows clearly about Ye Qing Xin’s family background. She shouldn’t have a lot of money. She hasn’t even graduated so she shouldn’t have any money. She thinks it should be Jing Bo Yuan, who gives it to her.
A woman that can only spend a man’s money. It’ll not last long. That man will be tired of her one day.
Ye Qing Xin could notice her hidden meaning. She just smiles and doesn’t explain.
She thinks it’s unnecessary to explain.
Even though she knows Gu Qiao, but they are not really best friend. She doesn’t really care how Gu Qiao thinks about her. Moreover she also cannot tell Gu Qiao that she has money from Gu Qiao. Maybe Gu Qiao will vomit to death if she knows.
She remembers Qu Qi’s story this morning. She looks at the necklace again.
It’s beautiful indeed, but it’s not that beautiful that it can let people interested to spend lot of money. This pink diamond necklace is just ordinary one.
Ye Qing Xin remembers that she needs to buy things for Dou Weir. She notices that Gu Qiao looks uninterested like she is tired. So she says: “I still want to buy things for my friend. If you are tired and don’t want to stroll again, do you want to go home first? I can ask the driver to take me to buy it.”
Gu Qiao smiles: “I am the one that asked you out, how can I abandon you to stroll around, what do you want to buy? I’ll go with you.”
Ye Qing Xin buys everything that Dou Weir asked. When she’s done, It’s already five o’clock.
“Xin Xin, are you going have dinner with that man?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and asks: “Why?”
“Nothing. I just want to know if you will or not, if you are not then let’s have dinner together. I know a restaurant that sells a good caviar then we can have a meal at Italian restaurant upstairs...”
Ye Qing Xin looks at the time. Jing Bo Yuan said that he will pick her up at six o’clock and they will go to the airport. She cannot eat again with Gu Qiao.
“I”m sorry, we will go back to Jing City today at eight. I need to pack up my things. Now I need to go home.”
Gu Qiao is startled and smiles: “What a coincidence, I also in eight o’clock flight, you guys are business class right?”
Ye Qing Xin is not sure: “Should be.”
“Okay, then you go home and pack up. I also will go home and pack up. Maybe tonight we can meet up again.”
Both of them go separate ways.
This time is the peak hour. It’s so crowded and packed.
When the car arrives at the house. Ye Qing Xin gets off the car and runs to the room. Because she is with neat Jing Bo Yuan, she doesn’t place her things in messy manner. She can pack up so easily and quick.
The time she just finishes, she hears a faint sound of car engine.
After a while, Jing Bo Yuan goes up with two other men behind him. Ye Qing Xin has seen them before, they were the ones that picked them up in the airport. They just take their suitcase down.
Ye Qing Xin comes over and hugs Jing Bo Yuan’s arm: “Are you done with your business?”
She could smell a faint of peppermint scent on his body. She feels that he just comes back from business dinner.
Jing Bo Yuan pinches her face lightly: “Are you done? Have you have your dinner?”
Ye Qing Xin looks at his face. He is not really white but his face is clean and smooth. His hair is neat. His eyes are dark.
He is so charming.
She doesn’t know whether it’s her own illusion or not, but she could notice the tiredness on his face.
Ye Qing Xin asks him considerately: “Are you tired?”
Ye Qing Xin hugs his arm and looks at his face.
In the next moment.
That man kisses her lips.
In a flash, she is surrounded by his scent.
She is startled for a moment and hugs his neck. She responds to her kiss gently.
After quite some time.
Jing Bo Yuan presses her on the wall. His hands are on her hair. He looks at her eyes.
She couldn’t understand the meaning behind his gaze, but she seems to be understand the hidden meaning behind his kiss.
He always appears to be respectable and strong in front of anyone else. Perhaps there’s no one ever knows that this strong man also can feel tired.
Perhaps there’s no one ever asks him, whether he is tired or not?
Ye Qing Xin stands on tiptoe and pecks once again on his lips. She wants to comfort him.
Then he suddenly says: “Let’s go.”
Ye Qing Xin nods: “em.”
They both get on the car. The butler takes all the maid to send them off: “Mr, Mrs, have a good trip home.”
The time they arrive at the airport, Luo Feng welcomes them and passes two tickets to them. He also takes their suitcase.
Qu Qi is also there with several other high-level directors, assistants, and secretary.
Meeting Ye Qing Xin once again makes Qu Qi feels somewhat unnatural.
Ye Qing Xin already forgets about those things and just smiles at everyone.
Jing Bo Yuan takes her to the lane for business class.
Inspection, security check, boarding.
When they just sit down.
“Xin Xin.” Gu Qiao calls her: “I’m alone. It’s too boring. Luckily there’s you.”
Ye Qing Xin turns her head to see her. Gu Qiao has changed her clothes but she still wears the same necklace.
Gu Qiao sits down behind them, she is quite near from their seat.
Ye Qing Xin wants to say something but her phone rings.
She smiles: “Let me answer my call first.”
She takes out her phone, it’s Dou Weir’s number.
“Hello, Weir.”
“Xin Xin....” Dou Weir’s voice is so weak.
Ye Qing Xin is shocked: “What is it?”
“Xin Xin..... help me....” Dou Weir is weak and scared. Ye Qing Xin could notice that she is shivering.
Ye Qing Xin holds Jing Bo Yuan’s arm unconsciously. She says calmly: “Weir, don’t be afraid. Tell me what happened to you? I’ll help you.”
“Old friend... Shi Ying, Ca, Carlton..... 81208... Xin Xin...... Carlton.....8..... 81208
