8: Chapter 8 Li Xue Gradually Falls into Sorrow

Jiang Jing found Li Xue's expression somewhat amusing, wondering what this girl was thinking about.

"What is it? Tell me."

"You… you…" Li Xue's expression was very conflicted. She stammered for a long time, still stuck on "you." If one looked closely, they could see her body trembling slightly—a sign of nervousness.

If someone had told Li Xue before that she would be nervous in front of a guy, she would have laughed her head off: "How is that possible? It's always been guys who get nervous in front of me, never the other way around!"

Now, Li Xue was indeed nervous. After all, Jiang Jing fit every one of her criteria for a partner, and he was so generous with his spending on her. If Jiang Jing had no interest in her and was just burning money because he was rich, Li Xue would truly have a mental breakdown.

It would feel like the pain of a mountain of gold disappearing right before her eyes.

However, asking Jiang Jing directly, "Are you trying to pursue me?" was something Li Xue couldn't quite bring herself to say. She choked at the critical moment…

Jiang Jing watched Li Xue's conflicted little expression, smiled, and didn't say anything, simply taking her hand and walking into the store.

"Hello, sir and madam, welcome to Vacheron Constantin. Do you have a specific watch in mind?"

The saleswoman saw the many luxury shopping bags in their hands and knew they were definitely potential customers, so she began her pitch.

Jiang Jing asked her directly: "What is the best watch currently in your store?"

Upon hearing this, the saleswoman's eyes instantly lit up.

"Sir, please come to the private room, and we will give you a detailed introduction."

Jiang Jing and Li Xue followed the saleswoman into a private room. Such high-end luxury watch stores placed great importance on customer privacy. Someone like Jiang Jing, who asked what the best watch was right off the bat, was likely a wealthy tycoon who didn't care about money, making a deal very easy to close.

The saleswoman invited them to sit, served snacks and coffee, and then said: "Sir, the best watch in our store is the Vacheron Constantin 4500V/210R-B705, priced at four million yuan. This watch belongs to the Overseas collection and features a unique design and exceptional craftsmanship. The entire watch uses…"

Just as the saleswoman was preparing to introduce the details of the watch to Jiang Jing, he cut her off: "No need for all that trouble. Just take me to see it."

The saleswoman nodded with a smile and led them to the display counter to show them the finished product.

Jiang Jing looked at its gorgeous appearance, didn't linger, and stated directly: "Alright, this is the one. Wrap it up for me."

The saleswoman had thought she would need to spend some time introducing it, but she didn't expect that it would only take a few minutes from seeing the watch to deciding to buy it.

After the shock, she immediately regained her composure and said with a beaming smile: "Sir, please follow me."

They quickly returned to the private room, where the manager, who had been notified in advance, was already waiting. Beside them was a waiter in a black suit carrying a coded watch winder.

The manager took the watch winder, entered the code to open it, and Jiang Jing saw the four-million-yuan watch lying quietly inside.

It was very handsome!

"Sir, would you like me to have you try it on?"

Jiang Jing nodded and extended his hand. The manager put on gloves and personally adjusted the size for him; with his experienced eye, he could tell the size of Jiang Jing's wrist at a glance.

Jiang Jing raised his hand to take a look, was very satisfied, and took out his card: "Swipe the card!"

Li Xue was captivated by Jiang Jing's domineering manner. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he seemed. Wasn't there a saying: a man is most handsome when paying!

(Speechless…)

The manager also smiled upon hearing this and hurriedly handled the paperwork. As the sound of a successful payment rang out, the manager's heart completely settled.

Jiang Jing caught a glimpse of Li Xue beside him, her eyes filled with little hearts. He couldn't forget this high-quality tool person.

So he said to the manager: "Help her find a women's watch that suits her. Price doesn't matter!"

The manager was all smiles upon hearing this and scurried off to get the watch, thinking that this commission was guaranteed to be huge!

Upon hearing Jiang Jing's words, Li Xue waved her hands repeatedly: "Brother, you are truly too good to me. You don't need to buy me another one. I already felt bad enough accepting that 600,000 yuan bag just now…"

The saleswoman nearby listened to Li Xue's humblebrag, her eyes widening. The envy and jealousy in her eyes seemed to turn into tangible flames, ready to burn Li Xue to ashes.

The saleswoman screamed internally: What did you just say!!

Listen to that, is that something a human would say! Just gave a 600,000 yuan bag! And now wants to give a watch too!!

Why haven't I met a boyfriend like this!

The only thing the saleswoman wanted to do was kick Li Xue away and take her place.

But seeing Li Xue, who was as pretty as a celebrity, the saleswoman had enough self-awareness to extinguish the thought in her mind.

Even though she was quite attractive herself, she still paled in comparison to Li Xue's top-tier beauty.

The manager quickly brought over a watch. Its pink exterior, accented with sparkling diamonds, made it impossible for Li Xue to look away.

Jiang Jing didn't say a word and swiped his card directly!

With a beep, the transaction was successful.

The watch cost 2.1 million. Li Xue's favorability was 47. 5x cashback meant a full 10.5 million, equivalent to an hour of hard work yesterday.

Jiang Jing was very satisfied. He pulled Li Xue's little hand over and put the watch on her, then finished adjusting the size with the manager's guidance.

Li Xue stared blankly at the watch on her wrist. A 2.1 million yuan watch was just sitting there on her hand; it felt like an unreal dream.

Looking at Jiang Jing as he adjusted the watch for her, his handsome face struck Li Xue's heart like a bolt of lightning.

Li Xue admitted she was materialistic and a fan of good looks. Ask yourself, what girl doesn't like a tall, rich, and handsome guy? What guy doesn't like a fair, rich, and beautiful woman?

A handsome guy is willing to spend millions buying things for you without making any excessive demands—if this isn't love, what is? Is he crazy?

Although Jiang Jing didn't say any sweet nothings to Li Xue, his actual actions better reflected his intentions.

Li Xue's little head had already concocted a whole drama series: Jiang Jing had a crush on her during their student days but never confessed. Now that he had achieved great success, the love buried deep in his heart drove him to find her, approaching her by hiring her as a gaming companion. Being clumsy with words, he was using all these actions to prove his love for her!

I have to say, this beauty's imagination was extremely rich. If Jiang Jing knew what she was imagining, he would definitely applaud her.

Jiang Jing, having finished putting the watch on Li Xue, was very satisfied to hear of the sudden increase in Li Xue's favorability.

He looked up at Li Xue and saw the school beauty looking flushed and radiant, her little face rosy. Her beautiful large eyes shimmered with a dazed look, and the corners of her mouth curling up from time to time proved she was in a very good mood.

A young girl's blush is better than any sweet talk. Combined with her 93-point beauty, Jiang Jing couldn't help but reach out and stroke Li Xue's cheek.

It was smooth and tender, full of collagen.

Although he didn't know why Li Xue's favorability had increased so much, facts proved that paving the way with money was still very effective.

The sensation on her face pulled Li Xue's thoughts back. Seeing Jiang Jing's intimate action, not only did Li Xue not stop him, but she instead raised her hand to grasp Jiang Jing's, and, with a hint of shyness, pressed her face against his palm.

Her large, doll-like eyes blinked at Jiang Jing.
