The kidnapping incident from yesterday ultimately concluded with a dramatic ending.
Various media outlets rushed to report on it.
Professional kidnappers actually got the wrong person, and even the gender of the hostage was mistaken!
And yet, these kidnappers dared to go live and threaten others under false pretenses!
Moreover, there were rumors that the professional kidnapper boss later discovered that the victim had sent his own brother to prison, which made him even angrier.
Thus, the victim was tortured to the brink of death.
The officers who barged in couldn't help but feel nauseated at the tragic scene of the battle!
But none of that had anything to do with Mu An.
He was just an emotionless bystander!
Today, he planned to take Gong Nanyan to check out the store that was about to reopen, and also do some shopping.
The moment he saw Gong Nanyan, Mu An was stunned.
"Xiao Mu, don't... don't look at me like that, I only have these kinds of clothes now..."
Gong Nanyan felt a bit shy under Mu An's intense gaze.
She was slightly bashful and uneasy, like an eighteen-year-old girl.
Those flawless, snow-white legs were breathtakingly beautiful!
In fact, this dress was something she had worn a long, long time ago.
It could even be traced back to her teenage years!
Over the years, she had hardly bought any new clothes for herself while taking care of Gong Youbai.
She basically just kept wearing whatever was still usable.
[Although this dress is old, it represents her once-lost youthful days. Gong Nanyan was afraid you would find it outdated, feeling a bit nervous and uneasy, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +9 million]!]
"Sister Nanyan, you look really beautiful!"
Mu An sincerely complimented her.
"I knew you were just flattering me, who is your Sister Nanyan...?"
Gong Nanyan's anxious heart inexplicably relaxed a lot, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
She still had that charming allure of a mature woman, making it hard to resist.
Her fair face was flushed, like a lotus petal just emerging from the water.
Pure and untainted, yet not overly seductive.
Even if someone said she was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, many would believe it!
"Sister Nanyan, I helped you so much by pretending to be Youbai's father before, don't you think you should call me 'good brother' to hear?"
Mu An once again took on the role of an actor, smiling as he lifted her chin, his words quite bold.
Especially thinking that she might be the Dragon King's woman made him inexplicably more excited!
[Hehe, I really look forward to the Dragon King protagonist giving me a gold coin explosion too!]
"Okay... good brother..."
Gong Nanyan felt very shy inside.
But she still stammered through the 'request', or rather, the 'reward' was also acceptable.
In fact, this was the first time she had ever called someone such an intimate name, so feeling shy was quite normal.
[Emotional fluctuation +20 from Gong Nanyan's shyness, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +20]!]
[Gong Nanyan is very grateful that you temporarily played the role of Gong Youbai's father, allowing a child who has lacked paternal love since childhood to feel warmth and happiness, emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +5 years]!]
...
Not long after, Mu An drove his sports car to the largest mall in the city center.
Due to some extremely bold words from a certain someone, Gong Nanyan was continuously receiving emotional rewards along the way.
"This dress must be uncomfortable to wear, let me take you to buy some clothes!"
"And let's also buy some clothes for that little girl Youbai! My 'wife' and 'daughter' can't live so poorly!"
Having received quite a few emotional rewards, Mu An was in a great mood now.
So, in the exclusive floors of various high-end clothing stores, the two walked and stopped, constantly weaving through them.
At first, Gong Nanyan thought they were just going to casually buy a few pieces of clothing and leave.
But Mu An's actions far exceeded her expectations!
He bought clothes without looking at the price or which brand it was.
If he liked it, he bought it!
If it fit, he bought it!
If it looked good, he bought it!
If he thought it would be useful in the future, he bought it!
All kinds of styles, clothes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Big ones, small ones, long ones, short ones, inside ones, outside ones... all were prepared!
In just a short while, Mu An had no idea how many times he had swiped his card or how much money he had spent!
Many store managers were bowing and scraping to them, their attitudes unexpectedly polite, almost treating the two as ancestors!
Some high-end store managers even waited outside specifically for the two to visit their store.
This made Gong Nanyan feel a bit dazed.
She felt as if she had returned to her youth, back to the days when she was the daughter of the Gong family!
Unfortunately, those days were long gone, like a fleeting mist.
They had long since dissipated and been lost!
Now, she only had Youbai by her side, and... him!
Looking at Mu An's back, Gong Nanyan's beautiful eyes gradually filled with a mist of emotion and affection.
The past was gone and no longer mattered.
What mattered was that she was already very satisfied with her current life!
[Thinking about how you are willing to spend so much money for yourself, Gong Nanyan felt very shy and touched, emotional fluctuation +13, congratulations, you have received the reward [One Set of Clothes that only Serious People can Wear (The Set Includes but is not Limited to Cat Ears, Whips, Necklaces...)]!]
[Looking at your safe and reliable back, Gong Nanyan's fondness for you subtly increased +1+1+1+1+1... emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +1 million]!"
[Gong Nanyan feels she has met a truly right man, just when she has feelings for him, her daughter also likes him, and he can help her share the life pressures she had to bear alone for many years, emotional fluctuation of gratitude and affection +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Tenfold Cashback Card *1]!"
[Tenfold Cashback Card *1]: Upon settling this shopping, all spent money will be refunded tenfold!
——————
Listening to the crazy rewards popping up, Mu An felt a bit emotional.
Indeed, sometimes as long as a man is willing to spend money on various things for a woman, it can lead her to automatically pursue him.
It can also deal quite a bit of 'psychological damage'!
The tactic of spending money seems very cliché, but it is indeed very effective!
No wonder some protagonists in feel-good literature like to spend money to show off; there is indeed a reason for that!
Moreover, while it seemed like he was spending a lot of money, with the reward of the [Tenfold Cashback Card *1], he actually made a tenfold profit!
In simple terms,
the more he buys now, the more he earns!
Although Mu An might not lack money and didn't care about how much he spent, this was essentially a zero-cost purchase!
This kind of 'reverse profit' made him quite happy!
