My Wife is a Beautiful CEO

Its mediocracy, bulkiness, and inability to stand out, pales in comparison to its true magnificence that lies beneath.

Yang Chen noticed that Lin Ruoxi was spacing out while staring at the watch. “Still miss the diamond ring?”

Lin Ruoxi turned towards him pouting. “Stop teasing me like that. Im not familiar with watches. The Patek Philippe carvings are so tiny, theres no way you can see them if you dont pay attention.

“If I knew how valuable it was, I wouldnt have just tossed it into my bag. You didnt even tell me beforehand. I actually thought you randomly got me something as compensation.”

Yang Chen replied, “The other day I tried to explain it to you but you didnt want to listen. You slammed the door shut and told me you wouldnt listen to any dumb explanations, what other choice did I have?”

Lin Ruoxi realized it was her fault, but nonetheless pouted coyly as she taunted, “I dont care, its all your fault. You shouldve just told me you had something for me first. If you did, I wouldve listened to what you have to say. I was so mad at you that day.”

Yang Chen was speechless as he replied with a chain ofoks, eventually cracking a smile on Lin Ruoxis face.

He then looked at Lin Ruoxi cautiously wrapping the watch with sheets of tissues, which prompted Yang Chen to add, “You really dont have to overthink its value. Ive given it to you, now its yours. Just leave it in your bag. Anytime you feel like checking the time or the date just give it a look, you dont have to intentionally store it.”

“What… I cant do that! This is expensive. If I break it the avid watch collectors would hate me!” Lin Ruoxi said with a frown.

Yang Chen shook his head. “Why should they care? Its yours. Just use it like any other watch. Its not an antique and its not meant to be kept as such, it has a life of its own.”

Lin Ruoxi immediately recalled something and questioned, “Oh yeah, the present you told me about before, did you mean… this watch?”

Yang Chen quickly denied. “What, of course not. If it was this watch why would I get all mysterious about it? The gift is still underway. Youll get it this year I promise, and I never break my promises.”

Lin Ruoxis heartbeat accelerated. What could it possibly be that requires such a long preparation? she thought.

“Arent you curious as to why I gave you this watch?” Yang Chen asked out of nowhere.
