Chapter 241: Chapter 239: The More You Spoil a Girlfriend, the Cuter She Gets

Ye Ling chuckled and asked in return.

"So smart!"

Ning Ruoxi giggled, looped her arm through Ye Ling’s, and affectionately nuzzled his chest.

"Alright, alright, I’ll buy them for you, okay? You make it sound like I’m some tyrant who doesn’t even let you eat."

Ye Ling sighed helplessly and lovingly pinched her cheek.

And so, even though they had planned to go out and buy gifts today, they ended up wandering through the supermarket and filling a cart to the brim with snacks.

"Good thing we drove the Maybach today. If it were the Pagani, we probably wouldn’t have been able to fit all this," Ye Ling muttered.

"Hehe, my hubby is the best!" Ning Ruoxi laughed innocently.

"What? I didn’t quite catch that. Say it again?"

Ye Ling said, tilting Ning Ruoxi’s chin up.

"Hubby~"

Ning Ruoxi’s voice was soft and sweet, making one feel the urge to devour her in a single bite.

"Good girl. I’ll buy you some more potato chips."

In high spirits, Ye Ling grabbed two large bags of potato chips and tossed them into the cart.

"Hehe, thank you, Hubby!"

Ning Ruoxi excitedly nuzzled against Ye Ling’s chest again.

"Alright, we’ve got enough snacks. Time to buy the gifts, right?"

Ye Ling said with a small smile.

"Mhm!"

Ning Ruoxi nodded obediently, as docile as a little kitten.

’This is how girlfriends are. The more you dote on them, the more obedient and adorable they become.’

Ye Ling took Ning Ruoxi’s hand and headed toward the alcohol and tobacco section.

"My dad doesn’t smoke, so we just need to buy some alcohol,"

Ning Ruoxi said.

"My dad doesn’t smoke either."

"And you’re not allowed to smoke either! People who smoke stink! If you dare to smoke, you’re not allowed in bed anymore!"

Ning Ruoxi huffed.

"As you command, my queen."

Ye Ling said with a hint of resignation.

’I don’t even smoke, okay?’

"You and your girlfriend are so sweet together."

A saleswoman walking by couldn’t help but sigh in admiration at the scene overflowing with PDA.

"Thank you."

Ye Ling smiled politely.

Seeing Ye Ling’s smile, the saleswoman froze on the spot.

WAAAH!

’This guy is way too handsome!?’

Ning Ruoxi, who was standing beside him, naturally saw what the saleswoman was thinking. She immediately tightened her grip on Ye Ling’s arm and gave his waist a subtle pinch.

"HISS..."

Ye Ling sucked in a sharp breath and shot the girl a puzzled look.

’What did I do now?’

’She was so docile just a moment ago, why is she pinching me now...’

"Could you recommend some wine for us? You see, I’m going to his house for the Spring Festival to meet his father, so I want to prepare some gifts."

Ning Ruoxi deliberately ignored Ye Ling’s aggrieved gaze and spoke to the saleswoman with a beaming smile.

"Ah... of course."

The saleswoman snapped back to reality, a pang of disappointment in her heart.

’So...’

’This guy and his girlfriend are already at the ’meeting the parents’ stage?’

’Looks like I don’t have a chance.’

Ye Ling, however, now had a slight curve to his lips as he watched Ning Ruoxi with a grin.

’It seems... I get what’s going on now!’

’She’s staking her claim!’

"What are you staring at me for?"

This time, Ning Ruoxi didn’t ignore Ye Ling, letting out a small huff.

"Nothing. I just think you look a little cute when you’re jealous."

Ye Ling whispered, leaning close to Ning Ruoxi’s ear.

"Who’s jealous."

Ning Ruoxi mumbled, her pretty face flushing slightly.

"Please follow me, you two."

The saleswoman had naturally noticed Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi’s little exchange, but she chose to ignore it. She couldn’t help it; the PDA was just too much.

"I recommend a bottle of wine: a Petrus Pomerol, France, produced in 1998 at the Petrus Vineyard."

The saleswoman guided Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi, explaining:

"The Petrus Vineyard may not be as famous as the Lafite Vineyard, but in reality, Petrus is considered a tier above Lafite, even known as the ’King of Bordeaux’."

