Chapter 24
Zhao Yuxin quickly paid the bill, while Chen Jiahao pretended not to notice. After leaving the styling salon, he became eager to continue.
The mall was full of luxury stores, and he wanted to take advantage of the shopping trip to spend more money on Zhao Yuxin.
"Ding... Zhao Yuxin's affection -20"
From the initial negative number to now, Chen Jiahao couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
"Ding... Zhao Yuxin's affection 90."
From the moment she discovered he was her top fan and confirmed this surprising fact, her affection jumped to 50... rising 70 points from negative territory in one go.
From recharging her card, ordering food, ordering that bottle of Louis XIII, all the way until they left, her affection skyrocketed to 90.
Money truly is all-powerful. With this kind of spending, even the campus beauty could be won over. The charm of being a sugar daddy was indeed limitless.
Zhao Yuxin's eyes were sparkling. As soon as they walked out, she grabbed Chen Jiahao's arm, her full bosom pressing tightly against him through her clothes, allowing him to enjoy that full elasticity.
"Brother Hao, let's go take a look inside!"
They arrived at a branded men's sportswear store. Looking at Chen Jiahao's casual clothes, Zhao Yuxin cleverly figured out his style.
Even the cheapest short-sleeve shirt and shorts had price tags of several hundred yuan each, which seemed a bit extravagant to Chen Jiahao.
"Let's not, my clothes are still wearable."
Chen Jiahao felt a bit nervous. After all, he couldn't afford to buy clothes for himself; he only had that small amount of living expenses left.
Chen Jiahao quickly said, "Let's go look at women's clothing instead. I'll buy you a few more handbags."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuxin became even more determined.
She had to win over this wealthy young master. Judging by his experience as a simp and his reactions, he was probably a vergin who had never dated before.
His usual low-key disguise was definitely due to his family's influence, to prevent him from getting involved with all sorts of gold diggers.
Normally, if someone offered to buy her several handbags, Zhao Yuxin would be overjoyed, immediately assessing how much money that person could spend on her.
But now that wouldn't do. She couldn't let Chen Jiahao think she was a greedy gold-digger. Once that impression formed, everything would be ruined.
She also had to put in effort and let him feel her tenderness and affection, so she could win him over step by step.
After all, he had been simping for Tian Tian for three years, so that deep emotional foundation was still there. Zhao Yuxin was determined not to give Tian Tian any chance for a comeback as the idealized love interest.
"No, you've been so good to me, I want to do something for you too. Let me buy you some clothes as a gift."
When this gorgeous beauty pouted slightly, Chen Jiahao's resistance melted away.
Hearing that he wouldn't have to spend his pitiful living expenses, Chen Jiahao weakly allowed himself to be dragged into the store.
With her art major background, Zhao Yuxin was completely in her element in the clothing store. She quickly put together several outfits for Chen Jiahao.
His ten-yuan flip-flops were replaced with trendy six-hundred-yuan sandals. In total, they spent over ten thousand yuan.
Walking out of the store, Chen Jiahao said emotionally, "Thank you. This is the first time I've received such a precious gift."
It was unbelievable that this wealthy young master, who must have seen all kinds of nice things, was now so touched.
Zhao Yuxin's heart was also sweet with happiness, though she thought ten thousand yuan was too cheap and regretted not going to a more expensive store.
She interpreted his words differently. These clothes were precious because they were from her, Zhao Yuxin. It was practically a sincere declaration of love.
"Brother Hao, let's not say 'thank you' between us, okay? It feels so distant."
Zhao Yuxin said coquettishly, "When you dress more handsomely, I'll also feel proud when we date. Besides, compared to how good you've been to me, this is nothing."
Talk about running into enemies, after walking just a few steps, they encountered Tian Tian and her group again.
They had just walked out of the Apple store, holding the newest iPhone 16, with smiles on their previously dejected faces.
Zhao Kai was visibly pained because he had been partying and spending money lately and had already used up his living expenses. He was using his credit card.
"Sweet Tian, let's go to the beach for some romance later, to Xiaohai Mountain," Zhao Kai said eagerly.
The place he mentioned was in the suburbs of the provincial capital. Even taking the highway, the round trip would take more than an hour, and by then the school gates would be closed.
His intentions were obvious, and with just the two of them alone, Zhao Kai wouldn't possibly behave himself.
Tian Tian immediately felt disgusted. So getting an iPhone 16 for her birthday came with the condition of letting him take advantage of her.
Even if she didn't go with him, that simp Chen Jiahao would give her one unconditionally.
With this comparison, Tian Tian suddenly felt she might have been a bit stupid.
Plus, she had secretly noticed earlier that Zhao Kai was using a credit card, not a debit card, which meant that apart from that BMW, he was actually all show and no substance.
Zhao Kai had underestimated the observational skills of these green tea bitches (girl pretending to be pure and innocent, but are manipulative and calculating.). He thought that after giving her the phone, the night would naturally proceed according to his plan, and he would conquer this Chinese department beauty.
But now, they had run into each other.
Zhao Yuxin spoke first, saying, "Well, what a coincidence."
Glancing at the phone in Tian Tian's hand, Zhao Yuxin said sarcastically:
"Zhao Kai is so generous, giving the same phone as my Brother Hao gave me. Just one phone to dismiss our sweet Tian's birthday gift."
Tian Tian, who was already unhappy, and hearing this made her face even uglier.
Zhao Kai silently cursed this troublemaking bitch in his heart, then forced himself to say, "It's none of your business. We're not related anymore."
"It's nothing, I just feel sorry for sweet Tian. Rejecting such a good man, only to find someone as stingy as you."
Zhao Yuxin continued to provoke, "Sweet Tian, a man may have money, but if he doesn't spend it on you, it has nothing to do with you."
Before Tian Tian could react, Zhao Yuxin kissed Chen Jiahao's cheek and said coquettishly, "Honey, I saw a new handbag. Let's go see if it's in stock."
"Sure, if you like it, let's buy it."
With such a beauty in his arms, Chen Jiahao's feelings for Tian Tian began to weaken.
The two of them swaggered into the nearby LV store. Zhao Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Those dogs. Sweet Tian, don't mind them, let's go."
He tried to hold Tian Tian's hand again, but she dodged once more and said softly, "Brother Kai, I want to look at handbags too."
Hearing this, Zhao Kai's scalp tingled. Seeing Tian Tian's determined attitude, he could only say earnestly, "Next time, okay? Next time I'll get you the newest model."
Tian Tian turned back, looking at him coldly, "Chen Jiahao is willing to buy it for her. In your heart, am I not as good as Zhao Yuxin?"
Zhao Kai continued to force himself to say, "Don't be fooled. You know that poor guy Chen Jiahao. He can't even afford a strap at LV, let alone a bag."
"What happened just now must be fake. I'll definitely ask my dad to investigate and expose their true colors."
"Hmph, if he buys it for Zhao Yuxin, then you buy it for me!" Tian Tian demanded aggressively.
Zhao Kai didn't want to lose face either, so he forced himself to say, "Fine. If that poor guy can really buy it for Zhao Yuxin, I'll buy it for you too."
Even now, they still refused to believe the fact that the meal had cost 400,000 yuan.
