Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Zhou Chenyu turned around at the sound, her eyes gentle: "What's wrong?"

"I can't rely on you for everything," Su Fengnan said earnestly, her expression softening. "Always asking you for things will make me dependent. You need to give me some space to grow up independently."

Deep down, she had other considerations. Using only a mobile phone to tell the time every day wasn't very convenient. In her previous life, she always wore a watch during junior high, but it broke, and her family's finances were tight, so she never bought a new one. Now, though she was deeply moved, she didn't want to simply accept Zhou Chenyu's devotion.

When she was with him, she wanted to maintain propriety and dignity, and she always tried to get what she could by herself.

Zhou Chenyu looked down at her, a faint smile playing on his lips, his voice low and gentle: "Nan'er, do you know what a boyfriend is for?"

Su Fengnan was taken aback, blinking blankly, "Huh? What do you mean?"

"A boyfriend is someone you can rely on and exploit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chenyu took her hand firmly and led her straight towards the luxury watch store.

As soon as I stepped into the watch store, a smiling saleswoman immediately greeted me, asking in a friendly tone, "Would you like to look at men's or women's watches?"

Zhou Chenyu said firmly and decisively, "Bring out the one from your store's poster, let us take a look."

The sales assistant subconsciously glanced at Su Fengnan, who was standing obediently beside him, and instantly understood. She immediately smiled and replied, "Okay, please wait a moment."

While the sales assistant turned to retrieve the watch, Su Fengnan gently tugged at Zhou Chenyu's sleeve, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance: "Brother Zhou, please don't be like this..."

Zhou Chenyu looked down at her, his tone unwavering: "Nan'er is worth it."

Not long after, the sales assistant returned with an exquisite tray and gently placed the watch, the same model as the one in the poster, on the glass counter: "Please take a look, this is the one."

The actual product was even more stunning than the poster.

This Omega women's watch features a petite and delicate dial and a slender, soft strap. It is a style specially designed for women, elegant and gentle, exquisite and timeless, and it will make your heart flutter at first glance.

Su Fengnan's gaze fell on the watch, and she didn't know what to say.

Zhou Chenyu looked up at the sales assistant and said casually, "May I try them on?"

"Of course."

The sales assistant gently and carefully helped Su Fengnan put on the watch.

Looking at the watch resting on the girl's fair and slender wrist, making her appear even more gentle and elegant, Zhou Chenyu's eyes were full of satisfaction.

He looked down at his wrist, which he always wore, a faint smile playing on his lips. He leaned closer to Su Fengnan's ear and said in a deep, gentle voice, "I'm wearing the same brand too. The men's and women's styles match perfectly."

Upon hearing this, Su Fengnan subconsciously looked up at his wrist.

Seeing this, Zhou Chenyu simply raised his hand and held it out in front of her, gently placing his hand against hers, his eyes tender: "Look, aren't we a perfect match?"

Looking at the girl's fair wrist, Zhou Chenyu couldn't help but think of the watch on his left wrist. Zhou Chenyu had always preferred simple and understated accessories. The Omega men's watch on his left wrist was a new purchase he made when he came to Zijiang. He couldn't remember why he bought it back then, but he just felt that maybe buying it would bring him good luck!

With just this simple idea, he has worn this watch ever since and hasn't changed it. It's still the cheapest watch in his collection, but he just loves it.

The sleek metal dial, with its cool and restrained lines, is understated and unpretentious, perfectly matching his reserved, gentle, calm, and composed nature.

The elegant women's watch on the poster and the men's watch on his wrist were originally an official couple design. Now that he personally delivered the women's watch to his sweetheart, the tender corner in his heart that had been empty for so long seemed to be completely filled in an instant.

The sales assistant next to him smiled and said, "Sir, you have excellent taste. This is a classic couple's style. The two of you look so good together wearing them."

These words struck a chord with Zhou Chenyu.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately decided, "This is the one."

The sales assistant quickly chimed in with a smile, "Sir, would you like to wear it directly, or would you like us to wrap it up for you?"

When the sales assistant asked this question, Su Fengnan hurriedly tried to take it off, but Zhou Chenyu stopped her.

He took her hand, his tone firm and decisive: "Just wear it."

"Okay!" The sales assistant's smile became even more attentive, and she stepped forward efficiently to complete the formalities.

After completing the formalities, Su Fengnan and Zhou Chenyu left the mall and did not continue shopping. Su Fengnan was afraid that if they continued shopping, Zhou Chenyu would insist on buying her more things, and she really did not want to spend money like that right now.

Seeing that the young girl really didn't want to shop anymore, Zhou Chenyu drove her to his apartment. It was located in a prime downtown area, next to the provincial library, a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. He had already planned to find an opportunity to bring this girl into his territory, so he simply brought her here to familiarize herself with the place first.

The apartment is located on the top floor, with direct access from the underground parking garage to the entrance, ensuring unobstructed access and excellent privacy.

With a soft "beep" from the fingerprint lock, Zhou Chenyu pushed open the door and entered, with Su Fengnan following behind him. In the distance, there was a well-furnished two-bedroom apartment.

The interior design leans towards a minimalist modern Chinese style, with clean and smooth lines. Whether it's the warm solid wood furniture, the soft bamboo blinds with excellent drape, or the landscape painting on the wall with profound artistic conception, everything reveals the owner's refined aesthetics and taste, possessing both a down-to-earth feel and a cool, sophisticated elegance.

As Su Fengnan was carefully examining the furnishings inside the house, she heard Zhou Chenyu's voice coming from the side: "This place has been renovated for over a year. We originally planned to have my grandmother come to stay occasionally, but she always finds it troublesome and doesn't want to move anywhere. So this house has been empty."

Hearing this, Su Fengnan looked up curiously: "Didn't you stay here when you came to Zhucheng?"

"I mostly come to Zhucheng for business, and after I'm done, I go straight to a hotel. I haven't really stayed here much."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chenyu walked straight to the balcony connecting to the living room. He pushed open the floor-to-ceiling glass door, leaned against the railing, and looked out. After his gaze locked onto a certain spot, he turned back with a smile and waved to her: "Nan'er, come here."

Su Fengnan obediently walked over and stood beside him. Zhou Chenyu pointed to the place where his gaze had just been: "That's the library."

Su Fengnan looked in the direction he was pointing, and the outline of the library came into view. Although she was indeed slightly moved by this convenience, it was only for a moment.

Su Fengnan, with her adult soul, could easily see through Zhou Chenyu's little scheme. But she couldn't stay here.

"Wow, standing high up really makes a difference! The view from above is truly amazing!" Su Fengnan exclaimed with feigned surprise, her eyes crinkling with delight.

"The night view will be even more beautiful," Zhou Chenyu replied casually, her tone slightly coaxing.

Having said all that, Su Fengnan would seem pretentious if she continued to play dumb. She turned around, looked at Zhou Chenyu earnestly, and said, "Brother Zhou, I know you want to be good to me, and I appreciate your kindness. But I can't stay here..."

After a pause, Su Fengnan took his hand and led him back to the living room, then pounced into his arms like a kitten. She pressed her face against his warm chest, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "If you live here, I can come over to keep you company occasionally. But if you let me move in directly, I'll feel a lot of pressure."
