But after thinking it over hard, Wen Lan still shook her head and forced a smile: "No, brother-in-law, I'm not really into bags—I wouldn't use it even if we bought it. Let's get something else, come on~~"
Wen Lan said this because she didn't want Li Bin blowing more cash on her—it was a pride thing—so she pretended the bag wasn't her thing.
If it was the old Li Bin, he might've bought her bullshit. But now, Li Bin could see Wen Lan's status floating clear as day above her head.
[Current status: Desire, indecision, pain, excitement, sadness, reluctance]
"Wrap this up, I'll take it." Li Bin grinned with understanding and told the saleswoman with some damn authority.
"Right away, sir! I'll pack it up now."
Watching the saleswoman carefully wrap the bag in luxe packaging, Wen Lan was totally floored—her cheeks flushed red, and she looked at Li Bin with eyes brimming with excitement and joy.
"Brother-in-law~~"
Li Bin waved it off with a smile, pulling out his phone. This revenge-spending vibe, dropping cash like it's nothing, felt fucking awesome.
Li Bin had never felt so free, so indulgent. After being dirt-poor his whole life, always scrimping, now that he had money, buying whatever the hell he wanted beat everything else.
No wonder newly rich folks go nuts buying mansions, luxury cars, and all kinds of high-end shit after striking it big. Only in those wild spending sprees, snagging stuff they never dared dream of before, can you feel that sweet, vengeful payoff.
It's like someone parched for ages spotting a mountain spring and itching to dive in and guzzle till they're full.
Li Bin had been so scared of running dry that even buying a new shirt used to mean agonizing over prices forever. That broke-ass life? Li Bin was done with it.
Now, he just wanted to shop like a maniac, letting out all the pent-up cravings from the past few years.
"Beep~~" the counter chimed: "Alipay received: fifteen thousand yuan."
Li Bin grabbed the LV bag and handed it to Wen Lan with a grin: "It's yours now."
"Brother-in-law~~ I~~" Wen Lan stared at the luxe bag Li Bin offered, frozen in shock. This was the bag she and her friends had lusted after forever!
And now, she'd scored it just like that.
If she rocked this back to school, her friends would be green with envy.
And that roommate of hers, always bragging about her cheap-ass LV bag, would have the juiciest look on her face.
Thinking about it, Wen Lan's heart raced, her face went full red—she was so hyped she couldn't even talk. Her gratitude and affection for Li Bin just kept climbing.
She felt like Li Bin could read her damn mind, always hitting her with comfort right where she needed it. Wen Lan snuck a glance at him, catching his kind, attentive smile, and her heart did a little flip.
Before, Wen Lan had kinda looked down on Li Bin, wondering how her gorgeous, talented sister ended up with such an ordinary, seemingly useless guy.
But now, all of a sudden, Wen Lan was a bit jealous of her sister Wenwan.
Compared to Zhao Jiahao, Li Bin's maturity, tenderness, understanding, and generosity were insanely attractive, making her feel dependent and a little awestruck, wanting to get closer to him.

[Intimacy: +10 (84 Intimate)]
With the system's prompts, Li Bin had a fucking epiphany—he could hardly believe he'd turned into a pro at picking up women.
Before, Wen Lan was like some untouchable swan to him, while he saw himself as a toad.
Facing the beautiful, lively, charming Wen Lan, Li Bin used to feel shy and awkward, too chicken to even talk to her. He liked her a ton but didn't dare make a move.
It was like back in school, pining over the class beauty with a hopeless crush, too scared to act, just watching other guys hit on her while he ate his heart out.
But now, the goddess-like sister-in-law wasn't so out of reach anymore.
In just two days, their intimacy level had shot up fast, hitting 84.
Only 100 would lock in a guaranteed hookup, fully conquering the sister-in-law of his dreams.
The thought alone got Li Bin pumped.
And then there was the system reward after nailing Wen Lan—a masterpiece worth ten million.
That was Li Bin's dream.
With that payout, he could not only live out his fantasy of being a top-tier online novel writer but also get revenge for all those years of bullshit, come out on top, and live good.
Plus, he'd have steady royalty cash rolling in, letting him coast comfortably.
Ten million!!
Even in a big city, that'd be enough to live with some damn dignity.
A 160-square-meter house, a fat Mercedes, and spending cash to burn.
That life—just thinking about it lit Li Bin up with excitement.
