Ye Leng’an was unaware of Zhou Cui’an’s complex feelings; she simply shook her head. “No need to try, just help me wrap them up!”
Zhou Cui’an didn’t say anything further. She directly took the bags Ye Leng’an had indicated to the counter.
Ye Leng’an was decisive, pulling out her card to pay the bill. After bidding farewell to Zhou Cui’an, she left her address for delivery and departed.
Watching Ye Leng’an’s carefree departure, Zhou Cui’an’s expression was complex, blending joy, envy, and a hint of burgeoning desire.
Although both were students at Capital University and even shared the same dormitory, their fates were starkly different. Ye Leng’an casually splurged hundreds of thousands on bags while Zhou Cui’an found herself serving like a maid. This brewed a hint of dissatisfaction within her.
Simultaneously, she yearned for such a life – free from worries about tuition or living expenses, able to browse luxury stores without price constraints.
As soon as Ye Leng’an left, the salespeople swarmed in. One experienced colleague spoke up sarcastically, “Oh, Xiao Zhou, I bet you made quite a profit from that sale! Probably tens of thousands, if not more. Even if you don’t treat us to dinner, at least afternoon tea!”
Zhou Cui’an snapped back to reality. Seeing her colleagues gathering around, she smiled and agreed. “Alright, I’ll treat you all to afternoon tea. What would you like?”
She could tell their envy stemmed from Ye Leng’an’s commission. Despite being a part-time job with a few days left, she planned to continue. Thus, she opted to maintain good relations to avoid future repercussions. Plus, her commission today was significant; treating them to tea was only a fraction of it.
Hearing Zhou Cui’an’s words, everyone’s mood lightened, and they began discussing what to eat.
One colleague sighed, “Xiao Zhou, your friend is truly wealthy! Spending over a hundred thousand on bags without hesitation. And did you see the Patek Philippe in her hand? Conservatively estimating, her spending today will surpass a million.”
Zhou Cui’an’s eyebrows twitched. “Really? How do you figure?”
“Don’t doubt it,” the colleague retorted, irked by Zhou Cui’an’s disbelief. “Didn’t you notice? She left her address for delivery. She probably visited multiple stores beforehand, all with home deliveries. Clearly, she’s spent quite a bit already. Plus, she looks like she’s going to continue shopping. So, her spending today must be over a million.”
With a hint of superiority, she continued, “Xiao Zhou, this is a fundamental skill for us salespeople! Keep at it, and you’ll develop this discernment too.”
Zhou Cui’an smiled but remained silent.
Unfazed by Zhou Cui’an’s lack of response, the colleague continued, “But, Xiao Zhou! Having such a friend is definitely beneficial for you. Stay on her good side and see if you can attend those upper-class events with her. At those events, if you manage to snag a wealthy husband, you’ll be set for life.”
With that, the crowd began to jest. But for Zhou Cui’an, those words planted a seed of contemplation.
Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an seemed much relieved after spending the day shopping.
Upon returning to the villa, most of her purchases had been delivered and piled up in the living room.
Sister Li had received many deliveries but refrained from organizing them without Ye Leng’an’s consent. Seeing Ye Leng’an return, she sought instructions on handling the goods.
Ye Leng’an reclined on the sofa, waving her hand nonchalantly. “Just put them in the utility room for now. I’ll sort them out when I have the time.”
With Ye Leng’an’s directive, Sister Li began tidying up the living room.
As she did, Huangfu Ruiling strolled in from outside.
Sometimes, Huangfu Ruiling stayed overnight at the villa, though they occupied separate rooms. Despite Ye Leng’an’s mature mentality, she was still young in this life.
No matter how uncontrollable Huangfu Ruiling might be, he would never cross any boundaries with her. Of course, he also couldn’t bring himself to harm her.
The two of them would usually hug and kiss each other, but as for deeper communication, it hadn’t happened yet, at least for the time being.
Hence, Huangfu Ruiling’s fingerprints and facial features were recorded, granting him easy access to the villa.
Seeing the piled-up bags in the living room, Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow and sat beside Ye Leng’an. “Feeling down?”
This was clearly Ye Leng’an’s spree. Such extravagant shopping likely aimed to lift her spirits.
“I’m alright, just a bit restless,” Ye Leng’an replied, shaking her head. “You know, I’ve been trying to break through to the Demigod Stage these past few days. But for some reason, I’m always a little short.”
Frustrated, she refrained from further cultivation to avoid adverse effects.
