Chapter 277: Don't_2
A playful smile appeared on her face, and she then looked at the middle-aged woman with a stern face and said, "Didn't you see that I've already taken him under my wing?"
"Crap..."
Liu Wentian looked towards Sheng Qianmei, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears. What was all this madness?
The middle-aged woman looked at Sheng Qianmei's figure and appearance, a flash of jealousy crossing her eyes, followed by disdain as she said, "So what if you've taken him under your wing? How much money can you give him? I'll just pay you back and take him with me!"
After she finished speaking, she sized up Liu Wentian from top to bottom, excitement gleaming in her eyes as if she wanted to devour him, then smiled slightly and said, "Not bad, with a high nose and clear eyes, and the physique is pretty good too—definitely not the type sculpted by a gym. He must be great in bed, tell me, what's your price? As long as you can satisfy me, I will definitely treat you right!"
Liu Wentian heard this and felt a surge of annoyance, followed by disgust.
This woman's eyes were lustful, her hips loose, and there was a flush of red between her brows—clear signs that excessive sexual activities had left her body frail with some hormonal imbalance. Yet here she was, aiming her desires at him!
Before Liu Wentian could speak, Sheng Qianmei stood protectively in front of him like a mama bear, looked at the middle-aged woman angrily and said, "He's my boytoy, what do you want? Leave now or I won't be polite!"
Liu Wentian looked helplessly at Sheng Qianmei, thinking, could this grandma stop playing around? The looks from people nearby were getting increasingly strange, a mix of contempt and envy.
When the middle-aged woman heard Sheng Qianmei's words, her face darkened, and she scoffed, "A little girl like you wants to compete with me?"
Having said that, she threw a seductive glance at Liu Wentian and said, "Come with me—one month and I'll give you 30,000!"
Then, she looked triumphantly at Sheng Qianmei.
For the average office worker struggling through a month, even several thousand is a lot, but here she was, starting the bid at 30,000—it was no small amount.
However, Sheng Qianmei blinked her big eyes, looking very surprised, and said, "Why are you so stingy?"
The middle-aged woman's face stiffened, her eyebrows furrowing, then she again looked at Liu Wentian and said, "Come with me—one month for 50,000!"
"Stingy," Sheng Qianmei muttered, rolling her eyes.
"You..."
The middle-aged woman's face was already showing signs of doubt. Keeping a boytoy, typically, 20 to 30 thousand should be enough. Could it be that this excessively beautiful woman was even wealthier than her?
Actually, her intent to keep Liu Wentian stemmed partly from indeed finding him very appealing and partly from jealousy towards Sheng Qianmei's beauty. She couldn't resist the idea of snatching him away—a prospect that would provide her great satisfaction.
She hadn't anticipated this situation turning her own ploy awkward.
"Hmph! 100,000—this should settle it, right?" The middle-aged woman said, although slightly pained by the expenditure, it was worth it to regain her morale.
But Sheng Qianmei shook her head and said, "Can't be bothered to talk to you."
Then, she pointed at several sets of clothes and turned to the saleswoman, saying indifferently, "Use the measurements from that earlier set; I want one of each of these outfits."
"Okay! Okay! I'll wrap them up for you immediately!"
The saleswoman's face showed astonishment, then she turned red with excitement, hurrying away.
Shh!!
At this moment, those who were watching the scene couldn't help but gasp in shock.
It's important to understand that customers who shopped at this store were somewhat affluent. A few tens of thousands or even 100,000 hadn't shocked them, but now, Sheng Qianmei's spending was actually frightening them.
The clothes here, even the cheaper outfits cost tens of thousands, and they would select their purchases carefully—each garment lasting a long time.
But now, Sheng Qianmei had casually pointed out over a dozen sets, and they were all the top-grade variety. These dozen outfits would cost at least 2 million! No doubt about it!
Based on their conversation, the man was just a boytoy, and now, this beautiful woman was buying him clothes worth 2 million. Damn, just how precious was this boytoy!!
At this moment, the middle-aged woman's face had already turned the color of a pig's liver. She initially planned to use money to slap others in the face and gain face, but alas, her face was slapped loudly by others. She only felt that the gaze of the crowd was like they were watching a clown.
