HUN Chapter 104: A Day of Spending Millions

Lin Yu'an held his return ticket for two days later and decided to use this time to prepare a surprise for his family back in Montana.

He drove a rented G63 to a high-end tobacco and liquor specialty store in Guangzhou.

Lin Yu'an's eyes swept over rows of exquisitely packaged items as he began ordering according to the list he had researched on Baidu.

"Zhonghua (Soft), one hundred cartons."

"Yellow Crane Tower (1916), fifty cartons."

"Nanjing (95 Supreme), fifty cartons."

"Baisha (Harmony World), fifty cartons."

"Zhongnanhai (Collection), fifty cartons."

"Finally, Double Happiness (Collection Premium), fifty cartons."

"Sir, this quantity..."

"Is there a problem?" Lin Yu'an's gaze calmly swept over.

"No... no problem! It's just that this price is at least over 400,000 yuan."

Lin Yu'an ignored this comment and turned to the wine rack on the other side, continuing, "Flying Moutai, 53 proof, thirty-year vintage, how many do you have?"

A manager who could reach this position wouldn't lack perception. He knew he had definitely encountered a big customer!

The manager quickly lowered his posture even more, maximizing his smile service, "Sir, we only have the last six bottles in our warehouse."

"I'll take them all."

"Regular Flying Moutai, give me ten cases, one hundred twenty bottles."

"Wuliangye (1618), twenty cases."

"Jiannanchun 1573, twenty cases."

"Yes, boss! All noted down!"

"Please review: tobacco totals 435,000 yuan, liquor totals 900,000 yuan, grand total 1,335,000 yuan! What do you think..."

"Credit card."

Lin Yu'an took out a black card with no unnecessary information from his wallet, an American bank card.

Seeing this card, Manager Wang's smile froze.

"Boss... this is a foreign card?"

"I'm very sorry, our POS system is directly connected to the domestic banking system. Processing foreign cards might be troublesome, with about a 3% cross-border transaction fee. This cost..."

"No problem, proceed."

"Very good!" Manager Wang nodded repeatedly.

"The main issue is that such a large foreign card transaction might trigger the bank's risk control, and with domestic foreign exchange controls, it might not go through in one transaction."

"Let's try first..."

He first called the bank's corporate business department to report this upcoming large cross-border transaction.

Then he carefully input the total amount including fees into the POS machine, 1,335,000 yuan.

Lin Yu'an casually pressed several digits for the password and hit confirm.

The entire room was filled only with the POS machine's "beep beep beep" network connection sounds, each beep like a hammer on Manager Wang's heart.

One second, two seconds...

"Beep—"

After a crisp long tone, a long receipt slowly and smoothly emerged from the POS machine.

Transaction successful!

Manager Wang looked at the clear numbers on the receipt, completely relieved, then a surge of enormous joy flooded his heart.

This transaction was legitimate! He had already thought of dozens of anti-fraud scripts in his mind.

The smile on his face could no longer be described as "enthusiastic", it was almost obsequious reverence.

"Boss! Please take a seat! I'll immediately arrange our most professional team to personally deliver to your residence!"

He returned the black card and receipt to Lin Yu'an with both hands, bowing almost ninety degrees.

Lin Yu'an retrieved the card, didn't even look at the receipt, just calmly stood up.

"Deliver to Zhujiang New Town XX Apartment, Tower A, penthouse."

After saying this, he turned and left, leaving Manager Wang standing there as if still in a dream, watching the taillights of his black G63 disappear into the night.

He came to Taikoo Hui in Guangzhou and went straight to the VIP room of Chow Tai Fook's Heritage series.

"Four pure gold bracelets with double phoenix auspicious patterns, each no less than 80 grams."

"Eight gold necklaces with different designs, about 40 grams each, in the most luxurious styles."

"Zodiac golden ox locks for the twelve zodiac signs, two sets."

Half an hour later, several heavy gift bags with hot-stamped logos were loaded onto his G63.

Another consumption of over 500,000 yuan, Lin Yu'an didn't blink throughout, as if he was buying cabbage instead of gold.

Finally, Lin Yu'an's figure appeared at Guangzhou's largest children's goods market.

