Yang Hao chuckled; his little brother Qin Feng, with merely three segments of ‘forceful aura’, was surprisingly good at comforting people.
However, he believed that at this moment, Qin Feng’s words came from the heart.
After finishing the meal, little brother Qin Feng took the initiative to pay the bill.
“Yang, this meal doesn’t count as my treat, so I’ll have to treat you next time,” Qin Feng said.
Qin Feng’s offer to pay the bill gave Zhao Yingying yet another reason to ask Yang Hao out again.
“Hmm, let’s get together again when there’s a chance,” Yang Hao replied noncommittally, his head nodding in a perfunctory manner. Phrases like “when there’s a chance” or “when there’s time” always fell into the category of empty promises.
It was only during their conversation that Qin Feng realized the meal was originally supposed to be Zhao Yingying’s treat—he surmised that this deliveryman must have helped Zhao Yingying with something.
“Yang, it’s just past three, let’s go for a stroll, it won’t interfere with you picking up your child,” Zhao Yingying suggested, glancing at her wristwatch.
“Sure, that sounds good,” he responded.
“I was actually thinking of buying a few outfits for my daughter, you and Xinyi could help me choose.”
Kindergarten ended at 4:30 PM, and it was only a fifteen-minute drive from Starlight City, so there was plenty of time.
“Sure, I love little girls. Sometimes, I think how great it would be to have a daughter!” Yingying said, seizing the moment to express her thoughts.
Yang Hao laughed without saying anything; this woman’s calculations were practically slapping him in the face.
Having had previous experiences with women like Li Manshu, he had become wary of them. However, he wouldn’t mind regarding them as NPCs—if he could use them as a tool to farm for rewards.
After all, Zhao Yingying was quite attractive, with a decent figure. Although she was mercenary, she was at least open and honest about it.
A woman wanting to be with a man always has her reasons—either for money or for looks. Yang Hao, a 35-year-old man, didn’t believe he had much in the way of looks to offer, so it was understandable if someone was after his money.
Through conversations between Yang Hao and Zhao Yingying, Qin Feng, the younger brother, learned another crucial piece of information: not only was this deliveryman old, poor, unemployed, and divorced, but he also had a daughter!
He managed to max out all the negative buffs!
Qin Feng suddenly found himself somewhat ridiculous for initially thinking the man was a suitor of Sun Xinyi’s when he bumped into him at Haidilao.
If this deliveryman owned even a single mirror, he wouldn’t have such thoughts!
After completely ruling out the possibility of the deliveryman being a competitor, Qin Feng’s mood improved greatly, and he made a concerted effort to keep the atmosphere lively throughout the shopping trip.
However, after visiting two children’s clothing stores, he was left somewhat speechless.
Yang Hao, who had promised to buy clothes for his daughter, hadn’t spent a penny. In contrast, Zhao Yingying and Sun Xinyi had each bought two outfits for the deliveryman’s daughter.
Looking at Yang Hao, Qin Feng couldn’t help but criticize in his mind: You might be poor, but isn’t it a bit embarrassing to let these beautiful women pay for you?
In fact, Yang Hao was somewhat helpless. He never intended to let the two women pay, but they secretly took care of the bill.
Yingying claimed it was a gesture of apology, while Xinyi said it was a way to express her gratitude.
Ding!
A random task triggered: [The Wealthy’s Recompense]
Sow a grain in spring, reap ten thousand in autumn.
Let those who invested in you willingly experience the joy of harvest!
Task content:
Return Sun Xinyi, Zhao Yingying’s consumption amount a hundredfold.
Task reward:
Study Card*1
5x Expense Cashback Card*1
Just as Yang Hao thought of buying a few outfits for the two women as a reciprocal gesture in the future, the system notification sound suddenly rang out.
Yang Hao had grown accustomed to the occasional system notification, but his eyes still lit up when he heard the rewards.
The 5x Expense Cashback Card needs no explanation—it was a money-making tool, and he had previously obtained a 10x one.
And the “Study Card” had appeared in Wang Xueru’s quest before, but it seemed that he had no chance to complete it.
This time, however, he did have a chance!
