Chapter 460 - Touched (2/2)
Xiao Luo frowned. His intentions were genuine, but they were being taken for granted and even ridiculed. Su Li did not appreciate his efforts, so he did not see the point in helping and thought it best to forget the matter.
Su Li suddenly realized that her words were too harsh, so she quickly added, “I can handle it. Even if I can’t, the worst scenario is to just retire from showbiz.”
“Okay then, I shall excuse myself.”
Xiao Luo patted Su Xiaobei’s head affectionately and got up to leave.
“Wait.”
What’s wrong?”
“Give me a minute.”
Su Li stood up and walked into her bedroom.
“Daddy, come…”
Su Xiaobei gestured to Xiao Luo to put his ears close to her mouth.
Xiao Luo was quite amused, so he bent over and drew close to her.
“Mommy bought a gift for you yesterday,” the little girl whispered.
“A gift?”
Xiao Luo was pleasantly surprised. “What did she buy for me?” he asked.
Su Xiaobei shook her head, “I don’t know, Mommy left it on a very high place and Beibei could not reach it even on tiptoes.”
It did not take too long for Su Li to come down, and she had a small bag in her hands. She stood before Xiao Luo looking rather uncomfortable and spoke curtly. “For you,” she said.
“What is it?” Xiao Luo asked.
“You’ll know when you open it at home,” Su Li muttered.
“I like to open it before the person who gave me the gift.”
Xiao Luo promptly took out the box and placed it on the table. He opened it and discovered that it was a black men’s watch. It was a black-strapped watch with a white casing, and the dials were embedded with diamonds.
It was from the Swiss-made Omega Constellation Series collection!
Xiao Luo was shocked as this watch cost at least two hundred thousand. Although Su Li was wealthy, and this was nothing much to her, her thought of buying such a luxurious gift meant a lot to him. No mature man could resist a good watch, and that went for Xiao Luo as well. He was quite touched when he saw the watch.
“Didn’t I tell you to open it after you go back?”
Su Li was a little flustered for when she had checked before, giving watches to a man carried a hidden meaning of expressing one’s love.
Xiao Luo smiled. “Does it matter?” he said.
“It does.”
Su Li retorted and turned away as she came up with a silly justification for the gift. “Don’t get the wrong idea, you saved me and this is my token of appreciation.”
Xiao Luo did not speak and continued to examine the watch in great detail. The more he looked at it, the more he was in love with this watch as it was man’s nature to covet classy things.
“Daddy, wear it now, it’ll look fantastic on you,” Su Xiaobei said.
“Okay.”
Xiao Luo was not a sentimental person, so he put on the watch immediately.
Su Li took a fleeting glance at him and felt relieved. She was glad it was the correct size. It looked great on him and undoubtedly made him look classier.
Of course, she did not buy this watch for Xiao Luo to thank him for saving her. She only wanted this man to have a decent watch he could wear with pride.
