Lin Xuan's gaze wavered.
If he nodded and admitted it outright, wouldn’t that make him seem overly sentimental?
But Su Hua was his girlfriend, and in the future, she would be his wife, the mother of his children. Admitting it shouldn’t be a big deal.
"That’s right, I don’t want other men seeing you like this," Lin Xuan said, pulling Su Hua’s slender waist closer with a firm hand. "Because you’re mine, and mine alone."
Su Hua smirked, her red lips curling mischievously. "But today, I’m afraid I can’t grant your wish, Ah Xuan."
When she had stepped out of the fitting room wearing that dress earlier, his eyes had lit up.
She had big plans for that dress, so she absolutely had to buy it.
"Wrap it up, please," Su Hua instructed the sales assistant.
"Yes, ma’am."
The sales assistant beamed as she packaged the dress.
Lin Xuan frowned.
Su Hua had always been obedient to him. In the past, she would have agreed without hesitation.
But this time, she was adamant about buying it.
Lin Xuan couldn’t figure out why, so he assumed she simply loved the miniskirt and wanted it for herself.
Remembering the other miniskirts he had picked out for her, Lin Xuan decided against letting her try them on and handed them back to the sales assistant.
"Put these away."
Su Hua walked over, glanced at the clothes in the assistant’s hands, and raised an eyebrow. "Ah Xuan, you don’t think these look good, do you?"
"Right," Lin Xuan said, avoiding her gaze. "They’re just average. No point wasting time trying them on."
"On the contrary, I think they’re quite nice. I’ll try them," Su Hua said with a playful smile.
"Hand them to me," she told the sales assistant.
"Yes, ma’am."
The assistant nodded and passed the clothes to Su Hua.
One by one, Su Hua tried on all three outfits. Not only that, she even asked the assistant to bring her more miniskirts in different colors and styles.
Lin Xuan watched, his temples throbbing.
Why was Su Hua buying so many miniskirts?
Was she changing her fashion sense, or…
Suddenly, he recalled the time she had seduced him while wearing a miniskirt.
Damn!
That had to be it.
No wonder her eyes had gleamed when she saw these skirts earlier—she was plotting something.
No way. He needed to keep her busy today, tire her out so she wouldn’t have the energy to unleash any surprises.
"Wrap all of these up," Su Hua ordered.
"Of course, miss."
The sales assistant couldn’t stop smiling. Each outfit cost over 100,000 yuan, and Su Hua was buying them without hesitation.
With this sale, her commission for the day would surpass her usual monthly salary and bonuses combined.
"I’ll pay," Lin Xuan said.
Though Su Hua had more money than she could ever spend, he still wanted to foot the bill.
Aside from the allowance she gave him, his own savings amounted to billions.
Spending this much was nothing to him.
"Check us out," Lin Xuan said grandly, handing his bank card to the assistant.
The assistant glanced enviously at Su Hua.
No wonder she could splurge like this—her boyfriend was footing the bill.
A handsome, wealthy, and charismatic man like him… this woman was truly lucky.
Su Hua’s eyes curved slightly.
The feeling of shopping freely while her boyfriend paid was rather nice.
"Sir, the total is 4.2 million yuan," the assistant said, taking the card.
After processing the payment, she quickly returned it to Lin Xuan.
"Here’s your card. Have a wonderful day, sir and miss."
The assistant was practically glowing. These two were her lucky stars.
In all her years working here, she had never seen anyone buy so much at once.
Lin Xuan and Su Hua didn’t carry the shopping bags themselves—their plainly dressed bodyguards took care of that.
Nearby, a few women watched, their voices dripping with envy.
"Another gold digger. Buying so much without a care—doesn’t she worry he’ll get fed up? Women like her will never be taken seriously by wealthy families. At best, she’ll be a mistress."
"Exactly. Look at that seductive vixen. Who knows how many men she’s slept with?"
"Tch. A woman like her will be dumped sooner or later. While she’s young, she can rely on her looks to trap men. But once she’s old, who’d want her?"
A young man passing by overheard and rolled his eyes.
"Sour grapes much? Your jealousy is practically flooding the mall. Calling her a mistress? If that man offered you the same deal, you’d be crawling to him in a heartbeat."
"You—!" The women’s faces twisted in fury.
"Hit a nerve, didn’t I?" The young man scoffed. "You’re just bitter. His girlfriend is gorgeous and elegant. Even if you threw yourselves at him, he wouldn’t spare you a glance."
A few bystanders burst into laughter.
"Who do you think you are? This is none of your business!" one woman snapped.
"Call me the Unofficial Justice Bringer. Specializing in putting entitled princesses in their place," he said smugly as he walked away.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan and Su Hua passed by a lingerie store.
"Ah Xuan, I think it’s time to update my lingerie collection," Su Hua said, her eyes glinting.
Lin Xuan puffed out his chest. "Then let’s buy some!"
Now that he was loaded, she could spend his money however she pleased.
Hand in hand, they entered the store.
Su Hua picked out a few practical sets.
Noticing how affectionate they were, the sales assistant smiled. "Sir, miss, we also carry some… special pieces for couples. Would you like to take a look?"
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
This looked like a normal lingerie shop—how did they have those?
Every time Su Hua wore something like that, his kidneys suffered.
No way. They couldn’t buy any.
"N—"
Before he could finish, Su Hua cut in. "Please show us."
"Right this way," the assistant said, gesturing toward the back.
She led them to a secluded section filled with an array of provocative outfits—maid costumes, kitten and bunny sets, sheer lace dresses, and more.
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
So. Many.
