41: Chapter 41 Why don't you come stay at my place?
At this moment, the mall customers were gradually leaving, and inside the Rolex store, there was only one Young Miss sales assistant waiting listlessly to get off work.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps at the entrance broke the silence.
Qin Yi and Xu Qian walked into the store hand in hand.
Although the Young Miss sales assistant looked a bit tired, her professionalism made her instantly brim with energy, and she greeted them enthusiastically with a brilliant smile on her Face.
"Welcome to the Rolex store, distinguished sir and beautiful lady, how may I be of service to you?"
Qin Yi looked around the store, his gaze revealing a hint of pickiness, and he said straightforwardly: "Bring out a few of your most expensive watches, I want to take a look."
The Young Miss sales assistant was slightly stunned, clearly not expecting this customer to be so direct; she blinked and asked again: "Uh, excuse me, sir, what did you just say?"
"I said, bring out a few of the most expensive watches in your store, I want to take a look! The mall is closing soon, let's save some time!"
After the Young Miss sales assistant confirmed she hadn't misheard, she quickly resumed her professional smile: "Certainly, sir. I will prepare them for you right away."
She walked quickly toward the counter with a hint of excitement and nervousness on her Face.
She carefully opened the display case, took out the most expensive watches in the store one by one, and placed them neatly on a tray like works of art.
"Sir, Miss, please take a look; these are the most expensive watches we currently have in the store." The Young Miss sales assistant introduced them respectfully.
Qin Yi held Xu Qian's hand and leaned in to examine them closely.
The Young Miss sales assistant pointed to the watches on the tray and began to introduce them in detail.
Whenever she introduced the unique features of a watch, Qin Yi would nod slightly and exchange glances with Xu Qian. The tacit understanding and intimacy flowing between the two of them were truly like that of a couple.
"This is the Green Gold Daytona, Universe Cosmograph Daytona series m116508-0013. The case is crafted from 18K gold, which is very luxurious and imposing. It is also a classic Rolex model. The price of this watch on the secondary market has already reached over 600,000, but in our store, you only need to pay 580,000 yuan."
Qin Yi nodded slightly; this was the exact model his father used to wear.
It was just that when it was bought on Hong Kong Island back then, it was only a little over 300,000. He didn't expect that in just a few years, it had nearly doubled in price!
Seeing that Qin Yi seemed quite interested in this watch, the Young Miss sales assistant was secretly delighted.
She paused and continued to introduce the other two watches.
"This one is the Oyster Perpetual series, 86348SAJOR. The case is made of 18k Everose gold, and the dial is inlaid with 48 square-cut gemstones in gradient tones, which is very dazzling. The price is only 588,900 yuan."
Qin Yi looked at the slightly small dial and asked: "This one is for ladies, right?"
"Yes, sir. This watch should match your girlfriend quite well."
The Young Miss sales assistant looked at Xu Qian with a smile and continued: "Miss, would you like to try it on?"
Xu Qian wanted to wave her hand and refuse, but Qin Yi said: "Try it on!"
Xu Qian felt a bit embarrassed, but since Young Master Qin had spoken, she didn't want to disrespect Young Master Qin's Face in front of outsiders, so she nodded slightly and replied: "Uh... well, all right..."
The Young Miss sales assistant carefully took Xu Qian's hand, adjusted the watch strap, and put it on Xu Qian's wrist.
"Miss, this watch matches you perfectly. This color makes your skin tone look even brighter."
While the Young Miss sales assistant spared no effort to praise how good it looked, she did not forget to pay attention to Qin Yi's expression.
Qin Yi also nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile: "Mm, it's quite good. Don't take it off, just wear it!"
"Ah... this, this isn't appropriate, is it?"
Xu Qian was a little flustered. Today, she had already received quite a few gifts from Young Master Qin; the Chanel skincare products, bags, dresses, and shoes already amounted to nearly 200,000. This watch was another 600,000. These gifts, totaling nearly 800,000, were truly too valuable.
Qin Yi smiled, took Xu Qian's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "There is nothing inappropriate about it. It's just a watch, consider it to calm your shock."
"But this is too valuable... and I don't have the habit of wearing a watch."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it after wearing it for a while. If you feel embarrassed, just buy me a gift when your bonus comes out later, wouldn't that be fine?"
Qin Yi had previously obtained a 'Counter-Attack Rebate Card for Opposite-Sex Consumption', so when Xu Qian spent money to buy him a gift later, he might be able to earn quite a bit more from another rebate card.
Since Young Master Qin had said so, she couldn't refuse anymore. Thinking that she would have over seven million in commissions at the end of the month, plus the one million bonus from her boss, buying a decent gift for Young Master Qin should not be a problem.
Thus, Xu Qian accepted it with joy.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the Young Miss sales assistant felt envious again.
Qin Yi then looked at the last watch and asked: "What about this one?"
