CHAPTER 18: CHAPTER 18: WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE PUTTING ON A...

"Actually, there’s no need to make it so complicated," Jiang Jingming suddenly said.

Sang Yu looked up at him, puzzled, "What?"

"I mean, if you want him to repay the money, it’s not that complicated." You just need to ask me, and I can help you.

Sang Yu understood the underlying meaning of his words and said, "Why use a bull’s knife to kill a chicken? Besides, you’re a policeman, you can’t do such things."

She knew that if he intervened, they would definitely get the money back in one go.

But it’s better not to get Jiang Jingming involved in such matters.

After all, it’s not very honorable.

That family can pull all sorts of tricks, and if they cause a scene at Jiang Jingming’s precinct...

It would affect his work.

It’s better for someone without a job like her to handle it.

Hearing Sang Yu’s words, Jiang Jingming felt somewhat happy; turns out she’s considering him.

The corners of his lips couldn’t help but lift.

Suddenly, he found the food at the state-owned restaurant quite delicious today.

After eating, Sang Yu asked Jiang Jingming to accompany her to the shopping mall.

Jiang Jingming followed the principle of "speak less, do more" and went in with Sang Yu.

Sang Yu first bought some gifts.

She truly planned to visit relatives, as last time she overslept and was impolite.

This time is a visit to apologize.

"Besides your uncle and aunt, are there any other relatives?" Sang Yu asked.

Jiang Jingming shook his head, "No, just my uncle and aunt, a cousin named Jiang Chunhe, and a cousin named Jiang Lan."

"Has your cousin gotten married?" Sang Yu asked.

"Yes."

"Do they have children?"

"Not yet."

"How old is Jiang Lan?"

"Twelve."

Twelve?

That must be the little girl who brought food last time.

Thinking about the little girl, she’s in school at this age.

Sang Yu bought some supplements for the uncle and aunt, a set of skincare products for the cousin.

Got Jiang Lan a new backpack and a set of new clothes.

"Comrade, the total is 357 yuan, two cloth coupons, three grain coupons, three industrial coupons."

Sang Yu took out the money and coupons from her pocket and handed them to the cashier.

The cashier curiously glanced at the man behind Sang Yu.

With a peculiar look, as if saying what kind of good man lets a woman pay.

Sang Yu checked her purchases without paying attention to the cashier’s look,

Jiang Jingming noticed but didn’t mind; all his money was with Sang Yu.

Except for yesterday, he took some money to buy those appliances.

The only thing left in his pockets now is air.

Sang Yu looked up and saw the cashier was watching them, "What’s wrong? Not enough money?"

"It’s enough, it’s enough," the cashier quickly returned Sang Yu’s change.

"Here’s your 3 yuan change."

Sang Yu took the money, and Jiang Jingming naturally lifted the items up.

"Let’s go."

Jiang Jingming, "Alright."

The cashier watched their departing figures, not expecting such a big man would do something like that.

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Such a handsome man, why not do something decent?

Then Sang Yu led Jiang Jingming to Youyi Store, where various watches were displayed.

Jiang Jingming suddenly asked, "Don’t you like the watch I bought you yesterday?"

Sang Yu, "I do, now this is for you."

The man paused, his eyes flashing with joy.

Sang Yu approached the counter, asking the salesperson, "Comrade, can you please take out that watch for me to look at?"

"Okay."

The salesperson took out the watch Sang Yu pointed at.

"Would you like to try it on?" the salesperson asked.

Sang Yu looked at Jiang Jingming, "Want to try it on?"

Jiang Jingming snapped out of his happiness, "Sure."

Then, Jiang Jingming came to Sang Yu and extended his wrist.

Sang Yu initially thought the salesperson would put it on for him.

But he unexpectedly reached his hand out to her.

She had to pick up the watch and put it on for him.

Her cool fingertips unintentionally brushed his arm, sparking a tingling sensation.

He tried hard to ignore the cool touch on his arm, his body tensed.

The veins on his arms instinctively popped out.

The way she put the watch on him seemed like she was placing a wedding ring.

The salesperson watched this pink-bubbly scene, with bright eyes.

Gorgeous pair, destined to be together, with the man looking at the woman almost longing.

Sang Yu looked at the wrist adorned with the silver watch, indeed, watches are the best fashion item for men.

This alluring hand is way too tempting to not commit a crime.

Just wearing a watch, why does it seem like putting on a... condom...

She felt her body temperature rising,

But this only applies to handsome men; don’t mimic easily.

"Alright," Sang Yu let go, can’t think anymore, or she’d commit a crime.

The man’s rationality returned as he looked at the watch on his wrist, a gift she gave him.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Sang Yu asked.

"Yes." Jiang Jingming nodded restrained.

Sang Yu laughed, "That’s good."

Turning to the salesperson, "How much is this watch?"

"I guess it will last many years together."

Sang Yu looked confused at the salesperson, "What?" What will last many years.

The salesperson was startled, quickly snapped back, "Sorry, what did you say?"

Sang Yu asked again, "How much does this watch cost?"

"Without coupons, 238 yuan; with coupons, 201 yuan."

"Okay."

Sang Yu took out an industrial coupon and 210 yuan to give the salesperson,

After the receipt was issued, only then did Sang Yu leave with Jiang Jingming.

Jiang Jingming kept glancing at his watch along the way.

Uncontrollably smiling.

After taking Sang Yu home, he said, "Rest at home, I’ll go to the precinct. Let’s not unpack the items yet, wait for me to come back, no need to cook dinner, I’ll buy it outside."

Sang Yu felt the man was overly diligent today.

But she was tired after shopping all morning, so she agreed.

Once Sang Yu returned to her room, Jiang Jingming drove to the police precinct.

"Captain? Didn’t you take leave?" Lin Wen looked at Jiang Jingming, surprised.

"Weren’t you supposed to accompany your wife for the visit?"

Jiang Jingming suddenly asked, "What time is it now?"

Lin Wen checked his watch, "It’s 3:14, why?"

Then Lin Wen saw Jiang Jingming lift his wrist and glance at his watch, "Yep, matched the time."

Lin Wen, "...?"

Seeing Lin Wen not continuing the conversation, Jiang Jingming suddenly asked, "Do you get influenced by wearing a watch during tasks?"

Lin Wen didn’t understand but answered, "No."

"Mm." Jiang Jingming just hummed in response.

Lin Wen was puzzled, then suddenly remembered.

The captain never used to wear a watch, and this watch obviously looks new.

Could it be?

"Captain, this watch is from your wife, isn’t it?"

Jiang Jingming visibly raised his head, "Yes."

Lin Wen: Really...

"Your wife’s taste is great, this watch suits the captain perfectly, and she’s really nice to you."

Jiang Jingming pretended to be serious, "Alright, continue your tasks. I’ll leave."

Lin Wen watched as Jiang Jingming left without hesitation, so was he just here to show off the watch his wife bought him?

When did the captain become so childish?
