Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 249: Chapter 228: You Still Dare to Be Defiant, Huh?

Liu Kexin was extremely curious.

She desperately wanted to know her boyfriend Lu Li’s ”true identity”.

Having such curiosity was only human nature.

If someone is genuinely in love, which woman wouldn’t want to know everything about her boyfriend?

Besides, Lu Li was beyond comprehension.

Liu Kexin had only known him for just over two months.

She watched him go from having almost nothing.

To now splurging to buy a luxury house worth nearly three hundred million.

It’s hard not to be curious.

Liu Kexin wanted to ask him several times about what was going on, but she never knew how to ask.

After a dinner passed.

They came to the International Financial Center.

Liu Kexin still didn’t manage to ask.

On the first floor of IFC Building D, at the Vacheron Constantin boutique.

Lu Li and Liu Kexin each holding a pile of luxury shopping bags walked in.

He had no idea that Liu Kexin beside him was curious about his true identity, and was still thinking about the shopping spree tonight.

They had visited many luxury stores tonight.

Hermes, Louis Vuitton, almost all swept through.

Lu Li not only bought himself some clothes, pants, shoes, and bags but also bought some for his parents and Liu Kexin.

A lot of the purchases had already been placed back in the car.

Currently, they each held seven or eight shopping bags, which were the last batch they picked up.

Up to now, Lu Li had spent two hundred forty to fifty thousand.

He planned to buy the watch and then leave.

Because it was getting late, and they would have to drive back to Su City later.

The Vacheron Constantin boutique was very luxuriously decorated, yet it didn’t give off a ”nouveau riche” feeling.

On the contrary, it appeared elegantly simple.

As soon as they walked in, a 24 or 25-year-old female sales assistant approached.

With a natural smile, the sales assistant said, ”Sir, Madam, would you like me to show you to the displayed watches?”

Liu Kexin naturally waved her hand, ”No need, we’ll look by ourselves.”

Lu Li originally wanted the sales assistant to show him around, but since Liu Kexin said so, there had to be a reason, and he didn’t say anything more.

”Alright, if there’s anything you need, just call for me.” The sales assistant stepped aside.

Lu Li didn’t say a word, followed behind Liu Kexin browsing in front of the counter, looking at the watches of this top brand, Vacheron Constantin.

And indeed, all the watch styles here were extremely beautiful.

Lu Li quite liked what he saw.

Liu Kexin suddenly asked, ”About how expensive are you thinking of buying a watch?”

Lu Li had never been into such a high-end watch store before, and for a moment truly hadn’t thought about it.

He had heard before that Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe, the two top watch brands, could easily cost millions or tens of millions.

After thinking conservatively, he said, ”Forget the really expensive ones, let’s buy one for two or three million.”

Liu Kexin said, ”Then we don’t need to look, let’s just find the sales assistant.”

Lu Li was puzzled, ”Why?”

Liu Kexin pointed to the displayed watches and said, ”The price range of the watches displayed in this store is between one hundred thousand and one point five million, there are no watches over one point five million, and some especially expensive watches are not available in-store unless they are custom-made or auctioned.”

Oh, so Vacheron Constantin also has affordable ones?

Only now did Lu Li realize Vacheron Constantin isn’t exclusively ultra-high-end watches.

Originally he liked to buy available stocks, but considering he had just received ten billion, he surely couldn’t choose ones with low grades.

Lu Li agreed, ”Alright.”

They approached the counter together.

Two female sales assistants immediately smiled, ”Sir, Madam, is there anything we can help you with?”

Lu Li proactively said, ”I’d like to buy a watch in the two to three million price range, any recommendations?”

The slightly older sales assistant immediately said, ”Yes, just a moment.”

Saying this, she took out a catalog and opened it.

Lu Li had sharp eyes and immediately pointed at one, ”How much is this one?”

”This Tradition series is priced at six million eight hundred fifteen thousand,” the sales assistant said with a smile.

Lu Li wasn’t short of that six hundred eighty-one thousand five hundred.

It was just that this watch didn’t captivate him enough to make him want to spend so much.

He thought for a bit, ”Let’s look at other models.”

The sales assistant introduced them to Lu Li one by one.

Only then did Lu Li realize there were many Vacheron Constantin series.

Including the Tradition series, Malta series, Master Artisan series, and so on.

After looking around for a while, Lu Li still hadn’t decided which watch to buy.

The sales assistant proactively recommended, ”Our Vacheron Constantin Master Artisan series 33222/000R-9506 automatic men’s watch, what do you think?”

Lu Li stared at it in the catalog, asking, ”Kexin, what do you think of this watch?”

”The Master Artisan series has always been pretty good. It’s said that when Vacheron Constantin designs this series, it draws inspiration from art, history, and culture, showing the integration of decorative skills in watches and jewelry to the fullest.” Liu Kexin praised, ”Like this watch case, it’s usually made of 18K and rose gold, with a crystal sapphire surface, should suit you well.”

The sales assistant exclaimed, ”You know a lot, Madam.”

