"Oh my, Lin Xiaotian, what a lousy place this is, you actually had the gall to bring me here for dinner?"

"I've been saying that I want to check-in at the newly opened Michelin five-star restaurant. How else am I going to post on my social circle?"

Inside a very classy Chinese restaurant, Ali pouted unhappily, looking displeased at her boyfriend.

Today she had boasted in front of several friends that her boyfriend was going to treat her to a big meal at a five-star Michelin restaurant.

Now, wouldn't this place make her lose face when she returns?

Lin Xiaotian apologetically said, "Lili, I couldn't manage a table reservation at the Michelin restaurant, but the cuisine at this Chinese restaurant is quite good. Maybe we could make do with this..."

With that, he handed over the menu.

"Whack!"

Ali, lacking patience, smacked the menu out of his hand.

"I don't care, you promised me and now you didn't fulfill it, so you tell me what we're going to do about this?"

Lin Xiaotian felt a little helpless.

Indeed, he had promised her a big meal, but he didn't specify where they were going to eat. The Michelin was suggested by Ali herself, and now, all the blame seems to fall on him.

"So, what do you suggest we do?"

Lin Xiaotian frowned, if his guess was right, his girlfriend must be about to ask for money.

That's because, every time she threw a fit, it's always for the money.

"Today marks our 413th day anniversary, and you bring me to this rundown place. What would my sisters think of me?"

With a roll of her eyes, Avery thought up an excuse.

"When I go back, they'll definitely question me. Being questioned means I'll be embarrassed, and being embarrassed means I'm unhappy. When I'm unhappy, I seeks comfort..."

"So, you ought to send a red envelope as a compensation... No, to comfort me!"

Hearing this, deep down, Lin Xiao Tian chuckled sarcastically.

A 413th-day-anniversary? What kind of farcical excuse is this?

If today is the 413th day, are we marking the 414th day anniversary tomorrow?

In the past, Avery would always demand red envelopes from him whenever she was unhappy.

From the first ever 5.2, to 52, then to 520, and finally to 1314...

He has given out countless red envelopes, but probably only received a handful in return.

One by one, every holiday has become an excuse for Avery to demand red envelopes.

Now, an ingenious new type has been added to her repertoire, the incessant 'anniversaries'. How is one supposed to live with this?

"I... didn't I accompany you to the mall today, buying bags, clothes, and shoes?"

Trepidatiously, Lin Xiao Tian pulled out his phone and checked his expenditure records for the day, his eyes twitching uncontrollably.

At this moment, Avery was holding her phone, scrolling through an app, a video on how boyfriends should treat their girlfriends playing conveniently.

"Whether a man loves you or not, depends on whether he is willing to pay for you..."

"A one who is willing to spend ten dollars for you, is a friend!"

"One who is willing to spend a hundred dollars for you, is family!"

"One who is willing to spend a thousand dollars for you, is your parents!"

"The one who is willing to spend ten thousand dollars for you, is your husband!"

"The more a man loves you, the more he will spend on you!"

The voice from the phone made Ai Li's eyes sparkle with anticipation.

She looked up at Lin Xiao Tian and held up her phone in front of him, questioning him critically: "Have you heard what it says here? When you accompanied me to buy bags, clothing, and shoes, how much did you spend?"

At this point, Lin Xiao Tian wished he could rip the mouth off of the person who made this video, as it is such negative advice and terribly misleading.

"Li Li, this bag costs more than five thousand, and the clothes and shoes together are two thousand two hundred, plus..."

Seeing that Lin Xiao Tian was going over the bills, Ai Li immediately interrupted him, "Stop, stop, stop. Are you accounting to me? Lin Xiao Tian, what do you mean? Are you begrudging the money I've spent?"

"Fine, I don't need your stuff. I'll give them back!"

With that, Ai Li haphazardly threw all the clothing bags to one side, showing a completely furious and frustrated demeanor.

Lin Xiao Tian pursed his lips and after several seconds of silence, sighed: "Li Li, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean it that way, let me send you a red envelope as an apology, alright?"

Looking at the balance in the phone, Lin Xiao Tian sent a red envelope of "520", symbolizing "I love you".

"Ding!"

The incoming payment sound rang almost simultaneously with the issuance of the red packet.

"Only five hundred and twenty? That's not good enough for Elly."

Lin Xiaotian's countenance turned frosty. "Elly, I don't have much money left in my phone..."

He was not a second-generation rich kid, just a man who had saved a reasonable amount from a promising job after graduation.

However, ever since he had met Elly, he could not possibly earn as fast as he was spending. Consequently, his savings were dwindling alarmingly.

At this rate, he was unsure whether the remaining balance in his phone could even cover this meal!

"No money?"

Elly obviously didn't believe him. Since they started dating, Lin Xiaotian's generosity had conditioned her to think in a certain way.

"No money and still dating?"

"Send me thirteen thousand, one hundred and forty to console my upset heart!"

Thirteen thousand, one hundred and forty?

That's nearly half of Lin Xiaotian's monthly salary!

Biting back his rage, Lin Xiaotian shook his head and resisted, "Elly, I truly don't have that much money left. If you don't believe me, look for yourself!"

He was afraid that Ali wouldn't believe him, so he displayed the remaining balance on his phone, only a few hundred yuan left.

Immediately, Ali's face darkened, "Lin Xiaotian, where is your money? Have you any shame to take me out for a meal with such a tiny sum?"

In response to her interrogation, Lin Xiaotian felt a rising frustration.

When setting out, he had nearly ten thousand yuan balance on his phone. Now, he was left with just a few hundred, so, what she meant by such a tiny sum?

"Right now, immediately transfer money from your bank card and then send me a red envelope..."

Ali didn't notice the seriousness of the matter. She continued to mutter greedily,"I know there's more money in the card on which you receive your wage. What's the use of having just 520 yuan? It's not even enough to buy a single lipstick!"

Lin Xiaotian really wanted to slap her. All of Ali's cosmetic spending fell on him.

"When I say I'm broke, I mean it!"

If a mosquito drinking blood knows when to fly away after being satiated, then Ali was like an insatiable beast.

He could bear with spending money on dating, but this never-ending "extortion," he needed to learn to say no, especially now.

Especially when Ali acted like she had every right to his money, it made him even more nauseous.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host has received the Infinite Superrich System, System binding in progress…"

Suddenly, a prompt tone rang near Lin Xiaotian's ear, startling him.

"Congratulations, Host. The Infinite Superrich System has been successfully bound, and you've won a multi-million cash reward!"

Soon, a panel like a computer interface appeared in front of Lin Xiaotian's eyes, displaying all his information.

【Host: Lin Xiaotian】

Lin Xiaotian was stunned for a moment; however, he quickly realised, he had been bound to a system that only appeared in novels.

"The system has detected that the host has rejected a green tea b*tch’s request, and awarded a system prize--- top-quality female secretary!"
