The price of this bag was 23,550 yuan. This amount itself wasn’t remarkable, but because the bag was so popular, one still needed to purchase additional items to qualify for it.
Xi Luting rolled her eyes as Han Lie dragged her over to pick out these accompanying items.
She looked extrely displeased, but once she started choosing, she beca very enthusiastic, finding everything in the accessories section captivating.
Before long, she was happily tugging Han Lie’s arm, seeking his opinion. "How about we get this bracelet or these earrings? They’re so cute and not expensive!"
In truth, it didn’t really matter what accompanying items they bought; spending around ten thousand yuan was enough to qualify for the bag.
And indeed, Hers accessories were quite affordable, with a wide variety ranging from two to three thousand yuan to seven to eight thousand yuan, all boasting distinctive styles.
But Han Lie deliberately shot her down.
"Why buy accessories? Are you stupid?"
"Huh?" She was a bit confused.
"Silly girl, rember this: never wear Hers accessories. People in the know will see right through it and think, ’Oh, those are just items she had to buy to get her bag; she couldn’t bear to leave them at ho.’ Or worse, they might think you didn’t even buy the bag yourself—that these are just hand--down trinkets soone else didn’t want. Look at those truly wealthy socialites; who among them wears Hers necklaces or bracelets?"
Truth be told, Han Lie was just spouting nonsense. As a forr nobody turned nouveau riche, how could he possibly know if these jewelry pieces were popular?
He was simply going by instinct; he felt these items weren’t very classy. Besides, there were very few custors in that section; hardly anyone lingered there.
His 79 points in Intelligence and his new talent had greatly enhanced his logical thinking abilities.
Xi Luting was even more clueless, but Han Lie’s earnest and unwavering expression was incredibly convincing.
So, she imdiately put down the small item and asked blankly, "Then what should we buy?"
Good, she’s becoming more and more obedient.
Han Lie happily led her around, and they eventually stopped at the gift section.
"How about we buy a few lipsticks?"
Hers lipsticks were 550 yuan each—ridiculously expensive—but the quality wasn’t bad.
As standalone products, they weren’t as outstanding as those from YSL, Tom Ford, or Armani.
However, rely as accompanying items for a larger purchase, their value proposition was clearly much higher than that of small accessories, trinkets, or decorative boxes.
Han Lie’s suggestion struck the perfect chord with her.
"Great!"
Xi Luting excitedly agreed and then began to choose ticulously.
And Han Lie took charge of offering opinions, doing a rather impressive job.
"Babe, this shade is nice."
"Excellent, that one has a bit of your signature style, Luting."
"This shade looks a bit muddy. How about trying a dusty rose?"
Eventually, with Han Lie’s patient companionship and advice, she picked out ten lipsticks in shades #13, #16, #18, #21, #36, #40, #59, #64, #66, and #75.
Afterward, they also bought a rather chic "Lucky" double-sided belt.
In total, they spent 11,200 yuan, satisfying the bundled purchase requirent and securing the Herbag.
When they left, Xi Luting couldn’t have been happier, her face beaming with joy.
In fact, the amount spent wasn’t huge. The total didn’t even reach the price of the Cartier necklace he had given her previously, let alone compare to the watch.
The main reason was Han Lie’s patience; he had personally helped her pick out her favorite lipstick shades.
Moreover, he was always there to make the final decision for her whenever she felt conflicted.
For her, this shopping experience had been extrely pleasant.
So, after they left the store, she clung tightly to Han Lie’s arm, willingly letting him lead her towards the hotel across the street without asking a single question.
Even though the na of the hotel was sowhat intimidating.
***Couple’s The Fun Hotel.
The hotel’s sign was designed rather oddly. Two characters in its na were particularly prominent and visible at a glance—AHEM!
Suddenly, Xi Luting rembered just what a mischievous and promiscuous scoundrel Han Lie was. But she didn’t want to escape; instead, a surge of anticipation welled up within her.
Just before they entered, she stopped. Lightly biting her lower lip and avoiding eye contact with Han Lie, she casually asked, "Should we... invite Pan Ge along?"
Han Lie was taken aback, then overwheld with ecstatic joy.
