Inside the elevator, Tian Chuxi finally took off her mask, revealing her delicate features and looking incredibly youthful.

Yu Kaili watched from the side, silently praising him in her heart.

She's definitely got the talent for this. She looks beautiful on screen, but in real life, her presence and charisma are even more striking. It seems the camera can't fully capture her beauty.

"This way, please."

A short while later, they arrived at their floor, Yu Kaili quickly came out to lead the way.

The room arranged for Tian Chuxi this time was a garden river view suite at the InterContinental Garden Hotel, which is second only to the presidential suite. It is 100 square meters in size and has a great view.

Her accompanying staff were also on the same floor.

A moment later, Tian Chuxi moved in, and Yu Kaili was discussing some details with Tian Chuxi's assistant.

"By the way, Assistant Sun, our boss is also a fan of Miss Tian, and he's specially hosting a banquet tonight to welcome her," Yu Kaili said with a smile.

"I hope Miss Tian will do me the honor of attending your presence."

"Thank you, thank you, you're too kind. It's just a bit unfortunate, Chu Xi has an offline promotional event tonight, and her schedule is very full these days, so it's really inconvenient," Assistant Sun said politely, seemingly quite experienced.

"I understand." Yu Kaili nodded, then took out a photo of Tian Chuxi. "Would you please sign this for me, Ms. Tian?"

"No problem," Assistant Sun said with a smile as she accepted the photos.

A moment later, Assistant Sun quietly entered the garden suite.

"Sister Sun, let's go over the schedule later." Tian Chuxi took off her sun hat, and since there were no outsiders around, she was able to relax for a while.

"Okay, no problem. By the way..." Assistant Sun placed the photo in front of Tian Chuxi.

Tian Chuxi shook her head and smiled, then skillfully took out a pen and quickly signed her name on the photo.

"Alright, all done. By the way, whose is this one?"

"It's Mr. Yu from the hotel. Oh, by the way, Mr. Yu was just about to ask you something. He said the hotel owner wants to invite you to dinner," Assistant Sun casually mentioned from the side.

"Not again..." Tian Chuxi was a little speechless. "Did you push it for me?"

"Of course, I declined," Assistant Sun said with a smile. "I know you... That President Yu didn't say anything, she just asked me to get her an autographed photo."

"It's good that you declined." Tian Chuxi breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I'm just staying at a hotel, and I get these kinds of invitations. It's really too much. I just want to finish the event and get some rest."

"Okay, you should rest for a while. I'll call you in advance," Assistant Sun said.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Sister Sun." Tian Chuxi let her long, black hair fall loose and went straight into the bedroom to rest.

Zhang Yang didn't find it strange when he received Yu Kaili's message, nor did he ask Yu Kaili to make any further contact, such as asking her to quote the price of a meal or something similar.

It's unnecessary and not worth it.

Since you've politely declined, then let it go. Don't act like you're some kind of devoted fan.

Zhang Yang touched the autographed photo that Yu Kaili had just given him on the table, then casually put it in his pocket and called Xiang Xiaotian.

"Did you get the autographed photo?" Xiang Xiaotian asked, a little excited.

"Yeah, we're here," Zhang Yang said casually.

"I love you." Xiang Xiaotian's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquettishness. "By the way, have you met him in person? Did the big star look at you differently? Was he captivated by your handsomeness?"

"Forget it... Do you think she's a lovesick fool?" Zhang Yang didn't want to talk about this anymore.

He even refused my invitation to dinner, let alone kissing me.

Sometimes I feel like I have a lot of wealth, but reality always reminds me from time to time, "Hmm, calm down, be humble, you're still a long way off."

"I feel like you're talking about me... like I'm a lovesick fool?" Xiang Xiaotian a light reproach.

Bite!

Detected potential partner: Xiang Xiaotian

Given that the host and Xiang Xiaotian have developed a sufficient bond value, and that the host has repeatedly remained indifferent to Xiang Xiaotian's initiatives, a random event is generated to drive the process forward.

Double cashback event for designated users

Target: Xiang Xiaotian

Cashback limit: 10 million

Zhang Yang was a little confused.

What the hell? It's my freedom not to advance the relationship, so why are you, the system, interfering? It's none of your business!

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Zhang Yang regretted it.

How can you blame the system? Who is the system? It's your provider! Aren't you being ungrateful?

Besides, the system didn't force me to do it, did it?

The event is generated and displayed here; do you need to check it yourself? There's no penalty anyway.

"Should I use it or not?" Zhang Yang wondered to himself.

The cashback amount is ten million, which means you can spend five million, and this five million is specifically for Xiang Xiaotian's consumption.

It's like making five million for free without spending a single penny of your own money.

