"Seventeen million six hundred thousand?"
Hearing the terrifying, astronomical price from the bridal shop manager.
Even Mr. Su Yang, who had just resolved to show off in front of his wife, couldn't help but gasp.
He knew things here were expensive, but he never imagined they would be so outrageously expensive!
Just three pieces of clothing!
It costs nearly twenty million?
This is practically robbery!
However... when he saw Yun Xiyue beside him, especially her expression that seemed to say, "Let's see how you'll fake it now."
Isn't it just under twenty million?
It's just a drop in the bucket, a small sum!
That card has a full five hundred million in it!
Buying this whole shabby shop would be more than enough!
Thinking this, Su Yang's back straightened instantly.
He very casually, with a magnanimous tone that suggested he had money to spare, waved his hand dismissively at the bridal shop manager who was looking at him with anticipation.
"Isn't it just over seventeen million? That's nothing."
"Card."
Saying this, he reached into the inner pocket of his suit, where his Supreme Black Gold Card was kept.
However, the next second!
The composure and calmness on his face instantly froze.
Empty... empty?
How could it be empty?
His heart gave a sudden lurch!
Impossible!
He clearly remembered that before leaving this morning, he had carefully placed that card into this pocket and checked it repeatedly several times!
How could it be gone?
A fine layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on Su Yang's forehead!
He began to frantically search through all his pockets, somewhat flustered!
Jacket pockets!
Pant pockets!
He practically turned himself inside out!
But still, he found nothing!
That Supreme Black Gold Card with five hundred million in it!
It just disappeared without a trace?
What the hell is going on?
Impossible!
If someone had touched me, I couldn't have not felt it!
...Everyone around was watching Su Yang, watching his movements as if he was fumbling with himself.
He was like an ant on a hot pan, ultimately drenched in sweat, but unable to find anything.
The expressions on the manager and staff's faces gradually changed from initial anticipation and envy to a complex mix of disdain and looking at a fool.
And Yun Xiyue?
She looked at this "husband" who, a second ago, had been making grand declarations and promises to buy her the world, only to then say "card" but be unable to produce one.
In fact, Su Yang's comical and pathetic appearance made her unable to feel even a hint of pity.
Pity him? She'd rather pity a stray dog on the street!
Instead, there was a huge sense of disappointment and complete despair!
"Heh heh... as expected..."
"He is still that good-for-nothing who only talks big, daydreams, and forever lives in his own fantasy world."
"Do I really have to live with such a person?"
"He can't give me any future I desire!"
"Perhaps Mother is right; it's truly time for him and me to end things."
...The happiest person on the scene was Young Master Lu Cheng, who was standing by, arms crossed, enjoying the show!
Su Yang's five-hundred-million black gold card?
Of course, he "took" it.
Just now, after Yun Xiyue retorted to Su Yang and ran into the changing room.
He had already quietly used an item he had redeemed from the System Shop.
[Sleight of Hand (Skill Experience Card)]: When within three meters of the target, you can steal treasures from their person. Success rate is related to the target's combat power value; if the combat power value is lower than the host's, it's 100% successful.
He originally wanted to buy this skill directly, but his Villain Points were almost depleted, only enough to buy an experience card. Dealing with Su Yang was sufficient, and he would buy the skill after he dealt with Qin Yu in the next few days.
As for the Mr. Su Yang in front of him?
Let's see how you'll pretend now?
How much money do you still have in your pocket?
Because it was a gift given to Su Yang by someone else, this black gold card was even an unregistered version... it's a nice little gift, I'll give it to your wife another day... Just as Su Yang was drenched in sweat, Yun Xiyue's face was as cold as ice, and the entire atmosphere was almost solidified, reaching an extreme level of awkwardness.
Young Master Lu Cheng finally had enough of the show.
After all, even if Su Yang stripped naked, he wouldn't find the card tucked into Young Master Lu Cheng's pocket!
He walked with a composed stride to the bewildered bridal shop manager.
His tone was still calm and easygoing, as if he wasn't paying an astronomical bill of over seventeen million, but merely the cost of an ordinary afternoon tea.
"Charge it to my account."
He paused, then turned his head to look at Su Yang, who was standing awkwardly, wishing he could just disappear on the spot. He patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"Mr. Su Yang, it's common to forget your wallet when you're out and about, don't take it too hard."
"Consider this bill today my meeting gift to you two."
"After all, I didn't bring any gifts last time I went to President Yun's birthday."
Su Yang listened to Young Master Lu Cheng's words, feeling the gestures full of brotherly affection.
Although there was unwillingness in his heart, he could only force out a smile uglier than crying, and said to Young Master Lu Cheng in a dry voice:
"Then thank you, Young Master Lu..."
He still naively believed that Young Master Lu Cheng did this all to... preserve his pitiful face and dignity in front of his wife!
If this isn't brotherhood, what is it?
This is what they call true friendship in times of trouble; he had even blamed Young Master Lu Cheng for appearing here before... But in Yun Xiyue's eyes, it was a completely different scene... Just now, in the changing room, Young Master Lu Cheng's "sinful hand"!
And her lips were still a bit swollen... Although the two hadn't broken through that last layer of unspoken barrier, it was only... a matter of not enough time.
How could she not understand!
Young Master Lu Cheng did this precisely for her... to prevent her dignity from being shattered by her useless husband.
He was also showing her that Su Yang simply wasn't worthy of her.
Watching Su Yang's grateful expression towards Young Master Lu Cheng, she actually felt a subtle sense of satisfaction from revenge?
He's clearly a good-for-nothing, why does he insist on pretending?
Let you pretend! Let you pretend!
You messed up, didn't you!
She turned her gaze to Young Master Lu Cheng, looking at his exquisitely handsome face, which also held a hint of a wicked smile.
She knew that she had completely and hopelessly fallen for him.
In her heart, she finally made her ultimate decision—Su Yang, let's get a divorce!
