He transmigrated into the body of the school heartthrob's spoiled ex-girlfriend, and he insiste

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year is growing stronger.

The largest membership-based warehouse supermarket in City A.

A huge red lantern hung at the entrance, and the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing you prosperity) played on a loop from the speakers.

Crowds of people.

Everywhere you look, there are people pushing shopping carts, with their whole families out shopping for New Year's goods.

Wen Ning stood at the entrance, holding a newly issued membership card in her hand.

This was specially arranged by her for today's "squandering mission".

[Host, please remember your mission.]

The system's voice sounded particularly cold amidst the noisy background.

You're the pampered young lady who went to his house for an "inspection."

[Buy only the expensive stuff, not the right stuff! Always buy those flashy, overpriced gift sets!]

Make sure the male lead thinks you're a spendthrift who doesn't know how to manage money and only knows how to squander it, thus creating immense financial pressure for him!

Wen Ning glanced at Jiang Ci beside her.

He was wearing a light gray cashmere coat today, with a white turtleneck sweater underneath.

With his upright posture, he stood out from the crowd, pushing a huge shopping cart.

Many girls passing by were secretly watching him.

"Let's go."

Jiang Ci looked down at her, his eyes gentle.

What do you want to buy?

Wen Ning took a deep breath.

I'm sorry, Jiang Ci.

For your future, I have to make sure you get a good meal today.

"I want to buy so many things!"

Wen Ning raised his chin, deliberately putting on an arrogant air.

"It's my first time visiting your house, so I can't go empty-handed. I want to buy the best gift, and also my favorite snacks!"

Jiang Ci smiled.

He wasn't intimidated by her imposing manner.

"Okay. I'll do as you say."

The two followed the flow of people into the store.

The shelves were very tall and piled high with a wide variety of goods.

Wen Ning walked in front, like a supervisor who only knew how to give orders.

Jiang Ci pushed the cart and followed behind.

"This! I want to eat this!"

Wen Ning pointed to an imported chocolate biscuit on the shelf.

A box costs over 100 yuan.

Expensive beyond belief.

She took a box and threw it into the car.

Then he secretly turned around to see Jiang Ci's reaction.

Go ahead and criticize me, criticize me for wasting money.

however.

Jiang Ci did not find it offensive.

He glanced at the box of cookies, then reached out and grabbed another box from the shelf.

Throw it into the car.

One box isn't enough.

He spoke as if it were perfectly natural.

"Courier services will be suspended during the Chinese New Year, so stock up on some. You can eat them if you're bored at home."

Wen Ning: "..."

No, bro, this is over a hundred yuan a box, not ten yuan!

Next.

The art style has completely gone astray.

Wen Ning: "I want to eat this dried strawberry!" (The most expensive kind).

Jiang Ci: "Take two bags. This brand has no additives."

Wen Ning: "That nut gift box looks nice." (It's all packaging, not much stuff inside).

Jiang Ci: "Sure. Grandpa likes peeling walnuts."

We've come all this way.

Originally intending to showcase his extravagant spending habits, Wen Ning was instead led by Jiang Ci to resemble an "old married couple shopping at the supermarket."

Passing by the fresh produce section.

The smell was a bit fishy, ​​but it had a very homey feel to it.

Jiang Ci parked the car on the side of the road.

He walked to the freezer and pointed to a grouper inside.

"Would you like your New Year's Eve dinner steamed or braised?"

He turned his head and asked Wen Ning, his tone as natural as if he were asking, "Which home are you going to tonight?"

Wen Ning was taken aback.

She looked at Jiang Ci's profile as he focused on selecting fresh fish.

The surrounding area was filled with the sounds of elderly men and women haggling over prices, as well as the cries of children.

This extremely mundane and noisy atmosphere of everyday life gave her a sense of peace she had never felt before.

It was as if they had been living like this for many years.

During the Chinese New Year, we buy groceries and cook at home.

Ordinary, yet precious.

"Let's steam it."

Wen Ning said in a low voice.

"The braised dish was too oily."

"it is good."

Jiang Ci had someone weigh the largest one.

"Shall we buy some more shrimp? Let's make braised shrimp in oil?"

"Um."

My shopping cart is getting fuller and fuller.

It was full of snacks that Wen Ning loved to eat, as well as expensive imported fruits and seafood.

It was piled up like a small mountain.

