The Female Taoist Priestess’s Childhood Sweetheart Is a Male CEO

Chapter 12

"Enough, stop thinking about it and go try on the clothes," He Qingchen flicked her forehead to bring her back to her senses.

Although she didn't feel much pain, Jian Xi came back to her senses. She took a look around, it was a clothing store with very high-end decor.

She didn't recognize any brands, in the past He Qingchen would just buy her whatever he wanted her to wear, and she would wear it. But she had already outgrown those clothes from four years ago. She had grown much taller over the years, and developed quite a bit in the chest area as well.

However, when Jian Xi took a look, the three shop assistants standing in front of her were each holding several dresses and outfits in their hands.

So many!

She took a step back and glanced at He Qingchen, who was already sitting on the sofa. "Brother, isn't this a bit too much? You know I can't accept so many all at once."

He Qingchen nodded his chin at the shop assistant behind them, "I know what I'm doing, go try on the ones she's holding first."

Jian Xi went with the shop assistant to the fitting room to try on clothes, while He Qingchen patiently sat on the sofa waiting. At the same time, he was calculating how much he would need to spend on Jian Xi today without triggering her bad luck.

When it came to Jian Xi's fortune, he and her fellow disciples had done no small amount of experimenting before arriving at a conclusion.

First, she could only possess 100 yuan per day, whether it was physical cash or bank balance. Anything over that exact amount would start to bring her bad luck, which would eventually require dispelling the curse and avoiding financial ruin!

Second, she reacted much better to gifts from others. Based on their observations, the maximum a gift could be worth was 500,000 yuan, within a period of two months.

In other words, today he could only buy her things totaling 500,000 yuan. If he wanted to buy her anything else, he would have to wait two months.

When he had left the monastery and came down the mountain around the same time as her fellow disciples, they made an agreement - each person had a limit per gift!

Because everyone wanted to give Jian Xi more presents, after much contesting they decided to draw lots, and he got the highest limit.

At lunch earlier, Jian Xi had mentioned that the phone and tablet he gave her were gone, surely because the combined gifts from him and her fellow disciples had exceeded the limit, thus causing the loss.

Now it had been over two months since they last gave Jian Xi presents, so today he just needed to stay under 500,000 yuan!

"Brother, I'm done changing, what do you think?"

Jian Xi's voice pulled He Qingchen's calculating thoughts back to the present.

He looked over upon hearing her voice. She was wearing a white retro-chic strappy maxi dress, ending at her calves, decorated with black floral prints. A light pink knit cardigan over it, with a pair of white shoes. With her naturally sweet and beautiful features, her whole being exuded a soft, charming allure!

He Qingchen realized in that moment that girls undergo drastic changes after coming of age. This little girl had truly grown up, becoming a beauty that caught his gaze and wouldn't let go.

Seeing He Qingchen lost in thought, Jian Xi called to him again, "Brother?"

Snapping back to reality, He Qingchen glanced at her. Her clear peach blossom eyes blinked twice at him, obviously waiting for his opinion.

He Qingchen nodded, "It looks great, keep it and try on some others."

Every girl loves to hear praise, and Jian Xi was no exception. Hearing He Qingchen say she looked great made her happy too, so she happily scurried back to the fitting room to try on the second outfit.

He Qingchen had good taste, over the next six outfits spanning different styles, most looked very good on her. Only the last one he didn't keep.

Not because it didn't look good, but rather because Jian Xi's current figure was simply too stunning. The dress that was just slightly sexy on its own became overtly tempting on her. Even He Qingchen had to forcibly draw his eyes away!

So of course, that one could not stay.

Jian Xi didn't mind, she had no particular opinions when it came to He Qingchen buying her things. In the past or now, whatever he bought for her she would wear it. Her brother certainly wouldn't cheat her!

What she didn't know was that in the future, on a certain day when she put on the pitifully skimpy negligee, she would realize how naive her thoughts were today!

These six outfits totaled 280,000 yuan. After leaving the boutique, He Qingchen also took Jian Xi to buy 3 sets of pajamas costing 20,000 yuan, 4 sets of underwear costing 10,000 yuan, a new phone costing 10,000 yuan.

After shopping for an hour, they had spent 320,000 yuan so far. Next were some small accessories to match the clothes, a few small handbags for her to carry her phone and talismans when going out.

The 500,000 yuan limit was left with only 80,000 yuan. He Qingchen didn't buy her anything else with this remaining amount, instead keeping it for her.

They weren't at the monastery now, so it was very possible she would need to spend on something unexpected, keeping it in reserve.

"I can only buy you this much today, in another two months I'll buy you whatever else you want," He Qingchen said.

Jian Xi wouldn't stand on ceremony with him, giving a cheerful grin, "Thanks, brother!"

Recalling something, He Qingchen took out his phone and said to Jian Xi, "Let me transfer 100 yuan to you first, I'll add more later when you use it up."

Xu Yan, who was driving in front, still hadn't recovered from Mr. He's extravagant actions this afternoon. And now hearing the CEO only transfer 100 yuan as pocket money to his sister, he was stunned once again.

He sneakily peered at He Qingchen in the rearview mirror - he clearly doted on and cherished this suddenly appeared sister, even the way he looked at her was filled with a gentle affection Xu Yan had never seen before. So why was he so 'calculating' when buying her things?

His own shirts cost tens of thousands, his belts hundreds of thousands, yet the six outfits he bought his sister today didn't even add up to the price of one of his shirts!

The jewelry didn't even exceed 10,000 yuan either. This was just so contradictory!

The two people in the backseat didn't care one bit what Xu Yan was thinking.

Jian Xi also took out her new phone from her handbag, the salesperson had already helped download commonly used apps for her. She tapped to check the transfer, then checked her balance - 100 yuan!

Happy! Having money just feels great!

After a morning of shopping, Jian Xi was getting sleepy. She yawned, then very naturally laid down with her head resting on his lap, facing outward.

Her brother said it would still be a while before reaching his home. Her originally sweet voice was now lazy with drowsiness, "Brother, wake me when we arrive, I'm going to nap for now."

"Mm, sleep." He Qingchen's right hand held his phone replying to some messages, while his left hand habitually rested on her arm, gently patting. Every action between them was familiar and natural!

Inhaling his familiar scent, Jian Xi felt extremely reassured. She fell asleep almost instantly!
