Sun Li followed Quan Jiu for a day, and the only conclusion he reached was that she must be a rich woman.
"I live in Lijing Yuncheng, but I don't have access control. I work in Guanghuan Building, but I don't have an employee ID."
The houses in Lijing Yuncheng cost tens of millions. After seeing this, An Changxian was completely relieved. No matter who the beautiful woman was relying on, her foundation was clearly solid. Moreover, the more solid the sugar daddy, the older they usually were, which was very advantageous for him.
The next step was to figure out what kind of person the beautiful woman was and then tailor his approach.
He told Sun Li to keep following.
Sun Li couldn't get into the building, so he waited on the street. He waited until after six in the evening before seeing the target appear. He quickly drove to follow her, and this pursuit led him to Milei Bar.
Sun Li had collaborated with An Changxian many times. Seeing the target enter the bar, he was overjoyed.
"You're good, you managed to get someone so beautiful. She's already in Milei Bar, do you want to go have a chance encounter?"
An Changxian smiled smugly. He had seen many women and could judge the woman's personality just from this action.
"She was too embarrassed to ask for my contact information yesterday, but today she's shamelessly trying to pretend to have a chance encounter. A typical tsundere personality, tough on the outside but soft on the inside. For this type of person, you have to be polite first." And once you win her over, she'll be loyal.
An Changxian could already see countless banknotes flying before his eyes.
"Are you coming or not? She's already appeared, and my mission is considered complete." Sun Li wanted to leave.
An Changxian persuaded him, "Wait another two days and see. I'll pay you in three days."
The client is always right, so Sun Li had no choice but to continue tailing her. However, this time it wouldn't be troublesome, as the target had already created an opportunity. He just needed to stake out Milei Bar every day.
...
Ever since encountering Chu Rong again in the parking lot, Quan Jiu had become smarter. She parked her car in a temporary spot in the adjacent building. As expected, she had a peaceful few days, and Quan Jiu gradually relaxed.
Life continued to flow by day after day. If there was anything different, it was that every evening Quan Jiu would go to Milei Bar for half an hour. She would order just one small drink, sit in the same seat, as if waiting for something. Due to her stunning beauty, she quickly became a fixed fixture in Milei Bar.
Sun Li, who was responsible for tailing her, finally had something to report after three consecutive days of surveillance.
"Today is the fourth day. She comes every day, sits at table twenty-three every day, and stays for half an hour before leaving."
As soon as he sent the message, he saw the target getting up to leave. Sun Li checked the time; it had only been a little over ten minutes. He quickly sent another message, "She left early today. If you don't come soon, her patience will run out."
An Changxian hummed a tune happily. This was it, today was also the last day of his guess. In fact, he was already at the entrance of Milei Bar at this moment.
Quan Jiu walked out of Milei Bar with her bag, but was bumped by a man walking towards her, causing her to stagger and almost fall. She impatiently huffed, "Don't you have eyes? How are you walking..."
"Sorry, sorry, I was looking at my phone and didn't notice you. I'm sorry, I... Hey, it's you! I remember your name is... is... haha, sorry, my memory is bad." An Changxian said with an apologetic and concerned expression, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Quan Jiu's eyes widened, and she bit her lip, feeling a little wronged, "Is my name hard to remember?"
An Changxian said awkwardly, "No, I really have a bad memory. How about this, you tell me again, and I'll write it down. I promise I won't forget again." As he spoke, he took out a pen.
Quan Jiu chuckled, then immediately suppressed it, raising her chin proudly, "Quan Jiu. Quan from 'quanli' (power), Jiu from 'jiutian zhi shang' (nine heavens above)."
An Changxian wrote Quan Jiu's name on the back of his hand and praised, "That's a beautiful name, like a queen from high above."
Seeing someone else approaching from behind, Quan Jiu moved to the side and asked indifferently, "Do you come here often?"
"I come occasionally. The food here is good," An Changxian said with a smile, and quickly asked, "Are you leaving?"
Quan Jiu shook her head and shrugged, "No, I just came out for some fresh air."
An Changxian was inwardly laughing heartily. What a clumsy performance! He had seen through it long ago. Those women who put on airs loved to play these little tricks.
On the surface, he said politely, "Miss Quan, are you alone today? How about we share a table?"
Quan Jiu glanced at him indifferently, appearing very nonchalant, "Whatever, I'm alone anyway."
The two returned to table twenty-three.
The waiter, seeing Quan Jiu return, felt a bit awkward and stepped forward, saying, "I'm sorry, madam. I thought you had left and cleared the table."
Quan Jiu waved her hand dismissively, "I just went out for some air. It's fine, I'll just order another drink."
An Changxian immediately said, "Let me, what do you want to drink?"
