Inside the jewelry store, Lin Feng saw Su Ruoxi talking with a middle-aged woman. The woman looked elegant and dignified, her every move exuding a gentle grace.
"Ruoxi, I brought you some milk tea," Lin Feng said with a smile, walking over to hand her a cup. "And this is?"
Su Ruoxi took the milk tea and, hearing Lin Feng’s question, offered an explanation.
"Brother Feng, this is Aunt Tang."
"We just met. Aunt Tang is picking out engagement rings for her son and daughter-in-law."
"She happened to see the two pairs of diamond rings I was looking at."
"So we started chatting."
"Aunt Tang, this is my boyfriend, Lin Feng, and his sister, Lin Xiaoman."
Su Ruoxi made the introductions.
After Su Ruoxi’s explanation, Lin Feng nodded and greeted her as Aunt Tang.
The woman was indeed older, around the same age as Lin Feng’s parents.
It felt natural to call her "Aunt."
Aunt Tang seemed quite amiable, and she smiled and nodded at Lin Feng’s greeting.
Just then, a sales associate came over with two boxed-up items.
She then gave one to Su Ruoxi and one to Aunt Tang.
"Ladies, your matching rings are all boxed up," the sales associate said.
"Ruoxi, I have some other things to attend to, so I’ll be going," Aunt Tang said to Su Ruoxi as she took the box.
"Thank you for letting me have the rings."
"It’s no problem, Auntie," Su Ruoxi replied with a smile.
Aunt Tang said her goodbyes to Lin Feng and Lin Xiaoman as well, then left with her box.
"Ruoxi, did you finish picking things out?" Lin Feng asked after Aunt Tang had left.
"All picked out. Let’s go."
Su Ruoxi hummed in agreement, picked up the box, and linked her arm through Lin Feng’s again.
"I’ll pay by card."
Lin Feng pulled a bank card from his pocket and handed it to the sales associate.
But the sales associate looked surprised.
"Sir, Miss Su has already paid for these diamond rings."
As she said this, an awkward smile appeared on her face.
"Already paid for?"
Lin Feng was stunned.
"I already settled the bill while you and Xiaoman were out buying milk tea."
A smile graced Su Ruoxi’s face.
"You paid when we bought the watch before."
"This time, it was my turn to pay."
’What kind of watch could possibly compare to this pair of diamond rings?’
After hearing Su Ruoxi’s words, the sales associate subconsciously glanced at Su Ruoxi’s wrist.
And then she recognized it.
’A Patek Philippe?’
’Fuck!’
’It really is!’
The sales associate hadn’t really noticed before.
But now that she saw it, she felt like her entire worldview was about to shatter.
’Is this what the world of the rich is like?’
’A return gift that starts at four hundred thousand?’
Alright then.
The sales associate had to admit that these things were beyond her imagination.
Hearing Su Ruoxi’s words, Lin Feng felt a bit helpless.
He had been counting on that pair of diamond rings to complete a system mission.
’Now that Ruoxi paid, does this mean I have to go buy another pair of diamond rings?’
However, just as Su Ruoxi finished speaking,
a system notification sounded in Lin Feng’s mind.
[Ding... As Su Ruoxi’s affection for the Host has reached an undying level.]
[This mission is now judged as complete.]
[Mission Reward: A pair of diamonds with a rarity score of one hundred.]
[The mission reward has been delivered to the System Inventory.]
[The Host may retrieve it at any time.]
’The mission’s complete?’
He had thought that since Su Ruoxi had paid the bill, he would have to go buy another pair of rings. But because their affection was "undying," the system judged the mission as complete anyway.
This was an unexpected but pleasant surprise.
Though it seemed the reward wasn’t of much use.
Of the four people present, the one most affected was probably Lin Xiaoman.
She had originally thought that Lin Feng was wasting money by buying such expensive diamond rings outright.
Especially since she assumed his relationship with Su Ruoxi wasn’t that deep.
’Is it really a good idea to just give away diamond rings worth over a hundred thousand?’
But now, Su Ruoxi, without knowing the situation, had paid for the rings herself.
