After flirting with me wrongly, my scumbag uncle pinched my waist and pampered me fiercely

Chapter 1171 Immense Psychological Pressure

Liang Chen said, "Since you were willing to come with me, I should give you a gift to express my gratitude."

Jiang Manman waved her hand: "No need."

It's not a big deal.

Liang Chen continued, "Of course, and since you've joined the company and become a professional, I should congratulate you. Shouldn't I give you a small gift? Manman, don't refuse me. We don't need to be so polite between us."

As Liang Chen spoke, he didn't give Jiang Manman a chance to refuse and had the shop assistant bring out the women's watches.

"Take these out and let me see them."

This is a luxury store where watches cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Ordinary people might feel pressured by such a place, but for families like Liang Chen and Jiang Manman, it's just a watch, like buying anything else.

Jiang Manman said, "Really, it's not necessary."

She wasn't interested in any of these things. She didn't wear a watch herself because she didn't really like it; otherwise, she would have bought one long ago.

She has received many gifts over the years, mostly watches, which are still in their boxes at home, some still unopened.

Liang Chen, however, made the shop assistant try it on for her without her knowledge, and even forcibly handed Jiang Manman's hand over.

This made Jiang Manman somewhat unhappy; she didn't like feeling forced.

Although Liang Chen said he liked her, he always forced her to do things she didn't like, which only made Jiang Manman feel more uncomfortable.

"Why don't you give it a try, Manman? These are all perfect for you."

Jiang Manman frowned. She didn't like the feeling of being controlled under the guise of doing what was best for you. Moreover, if you refused, she would think you were ungrateful and didn't know what was good for you.

Even the shop assistants were incredibly envious, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, your boyfriend treats you so well."

If a man that handsome were willing to buy her a watch like that, she would be ecstatic.

When Liang Chen heard the term "shop assistant," he couldn't help but smile.

Even though it was just a misunderstanding, his boyfriend's few words made him very happy.

Jiang Manman immediately said, "You've misunderstood, he's not my boyfriend."

"Huh?" Now it was the shop assistant's turn to be a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

The sales assistant helped Jiang Manman try on the watches and enthusiastically recommended them: "Miss, your wrists are so slender, your fingers are beautiful, and your skin is so delicate and fair. These watches would suit you perfectly. Look at this pink one, it suits you so well. What do you think?"

Jiang Manman didn't feel anything; she hadn't particularly wanted it in the first place.

Perhaps sensing that Jiang Manman didn't like it, Liang Chen said, "Let's try another one."

"Okay." The shop assistant immediately brought out the others.

Not far away, Huo Yanchen stared intently at that spot, his eyes seemingly trying to see a hole through the glass.

Even when the mall manager called him several times, he didn't hear him.

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo?"

Huo Yanchen then came to his senses: "What is it?"

The mall staff said, "We're sorry to have taken up so much of Mr. Huo's time today, and it's past lunchtime. According to the plan, we can go to the restaurant now. Mr. Huo, this way please."

According to the schedule, it's time to go eat now.

He was also very honored to have dinner with President Huo; he had been looking forward to this meal for a long time.

Huo Yanchen coldly replied, "No need, you can go by yourselves. I want to stroll around the mall by myself."

"what?"

Why did Huo Yanchen suddenly want to go shopping?

The person in charge said, "Shall I accompany you around? Or, Mr. Huo, which area would you like to visit? I'll have someone come and show it to you."

"No need, I don't need anyone around me. You can all go about your business!"

He only wants to be alone.

“This…” The person in charge hesitated.

Huo Yanchen stared at him with his cold gaze: "What? Don't you understand?"

"No, no, we were just afraid of neglecting Mr. Huo, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Yanchen said, "Why aren't you getting out of here?"

Now, he dared not stay near Huo Yanchen any longer and immediately told these people to go about their business.

Meanwhile, Huo Yanchen stared at the two people in the watch shop who looked incredibly close together, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

……

When Liang Chen looked at Jiang Manman, he noticed Huo Yanchen not far away, and the smile on his lips deepened.

“Manman, I think this watch suits you very well. It looks great on you. Why don’t you take this one?” Liang Chen suggested without consulting her.

Jiang Manman said, "I really don't need it, Liang Chen. I appreciate your kindness, but you don't need to give me these things. You should choose for your brother first."

Hearing that Jiang Manman seemed unhappy, Liang Chen didn't press the matter: "Then let's leave this for now."

Then Liang Chen picked out a few men's styles and tried them on.

"Manman, which one do you think is better?"

Since she had agreed to help him choose, Jiang Manman took a serious look and carefully compared the items in Liang Chen's hands.

Liang Chen looked down at Jiang Manman, feeling really good about being with her.

To outsiders, they clearly looked like a young couple picking out gifts, their mutual affection evident in their interactions.

Especially when they are far apart, others can't hear what the two are saying; they can only see their actions.

Huo Yanchen's eyes were practically blazing with fury; he really knew how to take advantage of a weakness.

“I think this part looks pretty good, but boys and girls have different perspectives. This is just my opinion, you should make your own judgment,” Jiang Manman said.

Liang Chen said, "That's what I was thinking too. This piece is pretty good, let's wrap it up."

The saleswoman beamed; this watch was quite expensive, and she would get a substantial commission from it.

After making her selections, Jiang Manman felt that her task was complete.

But Liang Chen looked around some more and finally pointed to one piece: "Wrap this one up too, and also wrap up the two women's watches we picked out at the beginning."

"Liang Chen, why did you buy so many?" Jiang Manman didn't understand what Liang Chen meant. Even if it was a gift, it was impossible to give so many.

Liang Chen said, "I want to wear one myself too. Manman, you have good taste. I'll keep the one you picked for myself."

Jiang Manman didn't expect this. She was supposed to help her friend choose a gift, but Liang Chen ended up wearing it himself.

Jiang Manman felt something was off when Liang Chen wore it, as if she had specially chosen it for him.

This feeling made Jiang Manman even more uncomfortable.

"So you gave me that ladies' watch? Liang Chen, I've made it very clear to you, I don't want it!"

Liang Chen lowered his eyes and said, "Manman, why are you so resistant to me? I just wanted to give you a gift, do you have to do this?"