From "Goodbaby" strollers to various educational toys, remote control race cars, and deluxe Disney princesses, he used the most straightforward method to express his care for all the children in the family.

After all shopping was completed, in the penthouse hotel apartment of Zhujiang New Town.

It was almost filled with various packaging boxes and gift bags, like a logistics distribution warehouse.

Lin Yu'an had been shopping all day and finally had a chance to rest, pouring himself a glass of water.

"Store."

With one thought, all the gifts instantly disappeared into that mysterious space known to no one.

The space was now packed full, finally completing this domestic shopping spree.

A few days later, at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.

Lin Yu'an still carried only a simple backpack, easily passing through security.

In the VIP lounge, watching planes take off and land outside the window, he closed his eyes. His consciousness swept over the "treasure mountain" in his space that he had personally purchased and accumulated, feeling unprecedented satisfaction!

In the space, two large Rimowa aluminum-magnesium alloy suitcases were filled with cigarettes, liquor, gold jewelry, toys, and all other gifts.

After more than twenty hours of flying and transfers, the plane landed smoothly at Billings Airport in Montana.

The familiar cold air made him feel incredibly close to home.

Lin Yu'an went into the restroom, changed clothes, and with a thought, those two suitcases appeared at his feet. He calmly wheeled them toward the exit.

When Lin Yu'an walked out of the arrival hall pushing two giant silver suitcases, he immediately saw Aliya and eldest brother Wyatt who had come to pick him up.

"Over here, honey!"

Aliya quickly stepped forward and gave him an affectionate hug.

Then she looked at those two giant suitcases in surprise, "How much did you bring back? They look heavy."

Big brother Wyatt also whistled, walked over and patted the sturdy case, producing a "thump thump" muffled sound.

He tried to lift one with one hand but found the case wouldn't budge, exclaiming, "Hey! Lin, did you pack gold in here? How is it so heavy!"

Lin Yu'an smiled mysteriously, "Pretty much, surprises for all of you."

On the way back to the ranch, Aliya asked coquettishly, "Darling, tell me quickly, what did you buy?"

Lin Yu'an held her hand and said softly, "Some Chinese specialties you've never seen, and some... things everyone will like."

Wyatt looked at him through the rearview mirror and laughed heartily, "Lin, I'm even more curious what you brought! But bringing so much stuff through customs, weren't you inspected?"

"Don't worry, I paid plenty of taxes, all procedures were compliant."

Lin Yu'an answered flawlessly. No one would imagine these items had "appeared out of thin air" within US borders.

That evening's welcome dinner was extraordinarily lively.

When everyone was well-fed and gathered around the fireplace chatting, Lin Yu'an smiled and stood up.

"Alright everyone, the specialties I brought from China for you can now be unboxed."

He walked to the hallway and, together with big brother Wyatt, carried those two huge silver suitcases to the center of the living room carpet.

"Oh? An, what did you buy that requires such big cases?"

Second brother Garrett curiously approached and kicked the case with his foot, feeling like he kicked a block of iron.

Under the expectant gazes of the entire family, Lin Yu'an clicked open the lock of the first case.

What met their eyes was a sight divided into several areas by exquisite black velvet dividers.

On the left were premium cigarettes arranged like a military parade formation, on the right were bottles of premium Chinese liquor secured with foam.

Those packages full of Eastern elements held mysterious yet noble attraction for the Americans present!

The entire living room was quiet for a full three seconds.

Then, Robert's and the brothers' breathing immediately became excited!

"This... this is..."

Robert's voice was somewhat hoarse as he pointed at the case, looking at Lin Yu'an, "Is this Chinese tobacco and liquor?"

Lin Yu'an smiled and introduced, "China's premium tobacco and liquor, gifts for you."

This statement was like igniting a powder keg!

Robert almost rushed over, carefully picking up a bottle of Moutai.

When he saw the "53%" marking on the bottle, he drew in a sharp breath and said gravely to his sons behind him, "Oh God! 53 proof! Is this stuff for dragons to drink!"

Third brother Bo was quick to grab a carton of "Nanjing 95 Supreme", examining the lifelike dragon on it from all angles, exclaiming, "Dad! Look at this! There's really a dragon, an Eastern dragon!"

