Chapter 183: Chapter 183: As Long As It’s You, Just Keep Me Full

"I think it looks very nice."

Ning Ruoxi nodded.

"Could you please get it down for her to try on?"

Ye Ling looked at the sales associate.

"Of course. Please wait a moment," the sales associate said immediately.

A moment later, Ning Ruoxi came out in the new dress. It was a black one-piece with a pair of bows on the shoulders, making her look like a noble black swan.

"So? How do I look?"

Ning Ruoxi looked at Ye Ling, spun around, and asked expectantly.

"Beautiful."

Ye Ling nodded, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Hearing this, a sweet smile bloomed in Ning Ruoxi’s eyes.

Girls love to be complimented.

Especially by the person they like.

"Sir, your girlfriend looks absolutely stunning in this dress," the sales associate standing by couldn’t help but exclaim as she looked at Ning Ruoxi.

"It does look great," Ye Ling said with a light chuckle, "but I’d like to make a correction. The dress only looks good because she’s the one wearing it."

To be honest, the dress’s style was just okay, but on Ning Ruoxi, it instantly seemed to jump up a level.

Hearing Ye Ling’s words, the sales associate was suddenly hit with a wave of their PDA.

"Excuse me, how much is this dress?"

Ning Ruoxi admired herself in the mirror for a long time, quite satisfied, then turned to ask the sales associate.

"This dress is one of our hot items for the season. It costs 31,888."

"Over thirty thousand?"

Ning Ruoxi hesitated slightly upon hearing the price.

"Please wrap it up for us. We’ll look around a bit more, and you can charge everything to this card when we’re done." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Ye Ling said decisively, handing his card to the sales associate.

"Of course, sir."

Seeing how decisive Ye Ling was, the sales associate’s gloom from their PDA vanished instantly. Her face beamed as she took the card to the front desk.

In truth, she hadn’t really expected Ye Ling to actually buy it at first.

After all, Ye Ling’s clothes were a bit too ordinary...

"Silly, don’t just throw your money around," Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but say, leaning close to Ye Ling.

"Silly girl," Ye Ling said with a smile, reaching out to ruffle her hair. "With how much money your Lingxi’s Love has made, do you really care about this little amount?"

"We still have to be frugal. When we get married, we’ll need money for a lot of things," Ning Ruoxi pouted.

Hearing her words, a look of deep emotion appeared in Ye Ling’s eyes.

A thirty-thousand-yuan dress was nothing given Ning Ruoxi’s family background, yet here she was, thinking about a future with him...

"Have some faith in your man’s ability," Ye Ling said with a smile, pinching Ning Ruoxi’s cheek. "Providing for a little piggy like you will be more than enough."

"Hmph! Who needs you to provide for them?" Ning Ruoxi scrunched up her little nose, looking utterly adorable. "Besides, I’m not a little piggy!"

"Alright, alright, let’s go look at some other clothes."

Ye Ling didn’t say any more on the subject, simply taking Ning Ruoxi’s hand and continuing to browse.

In the end, Ye Ling spent a total of over one hundred thousand yuan, buying one dress, two sweaters, and a pair of snow boots.

He didn’t particularly care about these luxury brands; as long as it made Ning Ruoxi happy, that was all that mattered.

After they finished at Louis Vuitton, Ye Ling pulled Ning Ruoxi over to the nearby Dior and Bottega Veneta.

However, Ning Ruoxi strongly insisted that Ye Ling was not allowed to waste any more money.

"Sweetheart, what’s the point of shopping if you don’t buy anything?" Ye Ling looked at Ning Ruoxi, feeling a bit helpless.

"Who told you that you have to buy things when you go shopping?" Ning Ruoxi shot Ye Ling a look.

This was where the difference between men and women came into play.

For men, shopping starts with a desire to buy something specific. But for women, it starts with a desire to go shopping; buying things is just a bonus.

"Stop wasting money. You’ll need to save up for the bride price to marry me, you know," Ning Ruoxi said, scrunching her nose.

"Uh... can you give me a hint as to how much the bride price will be?" Ye Ling asked, rubbing his nose.

"I think my dad mentioned it once... If it’s someone I don’t like, he wouldn’t marry me off even for ten billion. If it’s someone I like, a hundred million would do," Ning Ruoxi said with a grin, looking at Ye Ling.

"A hundred million? That’s so expensive. I’ll have to think about it."

Hearing this, Ye Ling immediately stroked his chin and pretended to think.

"Hmph!"

Ning Ruoxi shot Ye Ling an exasperated look, knowing full well he was just teasing her.

But in the next moment, a smile spread across her face again.

"But if it’s you, just being able to feed me is enough!"

"I can even eat a little less," Ning Ruoxi said, looking at Ye Ling with a completely serious expression.

At that moment, Ye Ling felt as if his heart had been struck. A sweetness so intense it was almost overwhelming filled him.

’Damn it.’

’This woman is way too good at flirting!’

Ye Ling couldn’t help but pull the girl in his arms a little tighter.

’Ning Ruoxi is so wonderful. I have to marry her!’

...

They shopped for the whole morning, but Ning Ruoxi really didn’t buy anything else. For her, shopping was just about enjoying her time alone with Ye Ling.

As for whether she bought anything?

That really wasn’t important.

Ye Ling’s heart was naturally moved by this charming simplicity of hers.

"Let’s go. I made a reservation. I’ll take you to have fish offal for lunch, and then we’ll see a movie in the afternoon. How does that sound?" Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Okay! Fish maw is my favorite."

Ning Ruoxi’s eyes lit up when she heard that.

"What a coincidence."

Ye Ling also smiled, a nostalgic look appearing in his eyes.

He remembered when he was a child, every time they had fish, he would always find fish maws inside. Sometimes there were even several, which Ye Feng had asked the fishmonger for.

Later, when he grew up and left home for school, he ate a lot of fish, but restaurants rarely left the fish maw inside, so he seldom had it.

This fish offal restaurant was clearly popular, and since it was lunchtime, they probably wouldn’t have gotten a table if Ye Ling hadn’t made a reservation.

"Sir, do you have a reservation? We might not have any tables available otherwise," a female employee walked over and asked.

"Yes, I do."

Ye Ling nodded and showed her his phone.

"Alright, sir, please follow me."

The employee led Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi to a table inside the restaurant. "Your table is right here."

Ye Ling pulled out a chair for Ning Ruoxi, and they sat down. A moment later, all their dishes arrived.

’Looks like this place is pretty efficient!’

After shopping for most of the day, Ye Ling was hungry too. But just as he picked up his chopsticks, Ning Ruoxi suddenly stopped him.

"Wait!"
