Chapter 402 Friend, or suitor?
After receiving the watch, Jiang Qin carefully searched for something through the protective box.

Finally, traces of the past were found on the watch strap.

Seeing that she wanted to open the box, Shi Lichuan quickly stopped her, "Qinqin, you can't open this. The staff said that this watch was coated with a lot of chemicals to be able to be preserved underground for so many years."

After the archaeologists unearthed it, fearing it would weather, they poured a lot of things on it before sealing it in the box.

Therefore, this cannot be turned on; there's a chance some harmful substances might be inhaled.

No wonder she felt the watch was both strange and familiar; it had been modified.

If it weren't for the faint traces of the character "沁" on the watch strap, she probably wouldn't have recognized it.

Jiang Qin wasn't sure whose grave it was; it could be hers, An Xin's, or someone else's, like one of her fans.

Because only they would care about her.

Yun Xie and the others all saw the deep longing in her eyes, as if she were recalling something.

They quickly guessed that she had likely seen the watch before, so they didn't disturb her.

The auction continues.

Yuan Ling obtained two or three rare energy materials, Yun Xie also bid on a special exotic plant, and Shi Lichuan bid on two energy shields.

There were two or three more items left that they thought suited Jiang Qin, so they took pictures of them.

In short, I really spent too much today!
Fortunately, everyone in their family is quite wealthy and has no bad habits, so occasional high spending doesn't affect their savings.

Mo Chen, who was in another room, also bought a necklace.

He had never seen Jiang Qin wear such a vibrant color as rubies, but he always felt that it would be an absolute beauty.

Just imagining how she would look wearing it, I couldn't help but smile slightly.

As a friend, giving a gift should be acceptable, right?

Nanxin shared the same idea. He bought several pieces of jewelry without even blinking, thinking that it would be appropriate to give his brother's wife some gifts.
He's Yun Xie's brother, someone he'd risked his life for!
Surely they won't refuse this? Consider it a belated congratulatory gift for the newlyweds.

Yes, it's only for brides.

……

Even after the auction ended, the evening was still filled with a celebratory party.

Some males who haven't found a mate are still active in the dance hall.

But everyone took off their masks today.

It was only because he was no longer wearing a mask that Jiang Qin recognized Jiang Qingfeng, who was still wearing a silver-white combat uniform today.

She belatedly realized that he seemed to be the same man she had met in the elevator yesterday.

Because of their previous friendship, she brought over a drink that pregnant women could also drink and greeted them.

"Young Marshal, it's been a long time."

Jiang Qingfeng's vision was completely black and white. The female in front of him had facial features, but he could not remember her appearance. However, he could smell a familiar scent.

This smell had tormented him countless nights, so he couldn't forget it.

"Miss Jiang, it's been a long time."

The two clinked glasses and took a sip.

"What have you been busy with lately, young marshal? I heard you were transferred."

She didn't mention what happened in the elevator yesterday, since everyone was wearing masks and it was normal not to recognize them.

Jiang Qingfeng didn't mention it either, probably because he didn't recognize her.

"I've been quite relaxed lately. Miss Jiang, please don't call me Young Marshal anymore. I'm the commander of Shangyu City now."

The commander and the young marshal are clearly not from the same system.

But Jiang Qin neither asked nor investigated further.

After all, given their relationship, they weren't close enough to discuss privacy.

After the negotiation ended, they lost contact, but the contact information of the computer's friends was still there.

The two chatted for a bit, and when Jiang Qin noticed a female approaching Jiang Qingfeng, she tactfully left. She silently went to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze.

Unexpectedly, Mo Chen was also there, so she simply stood next to him.

Neither of them spoke.

Jiang Qin looked at the sea under the night sky and felt a little uneasy, while Mo Chen was thinking about how to give the gift.

Finally, Jiang Qin jokingly asked, "Mo Chen, do you think there might be strange beasts underwater?"

"It shouldn't be the case. The law enforcement team on Night Star is very strong, and it has been confirmed by the cleanup team jointly hired by the merchants and the law enforcement team of the Female Protection Association."

"I think so too."

You have to understand that this cruise ship is home to most of the advanced females in the interstellar space; she didn't even want to think about the consequences if there were an attack.

But thinking about it, that seems unlikely.

The churning seawater, probably from the dead of night, was indeed a bit frightening.

Mo Chen seemed to sense her unease, took out a coat from his spatial storage and draped it over her shoulders, saying softly, "The wind is strong at sea tonight, shall I take you back first?"

"Okay." Jiang Qin did not refuse.

The two looked perfectly matched.

In particular, the emotions in Mo Chen's eyes could not be concealed at all.

Those around them, seeing this scene, all mistook them for a young couple.

A male nearby remarked enviously, "I wish I could find a partner like that to enjoy the breeze with."

Rather than purely based on self-interest.

The man next to him gave a bitter laugh, “It wasn’t pure from the start, how could we dare to hope for love?”

"That's true. If a female is willing to start a relationship with me, I'd be willing to risk a huge increase in my riot level even if we don't have any babies in the future."

"Come on, my purpose in coming here is simply to find a partner."

"We are different. Since life is short anyway, I want to experience the bitterness of love."

The man next to the male laughed out loud, "It really is quite bitter."

After walking away, Jiang Qin no longer heard their conversation.

To be honest, she also wanted to experience the bitterness of love; people are always a bit curious about unknown emotions.

She's lived three lifetimes and has never experienced heartbreak.

Of course, she estimated that she would never be able to taste it in her lifetime.

Besides the education from the males, she was also rational enough that she didn't subscribe to the theory that forced relationships are never sweet but are thirst-quenching.

...

Seeing that she was almost at her room, Mo Chen knew that if he didn't deliver some things soon, it would be too late.

He took out a gift box from his spatial storage and handed it to Jiang Qin with a furtive look in his eyes.

"Miss Jiang, I would like to give you a gift."

Seeing the hand holding the gift box trembling slightly with nervousness, Jiang Qin smiled and asked, "In what capacity is the General giving this gift?"

Friend, or suitor?

Mo Chen was not surprised that his emotions would be discovered.

After all, only the person who is liked can truly feel how much the person who likes you really likes you.

No matter how he tried to conceal it, he never spared a single second his gaze on anyone else.

Now that the truth has been revealed, he has no reason not to admit it.

"If it were a suitor, would Miss Jiang still be willing to accept this gift?"

Jiang Qin took the gift box. "Hmm, if it's for a general, I will."
