"Zheng Linshan, the money has been transferred to you. From now on, we are even."

Zheng Linshan's face was ashen. He stared intently at Qin Luo, trying to find a flaw in this suddenly appearing man.

Qin Luo was dressed in seemingly ordinary casual clothes, but Zheng Linshan keenly noticed the Patek Philippe watch dial that was faintly visible on his wrist.

"You can transfer 80,000 yuan so easily; it seems you have some ability."

Zheng Linshan suppressed his anger and spoke with sarcasm.

"But do you know how much Piaopiao earns a month? It's not easy to support her."

Qin Luo laughed out loud upon hearing this.

"Raise? Piaopiao is the person I love, not a pet."

He looked down at Liu Piaopiao in his arms, his eyes tender.

“She can work if she likes it, and rest at home if she doesn’t want to work. I respect her choice.”

These words warmed Liu Piaopiao's heart. Although she knew it was acting, Qin Luo's tone was so natural that she was momentarily dazed.

Zheng Linshan was speechless.

He turned to Liu Piaopiao, his voice filled with resentment.

"Piaopiao, our three-year relationship, is this all you're going to do?"

"Zheng Linshan!"

Liu Piaopiao interrupted him, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"Stop talking about feelings. Do you really think I don't know about your relationship with Xue Mei?"

Zheng Linshan's expression changed.

"How could you..."

"Three years of best friends couldn't withstand reality."

Liu Piaopiao gave a bitter smile.

"I should thank you for letting me see the truth."

Just then, the coffee shop door was pushed open, and a woman in a business suit strode in.

She was carrying an exquisite watch box, her eyes searching for something in the coffee shop.

"Mr. Qin!"

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Qin Luo, and she quickly walked over.

"I have delivered the Patek Philippe 9190/900G-001 you requested."

Zheng Linshan's gaze was immediately drawn to the watch box.

As a watch enthusiast, he certainly knew what it was: a Patek Philippe ultra-complication chronograph series, with a market price starting at least 1.4 million.

Qin Luo took the watch box and casually placed it on the coffee table.

"Manager Zhang, thank you for your hard work. It's the weekend and you still have to make this trip."

Zhang Wenwen smiled and shook her head.

"It is our honor to serve our VIP clients."

She glanced at Qin Luo's empty wrist.

Would you like me to help you try them on now?

Qin Luo nodded, and Zhang Wenwen immediately and skillfully opened the watch box.

On the black velvet lining, a finely crafted watch lay quietly, its platinum case gleaming with understated luxury under the light.

Zheng Linshan's eyes widened.

He couldn't help but lean closer, wanting to confirm whether it was genuine.

As a second-generation rich kid, he has a natural sensitivity to luxury goods.

"Is this 9190/900G-001?"

Zheng Linshan's voice trembled slightly.

Zhang Wenwen nodded politely.

"Yes, sir, you have a good eye. This is Patek Philippe's latest ultra-complicated chronograph watch, limited to 50 pieces worldwide."

Liu Piaopiao and Xue Mei, who had been hiding in the corner, stared in shock at the watch.

Xue Mei muttered to herself.

"A watch worth over a million. How much does that cost?"

Qin Luo seemed unconcerned about the reactions of the crowd. He extended his wrist and asked Zhang Wenwen to help him try it on.

The watch strap was a bit long, and Zhang Wenwen immediately offered to adjust it on the spot.

"Mr. Qin, would you like me to adjust the watch strap length for you? However, once it's adjusted, it cannot be returned."

Zhang Wenwen offered a professional reminder.

Zheng Linshan suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Yes, once it's been adjusted, it can't be returned. A watch worth over a million isn't something just anyone can buy."

His implication was clear: he didn't believe Qin Luo could actually afford the watch.

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo's lips curled into a playful smile.

He looked at Zheng Linshan with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"One million four hundred and fifty thousand is nothing to me."

As he spoke, he took out a black bank card from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Wenwen.

"Just swipe the card. The password is Piaopiao's birthday."

"Swipe your card."

Qin Luo's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it exploded like a bomb in the Patek Philippe boutique.

His long, slender fingers held the ordinary savings card, which gleamed coldly under the light.

Zheng Linshan was stunned. His mocking smile froze, and his eyes widened like saucers.

Xue Mei, who was standing next to him, was even more exaggerated. She covered her mouth with her hand, which was painted with bright red nail polish, and let out a short gasp.

"Sir, are you sure you want this Ref. 5175? The price is 128 million."

Zhang Wenwen's voice trembled slightly; she hadn't handled such an expensive order in the three months she had been with the company.

Qin Luo didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Okay, wrap it up."

Liu Piaopiao stood to the side, her exquisite makeup unable to conceal the shock in her eyes.

She secretly sized up the poor boy she had once dumped, her heart racing uncontrollably.

