In Which The System Torments The Protagonists: My Wife is My Life!

76-79

Chapter 76  - Lu Lixing the parvenu and his delicate wife (1)

After Lu Lixing finished speaking, happiness spread over the store employees' faces.

"Okay, Sir, we'll get right to it..."

"Wait!" Ji Qingqing incredulously looked at him with a gaze that questioned his sanity.  

Lu Lixing ignored Ji Qingqing's look and commanded the store employee, "You don't need to stop. Have everything wrapped up for me."

Ji Qingqing shouted at the store employees that were about to start. "Wait a second!"

After that, she hissed in a low voice to Lu Lixing, "Why are you buying so much? I can't possibly wear all that."

Lu Lixing squeezed out a few words from the gaps of his clenched teeth. "Those clothes will look good on you!"

Ji Qingqing furrowed her brow. "It doesn't matter how good they'll look. I don't want them! The ones I chose are pretty good."

There was so much clothes here. How much would it cost to buy it all?

Ji Qingqing reproachfully looked at him. People in his well-off situation didn't understand the sufferings of others. Even if his family was rich, it didn't mean that Lu Lixing could spend money like this!

"The ones you chose were all discounted stuff from past seasons." Lu Lixing kept a calm expression. "That doesn't suit you."

There was something seriously wrong with this guy. Ji Qingqing didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. She turned to leave.

Lu Lixing grabbed her wrist, took a deep breath, and compromised with Ji Qingqing. "Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't buy everything. How about I just select a few items for you?"

Ji Qingqing felt that Lu Lixing was very strange today. Why had he rushed here to buy her clothes?

"Today, you..."

"I bought a gift for grandpa, so don't I have to buy something for you too? If I don't, grandpa might complain that I don't care about you."

Ji Qingqing thought it over. His words did have some sense in them. 

"Alright."

Lu Lixing tightly held onto her wrist as he quickly scanned over the items on the clothing rack and chose the most expensive items in the latest style: four dresses, five outerwear, and two bags plus a pair of sunglasses.

His swift and decisive actions left the store employees feeling unworthy.

"Have these wrapped up!"

The store employee smiled as she brought the items he chose to the counter to ring them up.

"Wait, tell me the total cost of those items within the next minute! Otherwise, I don't want to buy them," Lu Lixing firmly said.

Lu Lixing rarely put people in such a difficult spot.

The store employee was a seasoned professional and knew that rich people would often have eccentric demands.

"... Okay, sir."

-- "Last two minutes."

The store employee frantically added up the items at the counter.

Ji Qingqing felt sweat gathering on Lu Lixing's hand, the one he was using to hold her wrist. She looked at him strangely. "Mr. Lu, are you okay?"

The barcode scanner made a sound as each item was scanned

-- "Last minute."

Lu Lixing calmly said, "It's fine."
