Chapter 85 Mechanical Watches
Yuan Wang couldn't help but laugh and explained to Long Xiaoxiao, "This is a bank card. All the money is in the bank. You can use this card to pay directly."
A bank? What is a bank anyway?
Long Xiaoxiao thought it over carefully, but still couldn't figure it out. She just scratched her head, nodded, and then became happy again.
Yay, she's rich now.
"Sister, how much money is in there?" Long Xiaoxiao asked Yuan Wang, looking up at him.
Yuan Wang was speechless for a moment. She didn't care about that, since she didn't lack the money anyway. So she just glanced at it casually when signing the contract.
"Around 100,000?" Yuan Wang asked hesitantly.
Long Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction. More than 100,000 was a lot for her. She had only earned about 100,000 faith points in all the time she had been here.
Long Xiaoxiao's eyes crinkled with laughter as she said, "I've already made so much money after just a short filming session."
"So happy?" Yuan Wang said, reaching out to pinch Long Xiaoxiao's chubby cheeks.
Long Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, stared at the bank card in her hand for a while, and then said earnestly to Yuan Wang, "Sister, when are we going to buy a gift for You Huai?"
Yuan Wang was taken aback. She didn't remember such a thing at all. Now that Long Xiaoxiao mentioned it, she immediately understood why Long Xiaoxiao had agreed to go and act in the movie.
It turned out that it was to choose a gift for You Huai.
"Hmm... I can go today." Yuan Wang thought to herself that her work wasn't busy today and would be finished soon, so she would have enough time to go to the mall.
Long Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up even more as she looked at Yuan Wang expectantly, waving the bank card in her hand and saying, "Then let's go today, okay?"
“Okay,” Yuan Wang readily agreed.

After Yuan Wang finished his work, the two packed their things and drove to a nearby shopping mall.
Yuan Wang's company was located in the city center, and soon they arrived at the central business street, where a neon light stretched as far as the eye could see.
Yuan Wang held Long Xiaoxiao's hand and walked quietly through the area. She was familiar with all the luxury stores here, but she couldn't figure out what Long Xiaoxiao wanted.
Long Xiaoxiao looked around, hesitated for a long time, and finally turned her head and saw a luxury mechanical watch store. Her eyes lit up and she pulled Yuan Wang inside.
Clocks are rare items in the magical world, but they are not very practical. Most races have a natural strong sense of time, so they are mostly bought for display.
Long Xiaoxiao's second sister had brought back a mechanical clock from the market earlier, and Long Xiaoxiao was still thinking about asking her mother to buy her another one when she went to the market next time she left.
Seeing that Long Xiaoxiao already had a plan, Yuan Wang followed her inside. The shop assistant immediately noticed Yuan Wang's expensive attire and came to greet him.
"Hello, ma'am, what style of watch would you like?" the salesperson asked enthusiastically.
Yuan Wang smiled faintly and gestured to Long Xiaoxiao: "The child wants to buy a watch, introduce it to her."
The shop assistant looked down and noticed Long Xiaoxiao. She was stunned for a moment, feeling that the child looked familiar. After thinking for a few seconds, she suddenly realized and subconsciously called out, "Long Xiaoxiao?"
She wasn't a fan of Luo Zongshan, but during the online arguments, she saw many photos of Long Xiaoxiao and was deeply impressed by the adorable child.
Long Xiaoxiao was a little surprised to see that someone actually recognized her. She raised her head and smiled foolishly at the shop assistant, waving her chubby little hand in greeting: "Hello."
Ahhh! It's even cuter in person!
The shop assistant couldn't help but smile like an aunt, but she remembered her job, so she squatted down to be at eye level with Long Xiaoxiao and asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, what kind of watch do you like?"
When Yuan Wang heard the shop assistant call out Long Xiaoxiao's name, he was worried that he might encounter some haters. But when he heard her gentle and sweet voice, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Xiaoxiao bit her lip and thought for a long time. She hadn't seen many watches, so she naturally didn't know what styles they came in. So she simply tilted her head back and said sincerely, "I want to see them all."
"Of course," the shop assistant said with a smile, lifting Long Xiaoxiao to a high chair next to him. Below, in the glass display case, various mechanical watches were displayed, gleaming under the lights.
"Wow--"
Long Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise after just one glance, her voice drawn out as if she were extremely shocked.
The shop assistant smiled and introduced each item to Long Xiaoxiao one by one, and finally asked, "Is it for yourself? The children's sizes are all over here, and if it's a gift, the adult sizes are on the other side."
"It's for little kids," Long Xiaoxiao said, then pointed to herself with a serious expression and said, "Little kids even younger than me."
He spoke with such seriousness.
Yuan Wang watched quietly with gentle eyes, not interfering with Long Xiaoxiao's decision.
The shop assistant then asked Long Xiaoxiao about some things related to You Huai. After roughly determining You Huai's preferences, the shop assistant recommended one of the watches to Long Xiaoxiao. Long Xiaoxiao looked at it carefully for a while.
“Hmm…” Long Xiaoxiao hesitated and didn’t speak.
Yuan Wang then leaned closer, bent down, and softly asked Long Xiaoxiao, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
Long Xiaoxiao shook her head, looking conflicted: "What if You Huai doesn't like it? I want to give him a gift that will make him happy."
“He’ll like anything you give him,” Yuan Wang said. “He’ll be happy as long as you give him something.”
In the past few days, Yuan Wang has seen through You Huai. You Huai has no principles or bottom line when it comes to Long Xiaoxiao. As long as Long Xiaoxiao says something good, You Huai will never say anything bad.
Seeing Yuan Wang say this, Long Xiaoxiao finally made up her mind, nodded and asked the shop assistant to pack it up, and then paid with her performance fee.
On the way back with the gift, Long Xiaoxiao was still counting on her fingers how many more days it would take to deliver the gift to You Huai. After calculating for a long time without figuring it out, Yuan Wang simply said, "Three more days."
"Three days...three days," Long Xiaoxiao muttered blankly.
Then Long Xiaoxiao tried to calculate how much longer it would take for her to return to Xingyin Mountain, but after counting on her fingers for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.
Finally, the system reluctantly spoke up: "There's still more than a month to go."
"Oh, more than a month?" Long Xiaoxiao replied blankly as usual.
Yuan Wang didn't notice what Long Xiaoxiao was muttering; he was focused on driving.
Seeing Long Xiaoxiao's appearance, the system couldn't help but reflect on its own parenting practices.
It seems he only taught Long Xiaoxiao Mandarin; she knows absolutely nothing about math!
Wouldn't this turn him into an illiterate little dragon? The system was startled and began to consider how successful it was in providing early education for Long Xiaoxiao.
