Chapter 72: Chapter 71: The Wristwatch Chapter 72: Chapter 71: The Wristwatch 4 p.m. Sky Garden Community. “Qianqian, why have you been spacing out all day? It’s just unemployment, isn’t it? Just prepare well, and the new job will definitely be better. Cheer up!” He Liting patted her head. Zhao Yaqian let out an “oh,” then collapsed onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. “Sigh, you...” He Liting massaged her temples and continued to comfort her, “At least they paid you a month’s salary, right? Now you can count yourself as a little rich lady with over 5000 yuan in savings. Shall we go out and do some shopping? Maybe have a big meal afterward?” “I don’t want to move.” Zhao Yaqian turned over and picked up her phone from the coffee table. Somehow, she opened Tang Song’s chat window. Her gaze lingered vacantly on the photo of skewers and milk tea. Obviously, Tang Song bought her favorite food last night to visit her, only to find out that Yiz Beauty Industry had gone out of business. Then he called to show concern and comfort her. While talking... it just... Thinking about it, she immediately recalled the words Tang Song had said. [“Zhao Yaqian, do you have feelings for me? I mean the kind between a boyfriend and a girlfriend.”] [“You’re so troubled, okay, I think I know the answer.”] For some reason, every time she thought about that last sentence, she felt somewhat panic-stricken. It was like the feeling of bombing an exam in the past, a bit scared, a bit uneasy, yet fantasizing about a retake. But if there were a retake, what would the correct answer be? Zhao Yaqian scratched her head, her eyelids drooped down, and her mouth pouted, looking aggrieved. After a moment, she suddenly stood up from the sofa, startling He Liting beside her. “Ting, let’s go to Liyuan Mall later; I’m going to take a shower first.” He Liting laughed, “Thought it through? That’s more like it. I’ll help you do your hair later.” Zhao Yaqian exhaled, but her mind was on the men’s wristwatch she had spotted earlier. Tang Song had given her a Swarovski bracelet before, and she had been thinking about giving him something in return. She had noticed it while shopping with a friend. But previously, she really didn’t have the money, so she didn’t buy it. Now, for some reason, she felt a strong urge to buy it and give it to him. After finishing her makeup and hair, He Liting smiled, “Qianqian, you haven’t bought clothes for two months. The seasonal clothes you have are still from last year. This time at Liyuan Mall, it’s the perfect opportunity to pick out a new outfit for yourself. The store we often visit has a May Day promotion, with significant discounts.” “We’ll see,” Zhao Yaqian replied absentmindedly as she put on the chosen clothes. A grey, fitted turtleneck shirt, loose jeans, black and white sneakers. She had a great figure, and even ordinary outfits looked sexy and beautiful on her. They took their bags and walked downstairs, out of the community, along Shady Path. Liyuan Mall was less than a kilometer away, just a ten-minute walk. He Liting noticed Zhao Yaqian’s unusual demeanor and tried to cheer her up by talking about amusing incidents at her company. Her distant cousin was usually carefree and had a bit of a tough personality. Even when faced with difficulties, she would laugh and cry, and it would pass, but she had never been this downcast and despondent, which worried her. Following the surging crowd, they entered the mall. Zhao Yaqian headed straight for the southeast corner of the first floor with a clear goal. He Liting blinked in surprise and quickly followed her. Entering the Citizen counter, Zhao Yaqian’s eyes scanned across the well-lit display case, checking out the various wristwatches. He Liting asked curiously, “Qianqian, what made you think of buying a wristwatch?” “It’s for someone,” Zhao Yaqian asked the salesperson directly, “Hello, I had my eye on a man’s wristwatch before. I don’t remember the model, but it was here, with a date display, priced at 899 yuan. Why can’t I see it in the case now?” The saleswoman smiled and said, “I’m sorry, miss, but that watch was on special discount, available in only one or two pieces and has already been sold out.” Zhao Yaqian’s expression paused, her eyes reddening, she whispered softly, “How could it be sold out?” He Liting, standing beside her, with a glitter in her eyes, said, “Qianqian, you were buying the watch to give to that programmer friend, right? Since it’s out of stock, let’s forget it for now, and you can buy it during the next sale.” “I’ll look a bit more,” Zhao Yaqian pursed her lips, leaned forward, and continued to browse the selection. Finally taking a deep breath, she pointed to one of the watches and said, “I’ll look at this one.” The saleswoman took out the watch, handed it to her, and said enthusiastically, “This is our hot-selling model this year, a 40mm mechanical wristwatch with toughened glass, stainless steel case, and calf leather strap. It also has a date display, and the price is 1099 yuan, very suitable.” He Liting quickly tugged at her arm, giving her a meaningful look. Still in debt, buying such an expensive gift as a return for the earrings just doesn’t seem right. Zhao Yaqian inspected it carefully, then tried it on her wrist, took a deep breath, and said, “This one will do, please wrap it up in a gift box for me.” “Alright, miss, you’ve got a great taste!” He Liting opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. “Beep—” After paying the 1099 yuan. Zhao Yaqian relaxed completely, her face breaking into a happy smile as she lovingly admired the exquisite black gift bag in her hand. For some reason, she just felt extremely uneasy if she didn’t do something. ... YJHT, large flat. Tian Jing walked through the front door carrying bags big and small. Sitting in the living room, her father Tian Chengye called out to her, “Jingjing, come over here, I have something to tell you.” Tian Jing, with a spring in her step, walked over playfully and asked, “What’s up, Tian?” “Jinxiu Commerce’s new board of directors has been elected. The first board meeting will be held next Thursday, right after the May Day holiday is over.” Hearing it was about work, Tian Jing’s smile immediately vanished, “Dad, I’ve been busy for so long, finally got a holiday, and now you, a shareholder, are assigning me more work, it’s so annoying!” Tian Chengye, disregarding his daughter’s complaints, sipped his tea and smiled, “This meeting will completely revamp the company’s development strategy. Jinxiu Commerce is also going to have a reshuffle of personnel, and you, as the compensation director...” After he finally paused, Tian Jing quickly stood up, saying loudly, “Dad, I’ve got everything you said, bye.” With that, she grabbed her shopping bags and dashed into her room. “Bang!” The door slammed shut and was locked. Tian Jing tossed the shopping bags onto the bed, pulling out an elegant watch box. She opened it to take a closer look, a satisfied smile crossing her face. Longines fashion series men’s watch, blending business and fashion elements, minimalist style, elegant and refined, all stainless steel, waterproof. At a tad over ten thousand yuan, the price wasn’t too steep, Originally, she just wanted to buy a casual men’s bracelet, using the opportunity to help him wear it to suggest reading his palm. But she couldn’t find anything satisfying; after all, his hands were so beautiful, nothing subpar would match them. In the end, she went straight for something good-looking. Next, she took out a white dress from another shopping bag, Burberry’s new little party dress, very beautiful. Clutching the dress, she fell onto the light pink, large round bed, her mind on the hands of the guy she was going to meet today... A while later, she rolled around on the soft bed, stood up barefoot on the carpet by the bed. The rustle of undressing ensued. Her glowing white skin brightened the bedroom a few shades. Holding the white dress in front of her, she twirled several times in front of the full-length mirror, looking really pretty. She tiptoed, humming a tune into the bathroom to start her bath, skincare routine, and makeup.
