Grand Hyatt Hotel Presidential Suite.
After Li Xian returned, he collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move. He'd only squirmed for a bit when Cao Xue heard him and ran out from the bedroom.
"Brother Xian... you're back."
Oh, for crying out loud...
Don't see me... don't see me...
Li Xian muttered to himself, burying his head deeper into the sofa. He was truly exhausted after being out and about for so long and really couldn't be bothered with her right now.
Cao Xue clearly didn't get the hint. She plopped down beside Li Xian and pushed him with her little hands, "Brother Xian, I want to show you something..."
"Not looking..." Li Xian annoyedly rolled over, his large body almost pushing Cao Xue off.
"No, no, it's really something good," Cao Xue pestered, leaning over Li Xian and pressing her phone against his face.
"Just a quick look, just a quick look..."
"I guarantee you'll be happy when you see it..."
"Really, trust me, just get up and take a look..."
Cao Xue kept chattering in his ear, her lips almost brushing his ear. Li Xian reluctantly sat up, cracking open his eyes just a sliver.
I really want to feed you Yakult every day.
"What is it, let me see," Li Xian moved his lips, his tone impatient.
Cao Xue didn't care about his attitude. She still had a beaming smile on her face, presenting the phone to him like a treasure, convinced that Li Xian would immediately change his tune upon seeing its contents.
"What's so great about your crappy phone," Li Xian frowned slightly.
"Hehe... don't rush..." Cao Xue said, opening WeChat and scrolling through a chat history. She pointed and said, "Look."
Li Xian peered closely and saw the content. His eyebrows suddenly shot up in surprise. "Whoa... you got into it with her."
The screen showed a chat log between Cao Xue and Zhang Ning. The language was heated, and the insults were beyond reproach. It contained all the essence of a girl's fight.
Li Xian's interest was immediately piqued. He scrolled up with his finger and said, "So, you've completely dropped the pretense."
"It was only a matter of time. I slapped her and then got into your car. Could she still consider me a good sister?" Cao Xue said nonchalantly.
"That's true," Li Xian nodded, looking at her and giving her a thumbs-up. "Well done, hahaha..."
"Heehee... you don't know, when I told her I was in a hotel room with you, her face contorted with anger."
"Mhm, I can imagine..."
"And... I also 'greeted' Lu Yang for you..."
"Oh... what, if that kid isn't convinced, he can come find me..."
"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare. That kid is a total coward, even more so than you used to be... uh, anyway, he's in the wrong no matter how you look at it." Cao Xue almost slipped up and quickly corrected herself.
Tch... what I used to do was called being sensible...
Li Xian glanced at her, smacked his lips, and didn't pay it much mind.
If he dared to act, he wasn't afraid of the other party causing trouble. It was just a matter of confronting them head-on. Anyway, his System Daddy had his back, so what was there to fear?
Besides, like Cao Xue said, Lu Yang was in the wrong from the start. Even if it went to the authorities, it would at most be a slap on the wrist for both sides.
The System dared to issue such a quest, so it knew this wouldn't escalate too much.
Of course, that was assuming Li Xian could hold back and didn't cripple anyone.
Cao Xue's eyes darted around, and she said fawningly, "Brother Xian, look how hard I've been working for you, shouldn't I get...?"
Li Xian knew what she wanted. He interrupted her, "Just say it, what do you want?"
Cao Xue's face lit up. "Brother Xian, I told you yesterday! How about we go upstairs and get something to eat first."
"I don't have time to accompany you," Li Xian shook his head, deliberately teasing her before continuing, "However, you can do whatever you want. I'll have the butler arrange it for you."
"You scared me half to death! Cutting off your sentence like that, you're so annoying," Cao Xue patted her chest, her expression quickly shifting from worry to joy. "You're not accompanying me, so I'll just go by myself..."
"Don't try that with me. Go have fun by yourself, and all the expenses are on me." Li Xian looked at her as if he knew her perfectly. She's bored and wants me to keep her company, right? Stop fooling around. She just wants to spend my money freely.
"Heeheehee..." Cao Xue giggled somewhat awkwardly, then asked cautiously, "Brother Xian, I have one more small request."
"Spit it out!"
"Um... can I invite two friends?"
"Male or female... uh..." Li Xian blurted out instinctively, then felt like he was overstepping.
Cao Xue blinked and said, "Two girls, and you know both of them."
"Who?"
"Meng Feifei and Lu Ting."
After sending Cao Xue away, Li Xian took a bath. Then, he took his new phone and newly arrived laptop to the bedroom.
He put everything on the bed and then took out the remaining money from his pocket.
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...
Li Xian counted. He still had over a thousand in change, and he took out another twenty thousand from the safe in his bedroom. That was what he had withdrawn yesterday, and this much was left.
Looking at the bills, Li Xian took out his phone to check his bank balance. He had spent nine million six hundred sixty thousand on a house before, leaving him with over six thousand in change. Adding the forty-six thousand six hundred from the discount card rebate, he had about fifty-four thousand in the card.
"Fifty-four thousand plus twenty thousand is seventy-five thousand. If the forty-six thousand rebate doesn't count as mission funds, how much more do I need to spend?" Li Xian rubbed his chubby face, his mind suddenly a bit fuzzy. "Whatever, I'll spend it first."
He opened his computer and connected to the internet, logging into Bilibili's Member Purchase Center and Taobao.
Li Xian had been eyeing several figurines for a long time. The mission funds left in his account were just right for clearing out the stock.
His fingers flew across the keyboard, typing in the keywords: One Piece Empress, Boa. Hancock.
Clicking search, a row of Empress figurines appeared in the blink of an eye. Li Xian licked his lips, using his hand to control the mouse and click on the price from high to low, his eyes never leaving the screen.
"Brand UniqueArt, One Piece, Boa. Hancock, price 6188. Tsk tsk, this is the one."
Clicking to add to cart, Li Xian typed Rei Ayanami into the search bar again.
All sorts of Rei Ayanami figures appeared before his eyes, dazzling Li Xian. He spent a long time selecting a few that were over 400mm tall, totaling just over ten thousand.
Before the System, Li Xian wouldn't have dared to imagine spending one or two thousand on figurines. Now, his wish was finally granted.
Thank you, System Daddy!
Li Xian smiled, his eyes disappearing, and then he added a few Hatsune Miku figurines to his cart. Of course, he also picked out a few Nami, Robin, Tsunade, and Hinata. He gathered a total of thirty thousand and paid directly.
As he entered his payment password, a "ding" sounded in his head.