Especially after seeing the look Lin Feng gave her,
Lin Xiaoman suddenly felt as if she had judged a gentleman by her own petty standards.
’So, this new sister-in-law of mine is this rich?’
Lin Xiaoman suddenly realized this fact.
She bought diamond rings worth hundreds of thousands just like that.
As if she were buying something that cost a few dozen bucks.
Discovering this fact, Lin Xiaoman suddenly felt even more dejected.
’I wish I were like Su Ruoxi.’
’Buying things worth hundreds of thousands without a second thought.’
But there was no use in being envious of some things.
For Lin Xiaoman, the more achievable goal right now was to get on Lin Feng’s good side.
And then have Lin Feng help her get that necklace worth over ten thousand.
"Don’t be so quick to spend your money next time. You should save some for yourself."
Lin Feng reached out and ruffled Su Ruoxi’s hair.
Su Ruoxi just smiled and didn’t say anything.
"Since we’ve got everything, let’s go," Lin Feng said.
"I’ll take you guys to the hotel to rest for a bit. I have some business to take care of."
Su Ruoxi had woken up early in the morning to catch a flight. After shopping all afternoon, she was actually quite tired.
It was just that Lin Feng was by her side, and she was reluctant to go back and rest.
Now that she heard Lin Feng say this, she naturally had no objections.
Lin Xiaoman had things on her mind, so she wasn’t in the mood to shop anymore. She grabbed her things and went downstairs.
Lin Feng drove Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman to the hotel he had booked for Su Ruoxi earlier.
A duplex suite in a five-star hotel.
It was fully equipped with all sorts of amenities.
And there was more than one room.
In a way,
it was practically a boutique studio apartment of over eighty square meters.
At least in terms of space, Lin Feng was very satisfied.
"Wow, Brother, you’re treating my sister-in-law way too well, aren’t you?"
Lin Xiaoman exclaimed in amazement as she walked in.
To be honest, Lin Xiaoman had never stayed in such a luxurious room before.
She had lived at home her whole life.
The space was very small.
After starting university, she had been living in a dorm.
It was inevitable that she would feel a sense of envy.
"Of course."
Lin Feng smiled and placed the shopping bags on the sofa.
"Alright."
"If you guys are tired, get some rest."
"I’ll arrange for dinner this evening. I’ll come pick you up when it’s time. I have some business to attend to, so I’m heading out now."
Although it didn’t matter whether he bought the storefront sooner or later,
Lin Feng still planned to get it done sooner.
He didn’t know any rich people in Xiang City.
So for something like buying property, he’d probably have to go to a real estate agent.
Going over to register with them early would let them start arranging things for him sooner.
Hearing that Lin Feng had important business to attend to,
Su Ruoxi nodded obediently and stretched her arms out wide.
"Perfect, I’m a little tired anyway. I’m going to take a nap."
As Su Ruoxi stretched, her perfect figure was put on full display.
It even left Lin Xiaoman, who was standing beside her, staring in a daze.
She glanced at Lin Feng, who was also a bit stunned.
Then she silently went into her room.
Su Ruoxi seemed to notice Lin Feng’s reaction, but she didn’t lower her arms.
Instead, after Lin Xiaoman went into the room, she hugged Lin Feng.
Then she stood on her tiptoes.
A dozen or so seconds later, the two finally separated.
"I’m very satisfied with today. This is your reward."
A smile played on Su Ruoxi’s lips.
"Is this the only reward?"
Lin Feng smacked his lips.
He seemed to still be savoring the lingering warmth and fragrance.
"After dinner tonight, I’ll send Xiaoman home, and then I’ll come find you."
He was, after all, a hot-blooded young man.
And having just been teased by Su Ruoxi,
he couldn’t help but start getting some mischievous ideas.
But Su Ruoxi didn’t take the bait.
She just picked up one of the new outfits and headed for the bathroom.
"Remember to pick us up after you’re done with your business this afternoon. I’m going to take a shower first."
Lin Feng wanted to say more,
but Su Ruoxi had already entered the bathroom.
SLAM.
The bathroom door was shut.
Alright then.
Lin Feng could only give up reluctantly.
He also closed the door to the suite on his way out.
