After getting into the Maserati, the two of them drove to the hotel that Chu Yang had booked for lunch.

The traffic was smooth as they left the exhibition hall. Thus, Chu Yang quickly arrived at the entrance of the hotel. After showing his reservation information, a waiter brought Chu Yang and Chu Xue to their table.

The hotel Chu Yang booked this time is also one of the more famous hotels in the city. The interior of the hotel was designed elegantly. 

After scanning the menu, Chu Yang ordered five dishes before handing the menu back to the waiter.

“Cousin, aren’t you going to ask me what I want to eat?” Chu Xue said to Chu Yang with a smile after seeing how he ordered by himself.

“This hotel mainly cooks Chinese food. How can I not know what you like to eat since you were young?” Chu Yang rolled his eyes and smiled as he said to her.

“Haha, I know that you dote on me the most,” she replied happily.

The restaurant was efficient. Slightly more than 20 minutes after Chu Yang placed the order, the dishes got served one by one.

It was a spicy chicken dish.

“Try it. I remember you liked this dish the most when you were young. See if it is to your liking,” Chu Yang immediately said to Xue’er.

“Haha, you still remember it.”

“I was even the one who brought you to try this dish. I remember that you cried when you tried the first bite, but the strange thing was that you ate another mouthful after you cried from the spiciness. You even said that this dish was delicious.”

“From then on, it seems that whenever you came to my house to play, my dad would make this dish for you.”

Chu Yang and Chu Xue laughed as they reminisced the embarrassing moments of their childhood.

“Haha, it’s also because of this that I always come to your house to freeload,” Chu Xue replied Chu Yang after eating a piece of spicy chicken.

While the two of them were talking, dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good were served one after another.

The fragrance of the food filled the air, and the conversation slowed down as they picked up their chopsticks and started to eat the delicacies in front of them.

An hour later, the two of them comfortably leaned back on their chairs.

“These dishes are delicious. They are much better than those western-styled restaurants,” Chu Xue said to Chu Yang after drinking a mouthful of fruit juice.

“It’s delicious. Let’s eat from here while you are here in the city. I saw that this hotel has take-out services. We can order food from here for delivery,” Chu Yang said to Chu Xue.

“Yes, yes, I agree.” Chu Xue nodded her head in agreement.

The two of them rested for a while more before calling for the bill. Chu Yang then went to the front desk to settle the payment.

The two of them ate more than 2,000 yuan for this meal. It was much cheaper than the western-styled restaurants, and the taste was exceptionally good.

“Cousin, where are we going to play next?” Chu Xue asked Chu Yang as they walked out of the restaurant.

“Next, I’ll take you to the shopping mall here to shop for a while,” Chu Yang suggested to Xue’er.

“Okay, then I’m going to prepare to shop. Have you readied your wallet?” She turned her head and revealed an intriguing expression.

“Don’t worry. Your cousin here will pay for all your expenses today. You can buy whatever you want,” Chu Yang waved his hand and said to Chu Xue. 

The place that Chu Yang brought Chu Xue to this time was the biggest shopping mall in Haoyu City. This shopping mall not only had every brand one can think of but there was also a building inside that should be interesting.

After more than 20 minutes of driving, they arrived at the entrance of the mall.

After they parked, Chu Yang brought Xue’er in. This time, Chu Yang’s Maserati was not surrounded by a group of people as it did with his LaFerrari.

Upon entering, Xue’er was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of goods inside. She pulled Chu Yang and began to explore shop by shop.

“Xue’er, I’m a little tired. I’ll just sit here for a while. You can come and find me here later.” After walking out of another shop, Chu Yang finally could not hold it in any longer and said to Xue’er, who was still in high spirits.

Chu Yang thought, wasn’t shopping just buying a few pieces of clothes that he liked? It should be an activity that wraps up very quickly.

However, he did not expect Xue’er to do window shopping. There were clothes that she liked, but she did not buy them. After trying them on, she pulled Chu Yang into the next shop,

It was already the sixth shop they went into. Chu Yang only bought one piece of clothing for Xue’er, and he was even the one who forced her to get it. Otherwise, they would have come out empty-handed again.

“Cousin, are you tired already? I just got into the mood of shopping.” After hearing Chu Yang say that he was tired, Chu Xue was surprised.

“Cousin, have you gotten weaker?” Chu Xue gave Chu Yang a thought-provoking expression.

“Weaker my ass. You have visited so many shops, but you did not buy anything. What’s the purpose of you shopping like this?” Hearing Chu Xue’s words, Chu Yang suddenly felt black lines all over his head and said grumpily.

“Cousin, clothes are for viewing! There are so many pretty clothes. I cannot buy all of them at once. I only need to try some of the ones I like.” Chu Xue explained her reason to him.

“But you’ve visited six stores and only bought one piece of clothing. Aren’t you tired?”

“I’m not tired. I’ve only visited six stores. Look, there are still so many stores waiting for us to visit.” Chu Xue said excitedly as she pointed to the stores in front that had yet to be visited. 

“Okay, you win.” Chu Yang could not understand this type of thinking. Since you do not want to buy, why would you want to go shopping?

“This is my card. The password is six 6s. Just swipe this card if you like anything later. I want to sit here for a while. When you are done, send me a text. I’ll pick you up, or you can come over.”

“Oh right, other than buying clothes, there are also specialty shops on this floor that sell cosmetics. You can also buy some cosmetics or perfume. You don’t have to hold back. This card requires a lot of spending.”

After confirming that Chu Xue still wanted to shop, Chu Yang took out his bank card and handed it over. Anyway, he did not want to continue shopping. It was too tiring.

“Alright then, cousin. You rest here for a while.” After seeing that Chu Yang did not want to shop around, Chu Xue could only helplessly nod at him. Then, she took the bank card and hopped into the next shop alone.

“Girls are really scary creatures,” Chu Yang said silently in his heart as he watched Chu Xue’s figure walk away.

“It’s better to play games.”

After Chu Yang sat down, he asked the waiter to bring him a drink before opening the Texas hold ’em app on his phone and immersing himself in the game world.

Three hours later, Chu Xue carried a few shopping bags and started to hop towards the shop Chu Yang was resting at.

However, after entering the shop, Chu Xue found that Chu Yang was not there. Just as she was about to take out her phone to send a message to Chu Yang, she saw Chu Yang walking in with two cups of milk tea.

It turns out that Chu Yang felt a little tired after playing Texas hold ’em for two hours, but realized that Chu Xue had still not sent him a message yet.

After sitting for a while in boredom, Chu Yang thought that Chu Xue might feel thirsty after all that shopping, so he went out to buy two cups of milk tea for Chu Xue and himself.

“Cousin, you’re so nice.” After taking the milk tea from Chu Yang, Chu Xue smiled.

“Haha, of course, I’m nice. How was it? Are you done shopping?”

“I’m done shopping. Look, I bought a lot of things. I did not save any money for you.” After hearing Chu Yang’s words, Chu Xue immediately showed Chu Yang the results of her shopping for the past few hours.

“Well, I bought quite a lot.” Chu Yang looked at the shopping bags in Chu Xue’s hands and knew that she bought some things, so he nodded with satisfaction.

However, Chu Yang rejoiced in his heart again since he did not need to continue shopping with Chu Xue.

He looked at the shopping bags in Chu Xue’s hands and felt that he could have finished the battle in at most 30 minutes if he was the one that went shopping. He did not understand why Chu Xue needed to shop for three hours..
