What’s this new product? Is it a face mask?” Li Tong immediately opened the packaging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frosty Jade Skin already had a milk pearl powder face mask, but face masks didn’t usually look like this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Li Tong was very curious, wondering exactly what this was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang explained with a smile, “This is a snail essence eye mask, which can lighten crow’s feet and under-eye lines, as well as reduce dark circles. It is quite effective.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark circles would appear from staying up late, and no matter how much foundation you applied, you couldn’t completely cover them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This eye mask was simply a savior for night owls!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good skincare products shouldn’t stay the same forever, so recently, Frosty Jade Skin had not only added eye masks but had also launched several affordable skincare products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, good things were meant to be shared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eye mask? Do you use it on your eyes?” Li Tong continued to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly,” Ni Yang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Tong followed up, “Yangyang, thank you! How much is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she hadn’t used this eye mask yet, Li Tong was already a loyal fan of Frosty Jade Skin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed that Frosty Jade Skin wouldn’t disappoint her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eye mask must be really good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang replied with a smile, “This is a new product, currently in the trial phase. Just let me know how it works for you afterward; there’s no need to pay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Tong wasn’t the kind to take advantage, “No way, Yangyang, I can’t accept the eye mask if you’re not taking the money!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang took a sip of coffee, “Tongtong, if you really feel bad about it, then do me a favor instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What favor? Just tell me,” said Li Tong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang began speaking softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Tong patted her chest and said, “No problem, leave it to me! I promise I’ll take care of it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s no trouble at all,” Li Tong continued, “Yangyang, if you ever need help with anything in the future, just let me know!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she wasn’t working today, Shangguan Xi spent time on a date with Zuo Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling brought up marriage again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the matter of marriage, Shangguan Xi was also somewhat at a loss. After all, it was a commitment for a lifetime, and she wanted to think it over properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoxi, do you not love me?” Zuo Ling asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi replied, “No, I love you very much! Zuo Ling, why would you think that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling continued, “If you love me, why won’t you marry me? Especially since you’ve already accepted my proposal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling was anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer the delay, the more likely it was that Shangguan Xi might be snatched away by Wu Chenjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi thought for a moment and then said, “Zuo Ling, this is a matter for a lifetime. I need to discuss it with my family and prepare a lot of things. Have you already discussed it with your uncle and aunt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling replied, “My parents really like you; they can’t wait for me to marry you! There’s no need for discussion; they are just waiting for your response now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had even threatened with his own life once, so his parents didn’t dare to disagree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi said, “Don’t worry, Zuo Ling, I’ll pick a good day soon to talk to them about this, and I promise you won’t have to wait too long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi was in a hurry too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her family had many misconceptions about Zuo Ling and continuously disapproved of her marrying him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she supposed to secretly take her household registration book and sneak off to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But doing so would surely anger her parents once they found out…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shangguan Xi say this, Zuo Ling no longer pressured her, “Then I’ll wait for your good news.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling continued, “By the way, Xiaoxi, I had a friend bring back a gift for you from abroad again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What gift?” Shangguan Xi asked, her face alight with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time Zuo Ling didn’t let Shangguan Xi guess and directly pulled a beautifully wrapped gift box from his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoxi, why don’t you open it and see?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As instructed, Shangguan Xi opened the gift box and saw, nestled in the red velvet, a gorgeous Longines watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you like it?” Zuo Ling asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ordinary people, a Longines watch was extremely luxurious, but for Shangguan Xi, it was hardly worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the foreign brand watch on Shangguan Xi’s wrist was more than a hundred times more expensive than the Longines!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Zuo Ling didn’t realize the worth and thought Shangguan Xi was wearing a no-name watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, since the watch represented Zuo Ling’s sentiments, Shangguan Xi exclaimed with delight, “I love it! Thank you so much, Zuo Ling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Longines watch cost over two hundred yuan, and although it wasn’t expensive, it at least proved Zuo Ling’s sincerity toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ni Yang had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a person has one yuan and is willing to give it all to you, that’s real love!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Real love is priceless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling earned only a bit over a hundred yuan a month, yet he was willing to give her a watch worth over two hundred yuan — that was real love!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi was overjoyed to have found such a good man in this lifetime!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me help you put it on,” Zuo Ling continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi nodded and took off the watch she was wearing to pocket it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With disdain, Zuo Ling said, “Xiaoxi, that watch of yours is all worn out! Why keep it? Just throw it away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi replied, “This watch was a gift from my dad, it holds special meaning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling nodded, “I see it’s from your father, then it shouldn’t be thrown away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After helping Shangguan Xi put on the watch, he raised his own left hand and said, “Look, Xiaoxi, now our watches even match!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi’s smile grew even more joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing the watch Zuo Ling had given her, the thought of marrying him grew increasingly stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xi had made up her mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her family still didn’t approve, she would be bold for once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling was such a good person, she believed her family would understand her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling dropped Shangguan Xi off at her home, then headed to his own place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he got home, Mother Zuo asked with a stern face, “Lingling, did you take my watch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That watch had been a gift from Chen Laibao to her, and she hadn’t even had the chance to wear it before it disappeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling nodded, “Yes, what about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you take my watch for?” Mother Zuo demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling sat down on the couch, “I gave it to Xiaoxi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!” Mother Zuo nearly shrieked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had given it to Shangguan Xi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually given that expensive watch to that little bitch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know how much that watch cost?” Mother Zuo’s face turned red with anger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a care, Zuo Ling picked up an apple, “It’s just a watch, right? Is it worth all this fuss? Besides, Xiaoxi is not an outsider; she’s about to marry into our family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That watch costs over two hundred yuan! Over two hundred yuan! I couldn’t even bring myself to wear it, and there you go, giving it to that little bitch without even blinking an eye!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t even married yet, and her son was already so enamored with that little bitch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would happen if they did get married?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go right now and get that watch back from that little bitch! Go now!” Mother Zuo pushed Zuo Ling toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speechless, Zuo Ling said, “Mom, is it really worth it? I’m your son! Do I mean less to you than a watch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Zuo yelled, “It’s my watch! What gives you the right to give it to that little bitch? If you don’t want to get it, then I will go to that little bitch myself and get it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That damned little bitch, daring to take her things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling continued, “Mom, calm down. Xiaoxi is going to marry into our family soon; we can just have her return the watch later! Right now it’s not going to happen, we’re at a critical point. If you screw up our affair at this time, then I might as well be dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Zuo Ling casually picked up the fruit knife on the table, appearing as if he were about to commit suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Zuo was terrified, her face turning deathly pale, “Lingling, drop the knife! Put down the knife!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling placed the fruit knife down, “Mom, don’t worry. Once Xiaoxi steps into our home, you can treat her however you want, and I won’t stop you. But not now!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1688,"2026-06-05T19:00:26.079Z",1,"novelbin.me","dd7670d9ccd92035b6a387ac299cff3c48969fbf99ff82ad0dc9a40c8eec2b94","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-1041","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-1039",1410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-of-a-village-girl-cover.jpg"]
