Chapter 289: Chapter 270: Random Task, Advanced Reward?

"Right away!"

Hearing Ye Ling’s words, the young sales associate’s eyes flashed with excitement.

Customers as decisive as Ye Ling were rare. Working in a duty-free shop, she constantly dealt with people haggling, but even after all that bargaining, very few actually ended up buying anything.

Even though the duty-free shop was always bustling, most people only came because they thought it was cheap.

The moment they heard a bag cost tens of thousands?

Forget it!

But a duty-free shop isn’t the place for bargain-hunting. They sell high-end luxury brands. If you want something for nine-ninety-nine with free shipping, you should stick to those bargain shopping apps!

In the end, Ye Ling bought Ning Ruoxi a GG cut-out knit wool cropped cardigan and a long black wool shirt, planning to give them to her to wear on the trip back.

"Okay, okay, don’t buy any more. Two pieces are enough," Ning Ruoxi said, tugging on Ye Ling’s sleeve when she saw he intended to keep browsing.

"Alright, just these then. And grab that bag from before, too."

Ye Ling shrugged and said casually.

The sales associate standing nearby was about to lose her mind. ’Dude, that’s two bags plus two wool cardigans, for a total of 100,000 yuan! Can you please not act like you’re buying vegetables at a wet market?’

In truth, for the current Ye Ling, it really did feel like buying vegetables at a wet market.

A net worth of 6.5 billion, you know?

This was just pocket change!

Ye Ling paid and walked out of the Gucci store, holding Ning Ruoxi’s hand.

Since none of the long dresses at Gucci had caught his eye, Ye Ling decided to try Dior this time, which had a better reputation.

He’d seen Dior dresses a few times before, and they were more or less within his range of acceptable aesthetics.

"Now this feels a lot more normal!"

Walking into the store and seeing the Dior dresses, Ye Ling couldn’t help but sigh with relief as he compared them to what he’d seen at Gucci.

PFFT.

Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

’To be honest, she felt the exact same way as Ye Ling. Maybe Gucci’s designers should have a few more drinks with Dior’s and talk about design?’

To prevent Ye Ling from going into "shopping spree" mode again, Ning Ruoxi started picking things out for herself.

Generally speaking, Dior’s dresses were more in line with the aesthetic tastes of people from Xia Country. The lighter-colored ones, in particular, managed to be both alluring and possessed a woman’s proper grace.

Ning Ruoxi browsed carefully and eventually made a preliminary selection of three dresses: one ivory white, one pale yellow, and one light brown.

Just as Ye Ling expected, they were all light colors!

"Which of these three looks best?"

Ning Ruoxi turned to Ye Ling and asked for his opinion.

"Go try them on. I can’t really tell anything just by looking at them like this."

Ye Ling said.

"Okay."

Ning Ruoxi nodded and took the ivory white dress first.

A moment later, Ning Ruoxi emerged, clad in the long dress.

The dress featured lace trim, adding a touch of allure to the elegant white garment. The fit was perfect, flawlessly accentuating Ning Ruoxi’s figure.

"It looks great!"

Ye Ling nodded immediately, showing his approval.

"I think it looks pretty good too."

Ning Ruoxi stood in front of the mirror and gave a little twirl.

"Now try on the other two."

Ye Ling added.

At Ye Ling’s request, Ning Ruoxi tried on all three dresses.

All three long dresses suited Ning Ruoxi’s temperament, but the first one—the ivory white one—looked as if it had been custom-designed just for her!

"Which one do you think looks best?"

Ning Ruoxi looked at Ye Ling and asked.

"I think they all look great..."

Ye Ling paused for a moment, then looked at the nearby sales associate. "We’ll take them all!"

At that moment, the sales associate felt the exact same way her counterpart at the Gucci store had.

’Damn it.’

’He’s taking all of them? Just like that?’

’Usually, she had to talk herself hoarse with customers who, in the end, would probably just browse and not buy anything...’

’But with Ye Ling, he was ready to pay before she’d even started her sales pitch?’

’I’m sorry, my poverty has clearly limited my imagination!’

