The saleswoman was giving an enthusiastic pitch.

But Tan Hua wasn’t hearing a word of it, her eyes glued to the price that made her tremble.

"1.58 million?"

The rose gold watch face and its full circle of diamonds, set on a white alligator strap, perfectly complemented his girlfriend’s slender, fair wrist. Qi Sheng nodded, satisfied.

"Ring it up."

Qi Sheng didn’t hesitate, deciding to buy it on the spot.

"Mr. Qi, this watch, like the one you bought earlier, requires a premium of 120,000. Is that acceptable?"

The saleswoman was thrilled but still asked cautiously.

"Fine."

Qi Sheng didn’t mind the premium; what he wanted was the exclusivity.

’In the future, when she wears a 1.7 million watch, anyone with half a brain won’t dare to disrespect Tan Hua.’

A woman who could afford to wear a watch worth over a million.

’Would they dare to mess with the man behind her?’

...

Leaving the Roger Dubuis boutique, Tan Hua’s small hand, held tightly by her boyfriend, was damp with sweat, and her expression was a little dazed.

’A whole apartment, just like that, worn on my wrist.’

It was an experience unlike any she’d ever had, one that Tan Hua wouldn’t forget for a long time.

"Come on, this is nothing. If I buy you a ten-million-plus watch in the future, are you going to get so excited you faint?"

Seeing Tan Hua’s stunned expression, Qi Sheng could understand.

Anyone who suddenly had a million-plus watch on their wrist would find it hard to stay calm.

"Honey, thank you."

For the first time ever, Tan Hua threw her arms around Qi Sheng’s neck and kissed him right there in front of the passersby.

Although the International Gold Center wasn’t crowded, it still drew quite a few sideways glances.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, carrying a Roger Dubuis shopping bag no less.

It was hard for people not to look at them with envy.

"I’m getting hungry. Let’s go recharge our batteries first, and you can kiss me all you want tonight."

Qi Sheng put his arm around a breathless Tan Hua, teasing her with a smile.

"Who wants to kiss you?"

Tan Hua shot Qi Sheng a flirtatious side-eye.

Her stunningly beautiful face made Qi Sheng wish he could carry her back to the apartment right then and there.

They decided not to go far for the evening and just eat at National Gold nearby.

On the 5th floor of National Gold, there was a Shang-Jing Japanese buffet.

Qi Sheng pulled Tan Hua inside and found a table for two.

Without a second thought, he ordered twenty oysters to start, to "refill the tank."

Seeing how straightforward Qi Sheng was, the young waitress couldn’t help but look at him with a smile.

Blushing, Tan Hua gently kicked Qi Sheng under the table, signaling for him to tone it down a bit.

In any case, Qi Sheng ordered plenty of anything that was said to boost a man’s vitality.

He ended up making Tan Hua so shy she didn’t dare look up, instead just lowering her head and pretending to play on her phone.

"Haha, I’m putting in so much effort. Shouldn’t I get a reward tonight?"

Seeing Tan Hua’s bashful reaction, Qi Sheng found it especially amusing.

He suddenly remembered two things he’d forgotten to buy earlier.

"Mm, whatever you say."

’I really should satisfy him completely at home,’ Tan Hua thought. ’That’ll keep him from running off to other women.’

Qi Sheng asked with a smile, "Do you know any sales associates at Valentino or Balenciaga?"

"I do, why?"

"Perfect. We’ll go give them some business later. We’ll buy seven or eight pairs of high heels and a dozen or so pairs of the stockings with the logos on them."

Tan Hua immediately understood and rolled her eyes at Qi Sheng.

"Why buy such expensive ones? A single pair of the Balenciaga stockings is 1,800. I’ve already bought dozens and have them stocked up. Besides, you just tear a pair every time anyway."

"Good point. We’re not short on money, but we shouldn’t be wasteful. We’ll just buy a few pairs later."

Qi Sheng naturally approved of his girlfriend’s frugality.

For him, it was about the Balenciaga logo.

It was more about satisfying a little fetish from his past life.

If he didn’t get to experience the joy of hoisting up a pair of fair legs wrapped in Balenciaga stockings, this rebirth would be a waste.

"Whatever you say, okay?"

Tan Hua wasn’t as thick-skinned as Qi Sheng; she was too embarrassed to discuss such private matters in public.

For a buffet that cost 667 per person, the quality of the ingredients was naturally top-notch.

The crab and salmon were both excellent quality.

With Qi Sheng’s current Physique, his appetite was equal to three men his age.

Tan Hua, who hadn’t had much of an appetite, found herself eating a lot more just from watching the way Qi Sheng ate.

"It’s all your fault for making the food look so good. Now I’ll have to run five kilometers tonight just to burn off some of the calories."

Tan Hua was getting pretty good at turning the tables and blaming him.

"You won’t need to run five kilometers. The two of us ’working hard’ until dawn should be enough."

Qi Sheng glanced at the watch he’d just bought. It was almost eight o’clock.

