Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

There was a tense atmosphere in the air.

Wei Jiusi's expression now held an indescribable strangeness. Although he appeared calm, he could make everyone feel the pressure of a dark cloud and a flash flood.

The sun was scorching outside the window, but it seemed like a drizzle was falling in Baoyuezhai. However, this drizzle was gathering tremendous power, making it impossible to predict when the subsequent downpour would finally fall.

"Miss, Yuetoulou has just received a new batch of silk dresses. Among them is a jade smoke silk dress designed by our boss, the only one of its kind. How about I take you over to have a look?" Jin Zhe, upon hearing Ruan Chuyin mention buying some clothes, hurried down the slope. The atmosphere was so eerie that he was terrified. He was truly afraid this King of Hell would get mad and tear their building apart.

He glanced at Ruan Chuyin again and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for her.

Then those who can spend money should follow their boss. She can even have the whole building if she wants it!

Bah! What are you thinking! Can you just dream of Pavilion Master Wei's people?

In the void, the two forces were secretly confronting each other, and neither of them took the initiative to break it.

Ruan Chuyin tilted her head slightly, looked at Wei Jiusi calmly, and waited for his reaction without any impatience.

Wei Jiusi imitated Ruan Chuyin's expression, quietly meeting her gaze. He placed his hands behind his back, the five fingers of his right hand tapping rhythmically against the palm of his left, his inner rage already soaring through the air.

If I don’t buy it, I will definitely be looked down upon by this woman.

Go ahead and buy it. The money you have in your pocket may not be enough. If you can't pay later, you will still be looked down upon.

At this moment, his mind was no longer simply weighing whether to buy or not, but whether to marry or not.

When the old Pavilion Master was young, he fell in love with a girl and spent half his life savings but still failed to marry her. So the sentence he kept repeating most in his life was "Women are the most expensive in the world."

Wei Jiusi felt that Ruan Ruan was even more of a spendthrift than the old Pavilion Master's sweetheart. She'd just gone shopping, and she'd already bought a whole villa. Although he'd asked for it today, at this rate, he couldn't help but doubt whether he could afford to support her.

Suddenly, the way he looked at Ruan Chuyin changed. He felt that she was not a little white rabbit at all, but his ancestor.

"How much in total?"

After a long silence, Wei Jiusi finally spoke. His cold voice lingered in the huge Baoyuezhai, seeming both ethereal and hollow, as if it had flowed through the long river of time and was filled with endless vicissitudes.

Jin Zhe's breath was choked, and he suddenly turned his gaze away, looking at him in disbelief.

What does that mean? Does Pavilion Master Wei really want to buy them all?

This... This... This... Big deal! He's going to make a fortune! Jin Zhe is going to rise! Next month, the position of Baoyuezhai's head shopkeeper will belong to him!

He quickly picked up the abacus beside him and started calculating.

Papapapa～～～Papapapa～～～

The clear and cheerful sound of beads rang out in the building, continuously, powerfully and rhythmically.

Ruan Chuyin looked at the small black beads sliding back and forth in Manager Jin's hands, leaving afterimages, and rubbed her eyes in amazement.

The "Golden Mountain" blocks the moon and buries the sun.

Jin Zhe's chubby fingers danced lightly on the abacus, two clusters of orange-red flames flashed in his eyes, and he was fighting fiercely with a bunch of numbers without distraction, spreading a net to try to catch them all.

In order to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, he calculated it three times before he was satisfied and wrote the amount on a piece of paper and slowly moved it in front of Wei Jiusi.

A furry little head came over curiously, took a closer look, and its eyelids twitched violently.

Fifteen precious hairpins: 18,000 taels

Eight precious rings: 1,200 taels

Three pairs of jade bracelets: 120,000 taels

Four pairs of earrings: 800 taels

Three sets of headgear: 58,000 taels

Total: 198,000 taels

Discount: 30% off

Discounted price: 138,600 taels

It's a big game!

This time, Ruan Chuyin didn't dare to look at Wei Jiusi's expression again, and silently moved her head back to its original position.

"Three sets of headgear cost fifty-eight thousand taels?" She thought the price was a bit outrageous and accidentally asked her question. After she finished speaking, her face froze and she couldn't help but look at Wei Jiusi.

It would have been fine if I hadn't looked, but once I did, I was met with his complex gaze. Melancholy and coldness made me feel as if I were in an endless ocean, unable to fathom it.

Upon hearing this, Jin Zhe immediately explained, "Miss, the price of a complete set of headwear is a bit more expensive than buying each item separately."

"Go pick out a few more nice clothes, some rouge, powder, and some embroidered shoes." Wei Jiusi was pleased with the price on the bill. While still expensive, it was much cheaper than he'd expected, and his favorability towards Fu Suiyun soared. Next time he came, he'd give him a discount.

Still buying?

Ruan Chuyin was stunned. She glanced at Wei Jiusi with a puzzled look. Her head was buzzing. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing. She did need to buy some clothes and a few pairs of shoes. As for the rest, there was no need.

Jin Zhe was so happy that he went crazy. Since Baoyuezhai opened, he had never met a customer as generous as Master Wei.

The four words "throwing money lavishly" are not enough to describe this extravagant and lavish feat. Only a big man like Pavilion Master Wei can afford to squander money!

No, no! How could they forget about their boss? Only rich people like their boss can afford to squander this much!

In a daze, she bought five more skirts, ten sets of underwear, five pairs of embroidered shoes, two bottles of perfume, two boxes of ointment, and a set of the most fashionable rouge and powder.

Wei Jiusi caught a glimpse of a double-sided embroidered fan with the pattern of "Frugal Branches" and thought it would be perfect for Ruan Ruan to cool down, so he took it.

Ruan Chuyin had no idea how much money was spent in the end. She just saw Manager Jin write another piece of paper in a very eloquent manner and hand it to Wei Jiusi.

Wei Jiusi didn't even look at it and just signed his name.

The banknotes he had in his hand today were not enough to pay this huge sum of money. Fortunately, Jin Zhe had good judgment and decided to only accept one third of the money, and wait for Yueying Pavilion to deliver the rest later.

Wei Jiusi is different from the young man from a noble family. In their line of work, reputation is extremely important, so Jin Zhe is not worried at all that he will default on his debt.

Ruan Chuyin watched without blinking as Shopkeeper Jin and four or five assistants sorted and packed all the purchased treasures into a large exquisite wooden box. She couldn't help but move two inches closer to Wei Jiusi and asked in a low voice, "Why did you buy so many things for me?" She didn't believe that this man didn't see her intention.

"Oh, didn't you say you wanted it?"

Wei Jiusi replied nonchalantly. He had indeed hesitated at first, but Ruan Chuyin's question, "Three sets of headgear cost fifty-eight thousand taels?" made him feel that this woman still cared about him, so he no longer hesitated and bought them all, and his determination to marry her became even stronger.

No! It should be said that he has already regarded Ruan Chuyin as his wife.

Wei Jiusi felt that he was different from the old Pavilion Master. He would never be like the old Pavilion Master, who ended up with nothing and lost both his money and his life. He was determined to have this woman.

After packing, the four guys carefully carried the large wooden box downstairs and handed it to Yue Shiba.

Jin Zhe led the two distinguished guests downstairs with a beaming smile, his praises pouring out non-stop all the way. This day's glory would allow him to boast for the rest of his life.

"Miss Ruan!" Qu Haoyue finally waited until Ruan Chuyin came downstairs. He immediately put down the gold hairpin in his hand and strode towards her.
