Opening the box, to my surprise there was a watch inside, with a white dial, black strap, and shimmering crushed diamonds all around. Sheng Ning's eyes widened in astonishment as she looked at him.
"Do you like it?" Su Huai'an asked nervously.
"Yeah!" This watch, even if placed thirty years later, wouldn't be outdated at all. The market was tight now, and being able to buy a Meihua Watch in the country was a status symbol. The one Su Huai'an gave was clearly a foreign brand, unavailable domestically.
"This was just brought back from the UK by a classmate of mine. I noticed you didn't have a watch, so it's perfect to give to you!"
"Thanks, it's too expensive, you shouldn't have!"
"No problem!" Su Huai'an had intended to ask about Xu Qigang, but fearing to upset her, he held back the last word. When saying goodbye and leaving, he especially entrusted, "I'm heading back to the compound first. Have Chen Huaying come to the compound to find me once she's done here."
