Chapter 60.2: Ji Lin, do you realize that you spent half a million for me just now?

Bai Duanduan tried her best to awaken Ji Lin’s rationality by implying, “I have a bit of decision-making difficulty. If you let me choose like this, I won’t know which color to pick for a moment. And I’m a bit obsessive-compulsive when shopping. I have to try all these lipstick shades and compare them horizontally and vertically before making a decision. But that’s too time-consuming. Let’s go to other counters and see other things. I’m not really in need of lipstick…”

After hearing this, Ji Lin finally seemed to get it and nodded thoughtfully, “Time waste is indeed a problem, so let’s skip the swatching.”

Thank goodness, this man finally returned to normal!

Unfortunately, before Bai Duanduan could fully relax, she heard Ji Lin calmly and coolly say—

“Give me one of each shades, please.” He thought for a while and added, “By the way, did Tom Ford release a 50-piece gift box? Do you have that?”

The saleswoman had a look of enthusiasm and said, “Yes, sir, we have this gift set.”

Bai Duanduan was shocked, “How did you know there was this gift set?” She didn’t even know about it! How could this man, Ji Lin, know about it?!

Ji Lin, however, was very calm, “Oh, my mom mentioned it once.”

Soon, after Ji Lin paid the bill, he calmly picked up the 50 lipsticks and continued to stroll alongside Bai Duanduan and Tang Li under Bai Duanduan’s gaze.

Of course, Ji Lin’s extravagant spending had a remarkable effect. Tang Li’s face was already so envious that she seemed a bit dejected. Just now, Bai Duanduan saw her unhappily typing something on her phone, probably complaining to Tian Mu.

Fortunately, shopping really can cure the soul. In no time, Tang Li bought a bag, shoes, and a scarf from several luxury stores, and her mood improved a little. Unfortunately, Bai Duanduan’s mood along the way became increasingly uneasy and distressed.

Every time they entered a store, even if she clearly expressed that she didn’t like the style, Ji Lin would still pick out things for her to buy, and almost all of them were the most expensive things in the store…

Although to be honest, Ji Lin’s taste was really good, and the things he picked out were very suitable for her and also things she liked, but Bai Duanduan’s budget for buying bags, shoes and clothes recently wasn’t that high!

The only comforting thing was that because of his overly realistic CEO image, while Tang Li was envious, her complaints and disappointment towards Tian Mu were becoming more and more intense. In a moment, when Ji Lin went to pay again, Tang Li lowered her head to send WeChat messages, and her face completely fell.

In a little while, her phone rang, and Bai Duanduan finally confirmed that her not-so-clever provocation had a miraculous effect on Tang Li’s simple mind – she had an argument with Tian Mu.

It was probably due to an unpleasant conversation on WeChat, and now Tian Mu called to coax her.

But after being stimulated all the way by Bai Duanduan and Ji Lin, Tang Li couldn’t feel happy at all, and immediately acted out her petulance, “Husband, why do you always say you’re busy and can’t come out and go shopping with me?”

________________

Tang Li glanced at Bai DuanDuan and walked to a secluded place to ensure that Bai DuanDuan could not hear her. Then she lowered her voice and complained, “And when can we spend money as we wish? When can that commission your company promised you be paid? Today I saw two Hermes bags, both very beautiful, but my credit card limit was not enough, so I could only choose one. It made me so sad. You said developing games can earn a lot of money, but why do I always feel like we don’t have enough money? Are you really working hard at home or are you just pretending to be busy and not wanting to go shopping with me?”

Once she started complaining, Tang Li’s sense of grievance came flooding out. She was originally an ordinary girl from a not-so-great family background and with an average education. It was through a friend’s introduction that she met Tian Mu through a blind date. Given the circumstances at the time, Tian Mu, who had simple family relations, strong earning ability, and complete control over his own money, was undoubtedly a good match for her. In fact, she had climbed up the social ladder by marrying Tian Mu.

At the beginning of their relationship, Tang Li always felt inferior, thinking that she had nothing to offer besides being young and reasonably attractive. However, although Tian Mu was not particularly handsome, he was very gentle with her and always willing to give her what she wanted. If she showed any interest in something, he would buy it for her.

Eventually, Tang Li and Tian Mu got together and got married. Tian Mu doted on her like a precious treasure, both before and after the wedding. He continued to fulfill her every desire. Over time, Tang Li’s vanity and desire for shopping grew alongside Tian Mu’s love and care for her. Soon, she went from being happy with any gift she received to needing something special and expensive to be happy.

It’s easy to become extravagant after being frugal, and Tang Li’s vanity and desire for shopping grew as Tian Mu pampered her. With her newfound affluence, Tang Li learned how to dress and do her makeup. She also frequented many high-end restaurants and places with Tian Mu, increasing her knowledge and taste. In addition, she became a popular social media influencer, known as a “rich and beautiful” internet celebrity.

Although she knew that all of this was given to her by Tian Mu, it was inevitable that at this time, Tang Li’s heart began to feel a bit unbalanced.

Following her group of social media influencer sisters, she was able to expand her circle of wealthy second-generation contacts, meet more bosses and rich men, and even though she was already married, she had no shortage of pursuers. At this time, although she tried to control herself, her feelings towards Tian Mu began to sour somewhat.

In the past, she was indeed climbing up the social ladder by being with Tian Mu, but now, wasn’t it Tian Mu who was climbing up by being with her?

If she were unmarried now, she could definitely find a man several times better than Tian Mu.

Although Tian Mu was good to her, there were other pursuers who had treated her similarly in the past. Tian Mu was not even that wealthy, and she could not buy things without looking at the price tag every time…

Looking back at her friend Xiao Rui and her boyfriend…

Why?

Just because the other person is still single while she herself has already gotten married early.
