Chapter 67 - Reminded Of Me (2/2)
Unable to contain her smile any longer, Ke Liuyi commented, “He has good taste.”
“He does,” He Lei agreed. He selected a watch and placed it on her wrist. “This is a classic model, worth two million yuan. Not only is it an attractive design, its value is likely to increase in the future. The young master has one of his own. It’s an investment of sorts–after all, the young master is not a man to suffer losses.”
“It is beautiful.” The watch’s mechanism resembled a constellation of stars. Jiang Shaocheng had such a watch too? Didn’t that make this a couple’s set of jewelry?
Just then, Jiang Shaocheng came downstairs with Tang Qiu, who scanned the items piled on the sofa and table. Thinking Ke Liuyi had bought them all, she asked, “Shall I help you organize your things, Doctor Ke?”
“It’s alright.” Ke Liuyi’s smile was warm, but her eyes were filled with a serpent’s delight.
He Lei lifted Ke Liuyi’s wrist so Tang Qiu could see it. “Do you like this watch, Young Mistress?”
Tang Qiu smiled and nodded. “It’s lovely.”
“It’ll look better on you,” He Lei said ingratiatingly. “Please try it on, Young Mistress.”
“But… isn’t the watch…”?Mine??Ke Liuyi stared at He Lei, flummoxed.
He Lei didn’t spare her a glance. He removed the watch from Ke Liuyi’s wrist and handed it to Tang Qiu. “This watch was bought on sale, Young Mistress. It cost less than a hundred yuan. The young master said that you don’t have a watch of your own, so he bought one for you.”
Ke Liuyi gaped in disbelief. Wasn’t that watch worth two million yuan?
On her part, Tang Qiu was no less surprised. “But that watch belongs to Doctor Ke.”
“Says who? She was just helping you try it on to see how it looks.” He Lei offered the watch to Jiang Shaocheng like a supplicant paying tribute. “Why don’t you help the young mistress wear it, Young Master?” There was a silent plea in his eyes:?Don’t be angry, Young Master. I harbor no intentions towards the young mistress.
Jiang Shaocheng accepted the watch and helped Tang Qiu don it. The platinum looked stunning against her fair skin and around her slender wrist. Just as he had expected. “It’s yours, Qiu.”
Tang Qiu thought it was gorgeous too, but her instincts made her say, “I have a phone. I don’t need a watch to tell time. You shouldn’t spend money on my behalf.”
“Okay, I understand.” Jiang Shaocheng pinched her cheeks. “Nevertheless, it’s yours. I gave it to you so that you’ll be reminded of me whenever you look at it.”