If they went any later, the shops would be closing for the night.

"Shall we get going, then?"

Qi Sheng took the initiative and held his girlfriend’s soft, fair hand.

Especially in certain situations, it was a wonderful feeling for Qi Sheng.

"It’s not like we don’t have high heels at home. Let’s not buy any more, okay?"

Tan Hua couldn’t understand Qi Sheng’s obsession with Valentino’s studded heels and Balenciaga’s logo stockings.

"This is non-negotiable."

Unmoved, Qi Sheng pulled Tan Hua toward the escalators.

He also knew Tan Hua was sensitive. If her acquaintances saw her buying high heels and stockings, they would know exactly what they were for.

But what could she do? He liked it, so it had to happen.

They arrived at the Balenciaga boutique downstairs. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Tan Hua saw a familiar sales associate and had no choice but to say hello.

"Zixuan."

"Huahua, what are you doing here?"

This sales associate had a very chic aura about her.

But compared to Tan Hua, there was still a considerable gap.

"Those logo stockings you guys have... get me a few pairs. The black ones."

Seeing Zhuang Zixuan’s surprised and strange look, Tan Hua wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"I get it. These are our best-sellers. The price is between 1,800 and 2,500."

Zhuang Zixuan’s gaze swept casually over Tan Hua’s wrist, and her pupils instantly contracted.

As fellow sales associates, they all had a knack for identifying luxury goods.

Roger Dubuis, a top-tier luxury watch brand.

Their cheapest women’s watch cost over a hundred thousand.

But the watch on Tan Hua’s wrist was clearly not one of their entry-level pieces.

A diamond-covered bezel, a skeleton dial... it had to be at least a million!

"Huahua, did your boyfriend get you that watch?"

Zhuang Zixuan had lost all interest in making a sale, pointing curiously at Tan Hua’s wrist.

"Mhm, he just bought it for me."

Tan Hua caressed her wrist with a blissful expression, as if afraid she might smudge the watch face.

"GASP... That watch must be over a million, right?"

"The list price was 1.58 million, but we paid a premium, so it came to 1.7 million."

Tan Hua didn’t hide it. There were no secrets in the sales associate circle.

The sales associate at Roger Dubuis on the third floor knew her too.

By tomorrow, the news that she was wearing a 1.7 million watch would probably have spread throughout the International Gold Center’s sales associate group chat.

"Oh my god, 1.7 million?"

Zhuang Zixuan’s mind went blank, and she felt a little dizzy.

She couldn’t even imagine how happy she would be if she were wearing a 1.7 million watch.

With a boyfriend like that, forget just wearing stockings.

She would gladly wear the Emperor’s New Clothes for him.

"Huahua, you’re so lucky."

As a fellow sales associate, Zhuang Zixuan wouldn’t even dare to dream of finding such a rich boyfriend.

What’s more, Qi Sheng wasn’t just rich; he was incredibly handsome.

She had snuck a few glances earlier and had been stunned.

A tall, trim build, around six-foot-one, and a handsome face that could rival any male celebrity’s.

Add his terrifying financial power to the mix...

What woman wouldn’t be tempted?

"These pairs will be fine."

Tan Hua picked out a few of the more attractive pairs of black stockings and handed them to the still-dazed Zhuang Zixuan.

"Oh... okay. This way to check out."

Zhuang Zixuan snapped out of it and led Tan Hua to the register.

Qi Sheng had been about to pay, but Tan Hua wouldn’t let him, insisting on using her own card.

’Qi Sheng gave me such an expensive watch,’ she thought. ’He’s constantly buying me all sorts of designer clothes and bags. If I let him spend even this little bit of money, I wouldn’t have the face to stay by his side.’

’It’s all rather dramatic, when you think about it. At first, I never thought about finding a boyfriend who was super rich or super handsome. I was just afraid he’d be a player and dump me once he got tired of me. When I first met Qi Sheng, you couldn’t even call him cute. The only impressive thing about him was his Audi A8. He was pleasant-looking at best, not ugly. But in just over a month, Qi Sheng has become like a completely different person. Not only has he gotten more handsome, but his wealth is on a totally different level than what he first showed. If Qi Sheng had been like this back then, I never would have dared to date him. I would’ve been too afraid of getting played. But it’s too late for regrets now. I’ve already given him everything. Fortunately, Qi Sheng dotes on me. Every time he looks at me, it’s with a gaze that could melt me.’

After buying the Balenciaga stockings, they found a sales associate they knew at Valentino.

Tan Hua picked out two pairs of rather sexy studded heels to satisfy her boyfriend’s little fetish.

During this shopping trip, there was no shortage of gasps from her sales associate acquaintances.

Another sales associate was born, one exploding with envy.

Their boyfriends were definitely in for a scolding when they got home.

But none of that had anything to do with Qi Sheng.

Right now, not even Jesus Christ himself could stop him from shouldering his heavy burden.
