Li Bin strongly suppressed the urge to kiss her, reminding himself that he had to be patient when courting a girl, especially since she was his sister-in-law—he needed to take it step by step.
No rushing! Otherwise, haste wouldn't let him enjoy the hot meal; it'd only backfire.
"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? I'm your brother, we're family, and besides, we share the same fate." Li Bin naturally placed his hand behind Wen Lan's head, gently pressing so she'd rest her head on his shoulder.
"Wen Lan, you're going through a lot; if you want to cry, let it out without holding back. If you feel bad or have any problems, tell your brother—I won't let you feel mistreated." Li Bin stroked Wen Lan's soft, thick hair, greedily and delightfully breathing in her sweet body fragrance.
[Current status: Happy, calm, touched, grateful, alert, shy, uneasy]
[Intimacy: +3 (64 Familiar)]
Seeing alertness and unease in Wen Lan's status, Li Bin knew this was the limit—pushing further might have the opposite effect.
"Alright, Wen Lan, it's getting late; let's go eat." Li Bin started the car, skillfully driving out of the garage.
After that intimate contact, their relationship had grown considerably.
On the way, Wen Lan was bolder and livelier, probably because she could now keep chasing her dream.
Relaxed and happy, Wen Lan propped her long, pale legs up on the passenger dashboard, humming a cheerful tune. Her round, soft, long legs were a tempting sight for Li Bin.
Li Bin found a big nearby mall, and after eating Korean BBQ with Wen Lan at her suggestion, he went shopping with her.
Li Bin had anticipated that after eating, Wen Lan would want to shop, so he picked the area's biggest mall, MixC Mall. The main reason? It had a Louis Vuitton store.
Li Bin's goal today was simple.
Spend money! Use a financial and emotional offensive to unlock his sister-in-law Wen Lan's heart.
Spending money has its technique. For example, if he just gave Wen Lan 100,000 yuan to spend, with her proud personality, she'd surely refuse, and her suspicion of him would grow instead.
After all, as brother-in-law and sister-in-law, handing her money directly would make it seem like he had ulterior motives.
But supporting her dream, helping her chase it in the name of family—that's a whole different game.
Same with buying bags!
Li Bin could easily buy a Cartier watch for his wife Wenwan, but he couldn't do the same with an LV bag for his sister-in-law Wen Lan. He needed to create the right opportunity for her to accept the gift naturally.
That way, it'd be more effective and touch her heart deeper.
Knowing Wen Lan liked bubble tea, Li Bin took advantage of her trying on clothes to buy two Starbucks coffees.
"Brother-in-law, how about I buy you some clothes? Your stuff looks a bit old." Seeing Li Bin approach with the two Starbucks cups and a smile, Wen Lan happily took the tea and hooked her arm around his.
"Sure, I trust your good taste—you'll definitely pick something that looks great on me." Being arm-in-arm with Wen Lan sent a wave of excitement through Li Bin, his heart swelling with joy, almost like they were dating.
Being with Wen Lan made him feel like he was back in his college days.
"Miss, do you want this piece? It looks great on you—ask your boyfriend." At that moment, a saleswoman approached with a friendly smile, holding a dress.
"Ah!~~"
The saleswoman's comment made Wen Lan blush instantly, letting go of Li Bin's arm and saying shyly, "You got it wrong!~~ He's my brother~~"
Li Bin smiled, pointing at the floral dress in the saleswoman's hands and asked Wen Lan, "Do you like this dress, Xiao Lan? It's really pretty."
Just for the saleswoman's smooth talking, Li Bin decided to buy the dress.
"No, no~~ I have plenty of dresses at home~~ Besides, everything here is so expensive~~" Wen Lan whispered to Li Bin, tugging him to leave.
Li Bin smiled lightly and told the saleswoman, "Pack it up, I'll take this dress."
I've still got over 800,000 yuan to burn—buying some clothes is a piece of cake.
Having money really feels damn good.
