Chapter 194 - 194 I’m Just Afraid I Give You Too Little

194 I’m Just Afraid I Give You Too Little

“What’s wrong? Is it the chair?” Li Yanchen hurriedly stepped forward and disconnected the wires.

“No. I… was afraid I would fall asleep, so I think I hit myself too hard on my thigh,” said Lin Wan.

He stroked her hair. “Sleep if you want. I will wake you. Does it hurt a lot?”

“No, it doesn’t. Go, go. Do what you need to. Don’t worry about me,” she said as she covered her thigh with her palm.

“Sleep if you’re tired. I’ll wake you up later.” Li Yanchen was afraid that Lin Wan would do something stupid again.

“Alright,” she said. Lin Wan closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

By the time Li Yanchen was done with his work, it was past two hours. He turned off his computer and stood up to massage his neck.

He looked at the massage chair. Lin Wan had fallen asleep. He walked to her. “Wanwan,” he said softly. “Let’s go.”

“Are you done?” She opened her eyes.

Li Yanchen took off his jacket and covered Lin Wan. “I am sorry I took a long time.”

“Are we going back to the hotel now?” she asked.

“We will go to Chuanming first. I’ll satisfy you with anything you want today.” Chuanming was the largest cosmetics mall in country H, and it included all kinds of international brands.

An hour ago, Lin Wan had checked about Chuanming on the internet. The cosmetic brand she used was there too!

For a person like her who valued her face very much, shopping in a cosmetic store was her main hobby besides sleeping.

Her entire set of cosmetics usually cost less than 10000 yuan. So, she thought that it was affordable and would not be a huge amount for Li Yanchen.

“Thank you, Mr. Li,” she said.

When they reached Chuanming, she only took a few things for herself. When Li Yanchen returned to her side after paying for the things, she realized something was wrong.

He carried two bags of cosmetics for her. Lin Wan hadn’t bought so much so she opened the bags to check. He had bought ten bottles each of the items she had chosen.

Before Lin Wan could ask, he said, “I can only work on the quantity of the products you have chosen.”

“But why so many? Can I return some of them?”

“You can’t.”

“But why?” she poked his arm. “The shelf life for most cosmetics is only three years. These are all huge bottles that I can’t even finish in a year. What a waste!”

“I know. You can give them as gifts to your fans from your live stream,” said Li Yanchen. He knew Lin Wan bought very little for herself because she didn’t want to spend his money.

In the past, when he had talked with Assistant Qin, he had mentioned that people could do anything for money. Li Yanchen earned a lot but he wasn’t someone who squandered his money without thought. But ever since he had married Lin Wan, he felt that he wasn’t giving her enough.

“Wanwan, it’s a good thing for a woman to be independent, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t spend her husband’s money. I feel like I am giving you too little. I hope you can trust me and can rely on me. Don’t hold back just to be polite.” When Lin Wan had refused his Black Card last time, Li Yanchen had felt like she had refused his love.

Lin Wan looked at the aggrieved man. ‘Weren’t the rich businessmen always afraid that their wives might spend too much of their money? Why is he angry when I refuse to spend his money?’

Lin Wan wrapped her arms around his waist. “Why are you getting angry?” she asked.

“Please take the card, for my sake,” he said “You must spend at least 500000 yuan this month. Otherwise, I will be angry.” Li Yanchen took out his Black Card and stuffed it into her bag.

“But there are only a few days left for the month to end! I am with you almost every day, so I don’t even need the money. Where will I spend it?”

“When you return to Yun City, you can ask Xia Mo to go shopping with you.”

Lin Wan had never thought she had to worry about spending very little money. “Oh, how the world has changed!”

“What?”

“Nothing. Let’s go back to the hotel for now. The children might be back already.” She held onto his arm.

In the living room of the hotel suite, the three children held the souvenirs they had bought from the amusement park and waited for Lin Wan to return.

In Li Zexuan’s hand was a 90 cm long Elk Doll that he wanted to give to Lin Wan. When he was at the Elk restaurant, he had felt that the deer’s face shape was quite similar to Lin Wan’s, so he had bought it.

Li Zexin was holding a mermaid princess crystal keychain. The princess had a purple crown on her head. He felt that the mermaid princess looked like Lin Wan.

Li Zekai held a red car model, which was a gift for Lin Wan.

When they bought their gifts, Li Zexin had asked his youngest brother if he had picked the car because he liked it himself. The little kid had denied it. He told him that he would buy a red Porsche for Lin Wan in the future. But for now, since he didn’t have enough money, he would gift her the toy car.

When his two older brothers heard this, they felt ashamed of themselves. They hadn’t expected their youngest brother to have such ambition.

Li Zexin, who had been making fun of his brother, apologized. “Red does suit Ms. Lin,” he said.

On the way home, the three children showed off their gifts in front of Zheng Gong. “Is this all for Ms. Lin only?” he asked.

“Yes!” said the three children at the same time.

Zheng Gong had a bad feeling about this. He dropped the children to the hotel and then texted his boss. “Mr. Li, I have dropped the children to the hotel. Unfortunately, I need to get going as I have something I need to do at the company.”

Zheng Gong quickly escaped from the scene, afraid that his boss would snap at him for not staying back.

Li Yanchen and Lin Wan opened the door, chatting and laughing. The three children stood in a row.

“What is this?” Lin Wan asked as she looked at the human wall in front of her.

“Auntie!” The three of them greeted her and ran to the sofa to get the gifts they had bought for her.

“This is for you.” They ignored Li Yanchen.

Lin Wan was speechless.

Li Zexin stuffed the keychain into Lin Wan’s hands. “Auntie, this is my gift to you. You’re like a mermaid princess with a crown on your head. You’re the Queen of our family.”

Li Zexuan then pushed the Elk Doll into Lin Wan’s arms. “Ms. Lin, this deer’s face is very similar to yours. There’s a blanket inside its stomach.”

The youngest, Li Zekai, squeezed through. He only had a chance to speak after his brothers were done. “Auntie, this is a model of a Porsche. I don’t have any money now, but when I earn money in the future, I’ll give you a Porsche. You can even drive it.”

Lin Wan did not know what to say. She hugged the children. “Thank you so much for the gifts. They are lovely.”

“Ms. Lin, have you eaten yet?” Li Zexin asked.

...

Li Yanchen looked bitter. “We haven’t eaten but suddenly I have lost all my appetite.”

“Where is Mr. Li’s gift?” asked Lin Wan. She thought that the children were deliberately trying to make Li Yanchen jealous.

“Mr. Li doesn’t lack anything so we didn’t get him a gift,” they said.

Li Yanchen took off his shoes and carried the two bags of cosmetics inside. He felt left out.

Lin Wan raised her eyebrows. “Mr. Li, I will buy a gift for you. What do you want to eat today? It will be my treat.”

When the three children heard that they were going out for dinner, they cheered and jumped for joy.
