A woman’s love for handbags is practically written into her DNA.

Even Tan Hua found herself captivated by the two beautiful handbags.

Thinking about how Qi Sheng had spent a fortune on her, Tan Hua couldn’t help but break into a sweet smile.

Even the soreness from last night’s "roughhousing" with a certain someone faded considerably.

When she had first gone to work, she had still been feeling a little resentful.

A girl like her, going to a pharmacy to buy Yu Ting... she had been so embarrassed she’d wanted the ground to swallow her whole.

But a certain someone had been sleeping like a log, and she’d been in a rush to get to work. So she’d had no choice but to put on a mask, slip into the pharmacy, and quickly buy and take the medicine herself.

Tan Hua suddenly had a thought. If that certain someone didn’t "use an umbrella" again tonight, would she have to buy more medicine tomorrow?

But as she looked at the two handbags and recalled Qi Sheng’s thoughtful gesture of bringing her lunch...

Tan Hua silently pulled out her phone, opened a delivery app, and ordered a box of Yu Ting to be sent directly to Qi Sheng’s apartment.

’This is the last time. There absolutely won’t be a next time!’

Tan Hua silently made a resolution, though she had little confidence she could actually stick to it.

After leaving the LV store, Qi Sheng headed straight for the Cartier boutique.

Back in the store, he’d noticed that Miduo and the other saleswomen all wore Cartier watches.

Only Tan Hua’s wrists were bare—just two slender, fair arms.

’What other women have, my woman must have too. And hers has to be better.’

Qi Sheng didn’t know much about Cartier, other than that it was a top-tier luxury jewelry brand many women dreamed of owning.

As for the price, it was naturally high enough to be disheartening for the average person.

"Welcome to Cartier."

The moment Qi Sheng walked in, an enthusiastic saleswoman approached him.

"Hello, sir. How may I help you?"

The saleswoman’s smile was warm. She had a slender figure, a pretty face, and was wearing black stockings and high heels.

Among ordinary people, she would definitely be considered goddess-tier.

The system chimed in with a notification: another C-Level beauty with a score of 82.

Qi Sheng’s expression remained placid; he wasn’t the least bit captivated by her long, stocking-clad legs.

’If he wanted to see long legs in black stockings, it’s not like his own girlfriend didn’t have them.’

"I’d like to see your Ballon Bleu watches. I’m buying one for my girlfriend."

Qi Sheng stated his purpose simply and directly, having her lead him to the watch section.

"Of course. This way, please."

The saleswoman’s eyes dimmed for a fraction of a second, but she quickly regained her enthusiastic demeanor and led Qi Sheng to the watch display.

Saleswomen like her were desperate to get close to a man this tall, rich, and handsome.

Unfortunately, he already had a girlfriend.

Of course, the fact that he had a girlfriend did nothing to dampen their determination to climb the social ladder.

Maybe he’d break up with her at some point, and they’d have their chance while he was single.

Marrying a man like that wasn’t even that important.

As long as he was willing to spend money on them, they could always just find some honest programmer to settle down with in the end.

"Sir, these are all our Cartier Ballon Bleu collection watches. They range from the entry-level model at 38,900 yuan to the most expensive at 392,000 yuan. Please take a look and see which one catches your eye, and I can give you a more detailed introduction."

The saleswoman gestured toward the dazzling display of several dozen watches, inviting Qi Sheng to take his time choosing.

"Hm, this one’s nice."

’Qi Sheng had no intention of buying the most expensive one. That would just make him a total sucker.’

’Anyone who knew anything about watches knew the deal with Cartier. They were really only popular with women.’

’The movements and all that were absolute garbage.’

’They had no redeeming qualities besides their looks.’

’But buying a gift for his girlfriend, he certainly couldn’t pick the cheapest, entry-level model.’

’What would people say? Did he have no pride?’

’The saleswomen back at LV were pretty much all wearing the entry-level model.’

’With a price tag of nearly 40,000 yuan, he could only wonder which sucker had gritted his teeth and maxed out his credit card to buy it for them.’

