Capítulo 1085: Chapter 854: How Dare You Smash It!

“Really?” Ye Jiuyou replied lazily, “Whether you believe it or not, I’m not going to fight with you now.”

Zhao Changhe was momentarily stunned, what do you want to do?

Do you really want to continue snuggling up here with me, leaning on my shoulder to enjoy morning tea and the view?

But then Ye Jiuyou said, “You’ve tried hard to let me experience human life, feeling the tenderness and care of a normal human woman with a man beside her… Now that I’m here, am I really just going to have breakfast?”

Zhao Changhe looked down at her and noticed a faint smile on her face, she really looked a bit like a human lady out on a date with her lover. Zhao Changhe was slightly lost in thought, unable to tell whether she was genuine or just pretending.

Of course, since the conversation has reached this point, he could only reply, “What else do you want to do, you tell me.”

“Buying only one set of clothes? That’s too deliberate.” Ye Jiuyou blinked, “I want lots to change into, including accessories. And I want bedding, cabinet, a complete home decor. I also want to eat many things, not just cotton candy and pastries. Unless you spoil me thoroughly, don’t expect me to practice martial arts with you.”

Zhao Changhe chuckled, “As you wish, my lady.”

“Did you bring enough money?”

“Honestly, not much… High-quality wood and jewelry are quite expensive.”

“Calculating how to purchase necessary items with a limited budget, isn’t that also a part of the human experience?”

“Generally, yes… But unfortunately, you’re playing the role of the Li Family’s miss, with King Zhao as your fiancé, so the only experience you’ll have is being spoilt by a domineering CEO.”

Ye Jiuyou didn’t understand the last few words, she was bewildered as she followed Zhao Changhe to settle the bill, and they returned to the clothing store from the other day.

The store was filled with all sorts of clothing, to be honest, Zhao Changhe wasn’t very good at choosing, he could barely tell which color might suit Ye Jiuyou, and Ye Jiuyou herself lacked any sense of aesthetics, casually picking up and comparing things before putting them back, her expression somewhat conflicted.

Zhao Changhe waved his hand decisively, “Everything she picked up to look at, pack them all.”

After saying that, he felt a bit regretful; the domineering CEO line lacked a bit of flavor without a vicious female supporting character snatching clothes, it would have been better if he could have said, “Pack everything except the ones touched by this person.”

Even so, Ye Jiuyou’s eyes were smiling with delight, “Is this what you call being spoiled?”

“Pretty much.” Zhao Changhe laughed, “Since I’m spoiling you, there’s no need for you to be overwhelmed with choices.”

The store owner was grinning ear to ear, thinking to themselves that gifting that bellyband the other day was truly worth it.

Ye Jiuyou laughed, “Aren’t your extravagances at odds with a ruler who loves thrift and cares for his people?”

Zhao Changhe replied, “If it’s to capture the heart of the Li Family’s miss, then such investment is definitely worth it. For me personally, I truly don’t have material desires.”

“So I have material desires? Let’s leave it at that, I don’t want to be the one to ruin the reputation of King Zhao.” Ye Jiuyou eventually chose three sets of clothes and, smiling, said, “Pay up.”

The store owner was so desperate they could cry.

Where’s the promise of buying all the clothes, how did it end up with only three pieces…

“As for accessories…” Ye Jiuyou smiled, “I want a ring.”

“Then let’s go pick one.”

“Why didn’t you buy me a ring last time?”

“In my hometown, gifting a ring carries a special meaning… Instinctively felt you wouldn’t want it, can’t be too hasty.”

Ye Jiuyou paused, turning her head with a seemingly amused look at Zhao Changhe, “Don’t you know… In our place, giving a necklace already carries a special meaning?”

Zhao Changhe was momentarily stunned, “Huh?”

“It means binding someone… Seems like even King Zhao doesn’t quite understand, huh…” Ye Jiuyou said impassively while heading into the accessory store.

Zhao Changhe stood outside, dazed for a long time… Since you know, what does accepting it mean? Accepting is one thing, but pointing out the meaning on purpose, what’s the intent behind that?

Why does it feel like the roles are somewhat reversed…

Over there, Ye Jiuyou was already picking rings, but unfortunately frowning and dissatisfied after a long time, even more than with clothes.

In this era, diamonds and platinum weren’t popular, only bright gold rings everywhere. Not that gold and silver aren’t good, but they indeed don’t suit Ye Jiuyou’s temperament. If Zhao Changhe were to choose, he’d give her a Dark Jade Ring, but unfortunately, they didn’t have one here, and the only similar material was a Thumb Ring, which wasn’t quite meaningful.

Zhao Changhe stroked his chin while accompanying her in observation, suddenly saying, “How about I make one personally for you.”

Ye Jiuyou turned to look at him.

Zhao Changhe said, “I’ll choose suitable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, personally carve an array, and make it into a Storage Ring. Well… although, for you, with boundless space always at your disposal, no need for a Storage Ring…”

Just like how she carries a mountain with her, nobody knows where she actually keeps it. Zhao Changhe also wasn’t sure whether she actually needed a Storage Ring.

Ye Jiuyou said, “Earlier you mentioned, in your hometown gifting this signifies what?”

“It signifies my proposal to the Li Family’s miss.”

Ye Jiuyou smiled faintly without comment, turned, and left the accessory store.

Zhao Changhe followed beside her, feeling that the past couple days he was full of tricks, suddenly didn’t know what to say, as if being outmaneuvered…

“Zhao Changhe, I want that!” Zhao Changhe snapped out of his thoughts, Ye Jiuyou tugged at his sleeve pointing at sugar-coated fruit in the distance, “That looks cute, is it tasty?”

“How do you define tasty?”

“Sweet is tasty.”

Zhao Changhe couldn’t help but laugh, went forward to pay, then turned to see Ye Jiuyou with a smiling face licking the candy, gaining a sudden realization in his heart.

There’s no trick or no trick, it’s just that she’s no longer as troubled as the past couple of days, completely opening her heart to enjoy everything in the mortal world with a man pampering her.
