Chapter 91

He preferred his other half to be someone thrifty and capable of managing a household.

If it was something like buying a house or purchasing various foods.

No matter the cost, Lin Yi was willing to pay it gladly.

After all, those were things one could live in or eat and digest.

But when it came to luxury goods like LV, Hermès, or Patek Philippe.

Browsing them online was fine, but asking Lin Yi to actually buy them was impossible.

Because he believed these luxury items were merely a tax on intelligence.

Some claimed these luxury goods could elevate one's class and status.

However, Lin Yi felt that what truly elevated one's class and status was oneself.

If you became the world's richest person, even wearing a shirt worth a few yuan.

People would still perceive an aura of nobility about you.

Thus, a person's status was not built by accumulating luxury goods.

It relied on one's own abilities.

A person without ability, even dressed in a genuine dragon robe, would look no different from a beggar.

Although the two of them did not visit any luxury boutiques.

They did go to the basement supermarket of the IAPM mall.

Life.By.citysuper (IAPM Store).

Upon entering, Lin Yi felt he had been careless.

He had assumed this was just an ordinary supermarket, at least in terms of decoration.

But the moment he saw the items being sold.

Well! He had to admit that unless one possessed a net worth of several million, it was better not to come here.

A box of domestically produced Korean Shine Muscat grapes, extra-large size, cost 398 yuan.

A box of the Aiberry brand containing six strawberries cost 198 yuan, equivalent to 33 yuan per strawberry.

Then there was a box of cherries priced at 598 yuan.

Not only him, but even Han Han Han Yajing was left dumbfounded.

"Let's buy some!" Lin Yi said.

"It's too expensive; with this price, we could buy so much fruit elsewhere!"

Han Han Han Yajing shook her head.

Compared to those luxury goods, Lin Yi felt these fruits were somewhat pricey.

But since they were meant to be eaten, there must be a reason for the high cost.

"Alright, let's just taste what these high-end fruits are like; I'm quite curious to see what these 598-yuan cherries taste like!"

Without waiting for Han Han Han Yajing to speak, he placed the cherries into the shopping cart.

Seeing Han Meiren about to say more, Lin Yi affectionately scratched her nose with his finger.

"Just this once, okay!"

Han Han Han Yajing's cheeks flushed slightly at his intimate gesture, but since they were now a couple,

she was gradually getting used to it.

"You said it yourself; eating such expensive fruit once is enough. Don't buy it again!"

Han Han Han Yajing said very seriously.

"Yes... yes, my little housekeeper!"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Hmph, if I don't keep an eye on you, you'll spend money recklessly. Remember, every grain on the plate..."

The corner of Han Meiren's mouth curled up.

"...comes from hard labor!"

Lin Yi added with a laugh.

"Good that you know it!"

Han Han Han Yajing smiled faintly, then took Lin Yi's arm as they pushed the cart together.

Her appearance alone caused many shoppers in the supermarket to turn and look repeatedly.

As for Lin Yi, many male compatriots envied him so much they wished they could take his place.

However, for the two deeply in love, even grocery shopping felt sweet.

Within moments, their shopping cart was piled high with various items.

American Aifei apples, forty yuan each.

Lin Yi bought nine more, totaling three hundred sixty yuan.

Kangaroo Country mangoes, ninety-eight yuan each.

Besides fruit, the pair also purchased some premium Jingdezhen bowls and chopsticks from this supermarket.

A sixty-piece set, costing a total of sixteen thousand nine hundred yuan.

Then, after some thought, Han Han Han Yajing also bought a vacuum cleaner, a broom, various washbasins, dish soap, bath supplies, and more.

In short, she wanted to take home every kind of item needed for household living.

In the end, including the fruit, the total bill came to nearly thirty thousand yuan for Lin Yi.

The price was so high it left people speechless.

In fact, the fruit alone had cost them over three thousand yuan.

Fortunately, Lin Yi did not have to carry any of these items himself.

Lin Yi's bodyguards, Xing Ming and Wang Wang Wang Guozhang, had followed closely behind the entire time while the couple shopped,

so these things were ultimately carried to the car by the two of them.

About five minutes after leaving the supermarket, the pair rode back to Maoming Mansion.

Han Han Han Yajing immediately began organizing all the items.

She neatly filled the refrigerator with milk, mineral water, and other goods.

All the dinner plates were clean and bright, placed on a dedicated storage rack.

Watching her bustle about like a diligent little squirrel showed she must have done plenty of housework in the past.

To be so beautiful and yet capable in the kitchen as well—

truly, Lin Yi felt that heaven favored him so greatly.

Who wouldn't want a girl like this?

He quietly walked over and suddenly wrapped his arms around Han Han Han Yajing's slender waist from behind.

"Ah... wha... what are you doing?"

Han Meiren was startled at first before realizing what was happening.

"Looking at you, Xiao Jing, I just couldn't help but want to hold you!"

Lin Yi spoke honestly, and then his hands became somewhat restless.

"Don't...!!"

But how could Han Han Han Yajing possibly be a match for Lin Yi?

His lips pressed against hers immediately, and within moments her body went soft as if boneless.

However, Lin Yi knew the time was not yet right to consume this delicacy.

After kissing for a while, Lin Yi let her go.

Han Han Han Yajing, flushed crimson, gave him a charming roll of her eyes and said:

"All day long you just think about bullying me!"

"Hehe!" Lin Yi chuckled, taking it as an admission of guilt.

Given his lecherous behavior, what could Han Han Han Yajing possibly say?

By the time they finished tidying up, it was already quite late.

The two found a restaurant downstairs for a meal, after which Lin Yi escorted her back to school.