"Monroe. I drank it last time. It's their signature Monroe, quite good."
An Changxian's heart skipped a beat again. A set of Monroe had twelve small cups and cost eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight.
As expected of a spendthrift princess.
He paid the bill, and soon the waiter brought the drinks.
Quan Jiu took a sip and put down her cup, asking curiously, "You mentioned last time that you were almost trapped and died in the desert. How did you get back in the end?"
An Changxian had memorized his lines and blurted out, "I walked for three days and three nights in the desert. I saw a mirage and chased after it. I didn't find the mirage, but I encountered a camel caravan. I almost missed them. It was fate that I wasn't meant to die, and the camel caravan saved me."
Quan Jiu nodded in astonishment, "That was indeed very dangerous."
An Changxian smiled and shook his head, "What I experienced as a child, this doesn't count as dangerous..."
An Changxian spoke until his throat was dry, and Quan Jiu listened with great interest. After chatting for nearly half an hour, An Changxian finally suggested, "Why don't we go for a stroll? Drinking all the time is boring."
Quan Jiu thought for a moment, "Okay, I'm fine with anything, I have time anyway."
"Trying too hard to hide something. You want to be with me, but you still have to find a clumsy excuse." An Changxian sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he went along with it, "There's a Wanhua Mall nearby, shall we go take a look?"
"Okay." Quan Jiu got up with her bag and walked out first.
...
Wanhua Mall was only a two-hundred-meter walk away. As soon as Quan Jiu entered the mall, she was like a happy little sparrow, looking around at everything with curiosity. "I haven't been shopping in so long. Before, merchants would deliver goods to my door. I've almost forgotten what it feels like to buy things in a store."
An Changxian was pleased again. Home delivery usually meant haute couture. It seemed that Miss Quan's sugar daddy was very generous to her. Of course, if he could afford to gift her a house worth tens of millions, what were a few pieces of clothing?
"Buy anything you like, I'll treat you," An Changxian said.
Quan Jiu shook her head, "I can buy it myself. We're not that familiar, why should I use your money?"
An Changxian smiled, "That makes me sad. We've had a chance encounter twice, so our fate isn't shallow, is it?"
Quan Jiu pouted and remained noncommittal, her eyes scanning around.
Suddenly, she pointed to a brand store and said, "Luhe! Their clothes are very beautiful."
"Let's go take a look then." An Changxian walked ahead.
Quan Jiu trotted to follow him, as happy as a silly sweet girl.
The two entered the Luhe clothing store. The sales assistants, seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman, immediately became interested and stepped forward to enthusiastically promote their products. In less than a minute, they had brought three outfits for Quan Jiu.
"Try them on. Our clothes only show their true effect when worn," the sales assistant urged.
Quan Jiu didn't refuse. She walked around the store and finally chose one. In total, there were four outfits, which she took to the fitting room.
One had to admit that the beauty was not only beautiful but also had a good figure, with a curvaceous body that made the clothes look even better. The sales assistants were even more attentive, praising her to the skies with every change of outfit. In the end, after much praise, all four outfits looked good.
Quan Jiu didn't hesitate and decided to have the sales assistant pack all four outfits. Then she went to her bag to get her wallet to pay.
An Changxian symbolically handed over his bank card, "Let me, I said I'd buy them for you."
"No need." Quan Jiu pushed it away and continued rummaging through her bag.
The sales assistant, while cutting off the tags, kept glancing between the two, seemingly guessing their relationship.
An Changxian offered his card again at the right moment, "Let me do it. What kind of logic is there for a lady to pay?"
"Oh, really, no need." Quan Jiu was getting a little impatient, her head almost buried in her bag. "Strange, where is my wallet? I clearly remember bringing it."
An Changxian's heart skipped a beat. He was about to withdraw the bank card he had offered, but the sales assistant took it ahead of him.
Whether it was out of fear that they would change their minds or for some other reason, the sales assistant swiped the card with lightning speed and looked at An Changxian with a smile, "Sir, please enter your password."
Quan Jiu pouted a little displeasedly, pulling her head out of her bag. "I already said I'll pay. Fine, fine, then I'll give you something next time, you can pick whatever you want."
An Changxian instinctively wanted to ask how much it cost, but the words caught in his throat. He forced himself to swallow them. No, he couldn't let his efforts go to waste here.
His heart trembling, he entered the password, praying it wouldn't be too expensive. It was just a few clothes, at most tens of thousands of yuan. It shouldn't be a problem.
"Ding~" A text message arrived.
An Changxian glanced at it. The purchase was fifteen thousand. That was fine, it was okay... Wait, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... a hundred thousand. What the heck... His face instantly turned pale, and he felt like he was on the verge of a stroke.
