Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 230

Lin Mengting gave Sun Weiqi a look of approval before proudly saying, “I spent less than ten thousand yuan.”

She paused and then added, “For twice this amount of stuff.”

“How could it be so cheap?” Sun Weiqi asked in disbelief. His brow furrowed as he continued, “Were you scammed?”

Those people better pray they never run into him, or he would make them regret it.

“Don’t talk nonsense! Do you think I’m that easy to fool?” Lin Mengting glared at him, shocked that he could think so little of her.

“No, no!” Sun Weiqi quickly waved his hands and explained, “I was just worried someone might take advantage of your kindness.”

That explanation was no better than saying nothing.

Lin Mengting rolled her eyes and walked up to him. She pinched his side, giving him a 360-degree twist.

“If I hear you say that again, I won’t forgive you so easily next time!”

Sun Weiqi nodded heavily, deciding he needed to train his self-control. He couldn’t let Lin Mengting’s beauty make him spill his true thoughts so easily.

Lin Mengting was his girlfriend and deserved to be pampered, not treated like the tough soldiers who could withstand his harsh words.

Sun Weiqi would soon learn the truth behind “imagination is beautiful, but reality is harsh.”

Slapping himself in the face was always a quick lesson.

But that’s a story for another time.

“You know I’m a sales rep,” Lin Mengting said, raising her chin proudly. “I bought all this at the lowest employee discount from the factory.”

So, it was normal to end up buying a lot more.

“During holidays, companies give out benefits, so I took advantage of the discounts. If bought at a big store or supermarket, these would cost forty or fifty thousand.”

That’s the difference between retail, wholesale, factory prices, and employee discounts.

“Tingting, you’re amazing!” Sun Weiqi praised her without hesitation. “There’s no one like you in the entire army, so frugal and good at managing a household.”

“Of course!” Even though she knew his words were exaggerated, Lin Mengting still accepted his praise without modesty.

At the same time, she offered her own praise.

“Of all the people I know, there’s no one like you, so responsible and dependable, with such a strong masculine presence. Just standing there, you make people feel safe.”

Even a stoic person like Sun Weiqi couldn’t help but smile at her compliment, though his usual stiff expression made the smile look a bit odd.

But neither Lin Mengting nor Sun Weiqi cared about that.

At that moment, they were both engrossed in sorting through the items, sharing a natural sense of teamwork.

…

How did this happen?

Half an hour later, two more large boxes were in front of Sun Weiqi.

“Tingting,” Sun Weiqi said, wiping his face in frustration, “I really can’t take all this.”

“Of course you can,” Lin Mengting said, rolling her eyes. “Put two in the trunk and two in the back seat. It’ll be fine.”

She suddenly remembered the spaciousness of a military jeep and asked, “The trunk can fit three boxes, right?”

“No,” Sun Weiqi replied firmly. If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to return comfortably.

“Who are you trying to fool?” Lin Mengting shot him a disbelieving look, then got up and rummaged around the room, soon emerging with another big box and several plastic bags.

“Stuff these bags in the gaps between the boxes. The front passenger seat can hold a few more.”

“Tingting, why do I feel like I’m your kept man?” Sun Weiqi joked, realizing he couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to.

“Kept man?” Lin Mengting looked at him in shock. “What part of you is fair-skinned? Your teeth?”

“Then… a kept dark man?” Sun Weiqi glanced at the boxes and half-jokingly complained, “Tingting, you’ll spoil me like this.”

“Isn’t that good?” Lin Mengting’s eyes turned into crescents as she smiled. In both her past and present lives, she loved shopping. During holidays, she couldn’t resist the urge to buy, making shopping and unpacking packages a routine.

However, she often ended up setting aside what she bought and forgetting about it for months.

Meanwhile, her desire to buy more would flare up again.

Non-perishable goods like snacks and health supplements lasted a long time.

But fresh fruits often ended up spoiled before she got around to eating them.

…

Now, she finally had someone to help deal with everything!

Wasn’t this a perfect “division of labor”?

She handled the buying, and he took care of the consuming.

It was a match made in heaven.

“Okay,” Sun Weiqi sighed, feeling a strange chill on his back. He had a bad feeling about this.

His years of military training gave him a sharp sixth sense, and it told him that this ominous feeling was related to Lin Mengting.
