The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

Although Lin Rui was pained by the expense, Chen Erbao's words filled her with a sweet warmth, and she couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

The two of them left the clothing store and headed straight for the luxury goods shops on the second floor.

A smiling sales associate welcomed them in and began introducing the various bags on the shelves.

The saying goes that a new bag cures all ills. Even an innocent and pure young woman like Lin Rui found herself captivated by the array of designer bags, unable to look away.

After she had carefully made her selections, the delighted sales associate took three bags to the front counter for payment.

Chen Erbao wasn't interested in any of this. Bored, he sat on a stool and looked around, his gaze lingering on the women passing by.

Black stockings, white stockings, hip-hugging skirts, schoolgirl-style outfits…

He was dazzled by the wide variety of fashions.

Although the woman by his side was an absolute stunner, Chen Erbao couldn't break his habit of checking out other women.

'Maybe this is just a common flaw in all men…'

After watching for a while, Chen Erbao didn't find a single woman who could compare to Lin Rui's beauty. He retracted his gaze and let it fall upon a necklace in the store's glass display case.

A blue ladies' necklace caught his eye.

The necklace was beautiful. Its delicate chain formed a spiral with a grooved alloy setting in the center, which held a sky-blue gemstone that glittered under the lights.

Chen Erbao thought that a necklace like this would look stunning against Lin Rui's fair collarbones.

He stood up and walked to the counter, pointing at the necklace.

"Let me take a look at that necklace!"

The sales associate in charge of jewelry had already noticed the free-spending Lin Rui and Chen Erbao. Seeing Chen Erbao approach, she was secretly ecstatic. With a radiant smile, she said, "Of course, sir. Please wait a moment."

She hurried behind the counter and carefully brought out the necklace on a tray.

Chen Erbao felt the texture of the necklace. It seemed decent enough. He then placed it in his palm to examine it more closely and nodded in satisfaction.

Lin Rui, having changed her clothes, now came to Chen Erbao's side.

Her gaze was immediately drawn to the necklace in Chen Erbao's hand, and she stared at it intently.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Chen Erbao smiled and held up the necklace. "Xiaorui, it would look beautiful on you. Here, try it on!"

Lin Rui really wanted to, but she secretly glanced at the price tag below: over 150,000…

She immediately hesitated. "Brother Er Bao, isn't this too expensive?"

"It's not expensive, just a small sum. Try it on. If you like it, we'll buy it!"

To Chen Erbao, 150,000 was indeed a small sum, not even worth a second thought.

As Lin Rui watched with anticipation, Chen Erbao lifted her long hair and personally put the necklace on for her.

Lin Rui's skin was fair to begin with, and after days of Chen Erbao's meticulous "tending," it appeared even more delicate and smooth. The blue gemstone rested just above the mysterious valley of her cleavage, perfectly complementing her delicate collarbones. It was as if the necklace was made just for her!

The sales associate also chimed in with a timely exclamation of awe, "Miss, this necklace is perfect for you! Your skin is so lovely…"

A sales associate's job, after all, is to make the customer happy.

Especially with customers like Chen Erbao who bring a woman shopping. As long as you keep the woman happy, the man will naturally open his wallet.

Although Lin Rui knew the woman was just flattering her, she was still happy to hear it.

But she still thought it was a bit expensive…

Even though Chen Erbao was rich now, the spending habits of the women around him hadn't caught up.

After decades of using cheap products that cost tens or hundreds, suddenly buying a piece of jewelry worth over a hundred thousand was something they naturally couldn't get used to.

Chen Erbao saw how much Lin Rui loved it and declared with a wave of his hand, "We'll take it!"

The ecstatic sales associate helped Lin Rui take off the necklace and was about to go wrap it up.

"Darling, that necklace is so pretty! I want it too!"

A cloyingly sweet voice suddenly came from behind the three of them.

Chen Erbao, Lin Rui, and the sales associate all turned to look.

A heavily made-up woman was leaning against a man with dyed-yellow hair. She was rubbing her curvaceous body against his arm while pointing at the necklace in the associate's hand and wheedling him.

The woman wasn't bad-looking, but her makeup was too heavy, and she gave off a cheap, tawdry vibe.

As for Huangmao, his looks were average, but his clothes were all designer brands. The watch on his wrist was flashy and obviously expensive, and the car key hanging from his waist—bearing the logo of a raging bull—further showcased his considerable wealth.

Hearing the woman's words, Huangmao burst out laughing. "Don't worry, I'll buy you whatever you want. This whole mall belongs to my brother, so pick whatever you like!"

Chen Erbao and Lin Rui heard him too, and their brows furrowed slightly.

They were just about to pay. Where did this interloper come from?

The sales associate hesitated as well. She was especially puzzled when she heard him claim the mall belonged to his brother.

After all, Da Wan was a national chain, and the Wang Family's name was known throughout the entire country.

'Could it be…'

Despite her doubts, the sales associate maintained her professionalism. With a polite smile, she said to Huangmao, "Sir, I do apologize, but this necklace has already been purchased by this gentleman. Perhaps you'd like to look at something else?"

Regardless of whether Huangmao's brother was truly the famous Young Master Wang, they were a top international brand and had a reputation to uphold.

Since they had already agreed to sell it to Chen Erbao, they couldn't go back on their word and sell it to someone else.

But upon hearing this, Huangmao flew into a rage. "Do you know who I am? I want this necklace today! Tell that other guy to get lost!"

So arrogant!

Displeasure flickered in Chen Erbao's eyes. 'Every time I go out, I run into one of these arrogant, domineering rich kids!'

He suppressed his annoyance and said coolly, "Buddy, things work on a first-come, first-served basis. We've already picked this one, so you should choose something else."

"Fuck! Who the hell do you think you are? There's nothing that I, Wang Xiaohai, want that I can't get! What fucking 'first come, first served'? You're gonna pull that shit on me in my own family's store?"

Chen Erbao was so angry he laughed. He looked at the sales associate. "You tell me. Who are you selling this to?"

The sales associate felt a massive headache coming on. She looked at Wang Xiaohai, completely flustered.

"Sir, I'm truly sorry, but this gentleman has already decided to buy it…"

"Has he paid yet?"

"Not yet, but…"

Wang Xiaohai didn't wait for the associate to finish. He swaggered over and pointed at Chen Erbao. "He hasn't paid, so what makes you say it's yours? Now get the fuck out before I get angry. I'll have you thrown in the river tonight!"

"Heh!"

Chen Erbao stared at him coldly and sighed internally.

'I'm on a tight schedule. I really don't want to waste my breath on an idiot like this.'

"Scram!"

The sudden roar stunned Wang Xiaohai for a moment, but then he burst out laughing.

"HAHAHA… Fine, you little shit! I told you to leave and you wouldn't, right?"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Chen Erbao by the neck.
