Holy cow. Getting over a million yuan back from buying a phone was truly unexpected.

She’d thought she’d get a few hundred thousand back, maybe a million at most, but she never expected Sister Tongzi to be so generous.

Shen Yanzhi asked with a touch of amusement, "Are you really going to fight me over paying for this?"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. "How can I let you pay? You’re my man, after all!"

However, Shen Yanzhi heard a different meaning in her words. He asked excitedly, "So in your heart, that means Zhao Sinian was never really your man, right?"

After all, Jiang Li never bought Zhao Sinian a car, a house, or a villa.

Jiang Li shrugged. "He was never my man to begin with."

’Still, it was a bit sad to think about. If he hadn’t listened to his mother and suddenly demanded a higher betrothal gift, the person by her side right now would have been Zhao Sinian.’

’No wonder they say an unlucky person won’t find their way into a lucky family. There’s some truth to that.’

’It was a good thing she saw Zhao Sinian’s true colors before they got married. Otherwise, she would have been the one to suffer.’

’She just wondered when exactly Zhao Sinian had gone so rotten.’

’Back then, he’d saved her without a second thought. But now, he’d abandon her for a million yuan.’

Shen Yanzhi said, his tone a little sour, "Then why were you with him for so long?"

’Five whole years!’

’How could he not be jealous?!’

"That’s because back then..." Before Jiang Li could finish, the salesperson suddenly cut in, "Ma’am, which color would you like?"

Fearing Jiang Li might not know the options, she added, "We have them in three colors: Mystic Black, Pearl White, and Hibiscus Purple."

Jiang Li thought for a moment. "In that case, let’s get some of each color."

’She definitely wanted purple for herself.’

’Purple just had more character.’

As if he knew what Jiang Li was thinking, Shen Yanzhi spoke up, "Four purple, two black, and two white."

Jiang Li looked at him suspiciously. "Why four purple ones?"

Shen Yanzhi explained, "The purple ones are for us and Second Brother’s family. Mom and Dad can use the black and white ones."

’Hmm, that’s pretty reasonable.’

Once the phones were bagged, Jiang Li immediately gave Xu Shijie a look. He stepped forward and took all eight shopping bags, and the group swept off majestically to raid other stores.

’Since they were already here, they certainly couldn’t go home empty-handed.’

’The plan was to buy phones, but it wasn’t *just* about buying phones.’

They went to the supermarket for fruit and snacks, to the cosmetics store for some makeup safe for pregnant women, to the mother-and-baby store for pure cotton pajamas and underwear, to a clothing store for different styles of clothes for the men in the family, and to a luxury boutique for jewelry for the women...

After one trip out, forget about the money they’d spent—the cashback alone added up to an astronomical amount.

Seeing the four bodyguards laden with bags of all sizes, Shen Yanzhi rubbed the tip of his nose and said cautiously, "I think... maybe we should shop at this mall a little less often."

’Every shopping trip was like they were moving. Even with all the money in the world, they couldn’t keep spending like this.’

’Besides, shopping with Jiang Li was a real workout. She never seemed to get tired. As soon as they finished one store, it was on to the next, as if she were powered by a perpetual motion machine.’

Jiang Li stopped, put her hands on her hips, and looked up at Shen Yanzhi. "What’s wrong? You think I’m spending too much money?"

’Shen Yanzhi broke out in a cold sweat. What had he said to make Jiang Li angry?’

After a frantic brainstorm, he finally explained, "That’s not what I meant. It’s just that you have to walk so much every time we shop. I’m worried you’ll get tired if you walk too much."

Jiang Li scoffed. "Then why don’t you just buy the whole mall for me? That way I can shop from the comfort of a rocking chair."

Shen Yanzhi bit his lip. "I’ll work on it. I don’t have the resources for that just yet."

’To buy an entire mall, you’d need at least a few billion, maybe even tens of billions.’

’He didn’t have that much liquid capital right now. It was definitely impossible in the short term.’

Jiang Li reached up and patted Shen Yanzhi’s shoulder. "It’s okay. I believe you can do it."

’Since Shen Yanzhi didn’t want to go to the office, if she wanted to keep him busy, she had to give him some motivation.’

’She could buy the mall herself, of course, but if she could actually get Shen Yanzhi to buy it for her, it would make for a wonderful story.’

Shen Yanzhi’s eyes narrowed as he made up his mind. "Don’t worry. I’ll definitely be able to buy it for you before the baby is born."
