The sales assistant held the heavy black card in her hand. It didn’t feel like she was holding a card — it felt like she was holding a mountain of gold.
[Is this how rich people spend money? I’m so jealous…]
[He even tips ten thousand. Jiang Si is seriously loaded.]
[No comment…]
[Shouldn’t Jiang Si be spending this money on the female lead? Why is he spending it all on the second female lead? So unlucky.]
[You’re worrying too much. We’re here to watch whoever is interesting. As long as she’s pretty, that’s enough. The female lead is still over there playing the stubborn innocent girl among the special admissions students, with zero interaction with the male lead. What are we supposed to watch? Air?]
[Exactly. We’re lucky to have content at all. Stop being picky.]
[As long as the hoe swings well, no wall is too strong to break down. Lu Ran, hurry up! Your brother is stealing your girl~]
[Money… money-senpai, please date me…]
When Xu Jingran saw the last comment, her eyes curved into a smile.
It perfectly reflected her true feelings.
These comments were actually kind of cute.
The sales assistant couldn’t stop smiling either.
A ten-thousand tip!
Young Master Jiang truly lived up to his reputation — so generous it made her knees weak.
“Of course, Young Master Jiang! Don’t worry, we’ll deliver everything as quickly as possible. Our director will personally review the styling!”
Her voice was sweet as honey, her eyes curved like crescent moons.
The way she looked at Xu Jingran was like she was looking at a lucky cat.
No — a lucky fairy.
Xu Jingran watched as the assistant efficiently packed everything.
The soft, delicate clothes — with price tags carrying so many zeros they made her dizzy — were carefully placed into branded dust bags and gift boxes.
That one could sell for five thousand…
That one’s worth twenty thousand…
Xu Jingran did the math rapidly in her head, her smiling eyes bright and adorable.
When she turned back to Jiang Si, she lowered her head slightly, nervously twisting the soft fabric of her dress between her fingers. Her voice was small and gentle.
“Jiang Si, this is too much. I really can’t accept it…”
Inside her mind, a tiny version of herself was dancing happily, grabbing imaginary stacks of money labeled ten thousand, twenty thousand.
But on her face, she looked like a fragile little white flower — guilty and uneasy about accepting such generosity.
Jiang Si watched her lowered eyelashes flutter like butterfly wings.
Her pink lips were lightly bitten, leaving faint teeth marks that made him want to kiss them.
Xu Jingran was so easy to please — pitiful and adorable.
Just a few beautiful clothes were enough to make her this uneasy.
What kind of life had she lived before?
That useless Lu Ran — couldn’t he even provide basic material comfort for his girlfriend?
He looked at Xu Jingran with tenderness.
Stepping forward, he wrapped a large hand around her soft shoulder, feeling the warmth of her skin.
He pulled her into his arms, a faint smirk curving his lips — roguish and bold.
“I told you — if I give it to you, you accept it.”
His tone allowed no argument.
“If you ever need anything, just tell me.”
What Lu Ran couldn’t give her, he would.
One day, he would replace Lu Ran in her heart.
“Do you like jewelry?”
Jiang Si lowered his gaze slightly, his amber eyes drifting to her bare neckline.
He clicked his tongue softly. “Forget it. I’ll have someone send the new seasonal catalog to the S District villa for you to choose from.”
That way she wouldn’t have to come out and feel shy again.
Although coming out meant she could hear flattering compliments.
But she blushed so easily.
Whenever she got shy, her skin turned pink.
It made him want to take a bite, to taste—
Sweet, like a peach.
That evening.
Several low-profile luxury vans drove into the S District of Sheng Tian Academy and stopped in front of Villa No. 2.
Uniformed staff carried ribbon-tied gift boxes and garment bags printed with top luxury brand logos into the living room.
Very quickly, a small mountain of luxury goods piled up in the spacious hall.
Several wealthy young women who lived in Villa No. 2 were gathered in the living room, enjoying newly delivered cakes and desserts.
