42: Chapter 42 Omega Million-Dollar Watches

Hearing this, Wang Biao truly felt a bit hesitant!

After all, this was all the money he had; if he spent most of it...

For a long time afterward, he wouldn't be able to afford extra eggs or ham sausages with his fried rice.

Plus, he still had several months of Jiebei loans to pay back.

He didn't know the other guy's situation, but he certainly knew his own!

He turned, preparing to suggest a different bet to Li Luo that would be better for both of them, but before he could speak—

He was nearly fuming with rage at what the other man said.

Seeing him hesitate, Li Luo decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Are you just incompetent? If you can't handle it, then get lost. Just pretend I never said anything and don't stay here being an eyesore."

Wang Biao's temper flared instantly.

"Who are you calling incompetent?"

"You!"

"Who the hell is incompetent? Can a man ever admit he's not up to the task? You're saying I'm not good enough?"

Damn it, just wait and see if I don't put you in your place.

He looked at Pan Xingyue and said indignantly,

"Say no more, just take me there."

After some browsing, Wang Biao picked out a watch worth seventeen thousand.

He had originally wanted to buy something even cheaper.

But after looking around, there weren't any!

Wang Biao's heart was bleeding; it seemed there wasn't a single watch under fifteen thousand!

"I've made my choice, I'll buy this one! Now it's your turn."

He wasn't stupid; he'd let the other guy choose, and then they'd pay together. At worst, both their hearts would bleed.

If the other guy backed out, he wouldn't have to buy it either, and he could have a good laugh at him for trying to act tough.

He had chosen a watch worth over ten thousand.

Ten times that would be hundreds of thousands. Right, the other guy would have to buy a watch worth hundreds of thousands.

How dare he say he wasn't capable?

He'd show him exactly how capable he was.

Thinking this way, it really was killing several birds with one stone!

Pan Xingyue was now in a bit of a difficult position.

She had originally planned to just pay the bill herself, but who knew this guy would suddenly get smart.

Huang Ying had been standing nearby; hearing such a large bet, she also broke into a cold sweat for Li Luo.

Wang Biao urged at this moment,

"Hurry up! I'll leave after the bill is paid. You're not scared, are you? It's fine to back out now—just pay me five thousand and have your girlfriend apologize to me. I'll be generous and let it slide!"

Li Luo gave a wicked smile.

"No problem. Wait a moment, I'll go take a look."

With that, he walked over to the display case.

Pan Xingyue quickly followed and whispered,

"Li Luo, are you crazy? You're really getting into character!"

"What character? I told you before, we have a little game of our own, remember?"

Hearing this, the previously puzzled Pan Xingyue asked,

"What little game? Be more specific."

"Be more specific? Have you forgotten your own words? It was during our last meal together, what I asked you then."

"Last meal?"

Seeing she still hadn't remembered, Li Luo whispered a hint in her ear.

"Mistress."

Instantly, Pan Xingyue's face flushed crimson.

"You mean that!"

Li Luo's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Yeah. Why, do you want to back out?"

"It's not about backing out; I was just joking with you at the time!"

"You were joking, but I certainly wasn't!"

Seeing Li Luo's very serious expression, Pan Xingyue also put away her playful attitude.

She suddenly sighed.

"I don't know what you were thinking back then. Now you suddenly come to buy a watch from me... maybe you really did make a bit of money. Looking at your clothes now, they're all brand names."

"But even if you won five million, it wouldn't be enough for me, you know? You might call me materialistic, but that's just the reality. Five million is barely enough to buy a house in Jiangning. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Don't worry about whether I understand you. Just tell me directly: does what we talked about still count? If not, there's no point in me saying anything more."

Pan Xingyue didn't answer the question, but instead asked,

"Did you come here today specifically to talk to me about this?"

"Yeah, what else did you think?"

Seeing that Li Luo didn't look like he was joking,

To avoid hurting his self-esteem, Pan Xingyue said,

"It counts. As long as you have the strength to back it up, it counts."

Hearing this answer,

Li Luo didn't say anything more. As long as she admitted it, he would just let the facts speak for themselves later.

He pointed at the display case in front of him.

"Take this one out for me to see."

Looking at the watch Li Luo was pointing at, Pan Xingyue was speechless.

"Li Luo, look closely. That one has two extra zeros, and there's no decimal point in front. You're really bold, daring to look at a million-value watch."

Ignoring Pan Xingyue's remark,

"Take it out and let me try it on. If I break it, I'll pay for it. What's the big deal?"

Pan Xingyue rolled her eyes and muttered, "Show-off. He's even more of a poser than that other guy."

"Just for a second! Don't waste time!"

Saying this, she put on white gloves, opened the counter with a key, and carefully took out the watch, which was a top-tier model in the store.

An Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, 007 Rainbow Edition, valued at 1,277,900 huaxia coin.

This watch was specially released to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the 007 film series.

In particular, the diamonds on the bezel shimmered with several different colors.

After Pan Xingyue carefully put it on Li Luo's wrist, she said,

"Be careful! If it gets bumped or scratched anywhere, I'm finished."

Li Luo didn't care; he casually gave it a shake and looked at it in the mirror. It was very nice. He appeared quite nonchalant.

Others might not know the price, but Huang Ying and the other female sales assistants in the store knew it very well.

Seeing Li Luo being so careless, they couldn't help but wipe away their sweat.

Huang Ying had heard that Li Luo came to find Pan Xingyue to buy a watch, so when Li Luo wanted to try on that million-value timepiece, she hadn't said anything.

After all, everyone has a bit of vanity.

But now she couldn't sit still, seeing Li Luo looking in the mirror, shaking his wrist one moment and turning the watch the next.

If it really got bumped or scratched, she wouldn't be able to escape responsibility either.

"Xingyue, that's enough. Hurry up and tell your boyfriend to take it off! Just satisfying his curiosity is enough."

Pan Xingyue heard this.

"Li Luo, keep your movements small and take it off quickly."

"No need, I'll just keep it on. I think it's okay. Bring the POS machine and follow me to swipe my card. I left my card in the car."

Although mobile payment would have been fine, how could he show off his strength to Pan Xingyue that way?

"If you're worried I'll run off, you can come along too." As he spoke, Li Luo glanced at the anxious Wang Biao.

Pan Xingyue shouted in disbelief,

"Li Luo, are you crazy? This watch is almost 1.28 million!"

The onlookers finally broke into a commotion. Although they knew about the bet, they were just watching the show and hadn't taken it seriously at all.

"Are they really going at it? A million-value watch is a hundred times more! Weren't they betting ten times?"

"Which family's tycoon is this? So overbearing."

"Who knows? Maybe he's just acting tough because he's afraid of losing face."

Wang Biao was dazed; he only realized after hearing the crowd. Wasn't it supposed to be hundreds of thousands?

Why did you suddenly set your sights on a million-value watch?
