After the "heart-to-heart sister" session ended.
Lin Nanxi insisted on treating Chu Tianqing and Shen Xinglan to a big meal plus shopping as thanks.
Chu Tianqing sighed inwardly—this was a true heiress for you, showing gratitude by throwing money at people.
So refreshingly straightforward. She loved it.
She had long taken a dislike to the clothes and shoes in the original owner's wardrobe, but was stuck without money to replace them.
Chu Tianqing agreed readily: "Sure, let the great-niece treat us then."
Lin Nanxi beamed, her eyes curving like crescents: "I'm just sharing the blessings—anyway, I'm swiping my little uncle's supplementary card, and little uncle's money is little auntie's money."
Chu Tianqing had a revelation: "Pfft, so spending my husband's money is only natural for me, right?"
"Of course it is." Lin Nanxi nodded innocently.
The three of them rode in a comfortable business van to the most luxurious shopping center in the capital.
They'd had brunch at eleven in the morning, so they weren't hungry now and unanimously decided to shop first.
Just as they stepped into the shopping center—
"Ladies, would you like to check out our pop-up store~"
A flyer was handed to Chu Tianqing.
"Woman Sugar? Is that some newly opened candy store?" Chu Tianqing didn't look closely.
Shen Xinglan looked puzzled: "Candy only for women? How odd."
Leave it to Lin Nanxi to have a natural gift.
Of the three, only she saw through it at a glance—
"Little auntie, Sister Lanlan, it's a pop-up store for women's toys and adult products. Let's go check it out?"
Lin Nanxi, whose mind had been freed by her two heart-to-heart sisters, was like a little gosling let loose, pulling Chu Tianqing with her left hand and Shen Xinglan with her right as she trotted over.
The moment they walked in, Chu Tianqing's eyes couldn't take it all in—there was simply too much to see.
As expected of an adult products store set in a restricted-genre novel, the shop didn't just display women's adult toys.
No—it had everything: women's, men's, male-female, female-male, female-female, and male-male DIY pleasure products, so many varieties it was dizzying.
The products were so novel and bizarre that one couldn't help but marvel at the imagination behind them.
Chu Tianqing poked at this one, touched that one, full of curiosity.
She spotted something rare and was about to call her bestie and great-niece over to look.
Lin Nanxi was holding something in her hand, and suddenly sidled up mysteriously, whispering: "Little auntie, is that aspect between you and little uncle harmonious?"
Chu Tianqing's hand tightened, and the jelly-textured little toy in her grip instantly squished out of shape.
She reacted quickly, mentally establishing a stereotypical older-husband-younger-wife persona for Lin Sinian and herself within three seconds.
"It's… just so-so." Chu Tianqing feigned calm.
She didn't want Lin Nanxi to think she was inexperienced.
After all, just this morning Chu Tianqing had confidently given her great-niece a sex education lesson.
If she now admitted to having zero sexual experience, her great-niece would definitely feel like the second-to-last student explaining problems to the last-place student!
Chu Tianqing was too proud to lose face like that.
"Little auntie, so my little uncle is actually not great in that department? You've been wronged…"
Lin Nanxi bit her lower lip, feeling even more sorry for her little auntie.
Chu Tianqing waved her hand: "Your little uncle is ten years older than me after all—he's thirty-one now, and I'm only twenty-one. They say men are useless past twenty-five, so it's only normal."
Shen Xinglan happened to wander over and overheard Chu Tianqing's assessment. She perked up with interest and stopped beside them.
Lin Nanxi's eyes were clear and innocent as she held out the item in her hand like offering a treasure.
"Little auntie, I just heard the saleslady explain that this one can be used by couples together and helps improve marital intimacy. I want to give you and little uncle a wedding gift."
Chu Tianqing looked at the little toy in her hand: ?
Wasn't her great-niece a little too filial??