Liu Kexin replied unemotionally, ”Not bad.”

When Lu Li heard that this watch was indeed quite high-end, and he liked it very much.

He didn’t bother to look at others and said, ”This one.”

The sales assistant’s face blossomed into a smile upon hearing Lu Li confirm the purchase.

She quickly said, ”Alright, this watch is priced at two million seven hundred ninety-three thousand domestically. Please leave your address and contact information, and it will be delivered to you in about half a month to three months.”

A single watch costs nearly 2.8 million!

In the past, even if he had made tens of millions before, Lu Li wouldn’t have dared to buy it.

After all, it’s not as practical as luxury cars or mansions.

A two-million-dollar car he could buy without batting an eye, but a watch would definitely require more thought.

That was the past.

Lu Li just earned a billion now.

He has so much money with nowhere to spend it.

Of course, he has to pursue higher-level spiritual enjoyment.

He pulled out his bank card and said, ”Swipe the card.”

The saleswoman took his card with both hands and respectfully said, ”Please hold on for a moment.”

Another female staff member brought them tea, with an attitude that couldn’t be better.

Lu Li suddenly looked to the side, ”Kexin, which one do you like? I’ll get you one too.”

”Wow.”

”This gentleman is so handsome.”

”Buying a two or three million yuan watch without blinking is one thing, but buying one for his girlfriend too?”

A few female staff not far away had stars in their eyes.

Although they worked in a high-end luxury store and had seen many wealthy men spending lavishly.

But they really hadn’t seen many like Lu Li, who not only bought for himself but also spent millions on his girlfriend.

Not that there aren’t any, just fewer encounters.

Another more important reason.

Usually, the ones who do this are older middle-aged or elderly wealthy men.

How many like Lu Li, who are young, handsome, rich, and willing to spend on women?

However, what left these female staff speechless was Liu Kexin saying, ”I don’t want one, already have a few at home.”

Lu Li: ”...”

Female staff: ”...”

Everyone didn’t know what to say.

Fine.

Your family is rich, you’re impressive.

Since Liu Kexin didn’t want one, Lu Li didn’t say much.

Waited quietly for a while.

After the card was swiped, Lu Li left behind an address and contact information, got a special membership, and left under the admiring gazes of the female staff.

Just by shopping at a mall, Lu Li spent over five million.

Have to say, spending money is really satisfying.

...

Back in the car.

Understanding that Lu Li had been driving all day, Liu Kexin offered to drive.

Lu Li was not tired, but seeing his girlfriend so caring, he felt warm inside and didn’t refuse.

He sat in the passenger seat, chatting with Liu Kexin while casually browsing TikTok on his phone.

The car slowly entered the main road.

Liu Kexin couldn’t suppress her long-standing curiosity any longer.

She tentatively asked, ”Lu Li, can I ask you a question?”

Lu Li, aimlessly scrolling through TikTok, said, ”Go ahead.”

Liu Kexin blinked and asked, ”Besides being a martial arts expert, do you have any other identities?”

Lu Li turned his head to look at her and cheerfully said, ”Yes.”

Liu Kexin quickly asked, ”What?”

Lu Li boasted, ”The world’s most handsome ancestor, a great physicist who discovered particles that could change human civilization, and the man you love most.”

Liu Kexin thought he was joking and scoffed, ”Who loves you the most? Hmph, you’re such a narcissist.”

She figured out that Lu Li was not planning to tell the truth at all.

This left Liu Kexin a bit troubled, not knowing how to understand her boyfriend.

She didn’t realize that everything Lu Li just said was true.

Seeing the disbelief, Lu Li didn’t explain further.

Earlier he used a half-joking tone on purpose, just to see if Liu Kexin would believe him.

If she really believed, then other things could be slowly and appropriately revealed.

After all, there are many more days of getting along with each other in the future.

Some unusual things will be noticed by the other sooner or later.

Rather than that, it’s better to reveal it himself.

Of course, not everything will be revealed.

There are things he wouldn’t even tell his parents, let alone others.

Seeing Liu Kexin didn’t believe him, Lu Li continued to scroll through TikTok, wanting to see if there were any news that could give him some inspiration.

Suddenly!

He came across a short video.

At that moment, Lu Li was about to scroll past due to his distraction.

But with his extremely strong photographic memory, he remembered the news content written on the video at a glance and quickly scrolled back.

”Recently, the FZ Organization’s Jalisco Group in Mexico’s Tijuana Branch was uprooted, driving the organization crazy, searching everywhere for the murderers of their members. The organization’s big boss Oseguera even publicly declared that he would stop at nothing to find the killer and, if found, hang this person on the cypress tree outside the destroyed Tijuana Branch to deter anyone else with ill intentions towards the Jalisco Group...”

Hey!

Do you still dare to be defiant, huh?

Lu Li was amused by this news, thinking that this guy named Oseguera better not let him catch him, otherwise he would definitely fulfill his promise and hang him on that cypress tree outside the Tijuana Branch!
