Chapter 305 -203: Yi Chen’s Gift, the Smart Dive Watch

The problem was, crabs over fifteen pounds were only sourced occasionally, and as for twenty-pounders, the entire seafood market might not see more than a few in a whole year. That was why everyone was so surprised and curious.

As for any feelings of jealousy, Gu Nan couldn’t tell, nor did he care.

Where did he get his stock?

He, of course, said Australia. Besides, Emperor Crabs didn’t come from anywhere else.

Seeing his evasive attitude, the other shop owners didn’t press the issue. They all understood the benefits of having an exclusive source; if they had such a channel, they wouldn’t tell anyone either.

Only after the Emperor Crab was prepped and taken into the small kitchen did the neighboring shop owners finally disperse.

How it was cooked from there on was none of Gu Nan’s business. He took out a lounge chair, unfolded it, and lay back, leisurely watching videos on his phone.

A short while later, as if they had planned it, An Jun and Ye Jing arrived, each with their girlfriend in tow.

He was a little surprised to see Jin Enfei. This girl was something else; it seemed she was the longest-lasting girlfriend An Jun had had in the past two years.

Gu Nan thought for a moment. ‘Perhaps their business partnership has made their relationship closer and more complex, giving An Jun some other ideas.’

“Ah Nan, I had some things to do this morning and couldn’t make it. Here, wishing your new shop great success!” Xu Zhina said with a smile, handing over the gift she was carrying.

“Haha, I’ll take those good wishes!” Gu Nan laughed as he accepted the gift without looking to see what it was.

Next, Jin Enfei also handed him a gift, congratulating him on his new shop’s opening.

After a few sentences of conversation, they saw Yi Chen come out with a spatula, and the two women took the opportunity to head into the kitchen to see if she needed a hand.

An Jun and Ye Jing stayed to chat with Gu Nan, mostly asking when his new boat would be launched so he could take them out to sea.

Gu Nan was actually anxious about it too, but there was nothing he could do. Being impatient wouldn’t help.

For the next two months or so, he could only take the small boat out to have some fun in the coastal waters.

That evening’s Emperor Crab had everyone singing its praises, and even Gu Nan, who had eaten it before, was no exception.

The new shop didn’t have many customers in the evening, which allowed the group to enjoy their meal at a leisurely pace.

That night, Gu Nan had planned to find a chance to get Yi Chen over to his rental apartment, but with the other two women present, they ended up dragging her downtown to go shopping instead.

He was helpless to stop it, but what he didn’t know was that the shopping trip had been Yi Chen’s idea.

She had never expected to sell over sixty thousand yuan worth of fish the previous night.

She had originally planned to pay for half of the rent and fuel costs, but Gu Nan refused.

As a result, her savings ballooned, just surpassing one hundred thousand yuan.

She had originally intended to buy a pair of matching couple’s watches, but during their last trip out to sea, she heard Gu Nan mention that a smart dive watch would allow for more precise time management while diving.

Hearing that, she changed her mind. She would buy a regular mechanical watch, but she would also buy a smart dive watch.

He could wear the mechanical watch daily and switch to the smartwatch when diving.

However, even after doing some research online, she still didn’t know much about them.

Fortunately, she knew Jin Enfei was very knowledgeable about these things, so she invited her along. Xu Zhina just tagged along with them.

Because she was buying him a gift, Yi Chen didn’t invite Gu Nan, leaving him out of the loop.

“What should we do tonight?” Ye Jing asked, seeing that the women had all left.

“I don’t know,” Gu Nan said, shaking his head. After spending three nights at sea, he had no desire to go out again tonight.

“How about we go play some games?” Ye Jing suggested.

An Jun shook his head. “That’s no fun. How about a bar?”

Hearing this, Gu Nan and Ye Jing both turned to look at him with surprise.

“Hey, what’s with that look?” An Jun was immediately ruffled by their stares and spoke with annoyance.

Ye Jing asked, “You’re still going to bars? After that whole fiasco last time, didn’t you say you’d never go again?”

“Tch, that was ages ago. It’s all in the past,” An Jun said, waving his hand dismissively. Although he hadn’t been recently, so much time had passed. ‘Who’s still dwelling on that!’

But Gu Nan shook his head, completely uninterested. “Forget it. Ah Jing and I would just be drinking while watching you pick up girls. That’s no fun!”

Ye Jing nodded repeatedly. “Definitely no fun.”

“Then where? A massage?” An Jun asked with a frown.

“Seriously? Are these the only activities we have?” Gu Nan looked incredulous. “Can’t we do something a little more wholesome?”

