One set of clothes costed ten thousand dollars, it was way too steep! Although the white sports clothing looked nice, but was it not just a piece of clothing?”
Vincent frowned slightly, “It’s not expensive!”
“Let’s buy outside! It’s cheaper outside!” Leila replied quietly.
Vincent looked at Leila’s face weirdly and a strange expression flashed through his eyes. After a moment, he took the clothes in her hand and told the sales girl, “Miss, give me ten sets of this model!”
“Mr White!” Leila gasped, why was he getting more egged-on the more she spoke?
“If you still think it’s expensive then I’ll have twenty sets!” He stared at her shocked face and there was an unnamed feeling inside him. He already understood that she was shocked by the price, but how could his woman dress up so shabbily?
…
Once Leila heard that the more she spoke the more it was impossible, she could only pipe down. But once she thought about the ten sets, she was again shocked into cold sweat, “Mr White, we’re just going camping, it would be tiring bringing all these things. We’ll just buy, just buy a set!”
“Miss, ten sets of couple’s clothing, one set of each colour and design and no repeated ones, alright? Ten sets then!” His words came out strong as he re-emphasized, looking mightier than ever.
His words stunned the sales girl and she was extremely envious of Leila. She could not help but tell Leila, “Miss, your boyfriend is just caring for you. So don’t reject him anymore, this is in his good intentions!”
Vincent pursed his lips and did not say a word, he turned to not look at Leila.
Leila was being silly and her face was filled with struggle. She frowned as she mumbled quietly, “But I can’t wear ten sets either, if I’d known I wouldn’t have said so…”
The more she said the more he bought…
She was frustrated and was silently worried about his money. He would be bankrupt in a while if he spent like this.
“Tell someone to send these to my car downstairs for us!” Vincent ordered after he finished paying.
He was an unblinking, quick buyer. The two had barely went in for half an hour and he had already bought a bunch of things. Tent, clothes, shoes, but not food. “Aren’t we supposed to go camping? Shouldn’t we bring food? I’ll go buy something to eat, you can wait for me in the car!”
Hearing this, his slanted eyes suddenly beamed with laughter and he replied, “No, we won’t be bringing!”
“Then what can we eat?”
“I’ll eat you if I’m hungry! But if you’re hungry you can only starve!” Saying this, he laughed again. The way he laughed was so exquisite that Leila immediately fell for him.
Leila muttered silently, he could not possibly eat her. If they were not buying food then so be it, no one was afraid! The car keys opened the car lock from afar, and they got on the car. The clothes were sent here and were placed into the boot. The car then drove towards the countryside, seeming to be the way to the mountains. “Are we really going into the mountains?”
Only his low and melodic laugher replied her, and she blushed again.
On a tall mountain in City R, the car glided on the road surrounding the mountain.
Sunlight covered the thick, green forest. Passing through this strip of thick forest, though the crowd of thickets, it can be seen that under the surrounding of all the thorns and roses that there stood a mysterious castle. The castle did not seem to be of ancient age, but rather it looked like a retro style building. The tall grey walls were covered in dark green ivy, it was so much that it almost covered up the windows, some even getting into the windows.
White roses grown fully in front of the ivy. The roses glided with the wind, its intricate white so light that its petals were like crystals, shining in multiple colours under the sunlight.
Passing through the tall walls was a large piece of lawn, and the entire castle appeared. It was a beautiful European style castle taking up hundreds of acres, standing in a strip of greenery. The most mesmerising view was the huge amount of green ivy surrounding the castle, and the occasional cow and sheep wandering on the lawn.
This place was beautiful!
Leila fell in love with this place at first sight, the large pieces of youthful green allowed the complete relaxation of a person’s mood.
Further, this place was extraordinarily quiet, as if it was a haven on earth.
The farm, the ranch, what a relaxing scene of the countryside!
“We’re not allowed to enter here!” Leila suddenly saw that the mountain path towards the farm had a sign standing, stating on it that unauthorised persons and outsiders were not allowed in.
Vincent curled his lips into a smile, and drove the car directly through the gates of the farm.
At this moment, the gatekeeper saw the incoming car and immediately opened the gate. The Bugatti slid in.
“We can go in?” Leila was shocked, her insides extremely excited.
When Leila got off the car, her feet stepping on the path made by pure mountain rock, her entire person was so eager and her feelings inside were indescribable. “Mr White, such a beautiful place!”
Vincent smiled and did not reply, facing the beautiful castle behind the lawn, he glanced at Leila. “Let’s go, who said we’re not allowed to enter? Look, aren’t we already in?”
“That’s right, the gatekeeper didn’t stop us!” Leila was extraordinarily excited. “There really isn’t anyone here!”
The sun was setting and a breeze was blowing, she really wanted to live here and not leave.
The castle was on a piece of high ground after the lawn, and they had to climb a hill to get up. But the path up was unique, paved in green stones all the way until the entrance of the castle.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
