How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 72: Chapter 70: Because Love is Essentially a Luxury

Chen Hao was still replaying the conversation between Gu Heng and Lin Jiayun, although he didn't have the financial strength and confidence to say the kind of things Gu Heng did, perhaps one day he might strike it rich too?

It never hurts to learn a bit more.

You never know when it might come in handy.

"Manager Chen."

While Chen Hao was driving and mentally rehearsing, Gu Heng's voice rang out.

Slowing down slightly, Chen Hao quickly responded, "What is it, Mr. Gu?"

"Let's not go back to the hotel just yet; head to the nearest shopping mall instead."

Having received Gu Heng's instructions, Chen Hao didn't hesitate; he quickly changed course and drove towards the nearest luxury mall, already guessing what Gu Heng had planned and not daring to delay his important business.

Even Chen Hao could guess, and of course, Lin Jiayun understood as well; she held onto Gu Heng's arm with a slight tremble, trying to stabilize her emotions and feigned ignorance, "What are we going to the shopping mall for?"

"Didn't you want to know how much you could get from me?"

With Gu Heng's affirmation, Lin Jiayun, although mentally prepared, couldn't help feeling excited...

Gu Heng appeared calm, but his excitement was no less than Lin Jiayun's.

For Lin Jiayun, Gu Heng taking her to the shopping mall was a gain; for him, wasn't it the same?

In the past, he had only dreamed of using money to smash open the hearts of those aloof goddesses and have them blissfully submit beneath him, but after all, it was just a thought.

Now that he finally had the chance to make it a reality, how could he not be excited?

In just a few minutes, Chen Hao had driven his Audi A8L to the Hangcheng Tower Shopping Mall.

....

After giving Chen Hao a few instructions, Gu Heng proceeded into the building with Lin Jiayun.

At this moment, Lin Jiayun had completely opened her heart, hanging onto Gu Heng's arm with a joyful smile on her face...

To those unaware of the circumstances, the pair just looked like a couple deeply in love.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Gu Heng, tilting his head down slightly, gazed at Lin Jiayun, who was smiling and nestled in his arms, and slowly spoke.

Having loosened up completely, Lin Jiayun was no longer reserved. After a moment of thought, her eyes turned towards a sparkling ice blue on Gu Heng's left wrist, and then, with a hesitant tone, she slowly said, "Could I have a watch?"

"Let's go."

With that, he led her through the main entrance.

A few minutes later, they entered a Cartier flagship store.

Actually, the Hangcheng Tower Shopping Mall had many luxury watch brands like Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, and Patek Philippe, and Gu Heng saw the counters, but he didn't just rush in impulsively to show off.

Chapter Enjoy:

Gu Heng didn't answer her but asked the sales associate how much it was, "How much is this one?"

"This is our Cartier Blue Balloon series model WJBB0081, the official price is 214,000 yuan."

It seemed this price was specifically chosen by Lin Jiayun.

Just last night Gu Heng had transferred 200,000 yuan to her, and she also knew that she was only worth that much in Gu Heng's heart for the time being.

Gu Heng nodded slightly, and then confirmed with Lin Jiayun again, "Is this the one?"

Seeing her quickly nod as if pecking at grains with her head, Gu Heng didn't waste words and immediately handed over the bank card he had just activated that morning to the sales associate, "Swipe the card."

"Yes, sir!"

The sales associate, smiling like a blooming flower, eagerly took the bank card and started the transaction process after half an hour of effort.

Lin Jiayun watched as the sales associate gently swiped Gu Heng's card on the POS machine, and as it chimed "Transaction Successful," she felt her whole body go limp, then gazed at Gu Heng's face as if her eyes could spin silk...

The sound of "transaction completed" marked not just the purchase of a watch.

It was also the completion of the transaction between her and Gu Heng.

After packaging the 214,000 yuan watch, the sales associate carefully presented it to Lin Jiayun with a beaming smile, "I hope your relationship can be like what our Cartier watch slogan says, 'After so much time, you're still my loved one,' and continue to love each other fresh as ever."

Lin Jiayun smiled as she took the gift bag, listening to the sales associate's wishes, feeling a strange sensation inside...

Was what she and Gu Heng had real love?

By normal standards, definitely not.

But it seemed to qualify...

Isn't adult love all about weighing pros and cons, being rational yet realistic?

By that count, it seemed she really was in a romantic relationship with Gu Heng.

Amusing herself with this thought, she felt much relieved as they left the store, even joking with Gu Heng.

"Gu Heng, do you know why luxury brands' taglines are all about love?"

"Because love itself is a luxury."

As an experienced internet user, Gu Heng of course knew what the next line was.

In the past, he only saw it as a meme, but now...

After experiencing it firsthand, he realized it wasn't just a meme; it damn well made sense...

Wasn't love just like those luxury goods displayed in store windows?

Unattainable for the common folk, freely given and taken by the wealthy...

"Gu Heng, where are we going now?"

"Salary has been paid; there's work to be done, right?"
