Chapter 178 Birthday Gift, SKP Trip
The next morning, after waking up, Lin Li slowly took away the slender arm that was resting on his chest and got out of bed quietly.

After washing up and changing his clothes in the bathroom, Lin Li walked to the bed and squatted down, observing the sleeping beauty who was still sleeping soundly.

I didn't pay attention to the exact time yesterday, but judging from the fact that he had been cleaning up for quite some time and Xiaotian didn't seem to notice at all, he must have been very tired.

Lin Li observed for a while, gave up the idea of ​​waking up Xiaotian, sent her a message on his mobile phone saying "I'm going to the company and will be back soon", then got up and left the bedroom.

He was not going to the company, but to do something else.

Tomorrow is October 10th, which is also Oda’s birthday.

I went out to meet Wang Bao and looked at the time. It was a little after nine o'clock, just the right time.

The two drove straight to SKP and arrived at around ten o'clock. Lin Li put on a mask and a hat, got out of the car, and walked briskly towards the mall gate.

SKP is no stranger to people in Beijing. It is the shopping mall with the highest annual sales in the mainland.

Following it are Jinling Deji Plaza with annual sales of 100 billion, Beijing International Trade Mall with 91 billion, Pengcheng MixC with over 85 billion, and Changan SEG International Shopping Center with 71 billion.

SKP, with the tip of the tongue pointing upwards, from the lower jaw to the teeth, then slightly pursing the lips, and finally using the breath to pronounce the three noble and solemn letters, is the best way to describe it.

This shopping mall, which is completely distinguished from "Xidan", "Wangfujing", "Joy City" and so on from its name, has represented high-end, fashionable, luxurious and expensive since its inception.

SKP is known as the place where the richest people in Beijing line up obediently.

It is also a new internet celebrity check-in spot for young people. Rich people can buy happiness in SKP, and poor people can also have happiness while shopping in SKP.

1000 yuan for toothpaste, 998 yuan for a box of grapes, 217 yuan is only enough to buy 20 strawberries.
Yes, you heard that right.

SKP is known as a shopping mall that even people with a monthly salary of RMB 100,000 would not dare to visit.

Rich people are used to buying some fruits and vegetables home with the points they get back after buying brand-name bags, for example, Australian purebred Wagyu beef at 3160 yuan per kilogram.

Young people are trying their best to find consumer goods that are both decent and affordable.

For example, the Ladies’ Afternoon Tea Set on the B1 floor includes Matcha Tiramisu for RMB 258 and Blueberry Cheese Napoleon for RMB 228.

The unit price seems to be affordable if you grit your teeth, but a portion of 320g is so light that it really hurts to spend the money.

NUDAKE Mars Cafe is coming with an unconventional attitude. Behind the exquisite presentation is a cup of coffee priced at NT$70 and a minimum consumption of NT$500 per hour in the glass room.

Restaurants with an average cost of two to three hundred yuan per person have become a must-visit affordable restaurant compared to their peers. From spicy Sichuan cuisine to exquisite Cantonese cuisine, seafood and French cuisine are also indispensable. After looking at the pictures, I don’t know whether the food is delicious, but exquisite plating and great scenery are definitely standard.

These places allow people to spend money, check in, take photos, and allow the so-called "socialites" to post on blogs and social media to show off their exquisite and high-end lifestyles.

Holding the knife and fork with an intimate and lovely expression, the white porcelain plate reflects a peaceful and tranquil life. When posting on WeChat Moments, one must remember to mark the location of SKP, as if this landmark itself represents a utopia that transcends reality.

Who knows, maybe it can attract a lot of bootlickers?

Lin Li walked into the spacious and bright shopping mall and saw long queues in front of the LV and Hermes stores.

At this moment, these rich people look no different from ordinary uncles and aunts who are rushing to grab promotions, except that you can always see crocodile leather platinum bags, Dior saddles, YSL niki, GUCCI1955 and other popular online celebrity items in the queue.

The teams of Chanel and Dior on the side were sparse. Although the black and gold CF was noble and beautiful, it was ultimately more in line with the petty-bourgeois tastes of young international students. The title of Dior spokesperson was downgraded again and again, and it has also become the same style as internet celebrities.

When you enter SKP, the air seems to be filled with the smell of money.

To be more specific, it is a fruity scent plus musk, a mixture of various people's perfumes with a sense of 'money', the smell of desire.

Lin Li staggered to the destination, glanced at the store in front of it, and then saw many girls coming out of the store in groups, and then walked in leisurely.

"Hello, welcome to Van Cleef & Arpels. How may I help you?"

A moment after Lin Li entered the store, a female staff member in black uniform came forward to provide him with service.

Lin Li was very pleased with the other party's expertise: "Well, I want to buy a gift for someone. The other party is a girl. Do you have any recommendations for a birthday gift?"

"Understood sir, what is your name?"

"Forest"

"Okay, Mr. Lin, what is your relationship with him?"

The salesgirl asked.

"Couple."

"Okay, I see. What kind of gift would you like to choose? Like accessories? Necklace? Ring?"

"A necklace."

"Understood. Please follow me then."

The pretty female clerk wore a professional smile and after understanding Lin Li's needs, she led him to a row of display cabinets.

As soon as Lin Li entered the store, she spotted this man with outstanding height and temperament.

Lin Li's outfit of a white T-shirt, black pants, baseball cap and mask made her mistakenly think that the other person was a popular male star, so she kept guessing Lin Li's identity in her heart.

