Not a single salesperson came up to greet them, clearly accustomed to their behavior. The two girls were probably not first-timers here looking at bags. But every time, they only looked, never buying, so the staff didn't bother to approach them.

Xia Liang raised an eyebrow. "Bao'er, do you really like this bag?"

Hearing Xia Liang's words, Bao'er subconsciously snapped back, "So what if I do? None of your business. Can you even afford it?"

"Bao'er, don't be like that. He's your mother's boyfriend, after all," Jin Na interjected. Though not particularly fond of Xia Liang, she spoke up to mediate for the sake of her best friend's mother.

Her words had no effect on Bao'er.

Xia Liang noted their reactions and couldn't help but develop a slightly better impression of Jin Na. This girl isn't bad. She has manners.

Xia Liang pointed at the bag. "As long as you like it, I'll buy you ten of them, let alone just one."

Hearing this, Lin Baor shot him a look of disdain. "Such big talk. Forget ten—if you can afford even one, I'll call you 'Dad'. How about it?"

Xia Liang chuckled. "You said it. Don't go back on your word later."

Lin Baor huffed. "I always mean what I say. But what if you can't afford it? Then I want you to leave my mom. Do you dare?"

Xia Liang nodded instantly. "Fine!"

He then turned to a salesperson by the entrance and said, "Excuse me, could you wrap this bag for me?"

After that, he glanced at the bag in Jin Na's hands and brandished his bank card with a grand wave. "Wrap hers up too. I'm buying both!"

Lin Baor watched his grandiose manner with utter contempt. Go on, keep acting. When you can't afford it later, don't blame me for embarrassing you.

But in the next moment, a dumbfounding scene unfolded before her eyes.

Several salespeople scrambled to take Xia Liang's bank card. They completed the transaction, took the bags from her and Jin Na, and swiftly packaged them with complimentary gifts before presenting them to the two girls.

How could this be possible!

Lin Baor and her friend were instantly stupefied. They had experienced firsthand how snobbish the salespeople at Prada were. How could these people be so deferential to Xia Liang, actually believing he could buy two bags?

And the transaction went through!

The two bags together cost a whopping two hundred thousand Yuan!

Is... is this a setup? No, no, that's not right. Could it be that this delivery guy really has that much money?!

Little did they know, these luxury goods salespeople were all exceptionally shrewd. The moment Xia Liang had walked in, they had set their sights on him. Although Xia Liang was wearing a food delivery vest, the clothes and watch he wore underneath were worth over ten million Yuan. How could someone who could afford a twelve-million-Yuan watch not be able to buy two bags worth a hundred thousand each?

Seeing their astonished faces, Xia Liang smiled. "Now, what were you supposed to do?"

His words snapped Lin Baor back to reality. Recalling her earlier promise, she gritted her teeth and called out in a low voice, "Dad… Daddy!"

Jin Na chimed in, "Daddy!"

Once she finally called him 'Daddy', Xia Liang nodded in satisfaction. But the next second, he was taken aback and looked at her friend, Jin Na. Wait a minute! Why is she joining in? Forget it...

Xia Liang shook his head and, after a moment's thought, took out his phone. "Here, add your dad on WeChat."

Bao'er was still in a complete daze and subconsciously took out her phone.

Once Xia Liang added her, Bao'er asked, "What are you doing?"

Xia Liang didn't say a word; he just tapped the transfer button.

When Lin Baor saw the amount, her eyes widened in shock. Five million Yuan!

That wasn't all. She noticed he hadn't selected his bank account but his wallet balance. And the balance was a full 700 million Yuan!

Oh my god! What is happening?!

Lin Baor and Jin Na felt their heads spinning.

After completing the transfer, Xia Liang patted Bao'er on the shoulder. "Consider this a reward for calling me 'Dad'. It's some pocket money for you. No need to tell your mom. Come home early tonight. I'm off to make some deliveries."

With that, Xia Liang turned and left.

It took a long while for Lin Baor to come to her senses. She stared blankly at Jin Na. "Nana, pinch me. I think I must be dreaming."

Jin Na didn't hesitate and gave Lin Baor's hand a firm pinch.

HISS.

Ignoring the sting in her hand, Lin Baor broke into a wide, happy grin. "It hurts! It's real! It's real!"

Jin Na had also recovered, looking at Lin Baor with envy. "Didn't you say he was a food delivery guy? How can a delivery guy have so much money?" After all, she had just seen it herself—that was a full 700 million Yuan!

Lin Baor's previous gloominess had vanished, replaced by pure excitement. "How would I know?"

Jin Na couldn't help but feel a little jealous. "You're so lucky. You call him 'Dad' once and get five million Yuan."

"Hehehe!" Lin Baor quickly consoled her. "Alright, alright, what's mine is yours, right? Weren't you eyeing a pair of shoes earlier? My treat!"

"That's more like it!"

The two of them then hurried off towards the shoe store, their hearts now filled with curiosity about Xia Liang.

On the other side of town, Xia Liang went home after delivering ten orders. He didn't go to Gan Mengzhu's place, simply calling to say he was busy. After all, he still had to take Xi Yiqian and Luu Qi out to play tomorrow.

When he got home, Luu Qi and Xi Yiqian were sitting on the couch watching TV. Seeing Xia Liang return, Xi Yiqian's face immediately lit up with joy.

Noticing this, Luu Qi muttered, "Bro, don't you forget, you promised to take us out tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I won't," Xia Liang readily agreed.

「The next morning」

The still-sleeping Xia Liang was roused by Luu Qi. "Hurry, bro! Let's get going."

"What time is it?" Xia Liang was speechless. It was only 9 a.m. They rarely get a day off, so why not rest a bit more?

But since he had promised, Xia Liang didn't dally. He got right out of bed.

After they had washed up and eaten breakfast, the three of them set out.

In the car, Luu Qi couldn't help but ask, "Bro, where are we going?"

"You'll know when we get there," Xia Liang said mysteriously.

Seeing that Xia Liang wouldn't say, Luu Qi stopped asking and began whispering with Xi Yiqian.

「An hour later」

「Qingyun Seaport」

This was a massive civilian port with a seemingly endless coastline, almost entirely filled with various cargo ships, ferries, and yachts, creating a spectacular sight.

"Wow! Bro, did you bring us to see the sea?" Luu Qi asked.

"Yeah," Xia Liang nodded, turning his gaze to Xi Yiqian, who was nearby.

It was rare to see Xi Yiqian so excited. She was leaning on the railing, gazing at the boundless expanse of the sea before her. Growing up, she had hardly ever gone out for fun. So, aside from mountain streams, she had never even seen the sea. Seeing it for the first time, she was naturally overjoyed.

Xia Liang patted her head. "Excited already? Wait until we get out on the water. That's when it gets really beautiful."

Xi Yiqian nodded obediently, her eyes filled with excitement.
