Chapter 14 Nothing to Fuss Over
"You know quite a lot, kiddo."
Elder Su was naturally glad to have someone accompany him.
Especially when that someone was his most beloved grandson.
After practicing Tai Chi Fist, over an hour had passed by without them realizing it.
"Alright, Xiao Mu, go do something you enjoy, young man."
Elder Su naturally understood Su Mu's intentions.
He waved his hand, signaling that Su Mu needn't keep the old man company any longer.
"Grandpa, then you rest for a bit. I'm leaving."
With a dashing turn, Su Mu had decided that whenever he had time, he would come to keep grandpa company.
There was no need for excessively sentimental words.
"Old Master, the young master is really filial."
Watching Su Mu walk away, Ah Fook said sincerely.
The young master had returned to the castle for just two days, yet he could sense Elder Su's loneliness.
What a considerate and caring child indeed!
"Indeed, Xiao Mu has been raised well."
Elder Su understood that Su Mu's filial piety was genuine.
As the sole heir of the Su Family, Su Mu had no need to deliberately please Elder Su.
Su Mu's care was simply out of love for his family.
Su Mu hadn't expected such a simple act to touch his grandfather so deeply.
He had an appointment with Jiang Xinxuan at eleven in the morning.
Su Mu had a quick breakfast, changed into a new outfit, and had Xiao Wang drive him out.
Destination: Wanda Plaza.
At the entrance of Wanda Plaza, Jiang Xinxuan was already waiting there.
As soon as Su Mu got out of the car, he saw Jiang Xinxuan wearing the dress he had bought her the day before.
The form-fitting dress showcased Jiang Xinxuan's perfect figure in all its glory.
Perhaps for the comfort of shopping, Jiang Xinxuan hadn't worn the high heels matched specifically for yesterday.
She thoughtfully switched to a pair of fashionable sneakers in the same color scheme.
The whole look made her exceptionally beautiful and vibrantly lively.
Full marks!
Full marks for her face! Full marks for her figure!
Su Mu mentally gave Jiang Xinxuan his score.
It was the highest score he had ever given a girl so far.
Even the Ferrari beauty was only given a 10 because of the fancy car boost.
"Su Mu"
Seeing her boyfriend arrive, Jiang Xinxuan waved and called out.
The men around who had been eyeing Jiang Xinxuan, seeing the beauty greeting someone with an excited expression,
couldn't help but follow her gaze.
They were curious to see which fortunate guy had caught the attention of the beauty.
Seeing that the beauty's companion was a very handsome man.
And the Maybach behind him was even more luxurious!
They silently withdrew their gazes.
No wonder she was making a handsome guy wait!
Hadsome and rich, not something ordinary people can achieve.
Su Mu of course noticed the eyes circling Jiang Xinxuan.
He stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Jiang Xinxuan's slender waist.
Su Mu silently declared his sovereignty without a word.
No jealousy, just envious glances from the surrounding people.
There was no need to say much; the flashy Maybach had long made people aware of the gap between themselves and Su Mu.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just got here too."
Jiang Xinxuan was always very understanding.
Not wanting Su Mu to feel embarrassed, Jiang Xinxuan didn't mention that she had been waiting for almost half an hour.
"Sorry, there was a bit of a traffic jam."
Su Mu knew he was indeed late.
He patted Jiang Xinxuan's head and still offered an explanation.
"No worries, let's go in."
"You gave me a gift yesterday, today let me treat you to a big meal."
Jiang Xinxuan had been brought up well from a young age.
She didn't feel that just because Su Mu was her boyfriend, she could take it for granted to keep spending Su Mu's money unreservedly.
Jiang Xinxuan knew that with Su Mu's current net worth, that little bit of money was simply not a big deal.
However, Jiang Xinxuan felt that she should still make some gesture of gratitude.
Having received a gift from Su Mu, inviting him for a meal was her way of returning the favor.
Of course, these were not equivalent exchanges.
But the give-and-take was also a form of etiquette.
"Alright, then I'll make sure to eat my fill," Su Mu said with a laugh, not one to argue with Jiang Xinxuan.
Jiang Xinxuan chose a high-end Western restaurant.
The two ordered a couple's set meal with two additional desserts.
After the meal, it was naturally Jiang Xinxuan who paid the bill.
Su Mu knew that if he insisted on paying, his girlfriend would be unhappy.
"Xiao Xuan, where would you like to go shopping first?"
Their relationship had changed, and naturally, their names for each other had become more intimate.
Jiang Xinxuan shook her head; she had come out today purely as a companion.
"I'm up for anything you choose."
"Okay, let's go check out some watches," Su Mu suggested.
Cars and watches, symbols of a man's status.
Especially watches, they're the most important.
Cars can only be shown off while driving.
But watches are a man's constant accessory.
Su Mu was of age now, and with the changes in his net worth,
getting a watch fitting his status was a necessity.
Jiang Xinxuan, nestling against Su Mu's arm, followed him to the watch section looking very much like the perfect companion.
With a clear purpose, Su Mu headed straight for the Patek Philippe boutique.
Su Ruizhi wore a Patek Philippe watch, which Su Mu admired for its class; it was naturally his first choice.
"Welcome, sir, miss, would you like to see the men's or women's models?" the Patek Philippe sales associate greeted them with enthusiasm.
Looking at the clothes on Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan, the salesperson could tell they were big customers.
"Men's models," Su Mu responded.
Su Mu had noticed that Jiang Xinxuan always wore bracelets or bangles but never a watch.
She often changed her accessories, so he guessed she wasn't fond of watches, too formal for her youthful taste.
"Right this way, please," the associate offered.
Their intent was very clear.
The salesperson knew that the chance of closing a sale with these two was very high.
They led Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan to the men's display counter with enthusiasm.
"Sir, what style are you interested in?"
"I'll look for myself."
Su Mu didn't really know what style he wanted specifically.
He decided to go by what he liked at a glance.
"Alright, sir, miss, please take your time," the salesperson said, waiting quietly on the side.
"This one and that one, bring them to me for a look," Su Mu requested after a quick scan.
"Certainly, sir."
"Sir, these two models both belong to our Patek Philippe diamond-set series,"
"One is more sporty, the other more business-oriented."
"Which one do you prefer?"
The salesperson, with white gloves, took both watches from the display and laid them on a tray,
offering a brief introduction.
It was clear that Su Mu was very independent and didn't appreciate others imposing suggestions on him.
"Xiao Xuan, what do you think?"
Out with his girlfriend, Su Mu naturally wouldn't leave Jiang Xinxuan out of the decision process.
"They both look good; you decide," Jiang Xinxuan said, understanding Su Mu well enough to let him make his own choice.
"Then I'll take both," Su Mu concluded casually.
There was no need to hesitate; he liked them both, and Xiao Xuan had approved.
So why not just buy them both?
