Inside a square, transparent glass case, a gleaming gold men's watch is placed in an exquisite box. The watchband is made of leather, the entire dial is gold, and the outermost edge is inlaid with sparkling diamonds that shimmer under the light.
Imagining the watch on Shen Yanqing's wrist, Gu Baiwei couldn't help but ask, "Can I see that watch?"
Upon hearing this, the saleswoman immediately perked up: "Of course, of course!"
This gold watch is expensive, and few people inquire about it. If she can sell it today, she will earn more commission than she does selling gold jewelry for a month.
She immediately smiled broadly and said, "Just a moment."
As she spoke, she deftly opened the small cabinet, carefully took out the gold watch with her white-gloved hand, and handed it to Gu Baiwei.
The gold case gleams softly under the light, and paired with a high-quality leather strap, it is very pleasing to the eye.
Gu Baiwei made her decision almost without hesitation: "Please wrap up this watch for me."
I didn't expect her to buy it so readily.
You should know that this watch has been sitting here for several months, and very few people have inquired about it. Even if someone does ask about it, they are deterred by its high price.
The saleswoman stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Miss, this gold watch is a special edition we launched in collaboration with XX high-end brand, priced at over ten thousand. Are you sure you want it?"
For a small county like this, a price of over 100,000 yuan is already considered exorbitant. If it weren't for the fact that film crews would come to the town to shoot from time to time, their shop manager probably wouldn't have put such an expensive gold watch in the shop for sale.
Gu Baiwei nodded firmly. Compared to the necklace Shen Yanqing had given her, this watch was still too cheap.
But this was already the best gift she could buy in town, and she was afraid she wouldn't have time to buy another one when she returned to Linhai City.
Upon hearing the affirmative reply, the saleswoman felt instantly relieved. She quickly packed the gold watch and thoughtfully slipped a greeting card into the gift bag.
Gu Baiwei deftly took out the black card Ye Sinian had given her to pay the bill.
Du Qingyan watched in stunned silence, then rushed over and grabbed Gu Baiwei's arm in a coquettish manner, shaking it: "Sister Weiwei, I don't want to work hard anymore, will you take care of me?"
Gu Baiwei chuckled and pulled the person off her, then pretended to lift her chin: "Hmm, no problem, you go change your personality first."
The two looked at each other and immediately burst into laughter.
As she left with her purchases, the saleswoman looked at Gu Baiwei with sparkling eyes, as if she were looking at a god of wealth.
After leaving the jewelry store, the two strolled around the streets for a while, buying some local specialties to take back as gifts.
By the time the two of them were carrying their bags and packages back, it was almost 8 p.m. The sky was completely dark, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. The two of them subconsciously quickened their pace.
As they approached the hotel, Gu Baiwei suddenly noticed a faint sound of footsteps behind them.
She instinctively turned around to look, only to find the street behind her empty and deserted.
Perhaps she's been too busy lately and misheard.
She shook her head and walked into the hotel with Du Qingyan carrying their things, unaware that a dark figure was standing in the bushes behind her, staring at her back for a long time before slowly turning around and leaving.
The next morning, Gu Baiwei took the earliest flight back to Linhai City, thinking of giving Shen Yanqing a surprise as soon as possible.
Everything went smoothly until she passed through security, when she discovered that the gold watch she had placed in her handbag was missing. Had she misplaced it? She anxiously opened her suitcase and searched everywhere, but she couldn't find it anywhere.
Just then, as if sensing something, she looked up and noticed a tall, thin man dressed in all black in front of her, with a bright gold watch on his wrist.
For some reason, Gu Baiwei felt that the gold watch was exactly the same as the one she had bought.
Gu Baiwei didn't believe it was such a coincidence, so she immediately picked up her luggage and chased after them.
Fortunately, she didn't have much luggage, and the man wasn't walking very fast. Gu Baiwei followed him at a leisurely pace the whole way, but she was always a little too far behind to see the watch clearly.
I kept following him, and before I knew it, I had followed the man into the alley next door.
The moment Gu Baiwei entered the alley, she noticed that the man had disappeared.
The alley was narrow and deep, with sunlight filtering in from above, creating a dim and indistinct atmosphere, making it impossible to see what lay ahead.
Gu Baiwei took a few more steps forward with boldness, when suddenly she heard light footsteps behind her, as if someone was following her at a leisurely pace.
Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she turned around abruptly, only to meet a pair of deep, dark eyes that were completely devoid of light. She recognized those eyes all too well; they belonged to Qi Yu, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
Qi Yu took off her mask, her deep eyes meeting hers, a faint smile appearing on her pale face: "Sister, it's been a long time."
The moment she met those eyes, Gu Baiwei felt a chill run down her spine. Her first instinct was to run, but when she turned around, she realized that the alley was a dead end.
At that moment, dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell into the narrow alley, and something on Qi Yu's wrist was shimmering with a dazzling light.
Gu Baiwei's gaze fell on the gold watch on Qi Yu's wrist, and she belatedly realized that this person had deliberately stolen her watch to lure her here.
As she was lost in thought, she saw Qi Yu approaching her step by step with a gentle smile on her face, her voice incredibly tender: "Sister, don't be afraid, I've come to take you back..."
Shen Family Villa.
Knowing that Gu Baiwei would be attending his birthday party, Shen Yanqing got up early to choose an outfit, selecting more than a dozen before finally finding one he was satisfied with.
Big Head, watching from the side, clicked his tongue in amazement. People in love are indeed different. Even the boss, who never cared much about his clothes, had become so vain.
After changing his clothes, Shen Yanqing glanced at his watch and frowned: "It's already this late, why haven't they arrived yet?"
Da Tou was also a little puzzled. The birthday banquet at noon was about to start, so why hadn't Miss Gu shown up yet?
Shen Yanqing felt inexplicably irritated. He took out his phone and called Gu Baiwei as he walked downstairs, but no one answered after several attempts.
Frowning, he changed his number and called Director Chen, but Director Chen didn't answer.
Just then, he spotted a familiar figure among the guests downstairs.
Shen Xuan stood there tall and straight, dressed in a white suit, his eyes scanning the venue as if searching for something.
Hearing the voice, she looked up and met Shen Yanqing's gaze. She subconsciously looked behind him, but did not see the figure she wanted to see. She couldn't help but frown: "Brother, has Sister Weiwei not arrived yet?"
To everyone's surprise, Shen Yanqing's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.
