Chapter 125: Chapter 122: It Must Be a Doomed Affinity

Li Si looked up at the sky silently, wondering what this guy was up to. Was he truly a backup sent by the Monkey King? Doing this again? Isn’t once a day enough? To be honest, she kind of enjoyed it at the time, but is this really okay? Would it really end up like Bai Shasha predicted, with things getting heated and then, well... that?

The mental image was too vivid to bear!

"Do I even need to say it? Can I make a request?" Li Si put her hands together in a prayer gesture.

"Speak!" Leng Mochen looked at her coldly to see what new trick she might have.

Li Si arranged her words, "It’s just that we’ve just confirmed our relationship, isn’t it developing a bit too fast with the intimacy and everything..."

"Are you suggesting that I keep a certain distance from you in order to express my affection? Hmm?" Leng Mochen seriously opposed this, as it was infringing on his rights, and must be guarded against!

"That’s not what I mean, just... can it not be so frequent?" Saying this made her face flush. Damn, what was she even saying? This could easily lead to misunderstandings.

"I see! Si, are you saying you want quality over quantity?" If that’s the case, he could reluctantly accept it, as he could lengthen the duration of each kiss while reducing the frequency.

Good gracious! What the hell are they discussing? Were she and he even talking about the same thing?

Li Si waved her hand helplessly, "Forget it, just pretend I never said anything!" This is tiring!

Leng Mochen tapped her wrinkled little nose, "Alright, let’s go eat!"

"Okay!" Li Si felt that she would go crazy if she continued discussing with him!

Sweet days always pass by quickly. Lately, she often found herself sighing, feeling like her brain cells were dying en masse while thinking about what gift to give him.

This birthday gift was really hard to choose. She wasn’t even sure what he liked, and when she asked Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan for suggestions, belts, ties, wallets, cufflinks, and tie clips were all vetoed by her! None seemed perfect!

Finally, Bai Shasha suggested ruthlessly, "Why not just serve yourself to him as the best birthday gift?" which earned her a punch from Li Si!

Poor choice of friends! But on second thought, it was an original idea, though maybe to be considered a year or two down the line! Right now it was way too early!

Li Si finally had a brainwave and came up with the idea of getting a men’s watch, although Leng Mochen’s wardrobe was already filled with famous watches, not one was from her!

The more she thought about it, the better the idea seemed. She quickly went online to do research and found, conveniently, that the top-ranked Patek Philippe watch was situated at No.18 Bund in Shanghai. She could hardly contain her excitement—it was like heaven was helping her.

Coincidentally, tomorrow was Saturday, and she planned to fly to Shanghai immediately! Only that way would she make it in time!

The Mo Si series cosmetics had been making waves since their launch, especially gaining fame after sponsoring a talent show on a satellite TV channel.

Sales were exceptionally booming, so Leng Mochen had been very busy lately. Except for when he was home in the evening without any social engagements, he was completely consumed by work.

That evening, it was rare for Leng Mochen to arrive home a bit past 5. He opened the villa’s main door, but it was all in darkness, unlike the usual lit-up rooms.

He switched on the main power, immediately illuminating all the lights, and picked up the phone to call her number. He was met by a mechanical female voice saying the phone was powered off!

After changing his shoes, he searched upstairs and downstairs but found no trace of Li Si. Feeling puzzled, where did that girl go?

When she was around, he didn’t notice, but now being alone, the villa felt exceptionally empty!

Leng Mochen frowned, browsing the numbers, his finger hovering over Bai Shasha’s contact number. Hesitating briefly, he made the call!

On the other end, it was quickly picked up, "Hello, Brother Leng!"

"Hmm! Is Li Si with you?" he asked directly.

Bai Shasha paused, "No! She’s not home? Maybe she went out shopping. Don’t worry, Brother Leng; I’ll try helping you find her and call you back!"

"Alright!" He twirled the phone in his hand, a flicker of worry in his eyes—where on earth could she be?

Meanwhile, Li Si was standing at the doorstep of the Patek Philippe store at No.18 Bund. Looking at the not-so-large storefront, she walked in, finding it split into two areas inside, exuding understated luxury with exquisitely detailed watches on display.

Several sales staff and security personnel were distributed throughout the store. A tall, young girl with her hair in a bun and light makeup approached with courtesy. "Hello! Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Si felt a pleasant impression of her, giving a slight smile, "I want to choose a watch as a birthday gift for my boyfriend! Any recommendations?"

The sales associate became even more enthusiastic, politely taking out a men’s watch with a deep brown strap from the counter and began to introduce it in detail.

"This is one for you to consider, the Ref.5712R in 18K rose gold, featuring a hand-stitched alligator strap and fold-over clasp in brown or matte black.

It shows hours and minutes, with an auxiliary seconds dial at 4 o’clock, a power reserve indicator between 10 and 11 o’clock, and a date hand and moon phase display at 7 o’clock.

The case is a three-part design with a sapphire crystal case back, a screwed-down crown, and a moon phase correction button on the side. Its water resistance is rated at 60 meters.

The movement uses Patek Philippe’s self-winding caliber 240PSIRMCLU, achieving a thickness of only 3.98mm despite its complicated design, thanks to its embedded 22K gold mini-rotor in the baseplate."

Listening and nodding along, Li Si didn’t understand much of the professional terms, but at first glance, she liked it. She casually asked, "How much is this one?"

"This one is priced at 380,000 yuan!" The sales associate cautiously watched her expression, noting she didn’t seem like someone very wealthy judging by her attire.

Li Si thought for a moment, "Do you have any other models to show me? If I don’t like the others, I’ll go with this one!" She wasn’t sure what kind Leng Mochen would like, so she wanted to see a few to choose from.

As she focused intently on the various men’s watches in the showcase, a familiar voice suddenly called out from behind, "Oh, who do we have here? It’s you, Li Si! What are you doing causing trouble here? This is a luxury store; can you even afford anything?"

Li Si turned to see her nemesis, Ye Duowei—what a coincidence that they would meet here. Their fateful connection was certainly a nuisance! (To be continued.