When they saw the scene, their eyes lit up.
“Wow, whose big purchase is this? Fendi, Dior, Chanel… even the hardest-to-get limited edition bags of the season!”
A girl with curly hair exclaimed as she leaned closer and carefully touched a rare leather handbag.
“It must be Bai Zhenxi or Xu Laina, right?”
Another girl with short hair spoke enviously.
“Only the two of them could get these brands to deliver new arrivals directly — and buy this much at once.”
Bai Zhenxi and Xu Laina were famously proud princesses of the S District. With top-tier family backgrounds and impeccable taste, they were the fashion trendsetters among this group of wealthy girls.
Their families ranked just below the Academy’s F5.
They were also considered the most likely candidates to marry into the F5 families.
Bai Zhenxi walked down the spiral staircase.
She wore a silk nightgown and glanced at the pile of goods, smiling reservedly.
“Oh? They arrived today? I did order some things recently. I didn’t expect them all to be delivered together.”
Xu Laina couldn’t stand her pretentious tone. She casually picked up a box containing a silk blouse and checked the label.
“D-brand private custom? Bai Zhenxi, with your family’s financial standing, I don’t think you qualify for home-delivered private couture from this brand.”
This brand was extremely exclusive — the highest luxury label under the Jiang family’s conglomerate, serving only the most elite families.
The Bai family didn’t qualify.
A crack briefly appeared in Bai Zhenxi’s composed smile as she tried to save face.
“Xu Laina, perhaps under my father’s management, the Bai family has advanced further and earned that qualification.”
The curly-haired girl immediately flattered her.
“Miss Bai has such great taste! You must be preparing for next week’s welcome gala. You’d look amazing in this!”
“Yes, yes! Only Miss Bai could truly carry these major luxury designs!”
The girls chimed in one after another, their words full of admiration and envy.
The compliments made Bai Zhenxi feel much better.
Once she got closer to those young masters of the F5, the Bai family would step into the ranks of the top elite families.
At that time, Xu Laina would no longer have the right to mock her.
Xu Laina only stood above her because of a possible marriage alliance with Xiao Si Ming.
What was there to be so arrogant about?
Bai Zhenxi sat gracefully on the sofa, covering her mouth as she smiled and gestured toward the pile of luxury goods.
“You may each choose one item as a gift from me.”
Just then, the villa door opened.
Xu Jingran hadn’t expected so many people in the living room. Her steps faltered slightly, and she gave a small wave in greeting.
She was wearing the crescent-white slip dress, with a mint-green knitted cardigan draped over her shoulders — one Jiang Si had insisted she put on. It was light and delicate.
Everyone’s gaze focused on her.
That dress she was wearing… looked familiar.
Wasn’t it D-brand private couture?
Bai Zhenxi reacted first. She looked at the dress on Xu Jingran, then at her overwhelmingly beautiful face. Her expression shifted slightly.
They all recognized her — the special-admissions student rumored on the forum to be getting close to the F5.
And she was Young Master Lu Ran’s girlfriend.
Xu Laina put down the box in her hand and looked at the luggage behind Xu Jingran.
“Xu Jingran? Are you moving in?”
The delivery supervisor stepped forward elegantly from behind.
He bowed respectfully to Xu Jingran.
“Miss Xu, the items Young Master Jiang ordered for you have all been delivered. Here is the inventory list for your confirmation.
Young Master Jiang specifically instructed that the accessories and the seasonal styling catalog will be delivered tomorrow.”
“Miss Xu?”
“Young Master Jiang bought these for her?”
“These are hers?”
Everyone stared at Xu Jingran in disbelief.
The girls who had been about to pick out gifts awkwardly withdrew their hands.
Xu Jingran nodded gently and gave a soft hum of confirmation. Her smile was sweet and gentle.
“Yes, I’m moving in.
All of these are mine. You can keep picking if you’d like.
Consider them a little housewarming gift from me.”
