"Madam Li, you've arrived!"
When the saleswoman at the department store saw Jiang Jieting, she immediately came out to greet her, "We recently received a batch of new styles, and they're only available in our store. Would you like to take a look?"
Jiang Jieting looked up at the signboard of the department store.
Coincidentally, it was the store in Berlin.
Berlin Jewelry gifting their own products to Li Jingchen's girlfriend, who hasn't been publicly acknowledged yet, is quite a good idea.
Jiang Jieting went inside, and the saleswoman brought over a fruit plate and a special ceramic teacup. After making tea, she got up and brought over several new pieces of jewelry for Jiang Jieting to see.
In fact, Jiang Jieting had seen all of these beforehand at the press conference.
To put it bluntly, the latest models always end up in the hands of upper-class socialites first, and won't enter the market.
They control the trends and directions of the market.
"Would you like me to show you the styles?" the sales assistant asked.
Jiang Jieting waved her hand slightly, "No need."
A whole row of new products were laid out in front of her. Jiang Jieting casually pointed to a string of obsidian earrings at the very edge and said, "Let's take this one. Wrap it up and make it look nice."
The saleswoman was somewhat surprised. These obsidian stud earrings were the least popular style, merely a concept design, and could be considered the worst in terms of both quality and design.
Jiang Jieting actually chose this one...
She dared not show the slightest curiosity, immediately packed her things, and respectfully saw Jiang Jieting off.
Back at the villa, Jiang Jieting casually tossed the gift box onto the sofa.
She instructed the maid, "Put these things away properly. Remember to give them to Jingchen when he comes back. Just say they are a gift I prepared for our first meeting."
The servant did not understand the deeper meaning of these words.
She didn't dare to understand, but she remembered it and put the gift in the storage room.

After Xiaoyue returned with the pot, she went into the kitchen. Song Nuan was busy helping out.
Li Jingchen came out and saw this scene.
The man's eyes narrowed, a barely perceptible danger flashing within them. "Song Nuan, come to the study. I need to talk to you."
Upon hearing the sound, the two turned their heads simultaneously.
He was wearing loungewear today, his short hair was smooth and shiny, completely different from the cold face in a suit that Xiaoyue had seen when she first met him; his temperament was much gentler now.
Xiaoyue couldn't help but steal glances at him.
She thought she had hidden it well and was hard to detect, but in fact she hadn't escaped Li Jingchen's sight at all.
He frowned slightly, gave her a cold look, and then pulled Song Nuan away.
Xiaoyue felt her feet go cold from the look he gave her as he left.
The study door slammed shut.
With her hand on his chest, Song Nuan frowned. "What is it?"
"Why did you call her back?" His voice was deep, and it wasn't hard to tell he was in a bad mood. "Don't you know she likes me? You deliberately let a wolf into the house, don't you care at all?"
"She likes you, do you like her?" Song Nuan asked.
Li Jingchen stared at her for a long time, then suddenly let out a slow laugh.
They then released Song Nuan from her restraints.
"I called her here because it's important. It's true that she likes you. Since you know that, don't provoke her. As long as you keep yourself pure, there won't be any problems."
"Keeping oneself clean?"
He laughed; this woman was really getting better and better at distorting the truth.
When has he ever failed to maintain his moral integrity?
As if she could read his mind, Song Nuan said calmly, "Who seduced me at the club? Do I need to remind you?"
Li Jingchen curled his lips, his cool fingertips lifting her chin, "I'll give in on other things for now, but if you dare bring another woman into my life..."
"how?"
Is it any kind of justice to forbid her from having contact with men and to prevent her from inviting female friends home?
"Not very good."
Although I was angry, there was nothing I could do about it.
The fact that he invited a woman who liked him to his home and she wasn't jealous at all only proves that she doesn't care at all, and not caring means that she doesn't have him in her heart.
The more Li Jingchen thought about it, the worse his mood became.
"It's fine to keep yourself clean, but I'm going to sleep in the master bedroom tonight," he said.
Song Nuan: "?"
"No way," she refused. They had already broken up; what kind of logic was it for them to sleep in the same bed?
I am informing you, not begging you.
That's utterly absurd.
Song Nuan looked at him with a stern face, "I'm also telling you that you don't have the right to sleep in the master bedroom. I paid the rent, that's my territory, and I don't agree to it. If you force your way in, I'll sue you."
He drawled out an "oh" in a casual tone, showing no sign of being threatened.
He took out his phone and sent a voice message to Lin Xuan: "I'll give you half a day to find the villa owner. No matter how much it costs, you have to buy it. I want to see my name on the property certificate before 10 p.m. tonight."
Song Nuan: "..."
Oh.
She sneered inwardly, realizing for the first time that she resented the rich. "So what if you're rich?"
"What do you think?" the man asked, raising an eyebrow.
Song Nuan's face turned green, then black, then red, and she glared at him fiercely, "Just one night!"
The deal was done, and she slammed the door and left.
Within minutes, Song Nuan came out and her expression changed. Even though she tried her best to hide it, Xiao Yue could still tell that something was wrong.
"Sister Song Nuan, did you two have a fight?"
"No."
Her face was sour. Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and didn't ask any more questions. Before long, the dishes and bowls were prepared and the table was full of food, which was very plentiful.
Song Nuan and Xiao Yue sat facing each other.
When Song Nuan started eating, Xiao Yue hesitated, observing Song Nuan's expression, and swallowed her words.
Song Nuan knew what she wanted to ask. While she was cooking the beef slices, she looked back at the study four times. There was no one else in the study except Li Jingchen.
“Xiaoyue,” Song Nuan suddenly called out.
"Huh?" She turned around abruptly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. "What's wrong?"
Song Nuan smiled slightly, trying to ease her tension, "It's nothing. I just met a girl at your school the other day named Windsor. Do you know her?"
“Windsor?” Xiaoyue’s mouth formed an “O” shape. “Of course I know her. She’s the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Although she’s very low-key, she’s very powerful. Even Ouyang Chengyi wouldn’t dare to provoke her easily.”
He has such a high status?
Ouyang Zhoujing's words of reminder faintly echoed in her ears again.
"Who is she?"
Xiaoyue shook her head. "I don't know. I only know that her family is very powerful. They say it's on par with Ouyang Chengyi's family. Moreover, she has good grades and does very few bad things, unlike Ouyang Chengyi. So everyone respects her from the bottom of their hearts."
Song Nuan gave a knowing "oh," then casually asked, "If that's the case, why did Ouyang Chengyi still dare to fight with her?"
Xiaoyue was stunned after hearing this.
After a few seconds of lag, she suddenly realized something, "Sister Song Nuan, you wouldn't happen to be the only eyewitness to their fight that day, would you?"
Song Nuan did not deny it.
Xiaoyue's shock was written all over her face.
Song Nuan found it amusing and didn't understand what was so shocking about it; she was just joining in the fun.
“Ouyang Chengyi received a major demerit from the school because of this incident, and she may not be able to graduate and will have to postpone her graduation. Surprisingly, she didn’t cause you any trouble.”
After saying that, she realized her mistake and shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly, "Sister Song Nuan, that's not what I meant..."
