<h4>Chapter 121 It Depends on Who Pays for the Bill!</h4>


    After ying for a while at home, they went to have lunch hand in hand. In fact, it was a brunch since Xia Xiaoluo got up sote. It was almost 12 o’clock when they finished their seafood feast booked by Ling Tianyi.


    He Meishu called to check when they would arrive home. By convention, sons and daughters would gather together with their family on Mid-Autumn Festival. Her daughter was still abroad, so she looked forward to seeing Ling Tianyi earlier.


    “Mom, Xiaoluo and I will y for a while, and we will be back at 4 or 5 o’clock in the afternoon.” Ling Tianyi said. He hasn’te home since he quarreled with his father because of Xia Xiaoluo. It was Mid-Autumn Festival, were it for fear that his mother would be disappointed, Ling Tianyi wouldn’t go home with Xia Xiaoluo.


    “By the way, mom, we have already finished our lunch, I’m afraid we might feel hungry early.” He said.


    “Okay, I see. I will ask them to prepare the dinner early. How about 5 o’clock?” She understood her son at once and made some arrangements.


    “Mom, how is dad today...?” Ling Tianyi wanted to know whether his stubborn father was in a good mood, so he could think about what to do then.


    “You know him. He yed chess with Lao Zhao this morning and then came back to take care of his flowers in the garden. I don’t want to talk with him. Well, talk with him politely and don’t argue with him anymore.” Ling Tianyi answered her insincerely and then hung up.


    Xia Xiaoluo looked at Ling Tianyi and asked: “Darling, what happened to your dad?”


    “Nothing, he is always stubborn. Just leave him alone. It’s Mid-Autumn Festival and let’s talk more with mom at home.” Ling Tianyi embraced Xia Xiaoluo and said. The next station would be the department store. Xia Xiaoluo gave him a red bracelet yesterday, which makes him really happy. Therefore, Ling Tianyi decided to buy a lot of presents for Xia Xiaoluo to show his love.


    The rain almost stopped at noon, but Ling Tianyi still held the umbre for his sweetheart in order to protect her. He knew that it was unhealthy for a girl to catch a cold during her menstrual period.


    Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to the most luxurious department store in A City and said: “Darling, I will buy all the things here for you if you like!”


    “Huh? Let’s buy presents for our parents. We must bring something for Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.” Xia Xiaoluo said.


    “You are so considerate!” Ling Tianyi smiled slightly and went on shopping with Xia Xiaoluo.


    Xia Xiaoluo was not interested in the jewels at the first floor, but Ling Tianyi bought some without any consideration. He ordered the sales assistant to pack up everything he asked, making these sales girls can’t help smiling.


    “Darling, is it necessary to buy so many jewels?” Xia Xiaoluo hardly wore jewels, including her wedding ring and the luxurious watch Ling Tianyi gave her.


    “It’s necessary!” Ling Tianyi said and picked up a pearl ne, “Darling, how about this one?”


    Xia Xiaoluo looked at it. It was really beautiful, but she was shocked at the price. She whispered to him, “Darling, just one pearl costs 398 thousand? It’s so expensive! It’s a ckmail! You are a wise businessman, so don’t be deceived.”


    Ling Tianyi curled his lips, thinking that his little wife was so practical. She must think that it was the pearl ne which cost only 20 yuan in the abandoned car park. If another woman went shopping with him, she must take the opportunity to buy a lot of expensive jewelry which would cost one million.


    Ling Tianyi pointed to another set of jade jewels and asked: “Do you want this?”


    “It costs 9.99 million?” Xia Xiaoluo was extremely shocked.


    “Darling, jewels here are too expensive! Let’s go!” Looking at the price, Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t stand anymore.


    “Darling, pearl jewels suit you more, or I will buy you jadeite.” Ling Tianyi said and wore the pearl ne for her.


    “I’ll take it!” Ling Tianyi handed his credit card to the assistant.


    “Darling, please don’t!” Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t stop him. She felt that the expensive ne seemed very heavy on her neck. The ne cost 398 thousand, maybe more expensive than her life.


    After paying the bill, the assistant handed the packages and the invoice to Ling Tianyi respectfully. Xia Xiaoluo held the delicate bag and thought that she could get a lot of money back if she had it returned one day.