Even a tiny mosquito is still meat.

Zhang Yang felt that with his current wealth and the cash he had on him, he wasn't at the point where he could disregard five million.

As for the cost...

It's possible that his relationship with Xiang Xiaotian has once again become uncertain or even out of control.

"I'm not going to think about it anymore, I'll just spend it." Zhang Yang quickly put an end to the distracting thoughts in his mind and made a decisive decision.

Coincidentally, he still has 20 million left from the cashback benefits from last time, so he might as well take this opportunity to spend it all.

"What are you thinking? Do you really think I'm a lovesick fool?" Xiang Xiaotian asked softly. "Whether I'm lovesick or not doesn't matter, just don't think I'm silly."

"No, I was just thinking about something." Zhang Yang smiled as he snapped out of his reverie. "By the way, do you want to go shopping this afternoon?"

"Okay, okay, but..." Xiang Xiaotian hesitated.

"But what?" Zhang Yang asked.

"But there might be one more person... it's my best friend whom I've known since childhood. She just returned to Hangzhou these past two days, and we had originally planned to meet up this afternoon," Xiang Xiaotian explained.

"It's okay, let's go together," Zhang Yang said casually.

"Okay, can you pick me up later? I'm putting on makeup." Xiang Xiaotian smiled happily.

"Can it be finished within half an hour?" Upon hearing about the makeup, Zhang Yang subconsciously checked the time.

"Absolutely no problem," Xiang Xiaotian assured her.

Zhang Yang believed Xiang Xiaotian and, calculating the time, left the hotel and drove his Cullinan straight to the Junlan Hotel.

Outside the Junlan Hotel, not long after Zhang Yang sent the message, he saw Xiang Xiaotian, with her long hair flowing, walking Xiang Xiaotian.

She has fair skin, a beautiful face, and light makeup.

For a fleeting moment, as Zhang Yang stood by West Lake, the phrase inexplicably flashed through his mind. "Whether lightly or heavily adorned, she is always beautiful."

Men, you know, don't have their hearts flutter all the time.

But sometimes it's just a fleeting moment, and all you remember in the years to come is that one moment.

"Have you been waiting long?" Xiang Xiaotian gently bent down and sat in the passenger seat, giving him a hug first.

Suddenly, a soft, warm embrace enveloped me.

"Hmm, I just arrived too." Zhang Yang's hand slid from Xiang Xiaotian's back to her waist and patted her gently. "You've improved; you're very punctual."

"I can't be late for my date with Brother Zhang." Xiang Xiaotian then gave him a kiss.

Zhang Yang... was already used to it.

Whenever possible, Xiang Xiaotian would create various forms of physical contact.

Aside from not reaching base, the two are practically like a couple... What bottom line? If the scales tip slightly every day, sooner or later, the bottom line will be crossed.

A moment later, Zhang Yang drove to Hangzhou Tower Shopping Mall.

Located in Wulin Square, the Hangzhou Tower Shopping Center is home to a collection of top international luxury brands, making it the perfect place for Zhang Yang to spend his money.

He doesn't necessarily have to use up his 20 million quota here.

However, spending Xiang Xiaotian's five million here would be effortless; she could easily find a Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, or Tiffany & Co. and it would be gone in no time.

"Where is your friend?" Zhang Yang asked.

"She just said she went to Chanel first, we can just go find her there." Xiang Xiaotian glanced at her phone, then asked expectantly, "By the way..."

"What's wrong now?" Zhang Yang asked, puzzled.

"When I introduce you later, could you please say you're my boyfriend?" Xiang Xiaotian clasped her hands together, her eyes full of hope.

"Introduce him however you want. He's practically being treated like a son-in-law by your parents. Why would they care about what you say?" Zhang Yang said, somewhat amused.

"That's great!" Xiang Xiaotian cheered and opened her arms to hug Zhang Yang's neck.

Zhang Yang's face immediately fell completely.

A moment later, Zhang Yang drove straight to the entrance of the Chanel store.

The two got out of the car together and went into the Chanel store.

"Over there!" Xiang Xiaotian pointed to a girl in the distance who was being accompanied by a shop assistant and pointing at a dress.

The girl was slightly less attractive Xiang Xiaotian, but she had a great figure with long legs in her super short hot pants, and looked quite hot.

"Mi Guo!" Xiang Xiaotian waved from afar.

"Xiao Tian?" The girl named Mi Guo greeted her with a look of surprise and delight.

The two best friends, who have been close for many years, hugged each other as soon as they met.

A rich, beautiful, and successful woman's friend is naturally also a rich, beautiful, and successful woman.