“A massage… is actually pretty healthy, right?” Ye Jing said after a moment of thought.

HISS. Gu Nan shot him a look of disbelief. “Dawg, you’ve changed!”

“Screw you!” Ye Jing rolled his eyes in annoyance. “Let’s go. Let’s get a massage. I’ve had a lot going on lately, and my body is killing me.”

An Jun nodded vigorously. “Same here!”

Gu Nan wasn’t particularly tired. His recovery was so strong now that a single night’s sleep would banish any fatigue. If that wasn’t enough, he could play his beachcombing game before bed for an even better recovery effect.

But since both of them wanted to go, he decided to accompany them.

The three of them went for massages, and Gu Nan, as usual, requested Pan Yourong.

It wasn’t that he wanted anything to happen; her technique was just really good.

They hadn’t seen each other in so long that whatever ambiguity had existed between them before was long gone.

She was a mature woman, so she naturally understood his intentions.

However, he learned from the manager that Pan Yourong had already left the massage parlor. As for where she went, the manager didn’t know.

In the end, Gu Nan found out from the young masseuse who came in for his appointment that Pan Yourong had actually changed careers.

She had started selling women’s lingerie and stockings. Business was slow for the first week, but then she tried filming some try-on videos and selling products on a livestream, and her business suddenly blew up.

According to the masseuse, seventy to eighty percent of her customers were male.

Gu Nan and his friends looked at each other, stunned. However, since all three had girlfriends, their interest was immediately piqued by this news. They asked the masseuse for the name of the online store, as well as Pan Yourong’s livestream and Twitter accounts.

Some videos couldn’t be posted domestically, but Twitter was far more accommodating.

They used a VPN to open the videos, and Ye Jing immediately got a nosebleed.

Pan Yourong’s figure spoke for itself, especially when she was only in her underwear. A rookie like him couldn’t handle it at all.

Ye Jing was also at a disadvantage, having not been with his girlfriend recently, otherwise he wouldn’t have made such a fool of himself.

Gu Nan felt extremely lucky. Thankfully, he had sealed the deal with Yi Chen during the trip out at sea a few days ago. Otherwise, he would have been the one embarrassing himself tonight.

They watched the videos for a bit. It hadn’t been long, so Pan Yourong had only posted a dozen or so. After watching them all, the three of them were still left wanting more.

Then, with a silent, mutual understanding, they all opened her online store and started browsing, buying lingerie styles they liked, as well as all sorts of sexy stockings.

Gu Nan was once again thankful that he’d gotten together with Yi Chen; otherwise, he wouldn’t have even known her size.

He bought seven or eight lingerie sets and over twenty pairs of stockings before putting his phone down, satisfied, and settling in to enjoy the evening’s massage.

Two hours later, the three of them walked out of the massage parlor. It was only nine o’clock at night.

Just as they were wondering where to go next, the women returned from their shopping trip.

Ye Jing rubbed his nose, quickly made an excuse, and dragged his girlfriend home.

The videos they had just watched were still replaying in his mind, and he was feeling pretty worked up.

Seeing this, An Jun decided he might as well take Jin Enfei and leave too, ready to go “discuss the quality of stockings.”

Yi Chen was mystified. “What’s gotten into them?” she asked, puzzled.

“It’s a long story. Why don’t we go back to my place and I can tell you all about it?” Gu Nan said, giving her a meaningful look.

Yi Chen thought about the gifts she’d bought that evening and how it was the perfect time to give them to him, so she nodded.

Gu Nan was overjoyed and wasted no time taking her back to his rental.

The moment they got back to his apartment, he pulled Yi Chen into the room, immediately shut the door, cupped her small face, and devoured her, starting to taste her luscious red lips.

“Mmph…”

Yi Chen had been curiously looking around the apartment and didn’t expect his sudden move. The force of his kiss made her go weak all over.

The videos hadn’t actually affected Gu Nan that much, mainly because he had already tasted the real thing.

He kissed her for a while and was about to move on to the next step when Yi Chen stopped him.

She gave him a gentle, coquettish push, lifting the bag in her hand. “Wait, I got you a present.”

A present?

Gu Nan’s attention was immediately drawn to the bag. He took it curiously and opened it, only to find two gift boxes inside.

“Both for me?”

“Mhm, both for you,” Yi Chen said, nodding with a grin.

Seeing this, Gu Nan sat down on the bed, took out one of the boxes, and unwrapped it. He found a smart dive watch inside and instantly understood.
