She reclined in her chair with an air of mystery, placing her hand on the side of the coffee table, her eyes once again unconsciously drifting to her watch. Her fiery red lips curled into a smug smile, "Sorry, he hasn’t been in Capital City recently, so even if I wanted to introduce you, there wouldn’t be an opportunity. How about this, you let me have him, and I’ll take down your number. When he returns, I’ll find a chance to introduce you."
Of course, she had no real intention of introducing the two; it was just something to say in passing.
Jiang Nuan looked at her with a faint smile, leaning forward, "Don’t worry, since you’ve had a drink with me, I’ll definitely let you have him. I don’t need you to introduce him to me. I’m just curious about your relationship with each other."
Oh, so she wants something more, huh.
Gu Qing thought Jiang Nuan wanted to curry favor with her, and she personally enjoyed the superiority of having those high up in Capital City trying to please her. She slightly lowered her chin, her eyes fixated on the ladies’ watch on her wrist, then placed her alabaster wrist in front of Jiang Nuan, casting a sultry glance at her, "This watch was a birthday gift from him. What do you think our relationship is?"
It was then that Jiang Nuan noticed the luxury watch on her wrist, with the Patek Philippe logo conspicuously displayed, as if afraid no one would see it.
She had a few Patek Philippe watches of her own. She had seen this style when it first came out but hadn’t bought it, not for any particular reason other than the logo being too prominent, which she didn’t like. When she had gone to the store with Madam Fu to look at watches, Madam Fu had remarked that the designer from this brand must have been blinded by money; this watch could only be sold to nouveau riche, and no family with real depth would buy it. But today, she saw someone wearing it.
"You don’t recognize this watch?" Gu Qing wanted to show off, fearing she wouldn’t recognize it. She curled her lips and asked cautiously.
Jiang Nuan lifted her eyes to look at her flaunting face, her lips involuntarily twitching, "Of course, I recognize it. It’s a Patek Philippe watch, quite expensive."
Gu Qing immediately beamed with delight, lifting her wrist to place the watch beside her face, looking cherishing, "I didn’t know this watch was so expensive at first. It was only after I received it as a gift and checked online that I realized how pricey it was... Actually, it was just a small birthday, not an important day that needed such a lavish gift..."
A Patek Philippe watch isn’t cheap, with even the least expensive costing a few hundred thousand or millions. For an ordinary person, Patek Philippe is the definition of a luxury watch, but for Jiang Nuan, who had been accustomed to luxury since childhood, Patek Philippe was merely an entry-level watch. Many watches had real collectible value, and countless ones were more expensive than Patek Philippe. She wondered if Gu Qing googled before boasting; treating a decent watch as if it were priceless was really tacky!
"I wanted him to take it back, but he refused, saying gifts once given shouldn’t be taken back. I had no choice but to accept it. Oh, this watch..."
Jiang Nuan could no longer bear it, restraining her patience, she interrupted her bragging, "The watch is very beautiful and suits you well, but you still haven’t answered my question. What is your relationship with him..."
Gu Qing frowned, unhappy at being interrupted in her excitement, pursed her lips, and reclined back in her chair again, taking a closer look at Jiang Nuan with an enlightened expression.
