I hung up the phone, humming a little tune as I walked to the cloakroom. The space was adorned with high-end gowns, limited edition handbags, and dazzling jewelry, and my gaze sharpened. 0
 
These were all gifts from Xi Qishen over the past few days. 0
 
I casually picked out a fiery red slip dress, paired it with a champagne-colored cocktail dress adorned with diamonds, and slipped on a pair of high heels. I turned around in front of the mirror, nodding in satisfaction. Tonight's goal was to secure that diamond necklace worth millions; I needed to look my best. 0
 
By evening, Xi Qishen's car arrived punctually at the hotel entrance. 0
 
I appeared right on time at the upscale restaurant he had reserved. 0
 
He had been waiting for quite some time. When he saw me, a glimmer of astonishment flashed in his eyes. 0
 
"You look beautiful today," Xi Qishen said as he stood up to pull out my chair, his tone gentlemanly. 0
 
"Ding—" My phone chimed with a notification of a bank transfer. 0
 
I opened it to find five million! 0
 
Xi Qishen was quite efficient in his dealings. 0
 
A smile crept onto my lips as I tucked my phone into my handbag. 0
 
"Thank you," I said gracefully as I sat down, placing my Hermes Birkin bag beside me, exuding an air of wealth with every gesture. 0
 
Xi Qishen observed my every move with an inscrutable expression. 0
 
"I heard you bought a diamond necklace at Cartier this afternoon?" he asked casually. 0
 
 
I smiled slightly, reaching up to tousle my hair, revealing the sparkling diamond necklace around my neck. "Yes, I think it suits me quite well, so I bought it." 0
 
"You seem to really like luxury items," Xi Qishen asked tentatively. 0
 
I shrugged innocently. "Who doesn't like beautiful things?" 0
 
After a brief silence, Xi Qishen's gaze shifted toward me. "I heard the foie gras here is particularly delicious." I casually remarked while flipping through the menu. 0
 
"As long as you like it," he replied in a calm tone, though a complex emotion flickered in his eyes. 0
 
After placing our orders, I picked up the champagne on the table and gently swirled it in my glass. 0
 
I noticed the change in his expression and felt a surge of satisfaction. It seemed my plan was working. 0
 
Today, he wore a dark suit that made him appear more mature and composed, adding an air of mystery about him. 0
 
In the private room of the upscale restaurant that evening, I deliberately wore the diamond necklace worth millions, swaying it in front of Xi Qishen. 0
 
"Honey, do you think this necklace is beautiful?" I blinked at him with eager anticipation. 0
 
Following my gaze, Xi Qishen frowned slightly as he looked at the necklace. 0
 
His eyes lingered on it, deep and contemplative. "It's very beautiful." 0
 
"Do you like it?" I pressed on. 0
 
Xi Qishen picked up the red wine from the table and gently swirled it. "I like it." 0
 
I extended my hand, took off the necklace, and placed it into Xi Qishen's palm. 0
 
 
Outside the restaurant, the night was as dark as ink, with a gentle breeze blowing. 0
 
I nodded, my eyes sparkling. "As long as you like it, I'm willing to give you anything." 0
 
Xi Qishen fastened the necklace around my neck again, his fingers lightly caressing my skin as he spoke in a low tone before walking away. 0
 
"System, what is Xi Qishen's favorability level now?" I silently asked in my mind. 0
 
"The target, Xi Qishen, has a favorability level of 85% towards the host." 0
 
It seemed that my "materialistic" behavior had instead sparked his desire to conquer. 0
 
"System... this... this..." The system's voice was intermittent, as if it might crash at any moment. "This... deviates... from the forced love... trajectory..." 0
 
"Don't worry, everything is under my control," I said confidently, a glint of cunning flashing in my eyes. 0
 
I picked up my wine glass and gently swirled it. The ruby-red liquid shimmered under the light, reflecting my current mood—full of anticipation and excitement. I took a sip of the red wine and focused my gaze on Xi Qishen. 0
 
My eyes traced the outline of his shirt collar, casting a seductive glance. "This necklace is really beautiful. Thank you, Qishen." 0
 
He ran his fingertip along the back of my hand, his voice deep and husky. "I'm glad you like it." He paused for a moment before adding, "As long as it's what you want, I'll give you anything." 0
