“Tonight, I can still accompany you. After dinner, Xia will come to pick me up,” Lin Wan said as she leaned in and kissed her husband on the neck.

He was unwilling, but he took out a card from the drawer. “I have one condition. Promise me you’ll buy a lot of things and use only my card. You have to buy at least ten items.”

“But…”

The smile on Li Yanchen’s face froze.

Lin Wan sighed and took the card. “Didn’t you give me a black card before? You don’t need to give me another one.”

“If I remember, that is in your bedside drawer. Are you going to go back to get it?” he asked.

“You know about that too?” Lin Wan was surprised. She thought she wouldn’t need it often, so she left it in the drawer. She didn’t expect Li Yanchen to remember.

“Only you would be so clueless. There isn’t much money on this card. It should be enough for today. If you spend it all, I’ll be happy. Otherwise…” Li Yanchen seemed to be using his own happiness to threaten Lin Wan.

If this were the original world, how many admirers would a man like him have? Probably enough to line up from the South Pole to the North Pole. For the first time, Lin Wan felt grateful to the author for creating such a perfect man.

“I promise to make you happy this time.” Lin Wan gladly accepted the card.

The canteen had prepared the meal. They had followed their employer’s timing and were waiting for their boss and his wife to arrive for lunch.

Assistant Qin could handle things, and Li Yanchen felt at ease. However, Lin Wan hadn’t had a chance to enjoy her meal properly when Xia MO already arrived downstairs at the company.

“The food was so delicious today. If Xia didn’t come so early, I would have eaten more. I’m leaving now, darling, take your time.” Lin Wan put on her mask and left the canteen.

Xia MO was wearing a bright red down jacket. She was looking around as she rolled down her car window.

If it weren’t for her fans telling her during yesterday’s livestream that she needed to buy new clothes, she wouldn’t have realized that she hadn’t bought any new clothes this winter. With the Chinese New Year approaching, it was the perfect time to visit the mall.

Having had an early lunch, Xia MO drove to Chenxin.

“Wanwan,” Xia MO called out happily.

Lin Wan got into the car.

“You’re going to buy clothes on such a snowy day? Shopping is an addiction.”

“I dropped Xiao Tianlin to the station in the afternoon. Since I’m not livestreaming, I have time. I thought I’d invite you for some shopping. Fans think I’m not pretty and can’t dress well, so this afternoon, I want to ask you, Mrs. Li, to help me pick a few outfits.” Xia MO fastened her seatbelt.

“That’s impossible. The Sweet Little Circle fans aren’t that shallow. You must have misunderstood,” Lin Wan said.

“They mean well. I do need to dress up a bit. Since I came back from Lan

Village, I’ve become lazy. Every morning, I just randomly pick an outfit.” Xia MO used to love buying clothes when she was young, but after she turned forty, she changed.

“As a livestream host, you do need to pay attention to your image. You don’t need a lot of clothes, but you have to present yourself in a sophisticated and proper manner. Alright, I’ll take care of the shopping this afternoon,” Lin Wan said.

Lin Wan took Xia MO to her favorite shop.

She chose Mao’s because every time Lin Wan came, they turned the store into her private fitting room. They even refused other customers to serve her.

Lin Wan bought a lot of clothes from them. Each time, at least three employees were needed to help carry the clothes to her car.

When they saw the familiar face, Mao’s entire staff sprang into action. After Lin Wan and Xia MO entered, they hung a sign indicating that the store was closed for the day.

If Xia MO hadn’t learned about how Mao’s store worked, she would have thought they were being taken captive. Closing off the entire store for one person did seem like a hostage situation. They were essentially giving Lin Wan VIP treatment while making her spend an outrageous amount of money.

There were people serving tea and water, introducing products, buying fruits, keeping them entertained, etc.

Xia MO once again experienced the life of the truly wealthy. How could she not be happy? The male and female staff were very polite.

Lin Wan admitted that the shop assistant had a very professional eye. She began by selecting clothes based on the color scheme and then recommended outfits based on their temperaments and body types. However, Lin Wan was someone with her own ideas.

In the end, she followed the shop assistant’s advice but made some minor adjustments. Soon, Xia MO found three sets of outfits that she liked.

When she put them on, her whole demeanor changed.

Next was Lin Wan’s turn. She had initially insisted on selecting her own matching outfits, but after watching Xia MO try on clothes for so long, she lost the enthusiasm.

She lay on the sofa. “Let’s forget about these sets. Just pack them up.”

The shop assistant wasn’t surprised at all. “Alright, Ms. Lin, are you sure you don’t want to try them on?”

“I’m too tired to try. I’ll skip,” Lin Wan said.

So, the three of them started packing the clothes, and they even received two sweater chains as gifts.

When they left Mao’s store, four staff members followed them, each carrying clothes to their cars.

Xia MO was wearing her newly purchased eight-centimeter high-heeled boots. She looked very elegant.

Once they were in the car, Lin Wan let out a sigh of relief. “Mr. Li will be very happy today.”

“Wanwan, did you buy those clothes for role-play?” asked Xia Mo. She thought Lin Wan had bought so many outfits to spice up her life with Li Yanchen. “wnat(”

It took Lin Wan a moment to understand what Xia MO meant.

“Do you think I bought these clothes to role-play as different characters and excite Mr. Li? Xia, what’s going on in that head of yours?”

“We’re so familiar with each other, yet you’re still shy.” Xia MO smirked.

“Just focus on driving. It’s not a big deal. Mr. Li gave me a task. He insists that I buy at least ten items using his card,” Lin Wan said.

“Sister, you can’t even find a man like him if you search with a lantern. I envy you so much.”

Lin Wan wanted to say that it was a burden, but she felt like she was asking for trouble.

“Yes, he’s an unparalleled gentleman.”

“I’m going to be dissatisfied with Old Xiao.” Xia MO sighed. “No, I shouldn’t compare. Anyway, should I take you home or to Chenxin?”

Lin Wan glanced at the time. It was just four in the evening. “Let’s go to

Chenxin.”

Xia MO drove the car to the entrance and opened the trunk. “I’ll help you carry them up.”

“Sure. Thank you.”

When Lin Wan appeared at the company again, employees started gossiping in the company group chat.

[Wow… madam went shopping at Mao’s. Look at all those bags in her hands. Being a rich person must be so nice.]

[I wish I could experience the freedom of buying everything I want one day.]

[Sir is responsible for earning and supporting the family, while Madam is responsible for being beautiful as a flower.]

[Let’s work hard, sisters, and strive to achieve financial freedom soon.]

[No, my values are messed up. I want to find a rich man.]

[Sister Hong, throw a bucket of cold water to wake her up.]

[@Luoluo, Even rich people like capable women. The CEO won’t fall for just anyone.]

[Hahaha. ]

[She doesn’t work. She just knows gossiping and slacks off at work. @Assistant

Qin.]

[Who brought Assistant Qin into this?]
