When Ji Yue came out from backstage, he saw three girls standing in front of the counter, pointing at a watch and praising it.
"I love it! But it's so expensive." Jiang Yuqin sighed, "A poor wretch like me can only look at it and admire it from afar. I can never afford it in this lifetime."
Ye Nian glanced at Jiang Yuqin and mimicked the caption Qin Xue had used in her WeChat Moments: "Actually, I think the price is a minor issue. This one is so beautiful and has great collectible value."
Jiang Duoduo turned to look at Ye Nian, and wondered why Ye Nian seemed to have a certain taste in his speech now.
In the past, she would never have uttered the words "it has collectible value." She would have simply said it looked beautiful, and then, like a nouveau riche, had the sales assistant wrap it up for her and bought it.
Jiang Duoduo was staring blankly at Ye Nian.
The saleswomen standing near Ji Yue recognized Jiang Duoduo and whispered among themselves, "Isn't that Jiang Duoduo? She's so beautiful!"
"It's definitely her! I just saw the trending topics saying she was shopping here, I thought it was fake! Wow! Look at her skin, it's absolutely amazing, full of collagen, youth is so great, and her features are so delicate. No wonder she got into EE-Media!"
"Huh? I remember she came in with Young Master Ji just now, right?" The receptionist looked at Ji Yue and said, "Holy crap! Look at the way Young Master Ji looks at Jiang Duoduo, that affectionate gaze...aren't they a couple?"
"They're definitely a couple!"
...
Their gossip reached Ji Yue's ears, and he suddenly felt less averse to others' comments about him.
He smiled slightly and walked towards Duoduo.
Do you like it?
The male voice coming from behind was magnetic and exceptionally pleasant to listen to, carrying a hint of joy.
Ye Nian kept talking, and she turned slightly to the side, naturally assuming that Ji Yue was asking her a question. She blushed and said, "I like it!"
But... you can't hide the look in someone's eyes when you like them.
Ye Nian could tell from Ji Yue's eyes that he wasn't talking to her, but to Jiang Duoduo.
Even though Jiang Duoduo didn't even turn around to look at him.
The blush on her face faded, and she could only pretend that nothing had happened, nudging Jiang Duoduo's shoulder, "Duoduo, Ji Yue is asking you a question."
"Huh?" Jiang Duoduo looked at them. "What are you asking me?"
"Ji Yue asked if you like this watch." Ye Nian's face darkened completely.
Jiang Duoduo frankly said, "I'm not very interested in watches."
"Not interested?" Ji Yue's eyes were full of tenderness. "That won't stop me from giving it to you."
"No! No! Why are you giving this to me?"
Jiang Duoduo refused quickly. She had already received gifts from Ji Yue and Gu Yan for Ye Nian's birthday, and she hadn't even found a chance to return the favor. Why was Ji Yue giving her a gift again?
Ji Yue took a step towards the counter, his thin lips parting slightly as he said, "Because you glanced at it a couple more times."
These words elicited excited exclamations from the whispering counter staff: "Wow! This is so sweet! So indulgent!"
"If someone said that to me, I'd marry them on the spot!"
"Wake up! Wake up! Do you really think there are so many blind men on white horses in the world?"
...
Ji Yue waved to the saleswoman and pointed to the watch, "Could you please pack this one up?"
Jiang Yuqin was completely captivated by Ji Yue and whispered in Duoduo's ear, "Duoduo, you are so lucky!"
However, the woman spoiled the mood, saying, "Happiness? If I really wanted it, I could buy it myself."
Of course, this did not stop Ji Yue from continuing to pamper her.