The Young Miss sales assistant hurriedly continued to introduce: "Oh, this one is the Rainbow Daytona, Universe Cosmograph Daytona series 116599 RBOW watch. It's 18k white gold, and both the dial and the strap are fully diamond-encrusted. The secondary market price has been hyped up to two million, but in our store, you only need to pay 1,510,700 yuan."
"Mm, the style is quite fashionable. Are these the only three most expensive watches in your store?"
The Young Miss sales assistant couldn't tell if Qin Yi was satisfied or not, so she explained: "Other stores might have more expensive ones. However, it's a bit late today. If you need it, sir, you can leave a business card or add me on WeChat, and I will contact you tomorrow..."
"Forget it, I have things to do tomorrow, I'll just take these three!"
Qin Yi had to return to Jingnan tomorrow and didn't have time to wait.
The Young Miss sales assistant was a bit shocked. What did he mean by just these three? He wanted them all?
"Uh... does the sir mean, you want all three of these?"
"Mm, that's right, I want all of them. Wrap them up!"
"Oh, okay sir. I will process it for you right away!"
The Young Miss sales assistant was so happy she didn't know what to do; who would have thought that such a big deal would come right before getting off work...
Five minutes later, Qin Yi paid by card. For the three Rolex watches, the total consumption was 2,679,600 yuan.
Immediately after, Qin Yi and Xu Qian rushed to buy four of the latest Huawei phones in the last ten minutes before the mall closed, spending another 43,996 yuan.
Then, Qin Yi and Xu Qian walked hand in hand, under the envious gazes of the sales assistants, and took the escalator down to the first floor of the underground garage.
...
The two sat in the car, and Qin Yi took the initiative to fasten the seatbelt for Xu Qian.
However, during this seemingly ordinary action, Qin Yi's arm, whether intentionally or unintentionally, gently brushed against the softness on Xu Qian's chest.
That touch was like a feather brushing against her skin, making Xu Qian blush instantly like a startled little rabbit, and the look she gave Qin Yi became hazy and blurred.
The air inside the car seemed to have frozen, filled with an indescribable atmosphere.
The sound of the two people's heartbeats echoed in the silent car, like a silent musical score, playing the ripples in each other's hearts.
Qin Yi gazed deeply at Xu Qian.
The blush on her cheeks was like a streak of crimson in the sunset, appearing exceptionally alluring.
Qin Yi tried hard to suppress the impulses in his heart, but his seemingly uncontrollable, rolling Adam's apple still exposed his nervousness and desire at that moment.
Restraint, keep restraining...
Unfortunately...
He didn't restrain himself!
Just because, at this critical moment, Xu Qian actually closed her eyes voluntarily, and her alluring red lips parted slightly, as if waiting for something.
This action by Xu Qian made Qin Yi's heartbeat accelerate a few more beats; he knew he could no longer control himself.
Moreover, since Xu Qian had already given such a hint, how could Qin Yi retreat?
So, he summoned his courage and reached out to the distance that made his heart flutter.
For a moment, the distance between the two seemed to become zero...
The air was filled with an even stronger atmosphere of uncertainty intertwined with anticipation.
...
I don't know how much time passed, but a few car horn sounds broke this romantic moment.
The two separated as if waking from a dream. Xu Qian's neck and ears were stained with a blush, while Qin Yi coughed a few times, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
The car slowly drove out of the underground parking lot of the International Finance Center.
Xu Qian secretly looked at Qin Yi's profile, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.
She took a deep breath, as if she had gathered all her courage, and spoke first: "Young Master Qin, it's so late, and the place where I live is quite far. It's too hard for you to drive me back and forth. How about I just take a taxi back?"
Qin Yi turned his head, his gaze falling gently on Xu Qian: "You are a girl, it's not safe to take a taxi so late. I'd better take you back."
Xu Qian was a little disappointed, thinking, are you a dense guy?
At this time, shouldn't you be inviting me to your place to sit for a while?
Or a hotel would be fine too...
She bit her lower lip gently, thinking about what to do, when suddenly a plan came to her mind. She opened her bag and started searching through it.
Afterward, she feigned a troubled look: "Oh my, I was in such a rush when I came out, I think I left my keys at the car dealership."
Qin Yi frowned slightly: "The car dealership should be closed by now, right?"
Xu Qian feigned distress and nodded: "Yeah, they closed such a big deal today, they must have all gone to celebrate."
Qin Yi was silent for a moment, seemingly thinking of a countermeasure.
Subsequently, he looked at Xu Qian, a flash of tenderness in his eyes: "Then, how about finding a hotel nearby to stay for the night?"
Xu Qian lowered her head slightly, her voice carrying a hint of anticipation and testing: "If I stay in a hotel as a girl, would it be unsafe? Besides, I don't think I brought my ID card..."
She secretly observed Qin Yi's reaction, only to see his eyebrows lift slightly, seemingly touched by her hint.
Xu Qian was overjoyed, knowing that her plan had worked.
Qin Yi was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly: "Then... how about you stay at my place for the night? That way it will be safer."
Xu Qian felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, but on the surface, she still maintained a reserved smile: "Then, I will trouble Young Master Qin..."
