Upon hearing that he had to pay that much money, the boyfriend refused, saying, “That’s too expensive! It’s daylight robbery! I’m using my dad’s card, so I can’t spend that much! He’ll kill me!”
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him warmly. “Relax, I’m not asking you to pay up, since you’re not the person I made the gamble with,” she replied.
Upon hearing this, the girl’s face turned even paler. She tugged at her boyfriend’s shirt tightly and hid behind his back. “I don’t have money! I don’t have that much money even if you kill me!” she said shamelessly.
William cocked his brows and looped a long arm around Mu Xiaoxiao’s shoulders as a mean smile smirked from his handsome face.
“You can always sell yourself if you don’t have money. I have the means to help you out there. Do you want to sell your body or your organs?”
The girl’s legs felt like jelly now. She wailed, “Please, no! Young Master William, I didn’t know that you were acquainted with this girl — I was only joking with her! I really can’t afford it!”
“Shut your nonsense!” an annoyed William roared. He hated it the most when women spoke like this, for their shrill voices hurt his ears.
While the girl tried to stick herself to her boyfriend, he was trying to push her away.
“Bear the burdens of your own folly! I only promised to get you a birthday gift, and I never agreed to gift you something this expensive!”
“Boohoo, what am I supposed to do then?”
William couldn’t stand all the nonsense anymore. He reached out a hand to the girl and said, “Give me your wallet.”
With trembling hands, the girl took her wallet out from her bag and gave it to him.
William fished around the wallet. He ignored the cash but picked out the credit cards.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. “There are so many credit cards?”
There was more than five of them at a glance.
William smiled sinisterly. “I don’t believe there’s not enough money in here if we overdraw all of them!”
Upon hearing this, the girl’s entire body went limp, and her face turned lifeless.
After a few minutes of settling the payment with all the cards, William let the couple go.
He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, waiting.
After a short while, Mu Xiaoxiao finished changing and walked over. Her little face was beaming with joy as she lifted the corners of her skirt and did a little twirl.
“How is it? Isn’t it pretty?”
William gave her a thumbs up. “It looks great! You look good in everything you wear, baby!”
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know if it was because her stint in China had made her not used to being addressed by him like this, but now that things felt like they had returned to the way they were before, it made her feel as though she had never left.
“Okay, let’s go then!” Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t want to change back to her old clothes and was planning to throw them away.
William stretched out an arm and let her hold onto it as he swept a glance around the other clothes in the store.
“Are you only going to buy one? Don’t you want to browse a little more?”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around. “Actually, there are some other clothes that look quite nice…”
“Browse around more then. It’s rare for me to accompany you on such trips, and because I don’t know when I’ll do this with you again, go on and browse some more and buy it if you like it.” He felt that the clothes from this store were quite good.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and said plaintively, “Never mind, I forgot to bring my card…”
William smiled as he looked at her. “Aren’t I here? You look so happy to be back, so I’ll pay for whatever you choose.”
“Really?” Mu Xiaoxiao grinned widely. As this sort of expenditure was nothing to William’s finances, she wasn’t going to stand on ceremony and refuse.
“Buy whatever you want so long as it makes you happy.”
