As Niu Fenjin walked away, Xia Yuqing reminded her, "Cousin, aren't you going to ask your boyfriend what's up?"

Xu Zixuan waved it off dismissively. "What could he possibly have going on?"

"Busy all day long, and he doesn't even earn much. Useless piece of trash," she grumbled.

Xia Yuqing frowned. She thought it was really bad to talk about her boyfriend like that.

"Aren't you worried he'll get upset?" Xia Yuqing asked, her words carrying a double meaning.

Xu Zixuan sneered. "How dare he get upset?"

"What right does he have to be upset?" She snorted.

"He's got that simp personality. The moment I act a little mad, he comes crawling back to make it up to me." Xu Zixuan said it with a hint of bragging.

Hearing her cousin's words, Xia Yuqing didn't say anything more. She felt her cousin's values were seriously messed up.

An Wuyang listened quietly from the side. So this was what a modern-day "Little Fairy" looked like?

Couldn't be more textbook!

Even though An Wuyang thought Niu Fenjin was a joke himself, considering the guy was willing to buy a Chanel lipstick and a BMW, his income must be decent—at least ten thousand a month or more.

Without that kind of money, it'd be hard to afford even an entry-level BBA.

As for those online stories about people buying a Mercedes on a three-thousand monthly salary—buy first and worry later?

Yet with all that, Niu Fenjin was still treated like garbage in Xu Zixuan's eyes?

What's worse, she labeled him a simp. That alone proved her values were twisted.

After all, even a dog wags its tail when you feed it.

Xu Zixuan had just accepted a Chanel lipstick from Niu Fenjin, and now she was calling him a simp. Classic Little Fairy behavior.

"Let's drop him!" Xu Zixuan cut the topic short, worried that talking too much about Niu Fenjin might upset An Wuyang.

Little did she know, if An Wuyang had any idea what she was thinking, he'd probably burst out laughing!

"An classmate, what else are you planning to buy?" Xu Zixuan deliberately struck up a conversation.

Her fawning smile and deliberately syrupy voice made An Wuyang feel like he was hearing Teacher Zhao's classic line: 'Spring has come, everything is reviving.'

Faced with Xu Zixuan's overeager attitude, An Wuyang felt cold inside but kept a polite exterior. "I'm planning to get a gift for Xia classmate, to thank her for coming with me to buy the suit and giving me her opinions."

Just now, An Wuyang had spent 50,000 Xia Guo Yuan at the Zegna store, using the Beginner Shopping Cashback Card he'd earned from the food reward.

With that card, he'd lucked into the maximum 5x cashback.

In simple terms, he now had 250,000 Xia Guo Yuan in cash, plus the 50,000 Xia Guo Yuan worth of Zegna products. That meant he'd netted 200,000 Xia Guo Yuan in profit and scored 50,000 Xia Guo Yuan worth of luxury brand clothes for free.

Earlier, An Wuyang thought twenty or thirty thousand was nothing to worry about, but now that he'd actually used the Beginner Shopping Cashback Card, he realized how satisfying it was!

Was this the joy of getting something for nothing?

An Wuyang wanted to share that happiness, but he couldn't say it outright. The Happy Life System was his deepest secret, one he'd never tell anyone—not even An Huchun or Li Wenya.

Some secrets are meant to be kept to yourself, no matter who asks.

When Xia Yuqing heard An Wuyang wanted to buy her a thank-you gift, her first instinct was to refuse. She hadn't gotten close to him because he had money.

In fact, it was the opposite!

She'd approached him earlier because she'd heard rumors that his family was bankrupt and his company was on the verge of collapse. She thought he'd fallen from grace, making him more accessible.

That's why she'd reached out.

Now that An Wuyang was offering her a gift, she refused without hesitation. "I don't need a gift, An classmate. Please don't misunderstand. I really don't want anything."

An Wuyang knew full well that Xia Yuqing wasn't after his money.

If she were, why would she have waited until after Sun Zhiming spread those rumors to get close?

In fact, she'd had plenty of chances before. Back when she was being harassed at school, An Wuyang had stepped in to help, but their relationship had ended there with no further contact.

Xu Zixuan shamelessly chimed in, "An classmate, I gave you advice on the suit too. Do I get a gift?"

"Cousin!" Xia Yuqing raised her voice. She couldn't believe how brazen her cousin was.

Actually asking for a gift?

How shameless!

An Wuyang just smiled without answering.

What advice had Xu Zixuan given?

Please.

Giving advice requires experience.

What experience did Xu Zixuan have with luxury brands?

Or did she have any fashion sense for high-end labels?

Besides, the whole shopping trip had been mostly An Wuyang and Jack talking. The only time he'd casually asked for input was when choosing the first dark beige linen casual suit. What advice had Xu Zixuan actually given?

More importantly, that Zegna dark beige linen casual suit looked good on him because he was handsome and kept himself in great shape. The Zegna suit was just the icing on the cake!

So An Wuyang completely ignored Xu Zixuan's shameless questioning.

He had seen plenty of shamelessness in his time, and it didn't faze him at all.

Faced with An Wuyang's indifference and Xia Yuqing's displeasure, Xu Zixuan felt no embarrassment whatsoever. She casually asked again, "An classmate, what gift are you planning to get for my cousin?"

Before An Wuyang could answer, Xia Yuqing once again expressed her refusal.

"Cousin, I already said I don't want any gifts!" Xia Yuqing found her cousin annoying. She didn't want An Wuyang to misunderstand her as a money-grubbing, materialistic girl.

An Wuyang didn't respond to Xu Zixuan. He didn't care about her opinion, so he had no need to consider her feelings.

"Xia classmate, don't overthink it. The reason I'm giving you a gift now is that I actually have something else I need your help with!" An Wuyang explained proactively.

Xia Yuqing's curiosity was immediately piqued. What could she possibly help An Wuyang with?

An Wuyang didn't answer that question. He deliberately kept her in suspense. "As for that question, allow me to hold back for now. I'll need your help later anyway!"

"You're not thinking of refusing my gift because you don't want to help me, are you?" An Wuyang asked, deliberately putting her on the spot.

Just as An Wuyang finished putting Xia Yuqing on the spot with that deliberate challenge, the Happy Life System chimed in with a notification.

'Ding.'
