With a ladies-first attitude, he accompanied Meng Qingyuan to shop first.

But they ended up at a lingerie store.

Meng Qingyuan did not take long. She picked out two bras, asked Luo Feng for his opinion, and paid directly.

They were D-cup bras, with very little fabric and quite sheer—one purple, one black.

Luo Feng merely imagined what she would look like wearing them, and a certain part of him began to stir.

Meng Qingyuan even had Luo Feng touch them so he could feel the material, then softly whispered in his ear:

"If I wear them later, wouldn't that mean your hand has indirectly touched somewhere on me?"

"..."

Fuck.

If Wu Meng had not been beside them, he would have gotten up close and personal with Meng Qingyuan.

Little did he know, if Wu Meng had not been there, Meng Qingyuan would not have dared tease him like this either.

Wu Meng sighed inwardly.

Sister Qingyuan was too amazing. Brother Feng—or rather, any man—would not be able to withstand her.

She could not learn it at all, nor did she want to.

It was just that her future tutoring sessions were definitely looking uncertain.

"Come on, let's go to the jewelry store and buy some cheap little gifts first."

Meng Qingyuan and Wu Meng both felt their hearts skip a beat. They both had the feeling that these gifts were for them.

Besides, gifts from a jewelry store had the advantage of retaining their value.

They just did not know what level of generosity Brother Feng would show.

"Hello, sir and ladies. Welcome to Zhou Jinjin."

"What would the three of you like to look at?"

The female clerk greeted them warmly.

"Let's look at bracelets around five thousand," Luo Feng said.

"Certainly. This way, please." The clerk led the way.

Wu Meng and Meng Qingyuan followed, both quite pleased with that price range.

After all, Brother Feng had not asked for anything. It was practically a free gift.

Some bosses and executives talked about giving them handbags worth ten or twenty thousand, but they only wanted to take them out for that kind of thing.

The difference in both intent and class was enormous.

Yet neither of them had imagined that the gifts were not for them, but for the receptionists.

They were all tasks... He had no intention of doing anything with the receptionists.

Luo Feng quickly selected two similarly styled bracelets, each priced at 5,888 yuan. They weighed less than ten grams; gold prices were getting higher and higher.

He had the two women try them on separately. They both fit well, so he had the clerk wrap them up.

Watching the clerk package them separately, Wu Meng and Meng Qingyuan both felt a little delighted.

They were both wondering whether he would give them the gifts now.

"I'll leave them at the store for now. Someone will come pick them up later."

Luo Feng told the clerk, then explained that she should hand them over when someone came with a photo of the payment receipt.

He had already sent the photo to Zhang Qian and Wang Yan, telling them to come collect them later.

Wu Meng and Meng Qingyuan were slightly disappointed.

"You two beauties have kept me company for so long. I have to show my appreciation."

"Let's go browse Cartier first."

Luo Feng looked at Wu Meng. "You should know where it is, right?"

Wu Meng was a little dazed. Her disappointment from moments earlier instantly turned into excitement again.

She knew the Cartier store in this mall better than anyone.

Brother Feng was asking her because he wanted to buy her something?

But Cartier was a little expensive.

Would he be like other men, making demands before buying something, like asking to take her out or something?

Filled with both eager anticipation and unease, they entered the store.

"Welcome to Cartier, all three of you!"

"Please come in."

The female clerk took one look at the clothes worn by the one man and two women and had already calculated the total value of each person's outfit in her mind.

The man's outfit was worth no more than 500, the tall beauty who was around five foot seven wore no more than 3,000, and the baby-faced, busty beauty wore no more than 10,000.

But the three of them were clearly centered around the man.

Thanks to her professionalism—or rather, store policy—she had to make every customer feel welcome. So she did not look down on them for dressing cheaply, much less treat them coldly or mock them.

"Let's look at women's watches," Luo Feng said, not wanting to waste time.

"Of course. Please follow me." The clerk led the three of them to the watch section.

Then came a string of introductions about the brand and its style—the usual luxury goods routine.

If the story was spun well enough, even a hemp rope could cost more than a gold bar.

"Mengmeng, see if there's anything you like."