We were almost at the checkout counter.

Wen Ning glanced at the shopping cart.

No.

These are expensive, but they're all food, so they're not "extravagant".

We need to do something drastic.

Her gaze shifted and landed on the health supplement counter next door.

There were all sorts of beautifully packaged, high-end health supplements with astonishingly high prices.

Wen Ning's eyes lit up.

She walked over quickly.

Pointing to the center of the counter, there was a top-grade bird's nest gift box in a red velvet box that looked like a rip-off.

"Jiang Ci!"

She called out.

"I want to buy this as a gift for my aunt!"

Jiang Ci pushed the cart over.

I glanced at the price tag.

8888 yuan.

There were only six small bottles.

It's a typical example of something that's "only good for gifting, ridiculously expensive and useless."

"This is too expensive."

Wen Ning deliberately spoke loudly, as if afraid that the people around her wouldn't hear her.

"But I think only this one matches Auntie's style! The others are all too tacky!"

"You'll buy it for me, right?"

She blinked, trying to sting Jiang Ci's "poor and sensitive" heart with this "not caring about money" attitude.

Passersby cast strange glances at them.

He was probably thinking: This girl is really insensible. Her boyfriend looks like a student. How could he afford something so expensive?

Wen Ning counted silently in his mind.

Three, two, one.

Reject me now.

Tell them it's too expensive and they can't afford it.

however.

Jiang Ci only glanced at the gift box.

Then, nodded.

"Good taste."

He commented.

"Mom does like eating bird's nest. Although this brand's purity is average, it's enough for emergencies."

Done.

He reached out and took not only the box of bird's nest.

I also grabbed a box of wild ginseng (priced at 6666) and a box of deer antler (priced at 5888) from the side.

"Grandpa has been coughing these past few days, so we're giving him ginseng to help him recover his energy."

"Dad has a bad back, so I'll soak deer antler in alcohol."

He tossed the three gift boxes, which cost a total of over 20,000 yuan, into his shopping cart like he was throwing away cabbages.

He didn't even blink.

Wen Ning: "???"

She was completely stunned.

This script is wrong!

That's over 20,000 yuan!

Even if he received the prize money, he shouldn't have squandered it like this!

This is his living expenses for several months, and it might even be the company's working capital!

"Jiang, Jiang Ci..."

Wen Ning grabbed his sleeve, her voice trembling.

"Isn't that... too much?"

"How about... we put two back? The thought is what counts..."

She wanted to squander the family fortune, not bankrupt him!

Jiang Ci stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Wen Ning, who was clearly distressed about the money but was trying to pretend to be generous.

Can't help but laugh.

He reached out and pinched her chubby cheeks.

"What's wrong?"

"Weren't you just saying you wanted to buy the best? Now you're worried about spending money?"

Wen Ning bit her lip.

"I'm afraid of you..."

I'm afraid you'll put on a show just to save face.

"rest assured."

Jiang Ci grasped her hand in return and led her to the cashier.

His tone was relaxed, yet it exuded an undeniable confidence.

"My boyfriend can afford this amount of money."

"You don't need to pay. And you don't need to save money for me."

"You can empty this supermarket if you want."

At the cashier.

The barcode scanner beeped.

The final number appeared: 28,650.00 yuan.

Wen Ning looked at that number and felt her heart bleeding.

It’s over.

Jiang Ci must have emptied his pockets.

He's definitely putting on a brave face.

Waaah, she's such a sinner.

Jiang Ci took out his card, swiped it, and signed.

The movements were fluid and graceful.

He didn't even frown.

I left the supermarket.

Jiang Ci carried two large, heavy bags of New Year's goods in one hand and held Wen Ning's hand in the other.

Snowflakes began to fall outside.

"Let's go."

He put Wen Ning's hand into his coat pocket.

"go home."

Wen Ning followed beside him, watching his tall and straight profile.

I have mixed feelings in my heart.

I felt both moved and deeply worried.

system.

Wen Ning thought to himself.

I think the mission... failed again.

He didn't think I was wasteful; on the contrary, he thought I was particularly good at picking gifts.

And... he seems to really love me. He's willing to spend so much money so that my family won't look down on me.

system:【……】

System: [Host, is it possible that he is actually very wealthy?]

Wen Ning: Impossible! He must be faking it! Waaaaah, I feel even more sorry for him!
