Rebirth: I have Monopoly System
Chapter 57: The Gift and the Return
Qi Fei came to her senses. A little shy, she buried her head in Wu Yun’s chest, using the flowers to hide her face.
Song Qin and the other two were still hooting and hollering, the flashes from their phones flickering non-stop.
Qi Fei looked up, staring into Wu Yun’s eyes, and asked, "Xiaoyunzi, when did you go buy these flowers? And this gift? Weren’t we together all day?"
Wu Yun smiled. "I ordered them for delivery while you were all off shopping for clothes."
"As for what’s in this box, I prepared it a while ago. You’ll have to open it and see for yourself what it is," Wu Yun said, feigning mystery.
Qi Fei chose not to open it on the spot. Instead, she just gave Wu Yun a kiss on the cheek before hugging the flowers and leading Song Qin and the other two women toward the RV.
Wu Yun saw that Qi Fei’s affection for him had already soared to 90. ’This last-minute confession was pretty effective,’ he thought. ’And I even made it to first base with Qi Fei.’
Seeing the photographer who had just been taking their pictures start to pack up his camera, Wu Yun walked over. "Hi, could you send me the photos you just took? How much do you charge?"
The artsy-looking photographer, who wore a baseball cap and had his hair in a ponytail, smiled. "Bro, even if you hadn’t asked, I was going to find you. Let’s exchange contact info. I’ll send you the photos after I’ve done some post-processing."
"The raw photos won’t show the Milky Way."
"As for the fee, it’s free. I just wanted to ask for your permission—I’d like to post them on my personal social media page, so I’ll need you to sign off on it."
"No problem!" The two exchanged WeChat contacts.
Just then, Qi Fei and the other three women came back from the RV, laughing and talking. They switched into standard tourist photo mode, with Qi Fei constantly pulling Wu Yun into various intimate poses for pictures together.
.........
Inside the RV, Li Yao urged Qi Fei, "Feifei, hurry up and open that little box! Let us see what your Xiaoyunzi got you!"
Qi Fei glanced at Wu Yun, seeking his opinion with her eyes. After he nodded, she slowly untied the neatly wrapped ribbon.
Beaming, Qi Fei unwrapped the gift paper from the box, revealing the packaging inside. It was a square box, with the Jaeger-LeCoultre name and logo visible.
"Wow! It’s a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch! Feifei, your Xiaoyunzi is so generous!" Li Yao exclaimed when she saw the logo. She remembered the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch on Wu Yun’s wrist and felt a pang of envy.
"Xiaoyunzi, I can’t accept this. A Jaeger-LeCoultre is too valuable!" Qi Fei quickly refused. The last time she’d gone with Wu Yun to the Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique, she had learned that their watches were among the most luxurious.
Wu Yun waved his hand. "Senior, last time you asked me to go shopping with you, I said I wanted to buy you a watch. Do you remember what you said?"
"I offered to buy you a supercar, but you refused, saying your dad was going to buy you a 911 when you got your license. You also said there was nothing between us, so you couldn’t accept such an expensive gift."
Wu Yun’s words stunned the other three roommates. They never expected Qi Fei’s family to be so rich. She was always so low-key at school that they assumed she came from an ordinary, well-off family.
They were even more surprised that Wu Yun had been willing to buy Qi Fei a supercar. But seeing the watch he had just bought, it all made sense. Even if they hadn’t personally come into contact with such luxury goods, they were constantly exposed to them at school outside of class.
"Go on, open it. Last time, you said there was nothing between us, so you couldn’t accept my gift. But now you’re my girlfriend, so it’s perfectly normal for you to accept a gift from me, right?" Wu Yun said, his tone firm.
He then added, "There’s another reason I’m giving this to you. It’s to make certain clowns back off. After all, we’ll be in different places when the semester starts, and this will save me a lot of trouble."
Unable to refuse Wu Yun, Qi Fei gave in and opened the box. The face of a watch was revealed, its surrounding ring of diamonds glittering under the RV’s lights.
A crescent moon occupied the six o’clock position on the dial, surrounded by constellations set with diamonds.
Girls generally have a special fondness for shiny things. Even someone as androgynous as Zeng Shengnan was no exception; her eyes lit up as she stared at the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch.
"Try it on!" Wu Yun took out the watch. He touched the satin strap—the sales associate had said it was made of satin—and it felt very smooth.
He removed the Breguet from Qi Fei’s wrist and gently fastened the new watch for her. The white gold dial, complemented by deep blue accents, made the skin of her wrist look exceptionally fair.
"How much did you spend this time? With all these diamonds, it couldn’t have been cheap, right?" Qi Fei asked softly, feeling a bit helpless about Wu Yun’s extravagant spending habits.
Before Wu Yun could speak, Li Yao, holding the receipt from the box, shrieked, "Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous series, model 3533490! Price: 450,000! 450,000!"
Song Qin and Zeng Shengnan were shocked, but also envious. They envied Qi Fei for finding a rich and generous "little puppy"!
"Don’t make such a big fuss. Even if Senior wanted a Ferrari, I’d buy her one for 4.5 million!" Wu Yun said. Qi Fei was deeply moved. She knew Wu Yun was rich, but she had also seen plenty of wealthy men who were unwilling to spend on their girlfriends or wives.
"Alright! It’s getting late. Let’s wash up and get to bed! We have to get back on the road tomorrow!" Seeing that the four excited women weren’t listening, Wu Yun gave up and went to take a shower himself, leaving them to pass around and admire Qi Fei’s new watch.
When Wu Yun came out of the bathroom wearing a tank top and shorts, he saw the four women still sitting in the booth, chatting.
"Get your butts moving! I need to set up the bed!" Wu Yun shooed them out.
"Oh, right! Remember to conserve water!"
......
Happy times are always fleeting. For the next five days, the group drove along National Highway 318, leaving their mark at all the scenic spots along the way.
During this time, Wu Yun received a call from a headhunter. He knew it was time to return.
Traveling is exhausting. You don’t feel it when the fun is just starting, but the moment they heard it was time to head back, their previous excitement vanished—Qi Fei included. All four women slumped listlessly in the booth, letting Wu Yun drive them back to Rongcheng.
Upon returning to the RV rental center, Wu Yun settled the final payment, and the group began packing up their things from the vehicle.
Wu Yun looked at the large bundle of bedding with a headache. Spotting the bald owner, he said, "Boss, I don’t need this bedding! It’s all yours!"
The owner looked at the practically new quilts and nodded.
Riding in the company’s GL8, they went straight to Shida Modern Garden. Wu Yun didn’t go back with Qi Fei and the others. Instead, he handed the keys to Qi Fei. "Senior, I have some things to take care of at my company. You guys go back and rest first!"
.......
Back at the company, Wu Yun went to Li Qiuliang’s office. "President Li, you were looking for me?"
"President Wu! You’re back! Did you have a good trip?" Li Qiuliang had seen Wu Yun’s social media posts. An RV trip with one guy and four beautiful women—a scenic view in itself, enough to make anyone envious.
It should be noted that Wu Yun had found a "Player’s Godly Item" in the System Shop: an Auto-Blocker. For the price of one million, it could automatically hide his social media posts from any women he’d had "deep contact" or an "intimate relationship" with, and also had customizable settings.
