Free Web NovelChapter 41: Chapter 40: Why Can’t I Spend All This Money? (2)
Ning Ruoxi seemed to sense that something was off with Ye Ling’s mood. She didn’t press him about it, just gently squeezed the hand she was holding.
It was as if she wanted to give him support and courage this way.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Ye Ling turned his head and gave Ning Ruoxi a faint smile, squeezing her hand even tighter. His eyes were filled with doting affection. "Don’t underestimate your man’s abilities. Leave everything with your father to me. Today, just buy whatever you want."
Just then, the elevator reached the second floor. When Ye Ling led Ning Ruoxi out, they inadvertently became the center of attention again.
It couldn’t be helped—they were both just too good-looking. Many people even suspected they were a pair of celebrities out shopping!
Some even sneakily took out their phones to take pictures, thinking they might have just caught two stars on a secret date!
"Maybe we should wear masks next time," Ning Ruoxi said, leaning against Ye Ling’s chest, unable to stand all the stares any longer.
"I don’t think that would work," Ye Ling said with a sigh. "If we actually wore masks, we’d probably be swarmed by people who think we really are celebrities."
’This must be the curse of being too good-looking. What a hassle!’
Ye Ling complained internally, then wrapped an arm around Ning Ruoxi’s slender waist and casually strolled into a Fendi store. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The reason he picked this store first was mainly that he quite liked their "Little Monster" backpacks.
He wasn’t like the protagonists in those online novels who would immediately go buy Chanel or LV... He felt those brands weren’t particularly suited for a girl of Ning Ruoxi’s age.
After all, Ning Ruoxi was just a young woman who had recently come of age.
"Hello, welcome," a sales associate greeted them warmly.
She didn’t look down on them for their rather ordinary clothes. In fact, that kind of thing is completely unrealistic in real life.
Even in the most expensive luxury stores, the sales staff are just employees. Damaging the brand’s reputation is a consequence they simply can’t afford.
"Excuse me, do you have the Little Monster backpacks?" Ye Ling asked with a slight smile.
"You must mean the Little Monster Eyes backpack," the associate said with a smile. She walked to the back of the store and took a backpack down from a shelf.
"That’s the one. Please ring it up for me."
Ye Ling nodded and casually handed his card to the associate.
"This bag is pretty expensive~" Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but remark, glancing at it.
Although her background was certainly extraordinary, she wasn’t someone obsessed with luxury brands, which was why she always dressed so simply.
"Don’t you worry about that. It’s my gift to you," Ye Ling said with a gentle smile, ruffling Ning Ruoxi’s hair.
In truth, one of the reasons he was so fond of Ning Ruoxi was that she genuinely wasn’t materialistic in the slightest.
If she were the type who liked to show off even a little, she would probably be pestering him to buy even more right now!
And so, Ye Ling led Ning Ruoxi by the hand, casually browsing. But after shopping for a good while, he realized he hadn’t actually spent that much money...
The Little Monster bag from before was about 15,000. After that, he bought her a few outfits for summer and autumn, several pairs of shoes, and a pair of high heels. All told, it added up to a little over 100,000, but less than 200,000.
Ye Ling also picked out a snow-white long dress for Ning Ruoxi, which cost about 86,000. That one was relatively expensive.
Ye Ling, however, still felt a little dissatisfied. ’How is this money so hard to spend...?’
Everything added up to only about 300,000 so far. He had originally planned to spend at least a few million, or even ten million~
If anyone else had heard Ye Ling’s thought, they would have probably coughed up blood from sheer indignation.
Three hundred thousand! That was damn near a whole year’s income for an average family!
"Ye Ling, let me pick out a couple of outfits for you too," Ning Ruoxi said suddenly, turning and tilting her head up at him.
Women, by nature, tend to love shopping, and Ning Ruoxi was no exception.
As they shopped, she started to get into the swing of things.
"Huh? You don’t have to do that for me."
Ye Ling was taken aback for a moment, his thoughts pulled back to the present. Just a second ago, he had been wondering what expensive thing he could buy next~
"Nope. I want to buy something for you. I’m done shopping for myself."
Without taking no for an answer, Ning Ruoxi grabbed Ye Ling’s hand and pulled him straight into a Givenchy store.
"Hello, we’d like to look at the men’s collection," Ning Ruoxi said to the sales associate.
"Are you picking something out for this gentleman?" The associate was naturally very perceptive. She immediately looked at Ye Ling with a smile and said, "The gentleman is truly handsome; he’d look great in anything. But you must be students, right? I recommend you take a look at our new arrivals for this year. They’re all quite suitable for young people."
From then on, it was Ning Ruoxi’s show. The girl was completely absorbed, having Ye Ling try on one outfit after another, only to find that everything seemed to look good on him.
This was mainly because Ye Ling himself had such a good foundation—not just his looks, but his first-class physique. It was like he was a natural-born model.
"Ruoruo, I think that’s enough," Ye Ling said, feeling a bit tired after trying on more than ten outfits in a row.
He was genuinely curious now. Ning Ruoxi had just tried on so many clothes herself; wasn’t she tired?
The truth is, when it comes to shopping, a woman never gets tired!
"Just try on this suit."
Ning Ruoxi turned around and came back with a suit.
Just now, she had been picking out more casual clothes for him, and she’d already chosen quite a few. She felt that was about enough, but it seemed he was still missing a piece of formalwear.
"What would I even do with a suit...?" Ye Ling scratched his head, looking helpless.
"Silly, you’re a Chairman now! And don’t forget, once we start school, Modu University will definitely have all sorts of events. You’ll definitely need it then, you know!" Ning Ruoxi said, grinning as she handed the suit to Ye Ling.
She was already fantasizing about being on stage with Ye Ling at one of those events!
Meanwhile, the sales associate standing nearby couldn’t help but be taken aback by Ning Ruoxi’s words.
’This handsome-looking young man is a Chairman!?’
’Unless she’s just joking, isn’t he way too young for that!’
"Alright."
At Ning Ruoxi’s strong insistence, Ye Ling changed into the suit.
"Wow! Miss, you have excellent taste! This suit is from our new collection this year. It has a black silk tassel collar—it’s a perfect fit for the gentleman!"
The sales associate couldn’t help but click her tongue in admiration as she looked at Ye Ling.
A moment ago, Ye Ling was just a handsome boy-next-door, but wearing this suit, he instantly shed some of his youthful immaturity, gaining the charm of a mature man.
Ye Ling also gave a twirl in front of the mirror and thought it looked pretty good. ’After all, my girl’s the one who picked it out~’
