Wrap It Up If You Like It

Lu Yun knew this amount of money meant nothing to Su Yang.

But she still felt too embarrassed to accept such expensive gifts.

Though their relationship had already gone beyond mere friendship, neither had openly acknowledged it as romantic—neither had mustered the courage to break that delicate barrier.

As a girl, she couldn’t bring herself to ask Su Yang directly, and Su Yang, for his part, remained silent about it.

So she was stuck in this awkward limbo.

Even if they were officially a couple, given Lu Yun’s personality, she wouldn’t feel comfortable letting him splurge on her like this.

But Su Yang didn’t care about any of that. He simply wanted to buy things for "his woman," and that was that.

Since their reunion, Su Yang hadn’t given Lu Yun much—except for "lending" her 100,000 yuan to buy an A4L.

But on paper, that was just a loan, and Lu Yun never asked Su Yang for anything else.

Before Lu Yun could say more, Su Yang walked toward the counter displaying necklaces.

On the other side, Little Liu approached the front desk with a beaming smile.

Sister Chen, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Why so happy? Are those two still here?"

Little Liu grinned. "That handsome guy picked out this Sweet Alhambra bracelet and asked me to wrap it up for him."

"What?" Sister Chen froze, staring at the bracelet in Little Liu’s hand. "Seriously? He’s actually buying it?"

"Well, I don’t know either. He just told me to pack it without even letting me explain much."

"No way! Are they still looking around?"

"Seems like they’re planning to buy something else too."

Hearing this, Sister Chen’s eyes gleamed as she smiled. "Little Liu, you wrap this up first. I’ll go take a look."

"Uh… sure." Little Liu understood Sister Chen’s intentions—if Su Yang bought anything else now, she wouldn’t get the sales commission.

Sister Chen straightened her collar and walked over to Su Yang and Lu Yun, who were browsing necklaces, with a practiced smile.

"Sir, are you interested in necklaces?"

Su Yang glanced up and recognized the middle-aged saleswoman from earlier.

Expressionless, he nodded. "Yeah, just looking."

"Great! Let me introduce some options for you."

"No need. Just call that young lady from before—I’d prefer her to explain."

"..."

"Uh, I’m the sales manager here. That girl isn’t very familiar with some of our products. I can provide more professional service," Sister Chen explained patiently.

If Su Yang could casually drop over 90,000 yuan on a bracelet and was now eyeing even pricier necklaces, he clearly had the means. She had misjudged him earlier and missed out on the bracelet’s commission—she wasn’t about to let another opportunity slip away.

Su Yang turned away without another word. He had already noticed Sister Chen’s subtle expressions.

He knew that kind of look all too well. What, just because she sold luxury goods, she thought she was better than others?

Su Yang despised people who looked down on others. Back when he was just an employee, he’d often been belittled by his boss.

That condescending attitude was something he’d never forget, and he refused to humor people like that now.

Back then, he had no choice—he was poor and working under someone. But now? Let a saleswoman look down on him?

Su Yang turned back to Sister Chen, his tone icy. "I said, call that girl over. I don’t care if you’re the manager—I don’t want your help."

Stunned by his blunt refusal, Sister Chen flushed with embarrassment and irritation. "Fine. Whatever."

She shot him a glare when his back was turned and stormed off.

"Little brat, acting all high and mighty!"

Returning to the counter, she grabbed a bottle of water and took a frustrated sip.

Meanwhile, Little Liu had finished wrapping the bracelet. Seeing Sister Chen return, she asked innocently, "Huh? Sister Chen, aren’t you helping them?"

"Help my foot. That little punk’s putting on airs—he doesn’t want me."

"Oh… why’s that?" Little Liu knew exactly how Sister Chen operated but played dumb.

"Who knows? Maybe he thinks he’s too good for us. You go deal with them."

"Sure thing." Little Liu smiled and headed back to Su Yang without another word.

"Hmph!" Sister Chen plopped into her seat and pulled out her phone, sulking.

......

After browsing a while longer, Su Yang’s eyes landed on a delicate necklace with a black petal pendant.

"Lu Yun, come here. What do you think of this one?"

Lu Yun stepped closer and looked down. The price tag beside the small pendant read 150,000 yuan.

Her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth. "Su Yang, this is way too expensive!"

"It’s fine. Just tell me—do you like it?"

"Well… it is beautiful."

"Then try it on." Su Yang turned to Little Liu with a smile. "Little Liu, right? Could you take this necklace out and let her try it?"

"Of course!" Little Liu nodded cheerfully, carefully retrieving the exquisite pendant.

Standing behind Lu Yun, she said, "Miss, let me put it on for you."

"Uh, okay." Lu Yun had no choice but to comply.

Su Yang tilted his head, admiring the sight, and clapped. "Stunning. It suits you perfectly! Right, Little Liu?"

"Absolutely! This lady is so beautiful—anything would look amazing on her."

Su Yang chuckled in agreement.

"Miss, here—take a look in the mirror." Little Liu held up a handheld mirror for Lu Yun.

As Lu Yun examined herself, Little Liu continued, "This piece is from the Rose de Noël collection, crafted with diamonds and gemstones—a symbol of elegance and romance."

"The black petal you’re touching is made from mother-of-pearl, which complements your grace perfectly."

"It’s also convertible—the petal can be detached and worn as a brooch. The design adapts to any occasion, whether as a pendant or a pin."

Lu Yun listened while tilting her head slightly, studying the pendant in the mirror. Of course she loved it.

But the price made her quickly say, "Please take it off now."

"Oh? Don’t you like it, miss?"

"I do, but it’s just too much!"

Su Yang cut in smoothly. "If you like it, we’re getting it. Little Liu, wrap it up."

"Su Yang! No, we’re not buying this!" Lu Yun protested urgently.

Ignoring her, Su Yang repeated to Little Liu, "Wrap it."

"Got it!" Little Liu knew who made the decisions. Smiling, she took the pendant and walked off.

"Su Yang!!" Lu Yun stomped her foot in frustration.

"This is too much—150,000 yuan! It’s way too extravagant!"

Su Yang shrugged nonchalantly with a smile, "I knew you'd think it's expensive. That's why I didn’t even let you try the ones priced at several hundred thousand. This one isn’t too bad—girls should have some exquisite jewelry, after all."

"But..."

"No buts. Let’s keep looking."

"No more looking!" Lu Yun grabbed Su Yang’s hand and shook her head. "We’ve got enough accessories already. Let’s go check out the clothes instead!"

Su Yang thought for a moment, then nodded with a grin. "Fine. We can always come back if we need anything else later."

As the two approached the checkout counter, Sister Chen, standing nearby, grew even more furious upon learning that Su Yang had picked out another pendant worth 150,000 yuan.

Still, she kept her composure, her face stiff and silent as she lingered to the side.

Little Liu carefully packaged the pendant in an elegant box before asking, "So, just these two items for you today, sir and madam?"

"Mm-hmm. Let’s hear the total," Su Yang replied.

"Of course." After a quick calculation, Little Liu smiled. "Sir, you’ve selected one bracelet and one pendant. The total comes to 243,500 yuan."

"Got it. We’ll pay via WeChat."
