WPG0041: Domineering CEO: I Don't Want What You Think, I Want What I Think!

'Ding!'

'Random Event: I'm B-King!'

'As a Domineering CEO, I don't care what you think—I decide what I think!'

'Event Requirement: Give a gift to Xia Yuqing.'

'Event Reward: Comprehensive evaluation based on the gift's value, Xia Yuqing's satisfaction, and the level of envy and jealousy from observer Xu Zixuan.'

???

What kind of twisted event is this?

So he really was a Domineering CEO now?

And on top of that, he had to drag Xu Zixuan in as part of the play?

That kind of thing was awesome!

An Wuyang had zero goodwill toward Xu Zixuan, because in his eyes, she was a textbook Little Fairy, and he had no fondness for Little Fairies at all.

Any Little Fairy, for that matter.

Facing An Wuyang's deliberate difficulty, Xia Yuqing replied anxiously, "An classmate, I'm willing to help you, and I don't need a gift."

Xu Zixuan sneered inwardly, because in her view, Xia Yuqing was a complete White Lotus, putting on a pretentious act.

It had to be said that the same behavior could mean different things to different people.

In An Wuyang's eyes, he saw Xia Yuqing's sincerity and simplicity;

But in Xu Zixuan's eyes, she felt Xia Yuqing's tactics were quite clever, perfectly playing the pitiful White Lotus image.

Xu Zixuan really wanted to say that if Xia Yuqing didn't want a gift, then An Wuyang could give it to her!

But after she had actively asked for a gift earlier and been ignored by An Wuyang, she didn't ask again, because she knew he could keep ignoring her.

"Helping is a must, but giving a gift is also a must." An Wuyang made a Domineering CEO declaration.

"Is there anything you like?" An Wuyang asked Xia Yuqing if she had a Wishlist.

If she had a Wishlist, he'd clear it for her on the spot.

Xia Yuqing felt An Wuyang's firm attitude and didn't refuse him again.

So she thought for a moment before replying, "It just so happens my dance shoes are a bit worn out. If An classmate could give me a pair of Dance Shoes, that would be great!"

Dance Shoes?

Xu Zixuan couldn't even muster the energy to complain!

How much could a pair of dance shoes cost?

None of the Luxury Brands sold dance shoes. Ordinary dance shoes were cheap—some even cost less than ten bucks, right?

Even pricier ones were just tens or hundreds of yuan; dance shoes over four digits were very rare.

Xu Zixuan really wanted to knock on Xia Yuqing's head and ask what she was thinking.

An Wuyang was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

"But I don't know where to buy Dance Shoes," he added.

Starlight Plaza probably didn't sell dance shoes, but since Xia Yuqing studied dance, she definitely knew where to get them.

Sure enough!

Xia Yuqing picked up the conversation, "Let's go to the Tianjie across the street. They have dance shoes there."

Saying this, she looked at Xu Zixuan, "Cousin, do you still want to come with us?"

Xia Yuqing's subtext was: She and An Wuyang were just going to buy dance shoes; there was no benefit for Xu Zixuan to tag along.

Xu Zixuan gritted her teeth inwardly, furious at the word "still"!

Bottling up her anger, Xu Zixuan replied firmly, "I've got nothing else to do anyway. I'll come along for the stroll."

An Wuyang silently gave Xu Zixuan a thumbs-up!

In the random event that had just triggered, Xu Zixuan was part of the play, and he had worried she might bail out midway, lowering the final evaluation.

Now that Xu Zixuan was coming along too, An Wuyang thought it was great.

Xia Yuqing, on the other hand, looked helplessly at her cousin. She felt this cousin was way too outrageous and thick-skinned, wasn't she?

Xia Yuqing didn't bother with her cousin anymore. She walked ahead to lead the way for An Wuyang. With her cousin present, she could have chatted about school topics with An Wuyang, but now she could only walk in silence.

That was the power of a Third Wheel!

After about five or six minutes, Xia Yuqing led An Wuyang to the underground mall at Tianjie, then found Dance Shoes in a small shoe store.

Just as An Wuyang had guessed, the Dance Shoes were very cheap!

The pair Xia Yuqing picked out cost only 30 yuan, and she only wanted one pair.

Xu Zixuan shook her head at the price and the situation!

Hadn't An Wuyang just dropped a full fifty thousand at Zegna and offered to buy Xu Zixuan a gift? And now the gift she picked was only thirty yuan?

In Xu Zixuan's eyes, that was just too stupid!

If it were her, she'd definitely go for a luxury brand bag!

Even if Starlight Plaza didn't have Hermes or Chanel, at least a Louis Vuitton wouldn't be too much, right?

And this was it?

Thirty yuan to brush him off?

Xu Zixuan felt her cousin was—

Nice way to put it, naive; blunt way, an idiot!

An Wuyang paid first, then asked, "Do you usually wear these dance shoes when you practice?"

"Mm-hmm!" Xia Yuqing confirmed.

"And what do you wear?" An Wuyang asked curiously.

Xia Yuqing blushed slightly as she replied, "If I'm just practicing at home, I wear whatever—loose T-shirts are fine."

"If I go to the dance studio, I have to wear dance practice clothes," she added.

"And if I'm rehearsing at the studio, I wear different outfits depending on the dance," she continued.

"I get it!" An Wuyang said, signaling he understood, then called out, "Follow me!"

Xia Yuqing secretly wondered if he was going to buy her dance practice clothes?

This time, she didn't refuse right away, because dance practice clothes were also cheap—a regular set cost around a hundred yuan.

Xu Zixuan also guessed that An Wuyang might buy Xia Yuqing dance practice clothes. She couldn't help but curl her lip, once again thinking Xia Yuqing was a bit dumb.

She could have asked for a luxury brand bag as a gift, but instead she had to play the White Lotus and ask for dance shoes?

Now she'd outsmarted herself, hadn't she?

Even at this moment, Xu Zixuan still thought Xia Yuqing was pretending to be a White Lotus!

Guess it took one to know one?

Xu Zixuan was a Little Fairy herself, so she assumed Xia Yuqing was also a Little Fairy, just putting on an act.

Luckily, An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing had no idea what Xu Zixuan was thinking, or An Wuyang would be laughing his head off, and Xia Yuqing might just flip out?

An Wuyang led the way, and a few minutes later, he brought Xia Yuqing and Xu Zixuan to the Lululemon store.

Lululemon was originally a yoga clothing brand, but recently it had hired a bunch of celebrities and influencers to build hype. It had a big presence in the market, and its tech fabrics were genuinely skin-friendly, so its momentum kept growing.

An Wuyang called out, "Xia classmate, I'll give you two more sets of dance clothes. You won't say no, will you?"
