A super-rich tycoon? No, just call me the gentlemanly gigolo.

Jiang Ye watched as the teller skillfully issued invoices and packed the goods, while Ye Cheng took out her phone and showed her payment code.

With a "beep," 46,000 was easily swiped away.

Almost simultaneously, the system notification arrived as scheduled:

[Received a gift from Ye Cheng: a Kurvo Historian series watch, system-assessed value: 46000 yuan. Triggered 1000% cashback, received 460000 yuan!]

Jiang Ye was in high spirits as he watched the balance in his system account suddenly surge.

My assets have successfully surpassed 50! Awesome!

Huh...?

So, is 50 enough to unlock half of Ye Cheng?

I wonder if it would be possible to discuss with her unlocking the half-body part first...

He glanced at Ye Cheng's empty wrist and casually asked, "Little Ye, aren't you going to buy one for yourself?"

Ye Cheng looked down at her slender wrist: "I won't use it, it's a waste of money. I'll just wear a nice bracelet later."

Jiang Ye noticed that she was still holding the iPhone 14 in her hand, and couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"You haven't changed your phone either? You may not be considered a rich woman now, but you should be able to buy yourself some things you like, right? Didn't I give you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Cheng waved her hand to interrupt him: "Well, you have given me a lot of pocket money, but I have to save some."

She paused, her gaze falling on the glittering watches beneath the glass counter, and chuckled softly:

"In case... after a few months, you find that you can't make a million a month, or you find a new goal and don't want to continue, then at least I can still have some savings to finish university safely."

Ye Cheng turned her head and looked at Jiang Ye, her eyes flashing with a complex light:

"Conversely, if you really do that, if you really give me that much every month... then I'll have to save even more money. Otherwise, in a few years, when I'm older and your interest in me fades, I need to have some means to make a living, right?"

Jiang Ye looked into the girl's bright eyes and her complex smile, and listened to her rational, even overly sober, words. A soft spot in his heart was gently touched.

This woman, who usually seems carefree, sharp-tongued, and money-loving, actually harbors such a secret...

Eh?

Wait!

Autumn beans, sack of beans!

This emotional state lasted for less than three seconds before Jiang Ye suddenly snapped back to reality.

His extensive experience in "struggles" told him that he absolutely could not use the tender and affectionate approach with Ye Cheng!

This woman's greatest talent is that just when you think she's kind of cute or pitiful, she suddenly blurts out a witty remark that hits right in the gut!

really!

Before Jiang Ye could finish his thought, Ye Cheng's next sentence came.

"So, I have to plan ahead~ If you really don't want me anymore, maybe I can use the money I've saved to keep a pure and innocent male college student, tip a handsome streamer, or find a married man to play with, and experience the happy life of being an 'emperor'~"

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes so hard they almost flew to the sky, and the subtle emotions that had just arisen in his heart vanished instantly.

I knew it!

This woman is a complete ruiner of the innocent atmosphere! You can't have any romantic or profound expectations of her!

"Stop dreaming!"

Jiang Ye snorted irritably, "I'm extremely satisfied with you. You'll just stay by my side for the rest of your life and wait to be kept by me until you're old!"

He paused, then added, "And don't underestimate my lust! Don't worry about my 'sexual interest,' it'll always be overflowing! I've been celibate for over 20 years, I'll at least 'torture' you for at least 40 years before..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ye's expression suddenly froze, and he instantly thought, "Holy crap!"

Rely on!

Damn it! I misspoke!

Why did you reveal all your secrets?!

Sure enough, the next second, Ye Cheng's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils dilated, and she stared at him in extreme shock.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she burst out laughing, laughing harder and harder until she bent over, tears streaming down her face.

She leaned close to Jiang Ye's ear, suppressing her laughter and lowering her voice:

"Oh? More than 20 years?! I never thought that our Jiang Ye, who's so cunning and has dated countless women... is still a virgin?!"

Jiang Ye's face instantly darkened.

He tried to salvage the situation, stubbornly insisting, "I'm talking about the heavens! More than twenty days! What kind of ears do you have? I'm saying I haven't eaten meat for more than twenty days!"

