Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Please Start Your Performance (Additional Chapter for Alliance Hierarch Chu Xun’an)
“Thank you,” Bai Yaning said as she took the rose and then set it aside.
Zhao Zhenhao then turned to Wang Hao, stretching out his hand first and smiling, “Hello, you must be Mr. Wang Hao? Miss Yaning has mentioned you. It seems you are the first friend Miss Yaning officially acknowledged. I’m quite envious. I’m Zhao Zhenhao. Nice to meet you. Please take good care of me.”
Oh, what slick talk! So proper!
“Hello, hello,” Wang Hao quickly stood up, reaching out to shake hands with Zhao Zhenhao, “Nice to meet you. Please take good care of me.”
After the pleasantries, Zhao Zhenhao subtly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, then took a small black box out of his bag, smiling, “Just a small token, please do accept it.” As soon as he opened the box, Wang Hao suddenly felt, oh my, why is this light so blinding! I can barely keep my eyes open!
“Is this… too valuable?” Is he implying he bought a watch? Looks like this guy is up to no good— but why refuse a freebie?
...
Wang Hao cheerfully accepted the watch, examined it, and then smiled, “Omega, that’s a big brand! This watch must be expensive, right? Let me see… 233.90.41.21.03.002! What are these numbers?”
These numbers seem very odd.
“About four hundred and forty thousand, I hope you like it,” Zhao Zhenhao smiled. “These numbers are just the model code of the watch, you can ignore them. Why not try it on?”
Actually, as soon as Zhao Zhenhao mentioned giving the watch, Bai Yaning felt something was amiss. Generally, it’s okay for men to give gifts when meeting for the first time, but giving a watch is rare. Bai Yaning thought about it, then discreetly searched the model code on her phone… and soon understood.
It seems Zhao Zhenhao came prepared, and this price is definitely not friendly— The larger the clan, the more particular about numbers they are, and 444,000 is definitely not a normal gift price. Given Zhao Zhenhao’s background, it’s unlikely he made such a low-level error.
Who gives a gift priced like that? Try giving someone a gift priced at 444 and see if they don’t beat you up?
Bai Yaning understood in her heart, and obviously, Wang Hao wasn’t foolish either.
Giving such an expensive gift right off the bat, who knows what he’s playing at.
But that’s fine, if he dares to pull anything on me, I’ll just deal with it!
“I’ll try it on,” Wang Hao put on the watch and then gestured to Bai Yaning, “How is it? Does it look good?”
“Not bad,” Bai Yaning pursed her lips and smiled slightly, “Indeed, it looks quite nice.”
Seeing Bai Yaning actually smiling at Wang Hao, Zhao Zhenhao slightly narrowed his eyes. He discretely pulled out his handkerchief again to wipe his hand, quickly returning to normal, and smiled, “I’m glad you like it. I was worried the style might not be suitable.”
“Suitable, suitable, definitely suitable!” Wang Hao said cheerfully, “Oh, on my way here I was thinking about how embarrassing it would be to come to such a high-end place without wearing a watch worth hundreds of thousands. Looks like my wish really came true today, what you wish for, you get, haha. Well, now I’m also a man with a watch. They say men are judged by their watches and women by their bags. Wearing a nice watch almost turns me into a tall, rich, and handsome guy, heh heh.”
Watching Wang Hao’s joyful demeanor, Bai Yaning and Zhao Zhenhao had different thoughts.
Bai Yaning was anxious that Wang Hao didn’t understand Zhao Zhenhao’s intention, and felt the watch shouldn’t have been accepted. Zhao Zhenhao, on the other hand, sneered privately, thinking he was just a country bumpkin, getting so excited over a watch, clearly unsophisticated.
“Should I warn him?” Bai Yaning thought to herself: “He seems to really not understand the meaning, Zhao Zhenhao obviously has bad intentions.” But the problem now is, no matter what, Zhao Zhenhao’s actions seemed flawless on the surface— he gave a gift worth over four hundred thousand, there’s no clear way to object. And even if you did speak up, what then? He could easily dismiss it with a simple misunderstanding.
Just as Zhao Zhenhao was feeling smug, Wang Hao suddenly blurted out a comment that instantly changed everything!
