976 My Woman (1/2)
”I want to take a look at this watch,” Qianqian requested.
”Okay.” The salesperson unlocked the display case as he tried to contain his excitement.
But Lu Yan suddenly spoke up. ”There's no need.”
Lu Yan rejected her.
Qianqian was stunned. ”Da Shan, don't you like this watch?”
”I don't like it.”
After saying that, Lu Yan turned around and left.
…
Lu Yan went outside the mall, slumping against the car while he waited outside.
Delia walked over, patting his shoulder. ”Why did you reject Qianqian when she wanted to buy you a watch? As long as you are full, who cares if you're depending on a woman?”
Lu Yan revealed a wry smile. ”I'd rather stay hungry than depend on a woman.”
”You have a backbone! I like it.” Delia complimented him before taking out two stacks of notes. ”This is your salary for the month. Take it.”
Lu Yan counted out forty from the stack of cash. There was some extra in the stack and he returned it to Delia. ”4000 dollars, that's all I'll take.”
He didn't want to take the extra money.
Delia raised his brows, taking the notes back. ”What are you going to buy with your first paycheck?”
”I'm not sure yet.”
Lu Yan really had no idea. He used to be the overlord of the Capital and was so wealthy, he didn't even have to bring cash out with him.
He had spent the past three years in the mountains with the children, though he wasn't that well off, he could survive since he was living alone. As time passed, he didn't even know where and how to spend his money.
It was really his first time receiving a paycheck.
”If you have a woman you fancy, go buy her some jewelry and accessories. All women love it.” Delia gave him an idea.
Really?
The corners of his lips kicked up with an inexplicable gentleness.
…
In the mall.
The salesperson was having a conversation with his colleague. ”I just had a poor customer, a beauty wanted to gift him with a limited edition watch and he pretended he didn't want it. What a poser.”
Right after he said that, he heard some sounds. Knock knock.
The salesperson turned behind to look. Lu Yan had returned with one hand in his pocket, the other was knocking on the display glass. He lifted his eyes, giving the salesperson an impassive glance with those deep-set eyes.
The salesperson's face blanched, that one glance almost made his hair stand on end.
”Mi-Mister, what are you looking for?” the salesperson stammered.
Lu Yan averted his eyes, his gaze landing attracted by a certain lipstick.
It was a bright red color that stood out.
”How much is this?” he asked.
”Mister, this lipstick's case is made of 18K pure gold, with the lipstick being handmade. The retail price is 3999.”
3999.
He had just received his paycheck of 4000 dollars.
”Okay, I'll get this. Wrap it up for me.”
”Yes, Mister.”
…
In the luxury car, Lu Yan drove the car while Delia had some stuff to handle and had left first. There was only An'an and Qianqian left in the car with him.
An'an sat in the back seat while Qianqian sat in the passenger's seat.
”Da Shan, my brother told me you just received your paycheck of 4000 dollars. Why don't you treat me to supper?”
Lu Yan had both hands on the steering wheel, he didn't even look at Qianqian while he replied, ”I only have a dollar left in my pocket.”