Lin Yu'an watched the men fall into frenzy and smiled as he turned to the second case.

He used the same method to unlock the second case's combination lock, then slowly opened the lid.

Inside the case were neatly arranged, exquisitely packaged black velvet jewelry boxes of various sizes, along with packaging boxes for toys and electronic products.

There was no golden radiance, but the numerous, varied-sized gift boxes themselves were full of mysterious anticipation.

The women's and children's curiosity instantly reached its peak.

Lin Yu'an crouched down and personally took out four square jewelry boxes from the case first.

He stood up and walked to Aliya's four mothers, handing each gift box to them one by one, his voice sincere and full of respect.

"Susan, Maytha, Kate, and Anna, these are gifts for you, thanking you for taking such good care of Aliya, and for everything you've done for Ethan and Olivia."

The four mothers received the gift boxes. Susan opened hers first, and when she saw the heavy gold bracelet carved with vintage rose patterns in the box, she was shocked.

Under the warm living room lights, that pure gold color without any impurities radiated warm yet substantial brilliance.

"Oh, Hermann... this... is this gold?"

Susan's voice was full of genuine emotion.

The other three mothers also opened their gift boxes successively, seeing equally exquisite gold bracelets.

They looked at each other, all seeing the same shock and emotion in each other's eyes.

Second mom Maytha walked over and gave Lin Yu'an a warm hug.

"Hermann, you and Aliya living happily is the best gift for us! But... we really love it, thank you for joining our big family."

The other mothers also expressed their thanks and love for the gifts one by one.

After distributing the mothers' gifts, Lin Yu'an took out eight smaller rectangular jewelry boxes from the case and handed them to Aliya's several sisters-in-law.

"These are for you, thank you for your constant warmth and help."

The sisters-in-law excitedly opened the gift boxes, finding gold necklaces of different styles that were exquisite and sparkling.

They immediately excitedly held them up to their necks, having their husbands help put them on, their faces glowing with happy and satisfied smiles, all expressing thanks to Lin Yu'an.

Without exaggerated commotion, Lin Yu'an's ceremonial way of distributing gifts made every woman who received a gift feel respected and cherished.

Next, Lin Yu'an distributed the remaining toys in the case one by one to the children who were already impatient, completely turning the living room into an ocean of joy.

Little nephew hugged the Iron Man toy, excitedly rolling around on the ground, while little nieces had already started changing clothes for Princess Elsa.

The dinner ended in a scene of happy chaos.

Lin Yu'an and Aliya also returned to their room.

Then he took out a long wooden box from his backpack.

"They all have gifts, but this one belongs only to you."

Aliya took a deep breath, calmed her excited feelings, then carefully opened the box that emitted a faint woody fragrance.

On the box's velvet lining, a Hetian jade hairpin, warm and lustrous like congealed fat, lay quietly there.

The pin head was carved into a budding magnolia flower, with flowing lines and full petals, full of Eastern classical charm.

"Oh, darling, so beautiful! Very Chinese!"

Lin Yu'an smiled, took the hairpin from her hand, then gently turned it over and handed the pin body to her eyes.

"Look carefully here."

Aliya curiously leaned closer, only to see in a very hidden position below the magnolia flower on the pin body, a row of fine, delicate English letters engraved.

She read out letter by letter softly:

"To my beloved wife, Aliya."

When the last letter left her lips, Aliya excitedly hugged him.

However precious gold might be, it was respect given to family.

However rare tobacco and liquor might be, it was friendship shared with brothers.

Only this jade hairpin, this line of small text, belonged completely and uniquely to her alone, a one-of-a-kind love.

"Aliya, thank you."

"Thank you for bearing me two little angels, thank you for supporting everything I want to do, thank you for being willing to accompany me to Alaska."

He understood her, understood that she might not comprehend those profound Chinese characters, so he used the way most familiar to her to carve this love into this most Eastern token.

Aliya used all her strength to tightly hug Lin Yu'an, burying her face deeply in his chest, no words, only close embrace.

After a long while, she finally raised her somewhat reddened, beautiful light green eyes and looked at him.

"Home is wherever you are. I'm willing to go wherever you take me."