She picked up her phone, thinking of calling someone to help her retrieve her dignity, but after thinking it over, she decided against it. After all, she wasn't foolish. A woman who could casually whip out over two hundred thousand to buy clothes for a pretty boy wasn't someone to be trifled with.
In the end, she could only leave hastily with her tail between her legs, not daring to look at Sheng Qianmei again.
Watching the middle-aged woman leave, Liu Wentian rolled his eyes at Sheng Qianmei and said with a wry smile, "What kind of wicked taste is this? You really took me for a pretty boy, huh?"
Sheng Qianmei stuck out her tongue and pouted, "It was just for fun. She thought she could keep you? She really overestimated herself."
Seeing Sheng Qianmei's rare girlish side, Liu Wentian couldn't help but stare a little blankly, his heart beating a few notches faster.
The saleswoman finished packaging the clothes, and after Sheng Qianmei paid, she wrote down the address of the hotel and asked her to deliver them there. At that time, Liu Wentian was still wearing the casual suit he had on before and hadn't taken it off.
"Liu Wentian, there's a Traditional Chinese Medicine exchange convention. Do you want to go check it out? If not, how about we go watch a movie? Or visit the amusement park?"
Upon leaving the store, Sheng Qianmei naturally held Liu Wentian's hand, her smile as sweet as a girl in first love. The two looked like a perfect golden boy and Jade girl, envied by others.
"Traditional Medicine exchange convention, you're attending that too?" Liu Wentian asked in surprise.
Sheng Qianmei smiled and said, "You know, ever since I saw your medical skills, I've been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and have gotten to know a few people in the Traditional Medicine field. Just a couple of days ago, a senior in the field mentioned that there's a provincial Traditional Medicine exchange today and asked if I was interested. If you're interested, we can go check it out."

Liu Wentian thought for a while and said, "Alright, then let's go check it out."
Both Ancient Martial Arts and medical skills were of great interest to him. Hearing that it was a province-wide Traditional Medicine exchange, he couldn't help but want to go see the current level of the Traditional Medicine field.
Upon hearing what Liu Wentian said, Sheng Qianmei made a phone call to the senior she mentioned. After hanging up, they calculated the time and distance to the venue. Riding a bicycle would take just about the right amount of time, so Liu Wentian once again rode his bicycle with Sheng Qianmei on it.
Along the way, they drew quite a few curious looks. After all, a bicycle worth perhaps only two hundred yuan carrying a top-grade beauty was more eye-catching than a sports car.
Many people even looked around for cameras, thinking that this must be a movie shoot.
When they arrived at the building where the Traditional Medicine exchange was to take place, Sheng Qianmei made a phone call to the senior, and then they waited at the entrance for her.
Soon, a woman in her forties approached.
She looked pretty decent, albeit a bit plump in middle age.
Upon seeing the person, Sheng Qianmei said with a smile, "Aunt Xu, thank you for inviting me. I appreciate you getting us in."
Aunt Xu chuckled and said, "Qianmei, what are you talking about? There's no trouble at all! You're an elite in Western medicine, and since you're also interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine, of course, I had to invite you to this exchange. Your combined expertise in both Western and Traditional Medicine will surely enhance your skills. Hehe."
After speaking, she saw a man next to Sheng Qianmei and her brow furrowed slightly in confusion as she asked, "Qianmei, who is this?"
Sheng Qianmei's face turned slightly red as she said, "Sister Hong, he... he is Liu Wentian."
She wanted to simply say he was her boyfriend, but considering it might make Liu Wentian dislike it since he had turned her down before, she didn't want to push Liu Wentian too hard.
Aunt Xu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then seeing the bicycle beside Liu Wentian, she said with a touch of amusement, "You didn't ride the bicycle here, did you?"
"Hello Aunt Xu, it wasn't too far, so we just rode the bicycle over," Liu Wentian said with a smile.
"Hehe, hello. Riding a bicycle is quite good; it's great for exercising."
Aunt Xu responded with a smile, but inwardly she was somewhat disdainful. These days, anyone with money would drive their own car; it wasn't really a matter of distance.
At the same time, any animosity she had towards Liu Wentian dissipated. She planned to introduce Sheng Qianmei to her son, and given that the young man in front of her didn't even have a car, how could he possibly compete with her son!
As for her son, she was quite confident!
