"Nothing much. I just feel sorry for Tina. You let go of such a good man, and ended up with someone so stingy," Yana continued to provoke.
"Tina, a man can have money, but if he doesn't spend it on you, then he has nothing to do with you."
Before Tina could react, Yana kissed Ryan on the cheek and coquettishly said, "Honey, I've spotted a new bag. Let's go check if it's in stock."
"Sure, if you like it, we'll buy it."
With such a beauty in his arms, Ryan feelings for Tina began to weaken.
The two walked confidently into the nearby LV store, and Kaiden gritted his teeth. "You shameless couple. Tina, don't mind them, let's go."
He reached for Tina's hand again, but she dodged him once more and softly said, "Kaiden, I want to look at bags too."
Kaiden's scalp went numb at her resolute tone. Seeing her attitude, he could only beg, "Next time, I'll get you the latest model, okay?"
Tina turned and looked at him coldly. "Ryan is willing to buy her a bag. In your heart, I'm not as good as Yana, right?"
Kaiden persisted, "Don't be fooled. You don't know Ryan. That poor guy can't even afford a strap at LV, let alone a bag."
"What happened just now must be fake. I'll get my dad to investigate and expose their true colors."
"Hmph, if he buys it for Yana, then you should buy one for me!" Tina pressed on aggressively.
Kaiden, unwilling to lose face, reluctantly agreed, "Fine, if that poor guy can really buy one for Yana, I'll buy it for you too."
At this point, neither of them wanted to believe that the meal they had just had cost a whopping 110,000 dollars.
The two entered the store, where the saleswoman was already showing Yana the bag she liked: "Madam, you have great taste; this is the latest summer model."
"It's just arrived, and we only have two in stock. After the discount, it's 20,000 dollars."
Yana said sweetly, "It's a bit expensive!"
Ryan quickly took the bag and handed it to her, saying, "It's not expensive at all. Pack it up. Do you have any more expensive or better bags, maybe a limited edition?"
The saleswoman was delighted and responded, "Yes, yes, we have a commemorative limited edition bag, our store's treasure."
"Bring it here and let me see!"
Ryan said cheerfully.
At this moment, Kaiden sarcastic voice came from the side, "Did you see that? She's swollen her face this much."
Yana turned around and replied, "Such a loving couple. You came here to buy a bag for Tina, right?"
Tina called the saleswoman over, gritting her teeth, "Give me the other one of her bag."
When Kaiden heard this, he panicked and grabbed her hand, saying, "Tina, that bag doesn't suit you, there's no need to clash with her."
The price of 20,000 dollars was too much for his credit card's limit. To be honest, even if he had enough money, he couldn't afford to buy such an expensive bag for Tina.
"Is it that you don't want to buy it for me?"
Tina started to get angry.
"The bag is ugly, it doesn't suit you."
Kaiden gritted his teeth, glanced at it, and grabbed another bag, saying, "You're so beautiful, this one suits your temperament."
The saleswoman immediately showed a look of contempt, and when Tina saw the price of the bag, she was almost furious.
2,000 dollars might be acceptable elsewhere, but at LV, it was bottom-shelf clearance merchandise—outdated to the extreme.
"This style is even popular among knockoffs; I don't want it!" Tina tossed it aside and said, "I want that new model!"
Kaiden was instantly embarrassed. He gritted his teeth, put the bag back, and then forcefully pushed her, saying:
"Enough, Tina! Why are you making such a scene here? Why don't you take a look in the mirror and see if you even have the qualifications?"
With that, Kaiden turned and left without looking back.
Tina staggered back from the push, stunned for a moment. Seeing her distress, Ryan rushed over and quickly supported her, saying, "Are you okay?"
At this point, Clerk A spoke disdainfully: "See, I told you—don't judge by appearance. That young man in designer clothes is so stingy."
Clerk B chimed in: "Exactly, maybe all that designer stuff is fake."
"That's why it's so important to keep an open mind and never judge people based on their looks."
"Exactly. Look at this guy, he's dressed so plainly, but he cares so much for his girlfriend."
"He even bought a limited edition. If he were my boyfriend, I'd give him my sister to play with."
Tina, feeling utterly wronged, burst into tears, shoving Ryan away with a loud "wa" and sitting down in a chair, crying with her head in her hands.
Ryan was feeling conflicted, looking at Tina's pitiful expression, and Yana immediately grew wary.
Breaking off old ties is always difficult, especially when there's still a lingering connection. Her biggest competitor was Tina, and the power of Crocodile's tears was undeniable.
The two saleswomen, seeing Ryan at a loss, stepped forward to comfort Tina, understanding that her crying could affect the business.
At this moment, the saleswoman brought over the limited edition bag and eagerly introduced it: "Sir, this is the one."
"It's our store's treasure, discounted to 48,000."
Ryan was unsure of what to do, but he casually took out his black card and handed it over.
Yana, being considerate, said, "Brother Ryan, I don't need something so expensive. I think the one that costs a little over ten thousand is just fine."
Ryan, feeling a bit lost but knowing the main goal was to spend more money, casually said, "Both of these would suit you, but that one won't do."
"Go ahead and swipe!"
The saleswoman, delighted, immediately brought out the POS machine and began the transaction.
"Beep... payment received, 68,000!!!"
Watching Ryan swipe his card in front of her, it was the final straw for Tina. She burst into tears and ran out.
"Tina..."
Ryan felt deeply uncomfortable.
