"Hello, your total is 28,600."
"Huh?" Lu Qingyue panicked instantly, her hand tightening around her bank card which only held 10,000 yuan.
She glanced at the bill, she had been so focused on picking things out that she hadn't even looked at the prices.
Now she saw that several pieces of clothing cost over a thousand yuan each.
Should she return them?
But these items were for Shen Xiao, he looked so handsome in them, and he had said himself that he liked them.
She hadn't expected them to be this expensive.
What was she going to do? She had promised to take Shen Xiao out, but she had already run out of money before they even reached the groceries.
The cashier politely asked again, "Hello, will you be scanning a code or paying by card?"
"Card," Shen Xiao said, handing over a card.
"NO…"
"Wait a second."
As they left the store, Shen Xiao slipped a bank card and the promissory note book to Lu Qingyue.
"This card has a balance of 100,000. Want to borrow it?"
"Borrowing!"
'We already agreed I'm paying today, so what if I don't have enough? It's fine, I'll just have a blast and shop to my heart's content today! I have to make sure Shen Xiao has a happy day, an opportunity like this won't come again, I absolutely cannot waste it.'
"Just so you know, the repayment period might be longer this time, but I'll charge a higher interest rate..."
"No problem, I can write for as many years as you want." I don't even need to pay it back, because...
Ding! Gained Lu Qingyue's support, Fate Ticket +100.
Thanks to the lottery tickets you're giving me, I've already made back my investment several hundred times over, Shen Xiao thought.
As expected, the Empress being in a good mood makes gathering tickets so much faster, this efficiency in becoming stronger is truly like a cow riding a rocket...
...
Too much luggage?
He could put it directly into storage, carrying tons of bags really ruins the shopping experience. After the mall, it was time for the supermarket, time to buy daily necessities for the mission.
Daily necessities were followed by all sorts of meat, eggs, bread, snacks, dried fruits, and various drinks and treats.
This should be enough for half a month at most.
But Lu Qingyue wanted to buy even more, a vast variety of items, so she could cook whatever Shen Xiao wanted to eat.
Shen Xiao had said the storage space had a "stop-start" function, so the food inside wouldn't rot, even vegetables kept there for a year would stay fresh.
So she didn't hold back, buying as much as possible so Shen Xiao wouldn't go hungry.
She bought everything, eyeing every stall and picking up whatever she saw.
Even expensive items were bought without hesitation, she was going to splurge for just this one day.
The chance for a private date with Shen Xiao would be rare in the future, she wanted to create beautiful memories.
The shopping cart was overflowing.
At the checkout, Lu Qingyue felt a twinge of fear, she hadn't realized she could spend over 100,000 yuan in a single supermarket trip.
She hadn't realized she was so extravagant, she had truly gotten carried away with a bit of money.
Even the second 100,000 yuan she borrowed from Shen Xiao wasn't enough, money truly flies!
I only bought a little food and drink, and it's all gone.
No, I bought too much. I feel like I'll definitely become a wasteful wife when we get married, Shen Xiao surely won't like someone like me…
.... Shen Xiao watched from the side with a smirk.
Sure enough, all women love spending money, even the Empress is no exception.
It's okay if you're reluctant to shop, I'll just coax you into it.
I, Shen Xiao, have plenty of money.
As long as you're happy, I'm satisfied.
"Yes!"
'Lu Qingyue is happy when she spends money, and when she's happy, I make money! Why not? Spend it, spend freely! Spend all 300 million I have, and I won't even blink! Keep thinking, keep coaxing Lu Qingyue to shop. Don't worry about whether the items are useful or not, just let her shop as much as she wants!'
Passing a toy store, Shen Xiao saw Lu Qingyue looking at a large white teddy bear and said, "This toy is so cute. It must be comfortable to hug and sleep with. Let's buy one."
"NO."
"You promised to have fun today, not to save money! Are you going to break your promise?!"
"Okay, I'll buy it, whatever you say."
"Since you've bought one, why not buy even more? How about you buy every toy in this store? Then you can sleep surrounded by toys."
"That's not a good idea, it's too many."
"It's fine, you'll get a discount if you buy more, it's a great deal."
Under Shen Xiao's coaxing, Lu Qingyue thought it made sense, buying more would indeed save a lot of money.
Buying in bulk was cheaper than buying just one, so Lu Qingyue borrowed money again and bought the entire toy store.
She truly loved every toy inside.
Her biggest dream as a child was to buy a giant polar bear plush to hug and sleep with.
She never imagined she would buy so many, it would last for a hundred years.
Sure enough, the shop owner immediately gave a 30% discount after hearing that, and even threw in some doll stands for free.
Wait, did I just borrow money from Shen Xiao again...?
It's okay, I've already spent so much.
Shen Xiao already knows that marrying me would make me a wasteful wife.
Since he already knows, I don't care.
I'm going all out today!
Besides, there's no future with Shen Xiao.
We're only having fun for one day, so of course I should fulfill his wishes.
Buy it!
If Shen Xiao is happy, I'm happy too.
I don't care about anything else!
Ding!
[Gained Lu Qingyue's support, Fate Ticket +100!]
The notification sounded again, and Shen Xiao's mood became even more cheerful.
…
By midday, they had wandered through various shopping centers, looking at clothes, daily necessities, food, and so on.
Worried about running out of food, they also visited various fruit and vegetable markets, fresh meat markets, and seafood markets.
They spent a total of one million dollars.
Anyone who knew would think the two were going on a two-week mission in the wilderness, anyone who didn't would think they were hoarding supplies for a natural disaster.
The sky grew dim, and the streets were filled with various food stalls.
Roasted gluten, stinky tofu, fried yogurt…
Shen Xiao had never seen Lu Qingyue eat that much before. Girls really do have low resistance to food.
But why are you buying so many things for me?
I can't eat anymore! Looking at the squid skewer offered to his mouth, Shen Xiao didn't open his mouth, he truly couldn't eat it.
"Shen Xiao, do you not like it?"
"I like it."
"Alright, I'm telling you, this is the last skewer. I'm stuffed."
"Okay."
Ding!
[Gained Lu Qingyue's support, Fate Ticket +100!]
Eating the squid skewer in his hand with tears almost in his eyes, Shen Xiao felt the bitterness.
It's not easy for me to become stronger…
He visited every stall one by one.
Even though he couldn't eat anymore, he still wanted to buy things, mostly to please Lu Qingyue.
It was okay if he couldn't finish it. He'd just store it in his spatial artifact and promise Lu Qingyue that he'd "owe" her.
He could eat it slowly later.
This storage artifact was so useful, otherwise, all the things the Empress bought after a day of playing around could fill 50 trucks.
Fate Tickets: 7894.72
Lottery Wheel: Purple Quality
How much did I spend?
Over a million, I don't remember the exact amount, but it was roughly that much. Spending 1 million to spend a day with the Empress and getting 800 lottery tickets.
Small profit, small profit.
However, the result was still far from what he expected.
He had plenty of time, and now that the Empress was in an excellent mood, it was the best time to collect lottery tickets.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Lu Qingyue was in a good mood right now, and he felt he could take a risk and try his luck. He needed to finish his small achievement first.
"Qingyue, slow down! There's something on your face."
"Is there? Where?" Lu Qingyue touched her face, secretly regretting that she hadn't brought a makeup mirror. It must be because she ate so messily just now.
Seeing Shen Xiao suddenly kiss her cheek, she was stunned for a long time before reacting.
Now she understood what Shen Xiao meant when he said there was something on her face!
"You... you bad person!"