“Ah, this watch really does look good, just not sure if there’s another one like it,” Wang Hao murmured as he examined the watch, “If there’s a similar one, buying one for my future wife would surely look impressive! Heh heh!”
Right! How did I not think of that!
Yaning’s eyes suddenly lit up!
One watch was 444,000, so two would be 888,000. Didn’t that number instantly become auspicious? And it seemed they were a matching pair for couples, too!

That was very appropriate!
“This idea isn’t bad,” Yaning covertly gave Wang Hao a hand while responding to Zhao Zhenhao, smiling as she said, “Last time we had dinner, I hadn’t reciprocated yet, so why not just gift you a matching ladies’ watch of the same model? No refusals allowed.”
“Ah?” Wang Hao was taken aback this time, and scratched his head out of habit, saying, “How could I accept that? The watch is quite expensive…”
“It’s okay,” Yaning whispered softly, “It’s rare that you’re willing to accept a gift, so it’s a perfect chance to show my appreciation.”
Hearing this, Zhao Zhenhao’s face immediately turned green—they had already had dinner together before!
Oh, heavens and earth! His meticulous arrangement and having spent at least three to four million on this meal was all for naught, and Miss Yaning had already dined with this guy first! This was utterly intolerable!
Moreover, not only did the watch worth over four hundred thousand get gifted, but it also turned into a pair of couple’s watches totaling exactly 888,000!
“Well, it’s kind of embarrassing to say,” refusing now would seem a bit prissy and might make Yaning lose face, so this time Wang Hao agreed quite willingly, “Alright then, I won’t be polite, haha, matching couple’s watches, haha, today is a big win!” Then he quickly thanked Zhao Zhenhao, “Thank you, thank you, Young Master Zhao, you’re really too courteous. I really like this watch, thank you, thank you!”
Zhao Zhenhao felt extremely frustrated inside, yet couldn’t show it, and put on a gentle smile again, saying, “As long as you like it, I’m relieved.”
Relieved my foot! I made such thoughtful preparations, and it ended up benefiting someone else! And it was a buy-one-get-one-free!
It was necessary to change the topic now, continuing to talk about the watch would clearly be inappropriate.
Now it was only six in the evening, still early, and it was a rare chance to have dinner with Yaning, naturally more communication was needed.
Zhao Zhenhao, wearing his most elegant smile, started a topic, “It’s my first time dining with Miss Yaning, and I’m very honored. Since it’s still early, why don’t we chat casually?” This was the time to show off a bit, and Zhao Zhenhao asked, “I wonder which places Miss Yaning has visited before? I’m somewhat familiar with the customs and cultures of various countries.”
Wang Hao smirked internally—this act would barely score sixty. What was the point of mentioning all those highfalutin things at an occasion like this?
No wonder our superstar isn’t fond of these well-bred young men. It’s always the same few tricks, showing off their worldliness and sophistication wherever they are—how boring is that?
Sure enough, Yaning wasn’t really buying it, and she simply said, “Is that so, then tell me about it?”
What a perfect opportunity to show off!
Zhao Zhenhao cleared his throat, beginning to speak, “You know, ‘beauty’ is just a viewpoint. The summit of Mount Everest, a pristine snow-clad goddess stands alone, receiving worship from devoted descendants for generations; the Mediterranean coast, where the full moon rises above the Parthenon Temple, casting its cold light over the sacred soil of humanity’s eternal myths; the Serengeti Grassland, where herds of wildebeests surge under a blood-red sunset, the primitive law of the survival of the fittest pulsating here with life as its drum; the Arctic icebergs glow with a ghostly blue light on the water, while Aels Giant Rock reveals vibrant red and yellow in the evening glow; the Caribbean Beach, where one covers the harsh sun to embrace the horizon, and the distant sunlight and slight sound of the waves suddenly all feel within reach…”
Wang Hao listened, absolutely dumbfounded—wow, wasn’t this passage you recited pretty slick!
Zhao Zhenhao had indeed prepared thoroughly before coming. This speech, which he had his subordinates find after much effort, was very poetic and was intended to pique Yaning’s curiosity.
Then he could continuously talk about various wonders of the world, showing off his broad knowledge while also creating a romantic atmosphere—after all, every woman hopes to travel the world with her man, right?