Zhang Yang glanced at her from the side: the Louis Vuitton bag, the Cartier Ballon Bleu, and the jewelry around her fair neck—all sparkly and adorned with numerous diamonds.

"Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Yang, my boyfriend." Xiang Xiaotian hugged Zhang Yang's arm. "And this is Mi Guo, my best, best friend."

"Hello." Mi Guo carefully examined the figure in front of her.

Tall, handsome, incredibly dashing... the word that flashed through my mind instantly came to mind: dashing and handsome.

She suddenly reached out her hand.

"Hello." Zhang Yang nodded slightly and extended his hand to shake hers.

"Wow, Xiao Tian, where did you find such a handsome boyfriend?" Mi Guo's eyes were filled with amazement, and she couldn't help but shower him with compliments in front of Zhang Yang.

In her opinion, even if such a boyfriend is all show and no substance, he's still incredibly worthwhile.

It's common knowledge that rich girls are all obsessed with romance.

"We had to search for him with a lantern," Xiang Xiaotian couldn't help but chuckle, then hugged Zhang Yang tightly with a touch of pride.

"You might not find one even with a lantern, you've basically just found a Wang HD." Mi Guo was increasingly amazed by Zhang Yang. "Hey handsome, by the way, Zhang Yang, right? Do you have anyone else around you who's a little less attractive than you?"

"Not at the moment, but I'll keep an eye out for you later," Zhang Yang said with a smile. "A rich and beautiful woman like you, would you lack anything?"

"That's what they call 'better to eat one perfect peach than a whole basket of rotten apricots.'" Mi Guo said, then exclaimed, "Zhang Yang, did Xiao Tian buy you this whole outfit?"

"That's nonsense, my boyfriend owns his own business." Before Zhang Yang could even speak, Xiang Xiaotian interrupted. "Don't just assume that every handsome guy you see is penniless, okay? All your ex-boyfriends combined aren't even worth as much..."

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you can't stand anyone saying a bad word about your boyfriend, right?" Mi Guo said with a grin, pulling Xiang Xiaotian aside. "Okay, okay, I misjudged him. I apologize to you, and... I apologize to handsome Zhang too."

"It's nothing," Zhang Yang said nonchalantly.

He knew all too well how rare it was for a man to possess both good looks and wealth, so it wasn't surprising that others might think that way.

"I'm glad you don't mind. By the way, could you borrow your girlfriend for a bit?" Mi Guo smiled and pulled Xiang Xiaotian along. "I'll ask her to help me take a look."

"Make yourselves at home." Zhang Yang nodded.

A moment later, Mi Guo changed into several outfits and showed them to Xiang Xiaotian.

Xiang Xiaotian was confused.

"Hmm... it's alright, it's pretty good."

"It's alright, but is it really a good deal? It'll cost almost 100,000 yuan. My dad only gives me a fixed amount of pocket money each month." Mi Guo spun around in place.

"How about I ask Zhang Yang to take a look at you?" Xiang Xiaotian had a whimsical idea.

"Is this okay?" Mi Guo's cheeks inexplicably flushed.

A moment later, Zhang Yang arrived.

Mi Guo, with a touch of shyness, twirled slightly in front of Zhang Yang, showing off her figure.

She chose an extremely form-fitting dress, which perfectly accentuated her figure.

Zhang Yang's eyes were clear as he glanced at them briefly.

"That one might be better."

"Really? Then I'll try it on. A handsome guy's taste is never wrong." Mi Guo looked at the clothes Zhang Yang pointed to, and tried them on with a little bit of doubt.

A moment later, she changed into a new dress, stood in front of the mirror, her eyes filled with undisguised surprise.

"Great! Handsome Zhang, you have such a good eye! This is the one."

The shop assistant happily stepped forward and gently adjusted Mi Guo's clothes.

A moment later, Mi Guo swiped her card quite casually, then picked up her shopping bag. "Xiao Tian, do you want to see?"

"I... I don't need it for now," Xiang Xiaotian waved her hand.

"No way, your dad didn't give you any pocket money? Besides, isn't Zhang the handsome guy right here?" Mi Guo smiled and winked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang remained unmoved.

"Let's go." Xiang Xiaotian quickly pulled Mi Guo along and they left the Chanel store together.

Outside the store, Xiang Xiaotian let go of his hand.

"How can you say that? Whether my boyfriend spends money or not is his business. It's none of your place to comment." As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Zhang Yang, afraid that he would get angry.

It's true that Zhang Yang is rich.

But their relationship... well, it's just...

Mi Guo's half-hearted words might not make others feel comfortable, and even if they were to pay, they might not be willing.

"Huh~ Zhang Yang didn't say anything, but you're the one who started dividing it up first." Mi Guo rolled her eyes.
