Xi Chenxiao took out the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles and showed the entire gadget to Su Jin. He also wanted to show her how to use it. After all, this gadget if used well, could save one’s life while killing the opponents instantly. Xi Chenxiao explained,
“This gadget is a lifesaver at a critical moment. Although it’s a little expensive, if money can preserve your life, it’s all worth it.”
Su Jin was speechless when she heard this. So much money just to buy a small gadget to save her life? If this money was given to her directly, she could totally earn more money. Su Jin took the wooden box from Xi Chenxiao and looked at him with a serious but slightly distressed expression.
“Hubby!”
Xi Chenxiao felt a little weak when he heard Su Jin call him hubby. He did not notice the reluctance or dissatisfaction on Su Jin’s face, only her seriousness. He got nervous thinking that the girl might not like this concealed weapon… Wouldn’t it be a total waste of effort then? Xi Chenxiao asked nervously,!!
“I’m here. What’s the matter?”
Su Jin looked at the wooden box she was holding and kept calculating how much money it would cost every year. Although the gift was paid for by Xi Chenxiao, they were married so wasn’t it also her money? How could she not feel distressed? Moreover, now that Su Jin was practicing martial arts diligently, wouldn’t such a gift make her lazier? Su Jin looked at Xi Chenxiao and said firmly,
“I only want to study ancient martial arts now and become a master, so don’t buy this gadget for me. Don’t insult me with concealed weapons!”
Xi Chenxiao and Xi Tian were both stunned when they heard this, especially Xi Tian. When he heard Su Jin’s words, he could hardly breathe and almost went straight to heaven. If this was an insult to Su Jin, Xi Tian hoped that someone would insult him like this every day. The more the better! Su Jin ignored their reactions and continued,
“Oh right, I think these ten needles are enough. Of course, if you have too much money to spend, you can transfer some to my account. You don’t have my account number yet, right?”
As she spoke, Su Jin walked to the table, picked up a pen and quickly wrote down her account number on a notepad. She would be exceptionally happy if she were given the money directly. She just felt it a waste to spend all this money on such small gadgets. After Su Jin finished writing down her account number, she passed the note to Xi Chenxiao and said quickly,
“Hubby, if you want to buy me something in future, don’t buy it. Just send the money to me according to the price tag!”
Xi Chenxiao was completely dumbstruck by Su Jin’s behavior. What kind of response was this? Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t Su Jin be moved to tears? How did it end up like this? This didn’t seem right! Su Jin flashed a sweet smile at the dazed Xi Chenxiao and continued,
“Hubby, I’m a very pragmatic person. I like practical things!”
Xi Tian was speechless when he heard this. Madam’s words were very direct and practical. It simply broke Xi Tian’s view on women. After all, no woman had ever dared to speak to the chairman like this. Even those gold-diggers who tried to get close to him before weren’t so direct!
After a moment of silence, Xi Chenxiao looked at the note he was holding. He did not expect Su Jin to really write down her bank account number, even the name of the account holder. He looked at Su Jin in puzzlement. Was this girl so short of money? Why didn’t she tell him before? Why else would it turn out this way? Xi Chenxiao could not help but ask,
“Darling, am I not feeding or clothing you well here?”
Su Jin was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly smiled. The devil had indeed fed and clothed her well, but who wouldn’t want more money? Besides, Su Jin really didn’t have money in the past. Even if she had some now, it’s all for use. When Su Jin saw Xi Chenxiao’s expression, she replied quickly,
“No, it’s just that as a woman, what’s the use of just having enough food and clothing? The most important thing is to have money on hand! That’s the right way of life!?
