The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

After a moment's thought, Gu Yuebai spoke first: "An icy jadeite bangle, fully green."

Li Sha was pleasantly surprised, but as a long-time store manager of eight years, she could hardly show her anger on her face.

She gave a professional smile, opened the innermost hidden cabinet, and took out three brocade boxes.

She opened the brocade box one by one, and said while holding hands, "These are three icy green jadeite bracelets, from left to right: one with floating flowers, one with half full green, and one with full green. The prices of the three bracelets are also different: the one with floating flowers is 500,000, the one with half full green is 800,000, and the one with full green is 1 million."

"One million!" Gu Yuebai almost vomited.

Damn it, we've lost out big time.

Di Liuyue took one million!

Song Lan is no longer a wealthy socialite. After her divorce, she received 30 million yuan from Hu Zhiwei. She is now alone and supports herself through her clinic.

She couldn't afford to be careless. After all, out of thirty million, there weren't many worth a million.

Song Lan took a deep breath, took out the full-green bracelet, put it on her wrist, and tried it on. The quality, the sophistication, the class—it all instantly became more refined.

"How big is your wrist, Auntie?"

Gu Yuebai tested Song Lan's wrist. "About the same."

"Okay, this one. Wrap it up for me and swipe my card." Song Lan took out her bank card from her bag without hesitation.

Gu Yuebai grabbed her wrist and snatched the bank card back.

Then, he took out his card and handed it to the store manager, Li Sha.

"Swipe my card."

Song Lan tugged at Gu Yuebai, about to say something, but Gu Yuebai shook her head. "Listen to me. I'm taking you to see my mother, not so you can spend a fortune bribing her. I'll pay for this bracelet, you pay for it. When we get home, just say you bought it."

"This..." Song Lan was speechless with difficulty. She sincerely wanted to buy this bracelet. One reason was to please her future mother-in-law, but her greater intention was to bring about a future for her and Gu Yuebai.

"Sweetie. Listen to me. Those nutritional supplements and alcohol, do you think I'll part with them? I've got plenty of money, don't be shy."

Song Lan was still somewhat unwilling.

"Swipe the card, swipe the card." Gu Yuebai handed the bank card to Li Sha, then hugged Song Lan tightly.

"You're my girlfriend, how can I let you spend so much money? Silly girl."

At this moment, Song Lan could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her cheeks.

Gu Yuebai felt sorry for her and quickly wiped away her tears. "Don't cry. You'll look all messed up."

"Mind your own business." Song Lan hugged Gu Yuebai tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

Li Sha tactfully took the bank card and the three brocade boxes as well.

Soon, Li Sha returned, carrying a handbag from Xiao's Jewelry, and handed the bank card back to Gu Yuebai.

"Sir, your purchase today amounts to 1 million. Thank you for your patronage. This is our VIP card. You will receive a 5% discount at all Xiao's Jewelry counters in the future."

Song Lan took the VIP card and said indignantly, "I've been a customer of your Xiao's for seven or eight years, and I've never seen you give me a VIP card!"

Li Sha said awkwardly, "Dear Miss, our store's policy is that only those who spend over one million in a single transaction are eligible for a VIP card."

Song Lan gave a light snort, which was taken as an admission that she had never spent a million at once.

After taking the bracelets, the two pushed the cart to pay. They then went to the brand clothing store on the third floor, where Song Lan, following Gu Yuebai's description, selected 12 outfits for the three elders, covering spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Fortunately, the staff at Xinduhui helped deliver the goods to the car. They could have delivered them directly to the door, but considering that it would be too much trouble for them to carry them to the car later, they decided against it.

It was almost eight o'clock when they finished shopping, and neither of them felt like going back to cook, so they found a Chinese restaurant nearby and had a quick bite.

Back at Xishan Villa, the two walked hand in hand along the community's walkway, cuddling romantically.

Little did she know, a girl wearing the black casual suit that Gu Yuebai had bought for her was hiding in the darkness and had witnessed everything.

Di Liuyue had no idea that Gu Yuebai already had a girlfriend; she always thought that Gu Yuebai was still single.

She always thought they could...

Her heart suddenly felt heavy and painful, and for some reason, tears seemed to come out at this moment, out of control.

The mist in her eyes made it impossible for her to see the two people clearly. She only felt frustrated, upset, and wanted to escape.

She retreated step by step, watching Gu Yuebai's back, shaking her head repeatedly, covering her mouth with her arm to wipe away her tears.

But why can't I stop crying?

She thought to herself: Why am I so sad? Why am I sad? Who is he to me? Why should I be sad for him?

He has never said he doesn't have a girlfriend, has he? He has never admitted that she is his girlfriend either.

It's all because of that pretense. Why did we have to pretend?

You shouldn't have barged into my heart.

Gu Yuebai! I hate you!

Di Liuyue turned around, covered her mouth, her thin lips trembling slightly, and ran away from Xishan Villa with all her might.

But Gu Yuebai knew nothing about any of this.

The two took a walk in the neighborhood. After a while, as the number of people in the neighborhood gradually decreased, they went home.

Once home, Gu Yuebai lay down on the sofa, flat on her back.

"Oh, that feels good."

Song Lan quickly tidied herself up and went straight into the bathroom.

She felt exhausted today.

Gu Yuebai sat on the sofa with her phone in hand. She glanced at the screen, which appeared perfectly normal, and without thinking much of it, opened the news app. A news article popped up.

News about the Shaw Jewellery Group.

Today, Xiao's Jewelry Group spent a fortune at the Xiling Auction, acquiring a five-ton jadeite rough worth 500 million yuan, becoming the top bidder at the Xiling Auction House.

The news article also included a picture of the raw material.

Gu Yuebai thought to herself: I wonder if I can see through such a large piece of raw material?

The sound of running water in the bathroom stopped, the glass door opened, and a fair, beautiful, and alluring body wrapped in a bath towel walked out.

The hibiscus comes out of the clear water and is carved naturally.

Song Lan's beauty is the true mature, sophisticated type. To outsiders, her demeanor is somewhat aloof. Just now, when she stepped out of the bathroom, her expression was cold and distant, keeping everyone at arm's length.

But when she looked at Gu Yuebai, the iceberg seemed to melt away under the sunlight.

Dressed so simply, Song Lan walked up to Gu Yuebai and sat down next to him.

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Yuebai's eyes widened in disbelief; those full breasts were something she would never forget.

He swallowed hard, his voice slightly hoarse, and said, "You little devil, you're testing my patience!"

"I'm challenging you, what are you going to do about it?"

Gu Yuebai slammed his phone onto the sofa and instantly scooped Song Lan up in his arms.

"Go take a shower first..." Song Lan whispered, nestled in Gu Yuebai's arms.
