In a daze, Kuang Yu was pondering over the days he got to know Jiang Wan. When he came to his senses, he found himself already led by Jiang Wan to the entrance of a gold shop. Kuang Yu froze slightly, his face not looking too good. Initially, when he first got to know Jiang Wan, she was just subtly hinting at wanting him to buy her some clothes and accessories. After all, women love these things, and a piece of clothing or something wouldn’t cost too much money. With a wave of his hand, sitting in his office, he could make back this money in just a short while. So these days, Kuang Yu has been more or less obeying Jiang Wan, buying her whatever she wanted. After all, Kuang Yu has always been generous with women and willing to spend money on each girlfriend he dates. However, someone like Jiang Wan, who wants to take a big haul from him, is rare. It’s just that others know to take it step by step gradually. But Jiang Wan, perhaps because she is young, always wants to bite off more than she can chew, which makes Kuang Yu very displeased. The personality of wealthy people is indeed peculiar, although he knows you are approaching him for money. Yet when you honestly lay your purposes before him, he becomes unhappy. Thinks of you as materialistic, vulgar. So, when Jiang Wan led Kuang Yu to the gold shop, even before she spoke, it was visible that Kuang Yu’s face instantly darkened. It was blatantly obvious; anyone with eyes could see his emotional change. Jiang Wan isn’t foolish; she certainly noticed too. She felt a bit anxious, questioning whether she was being too hasty? The main reason, partly, is that Jiang Wan feels that her relationship with Kuang Yu wouldn’t last too long. Jiang Wan fears that once Kuang Yu returns to the provincial city in a few days, they would completely lose contact. How much thought Kuang Yu has put into her, how important he holds her, Jiang Wan knows all too well. Therefore, Jiang Wan thought deeply and decided to take a bold step. In her heart, actually, before leading Kuang Yu to the gold shop, Jiang Wan was quite anxious. After all, her intention was too obvious. The clothes and accessories bought the previous days were small money, but buying gold is no small sum. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 She thought that clothes, accessories, and bags might go out of style, but gold never goes out of style and can even be converted into cash. If in the future, she leaves Kuang Yu and doesn’t have much money, facing financial difficulty, she can turn gold into cash. But now, seeing Kuang Yu’s face, Jiang Wan suddenly panicked. Full of helplessness, she even regretted the decision she just made. Jiang Wan knows herself as someone who values money more than life. But for these reasons, if she can’t benefit from Kuang Yu yet, and he swiftly dumps her, it would be a tremendous loss. Being a mistress is naturally disgraceful. Jiang Wan has always kept this matter secret. Every time with Kuang Yu, walking in this town, Jiang Wan is exceptionally careful, afraid of being seen by acquaintances; she wouldn’t be able to explain. Therefore, even today walking inside the Department Store, she knows the probability of meeting people from her village is not high, yet Jiang Wan is very anxious. Because you never know, there might be people from the village who decide to drop by the Department Store to see if there are any deals, good and affordable items to buy. So every time she is framed together with Kuang Yu, Jiang Wan makes a point to dress up exquisitely. Kuang Yu is satisfied with this change, but he doesn’t realize that what Jiang Wan is doing, rather than dressing up, is disguising herself not to be recognized by acquaintances. Therefore, Jiang Wan now is entirely different from her previous image in the village. Even if those village acquaintances saw her, they probably wouldn’t recognize her because the change is too great. Jiang Wan is now conflicted over how to address the current predicament before her. Kuang Yu’s expression, his gloomy appearance, is clearly because she led him to the gold shop, and now he’s angry. But Jiang Wan thought about it and still felt somewhat indignant; she’s only been with Kuang Yu for a few days, this man is willing to spend money on her, but it’s always cheap trinkets. There’s not been any genuine valuable gift given to her, as someone greedy for money, how could Jiang Wan be content? The other day her family arranged for her brother a new partner and bought her sister-in-law a large gold bracelet, and half of the money came from Jiang Wan’s college scholarship. Originally, that money was intended as her living expenses for college. This really got Jiang Wan furious. Moreover, the money spent was hers, yet the gold bracelet is on someone else’s wrist, how could Jiang Wan possibly feel happy? She couldn’t find fairness at home, so she could only seek it from Kuang Yu. Jiang Wan feels her sister-in-law is the villain who snatched her money. In this way, if Kuang Yu could buy her a gold bracelet, then at least her heart could be somewhat soothed. Just as compensation. Thinking of this, Jiang Wan still felt she should be brave. Maybe Kuang Yu is upset because of other reasons, it’s possible. Anyway, she still needs to try to mention it; what if Kuang Yu, in a good mood, decides to buy her the large gold bracelet? Therefore, disregarding Kuang Yu’s expression, Jiang Wan chose outright to ignore his demeanor, tentatively she started to speak: "What’s wrong, Kuang Yu, why does your face look so grim? Did something happen?" "Actually, bringing you to the gold shop is not about spending a lot of your money, just felt that our relationship can’t be seen in daylight, I want to buy something enduring as a memento." "If you really are upset because of this, then I won’t buy it; I will certainly listen to you."
