Seeing his wife glare, Charles Yin immediately sided with her without hesitation: "Right, right, right, it's all that kid Shane Shang's fault for being so clueless. What has he been doing all these years? If my wife had been by my side for ten years, I'd have a whole football team of kids by now! Let him drag his feet—serves him right!"
Cecilia Gu lightly patted Charles Yin and cut to the chase: "So, how do you plan to match Julian King and Sophie up? Just shopping together isn't going to cut it, right? We need to get to the root of their problem."
Charles Yin hugged Cecilia Gu, rubbing his chin against her hair, unable to stop. "Mmm, my wife's hair smells amazing and feels so soft!"
No one in the world has hair as gorgeous as my wife's!
"So how do you plan to get to the root of it?" Charles Yin asked, half-joking, half-curious.
"First, we need to change Julian King's whole look!" Cecilia teased. "He's always so flashy—no wonder Sophie doesn't like him! She says Julian has more clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, and perfume than she does! What grown man collects so much stuff? So—"
Cecilia Gu spun around and declared to Charles Yin with mock seriousness, "Let's go raid Julian King's place! If we see something we like, we take it all! If he dares complain, we just won't help him!"
Charles Yin's eyes lit up and he grinned, "Perfect plan! I heard he even collects classic Rolex watches. I used to have one, but lost it ages ago—now's my chance to snatch his!"
Cecilia Gu nodded, grinning, "Alright, let's go rob him right now!"
Julian King, of course, had his own place in K City.
Because Julian King was so extra, he bought a five-story apartment, knocked out all the floors, and made it his home.
Of course, he only lived on one floor—the other four were packed with his treasures.
That's right, he had homes like this all over the world, just to store his collections!
After calling Julian King, Charles Yin took Cecilia Gu straight to his place.
When Cecilia Gu stood at Julian King's front door, she was totally gobsmacked. Wait a sec!
Cecilia Gu felt like she wasn't visiting someone's home, but browsing a warehouse for treasures.
Before, she'd only heard Sophie Mo's descriptions—Cecilia could only imagine.
But when she actually stood in front of all those collectibles, Cecilia realized her imagination was seriously lacking!
Seriously! This was beyond anything she could've pictured!
Every floor was over three hundred square meters, and every inch was filled with his treasures.
And every single item was worth a fortune.
Cecilia Gu couldn’t help but ask, "Julian King, don’t tell me you spend all your yearly earnings on these collections?"
Julian King was still dressed in his usual flamboyant shirt today. When he heard Cecilia’s question, he answered with a dramatic flourish, "How could I? This is just pocket change!"
Alright, gotta admit—these rich people are just on another level!
Cecilia Gu planted herself in the perfume display area, not even bothering to check the labels. She just pointed at whatever caught her eye: "That one, that one, and that one, that one too, and all those colors—I'll take them all!"
Julian King's face went pale. "Are you really here to rob me?"
Charles Yin raised an eyebrow, "Did you think we were joking? My wife likes them, so hand them over! If you don't, don't blame me for minding my own business from now on!"
With that, Charles Yin pretended to drag Cecilia Gu away.
Julian King panicked and grabbed them both, pleading, "Fine, fine, you can have them! Just leave me something, okay?"
A lot of those perfume formulas had already disappeared from the market—they were truly one-of-a-kind.
These pieces weren’t just luxury collectibles anymore—their value had gone way beyond what any market could measure.
Cecilia Gu gave Julian King a critical once-over, then turned to Charles Yin. "We’re not just raiding his luxury stash—his whole image needs a total overhaul!"
Before Charles Yin could answer, Julian King let out a dramatic yelp, clutching his chest and staring at Cecilia Gu like she’d just threatened his life.
Whoa, hold up!
No way, absolutely not!
Cecilia Gu shot Julian King a look of utter disappointment. "If you’re really giving up on Sophie Mo, then just forget I said anything!"
Julian King immediately went silent, slowly lowering his arms and bowing his head so no one could see his face.
Charles Yin just stood there, silent and unmoving.
Cecilia Gu thought Julian King was turning her down and was just about to persuade him, when suddenly, she sensed his entire aura shift in an instant!
