Chapter 14: As If You Could Afford It

"Wow, this watch is so beautiful. Lin, you really have an eye for things!"

When the shop assistant placed this 6102P-001 Celestial moon phase watch onto Lin Dazhi's wrist, Bai Weiwei, who was pressed tightly against him, couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

She wasn't doing this to deliberately curry favor with Lin Dazhi; she was genuinely attracted to this watch.

Under the reflection of the soft lights, the watch's dial looked like a mysterious starry sky; the deep blue firmament was dotted with brilliant stars, and the moon phase display was like a bright moon hanging in the sky—exquisite and dreamy.

The platinum watch case emitted a charming luster, and the alligator leather strap revealed an indescribable nobility amidst its softness and comfort.

Lin Dazhi examined the watch on his wrist, his eyes also revealing an indescribable fondness. He shook his wrist and said, "That goes without saying. Among the Patek Philippe series, this watch's aesthetics can definitely rank in the top five. Let me tell you, this watch isn't just good-looking; it has many awesome functions. For example, this celestial simulation is absolutely a unique craft; other brands can't even imitate it..."

Watching Lin Dazhi there, rattling off the details as if they were his own treasures and telling Bai Weiwei how good the watch was, Zhou Yue, who was watching coldly from the side, really couldn't help but mock, "Lin Dazhi, since this watch is so good, why don't you buy it?"

Lin Dazhi was in the middle of explaining enthusiastically to Bai Weiwei. Hearing Zhou Yue's words, he raised his head to look at her, deliberately showing a look of surprise on his face as he said, "Huh? You haven't left yet?"

Zhou Yue crossed her arms over her chest, snorted, and said, "Lin Dazhi, whether I leave or not, is that any of your business?"

Lin Dazhi nodded and said with a smile, "Right, right, right, none of my business, none of my business. Hey, Zhou Yue, then whether I buy this watch or not, is that any of your business?"

Zhou Yue didn't expect Lin Dazhi to actually dare to talk back to her. She let out a "Ha," the mockery on her face growing even thicker, and said, "Lin Dazhi, I've discovered you've grown some nerve now, daring to talk back to me. You're something, Lin Dazhi! Don't worry, I'm too lazy to care about you. I'm just curious—some people make at most a hundred-something yuan a day delivering food, yet they actually dare to try on a watch worth over three million. I don't know where that courage comes from."

Lin Dazhi ignored her and looked at Bai Weiwei, saying, "This watch is alright."

Bai Weiwei heard this and asked hurriedly, "Are you just buying this one? Not going to look at others?"

"Oh, I almost forgot because you didn't mention it." As Lin Dazhi said this, he turned his head and asked the shop assistant, "Do you have the Twenty~4?"

Hearing Lin Dazhi's words, the shop assistant hurriedly said, "Yes, we do. The Twenty~4 ladies' rose gold series is over here."

"Alright, take it out and let me see." Lin Dazhi said casually.

The shop assistant carefully took an exquisite ladies' watch out from the counter and introduced it while saying, "This Twenty~4 ladies' watch case and bracelet use a hand-polished finish,

the blue sunburst dial has a clever gradient effect, and it features hand-applied 18k white gold numerals, hour markers, hour hands, and minute hands..."

"Alright, stop introducing it; I know all the specifications." After Lin Dazhi finished speaking, he didn't stand on ceremony; he directly scooped up the watch, pulled over Bai Weiwei's wrist, and put it on her.

"Hey, beautiful!" Lin Dazhi pinched Bai Weiwei's soft, boneless little hand, looked at that exquisite ladies' watch, and couldn't help but offer praise.

"Lin, is this... for me?" Looking at the exquisite and charming ladies' watch on her wrist, Bai Weiwei asked with a face full of surprise.

"Yeah, how is it? My taste isn't bad, right? Although this watch is cheap, only over 400,000, it suits your temperament very well." Lin Dazhi said with a look of appreciation.

Zhou Yue had been standing on the side watching Lin Dazhi put on an act there. At this moment, hearing him say "only over 400,000," she couldn't help but let out a "Tch."

"Oh my, some people really don't know who they are anymore. Riding a piece-of-junk electric scooter worth three thousand to deliver food every day, yet actually looking down on a watch worth over 400,000. Oh my, Lin Dazhi, why didn't I realize before that you were so good at putting on an act? Oh, I know, it's because I was managing you before, so those bad traits of yours were all hidden. Now that we're divorced, you've revealed your true colors, right?" Zhou Yue really couldn't stand it anymore and said with a drawn-out, mocking tone.

Liu Haibo, who was beside her, heard her words, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, put on the posture of an elder, and shook his head, saying, "Little Zhou, I've always been saying that some young people nowadays are too impetuous, always thinking about getting something for nothing and reaching the sky in a single bound, not understanding the principle that one must eat a meal one bite at a time. Sigh, pathetic, truly pathetic."

Hearing Liu Haibo's words, Zhou Yue hurriedly said, "Director, why are you feeling pathetic for someone like him? A person like him will only ever be at this level for his whole life; how can he compare to your level? Sigh, now you know how painful it was for me to live with him before, right? At first, I even thought about how to reform him, but as time went on, I saw it more clearly—this kind of person is just hopeless, beyond cure! If I had continued living with him, I would have been angered to death!"

Lin Dazhi held Bai Weiwei's hand, enjoying the beautiful sight of her snow-white wrist and the exquisite watch reflecting each other, while leisurely listening to his ex-wife Zhou Yue being snide over there.

Not until she finished speaking did Lin Dazhi smile and say, "Weiwei, do you think some people are just especially fond of meddling in other people's business? I'm just buying a watch, and it's all 'impetuous' this and 'getting something for nothing' that. You tell me, what does it have to do with him?"

Bai Weiwei heard this, let out a giggle, and chimed in, "Exactly. Probably just jealous because they can't afford it."

Hearing Bai Weiwei's words, Zhou Yue immediately didn't like what she heard.

She divorced Lin Dazhi one moment, and the next, Bai Weiwei got together with him. At this moment, she was hating this pair of "dogs" in her heart. Hearing Bai Weiwei say this, she immediately raised her voice and said, "Yo, Bai Weiwei, you're something else. Haven't seen you in a few hours and you've really leveled up, haven't you? I can't afford a watch worth over three million, just as if you could afford it! Tch, you're both thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of ghost stories are you playing at!"

Bai Weiwei heard Zhou Yue's words but wasn't angry at all. She leaned against Lin Dazhi's ear and said, "Lin, I'm going over there for a second, I'll be right back."

"Mm, go ahead. Hurry up, don't dawdle; it's getting late, let's go home early." Lin Dazhi smelled Bai Weiwei's charming body scent and felt the fire in his lower abdomen was already becoming hard to suppress.

"Okay!" Bai Weiwei kissed Lin Dazhi and said playfully.

"Little vixen!" Lin Dazhi watched Bai Weiwei twist her hips as she turned away, and couldn't help but give her a "smack" and laughingly scold her.

"Ah~~~" Bai Weiwei let out a startled cry, but turned back to wink at Lin Dazhi.

This scene, falling into the eyes of Zhou Yue and Liu Haibo—the former was once again trembling with rage, and the latter's pair of lecherous eyes were full of envy!

"Damn it, a stinking food delivery guy actually hooked up with a top-tier beauty of this level; it's simply a waste of heaven's gifts! Sigh, what is wrong with young people these days?" Liu Haibo looked at Bai Weiwei walking toward him with a look of deep regret on his face.

It's just a pity that the great beauty didn't even look at him, directly taking out her bank card.

"I'll take both watches. Swipe the card."
