Bai Shanshan covered her mouth in shock as she counted the digits one by one: individual, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... and finally confirmed that she had just made a one-time income of 98 million!
Rounding up, that made her a billionaire!
Having seen Bai Jiaoyue's personality message video before, she was sure this must be Bai Jiaoyue's doing, "Mrs. Bai is so awesome!"
Suddenly having such a huge sum of money, Bai Shanshan's first thought was that she was going to treat everyone to dinner that night!
No, she was going to cover all expenses from now on!
Glancing at Shen Fu, billionaire Bai Shanshan suddenly felt like she could keep a toy boy, so she pinched Shen Fu's cheek. This older guy had pretty good skin, and was sleeping like a log, without any reaction.
Shen Fu wasn't unresponsive, he just didn't know how to react.
One of his personalities, who he wasn't very familiar with, suddenly pinched his face. What did that mean? Was she coveting his good looks, or did she find him especially appetizing?
Fortunately, Bai Shanshan didn't take any further action. When the movie was over, she shook Shen Fu awake, "Come on, I'm taking you shopping!"
Exiting the cinema, there was a large shopping mall. Before looking at clothes, they first came across a Vacheron Constantin watch store.
"Honey, I'll buy you a watch!" Bai Shanshan said on a whim.
"You know, I don't have the habit of wearing a watch. It affects my speed of typing and driving."
"You can take it off when typing, and you can develop the habit. Now you're somewhat of a boss, wearing it will give you prestige. Manager, which is the most expensive watch you have here!" Bai Shanshan declared boldly.
Shen Fu tried to persuade her again, "This kind of small store in the mall probably doesn't have very expensive watches."
Hearing this, the manager perked up. Usually, in their line of work, they were slapped in the face by protagonist customers, but now it was finally his turn to have a comeback!
"Ah, sir, you are mistaken. Our store might not be big, but it contains only the best. Let's not talk about the others; please look this way. This Traditionnelle series watch, model 80172/000P-9589, is crafted from 950 platinum, with a manual mechanical movement, priced at 5.2 million. It is the treasure of our shop, and the price of 520 is also very fitting for couples like you!"
"We're not a couple, we're husband and wife," corrected Shen Fu, then glanced at the others. Indeed, this was the most beautiful one, "We'll take this one, then."
Bai Shanshan was right. Attending business events, dealing with stars, big directors, business elite, or literary celebrities, it was essential to have a watch that represented taste. It's just that the price... Sigh, it meant working for nothing this month.
Just as Shen Fu was about to swipe his card, Bai Shanshan confidently stepped in front of him, "Honey, this watch is a token of my affection, so of course, I'll pay for it!"
"You're paying?" Shen Fu was surprised. Although his manuscript fees were transferred to her every month, the copyright income was in his hands, which was the bulk. The money she had was for daily household expenses; she probably couldn't afford this watch.
Bai Shanshan smiled slightly and flipped a Bank of China card out of her purse, "Pay the bill!"
"Miss, please enter your password."
Bai Shanshan entered the password, but it was wrong. The manager still smiled, "It seems you've remembered the wrong password."
Bai Shanshan instantly became nervous, "But this is always my password~"
She tried again, but the password was still incorrect.
Think about it, Bai Jiaoyue, all your capital comes from Shen Fu. Buying him a watch, what's the big deal? And you even changed the password. In the end, we're virtually the same person, and even I have to guard against myself!
I despise you→_→!
Seeing that the 98 million on the card was immobilized, Bai Shanshan's expression changed in an instant, "About this watch, actually, it's just okay. How about we..."
Shen Fu smiled slightly and handed over his card, "Use this one instead. Xiaodie, do you like any of the watches? I'll get one for you."
"I don't want it, I don't want it," Bai Shanshan hurriedly waved her hands. "Wearing that thing affects my eating!"
At this moment, she was a bit embarrassed. She had wanted to imitate Bai Jiaoyue, to act the part of a domineering female CEO, but in the end, alas, she was nothing!
In fact, Shen Fu was somewhat moved. If it had been Xiaodie, she definitely wouldn't suggest he buy a watch worth millions. It's not that Xiaodie's way was bad; there's a good side to living a normal life, but the thrill of impulse buying had its own appeal too.