Ye Cheng laughed as she wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand, then continued to breathe into his ear:

"Mmm, yes, yes, I get it, I get it, I get it~ Oh my, I never expected it, our Ye-ge is actually a... little... virgin~!"

Jiang Ye: "..."

Damn it! They even added the word "small"!

What a disgrace! An utter disgrace!

He gritted his teeth and snorted, decisively deciding to hurt each other and get revenge:

"Hmph! You, with only an A-cup, dare to be so arrogant? Stay away from me, don't get so close, your flat-chested smell is bothering me!"

Unfortunately, one is an indisputable fact, while the other is pure slander; their destructive power is on completely different levels.

Ye Cheng still smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling, clearly in a great mood.

The sales clerk packing up watches nearby watched the young couple whispering and flirting in public, and couldn't help but smile with envy.

Being young is wonderful!

They seem to have a good relationship and can afford such an expensive watch. Pure love plus a certain economic foundation, is there anything more enviable?

He put the packaged watch box, free gifts, and warranty card into a shopping bag and handed it to him with a smile:

"Sir/Madam, your watch has been wrapped up. Here is your receipt and the complimentary gift."

Ye Cheng smiled and thanked him, pushing the shopping bag into Jiang Ye's arms. She was about to tease him a bit more when she saw him give a heavy snort and point to a row of women's watches on the counter:

"Stop laughing! Tell me, which one do you like? Pick one! I'll give it to you!"

Ye Cheng's smile faltered for a moment, then her eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy crap! Really? Me... me, the battle-hardened Wild Guy?"

Jiang Ye's face darkened: "...Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and choose! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Ye Cheng immediately hummed in delight, her voice becoming eight degrees sweeter, and quickly turned around and leaned back in front of the counter: "Could you please take out these few items so I can take a look?"

The teller was naturally happy to see this happen and enthusiastically took out all those items at once.

After browsing for a while, Ye Cheng glanced back at Jiang Ye, who still had a black line on his face and a "I'm very unhappy" expression, and couldn't help but smile.

She turned and moved closer to Jiang Ye, pressing her lips directly to his ear and whispering quickly:

"Oh, actually... there's nothing to be shy about. Let me tell you a secret... I'm still a virgin."

After saying this, Ye Cheng blushed, tugged at his sleeve, and pulled him to the counter to hide her embarrassment.

"Hey, don't just stand there! Help me see which one you think looks better!"

Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat at this sudden "secret".

Looking at the girl's slightly flushed profile and sparkling eyes beside him, an indescribable, subtle sense of pleasure quietly arose within him.

He coughed lightly, then calmly turned his gaze back to the counter.

After comparing and trying on various items, Jiang Ye, whose mood inexplicably improved, generously chose a Cartier Ballon Bleu collection piece.

The elegant and distinctive cabochon crown and guilloché dial are exquisite, and the price is 56000.

Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow at the price. As the teller issued the invoice, she couldn't help but lean closer to Jiang Ye and whispered a question:

"Giving me such an expensive watch... and you're suddenly so happy? Is it because... you have some kind of special complex? You little pervert?"

"Eh, I really am..."

In an instant, Jiang Ye's mood, which had just improved, was halved again!

This woman always manages to pinpoint exactly what's annoying!

However, the remaining half of his good mood still supported him to take Ye Cheng straight to the Apple Store next door after buying the watch and exchange it for the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max.

but!

As "punishment" for her continued sharp tongue, Jiang Ye did not choose the top-of-the-line 1TB or 2TB version, but only bought the 256GB version.

When Ye Cheng looked at the configuration list and tried to negotiate, "Can I pay the difference myself and upgrade to 512GB or 1TB? 256GB really isn't enough," Jiang Ye decisively and cruelly rejected her "reasonable" request:

"No way! If it's not enough, clean it up regularly! And you're not allowed to upgrade it yourself. If I find out, I'll cut off your allowance!"

Seeing Ye Cheng's speechless and instantly crumbling face, Jiang Ye's smile finally returned completely, becoming incredibly radiant.

A smile doesn't appear or disappear out of thin air; it simply transfers from one person's face to another's.

The law of conservation of smiles is absolutely true.
