Chapter 187: Your Companion is About to Take Off, Soaring to the Skies_3
The ponytailed girl's eyes narrowed slightly with delight when she received the compliment. Suddenly, she said something in French, her eyes brimming with bright and charming colors.
Chu Mo fixed his gaze on Liu Shiyin, whose face was flushed. She covered her wrists with her hands. Chu Mo asked curiously,
"What, are you not satisfied with the selection?"
At his words, the girl who seemed hesitant to look at Chu Mo timidly displayed the diamond-encrusted watch on her wrist. She slightly lowered her head, her voice as quiet as a mosquito,
"I... I really like it."
Without saying much more, just by looking at the diamonds laden on the watch, Chu Mo guessed its price would be far from cheap.
But having previously made a promise, he would not go back on his word over a mere sum of money.
Chu Mo nodded slightly and said with a smile,
"I saw you lingering around the diamond ring counter for a long time. Is there a ring you have your eye on?"
At these words, Liu Shiyin looked up immediately, a brilliant light flashing in her eyes. She opened her mouth slightly but, thinking of the terrifying price of 280 million for that ring, she deflated like a punctured ball and said cautiously,
"It's too expensive..."
Chu Mo's gaze withdrew from her with a hint of indifference in his eyes.
The girl named Liu Shiyin no longer had the rebelliousness and flamboyance she exhibited earlier in the food street and Rolls-Royce.
Now, she behaved like the respectful and cautious attendants around him, no longer possessing the indifference towards Chu Mo.
The slight appreciation in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Chu Mo certainly did not lack servants and maids who fawned over him; he thoroughly enjoyed the banter he had with Liu Shiyin before.

However, this girl was also far from being without desires. When she truly received the benefits she had longed for, her personality, edges, and rebelliousness were swiftly tucked away; she became smooth and compliant like the maids around him.
"What a pity..."
Chu Mo took a deep breath, a touch of helplessness flickering in his eyes.
Originally, he had wanted to make the opposite long, straight-haired girl a confidante. However, her compliance instantly made him lose interest.
When Chu Mo shifted his gaze away from her, the girl named Liu Shiyin might never know that because of her recent behavior, she had lost a truly precious opportunity.
If she had confidently shown off the watch on her wrist before, if she had boldly expressed her liking for the blue sapphire ring when Chu Mo had asked about it, perhaps Chu Mo might have purchased that top-tier diamond ring worth 280 million for her.
After all, for Chu Mo, two billion or even three billion was something he could easily achieve with a flick of his fingers, without feeling the slightest bit of pain or reluctance to part with it.
But due to the long-haired girl's caution and hesitation, she missed an excellent opportunity to step into the top echelons of society.
In contrast, the ponytailed girl named Qiu Man, due to her innocence, actually gained the goodwill of the scion of the Ross family.
"Mr. Geng Pan, Miss Qiu Man, the top floor offers a view of the entire city. Shall we visit together?"
With a smile in his eyes, Chu Mo casually invited them, and the group of three made their way towards the executive elevator.
Meanwhile, Liu Shiyin, who had not been invited, stood there stunned. She watched the trio disappear before her eyes and finally felt as if she had lost something.
"Your friend is very adept at knowing when to advance or retreat. Having gained the favor of these two big shots, she's about to take off, the soaring kind."
Zhan Bingxue stepped forward with a light step, looked at the girl beside her who was lost in regret, and with a small curve of her lips, said in a neutral tone,
"Originally, you and she were on the same starting line. You too had this opportunity, but unfortunately, you didn't seize it."