Qin Luo was dressed in a simple white shirt and black casual pants today, without even a decent watch on his wrist, but his calm and composed aura seemed to be innate.

"Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty!"

Zheng Linshan finally came to his senses and let out a cold laugh.

"Wait until the card swipe fails, then we'll see how you handle that."

Qin Luo ignored him and walked straight to the cashier.

The POS machine made a slight operating sound, and a few seconds later, a receipt was slowly dispensed.

"Transaction successful!"

Zhang Wenwen's voice trembled with excitement as she handed the beautifully packaged watch box to Qin Luo with both hands.

"Sir, here is your form. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions."

The atmosphere in the store changed instantly.

Xue Mei's eyes were glued to Qin Luo, and she had let go of Zheng Linshan's arm at some point.

She leaned closer, her ample bosom almost brushing against Qin Luo's arm.

"Mr. Qin, is that right? I'm Xue Mei. I truly didn't recognize your greatness earlier."

She smiled obsequiously, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Zheng Linshan, whose face was ashen.

Liu Piaopiao suddenly moved.

She walked quickly to Qin Luo's side and, to everyone's astonishment, grabbed his arm.

"Honey, you're amazing!"

Her voice was sickeningly sweet, and she was practically pressed against Qin Luo.

Qin Luo froze, then realized that this woman was using him as a pawn to get back at her ex-boyfriend.

A playful smile appeared on his lips as he naturally wrapped his right arm around Liu Piaopiao's slender waist and deliberately gave it a squeeze.

"Did I make you proud?"

He whispered in Liu Piaopiao's ear, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe.

Liu Piaopiao's ears burned, but she had no choice but to continue acting.

"Of course, my boyfriend is the best."

Zheng Linshan's pupils contracted as he watched this scene.

He suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with sarcasm.

"Liu Piaopiao, do you think I'm stupid? Just now you two were acting like strangers, and now you're suddenly all lovey-dovey? At least make your acting convincing!"

He put his arm around Xue Mei and looked at Qin Luo provocatively.

"Kid, having money doesn't mean anything. True love is about being willing to spend money on your partner, understand?"

After saying that, he dragged the reluctant Xue Mei out, turning back to leave a final remark before they left.

"Liu Piaopiao, the extra you found is not bad, but unfortunately, his acting skills are terrible!"

The moment the shop door closed, a crisp notification sound rang in Qin Luo's mind.

[Ding! Side quest triggered. Purchase a Patek Philippe watch for Liu Piaopiao. Reward: 100x refund on purchase amount.]

Qin Luo's eyes lit up.

Buying Liu Piaopiao a watch worth one million would get you one hundred million? That's an amazing deal!

"Miss Zhang."

He called out to Zhang Wenwen, who was about to pour tea.

Could you tell me about your women's watch collection?

Zhang Wenwen's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned around and went to the counter to get a gold-embossed booklet.

"Mr. Qin, this is our latest women's watch collection. Please take your time looking around." "Pick one, and I'll pay."

Qin Luo's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the entire Patek Philippe boutique to hear.

He pushed the product brochure with its gold-embossed cover in front of Liu Piaopiao, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Liu Piaopiao's fingers trembled slightly as she turned to the first page of the manual. The price tag that caught her eye made her gasp.

The starting price of six figures made her instinctively want to close the manual, but when she caught a glimpse of Xue Mei's amused expression not far away, she stopped herself.

"This is too expensive."

Liu Piaopiao lowered her voice, her ear tips turning red.

"How could I accept such an expensive gift from you?"

Qin Luo chuckled softly, deliberately raising his voice.

"What, you look down on me? You think I can't afford it?"

Under the bright lights of the store, Liu Piaopiao could clearly see the cunning glint in Qin Luo's eyes.

She suddenly realized something. Qin Luo was acting, putting on a show for Xue Mei and that slick-haired Zheng Linshan.

"Then I'll pick one first, and I'll pay you back slowly later."

Liu Piaopiao bit her lower lip, her voice barely audible.

"what ever."

Qin Luo leaned casually against the leather sofa, but his gaze swept over Xue Mei, who was three meters away.

Sure enough, the woman was eavesdropping, and the entry-level watch in her hand suddenly lost its appeal.

Liu Piaopiao quickly flipped through the manual, finally stopping at the page for a watch priced at 100,000 yuan.

It was the same one that Xue Mei had just tried on.

"This is it, it's pretty nice."

She whispered, tapping lightly on the picture with her finger.

Qin Luo leaned over for a look and suddenly burst out laughing.

"5167A? An entry-level steel watch?"

His voice suddenly rose.

"Piaopiao, are you slapping me in the face? This kind of watch is for people who can't afford more expensive ones but are obsessed with saving face."

