Chapter 707: Chapter 707

Wang Xinxin stepped forward, pulled Li Lingyu’s hand back from Liu Chao, and then said to Liu Chao, "You really want those sneakers, huh?"

Liu Chao looked at Wang Xinxin with some annoyance. If it weren’t for Zhang Yang’s don’t-mess-with-me demeanor, he would have really been rude to Wang Xinxin.

"It’s none of your business, this is between me and Yu’er. Yu’er promised to give me this as a birthday gift."

Wang Xinxin was furious, and then said to Li Lingyu, "Fine, let’s go buy the sneakers."

Li Lingyu was stunned, not expecting Wang Xinxin to suddenly change her attitude.

Zhang Yang also didn’t quite understand what Wang Xinxin was up to, but he had no choice but to follow.

The happiest person was Liu Chao, as he was finally going to get his sneakers.

However, he didn’t like Li Lingyu’s attitude earlier, so he secretly decided that even if Li Lingyu bought the sneakers for him, he would make her treat him to a meal before forgiving her.

Soon, they arrived at the store. It must be said that those shoes were quite popular, with many people gathered around looking at them.

If it weren’t for the eight thousand yuan price, which deterred many, they probably would have been bought already.

Liu Chao excitedly said to Li Lingyu, "Hurry and buy them, or it’ll be too late. Luckily, I was foresighted enough to ask the owner to hold them for me."

Saying this, without looking at Li Lingyu’s reaction, he walked over to the owner.

"Owner, I’m back. Wrap those limited edition sneakers up for me," Liu Chao said confidently.

The owner looked at Liu Chao with some difficulty and said, "Sorry, handsome, you came a bit late. A customer here is already ready to pay."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chao immediately got anxious, "Didn’t you hold them for me?"

"But you didn’t come back for half an hour, so I thought you weren’t going to buy them. I’m really sorry."

The owner’s point was reasonable; they can hold it for a short while, but after half an hour, and if someone else comes to buy it, they’d be silly to keep waiting.

Liu Chao immediately turned angrily to Li Lingyu, scolding, "See, this is the result of you being twenty minutes late. What do you say about that?"

Liu Chao’s shout attracted the attention of those around them.

Li Lingyu blushed; she didn’t like being the center of attention.

Sorry out of habit, she apologized to Liu Chao, "I’m sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose."

Luckily, Wang Xinxin was clear-headed, "What are you apologizing to him for? You don’t owe him."

Then she scolded Liu Chao, "Something worth eight thousand yuan, and you dare to ask for it? How thick-skinned are you?"

Wang Xinxin had been bullied before, and standing up to bullies was something Zhang Yang taught her.

Shouted at by Wang Xinxin, Liu Chao felt humiliated, especially with everyone’s eyes on him now.

"What business is it of yours? It’s a birthday gift from my girlfriend," he retorted.

"Pfft, what have you ever given her? If you can name even one gift over two hundred yuan, I’ll transfer eight thousand yuan to you right now and apologize."

Wang Xinxin’s words hit Liu Chao where it hurt.

As Li Lingyu’s best friend, Wang Xinxin was well aware of the dynamics between Li Lingyu and Liu Chao.

You could say she couldn’t bear to see it anymore, and introducing Li Lingyu to Zhang Yang had something to do with that.

Now even the people watching were waiting for Liu Chao’s answer.

One college girl, eager to watch the drama unfold, shouted, "Well, have you ever given this sister a gift worth more than two hundred yuan?"

Liu Chao’s face turned red with embarrassment. He hadn’t, of course. His living expenses were barely enough for his own leisure, let alone buying Li Lingyu gifts.

"What I give my girlfriend is emotional value, not something that can be measured by money," Liu Chao suddenly said confidently.

Emotional value?

This line amused everyone present. It was an obvious admission he hadn’t given any valuable gifts.

The college girl sneered, "Give it up. With the way you just yelled at your girlfriend in public, don’t talk about any bullshit emotional value."

Wang Xinxin gave the college girl a thumbs-up, "Sister, you really get it."

The college girl smiled and added, "Why keep such a boyfriend around for New Year? Break up already!"

"Do you believe it? If you tell someone like him you want to break up, he’ll tally up expenses from the relationship and demand compensation, even for emotional damages."

This statement shocked both Wang Xinxin and Li Lingyu.

Because a few months ago, Li Lingyu had once mentioned breaking up, though it was just to test Liu Chao, hoping to make him care more about the relationship.

But the result was Liu Chao presenting a bill, clearly itemized, even including phone charges.

It was so absurd. From that moment, Li Lingyu truly woke up, and with Wang Xinxin’s guidance, she made up her mind.

"Sister, your prediction is spot on. You really guessed it right. Let me show you the bill he gave when my friend mentioned breaking up last time."

The college girl was taken aback, "Wow, he actually did that."

Other curious girls crowded around, while the guys shared amused and disdainful looks.

To be so petty over a relationship is truly disgraceful.

Of course, except in cases where girls are maliciously extravagant, demanding expensive jewelry and red envelopes. For such henpecked men, there’s both contempt and sympathy from the guys.

But obviously, Liu Chao wasn’t a henpecked man—just plain disgusting.

Liu Chao’s face alternated between pale and flushed. Meanwhile, the guy who was about to buy the shoes suddenly changed his mind.

Liu Chao was the first to notice and immediately told the owner, "He doesn’t want them, I do."

The owner, a woman munching on her popcorn, replied directly, "Handsome, you’re not going to ask your girlfriend for money again, are you?"

The female owner had glanced at the bill earlier; it included every trivial item, even a Valentine’s Day transfer of 52.0 yuan and phone charges.

It was unbelievable, and her half-amused, half-mocking tone hinted she was curious to see whether the guy had money or not.

She even added, "Since you like them so much, if you buy them, I’ll give you a 20% discount. You know, these shoes never get discounted."

Liu Chao was immediately thrilled, "Alright, I’ll take them, and let me tell you, I’m not going to ask her for money."
