Chapter 446 - 445: Then... I’ll Spend It Now?

However, to Yun Zijin’s pleasant surprise, Xu Qin from Hermes sent her a message about a "daytime" house bag.

She immediately messaged Xu Qin to reserve it. As for the required quota purchase, Yun Zijin didn’t give it a second thought.

’No matter how much it costs, I have to have it!’

The fact that Xu Qin had sent her the offer proved that as long as Yun Zijin met the quota, the bag was guaranteed to be hers.

Besides the Hermes "house bag," Yun Zijin also set her sights on a few watches and contacted her SAs to reserve them all.

And just like that, this week’s spending quota was effortlessly met.

Lu Yunque glanced up at Yun Zijin from time to time, and seeing the smile on her face, he suddenly grew curious.

"What’s making you so happy?"

Since he wanted to know, Lu Yunque asked her directly.

"I just spent 24 million. I’m happy."

The words just tumbled out of Yun Zijin’s mouth, simple as that.

Lu Yunque checked his phone but saw no spending notification, so he knew Yun Zijin hadn’t used the supplementary card he gave her.

"Why didn’t you use the card I gave you?"

He worked himself to the bone every day to earn money for his girlfriend to spend, but in all this time, Lu Yunque had hardly ever seen her use his card.

’My girlfriend is too rich and won’t spend my money. What do I do? Waiting for answers online, it’s urgent.’

"I have my own money. It wouldn’t look right for me to always be spending yours."

’Even if I were to spend his money, it would only be after we’re married.’

When it came to this, Yun Zijin was very principled.

’Besides, I have a spending quota to meet. If I spend his money, I won’t complete my quota, and that’s just not an option!’

Lu Yunque didn’t know about Yun Zijin’s spending quota. All he knew was that his girlfriend was unwilling to spend his money, and he felt a little frustrated.

Lu Yunque walked over to Yun Zijin, sat down beside her, and pulled her into his embrace, burying his face in the crook of her neck.

"You’ve barely spent my money at all. If you don’t, I’ll lose all my motivation to earn it."

Lu Yunque’s tone was aggrieved. ’These days, why is it so hard to get your girlfriend to spend your money?’

"Then... I’ll spend some now?"

’I think there were a few new items from some other SAs that I didn’t buy, mostly because they weren’t my style.’

’But my walk-in closet is huge, so it wouldn’t hurt to stock up on a few different styles... ’

"Spend it!"

Lu Yunque picked up the tablet from the table and logged into his work WeChat. "I buy gifts for my mom and my grandmothers, so I’m a VIC at all the major brands. A lot of SAs on here send me new arrivals. You can take a look."

"If you like anything, just transfer the payment and have them deliver it to either Xingyu Mansion or Jade Lake."

Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin had similar status levels with the brands, but since he was a male client, the new items he was offered were sometimes different from hers.

Many luxury items were unisex; it was up to the SAs to decide which new arrivals were a good fit for which client.

Yun Zijin was also quite curious to see the difference between what her SAs sent and what Lu Yunque’s sent. Without any ceremony, she took the tablet from his hand and set her own aside.

"Let me see."

The SAs’ names in his contacts stood out, so Yun Zijin found them in Lu Yunque’s work WeChat almost instantly.

Yun Zijin tapped open the messages from the SAs in order.

Many were the same new arrivals her own SAs had sent her, some were styles more suited to Lu Yunque, and there were also quite a few limited-edition pieces.

Yun Zijin scrolled through the messages from each SA, making a note of everything she liked.

Before long, she had a whole list and began messaging the SAs one by one.

She didn’t let a single item she liked get away.

As for payment, since Lu Yunque insisted she spend his money, Yun Zijin simply used his WeChat to make the transfers.

When it was all tallied up, Yun Zijin had just spent nearly another ten million.

Meanwhile, when Lu Yunque received the text message alerts for the bank payments, he couldn’t stop smiling.

"Well done. Keep it up in the future."

Lu Yunque genuinely wanted Yun Zijin to spend his money; he wasn’t just paying lip service.

"I have my own money; I can’t spend yours every day."

’If I did that, I could forget about completing my spending quota.’

"Save your money. It’s only natural for a girlfriend to spend her boyfriend’s money."

Lu Yunque really couldn’t understand why Yun Zijin disliked spending his money.

Anyone else would have been hitting the major shopping malls the moment they got the supplementary card.

But this was Yun Zijin. From the moment she got his supplementary card until now, this was the very first time she had used his money, and she had done it through his WeChat, not the card.

"That’s just twisted logic."

’What does he mean, it’s only natural for a girlfriend to spend her boyfriend’s money? Strictly speaking, a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship isn’t legally protected.’

’Even married couples need to get consent before spending money.’

"I don’t care. If you don’t spend it, I feel unsettled."

All the girlfriends Lu Yunque saw in his social circle were constantly trying to get their men to buy them bags, cars, and houses.

He just couldn’t understand why, when it came to him, even after he’d brought it up countless times, Yun Zijin remained so "stubbornly set in her ways."

If word of this got out, people would think the Lu Family was going bankrupt—the distinguished President and Chairman of the Lu Family had never even bought his girlfriend a single purse.

"Then... I’ll do my best in the future."

’Looks like, on top of my weekly spending quota, I’ll have to make time for a separate shopping spree with Lu Yunque’s card.’

"It’s not ’do your best,’ it’s ’you must’!"

Lu Yunque felt that if he wasn’t more forceful, Yun Zijin would just shove the supplementary card he gave her into the back of a drawer and let it collect dust.

"Alright, alright, I’ll spend it."

’Sigh... who could possibly understand? My biggest problem every day is figuring out how to spend all my money.’

Yun Zijin sighed silently, then flopped onto the sofa, looking genuinely troubled.

"By the way, the auction invitations are ready. This one is for you, a special, custom handwritten version."

Lu Yunque handed Yun Zijin a delicate pink invitation. The text inside had been written out, word for word, by Lu Yunque himself with a fountain pen.

The handwriting was forceful and vigorous; seeing the script was like seeing the man himself. The moment she saw it, the only two words that filled Yun Zijin’s mind were "Lu Yunque."

"Is it just for me? Don’t you forget about Minister Yan’s."

Yun Zijin reminded Lu Yunque.

"Don’t worry, I won’t forget. I’ve already prepared them."

However, no one else received the special treatment of a personally handwritten invitation.

Lu Yunque took out a bag containing the auction invitations he had prepared.

He took one invitation from the bag. "This one’s for Minister Yan. Should I have someone deliver it, or should he come pick it up himself?"

The mention of Yan Shutang suddenly reminded Yun Zijin of something.

"I’ll give Uncle Yan a call and ask him."

Yun Zijin didn’t know if Yan Shutang intended to go himself or pass the invitation on to someone else, so it was better to call and clarify.