Of course, this was predicated on having the capital for impulse purchases. Shen Fu's card happened to have exactly ten million in it, so he could afford a watch of 520 thousand.
If he had to buy two such watches, well, he'd have to switch to another card.
With the watch on his wrist, Shen Fu naturally put his arm around Bai Shanshan's shoulder, "Come on, let's go buy clothes!"
Shen Fu hugged her like that, but aside from feeling awkward herself, she didn't say anything; it seemed she really hadn't seen Xiaodie's video.
"I'll buy a pair of pants," Bai Shanshan eyed a sportswear brand, always feeling it's too risky to wear a skirt around Shen Fu—it could be, cough cough, lifted so easily. Pants are better, and autumn is coming—good for keeping warm.
Especially those with a somewhat loose waistband, so you don't suddenly feel it tighten around your waist while eating.
Because of the initial failure to show off, Bai Shanshan wasn't very enthusiastic when buying clothes. However, after Shen Fu bought her a skewer of candied fruit, her mood improved a lot. By the time they left the mall, it was already past five o'clock.
In the car, Bai Shanshan licked the sugar residue from the corners of her mouth, her movements adorable, causing Shen Fu's heart to race. Woman, your damned sweetness!
If it had been Xiaodie, Shen Fu would definitely have wiped it for her, of course, not using his hands.
But this was Bai Shanshan after all, and Shen Fu sighed in his heart, "Seat belt on, let's go~"

As if she had been preparing for it, Bai Shanshan arrived at the place and reported her order straight from the menu.
"Give us a portion of grilled wagyu, Island Country lobster, tempura, broiled eel, a bluefin tuna sashimi platter, sweet and sour shrimp, almond tofu, sea urchin jelly, plus two servings of miso soup."
After ordering, she passed the menu to Shen Fu, "Your turn."
Shen Fu was stunned, "Weren't the ones just ordered enough for the two of us?"
The server beside them was smiling wryly, "That's enough, the sashimi platter and grilled wagyu are quite filling."
"Not enough. Those are just for me," she declared.
Shen Fu looked worriedly at her small stomach. It had only been four hours since lunch, and they had eaten a skewer of candied fruit in between.
"Then just get me a salad and your signature eel over rice," he ordered sparingly, ready to clean up whatever Bai Shanshan couldn't finish.
Shen Fu spent less than 200, while Bai Shanshan managed to spend over 3000. Comparing the prices, she even felt a bit embarrassed, so she said, "Then you can have some of mine later, but not too much. Some dishes can be gone in one bite."
Shen Fu smiled, but felt slightly bitter inside. Multiple personalities usually stem from the shadows of childhood trauma. Bai Shanshan, a protective foodie, what kind of hardship did Xiaodie go through in her childhood?
Thinking of this, Shen Fu really wanted to hug his wife sitting next to him, but then he found that Bai Shanshan had taken off her shoes and quickly sat cross-legged on the opposite seat.
Ha, with her short skirt and long legs, she definitely shouldn't sit next to this lsp. This is what Bai Shanshan thought, but she said, "Husband, I need to watch you eat to enjoy my food."
Yet during the meal, Bai Shanshan never looked up at Shen Fu again. So much for "a feast for the eyes," sigh, such a wasted effort!
So when it came to paying the bill, Shen Fu suggested, "Wife, why don't you treat this meal?"
"Ah, how could you say that? You're the husband!" Bai Shanshan gently caressed her belly as if she were three months pregnant, accusing a jerk of a dad.
Shen Fu said with a laugh, "Then how about we go Dutch—I'm 180, and you're 3600."
"You also ate my grilled wagyu!"
"I only had the beef; I didn't touch the hot plate," Shen Fu took a step back, "Okay, then I'm 190, and you're 3500~"
Bai Shanshan was still hesitating.
"Or I'll pay 200, and you 3400. I can't concede any more; you ate my eel over rice, too."
Bai Shanshan said mournfully, "But I forgot my bank password~"
Shen Fu pointed to her phone, "You have change in WeChat."
"Do I?" Bai Shanshan, who had never paid before, fiddled with her phone. Wow, there were actually several hundred thousand in change.
So she became magnanimous again, "What Dutch? We're family; no need for such formalities. I'll pay for this meal, 3400 plus 200, that's 3600, right?"
The receptionist: "That's not right, not right! Though I can't say where the problem is, something is definitely off!"
