"Alright, I'll pack it up right away, don't be shy, young lady, it's normal to fall in love at your age. Look how much your boyfriend cares about you—you two are a perfect couple." The saleswoman was a middle-aged lady, damn good at reading faces and a real chatterbox, but the more she talked, the more smug Li Bin felt.
"No, no!~~ Brother!! This dress is too expensive! You already lent me 100,000 yuan—I can't let you spend more!" Wen Lan, flustered by the saleswoman's remarks, felt uneasy about Li Bin spending even more cash. As she tugged at him gently, she accidentally pressed his arm against her chest.
Li Bin shivered, feeling a soft, full sensation against his arm.
He snuck a quick glance at his sister-in-law's chest. Though Wen Lan was younger than his wife Wenwan, her breasts were noticeably bigger.
Maybe from her habit of dancing and working out, Wen Lan's tits were plump and firm, visible even through her clothes, jiggling with every move she made, driving Li Bin wild with desire.
"No big deal, it's just one piece of clothing. Now that my books are selling hot, I'm pulling in a few grand a month—it's not a stretch." Li Bin grinned, reaching out to lightly pat Wen Lan's hand.
He wasn't exactly a pro at picking up chicks, but Li Bin knew some basics. He'd been hunting for chances to get physical with Wen Lan.
This trick, in the art of seduction, is called "kino."
Through steady physical contact, you slowly get the other person used to your touch, building affection and lowering their guard to set up for more intimate moves.
He'd picked up this hack from an online novel writer he was obsessed with.
"For real, you're that successful now?! Why didn't you tell Dad yesterday? I was so pissed seeing you get humiliated like that—if Dad knew you made in three months what he makes in a year, he'd be too embarrassed to even show his face, haha~~" Wen Lan looked at him with surprise and admiration shining in her eyes.
"I'm so jealous—you're chasing your dream and killing it~~ Sigh~~"
"What's there to say? When my book gets published and turned into a TV series or movie, and I buy a mansion and a luxury car, everyone'll get it. You too—I'm damn sure you'll be a big star someday." Li Bin shook his head, playing it cool.
Truth is, yesterday when his father-in-law was chewing him out, he was broke as hell—hadn't even signed a contract for his new book, totally fucked financially.
Getting reamed out was unavoidable. If he'd had this million yesterday, Li Bin would've whipped out the cash right there and smacked his father-in-law in the face with it. But now that the moment had passed, flashing a million for a flex wouldn't hit the same.
He'd wait till he'd won over his sister-in-law, nabbed that reward to become a legendary author, then he'd flex hard.
"Sir, ma'am, here's your packaged clothing—680 yuan total. Card or cash?" The saleswoman looked at Li Bin eagerly, flashing a knowing grin.
Li Bin, despite being young, looked older, while Wen Lan was obviously an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old college girl. Together, they could easily be mistaken for an older guy keeping a young mistress.
"Alipay." Right now, the only thing Li Bin had with money was his Alipay account.
"Ding! Alipay received: 680 yuan."
With the shop counter's announcement, Li Bin grabbed the clothes and handed them to Wen Lan: "Done, it's yours now."

"Brother-in-law, you've spent way too much on me~~ Thanks, brother-in-law~~ I'll buy you an outfit too." Wen Lan looked at him with a shy smile, her eyes sparkling with joy, and hooked her arm around Li Bin's, beaming bright.
"Deal." Li Bin nodded with a grin, soaking up the feeling of his sister-in-law clinging to him.
"Hey, Wen Lan, there's an LV store over there—I was just thinking of getting a belt. Let's check it out." Li Bin faked surprise, pointing at the LV shop not far off, and casually grabbed Wen Lan's hand, heading over.
"Huh?~~" Wen Lan let out a little yelp of shock—this was the first time a guy besides her dad had held her hand.
At first, Wen Lan wanted to pull away, but seeing how natural Li Bin was, like a brother holding his sister's hand, she just bit her lip shyly and let it happen.
Even though she'd been dating her boyfriend Zhao Jiahao for over half a year, their relationship was lukewarm, and Wen Lan was pretty conservative. Poor Zhao Jiahao hadn't even held her hand yet, and now Li Bin had swooped in, claiming her first hand-hold.
