Just as they were about to enter, Yu Zexiao suddenly stopped, pulling Jian Anning aside, and said, "Anning, you’re safe this ti, thanks to Situ Xuan. Now, he’s just gotten out of the ICU. Let’s buy him sothing. It’s not right to visit empty-handed, is it?"
Jian Anning was a little shocked; she didn’t expect Yu Zexiao to be so "considerate"! Didn’t he dislike Situ Xuan the most? Even now, having agreed to her plea to postpone their marriage for a few years, he still didn’t really like Situ Xuan, right? Visiting him and even bringing gifts?
"Uh? Is this... appropriate?" Perhaps because she was too surprised, Jian Anning felt a bit unsure as she spoke.
"There’s nothing inappropriate about it." Yu Zexiao smiled and took her hand. "Co on, let’s go buy him so supplents and gifts or sothing."
He waved his hand and decisively got into the car, driving to a large shopping mall near the hospital. Seeing the very formal style of the place, Jian Anning was slightly bewildered.
"Ze... Zexiao... Isn’t this a bit over the top?"
When visiting a hospital, don’t people usually just bring fruit baskets or flower arrangents? What could one possibly buy at a large mall like this?
Yu Zexiao grinned broadly. "Anning, you’re not thinking straight. How can we buy just anything? Since he saved your life, we ought to get sothing expensive. How about we buy him a watch—the most expensive one."
Saying this, he pulled the sowhat dumbfounded Jian Anning straight to the Oga counter.
Jian Anning was still a bit in shock, watching as he skillfully negotiated with the shop attendant, raising his hand with the air of a wealthy person, "Bring out the most expensive watch you have here!"
Then, as the attendant handed over a watch priced at thirty thousand Euros, Yu Zexiao placed the order without batting an eye and swiped his card. Only then did Jian Anning feel a bit alard, "This, won’t this..."
She felt sowhat touched, yet slightly puzzled. Touched because Yu Zexiao spent money without hesitation to buy her a gift to thank Situ Xuan for saving her life. But puzzled because—while soone is ill, you go and buy them a watch; what kind of logic is that?
Yu Zexiao mused, "Ah, just thirty thousand euros. How can a small amount like this repay him for saving your life? If it’s not enough, we can shop so more! At least spend a few hundred thousand to a million to repay him properly."
"No, no." Jian Anning was startled and quickly grabbed him, pulling him out of the shopping center. Yu Zexiao had a serious look, "Anning, this is not right. He saved your life, what’s wrong with spending so money? You’re being a bit unreasonable, aren’t you?"
How did she end up being unreasonable? Jian Anning was both amused and exasperated. She initially didn’t understand Yu Zexiao’s real intention for bringing her to buy gifts for Situ Xuan, but now, she deeply felt that—Yu Zexiao was trying to pay her debt, to lessen her guilt, willing to spend a lot of money to ease her heart.
Even knowing Yu Zexiao disliked Situ Xuan, he was still willing to do this for her, making her feel a bit sour inside.
"Zexiao, it’s really unnecessary..." She hesitated, lowering her head slightly, feeling a bit apologetic.
