Before she knew it, half a bottle of red wine was gone. Jiang Wenxi put down her glass, her steps slightly unsteady as she stood up. She rubbed her temples, trying to clear her mind of those chaotic thoughts, and turned to leave the lounge area, slowly walking back to her bedroom.

After washing up, she lay down on the bed, covered herself with the soft silk quilt, and the dizziness brought on by the alcohol quickly lulled her into a deep sleep. The lights outside the window were still bright, but they couldn't penetrate her sleeping dreams, nor could they illuminate the loneliness in her heart that no one knew about.

Jiang Wenxi didn't know how long she had slept when a sudden ringing of the telephone abruptly shattered the tranquility of the bedroom. Her brows furrowed abruptly, startled awake. She instinctively sat up, rubbing her heavy temples with her fingertips, and reached for her phone on the bedside table.

The moment the screen lit up, she squinted to adjust to the light and saw the caller ID – Fu Siya.

She swiped to answer the call, her voice still hoarse from just waking up: "Feed?"

Fu Siya's lively and cheerful voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, breaking the silence like a bouncing pebble: "Wenxi, want to go shopping?"

It wasn't until that familiar voice entered her ears that Jiang Wenxi's muddled thoughts finally came to a complete stop. She glanced at the time on her phone screen and belatedly realized that it was already nine o'clock.

"Now?"

"Yeah, yeah! Let's go shopping first. I know a new clothing store with really cute designs, then we'll go eat at that super popular dessert shop at the end of the alley and really relax!"

After a pause, Fu Siya added mysteriously, "And let me tell you, I also found an amazing spa. The environment is great and the massage techniques are excellent. After shopping, we can go there to relax and unwind!"

Upon hearing the words "SPA," Jiang Wenxi recalled the lingering fatigue from the previous night, and her initial hesitation instantly softened. She pulled the silk blanket around herself and replied, "Sure, what time do we leave?"

"I'll be downstairs in about an hour, so take your time getting ready!" Fu Siya said readily.

Jiang Wenxi looked up at the window; the morning light was already streaming in through the gaps in the curtains, dazzlingly bright. She checked the time on her phone; it was nine in the morning, an hour was plenty of time to prepare. "Okay, I got it. Message me when you arrive."

After hanging up the phone, she threw back the covers and got out of bed, her steps still a little unsteady. After washing up, she went to the walk-in closet to choose clothes. Thinking that she was going shopping and getting a spa treatment today, she couldn't dress too elaborately, nor too casually. In the end, she chose a simple off-white dress, paired with a pair of black stiletto heels—neither too elegant nor too tiring to walk in.

Just as she finished getting ready, Jiang Wenxi received a message from Fu Siya on her phone: "I'm downstairs!" Jiang Wenxi picked up her handbag and went straight downstairs. When she reached the entrance of the building, she saw Fu Siya standing next to a taxi, waving at her.

"Over here!" Fu Siya quickly came up to her, took her arm, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I won't drive today, I'll ride in your car, it'll save me the trouble and I won't have to look for a parking space."

Jiang Wenxi nodded: "Okay."

The two got into the Bugatti, and Fu Siya excitedly leaned over, patting the back of her hand: "Don't worry, I've arranged a complete service for you today, from shopping to desserts to a spa, I guarantee you'll feel comfortable and leave satisfied!"

The Bugatti drove smoothly for over twenty minutes before finally stopping at the main entrance of Wanlai Plaza. If you were to ask which shopping mall in the vicinity was the largest and most upscale, Wanlai Plaza would undoubtedly be number one. The entire building was magnificent and imposing, its glass curtain walls reflecting dazzling light in the sunlight. The fountain at the entrance constantly changed its shape to the rhythm of the music, and most of the pedestrians were exquisitely dressed and exuded an air of distinction.

"We're here!" Fu Siya opened the car door first and pulled Jiang Wenxi into the mall. "Wanlai Plaza has eight floors. It has everything for eating, drinking and entertainment, and it's all high-end brands. It's basically the gathering place for the wealthy in our area. It'll be a great place to shop."

Jiang Wenxi followed her into the mall. Jiang Nan went to park the car, while Jiang Wen followed behind. The high-ceilinged lobby, adorned with crystal chandeliers, exuded luxury and style. The two went straight to the luxury goods section on the fourth floor and quickly entered a high-end watch store. As soon as they entered, the soft lighting illuminated rows of exquisite display cases, showcasing a variety of watches, all elegantly designed and of exceptional quality.

"Wenxi, do you see if there's anything you like?" Fu Siya pulled Jiang Wenxi to the central display case, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the watches inside.

Jiang Wenxi nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping across the display case. The watches in the case ranged in price from several thousand yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan, each exquisitely designed. Her eyes were quickly drawn to one watch, and she pointed to it, saying, "This one looks pretty good."

It was a watch called "Moon Goddess," which stood out among all the other watches.

"Miss Jiang, you have excellent taste." The moment Jiang Wenxi and Fu Siya entered, the store manager had already noticed them. Their air of nobility and composure were far beyond that of ordinary customers. The manager didn't rush forward, but first signaled to the staff to maintain order in the store. She then straightened her clothes and walked forward steadily, her attitude respectful yet calm: "Ladies, please come in. I am the store manager, and I will be serving you from now on." She knew that these kinds of distinguished guests didn't appreciate overly enthusiastic flattery; calm and proper service was key—after all, given their status, they were more than worthy of her, the store manager, personally attending to them.

The store manager walked to the display case, put on white gloves, and gently and skillfully took out the "Moon Goddess" watch. He placed it on a velvet tray and slowly handed it to Jiang Wenxi, saying in a calm and professional tone, "Ms. Jiang, let me introduce this watch to you in detail."

"This is a mechanical watch from the Moon Goddess series. The case is made of silver stainless steel, with a simple yet sophisticated design and a classic square silhouette. The dial is light silver, decorated with an exquisite openwork moon pattern. Inside the moon is a delicate mechanical structure that changes phases as the movement runs, showcasing a unique design. The crown is set with a round white pearl, as warm and lustrous as a pearl under the moonlight."

The dial is edged with tiny diamonds as markers, which sparkle brilliantly under light, like moonlight cascading onto the wrist. Furthermore, this watch comes with four different colored straps to match various styles of clothing. The store manager spoke calmly and clearly, without any unnecessary embellishment, simply presenting the watch's advantages objectively.
