    He Jing had not nned to buy it at first. After all, the pen exceeded her budget.


    Hearing Yan Hanxi’s words, she quickly said, “No, I don’t want it anymore!”


    Yan Hanxi turned around and smiled. “What should I do? I, Yan Hanxi, have never lost to anyone in terms of privilege. Do you want me to leave with my tail between my legs?”


    He Jing met his eyes, and after a long while, she squeezed out through gritted teeth, “Fine. Do whatever you want.”


    Cheng Yi’s expression changed. She chewed on her lower lip, feigning a pitiful countenance, “Student Yan, Student He Jing has already said she doesn’t want it. Won’t you let me have it instead?”


    Yan Hanxi’s indifferent gazended on Cheng Yi as he said, “No, I can’t.”


    Cheng Yi felt wronged. She blinked, dewy tears clinging to her fluttering eyshes. “Why? Could you and He Jing have that kind of rtionship…


    Yan Hanxi smiled gantly. “That’s not it. I just find this fountain pen unique, and I like it.’


    Cheng Yi cocked her head in confusion. “I like taking things from others.”


    How could Cheng Yi not realize Yan Hanxi was mocking her? Her face turned an unhealthy green before paling considerably.


    He Jing nearly burst intoughter. Thankfully, she had enough presence of mind to stifle it behind a small upturning of her lips. “It seems so.” “Of course,” Yan Hanxi said.


    “Have you found the gold card yet?” Yan Hanxi harried the poordy.


    “Thedy rummaged through Yan Hanxi’s wallet, sweating profusely.


    Eventually, she found the gold card, signifying an esteemed customer of Les


    Elfes under a mountain of others. “Y-yes, I’ve found it.”


    Zhou Xue’er sensed things were about to turn for the worse and quickly added her penny’s worth, “Both Cheng Yi and Yan Hanxi are gold card holders – they share an equal status. You can’t be biased.”


    Thedy shot Zhou Xue’er a disdainful look, one she quickly masked behind a thin veneer of respect. “Of course not. Thepany ismitted to protecting our honored guests’ rights and interests. We pride ourselves on providing nothing but the best shopping experience. Any conflict between parties regarding the sale of goods will always be handled fairly. That is…”


    “How about this? Let’s see who understands the true essence of Les Elfes as a brand,” He Jing proposed calmly.


    “The young miss makes an excellent suggestion.”


    “Why is it soplicated to buy a pen?” Zhou Xue’er shrieked. “Are you trying to take advantage of your customers?”


    Even someone as cold as Yan Hanxi could not help butugh when he heard Zhou Xue’er’sint. “Only the ignorant would think the shop is exploiting its customers.”


    Cheng Yi tugged at Zhou Xue’er’s sleeve somberly and said, “Xue’er, that’s enough. Don’t say anything else.”


    One look at thedy’s expression was enough to know He Jing had made an eptable proposal.


    Fortunately, after her previous failure in picking perfumes, Cheng Yi had learned her lesson, ensuring she did her homework on luxury brands, including Les Elfes.


    Not even He Jing might know more than her about Les Elfes. The Cheng family’s housekeeper had once said that He Jing preferred another brand to Les Elfes.


    With that thought, she spoke confidently, saying, “I ept He Jing’s proposed settlement.’


    Thedy turned to He Jing dutifully.


    “I’m fine with this arrangement.”


    What else was there to say if both sides had agreed to the terms of thepetition?


    “He Jing, do you want to go first, or shall I?” Cheng Yi smirked.


    “I’m fine with anything,” He Jing replied.


    Cheng Yi stole a nce at Yan Hanxi. Since God had given her such a chance, she would show Yan Hanxi who was better.


    She, Cheng Yi, was the real daughter. Only she was worthy of being his fiancée..
