Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, Zhang Cheng woke up refreshed.

He was still young after all. It had been a vigorous night, but he didn’t feel tired or drained.

“You’re awake?” However, Xiang Xiang was already awake.

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, Xiang Xiang nodded repeatedly.

“Then get up and eat something,” Zhang Cheng said. His stomach was growling with hunger.

After getting up and washing up, the two of them went to the hotel’s breakfast room.

Yesterday, Zhang Cheng and Xiang Xiang had stayed in a chain hotel. It was not bad. At least, the living environment and the corresponding food service were good.

They looked at the breakfast provided in the breakfast room.

Zhang Cheng came back with a plate.

Some dim sum, a bowl of soybean milk, a bowl of rice porridge, a few plates of pickled vegetables, and of course, the essential sesame paste.

Xiangxiang sat in her seat as Zhang Cheng placed the plates in front of her. Although she had previously said that she would do the servicing, Zhang Cheng had refused.

She didn’t even find the room to interfere in the setting up of the dishes.

Zhang Cheng had only wanted to find some temporary warmth after a long drought in his desolate life. But after Xiangxiang’s wholehearted service yesterday, he couldn’t help but have some thoughts about the long-term.

After all, Zhang Cheng had enjoyed Xiang Xiang’s gentleness. Xiang Xiang was completely dominated by Zhang Cheng. Be it submission or positions, she had been most cooperative.

This was something that Zhang Cheng had never enjoyed with his ex-girlfriend. After all, she seemed lukewarm. She never cared about Zhang Cheng’s feelings at all.

It was also because Zhang Cheng had just experienced the joy of spending money. If it was a rich second generation or some other powerful figure, even the most passionate of those men would only take such things for granted. It was basically impossible for their hearts to be touched.

“Eat it. Is it not to your liking? Do you want anything else?” Zhang Cheng picked up his chopsticks. When Xiang Xiang did not move, he could not help but ask.

Xiang Xiang felt a little embarrassed. She felt that Zhang Cheng was too good for her.

Unfortunately, it was as expected of sincere, loyal partners. It was only because Zhang Cheng had given her 20,000 yuan yesterday that Xiang Xiang felt far indebted than how it would have been.

“No need. It’s very delicious,” said Xiang Xiang. She had glanced at the menu just now. After a rough estimation, she knew that this seemingly simple meal in front of her was actually 300 to 400 yuan, which was already her food expenses for a week.

When the dim sum entered his mouth, Zhang Cheng’s eyes flashed with surprise.

He had eaten this kind of breakfast more than once, but this time, be it the pork inside or the ingredients, was all very fragrant. With the sesame sauce used for the dipping sauce, the fragrance was more mellow than usual.

It was simply delicious.

At least in the future, if he ever found himself at a loss of what to eat for breakfast, he should be able to make do with a meal here.

Xiang Xiang also ate a mouthful of the dim sum, and her eyes revealed a look of surprise. It was obvious that she had rarely eaten such delicious food.

“After dinner, I’ll buy you a few sets of clothes,” Zhang Cheng said.

Xiang Xiang was stunned when she heard this, and then she nodded obediently.

After dinner, Zhang Cheng brought Xiang Xiang to the center of the city.

There were many well-known international brands here, especially women’s clothing. It was a feast for the eyes.

After all, the easiest money to earn was women’s money. Be it cosmetics, clothes, shoes, purses, or some health care products, no matter how expensive they were, women would not frown when they bought them.

Xiang Xiang was an ordinary girl. Even though she had seen the lives of rich people on the internet and had heard about how rich people spent money in one go, she had never experienced such an experience.

When she arrived at such a busy road section, she suddenly felt her legs go soft and could not help but cling on to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng glanced at Xiang Xiang and knew that she was a little nervous.

In fact, if it was like before when he had no money, Zhang Cheng wouldn’t have come here at all. Even if he did, he would have been as nervous as Xiang Xiang.

The pricetags of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands simply made regular people flee for their lives.

Poverty was unpleasant.

“Do you have any favorite brands?” Zhang Cheng asked.

Xiang Xiang hurriedly shook her head when she heard this. Although her clothes and shoes were not cheap, the most expensive ones were only worth a few thousand.

After all, she had been another struggling girl in a big city just not long ago. Her monthly income was three thousand or five thousand.

Zhang Cheng also scratched his head when he heard this. He did not know clothing brands either. Zhang Cheng had always sought comfort and practicality over luxury. As for the style and brand of the clothes, what was the point?

Zhang Cheng had been raised with this idea. Now that he had some money, and he could foresee that he could be even richer in the future, he still thought the same.

Clothes first needed to be comfortable to wear, and then it had to be be clean and neat. That was all it needed to fulfill.

As for the brand and style, they were all unnecessary. Moreover, as long as one was looking for something stylistic, they often failed to provide as much comfort.

However, in terms of women’s clothing, so much R&D had been put into that industry that they had achieved a balance of style and comfort.

They were vastly different from men’s utilitarian clothes. The role of women’s clothing was about the same as the armor of soldiers.

A set of suitable clothes, coupled with makeup and other aspects, could greatly enhance a woman’s beauty, temperament, and so on. It could even be raised by one or even several levels.

It was also because of this that women would spend so much on dressing up. After all, who would do something that had no effect?

Were women brainless?

What a joke.

So after thinking about it, Zhang Cheng did not bring Xiang Xiang to any practical stores. Instead, he bought some sportswear, outdoor wear, and the like for himself. He went straight to a relatively well-known Chinese brand of women’s clothing.

“Welcome to Xingcan.” The attendant, who was quite good-looking and even taller than Xiang Xiang, bowed respectfully when Zhang Cheng brought Xiang Xiang to the door.

Although this kind of welcome would make some people feel very comfortable, respected, and almost feel like an elite, it would also make others feel disgusted. However, it was also impossible to stay out of such a lavish life. This was because all foreign brand stores did this. If you didn’t do it, you might lose potential customers.

At least, Zhang Cheng frowned slightly and felt a little repulsed.

After all, he was just buying something. Why did they have to do this?

However, he also knew that she was just doing her job, so he couldn’t criticize her.

He walked into the shop.

Under the warm light, the women’s clothes on display in the shop looked very beautiful and classy.

Even Zhang Cheng’s untrained eyes found them appealing.

“Help my girlfriend with a few sets of autumn clothes,” Zhang Cheng said directly to the salesperson who came up to him.

“Okay.” The waiter’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly agreed..