The task involved a hundredfold reward for the amount spent, and Yang Hao silently calculated in his heart: Sun Xinyi had spent a total of 536 yuan, and Zhao Yingying had spent 552 yuan.
A hundredfold would be 53,600 yuan for one, and 55,200 yuan for the other.
Added together, that’s less than 110,000 yuan, and he still has more than 200,000 in his bank account, so it was enough.
The main thrill was that after this spending spree, the money would be returned fivefold; that was the real kicker.
“Xinyi, Yingying, we’ve bought enough kids’ clothes, let’s go check out LV!”
Qin Feng decided to show off his financial power in front of the goddess of his dreams by spending over ten thousand to add some show-off items for himself. That’s right; he was planning to spend on himself.
He often watched certain videos, and one of the classic quotes from them was, “Money is for showing to women, not for spending on them.”
Qin thought this made perfect sense; treating women to meals and such was trivial, but he preferred splurging the big bucks on himself.
As the saying goes, if you blossom, butterflies will come naturally.
Splashing cash on himself was how to attract the most beautiful butterflies.
Of course, if Sun Xinyi truly fancied an item that wasn’t too expensive, he’d consider giving it to her.
But the catch was he’d need to get something in return, at the very least hold hands. If he could steal a kiss, that would be even more perfect.
As for taking her directly to a hotel, he didn’t dare to dream of it; after all, he had known Xinyi for more than a day or two, and she wasn’t the type to be easily corrupted by material things.
“Qin, you really struck it rich, daring to browse LV!” Zhao Yingying teased with a laugh.
“Isn’t making money all about spending it!”
Oozing with confidence, Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders and added, “Besides, it’s not like I’m buying LV every day. An occasional splurge is bearable.”
With that, Qin Feng turned to Yang Hao, “Yang, once we’re at LV, you can’t let the ladies pay again.”
“Of course.”
Yang Hao nodded, but inside he was secretly saying, “Sorry, little bro, I really didn’t plan on showing off today, but the system gave too much!”
If he spent 110,000, a fivefold cashback would be 550,000.
A net profit of over 400,000—that was too tempting to refuse!
So, the four of them headed straight for LV.
As they passed by Prada, Sun Xinyi casually glanced at the display window and then at the similar handbag she was carrying, feeling a peculiar sense of satisfaction.
It was like finally landing the crush you had been daydreaming about for ages.
Zhao Yingying also glanced involuntarily at the display window, then at the handbag her friend was carrying, full of envy.
She glanced at Yang Hao out of the corner of her eye, determined to land this wealthy dude and be the stepmother of a rich family’s princess—infinitely better than being a poor geek’s old lady.
The LV store in Starlight City was quite sizable at nearly three hundred square meters, located in the most central spot on the first floor. As you enter Starlight City through the main entrance of the mall, you can see the store’s logo, making this LV the flagship of Starlight City.
Unavoidably, the luxury brand big brother Hermès had declined Starlight City’s invitation, so the well-known LV became the head of the luxury brands that settled in Starlight City.
As the store was spacious enough and had a wide range of products, Qin entirely embraced the guide given by that youngster’s videos. Upon entering the store, he started looking at men’s wear, behaving as if he was there purely for his own satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Sun Xinyi and Zhao Yingying were not interested in browsing men’s clothing, so they checked out the bags first and then moved on to the jewelry section.
LV’s jewelry isn’t their main product; brands like Cartier and Bulgari are generally more favored by women.
But LV had put considerable effort into jewelry over the last two years, as the profits were substantial.
“Hey, this bracelet looks pretty.”
Zhao Yingying paused in front of the jewelry counter, her gaze landing on a delicate bracelet. The LV logo was cleverly embedded in it, which would look great and showy when worn.

Following her friend’s gaze, Sun Xinyi was also captivated by the bracelet.
After all, what girl doesn’t like such ornaments?
But seeing the price below, her eyebrows instinctively frowned.
An 18k gold bracelet, priced at 56,500!
It was like a daylight robbery!
If it weren’t for the LV logo, it’d barely cost a few hundred!
These luxury brands, they’re really not ripping off the poor!!
