Branded supercars could be seen everywhere in Qingshui City, which was consistently within the top ten cities of China.
Even though that was the case, Xue Meining’s limited-edition Ferrari still attracted everyone’s attention when it came to a halt at the shopping mall entrance.
It could not be helped, the car was just too cool! At the same time, Xue Meining’s charming little face and slender legs that were as fair as snow were truly eye-catching.
Ling Yun could not be bothered with the envious looks that came from the people surrounding them. As cool as it is, it’s nothing compared to my imperial sword flight!
Ling Yun imagined himself soaring through the sky with his imperial sword and the bird’s eye view of the mortal world from high above as he swaggered into the shopping mall by Xue Meining’s side, disregarding everyone’s gaze.
He had no other choice since everyone looked at them as if they were wondering why such a beauty would be wasted on a beast.
Most of the shops on the first floor of the shopping mall sold all sorts of jewelry and branded cell phones. It was apparent that Xue Meining was extremely familiar with this shopping mall. She turned around and grabbed Ling Yun’s arm with both of her hands before dragging him to their first destination.
“Brother Ling Yun, how could you not have a cell phone? People can’t contact you even if they wanted to, let’s go get you a new phone.”
The sentimental beauty had remembered the scene where Zhong Qingshan had asked Ling Yun for his contact details.
Of course, this was exactly what Ling Yun wanted. She certainly had the potential to learn.
He had had a total of 20,000 dollars but he had spent 9,000 of it yesterday and was only left with slightly more than half of what he had had. Needless to say, he was unwilling to buy himself a cell phone.
But even though he was unwilling to buy one, that did not mean he would reject it if someone else bought him one.
Because what he had truly discovered was how inconvenient it was to not have a cell phone in this technologically advanced world.
At the very least, would it not be convenient for his loved ones to contact him if they were in danger?
Ultimately, the uneasy feeling that he had had at the accident scene was as clear as day, which made Ling Yun ponder endlessly. Was the person after him, or his family?
“Brother Ling Yun, let’s get an iPhone 5. Then, we’ll be using the same cell phone! Hehe…”
Xue Meining dragged him all the way to the Apple counter and asked him while pointing at all the different colored phones beneath the glass cabinet, “Which color do you like?”
“Black.”
Xue Meining nodded and spoke directly to the salesgirl, “Can I have a black iPhone 5?”
The salesgirls rarely encountered such a straightforward customer and they provided excellent service. One of the salesgirls who had a ponytail asked, “Would you like to pay by cash or credit card?”
Xue Meining flashed a smile as she said, “Credit card please.”
“Please come with me…” Ponytail girl directed her to the credit card terminal for payment.
“Sir, would you like to try out your new cell phone?” Another salesgirl smiled as she asked.
Ling Yun shook his head and politely declined.
He had already figured out how to use the cell phone when the Little Gambling God, Tang Meng, had bought a cell phone for Ning Lingyu yesterday. Thus, he just instructed the salesgirl to wrap it up for him.
Within three minutes, Xue Meining had already settled the payment and returned to where they were. She looked at the brand-new phone that she had bought for Ling Yun as she chuckled, “Brother Ling Yun, I have a friend who has good phone numbers. I’ll ring him up later and ask him to save you a good one.”
“Do you want six 8s or six 9s at the end of your phone number?”
Ling Yun figured that this little beauty was thoughtful enough to give him a nice number after buying him a brand-new phone. He chuckled and said, “Oh, you shouldn’t have. I prefer a phone number with six 9s, but please get me another one with six 8s. It would be good if you could get me a few more phone numbers too. I have uses for them.”
Yesterday, when they were shopping for cell phones, Tang Meng had been grumbling about how his number only had four 8s and felt that it was not cool enough. Since Ling Yun knew that Xue Meining had such good connections, it would be a miracle if he did not try to take advantage of the situation.
Not to mention, Ning Lingyu’s number was just an ordinary number, so he wanted to give her a better one.
Ling Yun could not maintain his joy as he envisioned Tang Meng’s expression when he gave him the nice phone number.
Xue Meining’s lips twitched involuntarily. Brother Ling Yun really has the guts to take advantage of the situation. Does he think that these nice numbers are just groceries from the supermarket? As if we would be able to get them if I didn’t have these connections in Qingshui City!
Ling Yun noticed her expression and realized that she was having difficulties, thus, he tried to spur her on with his words. “It’s alright if you can’t get it, an ordinary number would work just fine.”
Sure enough, the Little Demon Girl took the bait and rolled her eyes at Ling Yun. “Who said I can’t get it? It’s just that I can only ask for four at most, any more than that would be shameless!”
Ling Yun was anticipating this answer and figured four phone numbers were enough. He quickly flashed a smile as he nodded at her and chuckled, “That’ll be enough, I don’t need that many nice phone numbers. It’s not as if I can have them for lunch.”
Their conversation left the salesgirls in a state of shock. A number that ends with six 8s? Six 9s? Yet he still requested for four phone numbers at one go!
Their relationship was unbelievable!
After they were done shopping for cell phones, Xue Meining dragged Ling Yun up the escalators all the way until they reached the fourth floor.
This floor mainly sold high-end clothing for men.