    It seemed that Ling Tianyi realized what was in Xia Xiaoluo’s mind, so he took out the invoice and tore it into pieces. Then he threw the pieces into the shinning silver rubbish bin beside the counter and looked at Xia Xiaoluocently.


    Feeling annoyed, Xia Xiaoluo patted her own forehead. Ling Tianyi said beside her ears: “It’s not expensive. I bought you another pair of diamond earrings which cost more than 3.6 million when you were ying your cell phone. It is designed by a famous designer, and you can try them onter. I have torn the invoice as well, so it’s impossible for you to return them. What’s more, I will check your jewelry box regrly. I will spank you if you sell any of them.”


    “Darling, you waste so much money and I haven’t had my ears pierced!” Xia Xiaoluo pushed her hair to show her ears.


    “Never mind. I will bring you to do it!” Ling Tianyi smiled. He decided to hold a ceremonious and romantic wedding for her after being enlightened by Yao Sheng. The bride must wear earrings, so having her ears pierced would be a good preparation.


    “I don’t want to do that!” Xia Xiaoluo eximed, attracting others’ attention.


    “Shh... darling, we are in public ce, so don’t speak so loudly. What’s more, I am one of the shareholders here and I don’t want to let the manager know, or they will follow us all the time. It will be so nasty!” Ling Tianyi looked around, being afraid that she has drawn too much attention.


    Xia Xiaoluo calmed down, pulling one of his sleeves: “Darling, I don’t want to have my ears pierced. It hurts a lot!”


    “Not really! For the sake of beauty, many girls have cosmetic surgeries. They have their faces reshaped, while you just have your ears pierced. Don’t be afraid.” Ling Tianyiforted Xia Xiaoluo, hoping to encourage her.


    “But it’s Mid-Autumn Festival today!” Xia Xiaoluo murmured.


    “Well, let’s do it after the festival!” Ling Tianyi said.


    Then Ling Tianyi bought another jade bracelet that cost 13 million. It was for He Meishu, so Xia Xiaoluo didn’t stop him. But she thought that Ling Tianyi wasted too much money.


    “These are seals!” Seeing that there were seal carving works in a jade shop, Xia Xiaoluo went there curiously.


    “Darling, dad must like it if you buy a seal for him!” Xia Xiaoluo pointed to the delicate seals. She never knew that those were avable in a jade shop.


    “Well, let’s buy one for him!” Ling Tianyi was about to choose the one which has been carved.


    “Ignorance is bliss.” Ling Tianyi liked it very much and showed it to Xia Xiaoluo, “Darling, how about this one?”


    “Why do you want to be ignorant? It’s not interesting!” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t understand the implied meaning. She felt that the carvings with names were more interesting.


    “I’ll take this one, please pack it well.” Ling Tianyi said. He chose that seal because he wanted to tell his stubborn father to be more generous. He hoped that his father would not interfere his emotional life. In his opinion, his father should be ignorant of the affairs of younger generation, because family harmony was the basis for sess in any undertaking.


    Ling Tianyi took the seal and bought some nes and bracelets which cost from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands for the family on grasnd. As for the presents that Xia Xiaoluo bought, he would give them to the children on grasnd. He could also give them to the grandchildren of that family, so that they could send them to their friends.


    After buying jewels from the first floor, Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to the upper floors. The second, the third and the fourth floors were clothes.


    It was cool in autumn. Knowing that Xia Xioaluo did not have so many clothes and most of them were too thin, Ling Tianyi kept choosing clothes for her. Xia Xiaoluo got tired of changing clothes, but Ling Tianyi still went on happily.


    Ling Tianyi bought many clothes from the second and the third floors, he couldn’t take them on his own. He had to leave his address in order to make the clothes sent to his apartment.


    Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to the fourth floor where there were all underwear and pajamas.


    “Darling, let’s buy some sexy underwear!” Ling Tianyi said beside her ears frivolously.


    “I want ordinary ones!” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t agree. Because Ling Tianyi liked making love to her even though she wore lovely cotton underwear. She thought that she couldn’t get up if she wore sexy underwear.


    “It depends on who pays for the bill! I buy you clothes, so I will choose them for you. Your task is to make sure the size.” He meant to buy sexy underwear for her so that he could enjoy sexual life well after the menstrual period.
