Manipulative Harem God

304 Big sister knees turned soft! (1)

*Gasp!*

"??"

There, emerging like a vision, was Xiong Mei, draped in a resplendent sky-blue gown adorned with delicate blue jewels. The gown flowed elegantly, and the light embroidery added a touch of ethereal charm to her presence.

Zhou Jiajia's face twitched, her expression a canvas of conflicting emotions. "That is the most expensive dress here," she whispered, her eyes revealing a mixture of astonishment and complexity.

Intrigued, Zhang Wei sought clarification. "How expensive is it?"

Zhou Jiajia proceeded to unravel the mystique surrounding the gown, detailing its exorbitant price of nearly 5 million HLD. Even for someone accustomed to luxury, the dress carried a weight that gave her pause. She had contemplated acquiring it for her own show in the capital, unaware that fate had different plans for the coveted ensemble.

However, a sigh of relief escaped her lips. "That won't get bought; she must be trying it only." The tension in her voice eased, assuming that Xiong Mei's intent was merely to indulge in the extravagant gown, sparing it from the clutches of an unintended purchaser.

Zhang Wei nodded, "That might be the case normally, but I think you are wrong." He brushed off any mention of shows or performances, maintaining his disinterest in the realm of celebrity.

Zhou Jiajia turned to him, her lips parted as she was about to speak. Suddenly, she seized the opportunity to teach him a lesson. "Wanna bet?"

Zhang Wei glanced at her suspiciously, "What type of bet?"

Zhou Jiajia proposed her terms confidently, "I bet she won't buy it! If I'm right, you have to forget about your money and promise never to share or use my number again."

Zhang Wei, intrigued, asked, "What if she does buy it?"

Emma and Anna stood closely to Xiong Mei, holding other dresses for her as she inspected the current gown, casting occasional glances around for Zhang Wei.

Zhou Jiajia confidently declared, "I would pay you 5 million plus cover the cost of shopping!"

Zhang Wei shook his head, his gaze fixed on Zhou Jiajia. "Do you even have the money?"

"..."

A sinking feeling settled in Zhou Jiajia's stomach as she realized her lack of access to her cards at that moment.

Zhang Wei, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, proposed a solution, "There are other ways to pay." His words hung in the air, making Zhou Jiajia shiver involuntarily. Stepping back, she hastily clarified, "I am not using my body to bet!"

Zhang Wei maintained his amiable smile. "I have an alternative." The mysterious allure in his eyes hinted at a proposition that left Zhou Jiajia intrigued yet slightly apprehensive.

Zhou Jiajia narrowed her eyes, curiosity piqued by Zhang Wei's suggested alternative. Leaning in, he whispered the proposition into her ear. Her ears flushed in response, and she shot him a speechless glance. "No," she replied, rejecting the unorthodox bet.

Zhang Wei teased, "Are you afraid of losing?"

For a moment, Zhou Jiajia was tongue-tied. "I..." she faltered.

Zhang Wei pressed, "You wanna bet or not? Do you want to go back on your words?"

Bitterness etched across Zhou Jiajia's face as her eyes reflected a complex mix of emotions. Glancing toward Xiong Mei, who had reverted to her original outfit after inspecting the dress, Zhou Jiajia's eyes lit up.

Observing a hint of reluctance in Xiong Mei's expression, she seized the opportunity.

"Let's bet!" Zhou Jiajia declared with newfound determination.

"Alright," Zhang Wei nodded, suppressing a subtle laugh.

In a corner of the store, Xiong Mei delicately handed the exquisite dress over to Emma, her eyes aglow with admiration. "It looks beautiful..."

Emma, the store attendant, took pride in explaining, "This is our store's masterpiece, personally designed by..."

Xiong Mei, though attentive, gently interrupted, "You can pack the others, but this one is too expensive for me to purchase," she declared with a hint of reluctance.

Emma, slightly surprised, inquired, "Are you sure?"

Reluctance flickered in Xiong Mei's eyes, but she nodded resolutely, "Yes."

Understanding Xiong Mei's decision, Emma accepted the elegant dress, realizing it was more of an exquisite experience for the customer than a potential sale.

With the remaining dress in hand, Emma signaled to Anna, and together they prepared to proceed to the billing counter, leaving the prized gown for another day.

