Jiang Cheng subtly licked his half‑dry lips.
He slipped Qiao Yinyin's small hand into the blanket.
"Why are your hands so cold? Let me warm them up for you. Hungry? Perfect, I have a delicacy here for you to review..."
"Ah, stop it, I don't want it." Qiao Yinyin said a little reluctantly… The two didn't start lunch until after one o'clock.
After lunch, Jiang Cheng still didn't bring up Qiao Yinyin's birthday.
If he asked directly, the surprise would be gone!
After all, the system's reward rating is based on Qiao Yinyin's satisfaction score.
So this time Jiang Cheng decided to stick with the old routine.
Thinking it over, Jiang Cheng said to Qiao Yinyin, "Let's get a new place. Hand me your ID and I'll have someone find one for you right away."
Qiao Yinyin didn't think twice, assuming he meant a new rental, and obediently nodded, pulling the ID from her bag and handing it to Jiang Cheng.
Seeing the rather youthful face on the ID, Jiang Cheng smiled affectionately.
"When did you take this photo?"
Qiao Yinyin's cheeks flushed as she replied, "Six years ago. I hadn't grown much yet—maybe it doesn't look much like me."
One must remember that ID photos are often a person's black‑history.
Girls especially care about this. Jiang Cheng didn't tease her; he said, "I can tell it's you just by the eyebrows and eyes—so cute."
Sure enough, Qiao Yinyin felt very comfortable after hearing that.
She giggled and pressed her cheek close to his.
Jiang Cheng pinched her cheek, then took out his phone and sent the ID info to Wang Congcong.
He also told him some basic requirements for the house.
After finishing, he turned to Qiao Yinyin and said,
"Let someone else handle the house details. Shall we go buy some furniture for moving in?"
Qiao Yinyin obediently agreed.
When she lives alone she can be carefree, but living with Jiang Cheng requires a bit more decorum.
Jiang Cheng took Qiao Yinyin to the biggest home‑goods mall in Mo‑Du.
The massive mall was filled with all kinds of furniture and appliances.
Seeing the dazzling array of goods, Qiao Yinyin excitedly grabbed Jiang Cheng's hand.
The two strolled through the mall like a sweet young couple.
When Jiang Cheng started looking at appliances, he only eyed the most expensive, best‑value ones.
Qiao Yinyin tugged at him, "Honey, you don't need to buy so many things for a rental. Usually a fridge and a washing machine are enough."
Jiang Cheng shook his head, "Who said we're renting?"
"Isn't that right?" Qiao Yinyin asked, a little surprised.
"I bought a house. The interior is top‑class, but it's empty right now. I'll let you pick the appliances you like."
Jiang Cheng didn't tell Qiao Yinyin that the house was actually for her.
The reason he asked for her ID earlier was to have Wang Congcong purchase a Fully‑renovated large suite near Li‑Gong University for her.
After all, it's her birthday—there should be a little surprise.
Qiao Yinyin's face lit up with unexpected joy; she wasn't surprised that Jiang Cheng bought a house.
She was surprised that he let her arrange the home décor.
Usually that's the lady‑owner's job.
Does this mean she holds a special place in Jiang Cheng's heart?
Beyond the surprise, Qiao Yinyin felt a bit moved.
With Jiang Cheng's rapid selection, they quickly bought a whole series of appliances.
They only slowed down when choosing bedding.
After all, most of their future time would probably be spent in bed.
"I think this one feels softer. What do you think?"
"Softness doesn't matter; the real question is whether it's convenient for… strong use first?"
"You're being indecent."
"What's indecent about that? Dare you say it doesn't matter to you?"
Blushing, Qiao Yinyin glanced at Jiang Cheng, then at a nearby sales assistant, and whispered, "Ah, you're a tease. Let's test the convenience tonight and we'll know."
Her words caught Jiang Cheng off guard.
Cough cough, thanks to the longer he's been with the system, Jiang Cheng found his body's resilience growing stronger.
Otherwise, facing a woman like Qiao Yinyin, Jiang Cheng would only be able to say three words: "Disturb you!"
After the purchases, Jiang Cheng called Wang Congcong.
Once the address was confirmed, he arranged for the delivery crew to bring everything to the door and install them.
There was still some time before dinner.
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and led Qiao Yinyin toward the Patek Philippe boutique.
Although they hadn't made an appointment, the Patek Philippe sales clerk Xiao Chen recognized Jiang Cheng at a glance.
The last time Jiang Cheng visited, Xiao Chen was the one who attended to him.
Jiang Cheng bought four watches in one go, leaving a deep impression on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Jiang, welcome back."
Jiang Cheng was surprised that Xiao Chen still remembered him, since he'd only been to Patek Philippe once before.
No wonder he's a salesperson for a world‑famous brand.
What Jiang Cheng didn't know was that from the moment he entered, Xiao Chen also instantly recognized the Chronograph Triple Question on his wrist.
The Chronograph Triple Question is priceless; Xiao Chen didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be wearing it.
Jiang Cheng asked Xiao Chen, "Do you have any million‑dollar women's watches in stock right now?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng ask about million‑dollar women's watches, Xiao Chen felt a surge of excitement.
Although Jiang Cheng had come twice with different women, such clients are actually a good sign for salespeople.
This phenomenon might suggest the client is a "player," but that's irrelevant.
What matters is that when a client is a "player," he constantly changes women.
More women mean a higher chance of purchases.
For salespeople, that's all profit and no harm.
So there's no need to fear them slipping up.
Slip‑ups only exist in over‑the‑top novels.
In reality, exposing a client's flaws is just shooting yourself in the foot, isn't it?
"Yes, Mr. Jiang, right this way, please have a seat. I'll bring the suitable models right over." Xiao Chen said with a smile in his eyes.
Jiang Cheng nodded, saw Qiao Yinyin looking interested, and stood up, extending his hand to guide her around.
When Jiang Cheng mentioned the million‑level women's watch, Qiao Yinyin was actually a bit surprised.
Patek Philippe's reputation is legendary; she had seen a fellow "shark" Female Streamer showcase it before.
Why would Jiang Cheng bring her here to buy a women's watch? Could it be for her?
