Chapter 345 - 173: Shen Qingying Can Never Leave Chen Mo in This Life

Chapter 345: Chapter 173: Shen Qingying Can Never Leave Chen Mo in This Life

But alas, she could only dream.

She was very clear about where she stood.

Compared to the average woman, she was definitely a beauty.

But compared to Shen Qingying, she was completely and utterly outclassed.

Chen Mo was already keeping a beautiful Canary like Shen Qingying. Why would he even give her a second look?

Her boyfriend was a second-generation rich kid from a family that had some money, but not a lot.

He was also the type with no real skills or ambition of his own.

His family gave him his living allowance, and on top of that, she wasn’t the only woman he was spending it on.

Compared to a self-made man like Chen Mo, they weren’t even in the same dimension financially.

The gap was just too, too wide.

But there was nothing she could do. He was the best she could find.

Just like her boyfriend—didn’t he wish he could be with someone like Shen Qingying?

But he didn’t have what it took, so he could only settle for her.

Whereas for a man with real power like Chen Mo, a woman like Shen Qingying would actively seek him out.

"Right away, sir."

Wearing white silk gloves, the sales associate took out the diamond-set Ballon Bleu ladies’ watch.

"Try it on."

Chen Mo had Shen Qingying put the shopping bags on the floor to try on the watch.

"Darling, this watch is too expensive..."

A hint of hesitation appeared on Shen Qingying’s delicate and pretty face. She turned to Chen Mo, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion.

She had overheard her senior saying she wanted to buy the basic Ballon Bleu watch, and even then, her senior’s boyfriend had seemed reluctant.

And yet, Chen Mo was having her try on the diamond-set version without a second thought. For the first time, she was viscerally feeling the difference between patrons.

"If I’m buying it for you, you take it."

Chen Mo didn’t bother discussing whether it was expensive or not.

’Is a watch that costs nearly 100,000 expensive?’

’Of course it is.’

’But he was in a good mood. Shen Qingying made him feel satisfied and happy, and if he was willing to spend the money, then it wasn’t expensive.’

’Conversely, if Shen Qingying had displeased him, then even something worth 10,000 would have been too expensive.’

"Mhm, thank you, Darling~"

Hearing this, Shen Qingying gave Chen Mo a radiant smile, then tilted her head up slightly and planted a kiss on his cheek.

She understood what Chen Mo meant. She should listen to him; if he bought her something, she was to accept it.

But she also mentally added a second half to Chen Mo’s rule.

’Accept what he buys for you, and don’t bring up what he doesn’t.’

’If there was something she wanted that Chen Mo didn’t buy for her, she would just use her allowance to buy it herself.’

"Ma’am, shall I help you put it on?"

The sales associate took out the watch and helped Shen Qingying fasten it onto her slender, pale wrist.

Shen Qingying rotated her wrist, her beautiful eyes filled with adoration as she looked at the watch.

The pink dial, the blue hands, and the crown on the right, set with a blue sapphire.

And then there were the sparkling chip diamonds encircling the dial.

The overall look was exquisite and beautiful, and it looked gorgeous on her wrist.

"Do you like it?"

Chen Mo smiled as he watched her and asked.

"I love it!"

Shen Qingying nodded repeatedly without hesitation, unable to hide the adoration in her eyes.

"Alright. Just wear it. We’ll pay," Chen Mo said, nodding to the sales associate.

"Of course, sir. This way, please."

The sales associate immediately led Chen Mo to the register.

Soon, Chen Mo had paid and received the receipt.

The sales associate also packed up the box for her.

"Let’s go."

Chen Mo picked up the shopping bags and walked out of the store.

"Senior, I’m heading out now. I’ll message you on WeChat when I have time."

After saying goodbye to her senior, Shen Qingying followed Chen Mo out.

The senior watched Shen Qingying’s graceful retreating figure with an incredibly complex expression, her eyes full of envy.

Women love to compare themselves to each other. Even though she knew she couldn’t compete, she couldn’t help but make the subconscious comparison.

She had entered the store first, but now they had already made their purchase and left while she was still here.

And they had bought the diamond-set version, which cost more than twice as much as the one she was looking at.

"AHEM... I’ll go pay."

Her boyfriend was also a bit embarrassed, letting out a couple of involuntary coughs.

He was indeed far out of Chen Mo’s league. He was afraid even his own father couldn’t compare to Chen Mo’s power.

That’s why Chen Mo could land a girl like Shen Qingying, while he could only land her senior.

You could only say that for each of them, the other was the person they had to settle for.

After leaving Cartier, Chen Mo bought her some beauty products.

Things like cosmetics, skincare, and face masks.

All of it was high-end stuff. A single set from La Mer, for example, cost five or six thousand.

But he was willing to spend the money. If her skin was better protected and her makeup was more refined...

...then he was the one who benefited.

A woman makes herself beautiful for the one who appreciates her. Buying her these beauty products was all to make her more pleasing to his eye.

After they were done with the beauty section, Chen Mo felt it was about enough.

’There’s still plenty of time in the future. If she needs anything else, she can just go buy it herself.’

"Let’s head back."

Chen Mo glanced at her.

"Mhm."

Shen Qingying nodded obediently.

’Usually, it was the boyfriend who got tired of shopping first.’

’But in her case, she was the one who wanted to stop.’

’After Chen Mo had bought her so many things, she couldn’t imagine what kind of kinks she would have to indulge to repay him.’

’If it was something too perverted, she didn’t know if she could handle it.’

Back in the underground garage, Chen Mo put some of the shopping bags in the back seat and the trunk.

Just as he finished, he saw Shen Qingying’s senior and her boyfriend walking down as well.

Their car happened to be parked in the space right across from them.

"Qingying, is this... your car?"

The senior asked in surprise, her eyes on the white, unlicensed Panamera. She remembered what Shen Qingying had told her earlier.

"It’s Darling’s car. He just lets me drive it."

Shen Qingying shook her head slightly, offering her senior an explanation.

Just as Chen Mo had told Manager Liu, she was very smart and knew her place.