Anna sneaked up behind Xiong Mei, her voice dripping with whispered suggestions. "Why don't you ask Boss about it first?" she proposed.

Xiong Mei hesitated, her expression giving away her conflicted feelings.

A slight pout formed on her lips as the realization hit her - if she came across as too demanding, she risked becoming a leech, killing her own host.

There had to be a limit to how much she could take!

After all, Xiong Mei's purpose here was to make his dick hard, not his life.

But all the determination she mustered up crumbled into nothingness once she locked eyes with him.

His intense glare bore into her, making her senses tingle.

!!

He leaned casually against the opposite wall, the air around him crackling with unspoken power.

In that instant, the unspoken communication between them crackled, and Xiong Mei understood exactly what her owner was conveying.

Either she bought the dress herself, or he would personally make his presence known - and that wouldn't bode well for her.

Reluctantly, she reached out and accepted the dress from Emma's hands. With a sense of resignation, she placed it carefully in the bag, uttering the words she knew she had to say. "I am buying it."

"Huh?"

Anna and Emma turned to Xiong Mei with surprise.

Emma's face blossomed into a wide smile as she quickly calculated her commission from this single sale. "I-I will calculate the bill!" she exclaimed, eager to finalize the transaction.

The sudden decision created a ripple of astonishment in the area. Envious eyes now focused on Emma and Xiong Mei as they became the center of attention.

Despite the ongoing commotion, someone was notably unhappy. "H-How is that possible?" Zhou Jiajia spoke, holding her face in shock.

Zhang Wei, who had been quietly observing from a distance, couldn't help but chuckle at the unfolding drama. His gaze fixed on Zhou Jiajia. "Looks like you lost the bet," he remarked, a smirk playing on his lips.

Zhou Jiajia's face flushed with embarrassment and frustration. "I can't believe she actually bought it," she muttered under her breath.

Xiong Mei, oblivious to the bet and the ensuing drama, continued to interact with Emma and Anna as they prepared the bill. Emma, trying to maintain her professional demeanor, calculated the total cost with an excited gleam in her eyes.

Zhang Wei, standing beside Zhou Jiajia, couldn't resist teasing her further. "Well, it seems luck is on my side today. Now, are you ready to pay the price?"

Zhou Jiajia glared at him, "What price!? The bet between us is cancelled! I would pay you in money." She instantly took out her phone, intending to call her assistant and update them on the situation.

The absurdity of the bet had made her uneasy, and the thought of fulfilling it sent a blush creeping up her neck.

Zhang Wei chuckled, grabbing her hand to halt the call. "You can do this later. Fulfill your bet first."

Zhou Jiajia, caught off guard by Zhang Wei's sudden move, tried to free her hand from his grasp. "Let go of me! What are you doing?" she protested, feeling a mix of irritation and confusion.

Zhang Wei continued to hold her hand firmly, a sharp glint in his eyes. "You agreed to the bet. Let's not back out now. Don't worry; it won't be anything too outrageous."

Zhou Jiajia's face turned even redder, and she shot him a disapproving look. "This isn't fair!"

Zhang Wei leaned in, whispering, "Life isn't always fair, Little Jia."

!!

"Wh—"

Before Zhou Jiajia could voice further resistance, Zhang Wei swiftly covered her mouth with his hand and guided her to the nearest trial room, skillfully shutting the door behind them.

"Hm? Where did he disappear to?" Xiong Mei turned around, scanning the surroundings for Zhang Wei and the mysterious girl, now conspicuously absent.

Emma suggested, "Would you like to check the presents as well?"

Xiong Mei nodded, methodically examining each gift. As she separated the unnecessary items, Emma wore a constant smile, realizing that today's business deal had proven to be more lucrative than she initially anticipated.

While they were engrossed in their tasks, only Anna knew the peculiar occurrence involving Zhang Wei and Zhou Jiajia.

She observed every detail, contemplating, 'Did I just witness some illicit act?' The questionable way Zhang Wei led Zhou Jiajia into the trial room left Anna feeling both intrigued and slightly uneasy, questioning the audacity of such actions in broad daylight.

As the trial room door closed behind them, the dim light inside flickered before settling into a soft glow. Zhang Wei removed his hand from Zhou Jiajia's mouth, leaving her momentarily flustered and irritated.

"What are you d—" she began to protest, but before she could finish, Zhang Wei placed a finger on her lips, shushing her.
