A slight smile appeared on Mo Beihan's face.

It was true that in this era, someone only bought a girl a watch if they were about to get married. Like wedding rings, watches had a special meaning.

But… He just wanted to buy one for Yao Yao!

“Says who? Many people buy watches when they are about to get married, but that does not mean watches are only bought on such occasions. Do you understand? Many people wear watches when they go to work, but are still single.”

“You're still young, you won't be getting married for a few years! We'll buy one now, and if it is spoiled when the time comes to be married, we can always buy another!”

Gu Qingyao's little face turned red.

“Let's take this one. This one looks good!” Mo Beihan made the final decision.

He could tell that Yao Yao liked it very much.

“How much is it?” Mo Beihan asked.

The sales a.s.sistant smiled brilliantly. He was so rich!

This was her first time encountering someone who chose an imported watch before asking about the price.

“Five hundred and eighty dollars!”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

It was so expensive!

But Mo Beihan was not surprised. After all, he had bought one before. He briskly paid for it. This imported watch did not require coupons, just money.

Mo Beihan put the watch on Gu Qingyao's wrist. The exquisite and opulent watch face looked elegant and distinguished. It was beautiful!

Women in this era were not allowed to wear jewelry. A watch was the only thing they were allowed to wear, that was slightly nicer.

“Is there anything else you would like to buy?” asked Mo Beihan.

Gu Qingyao hurriedly replied. “No, no, don't buy anything else!”

Mo Beihan said, “I only come back once or twice every year. I seldom have time to return. My mother is in poor health, and I will need your help to take care of her in the future! It's only right that I buy a little something for you.”

Gu Qingyao refused to allow him to buy anything else, and Mo Beihan also had nothing else to buy. So he left with Gu Qingyao.

In fact, there were better things to be found in the departmental stores of the city. The selection was limited in a small town.

Mo Beihan was delighted that they had managed to obtain so many nice things on this trip, so he naturally bought more for Gu Qingyao.

His Yao Yao!

No matter how much he spoilt her in this life, it would never be enough!

Now that he had completed his purchases, Mo Beihan placed the basket, the big bag of wool, and the teapot on the back of the bicycle and tied them securely. Then he put Gu Qingyao in front, and brought her back to the Qing River Brigade.

The autumn wind blew softly as they pedaled. Mo Beihan's heart was filled with tenderness to be traveling with his darling girl.

Mo Beihan sent Gu Qingyao home, but did not go in. He handed the wool over to her and said, “Have a good rest at home for a couple of days. If you need anything, let me know and I'll buy it for you.”

Gu Qingyao looked at him and smiled sweetly. “Um!”

Mo Beihan looked at her indulgently, then pedaled away.

Gu Qingyao carried her big bag of things in. She thought for a while, then reached into her bag and put most of the best sheep's wool into the inters.p.a.ce. There were too many things here. If Gu Ruoqing spotted them, there would be trouble.

When she entered the courtyard, she saw Gu Yunshen cleaning the game by the well. Zhang Xiaohui was was.h.i.+ng the clothes. Gu Ruoqing was was.h.i.+ng the wild mushrooms she had brought back yesterday.

The moment Gu Qingyao entered, Gu Ruoqing and Zhang Xiaohui's eyes became fixed on the bag in her hand.