"No, don’t. One long dress is enough. We’ve bought them before..."

Ning Ruoxi said with some hesitation.

"It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s no big deal to buy a few extra. You can wear them during our time in Yazhou."

Ye Ling waved his hand dismissively and handed his bank card directly to the sales associate.

Although he had transferred most of his assets to his personal investment account at Celestial Dragon Investment Company, his private account still held over ten million yuan for pocket money.

Over ten million. For pocket money. Just let that sink in!

DING!

’The Spring Festival is here! How can it be celebrated without jewelry? Random mission triggered: Purchase over 500,000 yuan worth of jewelry for Ning Ruoxi and receive one high-grade reward!’

Just then, a notification sound echoed in Ye Ling’s mind, and he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

’A high-grade reward?’

’Sounds impressive!’

"Let’s keep looking around."

Ye Ling took Ning Ruoxi’s hand and continued to wander casually through the duty-free shop.

The duty-free shop didn’t just have luxury clothing brands and skincare products; it also housed many famous jewelry stores!

However, the crowd browsing the jewelry stores was noticeably different from those in the luxury clothing and skincare shops—they were, on average, much older.

Xia Country’s middle-aged aunties, you know?

"What are we doing here?"

Ning Ruoxi was taken aback when she realized Ye Ling had led her to the jewelry section.

"It’s the New Year, so I’m buying you some jewelry."

Ye Ling said casually.

’In truth, even if the system mission hadn’t been triggered, he had already planned on buying Ning Ruoxi some jewelry. They had been together for so long, but aside from the diamond ring last time, he hadn’t really bought her many jewelry gifts. He wanted to make it up to her!’

"You don’t have to..."

Ning Ruoxi shook her head instinctively.

"Alright, be good. This time, you’ll listen to me."

Ye Ling wrapped an arm around Ning Ruoxi’s waist and said in a domineering tone, "You’re my woman now. You definitely can’t have less jewelry than other women!"

"You’re terrible!"

Ning Ruoxi shot Ye Ling a flirtatious glare.

’She knew, of course, what Ye Ling meant by ’you’re my woman’...’

Compared to before, Ning Ruoxi truly was Ye Ling’s now!

Thinking of this, Ning Ruoxi didn’t refuse him.

’Although she would never demand that Ye Ling spend money on her, she was still very happy when he did so proactively—in fact, it made her even happier than if she had asked for it!’

’Isn’t there a saying on the internet?’

’In a relationship, things that are forced have no meaning. Only spontaneous actions hold true value.’

Ye Ling led Ning Ruoxi into the Van Cleef & Arpels boutique. Van Cleef & Arpels was by no means a low-tier brand; it was one of the world’s top ten jewelry brands, ranked just one spot below Cartier.

It could be said that Ye Ling’s actions perfectly matched his earlier words: he would absolutely not let her be worse off than other women!

Ning Ruoxi’s pretty face was bright red. ’Ye Ling’s domineering side... is really quite charming,’ she thought.

"Sir, are you looking to select some jewelry for this young lady?" A sales associate approached them as soon as they walked in and asked.

In a Van Cleef & Arpels boutique, there weren’t many people Ye Ling’s age.

After all, an international luxury jewelry brand like this wasn’t something ordinary young people could afford!

"Yes, can you give us a recommendation?"

Ye Ling said casually.

"Your girlfriend is exceptionally beautiful; I think any jewelry would look wonderful on her. However, I would particularly recommend our Four-Leaf Luck collection. It’s made with 18K rose gold and includes necklaces and bracelets..." the associate said, walking over to the counter to introduce it to Ye Ling.

"Take them out so we can have a look."

Ye Ling spoke, feeling that it suited Ning Ruoxi’s temperament.

"Of course," the associate replied, taking out a tray that held a bracelet and a necklace.

"Want to try them on?"

Ye Ling turned to look at Ning Ruoxi.

With the sales associate’s help, Ning Ruoxi put on the bracelet and necklace. The rose-gold jewelry made her skin look exceptionally fair and delicate, and her entire aura seemed to elevate to another level.