"Sir, you have excellent taste. This is a premium model from the Ballon Bleu collection, priced at 135,000 yuan. It features a self-winding mechanical movement, a steel case, and a rose gold bezel set with 69 brilliant-cut round diamonds totaling 0.77 carats. It has sword-shaped blued-steel hands and a sapphire crystal face. It’s elegant and beautiful, and would definitely suit your girlfriend. It’s also very versatile for everyday wear."

Seeing that Qi Sheng didn’t flinch at the price, the saleswoman quickly added, "We’re currently offering a ten percent discount. What do you think?"

"The price is fine. I’ll take it. If the size isn’t right, I’ll have my girlfriend come get it adjusted. She works in this mall, too."

Qi Sheng was no different from most men when it came to shopping; if it felt right, he bought it.

A watch worth a little over 120,000 yuan after the discount was definitely high-class.

The watch he himself wore was only 230,000 yuan.

Watching Qi Sheng decide to buy so decisively, the saleswoman’s already hopeful heart began to flutter even more.

But no matter how she leaned over, trying to give Qi Sheng a better view of her figure, he remained completely unmoved.

"Your girlfriend works here in the mall?"

Hearing this, the saleswoman was both surprised and envious. She secretly wondered which little hussy had managed to snag this rich young master.

"She works at LV. She just started not long ago."

Qi Sheng hadn’t even mentioned a name, but he saw a look of dawning realization, followed by regret, on the saleswoman’s face.

"No wonder you spoil your girlfriend so much. Your girlfriend must be Tan Hua, right?"

The saleswoman gushed, "As soon as she started here at National Gold, she had countless customers hitting on her. I heard she had a boyfriend and ignored all of them. I never would have guessed her boyfriend was you! You and Tan Hua are such a perfect match!"

"Hm. Don’t ring me up just yet. Take me over to the jewelry section."

Qi Sheng smiled and gestured toward the jewelry section. This saleswoman knew how to talk, so it was only natural to give her a little more business.

"This way, please."

The saleswoman was overjoyed. She hadn’t expected him to buy jewelry after already purchasing a watch. Her envy for Tan Hua grew even stronger.

She’d willingly give up ten years of her life for a boyfriend like that.

The jewelry section—a woman’s paradise.

Qi Sheng glanced around and decided to buy Tan Hua a nail bracelet—another Cartier signature piece beloved by many women.

The Juste un Clou bracelet came in two models: small and large.

The small was 27,600 yuan, while the large was 103,000 yuan. They weren’t even in the same league.

"I’ll take the large one. Go ahead and wrap it up."

It took Qi Sheng less than ten seconds from the moment he saw the bracelet to the moment he decided to buy it.

What kind of wealth did a person need to possess such calm and effortless confidence?

The saleswoman didn’t understand it, but she was deeply impressed all the same.

When Qi Sheng said the words "wrap it up," she felt a strange reaction course through her body.

At the checkout counter, Qi Sheng pulled out an ordinary-looking Industrial and Commercial Bank card, one he’d had since before college.

The saleswoman didn’t dare underestimate it. She accepted the card respectfully with both hands and swiped it through the POS machine.

WHIRRR...

The machine spat out the receipt. Qi Sheng had spent 224,500 yuan.

Qi Sheng took the receipt and tossed it casually into the shopping bag.

After a respectful farewell from the saleswoman, he left the Cartier boutique.

A sale of over 200,000 yuan, and from a new high-roller no less, made the saleswoman who had served Qi Sheng absolutely ecstatic.

If a few more "wild" big spenders like him walked in, she’d have this month’s top sales spot locked down for sure.

Too bad she didn’t even get the chance to send him any "special benefits" featuring her black stockings.

He’d even left Tan Hua’s phone number for the contact information.

It wasn’t that the saleswoman wasn’t attractive enough; her private life was just too messy.

’Her "Special" score was only an 89, and she’d had enough boyfriends to nearly complete the Chinese zodiac.’

Qi Sheng was immensely grateful for the system’s scanning function. It allowed him to steer clear of quite a few "biohazards."

’It’s not that I demand a girl be "factory-sealed,"’ he thought, ’but I don’t want to pick up someone else’s sloppy seconds either.’
