Chapter 147: Chapter 142: The Terrifying Purchasing Power of Women (Third Update)"Studying is important, but you shouldn’t wear yourself out. It’s the weekend today, just stay home and rest." An Yan slightly frowned, her tone containing a hint of reproach, upset that Bai Yan wasn’t taking good care of himself. "Okay, will do." Bai Yan responded. He stealthily caught An Xiaowan’s foot that she was sneakily stretching towards him. "Uh." An Xiaowan dared not yell out, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness, and her expression carried a touch of childish allure as she glared at Bai Yan. "Xiao Wan, are you feeling unwell too?" An Yan looked at An Xiaowan. "I didn’t sleep well last night; I’ve got a bit of a stiff neck." An Xiaowan said, her pretty face blushing and her delicate frame trembling slightly. Could a stiff neck be this serious? It looks more like she has a fever. An Yan slightly frowned, puzzled as she watched An Xiaowan. Little girl, this is the price for your mischief, provoking your Brother Yan. Bai Yan smiled subtly, pretending to be oblivious as he lowered his head to eat. An Xiaowan’s heart fluttered, nearly losing her grip on the bowl and chopsticks in her hands. This silly girl didn’t dare let An Yan notice anything unusual and had to forcibly keep herself upright, struggling not to collapse at the dining table. "Xiao Wan, do you have a cold?" An Yan’s beautiful eyes showed a trace of concern as she touched An Xiaowan’s burning cheeks. Boiling hot. "Xiao Wan, you have a fever!" An Yan became extremely anxious. A hint of a smile appeared on Bai Yan’s lips. An Xiaowan, annoyed, glared at him and whispered to An Yan, "Sister, I’m fine, this isn’t a fever." "Silly girl, you don’t even know if you have a fever or not. With this heat, you need medicine!" An Yan felt somewhat helpless towards An Xiaowan, then turned to Bai Yan, "Bai Yan, go to my room and bring some cold medicine for Xiao Wan." "Okay, I’ll go right now." Bai Yan stood up and walked into An Yan’s room. "Sister, I really don’t have a cold." An Xiaowan cooed. "Stop being naughty; just sit still and wait until after you take the medicine!" An Yan glared at An Xiaowan. An Yan’s room emitted a faint fragrance, her personal scent. The headboard had a HelloKitty picture frame holding photos of two beautiful girls hugging and smiling sweetly. Bai Yan lowered his head and saw some small clothes scattered on the pink big bed. "Fuck, this is... explosive, isn’t it?" Bai Yan muttered under his breath as he searched the wardrobe and found the 999 Cold Remedy. He grabbed a pack and quickly left An Yan’s boudoir. Outside the dining room, An Yan saw Bai Yan with a strange expression coming out of her room, causing her face to blush fiercely. She had been so flustered that she forgot about many of her personal clothes still lying around, unchecked. I’m so embarrassed, this damn man must have seen everything. An Xiaowan, seeing An Yan’s blushing face, playfully chuckled, "Sister, your face is so red too. Do you also have a cold?" "Girl, still joking about your sister..." An Yan gave An Xiaowan a glare, stood up, put on her shoes, took her bag, and left. "It’s getting late, I’m off to work. You two rest well at home." An Yan, unable to face Bai Yan’s peculiar gaze, simply used work as an excuse to flee. As soon as An Yan left, An Xiaowan immediately jumped off the table and playfully threw herself into Bai Yan’s arms, "Brother Yan, you big bully! How could you treat Xiao Wan like this!" S~eaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This....." Bai Yan held An Xiaowan with one arm, and with the other, he held the already prepared cold medicine, his face bitter with a smile. "Xiao Wan, be good, come on, take the medicine." "Xiao Wan doesn’t have a cold at all! It’s all because Brother Yan bullied me and almost let sister find out." "Silly girl, it was your mischief first. Brother Yan hasn’t bullied you." Bai Yan affectionately pinched An Xiaowan’s cute nose. An Xiaowan blushed, her little nose wrinkled in dissatisfaction, "I don’t care, I won’t take the medicine, Brother Yan has to find a way to compensate for the pain Xiao Wan’s heart endured." "Oh? So what does Xiao Wan want Brother Yan to do to compensate?" "Um~ Punish Brother Yan to go shopping with me." "Alright, then I’ll go shopping with Xiao Wan today." Bai Yan readily agreed. An Xiaowan felt warmth in her heart seeing Bai Yan’s straightforward response. She lowered her head and spoke softly, "Brother Yan, you seem very busy lately... How about you rest at home today, and we can go shopping another day?" "Those things are trivial for me. How about we sneak out shopping today, and not tell your sister, what do you say?" Bai Yan chuckled. Apart from looking after the business, Bai Yan’s main focus was on preparing to