"Just tell me the price."

Ye Ling waved his hand dismissively.

He hadn’t studied wine much. The only ones he knew a little about were Lafite, which he heard about most often, and Romanée-Conti, which was constantly mentioned in web novels.

"This bottle is priced at 73,900 yuan."

The saleswoman immediately understood what Ye Ling meant and stated the price.

"How many bottles are there in total?"

Ye Ling asked casually.

Hearing this, the saleswoman was taken aback for a moment.

’He’s asking how many bottles there are, which means... he’s planning to just buy them?’

’In fact, before this, I was thinking he might try to haggle...’

’After all, over 70,000 yuan for a bottle of wine is not something an ordinary person can afford!’

"There are four bottles in total."

The saleswoman composed herself and replied.

"I’ll take all four then."

Ye Ling said with a faint smile.

"No, don’t! It’s too expensive."

But Ning Ruoxi tugged on Ye Ling’s arm and whispered, "One bottle is enough. This one can be for your dad, and then we can buy a cheaper one for mine."

"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Isn’t your dad my dad? We’re all one family."

Ye Ling ruffled the girl’s hair and added, "It’s perfect. Two bottles for your dad, and two for mine. It fits the saying ’good things come in pairs’."

At that moment, the saleswoman felt a wave of PDA wash over her. But this time, it was different from before—it was laced with the scent of money!

’Damn it.’

’’Good things come in pairs, so take all four?’’

’Easy for you to say, but one bottle is over 70,000! Taking all four means over two hundred and eighty thousand, almost two hundred and ninety thousand yuan!’

Still, the saleswoman was truly envious of Ning Ruoxi.

Even though Ning Ruoxi had said not to buy something so expensive and even suggested getting cheaper wine for her own father, Ye Ling insisted on buying it!

’What kind of fairytale romance is this?’

"Just run the card. And please, could you wrap them up in two pairs?"

Ye Ling handed his bank card to the saleswoman.

"Yes, of course!"

A brilliant smile spread across the saleswoman’s face as she quickly took the card and hurried to get everything ready.

Even if she didn’t have this kind of sweet romance, Ye Ling had just bought 280,000 yuan worth of wine in one go. Her commission would probably be 10,000 yuan!

Plenty of people looked at this kind of high-end luxury wine, but not many could actually bring themselves to buy it.

It was just too expensive!

And someone like Ye Ling, who bought all four at once, was the first she had ever seen.

With the wine bought, Ye Ling planned to buy a gift for his mother-in-law next.

However, when they arrived at the skincare section, he couldn’t help but get a headache looking at the dazzling array of bottles and jars.

"Wifey, care to make a recommendation?"

Ye Ling didn’t hesitate to ask Ning Ruoxi for help.

"Um, how about this set from La Roche-Posay? The value is quite good."

Ning Ruoxi pouted, glanced around, and then spoke.

Ye Ling took a look. The set Ning Ruoxi had chosen had essence, face cream, and so on... He didn’t look too closely; after all, he wouldn’t have understood it even if he did.

’But... the price seems a little cheap.’

’Seven or eight bottles and jars, plus a few face masks, and it only costs a few thousand yuan?’

"I’m not too happy with the price."

Ye Ling shook his head and said,

"We’re not looking for value. Since it’s for my mother-in-law, we have to buy the best."

"La Roche-Posay is good enough..."

Ning Ruoxi began to say.

"Think about it. I bought our dad wine that costs 70,000 yuan a bottle. If we only buy a few thousand yuan worth of skincare for our mom, how would that look?"

Ye Ling interrupted her.

Hearing him casually say "our dad" and "our mom," Ning Ruoxi’s face flushed a delicate shade of pink.

’This guy...’

’How did he get so comfortable saying that?’

"Don’t just say that. Be careful, or you’ll have a slip of the tongue when you’re at my house."

Ning Ruoxi huffed.

"Not scared."

But Ye Ling replied with a look of disdain, "It’s just meeting the mother-in-law and father-in-law, right? Would I, Ye Ling, be afraid?"

"Really not scared?"

Ning Ruoxi looked at Ye Ling with a grin.

"Not scared!"

Ye Ling said smugly.
