Upon entering the store, Eleven asked him, "Why didnât you try to stop me? You should have been like, âThis fills you up, how?â âCome with me to eat something that can actually make you feel full!â Is it too hard for you to bring me back from the path of impulsive shopping?"
Having a husband who never reigns in her shopping habits, she really was...
She was always someone who wasnât so interested in luxury goods, thinking that following the crowd was pointless, and that being poor was a fact. But Gu Liancheng spoiled her to the point that she developed a habitual illusion that no matter how frugal she usually was, as long as he stood next to her, not just these luxury goods but even the whole world seemed to belong to her!
It was that exaggerated.
Therefore, when he was with her, all these luxury items seemed worthless in her eyes, and she could buy buy buy freely. Frugality? The word ceased to exist.
"Why should I stop you? I make so much money, thereâs no way I can spend it all by myself. Itâs perfect to have you joining in on the spending."
"Oh my...!" Eleven made a surprised face and said, "You sure know how to make a woman feel good. What woman wouldnât feel happy hearing that?"
As Gu Liancheng spoke, he pulled out a shimmering bank card from his wallet and, holding it between his forefinger and middle finger, extended it towards her. "You could buy out the whole shop and I wouldnât mind. Go ahead, Your husband is paying."
"Wow!" Eleven also responded with a highly exaggerated surprised look, adoringly gazing at him with starry eyes. She theatrically praised, "Husband, youâre so generous! Shopping with you is so fun!"
Despite her overacting that was practically laughable, Gu Lianchengâs mood was lifted.
"As long as youâre happy."
While Gu Liancheng was sitting and waiting on the couch, Eleven made a trip around the store and collected all of her favorite new arrivals this season. Shop assistants buzzed around her like bees around a honey pot: the arrival of such a big spender was a windfall not to be wasted.
"Husband, I picked out some clothes for Feiâer too. Is that okay?"
"Whatever you like." Gu Liancheng responded, not even lifting his head from his magazine.
It wasnât long before Eleven took him to the counter to sign the bill.
"Thatâs it? Donât you want to look around more?"
"No more, thatâs all! Sign here please!" Eleven put the electronic signing machine in front of him.
The cashier girls, looking at the numerous large and small shopping bags on the counter and then back at the couple, felt envious beyond words.
As the same gender, they could only work in the store as salesclerks, while she was being pampered by the man in front of her. How could there be such a huge disparity?
Eleven inadvertently glanced at the electronic bill next to her, and despite being an "experienced shopper," and used to all this, she was still taken aback by the number with countless zeros. Hanging onto Gu Lianchengâs arm, she gasped and asked, laughing, "Husband, did I go overboard with the shopping?"
He glanced at the bill and signed casually, answering, "Not really."
Eleven beamed with a foolish smile at his reply.
Then he added, "Your shopping prowess has improved, keep it up."
The girls at the counter glanced at each other, driven crazy by jealousy.
This lady was so lucky! What kind of boyfriend did she have? A walking safe box, thatâs what!
"I..." Eleven stuttered, pointing to herself and said, "Iâm not usually like this. This was just a one-time thing."
The girlsâ thoughts went, we probably wonât even have such opportunity in our entire lives!
After Gu Liancheng finished signing, he said, "Get all these items sent over before today ends."
The cashier working the machine was dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at the couple.
