Chapter 7: Oh, what an utter waste of a treasure!
Page 1/3
Shang Yang’s eyes sparkled with amusement as he insisted on having them sent to his home directly.
Lin Xianxian was taken aback. “Why to your place?”
“We’re getting married; my home is your home now.”
“...”
[Damn, I can’t argue with that…]
[But in the original story, after the heroine decided to marry the male lead’s younger uncle, she immediately moved in and started acting like the second madam of the Shang family, bossing around the servants.]
[Later, when she realized the male lead wasn’t jealous at all, she completely shirked her marital duties and went crazy daily, kicking the younger uncle out. After he got married, he barely slept in the study or guest room every day…]
[What a waste of good material!]
Lin Xianxian’s cheeks warmed as she recalled last night.
[Not sleeping... really not sleeping? Seems like such a loss. With that body, who would expect a well-tailored suit to hide chest muscles, abs, and thigh muscles…]
Shang Yang’s ears flushed slightly.
“In any case, the day after tomorrow after we get the marriage certificate, I’ll have someone help you move.”
Lin Xianxian thought:
[No wonder he’s the Shang family’s younger uncle—so efficient!]
[But that’s fine—it’s the plot. Hmm, when moving, I’ll have to make sure the male lead is around… If I remember correctly, today the male lead will use his first month’s salary after joining the company to buy a ring for the heroine, then bring her to Grandfather Shang to formally introduce her.]
[Good timing! Let’s move this afternoon! Follow the storyline!]
Shang Yang raised an eyebrow, just about to leave with Lin Xianxian, when Shang Beiming walked in.
“...”
Lin Xianxian was equally shocked.
[What the hell?? This didn’t happen in the original story!]
[Oh, I get it. In the original, this vicious supporting female didn’t agree to marry Shang Yang so quickly. Shang Yang only agreed to marry Lin Xianxian after Grandfather Shang’s persuasion. He didn’t even go ring shopping with Lin Xianxian; the butler just delivered the ring to her, and she picked the most expensive one…]
[But now, running into the male lead, that Shang Beiming is probably here to buy a ring to confess to the heroine? Hmm, as this vicious supporting female, I have to mock a little!]
Shang Beiming’s steps faltered when he saw Shang Yang and Lin Xianxian together.
Yet he did not retreat, for the ring had already been reserved at the store.
“Younger uncle.”
Shang Beiming greeted Shang Yang respectfully.
“Mm.”
Shang Yang nodded and glanced at Lin Xianxian.
Shang Beiming narrowed his eyes and immediately said:
“Aunt!”
“You…”

Lin Xianxian instantly slipped into character, eyes reddening dramatically.
“Shang Beiming, doesn’t calling me ‘aunt’ feel weird?!”
“Not at all.”
Shang Beiming’s face was cold. “You are my aunt. Don’t worry; as your nephew, I will always treat you with the utmost respect! After all, you will be my elder!”
[Who can’t hear the sarcasm in his tone… You might as well show some genuine respect to your elders! Ungrateful nephew!]
Lin Xianxian grumbled inwardly.
Shang Yang shot her a amused glance.
As soon as Shang Beiming appeared, the clerk promptly brought out the ring.
“Sir, your reserved ring is ready.”
At those words, Shang Beiming’s attention was instantly drawn to the ring.
He was already imagining how Qin Xinxia would look wearing it.
Noticing his tender gaze, Lin Xianxian smiled faintly and deliberately toyed with her own conspicuous large diamond ring, casting a disdainful look at the ring Shang Beiming was admiring.
“Tsk, your ring… isn’t even a carat, right? Pathetic!”
“Well, Qin Xinxia is just a girl from a commoner background; such a small diamond suits her perfectly!”
Lin Xianxian was the very image of a vicious supporting female.
The smile on Shang Beiming’s face vanished instantly as he shot her a cold look.
“Aunt, Xin Xia is different from you. She doesn’t care about the size of the diamond; she only cares about my love!”
When he mentioned Qin Xinxia, his eyes softened.
“This ring was bought with my first earned money. Its value can’t be measured by price!”
Lin Xianxian’s face contorted with hatred, her eyes turning red with anger.
“Shang Yang, aren’t you leaving yet?!”
Without any hesitation, her words sounded petty and jealous, even ambiguous in front of her future husband, flirting with his nephew…
The store manager and staff lowered their heads, careful not to show any reactions.
Seeing her like this, Shang Beiming’s disdain deepened.
Sure enough, she was nothing but a shallow, vulgar woman. Pretty, but not a fraction comparable to Qin Xinxia!
His Xin Xia never cared about how much the gifts cost; she cared only about his sincerity…
However, the manager and Shang Yang clearly heard the inner rant of the superficially vulgar Lin Xianxian:
[Right, right, your Qin Xinxia loves the tiny diamond you bought with your own money. Before you proposed, she treasured the pull tab from a soda can like a treasure. Your relationship is purely spiritual. Lock it in!]
Shang Yang: “...”
The manager blinked.
Strange, did she just hear Miss Li speak?
But her lips hadn’t moved at all.
Moreover, what Miss Li just said seemed quite different from her outward behavior…
The manager was puzzled.
Of course, she didn’t know that Lin Xianxian had merely glanced at the several-pound heavy lucky cat in the store, then at the gold bracelet, casually picked a large diamond ring, causing the store’s sales to jump by over ten million…
The manager had a great impression of Lin Xianxian.
She loved customers who spent lavishly!
Such customers were always welcome.
Therefore, the manager’s fondness for Lin Xianxian grew, and oddly, she could even hear Lin Xianxian’s inner voice.
Shang Yang glanced knowingly at the manager.
The manager stiffened for a moment.
But Shang Yang quickly averted his gaze.
The manager discreetly exhaled in relief. “Let’s go. You two come with me to personally deliver the items that Mister Shang and Miss Li just bought.”
She summoned two security guards.
After all, this much gold was no joke.
The commotion was so loud that even Shang Beiming, still dreaming of Qin Xinxia wearing the ring, noticed.
Shang Beiming frowned.
“All this… was bought by my younger uncle… for that woman just now?”
The manager recognized Shang Beiming; when he arrived earlier, she thought a big client had come.
Unexpectedly, this Shang family young master, the newly appointed CEO, bought a ring less than a carat…
The attending clerk had been disappointed and even complained after he left.
But the manager knew to cast a long line to catch a big fish.
Especially with someone like Shang Beiming, who was love-struck; now he was buying a ring with his own salary, but the future was uncertain.
The manager smiled warmly.
“Yes, your younger uncle is very generous. He bought many gold bracelets and necklaces for your aunt, even the store’s lucky golden cat.”
“Gold?”
Shang Beiming raised an eyebrow. “So tacky!”
Manager and staff: “...”
