"It's really not necessary. Besides, I have so many things to do every day now, I don't have much time to go out," Su Xiyan said with a sigh. Ever since her powers had increased dramatically, her responsibilities had grown as well.
Although her experience wasn't extensive, in terms of strength, she was now the most powerful person in all of Su City aside from her father. In a way, she had become everyone's pillar of support.
Many matters were now reported to her, which greatly increased her workload.
"You can handle things anytime, but today we must buy this outfit! If you have too much to deal with, I can help you handle it together, can't I?" Chen Shuo was determined. He had no other plans today except to shed the nickname "Glass Rooster."
He didn't want people calling him a Glass Rooster for the rest of his life; how could he ever hold his head up otherwise?
Seeing Chen Shuo's persistence, Su Xiyan felt helpless but finally chose to compromise. After quickly washing up and getting ready, she had wanted to eat something.
But Chen Shuo was impatient, like an ant on a hot pan.
He pulled Su Xiyan towards the door, while she struggled, complaining, "I haven't eaten yet! Can't you wait for me to have a bite first?"
"Just grab something, we'll eat on the way."
Chen Shuo didn't give her a chance, casually grabbing a sandwich from the table and stuffing it into Su Xiyan's hand. Like coaxing a child, he led Su Xiyan out the door.
Seeing Chen Shuo's serious demeanor, Su Xiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Somehow, Chen Shuo's stubborn attitude seemed a bit cute to her.
His abrupt behavior didn't make her uncomfortable. On the contrary, Su Xiyan rather liked it.
Driving a white AMG, Chen Shuo sped along the road with Su Xiyan.
"Where are you going? This is the road out of the city."
At first, Su Xiyan hadn't noticed anything unusual, but when she saw the highway toll station, she was somewhat stunned.
Chen Shuo said nonchalantly, "That's right, I never said we'd buy it in Su City."
"Wait, if not in Su City, then where? You're not taking me to another city to shop, are you?" Su Xiyan was bewildered.
"You'll see when we get there. You won't be disappointed."
After dropping this hint, Chen Shuo accelerated again.
The car sped out of Su City and onto the highway. Seeing Chen Shuo floor the gas pedal, Su Xiyan couldn't help but caution, "Be careful, there's no need to go so fast."
"I know, and I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Chen Shuo said he wasn't rushing, but his actual speed told a different story.
Feeling the strong force pushing her back into the seat, Su Xiyan frowned.
Fortunately, as a monster hunter, she had seen her share of thrills, so this "Fast and Furious" experience was manageable.
However, she couldn't understand what had provoked Chen Shuo so much.
Could the label "Glass Rooster" really have such a powerful effect? In Su Xiyan's understanding, Chen Shuo had always been thick-skinned.
Especially during their first encounter, she had a clear impression of Chen Shuo's brazenness. He had fallen to his knees begging for mercy before she had even done anything.
It's said that a man's knees are worth gold, but for Chen Shuo, this didn't apply at all. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that if the gold under his knees could actually be used, Chen Shuo would be the first to make use of it.
Yet now, this same person was making such a big change over being called a "Glass Rooster."
Truly, the world is full of wonders.
As they chatted intermittently, they arrived at their destination.
Rong City Commercial Center.
Rong City was the provincial capital of Su City. Although not too far from Su City, the consumption level here was far beyond comparison with Su City.
This place gathered various luxury brands, with a price level that ordinary people couldn't accept.
For Su Xiyan, it wasn't a problem, but for an ordinary student like Chen Shuo, this shouldn't be a place he would choose.
"You really plan to spend here?" Su Xiyan asked skeptically after getting out of the car.
Chen Shuo, without looking back, took Su Xiyan's hand and strode forward.
"Let's go, since I dared to come, I'm fully prepared. Today's expenses are on me, Chen the Young Master!"
Chen Shuo patted his chest confidently.
Faced with Chen Shuo's mysterious confidence, Su Xiyan still felt worried. "Are we really going?"
"Of course! Today I'll show you just how generous this Glass Rooster can be."
Seeing Chen Shuo's defiant look, Su Xiyan shook her head with a smile.
Indeed, Chen Shuo had taken deep offense to the term "Glass Rooster."
Since Chen Shuo had insisted, she decided to go along with his wishes.
Chen Shuo led Su Xiyan along until they stopped in front of a Gucci store.
"Here we are, this is the place!"
Chen Shuo surveyed the luxurious decorations in the store and the various exquisite bags displayed above, looking satisfied.
Although he wasn't well-versed in luxury brands, he knew a thing or two about Gucci's reputation.
"Are you sure about this place? Their items are all very expensive." Su Xiyan held Chen Shuo back at the crucial moment, whispering in his ear.
Seeing Su Xiyan trying to save money for him, Chen Shuo felt a warmth in his heart.
He had thought that someone from a wealthy family like her wouldn't have much concept of money. But Su Xiyan was always considering things from his perspective.
How could such a wonderful woman not be worth splurging on?
As for money, Chen Shuo wasn't worried at all. Since the system had awakened and he had become a vampire, he had been rewarded with large sums of money every time he completed a system task.
While it wasn't inexhaustible, at least he could afford to spend freely in a place like this.
"It's fine, I'm absolutely sure. Today, whatever you like, we'll buy it all!"
Chen Shuo's generous statement reassured Su Xiyan.
She had already prepared herself. If Chen Shuo didn't have enough money, she would pay out of her own pocket.
After all, shopping at Gucci wasn't something everyone could afford. A single item could easily cost tens or hundreds of thousands. She hadn't seen Chen Shuo spend much money before.
Su Xiyan had one more concern: if she really had to pay, how could she protect Chen Shuo's pride?
While she was pondering this, Chen Shuo had already pulled her into the store.
Two uniformed female greeters at the door bowed deeply, their voices clear and pleasant: "Welcome to Gucci. We wish you a pleasant shopping experience..."
