NOVEL WEB Chapter 104 - Broke My Watch
Chapter 104: Broke My Watch
The male colleague, who was dressed fashionably, suddenly interrupted his boss. “Just call me Paddy.”
His boss was stunned for a moment, then smiled widely. “Alright, Paddy came back from studying in France. He’s a very nice person.” After saying that, she patted Paddy’s shoulder. “Then I’ll leave Xiaoyuan to you.”
Paddy nodded. “Don’t worry.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that the men in this novel were all very good-looking. Although this male colleague was not as good-looking as Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei, his dressing was very tasteful, and his looks improved from 6-7 to 8 out of 10 .
As Xiang Xiaoyuan was familiarizing himself with the new working environment, Lu Bei was like a few days ago, laboriously moving goods in the hot sun. After only working for two days, his complexion had already darkened by more than one shade.
But even so, he was still the fairest and most eye-catching among the numerous porters. It was easy to feel sleepy under the scorching sun. Additionally, he didn’t sleep well after witnessing the shocking scene from yesterday.
Under the sun, he was drowsy, and he felt that if he was given a chair, he would be able to sleep soundly. Feeling sleepy and tired, Lu Bei patted his face hard. His gaze swept across the parking lot not far away and saw a familiar car.
He put down the cardboard box in his hand, lifted up the hem of his t-shirt, and wiped the sweat that was dripping down. He took a closer look and found that the car not far away was really his family’s!
Lu Bei’s first reaction was, “Could it be that his father came to the company?”
It was possible. This company was under his father’s name, so it made sense for him to come over to inspect. If that was really the case, would his father check his performance while he was inspecting his work?
Thinking of this, Lu Bei’s tired limbs seemed to have been injected with a magical power. The fatigue and sleepiness were all forgotten, and he picked up the goods and walked quickly.
He worked extremely hard. His effort was equivalent to that of two people. The other big brothers who were temporarily resting in the shade sighed as they looked at Lu Bei who did not seem to be tired, “As expected of a young man. His physical strength is really good.”
“I have to admit that I’m old!”
“When I was his age, I had endless strength in my body, unlike now…”

At noon, Lu Wanggui finished his work and had time to look at his phone. Naturally, he saw the Wechat message sent by Xiang Xiaoyuan.
His fingers subconsciously tapped on the desk. He didn’t know whether he should be happy or angry, but Xiang Xiaoyuan actually lost her memory and forgot about the things she did yesterday.
Lu Wanggui had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. It was probably because he was annoyed and wanted revenge. He replied with a message: [ Nothing, you just broke a watch of mine. ]
Xiang Xiaoyuan replied: [ ? ]
The corners of Lu Wanggui’s mouth curled up slightly, and he looked happy.
He accurately grasped her sore spot. He knew that she was money-minded, so he patiently chatted with her on Wechat: [ You promised to compensate me yesterday. ]
If one were to ask Xiang Xiaoyuan what she was feeling, she would say regret.
If one were to ask her what exactly she regretted, one was that she had drunk too much on a whim yesterday, and the second was that she had transmigrated into a novel!
If she had to choose a book that she had read before to transmigrate, she would apply for the novel that she had read when she was fifteen years old. Although that novel had a bad outlook on the world and the male protagonist was a scum, the plot of that novel had shocked her so much that none of her future boyfriends had the same surname as the male protagonist.
However, if she had a choice now, she would rather transmigrate into that novel and fight the dog-faced male protagonist than owe a huge sum of money in this one!
She had a deep impression of Lu Wanggui’s watch. It was worth a large house in the city center! It was her ultimate dream!
Actually, as long as she was thick-skinned enough to act coquettishly and say that she did not remember, it was not impossible to let this matter go. She could use the identity of Lu Wanggui’s wife to deny this huge debt. After all, no husband would ask his wife to pay up.
But the key point was that Xiang Xiaoyuan did not think that her relationship with Lu Wanggui had reached such a stage! She could not equate herself with Lu Wanggui’s wife in her heart, so naturally, she would not use this identity to get rid of the debt.
She had been in society for many years and did not care about many things. But there was one thing that she insisted on, and that was that she would keep her word.
