Chapter 55: Gao Qilan's Desire to Save Money

"Really?"

Gao Qilan seemed intrigued by An Xin's words, but also a bit apprehensive.

After all, the snacks here looked expensive at a glance, and she had already spent so much money; she didn't quite feel comfortable.

Seeing her uncertain expression, An Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've got enough money for you to spend."

"And besides, I make all this money just to spoil you, right?"

An Xin's words drew envious glances from many around them; it's not often one finds such a good man.

The nearby waiter couldn't help but chuckle and remarked, "Your boyfriend treats you really well."

Gao Qilan smiled awkwardly, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Seeing her unease, An Xin quickly suggested, "Let's pack up and go."

The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, we have private rooms available here."

"Would you like to try? The top floor here is a favorite spot for many, and since you've hit the spending limit, you can enjoy it for free."

Seeing the waiter's secretive smile, Gao Qilan couldn't help but be curious about what the place looked like.

However, she hesitated because An Xin had already spent a lot, and she didn't want to burden her.

"I..."

Before Gao Qilan could finish, An Xin placed a finger on her lips, signaling her not to say more.

The waiter chuckled at their interaction; not many couples looked out for each other like they did, especially with so many wealthy people around.

Soon they were led to another area.

Upon arrival, they discovered countless shimmering 3D images on the floor, resembling scenes from an oceanarium Gao Qilan had visited before.

Just as she was about to react, a large, shark-like mouth suddenly startled her, causing her to jump into An Xin's arms.

"Don't be afraid, it's just an illusion!" Although they had been together for a while, An Xin still struggled to comfort her girlfriend.

Especially now, seeing Gao Qilan scared made her regret bringing her here.

"I was just startled, it's okay, you don't have to worry."

Gao Qilan tried to leave, but An Xin held her back, pulling her close and planting a kiss.

He grinned, "Even if you're scared, I'm here. You don't have to worry about a thing."

"From now on, no matter where or what happens, you tell me first. I'm the one who can protect you."

His words made Gao Qilan smile, "I know you can handle yourself, but some things need more than just strength; we need to be smart too."

Both thought of the troublemakers they had encountered recently.

Dealing with those two troublemakers had been exhausting and beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

Soon, they reached the rooftop, where they could see the entire cityscape beneath them and a telescope.

The attendant smiled, "You can explore more surprises here."

Gao Qilan frowned, "I thought you'd tell us everything."

"Things wouldn't be as meaningful if I did. Some things are better explored by yourselves." The attendant kept a mysterious smile; some secrets were better left unsaid.

Although she thought so, she didn't say more.

Suddenly, Gao Qilan noticed it was getting dark; they had been fooling around the whole time.

If they kept this up, it would be late.

"Is this really okay?" Gao Qilan looked around, feeling like she was in a dream with her handsome boyfriend, beautiful jewelry, and a table full of delicious food.

Her family had warned her not to be dazzled by all this, but how could she not be moved by such a man!

And An Xin's gestures were sincere compared to those rich kids; his gifts were more thoughtful.

Thinking about this, Gao Qilan blushed again. So many people had witnessed that kiss just now.

Before long, the waiter placed all the food on the table.

Exquisite small cakes and various elaborate platings filled the table.

There was even a meticulously carved fruit sculpture that no one could recognize.

But it definitely whetted everyone's appetite.

"It looks so good! I wonder how it tastes." An Xin said, already feeding a piece of fruit to Gao Qilan.

"It's like grapes, but with the sweet and sour taste of strawberries and a hint of milk." Gao Qilan's eyes narrowed with delight after tasting the delicious food.

Seeing her satisfied expression, An Xin knew his money was well spent.

"As long as you like it. Later, we can go play bumper cars. There's a place nearby that's really popular." This was a different kind of bumper cars; apparently, it was expensive, and many hesitated due to the price.

But those who tried it said it was great; An Xin was eager to go.

"We've spent a lot today; maybe we should head back first?" Gao Qilan wanted to go too, but seeing the long bill, she felt embarrassed.

Seeing her worried look, An Xin lied, "I've already set aside what we need; I booked everything on Meimei."

In fact, he had transferred money privately to avoid Gao Qilan seeing it; he had the shop owner change his page to avoid being found out.