Lin Nanxi explained seriously: "The saleslady said it has multiple modes, a 30-meter remote control range, a couple's design, fits any size, super-long battery life, and comes with outdoor wearable accessories…"
Chu Tianqing: Remote control? Super-long?? Outdoor??
Lin Nanxi tilted her head: "What color does little auntie like? This pearl white is clean, and there's also avocado green, Morandi pink…"
"She likes the avocado green one." Shen Xinglan made the choice for Chu Tianqing, adding: "Try it with your husband later and tell me if it works well. I'm getting married soon too—since it's a sexless marriage anyway, I'll buy one if it's good."
Lin Nanxi's eyes went wide: "Ah? Sister Lanlan is getting married too? Then I'll gift you one as well!"
Chu Tianqing, who had shrunk into a ball of cowardice at the critical moment: Bestie? You're not right!
Lin Nanxi swiped her card and bought both Chu Tianqing and Shen Xinglan a top-tier couple's set each.
The young miss also picked out several solo toys for herself.
Just at that adult products store alone, she spent over eight thousand yuan.
Lin Nanxi swiped her card without so much as blinking.
Afterward, the little rich girl Lin Nanxi took Chu Tianqing and Shen Xinglan to various luxury stores to buy clothes, shoes, and accessories.
The eighteen-year-old had impeccable taste and immediately launched into a "Miracle Qingqing" and "Miracle Lanlan" dress-up game on the spot.
Adding plenty of new autumn pieces for her little auntie and Sister Lanlan.
After leaving the high-end boutiques, the shopping concierge had already sent their numerous purchases to the distribution center, to be delivered to the villa later in the evening.
Chu Tianqing made a small request: "Great-niece, I want to go check out Uniqlo, buy some pure cotton pajamas, underwear, and panties."
"But…" Lin Nanxi hesitated, her voice soft and gentle, "Cheap stuff like Uniqlo—can the quality really be any good? If Auntie wants pajamas, let's go to La Perla and Olivia von Halle to get a few silk sets."
Chu Tianqing weakly argued for herself: "I still prefer cheap Uniqlo that gets misshapen collars after one wash—it feels really comfortable to sleep in. Silk always feels too slippery, I'm not used to it…"
"Then you'll have to get used to it, Auntie. Silk is nourishing for the skin and good for it—listen to me." Lin Nanxi gave her no chance to browse Uniqlo, pulling her along as she turned away. "If you're buying underwear, I recommend Bordelle and La Perla—sexy and comfortable."
Before long, Chu Tianqing had acquired a pile of sexy, revealing, and utterly unwearable-outside-the-house expensive pajamas, loungewear, and undergarments.
While the little rich girl was swiping her card, Chu Tianqing frantically signaled Shen Xinglan with her eyes to complain: "Babe, are these panties over 2000 yuan made of gold?!"
Shen Xinglan was exceptionally calm: "Well, it's your husband's money being spent. Even if they were made of gold, panties are panties—just wear them."
"Gotta say, our great-niece looks kind of cool when she's swiping the card."
Chu Tianqing snuck a glance at Lin Nanxi, who already had a bit of a young CEO vibe about her.
Come to think of it, both Lin Nanxi's little uncle and her cousin uncle were powerful CEOs with commanding auras—didn't they say a niece takes after her uncles?
Shen Xinglan nodded: "If she hadn't been forcibly shoved into the restricted-genre novel's female lead setup with that pure-and-innocent persona, she would definitely grow into an excellent female CEO in the future."
"It's not too late now—we can help her?" Chu Tianqing looked at her best friend.
Shen Xinglan said calmly: "We can offer positive guidance; the rest is up to her own fate."
After the shopping frenzy, all three were hungry.
Lin Nanxi took them to a seven-star seafood and wagyu yakiniku buffet.
It satisfied everyone in one stop: Chu Tianqing's craving for sushi and sashimi, Shen Xinglan's desire for hotpot, and Lin Nanxi's want for everything—including wagyu barbecue.
