Could they really give away such expensive items as free gifts?
What if Auntie Zhao purposely bought them as gifts for her husband? However, looking at the style of this watch, it definitely doesn’t match Uncle Pan; it doesn’t seem like his taste. Han Lie’s emotions fluctuated greatly as many thoughts raced through his mind. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the sheer impressiveness of his father-in-law that had broken through his defenses. In the end, he had simply seen too little. Rebirth and the system were only a foundation; before developing to that level, it was hard to truly appreciate the landscape of that stratum. This wasn’t Han Lie’s fault; rather, it served as another kind of motivation. Work hard, work hard, and one day sit on equal footing with my father-in-law!
Han Lie chanted these slogans in his heart and, at the same time, made a decision.
"Uncle Pan, whether you like them or not, whether you care or not, these four watches are too valuable. I won’t beat around the bush with you; I really do like them. But, as the saying goes, ’A gentleman loves wealth but acquires it through righteous means.’"
Han Lie picked up the LV watch and then closed the watch box.
"How about this: I’ll keep one, and you can keep the other three. Let’s not make things difficult for each other, okay?"
Uncle Pan laughed heartily, ignoring the watch box pushed in front of him, and instead patted Han Lie’s shoulder firmly.
"Alright, then I’ll keep them for you. She’s my only daughter; sooner or later, everything will be yours!"
With that one statement, Han Lie was once again backed into a corner.
Wouldn’t any other young man be moved to tears, doing everything in his power to make Pan Ge happy? If I treat his ’little padded jacket’ well, the father-in-law is really damn generous... If I make a move every few days, who would still be thinking about Xi Luting? Panzi... he’s someone you can deal with, but he’s far too cunning. However, I have my own ideas—I’ll lick the sugar-coating clean, but I’ll send the ’cannonball’ back via Pan Ge eventually. To think they could tie me down with just these gestures, what a joke!
After some lighthearted banter, Han Lie glanced at the watch on his wrist. Mm, looking sharp!
He immediately excused himself awkwardly, "Uncle Pan, I can’t keep you company any longer; it’s almost time for my appointment with my coach."
Uncle Pan was very agreeable and led the way out of the room first.
"You go on! Exercise is important... Oh, and ask Pan Ge if she’s interested; you can bring her along!"
Pan Ge couldn’t care less about fitness, showing no enthusiasm whatsoever for working out. However, she was very interested in Han Lie’s fitness routine.
After some thought, she nodded. "Then I’ll go with Han Lie and take a look."
Zhao Anni smiled with immense kindness and warmth, calling out to Han Lie, "Han, you keep an eye on Pan Ge. At the very least, make her run a few steps. She’s so lethargic all day long. She’s still young, but her little belly is already starting to stick out."
Pan Ge’s face flushed red with anger on the spot. Fınd the newest release on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
She inhaled, sucked in her stomach, tightened her glutes, and pinched her waist with her small hand, revealing a figure as slender as a willow.
"My waist is twenty-three inches!"
Zhao Anni pursed her lips and shooed her away. "Go change your clothes quickly; don’t keep Han waiting!"
She stormed upstairs.
And so, Han Lie had to wait an extra 20 minutes. Luckily, Uncle Pan had arranged for a car; otherwise, they would have definitely been late.
Today, Han Lie and Lious had arranged to meet at 8 o’clock, two hours later than usual, but it didn’t affect much. Lious was a good coach, but MW’s positioning was a bit too high-end, and the difficulty level was quite challenging, so there weren’t many customers.
When Han Lie and Pan Ge entered, the spacious gym only had a few foreign clients.
The moment Lisa saw Pan Ge, she gave Han Lie a thumbs-up.
"WOW! Han, is this your girlfriend? She’s really beautiful!"
Lisa’s reaction was quite normal. The little flirtation she’d had with Han Lie before was more like joking and teasing; foreigners are very open about these things and don’t take them too seriously.
However, when Pan Ge saw Lisa’s attractive features and impressive physique, she shot Han Lie another vicious glare.
You dog! You’re really something, flirting around everywhere!
She didn’t say anything, appearing rather reserved, but her eyes clearly conveyed that sentiment.
Han Lie felt wronged and aggrieved. "Can’t you think something good of me? I’m usually very well-behaved. That time with you... that was my first kiss!"
"PAH!" Pan Ge’s pretty face turned a slight red. "I’d have to be a fool to believe you! You were so skilled..."
"Can’t a person just be naturally gifted?"
Han Lie got worked up and swore a harsh oath, "I swear, if that wasn’t my first kiss with you, may I immediately lose four inches!"
Holy crap! Isn’t that a bit too extreme?
Pan Ge was dumbfounded, her shock overpowering her shyness.
"Alright, alright, I believe you! Just don’t go acting indecently in public!"
She wasn’t just brushing him off; she truly believed him. So, she quickly tried to soothe Han Lie, not wanting him to explain any further.
Why discuss such things in front of others...? Aside from feeling shy, there was a little thrill in her heart. Ha, although that dog of a guy is a bit of a flirt, his actions are still quite restrained! It was the first kiss for both of us... TEEHEE!
Han Lie was also secretly amused. He realized that the current Pan Ge wasn’t much different from ordinary girls; she was quite easy to coax.
Nineteen years old... so nice.
Han Lie didn’t dare to chat too deeply with Lisa and simply told her, "This is my good friend. She came to accompany me for my workout and to experience it."
Then Pan Ge became unhappy again.
When Han Lie started his warm-up exercises, she quietly asked, "Just good friends? We’ve held hands, kissed, and even met your parents. Think again, what should our relationship be?"
Good grief, what’s with all of you? One by one, why is everyone so eager to get a title and make things official...?
Han Lie didn’t answer directly but countered with a question, "Do you really want to be my girlfriend? You need to think it through. After we start dating, it won’t just be kissing; we’d have to do... you know..."
