Chapter 765: Are You Really Going to Give Me a Gift?

Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Are You Really Going to Give Me a Gift?

"I’m already married, so even if you like me, there’s nothing I can do to reciprocate,"

Shi Yaoguang said, sounding very pained, "Someone like me, I simply don’t deserve your affection, let alone let you into my heart."

As she spoke, she paused, as if hinting at something, "Besides, how do you know that you’re not already in my heart?"

Hearing this, Fan Yanshu experienced a moment of ecstasy.

Did her words mean that he had already entered her heart?

But he quickly came back to his senses.

The words of Shi Yaoguang were just that, spoken words.

Otherwise, his progress in winning her over wouldn’t have remained at a standstill.

With that thought, Fan Yanshu’s excitement instantly cooled down.

Shi Yaoguang had been paying close attention to his expression, observing the excitement that flared in him upon hearing her loaded words, and then the calm that followed, feeling that she had discovered something.

She didn’t know the purpose behind Fan Yanshu trying to win her over.

But one thing was certain, Fan Yanshu must have had an ulterior motive in trying to woo her.

If he was wooing her with the intention of ensnaring her in a love trap for her to help him with something, then her behavior just now should have touched him.

That is to say, his excited reaction just now was the expected one.

But seeing how quickly he regained his composure, it was as if cold water had been poured over him.

This was quite intriguing.

His quick recovery could only mean one thing.

That he had some kind of tool on him.

This tool could help him gauge her level of affection.

Thinking of such functionality, Shi Yaoguang’s first thought was—System.

After some preliminary probing, Shi Yaoguang could basically guess that he had a System.

Perhaps it was similar to the affection rating Strategy System she had encountered before.

The System, by way of ordering its host to pursue the target person, would siphon off the target’s luck.

With this in mind, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t wait to test whether her guess was correct.

She looked up immediately, gazing at Fan Yanshu, "Young Master Fan, I have a question for you."

"Go ahead," Fan Yanshu said earnestly, "as long as I know, I will not hesitate to say everything I can."

Shi Yaoguang nodded, then, as if a little embarrassed, said, "I’ve heard that a piece of jewelry called the Eternal Star System was once auctioned in G Country. I really like it..."

As she spoke, she gave Fan Yanshu a meaningful glance...

Oh no.

Strictly speaking, that was more of an explicit signal.

A look.

"Young Master Fan, I’m fond of such expensive jewelry, won’t you think I’m very vain and materialistic?"

Fan Yanshu: "..."

He couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

You’ve already admitted to your own vanity and materialism, and you have such a clear understanding of yourself, why still ask!

Without doubt, you are vain and materialistic!!!

He roared inwardly but maintained a gentle expression, "How should I put this? Yaoguang, you are the best, and if anyone accuses you of vanity and materialism just because you like a bit of jewelry, then they don’t deserve to be your friend at all."

"Really?" Shi Yaoguang’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at him, "I knew you were the best to me!"

After speaking, she bit her lip, seeming somewhat conflicted, "I know you want to be good friends with me, but... you really don’t need to buy the Eternal Star System for me."

"???"

Fan Yanshu originally thought that Shi Yaoguang just wanted to show that she loved wealth.

He never anticipated that Shi Yaoguang’s request would be for him to buy the Eternal Star System and present it to her!

Is this really a burden a friend should bear?

No!

And yet, Shi Yaoguang appeared completely oblivious to his difficulties, saying no with her lips while spilling every detail about the buyer of the Eternal Star System, "The Eternal Star System was bought by Brynner, a noble from F Country. He said he bought it for his collection, but I heard that there was an accident in the Brynner family recently, and they probably need to sell off their possessions urgently. If you approach him during this period, he should be willing to sell."

After saying all that, she acted as though she realized she shouldn’t have mentioned it, and immediately covered her mouth, "Ah, why am I telling you this? It’s not like I asked you to buy it for me."

Watching Shi Yaoguang’s exaggerated and hypocritical performance, Fan Yanshu felt his heart ache with each prod.

If he had committed a crime, it would have been better for Officer Sir to punish him than having him strategize over Shi Yaoguang, this hypocritical drama queen!

Not only was she hypocritical, but she was also greedy and vain.

And shameless.

The Eternal Star System was estimated to cost a ten-digit sum, and yet through various hints and implications, she made it clear that to become her friend, one must gift her the Eternal Star System.

When netizens previously criticized streamers for plucking feathers from geese, he hadn’t cared.

Now...

All he wanted to say was!

The streamers had actually been too lenient.

Shi Yaoguang was truly ruthless!

Just thinking about the value of the Eternal Star System made Fan Yanshu’s heart bleed.

Even if Shi Yaoguang was just a target he had to pursue, even if the money he had now wasn’t earned by himself.

But it was undeniably his own money.

Thinking about giving his easily earned money to Shi Yaoguang...

He felt life was hopeless.

And yet he had to do it.

After all, Shi Yaoguang was his target for pursuit!

Fan Yanshu struggled to convince himself to stay calm in his heart.

It was just money, right?

After winning over Shi Yaoguang, he could have much more!

Under a barrage of self-brainwashing, he finally convinced himself.

The look he gave Shi Yaoguang became exceptionally tender.

After understanding Shi Yaoguang’s hint, he took the initiative to offer a gift, "Yaoguang, I want to be friends with you, and I must give you a gift that you like. I was worried I couldn’t find something that would win your heart, but since you like the Eternal Star System, I could buy it for you."

Shi Yaoguang’s eyes glimmered as she looked at him, "Are you really going to give me a gift?"

"Of course."

Fan Yanshu strained to produce a smile.

Now, just the thought of Shi Yaoguang asking if something was "really true" cast a shadow on him.

A light word from her and he would have to bleed a heavy price!

This was simply inhumane!

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t care less about his inner turmoil.

With a shy expression, she stated what gift she wanted.

"If you don’t know what I like, you can just ask me. I like..."

At this point, Fan Yanshu was confused.

Hadn’t he already known that Shi Yaoguang liked the jewelry from the "Eternal Star System"?

As he pondered this, he heard Shi Yaoguang list a string of names, "I like Zeus’s luxury yacht, the full set of limited edition dresses from Ti Ka, the jewelry from CC House, and the latest unearthed gems and jades from ancient tombs..."

After she rattled off a long list of names, Fan Yanshu looked at her as if she were a monster.

Fan Yanshu truly couldn’t comprehend how Shi Yaoguang could be so shameless.