“Brother Ling Yun, what clothes are you planning to get? Sportswear? Casual? Or a suit?”
Xue Meining anxiously asked when they got to the fourth floor.
“Two sets of sportswear should suffice. I’ll still be losing weight for the next two months, so I probably won’t be able to wear anything else.”
It was not that Ling Yun did not want to shop for any other clothes, it was just because, ultimately, he was confident that he would drop 30kg to 35kg in the next two months. If he bought any clothes now, he would not be able to fit into them two months later.
“That can’t be! You can’t keep losing weight, right? Moreover, you still need a set of formal wear for whenever you had to meet people for serious business!”
Xue Meining did not give Ling Yun a chance to refuse before she dragged him through all the high-end clothing brands.
Quickly, they managed to buy two sets of Nike sportswear as well as two pairs of Nike running shoes. Before he could even stop to take a breather, Xue Meining lugged him towards another stall to shop for a dress shirt and a suit.
Ling Yun was speechless as he thought to himself, We just spent 20,000 dollars in the blink of an eye, this Little Demon Girl really knew how to throw money around!
He was right, Xue Meining had never been concerned about the amount of money she spent when it came to shopping.
It was easier to shop for sportswear than for suits. It couldn’t be helped since Ling Yun was so fat!
All the suits that he tried on were unsuitable, the Little Demon Girl was starting to get bummed out.
“Brother Ling Yun, you’re at least 1.8 meters in height, right? Why’d you eat so much and make yourself so fat? What a waste!”
Xue Meining furrowed her brows as she grumbled.
“That’s why I’m trying so hard to lose weight. Forget it, we’ll come back in two months. I guarantee you I’ll be at most 75kg by then!”
Ling Yun felt very helpless. Ultimately, it was not him who got himself this fat.
“What? You’ve got to be more than 100kg now, right? To lose 30kg in 2 months?! With the way that you were eating this afternoon? Bullshit!”
Xue Meining scoffed at the idea that Ling Yun would lose 30kg in 2 months!
A height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 75kg would be close to the perfect height to weight ratio, but she would never believe that he could lose 30kg in 2 months.
Ling Yun smiled faintly and did not defend himself.
Actions speak louder than words. Two months later, or maybe even in a month, he would give everyone the shock of their lives!
“But… but it’s going to be my birthday party in ten days, you have got to show up! Umm… My parents would be coming down from the Beijing. You…”
Xue Meining fidgeted with her fingers as she made some calculations.
Ling Yun smiled to himself. So that was what she was thinking about.
A sense of blissfulness washed over him. He patted Xue Meining’s little head as a bright and confident smile crept onto his face. He said to her gently, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely show up. Whatever I wear won’t matter, right?”
Xue Meining was stunned as she saw that bright, friendly smile of his that was able to melt through anyone’s heart once again.
She was in a daze as a strange feeling bubbled within her, her cheeks turned bright red.
“The weather’s getting hotter anyway, a suit won’t be of any use. Let’s get a shirt instead.”
Ling Yun suggested as he was fascinated by how Xue Meining was when she was shy.
One could say, in the few hours that they had known each other, they had fought with each other as well as shared tears and laughter, but this did not get in the way of Xue Meining slowly garnering Ling Yun’s recognition.
This Little Demon Girl was passionate, brave, filial and kind.
As for her temperament and playfulness, it was all just her teenage girl sentiments, Ling Yun obviously would not mind.
Xue Meining paid for all of the expenses with her credit card as they shopped through the entire shopping mall. Inevitably, the salespeople who worked there all looked at him oddly, but Ling Yun could not be bothered at all.
Apart from saving Miracle Doctor Xue’s life, Ling Yun knew that whatever he was going to give to Xue Meining in the future would be worth so much more!
This was Ling Yun. When someone sincerely gave him a drop of water, he would repay them an entire ocean!
“Alright, we won’t buy the suit then. Let’s go get you some clothes. You have got to eat less and lose weight quickly. You’re just too fat!”
Something popped up in the Little Demon Girl’s mind before she replied him shyly with her cheeks as red as a tomato, which was a rare sight.
Xue Meining bought Ling Yun two Versace shirts, two pairs of slacks from K-Boxing and a pair of Levi’s denim jeans.
At this point, Ling Yun’s hands were filled with shopping bags and he was unable to carry any more.
“Little Ning, are we done? I can’t carry any more bags!”
As much as Ling Yun liked taking advantage, even he felt a little embarrassed. Xue Meining was truly domineering while she shopped, buying anything she desired with zero concerns about the price.
Ling Yun secretly calculated that both of them had spent 40000 dollars in less than half an hour!
Xue Meining finally stopped in her tracks and looked at Ling Yun whose hands were filled with shopping bags as she flashed a satisfied smile. “Hmm, I think that’s enough. Let’s go put these things in the car, then come back and shop for my stuff!”
Ling Yun took a step back as he heard that, “We’re still shopping?!”
Xue Meining pouted her cherry lips as she whined, “Of course. You thought we’d just shop for your stuff and not mine?”
Ling Yun looked at Xue Meining’s gleaming eyes and finally understood what a terrifying thing it was to accompany girls while they shopped!
However, fortunately, he himself had a huge shopping haul!
