Chapter 78 - 78 The First Anniversary
78 The First Anniversary
Chen Che took out a card and the cashier took it. After swiping the card, she handed the receipt to Chen Che with a smile.
The netizens in the live-stream went crazy.
[F*cking Horse! $48,000? These two sets of clothes actually cost more than $40,000?]
[This shop is a brand. The price of the clothes is very normal, but I don’t understand why Old Scrooge Chen suddenly stopped being stingy.]
[In the past, he was someone who could not wait to split a dollar into two to spend. Now, he actually spent more than $40,000 on clothes. What exactly happened to Old Scrooge Chen?]
Everyone was shocked, and more and more people surged into the live-stream.
After coming out of the mall, the live broadcast was paused for an hour. The netizens did not understand. What was there that their loyal fans could not watch?
When the scene returned, they were in a hotel with a good environment. Chen Che was wearing new clothes. He was tall and dignified, looking extremely handsome.
His hair was still a little damp. It was obvious that he had just taken a shower.
Everyone instantly understood why they had to stop the live broadcast. This scene could not be broadcasted!
Seeing that it was already noon, Chen Che immediately went to Lin Xi’s company.
But this time, he did not choose to walk. Instead, he took the VJ with him and hailed a taxi.
At this moment, the VJe was almost in tears. After filming with Chen Che for a year, he had finally gotten into a taxi.
The car was really fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Lin Xi’s company.
Chen Che was handsome and wore branded clothes, so he naturally attracted the attention of many women.
After a while, a graceful figure walked out of the door. Many stood around and looked at Chen Che in disbelief.
Lin Xi knew that Chen Che was frugal and had never paid attention to clothes. Sometimes, when she wanted to buy clothes for Chen Che, he would reject her.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, the set of clothes Chen Che was wearing was the latest style of the current season. The price was about $20,000.
To Lin Xi, it was not too expensive. There were two sets of clothes in her wardrobe that had cost even more.
However, with Chen Che’s personality, why would he spend so much money to buy a set of clothes?
Lin Xi walked over with a puzzled expression and smiled. “You’re very handsome today.”
“When hasn’t your husband been handsome?” Chen Che teased with a smile.
“Annoying.” Lin Xi glared at him coquettishly.
Chen Che reached out and put his arm around her shoulder. He chuckled. “Let’s go! I’ll bring you to a feast!”
After a year of interaction, Lin Xi knew very well that the feast Chen Che was talking about was usually a buffet voucher issued by a courier company or a shop that was in the midst of a promotion. The environment was not very good, but the taste was not bad.
“Ok!”
Lin Xi smiled and nodded. She pulled Chen Che to the nearby parking lot.
“We’re not driving today. Let’s take a taxi,” Chen Che said calmly.
Lin Xi was a little puzzled. “Why? It’s such a waste of money to take a taxi!”
Chen Che scratched her nose and smiled helplessly. “Why are you more thrifty than me now? It’s okay, I don’t lack this bit of money.”
Seeing that he had said so, Lin Xi could only follow him into the taxi.
The car slowly stopped and the driver said, “Sir, we’re here.”
When Lin Xi got out of the car, she realized that the restaurant they came to was called Xiang An. The dishes were unique and the environment was beautiful. It was very suitable for couples to date, but it was also very expensive.
“Chen Che, you’re bringing me here to eat?” Lin Xi asked in surprise.
“Yes, is there a problem?”
Chen Che smiled at her. He actually knew what she was thinking.
“But this shop is too expensive. Why don’t we…”
Before Lin Xi could finish, Chen Che interrupted her. “No buts. Hurry up and go in.”
Chen Che pulled Lin Xi into the dining room. As soon as they entered, a waiter walked over. “Do you have a reservation?”
Chen Che nodded. “My surname is Chen. I’ve reserved seat No. 3.”
“Alright, Mr. Chen. Please follow me.”
The waiter warmly invited the two of them to seat No. 3. Even when they sat down, Lin Xi still found it unbelievable.
In the past year, she seemed to have gotten used to Chen Che’s frugal lifestyle. Therefore, when she was on a date with Chen Che, she would deliberately avoid expensive restaurants and malls and try her best to choose cheap, down to earth places.
The dining table was covered with a complicated patterned tablecloth. There were exquisite candlesticks and glass vases on it. Dewdrops were still hanging on the bright roses.
This was the first time Lin Xi and Chen Che had come to such a restaurant to eat. She was still happy, but when she thought about how this meal would cost Chen Che half a month’s salary, her heart could not help but ache.
“Chen Che, actually, you don’t have to bring me to such a place to eat. You can go to a Western restaurant for a set meal.”
Chen Che grabbed Lin Xi’s hand and looked at her seriously. “Have you forgotten what day it was yesterday?”
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment as her mind raced.
“What day is it?”
Chen Che shook his head helplessly. “It’s our anniversary!”
On the day the System began last year, they were officially together. Therefore, as soon as the System matured, Chen Che knew that their first anniversary had arrived.
Originally, Chen Che wanted to bring Lin Xi out for dinner last night, but she had already made an appointment with her colleagues, so Chen Che could only postpone it for a day.
At this moment, Lin Xi’s eyes widened, filled with apology. “Chen Che, I’m sorry. I’ve been too busy recently and actually forgot such an important day.”
“It’s okay. I’m glad I remember.”
...
Chen Che smiled and touched her face, his eyes filled with love.
At this moment, the people in the live-stream finally reacted. No wonder Chen Che was so generous today. It was to celebrate the first anniversary!
Therefore, Old Scrooge Chen was still the same Old Scrooge Chen. It was just that he could be impudent on the anniversary. Moreover, the current Chen Che was not as penniless as before. At least he had some savings.
Lin Xi looked at Chen Che guiltily with her watery eyes.
Recently, she had been overworked because of the company. She thought that the company was about to close down, but an investment suddenly came. She was overwhelmed by surprise, so she neglected Chen Che.
Not long after, the waiter brought the dishes over. The table was filled with delicacies.
Lin Xi looked at the dishes and thought of Chen Che sweating profusely at the delivery company every day. She could not help but feel sad.
“Hurry up and eat. It’ll get cold soon.”
Chen Che hurriedly picked up some food for her. Knowing that she did not like to peel prawns, he even helped her peel two prawns and placed them on a plate.
Lin Xi slowly looked up, her eyes slightly red. She choked and said, “Chen Che, thank you for being so good to me.”
Chen Che did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Does treating you to a meal mean that I’m good to you? There must be others who treated you to something more luxurious than this.”
...
Lin Xi was beautiful and was the female CEO of an up and coming company. There were countless people pursuing her, and they were all successful people.
Back then, Chen Che did not dare to express his feelings because he knew this fact.