re-enter the Abyss to cultivate a large number of Demon Army Soldiers. Bai Yan’s own strength was steadily increasing, and he held firm control over the development of Wanyan Company. "Alright, Brother Yan, you are so good to Xiao Wan." An Xiaowan’s eyes curved into beautiful crescents as she smiled, looking absolutely beautiful. An Xiaowan went back to her room to change into a cute outfit, tying her normally draped hair into a side ponytail, which was playful yet carried the unique charm of a young woman. Bai Yan quickly got ready and then left the house with An Xiaowan. Haoyi Mall in HZ city, known for its high-end luxury brands, has the highest prices and most comprehensive selection in the city, drawing a clientele of the wealthiest and most prestigious. Bai Yan would not have ventured into Haoyi Mall in HZ city if not for An Xiaowan and probably would never do so in his life. Of course, there’s no doubt about Bai Yan’s financial capability; it’s just that he doesn’t focus on these things, highlighting the fundamental difference in consumption outlook between men and women. An Xiaowan, holding Bai Yan’s hand, was cheerful and delighted like a bellbird. She said she wanted Bai Yan to accompany her shopping, but in reality, she led him through men’s clothing stores. Yes! An Xiaowan’s purpose in taking Bai Yan shopping was to buy him clothes! At the Zegna boutique on the second floor of Haoyi Mall. "Miss, please pack up this jacket for me, I’ll take it!" An Xiaowan pointed to a blue jacket. She loved the jacket after seeing Bai Yan try it on. Bai Yan was like a natural model; no matter what he wore, he exuded a mesmerizing and unique aura. The Zegna brand isn’t extremely high-end, but its draw lies in its trendy tailoring and design concepts and comprehensive range of clothing. Just in this store alone, An Xiaowan spent over one hundred thousand for Bai Yan. Bai Yan, carrying large and small shopping bags behind An Xiaowan, wore a smile full of affection. As long as An Xiaowan was happy, he was willing to spend any amount. "Alright." The saleslady responded cheerfully, packing the clothes while stealthily observing Bai Yan and An Xiaowan. Although the man looked somewhat handsome, his attire and appearance were quite ordinary, but his demeanor was decent. The girl beside him, however, resembled a princess with a cute yet noble demeanor, and her appearance and figure were top-notch beauties. Such a pair naturally attracted attention from others. An Xiaowan’s spending power was evident, having already consumed a significant amount, so naturally, the saleslady wouldn’t make any unpleasant remarks. Just as the saleslady was happily packing the clothes, another man and woman walked into the store. The man was in his twenties, around Bai Yan’s age, young and fairly handsome. The woman’s appearance, however, was less pleasant. She appeared to be around forty years old, close to 200 pounds, with her body almost tumbling over, adorned with gold necklaces and rings, almost as if she had "I am a rich woman" labels on her face. The man pleasingly joked with the affluent woman, whose face wore a nauseating smile, her obese palms covering her bright red lips as she laughed, her body trembling with fat in a seductive manner. It was as if a lump of fat had turned into a seductress! Bai Yan couldn’t help but shudder and quickly looked away. He feared that if he looked any longer, he might have nightmares at night. Such grotesque creatures were rare in the world and better left unseen! "Brother Yan, try this one on." An Xiaowan pointed to a black suit. Suits are formal attire for modern men, worn not only on formal occasions but also at weddings. An Xiaowan had her own little thoughts and was eager to see what Bai Yan would look like in a suit. "Xiao Wan, we’ve already bought quite a bit, maybe we should stop?" Bai Yan was somewhat helpless; the bags in his hands weighed over ten pounds! He had never imagined that a woman’s purchasing power could be so terrifying! "Brother Yan, try it on for Wan Er to see, Wan Er wants to see." An Xiaowan clung to Bai Yan’s arm coquettishly. Her sweet girlish voice rang in his ear, her full bosom pressing firmly against his arm, momentarily distracting Bai Yan. "Alright, I’ll try it on." Bai Yan said indulgently. The saleslady was about to take down the suit when the young man who had just entered the store suddenly spoke up, "Wait, we’d like to try this suit too." Bai Yan turned his head discontentedly, the wealthy woman’s companion now smiling at them. The man’s eyes lingered on An Xiaowan with a fleeting trace of greed. From his observation, An Xiaowan had to be wealthy. As for Bai Yan, who dressed quite ordinarily, he barely glanced before dismissing him. Bai Yan frowned; he could sense the greed in this man’s gaze towards An Xiaowan.
