88: Now it's your turn to treat!
The two of them rode the Electric Scooter slowly to the parking lot at the entrance of the Pan Dongdong supermarket.
After Chen Kai parked the vehicle in the parking lot, he walked into the mall side by side with her.
He hadn't even used his balance of two or three hundred thousand yet. Since the items at Pan Dongdong were guaranteed to be of good quality, he felt at ease buying things for his parents there.
As for those fence-sitting relatives, if he didn't buy them gifts, he'd inevitably be talked about, so he'd just let them take two bottles of cola each back home to drink.
He felt that even buying two bottles was too much.
Driving back in a luxury car, even if he only gave them two bottles of cola each, they would probably drink until they got diabetes and still praise the cola for being strong. It was good stuff.
He pushed a cart at the mall entrance, resting both hands on the handle, while Tang Yunshu kept holding onto the corner of his shirt as they walked along.
"I've never shopped at Pan Dongdong before. I heard their stuff is really good. Is that true?"
"Yeah, their stuff is pretty good. I've been here once, and it feels much better than those supermarkets that are only open to members."
"Oh~ That's good. Then I can feel more at ease buying gifts for Uncle and Auntie!"
Tang Yunshu chuckled, her little face still flushed.
From time to time, the phrase "Are you going home today?" floated through her mind.
It seemed like Brother was hinting at something? As it happened, she also had some indescribable feelings for Chen Kai...
The main thing was... they had already eaten, and they were going to watch a movie later. Was she supposed to say she was going home?
Could it be that Brother couldn't find anyone to eat with? Or no one to treat him to a movie?
"Oh? Why do you want to give my parents gifts?" Chen Kai intentionally raised an eyebrow and asked, looking somewhat confused.
"Well... isn't it the right thing to do? Brother has taught me so much, it's only right!"
Tang Yunshu hesitated slightly. Should she give them as a girlfriend, or as a female friend?
"When did I teach you anything?"
Chen Kai asked, puzzled. The truth was, he really hadn't taught her anything; he only went to her to buy Stocks after getting inside information.
"Hmph... you taught me a lot without even realizing it. Oh, anyway, just don't worry about it. I just want to buy some things for Uncle and Auntie."
Tang Yunshu pouted playfully and casually grabbed two boxes of ginseng, deer-antler, and donkey-hide gelatin from the shelf.
"This is a supplement for Auntie. Uncle probably likes to drink, right? Then I'll buy a case of moutai for Uncle. And two cartons of good cigarettes... No... I feel like that's too cheap. Is there anything else Uncle likes?"
Tang Yunshu fell into a dilemma, her pretty brows knitted tightly together.
"My dad doesn't really have any hobbies, he just likes to have a drink or two occasionally. There's no need for moutai; it's too expensive."
Chen Kai quickly shook his head. A case of moutai was over ninety thousand, and with these supplements, it was nearly two hundred thousand.
If he bought it, he would be the one paying. How could he let Tang Yunshu spend over two hundred thousand?
"It's necessary! For the first time giving gifts to Uncle and Auntie, they have to be good ones!"
Tang Yunshu insisted stubbornly. Then, seeing a handmade leather bag on another shelf for over twenty thousand, she grabbed it without hesitation and tossed it into the cart.
"You... this is too expensive! My parents won't accept it!"
Chen Kai shook his head helplessly. Why did it feel like the nervousness of a son-in-law meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time?
"It's not expensive. Oh, if anything, I'll just explain it to Uncle and Auntie later."
"It's still expensive. And have you thought about it? If you buy all these, then what am I supposed to buy..."
Chen Kai looked helpless. He didn't want Tang Yunshu to spend so much money, and besides, if she bought all these, he wouldn't have anything left to give.
"Isn't what I give the same as what Brother gives? It's all the same! Why care so much about whose name it's under?"
"It's settled!"
Tang Yunshu pouted and laboriously heaved the unopened case of moutai into the cart.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a haughty air, then gripped his shirt corner and continued strolling through the supermarket.
"Seems like there's nothing else to buy, right? I heard Pan Dongdong supermarket has a delivery service. Let's have them deliver it tomorrow. You still have to accompany me... uh... wait, I still have to accompany you to watch a movie later!"
"Yeah!! Alright, I'll go pay."
"No! I'll pay. These are for me to give to Uncle and Auntie!"
Tang Yunshu said haughtily.
"Then what am I supposed to give???"
"You... why don't you give Uncle and Auntie a daughter-in-law?"
Tang Yunshu's voice gradually lowered, and she added in a joking tone, "Otherwise, you can give them nothing and just wait to get beaten up~"
"You're doing this on purpose, right! You want me to get a taste of the 'Seven Wolves' belt!"
Chen Kai was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
How could he not understand what Tang Yunshu meant? It was just that... it wouldn't be easy to explain things to Liu Yunshang.
If he were forced to choose one, he would choose both.
He had a System, for God's sake, couldn't he be a bit more carefree?
"Hehe~ Then just take it as me doing it on purpose."
Tang Yunshu chuckled, rushed to the checkout counter first, and started scanning the items one by one.
She also found a staff member to arrange for delivery tomorrow.
Chen Kai signed for the address and added his contact information, then turned his head to see Tang Yunshu preparing to pay at the self-checkout machine.
"I'll pay. I still have over two hundred thousand in deduction points—no, not points, it's over two hundred thousand that can be deducted from cash."
"Ah?! Over two hundred thousand? Brother, you... how many times have you been here shopping?"
"I encountered a bug with the stored points last time. You studied finance, so you should remember, right?"
"Oh~ I remember now. You're so lucky!"
"However, I'll still pay~ Just wait for next time when you bring me here to shop, you can pay then, isn't it the same?"
Tang Yunshu scanned the code without hesitation and paid 160,000.
Then she gave a beaming smile. "Brother, treat me to a movie later~ Consider it an exchange~"
"Spending over a hundred thousand, and a movie is enough to make up for it?"
Chen Kai reached out and rubbed her head, smiling helplessly.
"Hehe~ I bought these for Uncle and Auntie, so~ you can compensate me on their behalf."
"Fine, fine, let's go watch the movie."
Chen Kai took the initiative to hold her arm as they walked out of the supermarket together. He checked the time; it was already seven-thirty.
By the time they reached the cinema, it would be around eight-ten. The timing was just about right; they could get the movie tickets, buy popcorn and cola, and then it would be almost time to enter.
The two of them rode the Electric Scooter straight towards the nearby cinema.
The scooter moved very slowly, and the two of them whispered to each other along the way, drawing envious glances from passersby.
They only arrived at the cinema entrance at eight-twenty.
The two of them walked into the waiting hall on the second floor of the cinema together, and only then did Tang Yunshu let go of Chen Kai's hand.
She noticed that Chen Kai's eyes looked as if he couldn't wait to walk to the ticket office, and he seemed a bit embarrassed, as if he wanted to buy the tickets to make up for things.
For the sake of Chen Kai's pride, she smiled faintly. "Now it's your turn to treat!"
