Shanghai's National Gold Center, Parking Garage!
"System!"
[Host: Su Chen]
[Junior God of Wealth: 609,800/1,000,000]
[Wealth: 2,006,528]
Su Chen glanced at his system. His wealth had already reached two million, so he immediately withdrew it.
Seeing the 2.06 million balance displayed on his phone, Su Chen finally opened the car door and stepped out.
"Brother! Hurry up! What's taking you so long in the car?" Su Qingya called out, her arm linked with Chen Mengyan's.
After interviewing the nanny, Su Chen's thoughts turned to his system upgrade. Since he had also promised to take Su Qingya shopping, he figured he might as well bring her to the National Gold Center.
There's a saying: "Raise boys poor, raise girls rich." Naturally, he had to spoil his own sister!
As for why Chen Mengyan was there, that was all thanks to Su Qingya.
When Su Qingya heard Su Chen was taking her shopping at the National Gold Center, she immediately roped Chen Mengyan into coming along for advice.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the two of them already chatting up a storm. Su Chen shook his head with a helpless smile. Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd been best friends for years.
'This girl has no sense of caution at all!' he grumbled inwardly, hearing Su Qingya recounting his embarrassing childhood stories.

"Hello, welcome to Louis Vuitton!"
Just as they stepped into the Louis Vuitton boutique, a sales associate at the entrance greeted them politely.
"Hello," Su Chen nodded slightly.
"Hello, sir. My name is Xiaohui, a sales associate here at Louis Vuitton. It's a pleasure to help you. Is there anything you're looking for?" a smiling young woman with a gentle voice approached them.
Su Chen glanced back at Su Qingya.
Su Qingya was like a kid in a candy store, looking around with wide-eyed curiosity.
"We're looking for some clothes for my sister. Also, any bags or perfumes that might suit her."
The sales associate, Xiaohui, glanced at the two beautiful women behind Su Chen—one fiery and stunning, the other innocent and cute.
With her years of experience in sales, Xiaohui could tell at a glance that the innocent and cute girl was this Brother Fu's sister.
"Miss, right this way, please. I'll show you to the women's apparel section."
Hearing this, Su Qingya gave Su Chen a questioning look.
"Go on," Su Chen encouraged her. "Go with the nice lady and take a look. If you find any clothes or bags you like, just buy them!"
"Hehe, thanks, brother!" With that, Su Qingya followed Xiaohui toward the women's apparel section.
Chen Mengyan stood beside Su Chen, looking a little lost.
Su Chen noticed her unease and patted her on the shoulder. "You go take a look, too."
"I... I'd better not, Young Master Su. Everything here is too expensive." But even as Chen Mengyan said this, her eyes betrayed a strong sense of yearning.
"Go on, pick something you like. I'll buy it for you!"
"Really? Thank you, Young Master Su!" Chen Mengyan exclaimed, excitedly throwing herself into Su Chen's arms.
The feeling of the soft, fragrant woman in his arms was quite pleasant for Su Chen, but he was still aware of where they were. He reached out his right hand, intending to pat her on the lower back.
To his surprise, his hand landed on something incredibly soft, and he could feel it ripple under his palm.
"Ah!" came a delicate gasp.
Blushing, Chen Mengyan pulled away from Su Chen's embrace.
"I'm going to find Qingya!" she said, before trotting away.
Fortunately, the Louis Vuitton boutique was nearly empty, otherwise Su Chen would have been completely embarrassed.
Su Chen lifted his right hand, staring at it as if still savoring the sensation from a moment ago.
'So soft... just like a ripe peach,' he mused. 'Truly made of water...'
After waiting for nearly half an hour, just as Su Chen was about to fall asleep, he heard Su Qingya's voice.
"Brother! Come see! Which of these two bags looks better on me?"
"Huh?" Su Chen looked at the two bags in Su Qingya's hands. Aside from the difference in size, they looked identical. His mind filled with question marks.
"Aren't... aren't they the same, just in different sizes?"
"They're totally different! This is the large pancake, and this is the small pancake," Su Qingya said with a completely serious expression.
Seeing Su Chen's troubled expression, Chen Mengyan covered her mouth and couldn't stop giggling.
"Um... Xiaohui, what would you recommend?" Su Chen, a firm believer in leaving professional matters to the professionals, immediately called the sales associate over.
"Sir, for your sister, I'd recommend the small pancake bag. It perfectly matches her sweet and innocent style. The large pancake bag, on the other hand, would be more suitable for the lady beside her." Xiaohui had unintentionally witnessed their little interaction earlier, which prompted her to add that last part.
She figured it was worth a shot—what if she made another sale?
Su Chen glanced at Chen Mengyan beside him. "Alright, wrap both of them up."
"Right away, sir!" The smile on Xiaohui's face grew even wider.
"Did you get your clothes?"
"All picked out! I got three outfits," Su Qingya said, her voice filled with excitement.
Su Chen turned his gaze to Chen Mengyan. Seeing her nod shyly, he turned back to Xiaohui and said, "Ring it all up."
Carrying the two bags, Xiaohui hurried over to the checkout counter.
About three minutes later, Xiaohui came briskly walking back with an itemized bill.
"Sir, your total comes to 688,000! Here is the itemized bill... please take a look."
Su Chen took the bill and glanced over it. Every single item was at least five figures, with the most expensive being the large pancake bag, valued at over 40,000.
"Go ahead and charge it." Su Chen took out his bank card and handed it to Xiaohui.
After leaving Louis Vuitton, Su Chen and the others were done shopping for the day.
Su Chen had originally wanted to buy a watch. After all, there was a saying: "The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches." He wanted to get a nice timepiece to accessorize with.
But then he remembered he only had a little over a million left. Even if he bought a watch, it would just be one of the more common models on the market.
He decided he might as well wait until his system upgraded before considering the matter.
Back at Seaview One, Su Qingya happily grabbed her new clothes and bags and ran off to her bedroom.
Su Chen looked at the two Louis Vuitton shopping bags in his hands and handed them to Chen Mengyan with a smile.
"Here, these are yours."
Blushing, Chen Mengyan took the shopping bags from Su Chen's hands.
"Young Master Su, thank you!"
"Thank me? How are you going to thank me? With just words?"
Su Chen reached out and pulled Chen Mengyan into his arms. Feeling the softness of her 'twin peaks' pressed against him, his hands naturally settled on her lower back.
"Ah..." Chen Mengyan let her head rest weakly against Su Chen's chest, her body suddenly feeling drained of all strength.
Hearing her delicate moan in his ear, he couldn't help but squeeze a little harder.
He kneaded her flesh back and forth, like working a piece of dough.
THUD! THUD! The sound of two objects hitting the floor snapped Su Chen back to his senses.
The two shopping bags had fallen to the floor.
Chen Mengyan kept her head down, not daring to look at Su Chen, but he could see that even her fair neck had turned a deep crimson.
He gave her pert backside a light pat. "You should head back for now."
Chen Mengyan nodded, picked up the two bags from the floor, glanced up at Su Chen, and whispered, "I'm the only one in my dorm room right now."
With that, she turned and quickly trotted away.
Su Chen watched her departing figure with a knowing smile on his face.
