After saying that, Xiang Xiaoyuan had to continue, “Just now during the day, you said that I broke a watch of yours.”

Lu Wanggui came to a realization. “So you couldn’t eat because of this?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed. “Yes, I feel a little guilty.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly got up from the bed in sadness when she thought of the huge debt she had raked up when drunk. She said in frustration, “If I had known earlier, I would never have drunk. I will never touch alcohol again!”

She gritted her teeth after saying that.

She would never be friends with alcohol again in this life! This time, she had broken Lu Wanggui’s watch. Who knew what kind of trouble she would be in the next time she got drunk? Therefore, she wanted to eliminate the possibility of getting into debt again!

When Lu Wanggui heard her words, he could not help but think of all the things that had happened after she got drunk. Xiang Xiaoyuan saw that he had not said anything, and the expression on his face was still very strange. She did not quite understand it. However, she had to admit her mistake. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. I troubled you to pick me up and bring me home. I even smashed your watch. Don’t worry…”

Usually, the phrase “don’t worry” should be followed by “I’ll compensate you.” However, Xiang Xiaoyuan opened her mouth a few times but did not say anything.

Once she said that, she would be in a debt of tens of millions!

It was too painful!

Lu Wanggui knew that he should stop there. He looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan with a gentle gaze. “It’s okay. It’s just a health monitoring watch that was just developed to be tested.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly raised her head. “Health monitoring watch?”

Although this kind of watch was expensive, based on her knowledge, it would not cost a fortune!

Lu Wanggui nodded. “Yes, it’s a watch that hasn’t been released yet. It’s mainly used to monitor people’s health. It’s suitable for office workers who are under a lot of pressure at work and some middle-aged and elderly people. The price isn’t high either. The developer is a friend of mine. I invested in his project. Two days ago, when the product came out, he sent a piece over for me to try and provide some data.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was slightly relieved and asked tentatively, “How much is it? Will it be very expensive?”

Lu Wanggui couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course not. It’s meant to be affordable.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart lifted!

This was what a silver lining looked like!

Just when she thought that she would have to work forever to pay off her debts, she was told that she had only smashed a piece of an affordable health monitoring watch. Xiang Xiaoyuan seemed to have come back from the dead, and her lifeless eyes were full of vigor. She looked radiant. She patted her thighs and promised, “It’s fine. It’s just a watch. I’ll compensate you when it goes on sale! Oh right, how much is that watch supposed to cost?”

Lu Wanggui thought for a moment, “I don’t know, but I reckon it won’t be more than a thousand.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded and said generously, “Alright, I’ll buy it for you when it goes on sale. I’ll buy them in seven different colors so that you can wear a different one every day!” At this point, she added guiltily, “Provided that the watch doesn’t cost more than 1,000 yuan. If it does, I’ll only buy you one. I’m so poor that I can’t afford to buy too much.”

Lu Wanggui revealed a helpless smile. “You’re poor?”

He wasn’t sorry for joking around with her. After all, he had been tormented by her all night yesterday. The only thing he felt sorry for was that he had scared her for so long that she wasn’t even in the mood to eat dinner.

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”

To be honest, thinking about the balance in her bank card, she didn’t seem to be poor.

So, she explained honestly, “I thought the watch that I smashed was very expensive. Although I’m not really poor, I really can’t afford the kind of watch that you wear.”

Lu Wanggui couldn’t help but laugh. “I won’t really ask you to pay, but your words reminded me.” After saying that, he took out his wallet from his pocket. He handed her a card from the waller. “I’m sorry. I was too busy with work earlier and forgot to give you this.”

When Xiang Xiaoyuan received it, she lowered her head to take a look. It wasn’t a black card. She looked at Lu Wanggui blankly and asked, “What’s this?”

“My pay slip.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”

This man could lie without blinking. The boss of a company still had a pay slip?

She had to ask when she was doubtful and expressed her shock, “You still get a salary?”

“Yes.”

Lu Wanggui nodded. “I worked in a senior’s company when I was in university. Later, when I started my business, the senior did not let me resign. I continued to hold a position in the company as a business consultant..”
