27: 360 million

The second floor of MixC remained a display of luxury. The mirror-like marble floor acted as a massive reflective surface, clearly mirroring the giant logos of LV, Gucci, and Hermès, each carrying significant weight and showcasing the level of consumption here.

Chen Li stood with his hands casually in his pockets, watching Zhao Yue flit between luxury shops like a flattered little bird.

"If you like it, buy it. No need to look at the price," Chen Li said indifferently, his voice sounding exceptionally clear in the spacious shop.

Zhao Yue had been a bit reserved at first, but under Chen Li's repeated affirming glances, she gradually let herself go.

Chanel suits, Dior dresses, LV bags... She had visited almost every brand she fancied.

【Host spent on Zhao Yue: 30,290 Yuan】

【Affection Level: +12】

【System transfer received: 363,480 Yuan】

【Host spent on Zhao Yue: 83,150 Yuan】

【Affection Level: +32】

【System transfer received: 2,660,800 Yuan】

【Available withdrawal limit: 247,124,280 Yuan】

As the shopping bags piled up higher, Chen Li watched the numbers constantly jumping in the system, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Zhao Yue had already spent over six hundred thousand today, and her Affection Level had soared to +67, while his own account had increased by over twenty million.

【Available withdrawal limit: 275,184,780 Yuan】

Looking at Zhao Yue's eyes, which were shining with excitement, Chen Li shook his head inwardly.

This woman's desire to shop was truly astonishing. Next time, it might be easier to just transfer the money to her and let her buy things herself.

But since they were already here today, he might as well see it through to the end.

"Chen Li, I really can't carry anymore..." Zhao Yue said, looking at the mountain of shopping bags piled at her feet, feeling a bit troubled.

Yet her gaze still lingered on the shop windows; she clearly hadn't had enough.

"Then we'll buy more next time," Chen Li said, taking the heaviest bags from her hands.

The two returned to the Maybach. Zhao Yue sat on the soft leather seat, her palms still feeling the lingering warmth from their frantic shopping spree.

She secretly examined the exquisite interior decorations; the carbon fiber trim shimmered in the light, and the metal mesh covers of the speakers exuded a cold, sleek texture.

"If... if only I could own a car of my own..."

Once this thought emerged, it grew wildly in her heart like weeds.

She recalled Chen Li's composed demeanor when he swiped his card earlier, and the envious glances of passersby as she carried bags big and small.

But then she hesitated. She had already spent over six hundred thousand today; would it be too greedy to ask for a car? What if she annoyed Chen Li...?

But then she thought again, he had readily agreed to whatever she wanted to buy earlier. Perhaps... perhaps he didn't care about this little bit of money at all?

Her fingers unconsciously twisted the chain of her newly purchased Chanel bag, her heart beating so fast it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.

Through the rearview mirror, she quietly observed Chen Li's profile, trying to find a clue in his expression.

"The worst that could happen is getting rejected, right?" she pondered to herself, "But what if he agrees?"

After fastening her seatbelt, she tentatively asked, "Chen Li, this car of yours... is it very expensive?"

"A few million, I suppose," Chen Li said, starting the car nonchalantly.

"Then... then..." Zhao Yue took a deep breath and mustered the courage to say, "Could you buy me a car too? It doesn't have to be this nice..."

After saying this, her heart pounded, fearing that this excessive request would annoy Chen Li.

To her surprise, Chen Li only raised an eyebrow: "What car do you want?"

"B-bmw 7 series," Zhao Yue's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

That was her dream car. She remembered during a High School class reunion, a rich girl had shown up in a BMW 5 Series. That impressive sight was something she still couldn't forget. If she could drive a bmw 7 series to the next reunion...

"Alright, let's go buy it now."

Chen Li said this nonchalantly, but it left Zhao Yue completely stunned.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat felt as if it were blocked by something.

This was a bmw 7 series, not those luxury bags from earlier. He didn't even hesitate?

Until the car smoothly drove into the parking lot of the BMW dealership, Zhao Yue still felt like she was dreaming.

She looked at the gleaming BMW logo in the showroom, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes.

"Welcome to BMW!" A sales consultant greeted them enthusiastically. Their gaze lingered for a moment on the watch on Chen Li's wrist, and their attitude became even more respectful.

Chen Li pointed directly at the sapphire blue bmw 7 series in the center of the showroom: "This one, the top trim, do you have it?"

"Yes, we do! Yes, we do!" the salesperson nodded hurriedly, "This is the top-of-the-line 740Li Exclusive model, fully equipped."

The entire car-buying process was unbelievably smooth. When Zhao Yue signed her name on the purchase contract, her hand was still trembling slightly.

It wasn't until her phone received the text message from the Bank confirming the successful purchase that she woke up from her dream and realized—this 1.26 million luxury car really belonged to her.

【Zhao Yue】

【Affection Level: +79】

Meanwhile, Chen Li's system notifications rang out one after another:

【Host spent on Zhao Yue: 1,260,000 Yuan】

【Affection Level: +79】

【System transfer received: 99,540,000 Yuan】

【Available withdrawal limit: 344,003,480 Yuan】

Looking at the 340 million balance on the system panel, plus the over twenty million in his Bank card, his total assets had already reached 360 million.

Chen Li thought to himself: As long as there are no issues with Meng Yu and Zhao Yue, he would soon be able to reach the 4 billion goal.

He wasn't too worried about Meng Yu, but this Zhao Yue... was harder to gauge, after all, he didn't know her.

He glanced at the girl in the passenger seat who was still immersed in wild joy. This immense wealth—it would depend on whether she could keep her promise.

On the way back, the two of them held the same mood...

When Chen Li asked Zhao Yue where she wanted to be dropped off, he was somewhat surprised to learn that she was actually a student at the Normal College—the same school as Qin Xiaomeng, whom he had just met today.

As the Maybach slowly drove onto the Campus, it immediately attracted countless gazes. Girls stopped in twos and threes to watch, whispering to each other.

"Oh my god, is that a Maybach?"

"When did someone so rich come to our school?"

...

While driving, Chen Li habitually used the system to scan the passing girls.

It had to be said, there were indeed many girls at the Normal College, but to his disappointment, there weren't many with high scores.

Occasionally there were a few girls with double-zero data, but their looks and Figure scores were very low.

"Stop right here," Zhao Yue said, pointing to a Dormitory building not far away.

After the car came to a stop, Zhao Yue got out under the gaze of everyone.

She deliberately slowed her movements, calmly retrieving the pile of shopping bags imprinted with luxury logos from the back seat.

The envious gazes of the surrounding girls gave her vanity immense satisfaction.

"I've transferred one hundred thousand to you. Next time, go buy things yourself. If it's not enough, ask me for more."

"Okay, thank you, Chen Li." She smiled sweetly, her voice as sweet as honey.

Watching Zhao Yue walk toward the Dormitory with light steps, Chen Li was lost in thought. Hopefully, she could keep her composure.

After all, to be able to handle such immense wealth, having ambition alone wasn't enough...
