Reborn with Consumption System

Chapter 271 - 153 Little Monster_2

The situation was too complicated for an ordinary person to handle. That’s why smart people wouldn’t meddle blindly; isn’t living well enough? Playing it safe until the end often led to a greater chance of reaping benefits...After some more idle chatter, Pan Ge still ended up dragging Xi Luting into Chanel.

Pan Ge had a very clear goal: to find a cashmere coat for Xi Luting—the same style she herself was wearing, the newest model from the 2013 winter collection.

In Han Lie’s eyes, it was a very pure and elegant coat, and Pan Ge looked especially ladylike in it.

But when Xi Luting tried it on, well... she was absolutely stunning.

She was too tall—both statuesque and slim—with an incredibly strong personal style.

Wearing the same size coat, the hem fell to Pan Ge’s knees; with her hands tucked in the pockets, she looked both demure and sweet.

On Xi Luting, the hem hung midway down her thigh. She wore it unbuttoned and open, her stride long and confident, emphasizing her already long legs even more. Added to that was a high-fashion model’s cool, aloof face; she looked both chic and assertive.

"Awesome!"

Pan Ge clapped her hands in satisfaction, looking even more excited than Han Lie.

"It suits you perfectly! This is it! You dog, go pay!"

Han Lie was thoroughly puzzled. What kind of trick is she playing? Why would she suddenly want to wear the same outfit as Xi Luting?

Strictly speaking, there was no question of one outshining the other when they wore the same clothing. Pan Ge’s physique was also very good, with a full C+ bust, a slender waist, and rounded hips, perfectly proportioned. Xi Luting was 12 centimeters taller than her, with legs for days, but her clothes lacked curves in the front. Both styles actually looked good. However, whenever there was a clothing clash, comparisons were inevitable. Everyone has different aesthetic tastes, so their judgments of the two women would naturally differ.

Han Lie preferred the way Xi Luting wore it. Hmm, it just felt like Xi Luting’s style was more likely to stir his desire to conquer.

Unsure what Pan Ge was up to, Han Lie didn’t dare to ask and obediently went to pay.

Xi Luting opened her mouth as if she wanted to stop Han Lie, but for some reason, she ultimately didn’t speak and instead bit her lower lip.

The total came to 126,000.

A lightbulb went off in Han Lie’s head, and he suddenly understood Pan Ge’s underlying meaning.

Such an expensive piece of clothing—if it hadn’t been the same model Pan Ge was currently wearing, Xi Luting might not have accepted it.

Although Little Cucumber does have a bit of vanity, her fierce streak is real. Xi Luting is different from Yu Yun; she has never accepted expensive gifts from suitors, nor has she ever kept any admirers on the hook. Trying to win her over with money isn’t easy. And Pan Ge’s method might be the only feasible tactic: to trigger Xi Luting’s competitive spirit, making them face off in the same outfit and leaving her no chance to back out. A moment’s hesitation, and Han Lie would have already paid. Once it became a done deal, it would be too late for regrets. With Xi Luting’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t back down. Wear it then, who’s afraid of whom?! With such a beginning, things would be much easier later on. This was called seizing every opportunity...

Han Lie didn’t know if his guess was correct, but judging from a psychological perspective, the logic formed a closed loop.hen, I’ll book a room for the two of you, so you can pour out your hearts to each other!"

"Oh, come on!" Han Lie gasped. "This ’pouring out your hearts’ of yours, is it even proper?"

PFFT!

Xi Luting finally couldn’t keep a straight face and burst into laughter, then quickly covered her mouth.

Pan Ge looked at Xi Luting in bewilderment. "Your sense of humor..."

"Exactly, her sense of humor has always been a bit below the belt," Han Lie said with a mischievous smile, revealing her secret.

Xi Luting’s face turned red, while Pan Ge looked at her with newfound respect and gave her a thumbs-up.

"Impressive, truly impressive. I really didn’t expect that..."

Xi Luting flushed, flustered. "Get lost! Your moans are way more shameless than mine!"

Pan Ge didn’t back down. "At most, I moan a little, but I’ve never screamed ’Brother, faster!’ or anything like that!"

"Do you want to die?!"

Unable to win the argument, Xi Luting instinctively charged forward. Pan Ge instantly became a pushover, thrashed relentlessly.

Well, it looked like Han Lie was out of the picture again...

The dynamic with all three of them together was still strange and hard to describe. Their playful fight didn’t cease until they reached the watch boutique, and the awkward feeling was slowly dissipating.

However, when it came time to look at watches, Xi Luting started to get antsy again.

Well, it’s understandable, I guess. After all, the watches Pan Ge liked were all too expensive, and Xi Luting felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Hey, this one’s nice. Try it on!"

"Don’t you think it’s too expensive...?"

"When I tell you to try it on, just try it on. What’s the price got to do with you? Are you looking down on our family’s new moneybags?"

"I don’t want it."

"So you want to be taken advantage of by that jerk for free? Think about all the suffering you’ve gone through!"

"Shut up! Mention it again and I’ll hit you!"

"Okay, okay, I won’t mention it. Just try on the watch, don’t waste time. Go on, make your dear brother happy!"

"..."

"Are you implying something again?"

"No, no. Besides, I’m not into those kinds of ’rides’..."

Honestly, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Han Lie really couldn’t believe that the one calling the shots was the usually submissive Pan, while Queen Ting was being surprisingly docile. Even having witnessed it, he still found it somewhat fantastical. Good heavens, did Pan Ge seriously plan on being the master of his harem?! This reversal was just so damn ridiculous.

Han Lie observed and pondered silently, feeling that Pan Ge was becoming more and more enigmatic, her thoughts increasingly inscrutable. Her easy shifts between playful laughter and sharp rebukes, all handled with such finesse, made it difficult to discern her true self from pretense.

Everyone grows, and the reason BOSSes are BOSSes is that they grow far faster than normal people. Xi Luting was already quick, but Pan Ge was even quicker.

Han Lie suddenly realized that his act of courting death seemed to have truly unsealed something, unleashing a monster...

Xi Luting was probably done for; she was definitely no match for Pan Ge. I just don’t know... would the household-guarding beast be up to the task?
