Chapter 452 - 356: Gift Card
But she was a billionaire, after all. She had to act the part!
"Spend whatever you want! Buy anything you like! You’ll never run out of my money!"
As Wen Ying was showing off, her phone suddenly started to ring.
After answering the call, Wen Ying walked over to a tall tree, leaping up to sit on one of its branches.
She came down from the tree half an hour later.
It was unclear what had happened between Kong Jian and Little White in the meantime.
Kong Jian stood beside Little White, beaming. His mood had improved considerably, and he seemed to have grown a bit bolder too.
"A car will be here to pick us up in half an hour. Is there anything you want to buy?"
Little White and Kong Jian’s eyes lit up. In unison, they said they wanted to buy the local snacks Wen Ying had given to those fans earlier.
In the end, they each came away with a large bag.
Perfectly content, they sat on a long bench, munching on spicy strips while waiting for the car Wen Ying had mentioned.
A black car pulled up, looking rather understated.
The car stopped in front of Wen Ying. The driver got out and respectfully invited her into the car.
Then he walked over to Kong Jian and Little White, smiled at them, and reached for their bags of snacks.
However, what he thought was a simple task immediately hit a snag.
"What do you think you’re doing?!"
Little White glared fiercely at the man. ’How rude!’
"Try to grab it again and I’ll hit you!"
Kong Jian chimed in just as fiercely, clutching his own bag of snacks with one hand.
The driver was floored. "???"
In the end, the two of them carried their own large bags of snacks into the back seat, clutching them tightly.
They kept shooting wary glances at the driver in the front seat.
After driving for a while, the driver seemed to figure it out. "I think you misunderstood me. I just wanted to help you with your bags."
Little White snorted and ignored him.
Kong Jian followed suit with a snort of his own.
At a rest stop, the driver parked the car and took a 10,000-yuan supermarket gift card from his wallet.
"I’m sorry I frightened you. Please accept this as my apology. I’m really sorry."
Little White reached out and took the gift card. "Is this a bank card?"
’I know the human world uses these things,’ she thought. ’I didn’t expect this guy to be so savvy. According to the TV shows, does this card have unlimited money?’
"It’s a gift card, kid, not a bank card."
The driver’s words shattered Little White’s unrealistic fantasy.
But he gave Little White a piece of candy. "You can use the money on this gift card to buy things at that supermarket without paying out of pocket. It’s a very famous supermarket with tons of snacks. A lot of my friends’ kids love it."
Little White, who had been planning to teach the driver a lesson with a harsh glare, immediately beamed.
’Tons of delicious food, and I don’t have to pay!’
’Being human is the best! It’s pure bliss!’
Little White clutched the gift card in her palm. When she saw Kong Jian looking from the side, her smile instantly vanished.
She then tried to hide the card by her side.
Kong Jian stared at her. At her hand. At the gift card in her hand.
Little White felt so conflicted. "Stop staring! Fine, I’ll give you some!"
Kong Jian stared at it eagerly. ’If I have that much,’ he thought, ’I could sit with Shihuhu, eat snacks, and watch that TV Da Guo was talking about!’
"I’ll give you a thousand!" Little White said magnanimously, though her heart ached at the loss.
"It’s mine ’cause he gave it to me! Da Guo was already super generous, so you can’t be greedy for this too, got it?"
Although Kong Jian’s eyes were full of envy, he nodded obediently and began to calculate what delicious things he could buy with a thousand yuan.
Peach blossom pastries, candied fruits, a big ’ol hot pot!
’Wait, did something weird get mixed in there?’
’Doesn’t matter, as long as it’s tasty.’
And that super sweet drink he didn’t know the name of but was especially delicious.
Kong Jian’s concept of "snacks" was probably limited to the few things he had personally tried.
The peach pastries and candied fruits were things he had eaten at a restaurant while listening to music back when he was with Liger.
Although they ended up getting kicked out.
But the taste was still fresh in Kong Jian’s memory.
After waiting for a long time, Kong Jian had only managed to name those three "snacks."
Little White looked at him, a little puzzled. "Little Bro, do you even know what any of these snacks in your bag are?"
Kong Jian glanced at the bag of snacks beside him, paused for a moment, then nodded honestly.
’He didn’t recognize any of them, but seeing how much Da Guo liked them, and how colorful all the wrappers were, they had to be delicious!’
’This whole big bag of delicious things... I have to save them to eat with Liger...’
’Of course...’
Kong Jian glanced at the rapidly emptying bag beside Little White...
’Of course, I should probably share some with Da Guo, too, right?’
