“Please don’t seek revenge against the Li Family, ok?” Xia Ling said.

“Do you really feel bad?” Xia Moyan said lightheartedly.

Xia Ling was anxious. “Brother!”

“Fine, I won’t joke with you anymore.” Xia Moyan finished trimming the plants and kept the tools. “Let’s go. I’ll clean up, and then we can go shopping.”

Xia Ling said, “Are you really not going to seek revenge against the Li Family?”

It was said that women tend to side with outsiders. She had not married into the Li Family but was already thinking about them. The Preceptor was somewhat unhappy. “If we don’t go out now, I might really do something during this period.”

Xia Ling hurriedly went to change her clothes.

Xia Ling didn’t know that this sort of revenge was not so simple. Xia Moyan was able to destroy families, but he had to pay the price. Unless it was a blood feud, he would not go to this extent. He only wanted to joke with her and let her know that her family would always protect her.

“However...” Xia Moyan blinked and thought about it. There was still a way to help his sister a little.

While he was deep in thought, Xia Ling changed into a new set of clothes and walked out. She was wearing a beautiful and low-key dress with a silk scarf and sunglasses. She only revealed her slender figure and delicate jaw.

“Does it look good?” She twirled in front of her brother.

“Anything you wear looks good.” The Preceptor knew what to say due to his experience shopping with his mother.

Women were all easy to pacify. After hearing that she looked good, Xia Ling smiled brightly, twirled a few more times, and took his hand. “Let’s go.”

Xia Moyan placed a card in her hand.

“What’s this?” Xia Ling took the card and scrutinized it.

Xia Moyan said, “This is the interest of your pocket money over the years. Now that you’re alone and your family can’t support you much, you can use this money first. If it isn’t enough, you can tell me, and I will think of another way for you.”

When Xia Ling missed her family at the start, she did not expect that it would come with this sort of benefit, and she was caught off guard. Should she accept this sum of money?

“It’s not much.” Xia Moyan said, “You’re the Phoenix in the family, and the entire family is responsible for you ill-fate. This small sum of money is far from the burden that you carry. If you don’t accept it, the entire family will be very sad.”

Since he phrased it like that, Xia Ling accepted the card.

Xia Moyan took her to the highest end shopping mall in the city. It was filled with luxury flagship stores, had an elegant indoor environment and well-trained salespersons with excellent etiquette.

They strolled around and bought some dresses, shoes, and jewelry.

Sure enough, once a woman saw good-looking clothes, they could not control themselves. After shopping for a short time, Xia Ling’s mood was obviously better, and she looked like she was flying. Xia Moyan did not let her use her card. He took out his own card and said that he was just treating his sister.

Xia Ling rarely enjoyed the feeling of being spoiled by her brother, and after hearing that her family was very rich, she did not hold back. She spent so much money that even the salespeople started gossiping. “Which family is this girl from? She really knows how to shop.”

“What daughter of an eminent family?” A salesperson glanced at Xia Ling who was wearing sunglasses. “Don’t you see that a man is paying for her? Maybe she’s just relying on him. We’ve seen too many people like her.”

“I don’t think so.” Another salesperson said. “If she were relying on him, he wouldn’t be willing to spend so much money on her. Most of them are their wives or girls they are pursuing.”

“That makes sense.” The salespeople nodded.

Xia Ling didn’t hear their discussion, but even if she did, she wouldn’t care. Too many people criticized her, let alone these few salespeople. Today, she was really happy and left behind all of the troubles she had with Li Lei. She felt that she could live without love. He was just a man who took advantage of her, and she would not be upset the entire day because of him.

She bounced and danced around in the shopping mall.

Xia Moyan put his hands in his trouser pockets and followed her. Though she bought too many things, he was very experienced in telling the salespeople to deliver the items to her address.

The mall was very large and had just been renovated to look like a maze.

Xia Ling was like a child explorer looking around in the shopping mall. Unknowingly, she walked into a shop with a strong scent of incense. There was red and black silk underwear displayed on the shelf, and several female staff smiled cheerfully.

She paused in her footsteps and felt that this was not a place she should be at. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a familiar voice. “How’s this? Will it be too rough?”

When she looked up, sure enough, it was Nangong Qingya. She was holding a rose-colored fishnet suit. Wow, its inferior style was something someone would see in the red light district...

It turned out that Nangong Qingya liked this sort of thing?!

Xia Ling was shocked and stared at her.

Sensing that someone was looking at her, Nangong Qingya turned around and said in a disgruntled voice. “Who is there? What are you looking at so suspiciously? Staff.” She flew into a rage at the staff. “Don’t you welcome one customer at a time? How can you let someone sneak in?!”

The staff felt wronged. The lady who snuck in did not enter from the main entrance, so they did not notice her.

“This lady, I have to trouble you to wait outside for a while. We...”

Before the staff could finish, Xia Ling already took off her sunglasses. “Nangong Qingya, you were just with Li Lei during the blind date a few days ago. Are you going to buy this suggestive underwear today? I couldn’t tell that you were such a loose woman. I bet you’re hooking up with other men at the same time. You should leave Li Lei as early as possible, you hear me!”

She said in a threatening manner.

Li Lei and Nangong Qingya only met a few days ago, and it was impossible that they progressed so quickly. It was unlikely that Nangong Qingya bought these things to seduce Li Lei. The only possibility was that she was seeing someone else at the same time. Xia Ling’s mood improved even more. Wasn’t it delightful that she defeated her love rival so easily?

Unfortunately, when Nangong Qingya saw her, her originally angry and flustered look quickly returned to normal. She looked up with some arrogance and said, “Oh, how can it be that I’m seeing another man? Miss Ye, I’m very sure you know why I’m buying these clothes and who I’ll be wearing them for. I would like to advise you to be clear of your status and not have unrealistic dreams.”

Xia Ling’s face turned ashen. What did Nangong Qingya mean? Could it be that she really bought these clothes with the intention of wearing them for Li Lei? No, that was impossible. They only met for a short two days. How could they progress so quickly?!

She looked at Nangong Qingya coldly. “I won’t allow you to buy them!”

“What a joke. How are you qualified to stop me?” Nangong Qingya snorted.
