Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The Gift of Reciprocity

This time, with his luxury shopping spree at Wanlong City, Li Jing spent a total of three hundred thousand, the system returned a reward of three million, and now he has a savings of six million three hundred thousand in cash.

Although Li Jing still can't compare to those truly wealthy people, having over six million in cash allows him to practically stride confidently and leisurely through any spending venue in Celestial Sea City, except for some special large expenditures.

Among the three hundred thousand spent, it included the LV bag chosen by Zhang Xinxin, which cost twenty-three thousand yuan.

Regarding LV's ladies' handbags, Li Jing took a cursory glance and found the cheapest one priced at seventeen or eighteen thousand, with the more expensive ones going for several hundred thousand.

The one Zhang Xinxin selected was considered relatively inexpensive, although she didn't deliberately pick the cheapest one.

Li Jing was quite satisfied with Zhang Xinxin's choice.

Though twenty thousand may seem a lot, regarding luxury brand bags, Li Jing could sense that Zhang Xinxin was doing her best to suppress her purchasing desire.

After all, Li Jing didn't set any price limit for her; whether she chose expensive or cheap was entirely up to Zhang Xinxin's discretion.

So far, it seems Zhang Xinxin knows when to be content.

"Alright, stop looking at it, help me with these bags."

Seeing Zhang Xinxin treating the LV bag like a treasure, gazing at it for a long time without getting tired, Li Jing directly shoved all the shopping bags back into her hands.

Upon hearing, Zhang Xinxin showed no signs of reluctance, happily agreed immediately: "Okay, give them all to me!"

Seeing Zhang Xinxin holding full shopping bags in both hands, Li Jing originally thought he might have gone too far and prepared to help carry a few. Nevertheless, Zhang Xinxin carried the shopping bags without showing any sign of fatigue, swiftly walked through Wanlong Mall, full of energy, wishing all passersby could see she bought so many luxury items.

From Zhang Xinxin's appearance, this was not a laborious task; these bags clearly became her stimulants, each additional luxury shopping bag could elevate her mood several degrees.

Even if there's only one bag that truly belongs to her, she was already sufficiently happy.

"Brother Jing, could... could you help me?"

At this moment, seeing Zhang Xinxin carrying a pile of bags nearly larger than her slim figure approach for assistance, Li Jing chuckled: "What? Finally can't carry them anymore, want me to help?"

"Can't carry them? How is that possible? I can carry twice as much again."

Zhang Xinxin widened her eyes, shook her head immediately rebutting. Then she displayed a flattering expression, giggling: "Brother Jing, could you help me take a photo at Wanlong Mall's entrance?"

"Photo?"

Upon hearing, Li Jing didn't give it much thought, directly took out his phone casually: "Okay, then put the bags aside."

"No, no, no, the focus is these shopping bags, the shopping bags are the highlight.

Let me put on the bag you gave me first."

...

Not long after, the two detoured for dinner before returning to the hotel.

After an afternoon of wandering, Li Jing felt pain in his feet and aching in his waist and immediately called for the suite's butler to arrange an in-room essential oil massage, one of the butler's services.

Li Jing has gradually adapted and gotten accustomed to enjoying the services available for high-end spending, even starting to savor the moments of having someone serve the lifestyle.

As the saying goes, transitioning from frugality to luxury is easy; from luxury to frugality is difficult.

Li Jing already feels changes in various aspects, maybe after some time, he might exude the aura that comes with being wealthy.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xinxin sat in a corner, starting to edit photos and occasionally chuckling happily.

Li Jing glanced at her, discovering that Zhang Xinxin was easier to please and satisfy than he expected.

This was because Li Jing thought from his perspective.

For Zhang Xinxin, this is her first time owning a branded bag worth over ten thousand, and she picked it herself at an authentic store.

This joy is probably the happiest thing Zhang Xinxin can think of right now.

If there's something happier, it would be Brother Jing buying her another bag.

Soon after, Zhang Xinxin's social media feed showed a new post, a simple caption with one picture.

"Wandered all afternoon, so tired."

Below the picture showed Zhang Xinxin holding a large pile of luxury shopping bags with both hands, standing in front of Wanlong City's main entrance, sporting a casual and laid-back demeanor.

This time, as soon as Zhang Xinxin posted on her social media feed, it instantly ignited a flurry of comments and likes.

