Chapter 5: Buying for My Girlfriend
Beautiful sights always pass in an instant. Once the pendant was taken out, the soft snowy mounds it rested on were no longer visible.
“Hiss!”
This woman was amazing! With her proportions, if he buried his “extraordinary talent” in there, would it disappear entirely?
Cao Shaoyang felt an urge to get to know this charming “auntie.”
An Yu Wei placed the pendant on a mannequin neck and slid it toward Cao Shaoyang.
“Little brother, you can take a closer look yourself,” she said sweetly, pulling him back to reality.
“Mm, thank you.”
He had already thought the pendant looked beautiful through the display case. Now that it was up close, it matched his tastes even more.
An Yu Wei brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear and enthusiastically described the pendant’s material and symbolism. Then, with an air of nonchalance, she asked, “Little brother, are you planning to give this to someone?”
Cao Shaoyang replied casually, “It’s beautiful, and I like it. I’m planning to give it to my girlfriend.”
“Giggle! Little brother, you’re quite the romantic, huh? So young, and you already have a girlfriend. She must feel lucky to have such a handsome and thoughtful boyfriend.”
Cao Shaoyang smiled warmly. “Thank you!”
“But,” An Yu Wei said thoughtfully, “I feel like this necklace might not suit a young girl your age. It’s a piece that requires a certain maturity to bring out its unique charm.”
She gestured toward a nearby display. “We have some jewelry more suitable for young girls. Would you like to take a look?”
“Oh? Really?”
Cao Shaoyang responded absentmindedly, but his gaze never left the pendant in front of him.
He was very satisfied. This was it. He had already made up his mind in his heart.
Even so, he politely shifted his attention to the pieces she was recommending. Most were simple platinum designs without too much embellishment. While they were understated and elegant, they had a playful charm that suited young girls.
He glanced at them briefly but lost interest quickly. After all, he wasn’t really buying for a young girl. The pendant was meant for his stepmom, and given her age and demeanor, the one he had chosen suited her perfectly.
Still, he appreciated the saleswoman’s thoughtfulness. The pieces she recommended were all reasonably priced, mostly a few hundred yuan. The most expensive one barely crossed 1,000 yuan.
In contrast, the pendant he had set his sights on was priced at 12,888 yuan, likely because of the jade centerpiece. She probably assumed a young guy like him wouldn’t have much pocket money and didn’t want to embarrass him by suggesting something expensive.
This “sisterly auntie” was quite considerate!
“Thanks,” Cao Shaoyang said, “but these pieces don’t really match my girlfriend.”
An Yu Wei tilted her head and asked curiously, “They don’t? Then let me recommend a few more options.”
She turned to grab some other jewelry but was stopped by Cao Shaoyang.
“Thank you, sister, but my girlfriend is a bit older, so the youthful styles you’re showing don’t really suit her. Maybe you could recommend something else?”
“Older?” An Yu Wei blinked, caught off guard. The first thought that popped into her mind was a scene of a wealthy older woman spoiling a young “boy toy.”
[senior rich woman adopting a young little puppy]
When Cao Shaoyang saw the strange look in her eyes, he immediately knew she had misunderstood.
He quickly added, “Yes, 35—about the same age as you, I think.”
Although not quite the 50-something wealthy auntie she had imagined, the age gap of over a decade still surprised An Yu Wei. She hadn’t expected this handsome young man to be into “older women.”
His unique preference left her feeling a bit flustered. The memory of his earlier, unblinking gaze at her chest flashed in her mind, and she couldn’t help but blush.
What a unique taste this young man had.
Snapping herself out of her wandering thoughts, she refocused on her task.
“Ah, oh! My apologies. Then let me recommend a few more options for you,” An Yu Wei said.
“But if your girlfriend is in the same age range as me, the pendant you picked out is indeed quite suitable.”
“Yes! I’ll go with that one. But if there are others I like, I’ll buy those as well.”
An Yu Wei’s mouth opened slightly in surprise as she stared at the young man. That was a five-figure pendant, and he bought it so casually. Were students these days really this wealthy?
Despite her surprise, the thought of her soon-to-be-earned commission—and possibly even more from additional sales—filled An Yu Wei with excitement.
This time, she didn’t worry about saving him money or whether he could afford it. Her eyes shifted toward the store’s other high-end pieces, all priced in the five-figure range.
If she could close another big sale like this…
