Chapter 291: Chapter 271: High-End Jewelry Worth 5 Million

When the saleswoman heard the final click of the transaction, her expression turned to one of pure excitement as she bowed to Ye Ling.

She had just sold a five-million-yuan piece of high-end jewelry; her commission would be anything but small. Moreover, this could be chalked up as a major life experience!

’Sold a 5-million-yuan high-end jewelry set while working at Van Cleef & Arpels?’

That would look incredible on a resume!

"Please wrap it up."

Ye Ling didn’t hesitate and accepted the VIP card.

He had just spent nearly five million at Van Cleef & Arpels, a truly significant sum. It was basically half of his current bank balance.

However, Ye Ling wasn’t the least bit concerned about the expenditure. He didn’t even feel the slightest pinch.

This brings us back to Brother Ling’s philosophy on spending. And that philosophy was simple: money must be spent on things that are worthwhile!

’Sure, I spent a lot of money, but it was for Ning Ruoxi. It’ll make her happy, and I’ll enjoy seeing her wear the jewelry. Isn’t that a win-win?’

What’s more, the system was now granting Ye Ling a reward...

’DING!’

’Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission! You have received one Advanced Gift Pack. Open now?’

’DING!’

’For exceeding the mission requirements and demonstrating the charm of an ideal modern man in front of Ning Ruoxi, the system has awarded a bonus: one Advanced Spending Rebate Card.’

’Advanced Spending Rebate Card: When the Host makes a purchase, this card can randomly trigger a rebate of 1 to 10 times the amount spent. The spending cap is 5 million.’

’Note: The rebate will be deposited into the Host’s personal investment account at Celestial Dragon Investment Company. The funds are sourced from stock market profits, so their legitimacy is guaranteed!’

He set aside the Advanced Gift Pack for the moment. After all, it was the first time he’d ever gotten one, so he had no idea what it contained.

However,

he figured it wouldn’t be anything useless.

It was an *Advanced* Gift Pack, after all!

If it gave him something like a free yogurt coupon... Ye Ling would absolutely lose it and curse the system out. ’Is it fucking messing with me?’

Right now, what Ye Ling was most satisfied with was that extra reward.

The Advanced Spending Rebate Card!

According to the system’s description, if Ye Ling spent five million and used the Advanced Spending Rebate Card, he could trigger a one- to ten-times multiplier for his rebate.

In other words... even with the worst possible luck, he would at least get his five million back, breaking even!

And if his luck was especially good and he triggered the ten-times rebate, that would be fifty million.

Just imagine it: you spend five million, only to get fifty million back. What kind of feeling is that?

Life probably couldn’t get any better than that!

Ye Ling had wanted to use the rebate card on this purchase, but the system informed him that this particular transaction wasn’t eligible.

’Oh well!’

Ye Ling shrugged. He wasn’t too bothered. He could just save it for next time.

Taking the newly purchased jewelry from the saleswoman, Ye Ling walked out of Van Cleef & Arpels, holding Ning Ruoxi’s hand.

Ning Ruoxi clung to Ye Ling’s arm, looking utterly sweet. In her heart, she was truly touched.

After all, not everyone was willing to spend such a fortune on their partner!

Hadn’t she seen countless posts online from people who endlessly complained about the cost of a dinner date?

As for someone as generous as Ye Ling, spending five million on jewelry for his partner...

That was something you only found in your next life!

Did being moved by money necessarily make you a gold digger?

Not at all!

Ning Ruoxi, for one, was certainly no gold digger. She was a bona fide rich woman in her own right and had no need for it, yet she was still moved...

Logically speaking, the prerequisite for being moved is sacrifice from the other person. And wasn’t spending money the most obvious form of sacrifice?

Of course.

That wasn’t to say you couldn’t be in love without money; different things moved different people.

Some people were moved by lavish gifts, others by warm companionship, and still others by sweet nothings...

