CHAPTER 783: CHAPTER 783: LOSING BILLIONS OF OFFSPRING

Liu Ying tilted her little head back, the allure in her eyes infinite as she gazed at the utterly dejected Ye Xuan, and with a giggle, her voice soft and sweet, she said, "Big guy, although I can’t give myself to you, I can satisfy you in another way!"

Hmm?

Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up at her words. "And what way might that be?"

He had already guessed a sliver of what she may imply, buzzing with excitement. If it indeed was what he suspected, then he would be in for a treat!

Sure enough, Liu Ying didn’t say a word, but the smile on the corner of her lips became even more enchanting.

She wriggled free from Ye Xuan’s embrace and turned around to face him. The next moment, Liu Ying knelt on the floor and slowly bent over...

An hour later, in a restroom at the Xintiandi Mall.

Ye Xuan leaned against the restroom door, arms crossed over his chest, looking languidly at Liu Ying, who was at the sink continually rinsing her mouth with water. He curled his lip. "What’s the big wash for? You didn’t swallow poison, after all. That stuff is nourishing—it’s great for beauty and complexion! You’re acting as if you’re going to get pregnant."

Pff!

Liu Ying spat out the mouthwash, then pulled out a tissue from her handbag to wipe her mouth, snorting coldly, "You should have kept it out of my mouth! You men only think of your own pleasure, never considering our feelings."

With that, she turned around and glared fiercely at Ye Xuan. "Hmph! If I really did get pregnant, I would just move into your house and have your wife wait on me hand and foot!"

"Hehe, I’d welcome that! The minute you agree to go to a hotel with me, I’ll make you a pregnant lady on the spot," Ye Xuan said with a wicked smile, the corners of his mouth turned up in amusement.

"Don’t flatter yourself, I wouldn’t go to a hotel with you!"

Liu Ying huffed, rolling her eyes at him. Then she put the tissue back in her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and walked out of the restroom, adding, "Considering your poor performance, you owe me another round of shopping as compensation!"

"Alright then! Seeing as you’ve taken such good care of me, I’m in a great mood and will indulge you with a shopping trip," Ye Xuan chuckled, casually agreeing, not minding accompanying her to the mall—in hopes that if her mood improved enough, she might indulge him once more!

Of course, Ye Xuan knew he was getting ahead of himself. However, the delicious delight of their earlier encounter were still lingering in his mind, making him yearn for more.

Once they left the restroom, they resumed their leisurely stroll around the mall.

Arm in arm, they looked every bit the intimate couple, envied by many onlookers.

Soon, they arrived in front of an upscale jewelry store, and Liu Ying stopped abruptly, leaving Ye Xuan somewhat puzzled.

"Big guy, I want you to buy me some jewelry!"

Liu Ying gestured toward the jewelry store with her mouth, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

"You’ve got jewelry already, don’t you? Why do you need to buy more?"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed. This woman’s own family, the Liu Group, operated several jewelry stores.

Getting jewelry should be a no-brainer. She could just pick something up from one of her own stores. Why ask him to buy it? It seemed utterly unnecessary!

"That’s my own stuff, can’t you see the difference? If you give it to me, then it becomes precious—it represents your affection."

Liu Ying swayed Ye Xuan’s arm, pouted her lips, and cooed, "I just got a sore mouth from helping you, and it took so much effort. Consider buying me jewelry as compensation!"

Ye Xuan wasn’t pleased when he heard this, muttering, "You expended effort? I even lost several billions of potential offspring!"

"Pei! You... you’re so improper!"

Liu Ying obviously heard him, her pretty face instantly flushed with indignation, glaring at him, "Are you going to buy it or not?"

"Buy, buy, buy; whatever jewelry you want, I’ll buy it all for you, okay?"

Seeing Liu Ying’s threatening look, Ye Xuan immediately shook his head, somewhat helplessly said.

"That’s more like it! Hehe, big guy, let’s go in."

Only then did Liu Ying swap anger for joy, and tightening her grip on Ye Xuan’s arm, walked into the jewelry store.

Noticing a customer visit, a well-dressed female sales associate greeted them with a smile, courteously asked, "Sir, miss, what can I help you with, or what kind of jewelry would you like to buy?"

"What’s the most expensive piece of jewelry you have?" Liu Ying directly asked, very straightforward.

Ye Xuan acquiesced to buy her something for once, of course, she had to choose the most expensive. The labor she’d been through shouldn’t be for nothing and let this guy off easy!

The sales associate, initially maintaining a professional smile, suddenly had a spark in her eyes upon hearing this, her smile growing even warmer as she attentively introduced, "Miss, the most expensive piece of jewelry in our store is an 11-carat Kroa Blue Diamond Ring from Southern California, valued at 2.98 million! Would you like to have a look?"

"Hmm, sounds good, bring it for me to see!" Liu Ying nodded.

"Right away, please wait a moment, miss."

The sales associate promptly replied, turning to retrieve the ring for Liu Ying.

In less than half a minute, the sales associate returned with an exquisite crystal box and placed it on the counter. She gestured for Liu Ying to come closer, saying, "Miss, please step over here to have a look."

Liu Ying gracefully moved her steps, walking slowly over, and the sales associate opened the crystal box immediately.

Standing in front of the counter, looking at the softly glittering blue diamond ring in the crystal box, even she couldn’t help but be a bit astounded and promptly lifted the box towards herself for a closer look.

After a full five minutes of examining, Liu Ying lifted her gaze and turned towards Ye Xuan, almost coquettishly saying, "Big guy, I like this diamond. Can you buy me this ring, please?"

The sales associate beside them also showed a hopeful look.

This Kroa Blue Diamond Ring from Southern California had been in the store for a long time yet remained unsought!

After all, not everyone could afford the 2.98 million price tag. If she could sell it, she would receive a handsome commission!

"It’s just a ring, right? If you like it, then we’ll take it."

Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders, appearing indifferent. This amount of money was not a big deal to him.

"Thank you, dear! You are so good to me, I love you to death."

Liu Ying said excitedly, immediately beaming with joy, and pressed a kiss on Ye Xuan’s cheek.

What she cared about wasn’t the value of the ring, of course. Liu Ying, as the CEO of East Sea City’s Liu Group, certainly wasn’t short of money.

It was the fact that Ye Xuan didn’t even blink at the price of 2.98 million before agreeing to buy it. What did that mean? It meant he cared about her, that he was willing to spend so much on a ring just for her! That was what truly made her happy.