After dinner, Lin Nanxi once again casually swiped her little uncle's supplementary card.
Lin Nanxi didn't chat much with her little uncle on WeChat—they usually communicated by phone.
When she was little, her uncle taught her to keep accounts and manage money, so his WeChat had habitually become her ledger notebook.
On the way home, Lin Nanxi sat in the car, opened the chat window with her little uncle, and started recording expenses.
Besides logging the amounts and purposes, Lin Nanxi sometimes added cute little mood notes.
Renji Hospital, VIP ward.
Assistant Sun felt that both he and Chairman Lin had an exceptionally difficult Saturday.
Chairman Lin had barely eaten anything today besides a bit of water, and his mood looked far from pleasant.
Having worked beside him for so long, Assistant Sun was used to the ruthless, cold-faced, seemingly untouchable Lin Sinian—a man whom nothing in this world could restrain.
The amnesiac Lin Sinian was a stark contrast—he exuded a kind of cold-faced adorableness, a dazed charm.
Especially when interacting with his new wife, Assistant Sun felt his boss had become softer.
Unfortunately, Lin Sinian's softness was reserved solely for Chu Tianqing.
Today, with Chu Tianqing absent, Lin Sinian was noticeably moody and unpredictable.
Assistant Sun brought over a glass of warm water: "Some water, Chairman Lin?"
"No, thank you." Lin Sinian looked up coldly.
Having waited all Saturday without his "trash-delivering" young wife showing up, he irritably closed his book.
Chu Tianqing was a full ten years younger than him—of course, a college student would have a vibrant, colorful weekend life.
Lin Sinian suddenly found it absurd—what exactly was he expecting?
Next week, he would tell her she no longer needed to come.
"Chairman Lin's dinner." A nurse delivered his special meal.
"Thank you." Assistant Sun set the tray aside and was just setting up the bedside table.
Lin Sinian turned his head away: "Take it away. No appetite."
"Chairman Lin, please eat a little. If you really have no appetite, how about some soup?" Assistant Sun thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth. "Today there's the morel mushroom chicken soup that Mrs. Lin loves—she said last time it was very refreshing and drank your untouched portion. How about a taste?"
Lin Sinian leaned back against the cushion and closed his eyes: "Leave it."
Assistant Sun arranged the meal, then stepped aside to handle work.
After a while, Assistant Sun heard the faint clink of a spoon against the soup bowl.
Glancing up, he saw Lin Sinian slowly sipping half a bowl of chicken soup.
Assistant Sun crossed himself—Jesus and his great-grandmother bless us. If the missus just stayed away for two days on the weekend, and during the National Day holiday she stayed away for seven days, Chairman Lin might starve to death without a single bite.
Lin Sinian's personal phone kept vibrating.
Having been in a bad mood all day, he didn't even glance at it.
Perhaps it was because the warm soup had soothed his stomach discomfort that he picked up his phone and unlocked the screen.
What came into view was a long string of credit card notifications and the purchase records sent by his niece.
[Expense: 68,888 yuan for buying Little Aunt five sets of silk slip dresses, five lace tie-up nightgowns, several pearl mesh bras, bell-pendant tie-up bras, several matching panties…]
[Yeah! Successfully stopped Little Aunt from buying those ugly pajamas and underwear from Uniqlo! Little Aunt has such a great figure and is so beautiful—she can't be buried by Uniqlo!]
[Expense: 8,300 yuan for a 30-meter remote-controlled couple's toy for two, plus outdoor accessories]
[(′) A wedding gift for Little Aunt and Little Uncle]
[Little Aunt doesn't seem too satisfied with Little Uncle in that department?]
[ε=(′ο｀*))), after all, Little Uncle is ten years older than her. Little Aunt said men are past their prime after twenty-five. Hope the gift I sent can improve their relationship.]
Lin Sinian: ??
