Chapter 181: Kept in the Dark
Following the clerk, Mo Ziyang looked with interest at all kinds of jewelry in the display cases.
Even though he mainly came to buy a jade bracelet, that didn’t stop him from also glancing at small gold pendants and other pieces.
After a few minutes, he finally stopped in front of one display. His eyes were caught by a light blue bracelet that was completely clear and without any flaws.
“Can you take this one out for me to see?”
Mo Ziyang pointed at the bracelet on the counter, his face showing clear fondness. Seeing that her big customer had picked a bracelet priced in the six figures, the clerk almost wanted to hug the handsome young man in front of her out of excitement.
Not daring to be careless, she carefully took out the light blue bracelet, placed it on the soft cushion on the counter, and pushed it toward Mo Ziyang.
“Sir, is this the one you meant?”
Mo Ziyang nodded lightly, then picked it up and held it under the shop lights.
The bracelet sparkled beautifully. Even under the bright light, not a single impurity could be seen inside. With its faint blue base color, the more Mo Ziyang looked at it, the more he liked it. He almost couldn’t put it down.
Such a beautiful bracelet was perfect as compensation for that pendant earlier.
“Ahem… this is the one.”
He coughed on purpose, then tapped the glass counter lightly, giving the clerk a knowing look.
Catching his signal, the clerk’s eyes lit up. After double-checking the price, she almost shouted in excitement.
A six-figure bracelet! Selling it meant she would earn a commission she could hardly imagine.
So of course, she wouldn’t slack on the little “act” Mo Ziyang had asked her to play along with earlier. She immediately got everything ready.
Just like that, thanks to their smooth teamwork, the six-figure bracelet instantly “turned into” a five-figure bracelet priced just a little over ten thousand. Even on the receipt, the payment record showed only about 15,000 yuan.
This way, Lin Muxi would believe it, and he could explain it naturally too. It was the perfect plan.
Once the bracelet was carefully packed, the clerk handed over the small bag.
“Here you go, sir.”
“Mm.”
Looking at the delicate bracelet in the bag, Mo Ziyang was very satisfied. He immediately called over Lin Muxi, who was still wandering around looking here and there.
“What is it, Mo Ziyang? You already picked one?”
Hearing her good bro call, Lin Muxi ran over curiously when she saw the small bag in his hand.
Mo Ziyang slowly took the bracelet out, then gently held her hand.
“Mm, I already paid. Try it on.”
The moment she heard he had already paid, Lin Muxi’s curious look instantly changed.
“You already paid? Don’t tell me it’s another super expensive bracelet! Did you forget what I told you?”
“Don’t worry, I always listen to my dear wife.”
Hearing him speak so confidently, Lin Muxi gave him a suspicious look. Clearly, she didn’t really believe Mo Ziyang would honestly follow her words.
After all, while she was browsing earlier, she noticed that almost all the bracelets were over ten thousand, with only a few in the lower thousands. Under those circumstances, it was hard for her to believe that Mo Ziyang could really find one under ten thousand.
After Mo Ziyang helped Lin Muxi put the bracelet on her wrist, she quickly took the bag with the receipt inside and searched through it. Sure enough, she found something wrong.
“I told you it had to be under ten thousand! But you bought one for fifteen thousand, didn’t you?”
Holding the receipt in her small hand, Lin Muxi puffed up her cheeks slightly and glared at her good bro angrily. But in her questioning eyes, there was also a hint of pride.
After all, it was rare for her to catch him making a mistake, and she wasn’t going to let go of such a good chance.
But facing his angry little wife, Mo Ziyang simply pulled her closer, rubbed her head lovingly, and then lifted the small hand that now wore the bracelet.
“Honestly, the ones under ten thousand don’t look good at all. Look how beautiful this bracelet is. It only cost a little bit more, right?”
Hearing that, Lin Muxi finally looked carefully at the light blue bracelet on her wrist. The small bracelet was crystal clear, with no flaws at all. At one glance, she could tell it was much, much better than the few-thousand-yuan ones she had seen earlier.
Seeing her stare at the bracelet, the sales clerk who had helped Mo Ziyang earlier quickly chimed in.
“Miss, your boyfriend has great taste. This is the best bracelet in this price range.”
“Really…? I didn’t think you knew about this kind of thing.”
Hearing that, Lin Muxi suddenly turned her head with a look of surprise, staring at her good bro as if she had just made a new discovery.
She hadn’t expected it, first cooking, now picking jade. She realized her good bro seemed to know a lot more than she thought.
Looking at the admiration on her face, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help puffing out his chest a little with pride.
“So, do you like it?”
“Hmph~ Since you picked such a pretty bracelet, I’ll let you off this time.”
“Hahaha.”
Pinching her cute little face, Mo Ziyang held her hand and led her out of the store to continue buying other things.
But for Mo Ziyang, even though the trip was supposed to be about buying daily necessities for university, most of the shopping bags the bodyguards carried were filled with clothes he had chosen for Lin Muxi. Only a few small bags contained the everyday items she bought herself, like shampoo.
After all, for the university dorm, while other students might still need to buy this and that, his parents had already fully prepared the little home for them at school. They really didn’t need to get much else.
So this trip to the mall was basically just Mo Ziyang wanting to buy more pretty clothes for his little wife, so she could wear them for him later.
After a while of shopping, Lin Muxi had almost bought everything she needed. She gently shook the hand holding hers and gave him a questioning look.
“By the way, don’t you need to buy shampoo or something for yourself?”
“No need.”
Mo Ziyang shrugged, showing that it wasn’t necessary at all.
But then, seeing how she was worried about him, he suddenly felt playful. With a mischievous smile, he continued.
“Anyway, since my wife bought it, I can just use hers.”
“Hey… Can you not say embarrassing things so seriously like that?”
Lin Muxi gave him a disdainful glance, then made a small fist and playfully punched him.
Seriously… Ever since she agreed to be his girlfriend, her good bro seemed to be getting more and more shameless. He was nothing like the cool, distant man she used to see him as.