Wu Meng's heart began to race, but the watches before her were all too expensive. Even the cheapest cost tens of thousands, while the one she liked cost 220,000.

"Brother Feng, forget it. It's too expensive."

Wu Meng wanted it badly, but reason told her that if she accepted something at that price, then if Brother Feng made inappropriate demands, she would not be able to refuse.

"This one, then."

Luo Feng pointed to a watch with a black strap, a platinum case, a beaded crown, and many small diamonds set into it.

"Certainly, sir."

The clerk was overjoyed. This uncle did not look wealthy, yet he was spending 222,000 yuan right away!

The commission...

"Ah!" Wu Meng was stunned. It was the one she liked most. Ever since she had happened to enter the store and seen that watch, she had been thinking about it constantly.

Had she made it too obvious just now, and Brother Feng noticed?

But this watch was too expensive. It exceeded her expectations by far, far too much.

"Brother Feng."

"Don't do this, no!"

"It's too expensive!"

She was both excited and afraid. If he really bought it for her, what would she use to refuse Brother Feng?

Many people appeared priceless, but everyone actually had a price.

For ordinary people, it could range from hundreds to thousands.

Ten or twenty thousand might even be a month's income in some places.

For Wu Meng, she could refuse 20,000 without hesitation. But what about 50,000?

Could she still refuse?

What about 100,000? 200,000?

Most importantly, in her eyes, Luo Feng was obviously a hidden tycoon. If she accepted this once, he would give her even more money in the future!

Seeing that Wu Meng's attitude was still rather firm, Luo Feng knew that although she seemed hesitant right now, the task had to be completed without fail.

He decided to give Wu Meng an excuse, making it easier for her to accept the gift.

He took a deep breath. His expression changed, and the lust in his eyes turned into faint sorrow.

"Ten years ago, I had a younger sister. Back then, she wanted to buy a doll. I had just started working and had no money, so I promised to buy it for her when I got my first paycheck."

"She jumped for joy and secretly kissed my cheek while I wasn't paying attention."

"We kept waiting for payday."

"But!"

Wu Meng, Meng Qingyuan, and the clerk were all listening intently. When they suddenly heard his tone change, they already had a bad feeling.

"A car accident meant she would never see the doll she wanted again."

Just as they feared... x3

Luo Feng's voice was sorrowful as he raised his head and sighed softly.

Fuck, for the sake of this task, I had to kill off a sister who never even existed. What a sacrifice!

"Brother Feng..." x2

Both Wu Meng and Meng Qingyuan wanted to comfort him.

"Please help me put it on her."

"I'm considered rich now. I can't let this kind of regret happen around me again!"

"What does this little bit of money matter? As my friend, as long as you're happy, I'd be willing to spend millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions!"

The female clerk was still deeply moved. She had heard that keeping an expensive canary cost roughly several million—for example, 100,000 a month came to 1.2 million a year.

But she had never seen someone who had clearly not reached that stage yet give a 220,000-yuan watch right from the start.

That meant this tall beauty might really receive wealth on the scale of tens of millions in the future.

As for hundreds of millions, she did not dare imagine it.

Picking up the watch, the clerk skillfully put it on Wu Meng's wrist.

Wu Meng stood there blankly. In that brief moment of distraction, there was suddenly a 222,000-yuan watch on her hand.

Her heart was beating a little fast, and she felt slightly dazed.

"I..."

"Thank you, Brother Feng."

After hesitating, she gently hooked her arm around Luo Feng's and softly said, "I'm sorry for making Brother Feng remember something sad just now."

As his younger sister, it should be fine for her to hold her older brother's arm and comfort him, right?

Brother Feng had just said his younger sister even secretly kissed him.

Then she...

She looked at Luo Feng, her cheeks faintly red.

Meng Qingyuan watched with clenched teeth. A tycoon at Brother Feng's level was exactly what she had always been looking for!

"Sir, ladies, please take care. We look forward to seeing you again."

Watching Luo Feng and the two women leave the store, the female clerk felt deeply puzzled.

There were two women and one man. Couldn't the other woman be his younger sister too?

Why did he not buy the other younger sister a gift as well?

"Sister Qingyuan, let's go browse LV. Lead the way."