At its core, a relationship was just about finding your other half to fill in the missing pieces of your life.

"Want to walk around a bit more?"

Ye Ling asked Ning Ruoxi.

"No, we’ve already spent so much money. Let’s go back."

Ning Ruoxi shook her head. Seeing that Ye Ling seemed about to say something else, she blinked and said, "You spent so much on me this time... I want to go home and thank you properly..."

Ye Ling couldn’t help but turn to look at her. Seeing her sweet smile and hearing her sugary-soft words, his gaze immediately grew hot.

’Thank me?’

’How is she going to thank me?’

’Our Righteous Giant isn’t so easily bribed by a Fox Demon!’

"Alright! We’re going home now."

Ye Ling said immediately.

The driver had been waiting the whole time Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi were eating and shopping, so when Ye Ling contacted him, he responded right away.

"Sir, are we heading back to the ocean-view apartment?"

the driver asked.

"Yes."

Ye Ling nodded, then added, "And step on it, please."

The main reason was that this little vixen wasn’t behaving herself; her hands were roaming all over him, and it was pure torture!

Although it was dark out, the driver still noticed some of what was happening in the back through the rearview mirror. But he quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look again.

He was a professionally trained driver; the number one rule was to protect the client’s privacy!

About half an hour later, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi returned to the ocean-view apartment. The moment they were inside, Ye Ling scooped Ning Ruoxi up and tossed her onto the bed.

"Hey, be gentle..."

Ning Ruoxi furrowed her delicate brows and shot Ye Ling a dissatisfied glare.

’Can’t this guy be a little gentler?’

"Hmph! You little rascal, what were you up to in the car just now?"

Ye Ling ignored her complaint, snorting as he spoke.

’This little vixen is really asking for it!’

’Daring to provoke Brother Ling?’

"What do you think I was doing?"

Hearing this, Ning Ruoxi simply raised an eyebrow, not the least bit afraid. "Testing your patience, of course!"

"Testing my patience?"

The corner of Ye Ling’s mouth twitched.

Honestly, he never would have expected Ning Ruoxi to say something like that.

’What the hell.’

’Are you sure this is the same incomparably pure, innocent, and adorable Ning Ruoxi from before?’

’How did she get so full of dirty jokes!’

"Little one, I’m going to have to teach you a proper lesson today, or you’ll be running wild."

Ye Ling pretended to be angry, furrowing his brow as he pounced on Ning Ruoxi on the bed.

Amidst her cry of surprise, the fierce battle between the Fox Demon and the Righteous Giant erupted once again.

This battle was even more ferocious than the last.

This was mainly because the Little Fox Demon’s fighting spirit was particularly strong today. At the very least, her will to fight was intense, as if she was trying to turn the tables on Ye Ling, who always came out on top.

But Ye Ling was no pushover. He unleashed one ultimate martial arts technique after another. The Little Fox Demon managed to gain the upper hand at first, but she soon started to lose her advantage...

...

About an hour and a half later, the great battle finally drew to a close.

This battle had been truly draining!

Even Ye Ling felt a bit exhausted facing Ning Ruoxi’s uncharacteristically fierce fighting spirit.

"You’re too mean!"

Ning Ruoxi was in no better shape than Ye Ling. She felt as if her entire body was about to fall apart.

So, in the end, had Brother Ling still won this great battle?

"How am I mean?"

Ye Ling asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You just love to bully me!"

Ning Ruoxi pouted and gave Ye Ling a playfully resentful glare.

She really had the will to fight this time, but unfortunately, she was still defeated in the great battle between the Righteous Giant and the Fox Demon...

It left her feeling quite dejected!

"Weren’t you enjoying it just as much?"

Ye Ling snorted, but a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

’The Little Fox Demon actually thought she could get the upper hand this time?’

’What a pipe dream!’

’If a magnificent Righteous Giant let a Little Fox Demon get the upper hand, what would the world come to?’
