Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: The First Time Receiving a Gift of Four Hundred

“How could I accept that?” Lin Teng and Su Yi gave off different vibes. Although Su Yi was also very approachable and gentle, she always seemed to have a hint of condescension, which made her manner and language somewhat stiff.

Lin Teng appeared more natural; the gentle look in his eyes and eyebrows made it seem as though he wasn’t one of Capital City’s current hotshots, but just an ordinary boyfriend or little uncle.

During her last encounter with Lin Teng, Rong Yan had already noticed that beneath his robust and mature exterior lay an easygoing personality. Now, that impression deepened even further. Others were easygoing, and she wasn’t one to be overly fastidious. She gradually relaxed and said with a smile, “Those little massage devices are particularly cheap online, just one hundred and eighty yuan each. They’re not expensive. Even if I bought you ten or eight of them, it wouldn’t cost much. The main thing is that I have bought one for Mrs. Lin before and I’m familiar with which brand is good to use, so it’s quite convenient to buy.”

Lin Teng laughed heartily, “So what you’re saying is, the neck pillow you bought for me is also one hundred and eighty yuan?”

Rong Yan relaxed even more, blinked slyly, and said, “Surely it’s not that cheap~”

“The one I bought for General Lin is the best version of that neck pillow, with ion thermal steam technology and high-tech nanomaterials. It did end up being quite expensive.”

Lin Teng became intrigued by her description and fixated his gaze on her with piercing eyes, “Oh, how expensive is quite expensive?”

He was genuinely curious about how expensive this girl considered expensive to be.

Rong Yan held up four fingers right in front of him, with an expression that seemed to challenge him to guess.

Lin Teng’s eyes narrowed, “Four thousand?”

In all his years, he had never received a gift worth less than six figures. Of course, he wouldn’t necessarily accept gifts from everyone, but those who dared to give had never given anything below six figures.

Four thousand was certainly a novel figure.

Rong Yan shook her head, “No, that’s not it.”

“Isn’t it?” Lin Teng raised an eyebrow, his mature face showing a look of surprise, and he revised his guess, “Forty thousand?”

The girl had said that the neck pillow she gave him had both ion technology and high-tech nanomaterials, which made four thousand seem a little too low.

Rong Yan shook her head again, her eyes bright with amusement, and waved her fingers once more, this time dropping the pretense of making him guess, “Four hundred!”

“…”

Lin Teng was momentarily stunned, showing an expression of bewilderment.

Rong Yan smiled wryly, withdrawing her hand, “The ion thermal steam technology is actually just powered heating, and as for the nanomaterials, I did check–they’re real. But since the neck pillow is so small, even using high-tech materials doesn’t really cost much, the key is, I had bought a set for Mrs. Lin before, and had a discount coupon for their store, so with the discount, it came to exactly 400 yuan.”

Lin Teng looked at her, uncertain whether to laugh or get angry. He pretended to be stern, “You gave me a 400 yuan gift as a meeting present, aren’t you afraid I’ll be displeased?”

“Not afraid. If I gave a gift worth 4 million, I might be afraid you’d be displeased, but for a 400 yuan gift, I think someone as magnanimous and generous as you wouldn’t mind.”

Rong Yan was quite composed–mainly because she could tell Lin Teng wasn’t really angry. Having been accustomed to interacting with Li Shengxiao and those in his circle, she knew what it looked like when someone from that circle got angry. If Lin Teng, holding a high position, were truly angry, she might find it difficult to breathe just sitting here.

Lin Teng felt slightly choked by her words; though his eyes were still glaring, they lacked intimidation and instead showed more mirth, “You really know how to flatter someone. After you’ve said all that, if I were to get angry, wouldn’t I appear to be narrow-minded and lacking in generosity?”