Due to her professional ethics, she couldn't look directly at the other person's face, otherwise she would probably be able to find out Lin Li's identity quickly.

The female clerk was also a little excited about the gossip. After all, this man who looked like a male celebrity was here to buy a birthday present for his girlfriend.

Even though as a clerk for such a high-end luxury brand, they have strict terms to keep the privacy of customers confidential, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Mr. Lin, look at this necklace from the Flowerlace high-end jewelry collection. The mesh-like diamond petals give the piece an ethereal and graceful form."

“This necklace, which looks like a lotus stem, is like a branch floating in the breeze. The tulle design captures the light and shimmers, reflecting the exquisite craftsmanship of the Maison’s artisans.”

“The Flowerlace collection cleverly combines the transparent beauty of lace with the elegant silhouette of flowers, paying tribute to Van Cleef & Arpels’ two main sources of inspiration: haute couture and the charming nature.”

Stopping in front of a display case, the female clerk stood in front of a half-length mannequin with her hands stretched out, introducing in a steady and professional tone a silver-white necklace on its neck that was shaped like a lotus handle, embellished with white gold and diamonds, and was stunningly beautiful at first glance.

“This one…” “This is the one.”

The female clerk was still introducing the items, but Lin Li interrupted her and made a decision.

The female clerk was startled, then quickly responded: "OK, Mr. Lin, how do you want to pay?"

"If you are a member of our SKP mall, you can also enjoy discounts."

The female clerk was very surprised. After all, the model she introduced was one of the more expensive ones in the store, and she had already prepared to introduce other models to the customer.

"Just swipe your card. This is my first time shopping here and I don't have a membership."

Lin Li did not plan to waste time. His usual shopping habit was to decide which store to go to, and once he entered, he would not go to a second store, no matter if he was buying the necklace today or some clothes, shoes or hats he usually bought.

He took a quick look and found that the model introduced by the female clerk in the display cabinet was the most expensive and the most unique in design, so he chose this one.

"Would you consider applying for a membership card for our SKP mall?"

"Becoming a member of our SKP can enjoy exclusive services, including but not limited to the use of business meeting space, the SKP self-branded bookstore on the fourth floor, and offline activities regularly held by SKP. SKP has many options for point redemption. 300 million points can be exchanged for an I Do diamond ring, 250 million points can be exchanged for a Cartier watch, and 100 million points can be exchanged for a MOYNAT tote bag."

The female salesperson did not give up and started selling the product very professionally.

"No, just pack it up and swipe the card."

Unfortunately, Lin Li had no interest at all and refused directly.

"Okay, I understand. This way please."

The female clerk saw the customer's determination and stopped immediately.

She also knew that today she met a rich man.

Following the female clerk to the front desk, he swiped his card to pay, and rejected the clerk's suggestion to fill in personal information so that he could be notified of discounts during holidays. Lin Li picked up the exquisite packaging bag and went out.

"I really envy his girlfriend. She is so rich and inhumane! She didn't even blink an eye when she bought a necklace worth nearly two million."

After bowing at the door and watching Lin Li leave, the female clerk couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

But no matter what, when she thought of this month's commission, she instantly felt light-hearted.

The only thing that’s not pretty is that I don’t know which male celebrity this is. Who are the male celebrities with the last name Lin?

Forest dog?

-

After returning to Courtyard No. 1, Lin Li went straight into the study and hid the necklace. He looked at the time and it was now half past eleven. There was no trace of Xiaotian in the living room. Could he still be sleeping?
I walked to the bedroom, opened the door and saw, wow, it was true.

Oda was lying on the bed in an indecent posture with the quilt clamped between his long legs, his naked white body straight with his back facing him.

???

Who can stand this perspective?

Lin Li took off his clothes and slowly approached Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xiwei felt something was wrong in her hazy state. Her body was throbbing inexplicably. Wasn't she sleeping? Why did she feel someone touching her? Why did she feel comfortable?

The spring dream left no trace?
When she felt waves of wetness on her neck and chest, she realized that this was not a dream!
Tian Xiwei opened her eyes with great effort, and sure enough, a familiar face was working hard on her chest.

"Are you an animal? Why did it start again?!"

Tian Xiwei rolled her eyes and complained mercilessly.

She still has no strength and her whole body is limp.

Come again?

"Look at the time. The sun is shining on your butt. This is your boyfriend's wake-up call. Do you understand?"

Lin Li raised his head and looked at Tian Xiwei, but his hands did not stop at all and continued to tease her with all his strength.

"You are just trying to find a legitimate reason to justify your lust! Oh... you... be gentle."

Tian Xiwei wanted to use words to make Lin Li realize his mistake, but her body's reaction made her words less effective.

"So, do you need a wake-up call?"

Lin Li looked playful.

"you!"

"Hurry up!"

Tian Xiwei was ultimately unable to resist her body's instinctive reaction and succumbed to Lin Li's increasingly skilled techniques.

"Well"

Lin Li kissed Tian Xiwei's lips without hesitation. For him, who was already familiar with Xiao Tian's body, everything was as expected.

Take advantage!

Handsome guys, finally a recommendation has come. Let’s try it out on the 5th to see how it works.

Today I had a conversation with an old author who writes about Chinese entertainment. He took the time to read my book and said that he got to know Tian Xiwei after reading my book. Then he went to Baidu but still didn’t know who Tian Xiwei was.

It seems I have to work harder to make Xiaotian more famous haha