Lanlan Baby: "Xinxin, you're so rich! You bought so many luxury items!!"

Pengpeng the Fairy (Slimming Edition): "Damn! Xinxin, where did you get all these luxury shopping bags, lend me some for photoshoot!"

Niuer: "I think I spotted something, Xinxin isn't the bag you are holding last year's popular LV model? I envy you."

Fool Who Loves Running Errands: "Xinxin, how can you carry so many items alone? Make sure to call me next time, I can help."

Pretty Wife (An Tong): "???? Zhang Xinxin, reply to my message!"

While enjoying the envy and praise from everyone, Zhang Xinxin raised an eyebrow, noticing An Tong had privately messaged her.

"Did you go to Wanlong City today with Li Jing??"

Seeing An Tong's questioning, Zhang Xinxin smirked with pride: "Yes, bought lots of items, Brother Jing even gifted me a bag."

After sending the message, she took a selfie with her LV bag, exhibiting it boastfully.

"Li Jing bought it for you?"

"Yes, if you keep hesitating, Brother Jing might end up with me."

In a rental room.

An Tong, dressed in cute pajamas, looked at the message Zhang Xinxin sent, both envious and jealous, grabbing the nearby teddy bear and continuously torturing and hitting it, with each parry accompanied by a curse:

"Scumbag, scumbag, scumbag!"

As she spoke, her peripheral vision caught sight of the Gucci outfit she cherished, directly wanting to toss it: "Don't want what you gave me..."

Halfway through, her hand holding the Gucci stopped mid-air, feeling heartache and reluctance, then cautiously put the clothes back but felt increasingly agitated:

"An Tong, you're so useless! Dare not pursue others, can't bear to discard things.

Useless, you're utterly useless!"

Almost flattening her teddy bear, An Tong saw the screen light up again.

She quickly picked it up and realized it was another message from Zhang Xinxin.

But this time, it wasn't a show-off but a reminder.

"Don't say I only keep men and leave out sisters; here's a critical piece of information, Brother Jing might leave Celestial Sea City tomorrow."

"What?!"

Seeing the message, An Tong sat up straight, realizing the likelihood that he might never return here.

She realizes if she doesn't act herself, she probably won't have the chance to see him anymore.

Thinking this through, An Tong interlaced her fingers into her silky black hair, collapsed onto the sofa, face riddled with conflict and distress:

"What should I do...

Who knew getting attracted to someone makes life so challenging?"

...

In the suite, lying on the massage bed and enjoying the butler's massage, Li Jing softly sneezed a couple of times, frowned with curiosity: "Am I catching a cold?"

"Mr. Li, you're in excellent health. Sneezing is probably because someone's thinking about you."

The butler poured the essential oil onto his hands, then evenly smeared it on Li's back, chuckled softly while massaging.

"Thinking of me? I reckon cursing me is more likely."

Li Jing casually replied, under the expert technique, felt utterly relaxed, unable to resist closing his eyes in enjoyment.

"Maybe it's someone alternately cursing and thinking of you."

Zhang Xinxin put away her phone, giggled, walked over, gestured slyly to the butler, and secretly took over the massage for Li Jing.

"Hm? How come the technique changed?"

Feeling the shift in exertion, Li Jing, unaware someone else took over behind him, questioned curiously with closed eyes.

Upon hearing, Zhang Xinxin immediately winked towards the butler for help in replying.

The butler, seeing this, reluctantly covered for Zhang Xinxin: "Uh... Mr. Li, I'm trying a new technique for you."

"Oh, whatever, as long as it's comfortable."

Li Jing didn't have many requirements for the massage, as long as it wasn't like those foot massage places where he had to scream like a pig being butchered.

Realizing her actions went unnoticed, Zhang Xinxin beamed with joy, waved for the butler to leave, then her hands started sliding and rubbing gently across Li Jing's back.

However, the more Zhang Xinxin continued, Li Jing felt increasingly suspicious, as though the skin against his back was smooth and seemingly seamless.

Just when Li Jing felt curious, preparing to turn around, a warm, fragrant breath gently blew by his ear, accompanied by a tender, alluring voice.

"Don't turn, stay still.

Brother Jing, since you gave me a gift today, I'll also give you a gift.

Close your eyes, enjoy it~"
