Chapter: 3078
Charlie Wade smiled as he blew out the candles, following Xiao Churan’s lead while she sang.
Afterward, she said, “My husband, close your eyes! I have a gift for you!”
Charlie nodded and gently closed his eyes. Xiao Churan carefully took a gift box from behind her and placed it in his hands. “Okay, open your eyes!” she said with a smile.
When Charlie looked down, he saw a watch box. He recognized the simple English letters on it: Patek Philippe. Surprised, he looked at Xiao Churan and asked, “Wife, why did you buy me such an expensive gift?”
Blushing a little, Xiao Churan replied, “It’s not that expensive! Just open it and see if you like it.”
Charlie nodded and opened the box. Inside lay a beautiful Patek Philippe Nautilus watch.
Xiao Churan spoke softly, “This Nautilus is considered an entry-level style for Patek Philippe. Once I finish the Emgrand Group project and settle all the payments, I promise to buy you an even better one!”
Charlie quickly responded, “My dear wife, this Nautilus alone has gone up in price by at least half a million! It’s too much! Please don’t buy me such an expensive watch again. A good mechanical watch doesn’t need to tell time better than a phone!”
Xiao Churan smiled and said, “But it’s not just about telling time. Men wear watches for their style and presence. Nowadays, many men have multiple watches to match different outfits for various occasions. I want you to look good, especially since your clients are wealthy people.”
“I don’t even wear a watch. I think my wife is hesitant to buy one for you!”
When Charlie Wade heard this, he felt touched. He smiled and said, “Thank you, wife! You are so thoughtful.”
Ma Lan, who was nearby, was surprised and exclaimed, “Really? A watch like that costs over half a million! Is it even worth it?!”
Xiao Churan replied seriously, “Mom, this is a classic model. It’s expensive everywhere, not just in China.”
Ma Lan put her hand on her heart and said, “It’s like wearing a BMW on your wrist!”
Xiao Churan laughed and added, “If that’s the case, then it’s like wearing a luxury villa on your wrist!”
Charlie Wade said earnestly, “My wife, just buy the watch. No need to buy another one in the future.”
Xiao Churan smiled and said, “Whether I buy another one depends on my mood and if I can make money. You don’t get a say in that!”
Charlie Wade chuckled and nodded, “Alright, I’ll go along with you.”
Xiao Churan grinned and said, “Now that sounds better!”
Then she quickly took out the watch and said to Charlie Wade, “Let me help you put it on. You should wear it every day from now on. Don’t take it off after just a few days!”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Of course! If it’s from my wife, I’ll wear it every day!”
Xiao Churan nodded and admired the watch on Charlie Wade’s wrist. “It looks great! It’s low-key yet classy, much better than those flashy gold watches that some people like. Husband, don’t take it off! Wear it when you go to the concert!”