The store fell silent instantly.

Xue Mei's face turned pale instantly, and the wristwatch in her hand fell to the glass counter with a "thud".

"Qin Luo!"

Liu Piaopiao hurriedly tried to tug at his sleeve, but he grabbed her wrist instead.

"listen to me."

Qin Luo opened the manual to the first page and pointed to a diamond-encrusted, complicated wristwatch.

"This one, 1.3 million, is suitable for you."

Liu Piaopiao's eyes widened.

"Are you crazy? That's enough to buy a house!"

"Too expensive?"

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow and turned to another page.

"Then this one, 960,000."

The sales assistants in the store had already quietly gathered around, with Zhang Wenwen standing at the front, her eyes shining brightly.

Meeting two major clients in one day is a rare stroke of luck.

"I still think it's too expensive."

Liu Piaopiao was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead. She quickly flipped through the manual and finally stopped in front of a wristwatch with a brown-red strap.

"This one, 350,000, really can't be any more expensive."

Qin Luo quickly calculated in his mind.

Three hundred and fifty thousand, a hundredfold return would be thirty-five million.

Although it wasn't as good as expected, it was still barely acceptable.

"Are you sure? You're not changing it?"

He confirmed.

Liu Piaopiao nodded firmly, afraid that he would pick something even more expensive.

"Ms. Zhang, do you have it in stock?"

Qin Luo snapped his fingers.

"There are some!"

Zhang Wenwen jogged to pick up the goods, her high heels clicking merrily on the marble floor.

Taking advantage of the break, Qin Luo glanced at his phone.

Nie Xiaoyu hasn't arrived yet, and there's been no news from her.

This doesn't look like her. Could something have happened to her?

"Mr. Qin, here is your 5167R."

Zhang Wenwen returned carrying an exquisite watch box and carefully opened it.

Liu Piaopiao gasped.

The actual product is even more exquisite than the pictures. The rose gold case has a warm luster under the light, the chocolate-colored dial is inlaid with three-dimensional hour markers, and the brown-red rubber strap looks both stylish and comfortable.

"Try it."

Qin Luo gestured to Zhang Wenwen to help Liu Piaopiao put it on.

Liu Piaopiao shuddered when the cold metal touched her wrist.

Three hundred and fifty thousand, just like that, on her hand? She secretly glanced at Qin Luo and found him staring at her with a complicated and unreadable expression.

"Perfect for you!"

Zhang Wenwen introduced the product with enthusiasm.

"This AQUANAUT series watch features the 324SC automatic movement, a 45-hour power reserve, 120-meter water resistance, and a rose gold case."

Liu Piaopiao didn't hear a single word.

Her mind was filled with thoughts.

When did Qin Luo become so rich? Was that supercar outside the school really his? Or was it borrowed from Situ Rui?
"Like it?"

Qin Luo asked.

Liu Piaopiao nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook her head.

"It's too precious, I..."

"Pay by card, full amount."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Luo took out his bank card and handed it to Zhang Wenwen.

A crisp "snap" sound came from the other end of the store.

Everyone turned to look, only to see Xue Mei covering her face, staring at Zheng Linshan in disbelief.

"You hit me?"

Xue Mei's voice was shrill and piercing.

"What happened to hitting you?"

Zheng Linshan's face turned ashen.

"Do you have to compare yourself to others? An 180,000 watch isn't good enough for you? Do you think you're worth 350,000?"

Xue Mei's tears streamed down her face.

"Zheng Linshan! What did you say when you were pursuing me? Now you think I'm not good enough for your watch?"

"roll!"

Zheng Linshan turned and left.

Xue Mei paused for two seconds, then suddenly grabbed her bag and chased after him.

"Linshan! Wait for me! That's not what I meant."

The store was completely silent; everyone awkwardly pretended not to have seen what was happening.

Zhang Wenwen quickly swiped her card and handed the receipt and the packaged old watch to Qin Luo.

Thank you for your patronage! Please feel free to contact us if you need anything!

Her smile was sweeter than honey.

As Liu Piaopiao walked out of the store, she was still in a daze.

The new watch on my wrist felt heavy, like I was wearing a time bomb.

"Qin Luo."

She hesitated before speaking.

I will definitely pay you back, it just might take some time.

"Not urgent."

Qin Luo casually fiddled with the car keys.

“I still have over a billion yuan in cash in my account, so 350,000 yuan is not even a fraction of it.”

Liu Piaopiao stopped walking.

"How much? Over a billion?"

She looked Qin Luo up and down.

"Have you done something illegal?"

Qin Luo laughed loudly.

"Don't worry, the money is from a legitimate source."

He glanced at his phone, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Why hasn't Nie Xiaoyu arrived yet?"

Just then, a clear, crisp female voice came from behind. (End of Chapter)
