Your boyfriend is so generous!

Chen Yuan felt a pang of disappointment as he saw the -10 favorability points above Lin Shutang's head. After three years of adoration, even if she was a stranger, there should be some level of positive sentiment, right?

But Lin Shutang had zero positive feelings for him, and even showed disdain. In those three years, she had truly treated Chen Yuan as nothing more than a long-term free meal ticket, never harboring even the slightest affection.

"Chen Yuan, I've picked out the bag. Go ahead and pay for it!"

At this moment, Xu Lele, having chosen her bag, came over and confidently asked Chen Yuan to handle the payment.

As an experienced "puppy dog," when a beautiful girl asks you to pay, you cannot hesitate. Chen Yuan was quite competent in this regard.

"Alright!"

Chen Yuan took out his black card and walked to the counter.

"Sir, your girlfriend has excellent taste. She has chosen this season's latest model, but it costs 32,800 yuan."

"No problem, just swipe the card!"

As the transaction went through, Lin Shutang was bewildered. The very bag she had just been eyeing was now being bought by Chen Yuan, who was known for being a "puppy dog" in school.

Huang Junkai, a wealthy second-generation, hadn't been willing to buy it for her, but Chen Yuan, a so-called "puppy dog," didn't even blink.

What was going on? When did this guy get so rich?

At that moment, Chen Yuan noticed that the favorability points above both Xu Lele and Lin Shutang started to rise simultaneously!

Xu Lele: Favorability +20

Lin Shutang: Favorability +5

Just by buying a bag, Xu Lele's favorability went from -52 to 8 points. An 8-point favorability meant Xu Lele no longer despised Chen Yuan and even felt a bit of positive sentiment, though it was far from affection.

Lin Shutang's favorability rose from -10 to 5 points. This was the magical effect of monetary power.

"Let's go. If there's anything else you want today, I'll buy it for you!" Chen Yuan said with a calm tone, putting away his black card.

His demeanor even seemed somewhat charming, despite his casual attire and disheveled hair. Carrying the latest Gucci bag, Xu Lele was in high spirits, especially seeing another woman who wanted the same bag but couldn't get it.

Xu Lele: Favorability +10

"You're so sweet, darling!"

Out of the blue, Xu Lele linked arms with Chen Yuan and said, "You're so sweet, darling." This woman was quite clever.

She clearly recognized Chen Yuan's unusual relationship with Lin Shutang. By showing intimacy and giving Chen Yuan a lot of face, she made him look good.

As the saying goes, "You can't refuse a gift without showing gratitude."

Seeing Xu Lele's shy demeanor, Lin Shutang felt inexplicably jealous. In her memory, Chen Yuan had always been her "puppy dog," ready to come whenever she called and leaving whenever she didn't want him.

This man, no matter how she treated him, remained devoted. But now, this "puppy dog" had stopped serving her and started pleasing someone else?

It felt like her private possession had been taken by someone else. Even if she didn't care for the item, it was frustrating to see another woman get it, especially someone with comparable looks and figure!

"Junkai, look at this," Lin Shutang said.

"Shutang, I have something to do tonight. Let's skip the shopping for now," Huang Junkai said, pulling Lin Shutang out of the Gucci store.

On the surface, Huang Junkai drove a luxury car, wore Versace, and boasted about his substantial monthly allowance.

But in reality, it was all just for show. His car was rented, his clothes were scrimped and saved for, and he never spent money on dating. Despite a decent family background, it was far from wealthy—just a small comfort level.

He posted flashy photos of luxury cars on social media but contributed nothing. Nevertheless, he managed to attract many high-score girls. It seems that in today's society, sincere affection is hard to keep, while tricks win people's hearts.

"Sister Xiaoli, I'm getting more and more confused. Those rich second-generation guys, who look so stylish, always make excuses and put off buying gifts for their girlfriends. But those guys in cheap clothes spend tens of thousands without blinking.

Is it true that real wealthy people like to pretend to be poor nowadays?"

"That's why the store manager always tells you not to judge people by appearances. Sometimes people like to act in the opposite way of what they are missing.

The poor pretend to be rich, while the rich pretend to be poor. We should treat everyone equally."

"It looks like I need to be more careful in choosing a boyfriend in the future. I mustn't be fooled by fake rich guys!"

The female staff discussed among themselves. Xu Lele also glanced at Chen Yuan with some confusion.

Could it be that this guy was pretending to be poor before, and his real identity was that of a rich second-generation?

The way he confidently paid for everyone's drinks and bought Gucci bags without any sign of nervousness didn't seem like an act.

If he didn't have some substantial background, such large expenditures would surely make anyone anxious.

But Chen Yuan wasn't worried at all.

Rich!

It must be someone from a rich family!

When this thought crossed Xu Lele's mind, her favorability towards Chen Yuan suddenly skyrocketed.

Xu Lele: Favorability +10

Chen Yuan was a bit stunned! He hadn't done anything yet. He and Xu Lele had just left the Gucci store, and her favorability points had increased by thirty more points. Xu Lele's favorability had now risen to 48 points.

A favorability score of 48 points meant that Xu Lele was starting to like him!

Could it really be that a "bag" can cure all ailments? Just by buying a branded bag for a woman, she would start to like you? This was too miraculous!

At this rate, it wouldn't take long for Xu Lele's favorability to reach 95 points. However, the money spent so far was too little—less than 100,000 yuan in total. This wouldn't be enough for a significant reversal, and the reward would be too small. He needed to spend more money.

Soon, Chen Yuan took Xu Lele to a Chanel store. He picked out two items from the racks.

"These two will do!"

Xu Lele looked at the clothes Chen Yuan was holding and frowned. "But, I don't really like these. They seem a bit outdated."

"I'm talking about these two being out. Everything else is included!"

"This… Is this for real, sir?"

"Do I look like I'm joking? Swipe the card!"

"Miss, your boyfriend is so generous!" The sales clerk took the black card with respect, full of envy and jealousy.

Chanel clothes are typically quite expensive, with each item costing several thousand yuan. Although the store didn't have many items, buying everything would cost at least several hundred thousand yuan. This wasn't just a display of wealth—it was truly extravagant!
