The ladies and wives Xu Ke t at the banquet often invited Lin ngyao to go shopping or attend gatherings together.
"Where are you off to this afternoon?" Xu Ke asked, looking at the exquisitely dressed Lin ngyao with a gentle tone.
"Going shopping over at Golden Port City. My feet have been aching so much lately," Lin ngyao said, rubbing her sore calf.
"If it’s painful, just skip it. You can go shopping any ti; there’s no need to squeeze it in today." Xu Ke stood up from his seat, walked over to Lin ngyao, and placed her legs on his lap, gently massaging them.
Lin ngyao gradually showed an expression of enjoynt, her voice lazily hoarse as she said, "You don’t understand the joy of shopping for girls. I quite like shopping with Miss Bai, as she always finds so rare and quirky items, which are particularly interesting." Lin ngyao half-opened her eyes and looked at Xu Ke.
"Alright, but don’t wear high heels today. Put on so flats; your feet will feel more comfortable," Xu Ke said, looking at the ten-centiter high heels on the floor.
"No way, high heels look the best! They perfectly showcase a woman’s most beautiful posture and visually elongate the leg proportions, so don’t even think about making change them." Lin ngyao said firmly.
"Fine, you always have ten counterargunts ready for every word I say. I won’t argue with you anymore since I can’t win. I’ll accompany you today, carry your bags, and take you ho." Xu Ke said softly, looking at Lin ngyao with indulgent helplessness.
Lin ngyao’s ears turned a little red, and with a proud hum, she focused on enjoying Xu Ke’s service.
In the afternoon, at Golden Port City.
When Xu Ke and Lin ngyao arrived, Miss Bai hadn’t shown up yet. However, she called to tell them she had sothing co up and would be half an hour late.
"No worries, take your ti; I’m waiting for you here," Lin ngyao said to Miss Bai.
"I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect this to happen; I was just about to head out. You go ahead and shop, and I’ll treat you to a al when I arrive," Miss Bai’s gentle voice ca through the phone.
"Okay." Lin ngyao agreed, and after chatting for a bit more, they hung up.
"All sorted? Then let’s go shopping; I saw a store on my way here with clothes that I think would suit you. Let’s go have a look, and there are sofas inside where you can rest for a while," Xu Ke suggested.
"Sure." Lin ngyao nodded, curious to see what kind of clothes Xu Ke thought suited her.
Xu Ke always had a clear shopping target. He led Lin ngyao into the store where he’d spotted the clothes, had the staff help Lin ngyao sit on a sofa to rest, and directly headed to the clothes he liked, asking the staff to take them down.
"This gentleman has a very good eye; this dress is a new style for our spring-sumr collection. The peacock blue color complents your complexion, and the high-waist design can make your waist appear slimr, also elongating your overall proportion, making you look even more slender," the staff said with a smile, presenting the dress to Lin ngyao.
Looking at the dress in the staff’s hands, Lin ngyao’s eyes showed a bit of experience.
"I’ll try it on." A hint of a smile appeared on Lin ngyao’s face, and she looked at Xu Ke expectantly.
"Go ahead, I’ll wait for you outside," Xu Ke said with a smile, patting Lin ngyao on the back.
Seeing that they were ready, the staff perceptively stepped forward and said to Lin ngyao, "Please follow to the fitting room."
The silhouettes of the two won disappeared from Xu Ke’s view, and about three minutes later, Lin ngyao erged from the fitting room.
Just as the staff had said, the peacock blue color set off Lin ngyao’s skin to glow like jade, reflecting a captivating gloss under the lights. The high-waisted design outlined her slender waist, making her overall appearance even more slender and elongated. The feather design at the waist-to-hip transition point added a touch of ethereal elegance to the dress, making Lin ngyao look like a fairy from the heavens, but the kind of cool and beautiful fairy.
Seeing the admiration and fascination in Xu Ke’s eyes made Lin ngyao even happier. She even twirled around in front of Xu Ke.
"Does it look good?" Lin ngyao asked, like a child awaiting praise, her big eyes sparkling.
"It looks great, wrap this dress up for ..."
"Wrap this dress up for ," a coquettish girl interrupted just as Xu Ke was about to pay, making both Xu Ke and Lin ngyao simultaneously frown.
"Sorry, Miss, but this dress was chosen first by this couple, so we can’t sell it to you. You could look at our other dresses," the staff courteously apologized, but the young girl who had just entered wasn’t appeased.
She clung to the arm of a man old enough to be her father, haughtily saying, "No, I don’t want other dresses, I just want the one she’s wearing. I think the one on her looks good."
"Darling, you must buy that dress. As long as you buy it for , you can do whatever you want tonight," she said, pointing at Lin ngyao’s dress and flirting with the unattractive, overweight man.
"You said it, don’t go back on your word." The man, enticed by her words, montarily looked at Lin ngyao with a lustful gaze before focusing all his attention on the girl, a hopeful look spreading across his face.
The girl’s expression showed hesitance, but seeing Lin ngyao’s stunning appearance in the dress and her handso companion looking at her with tender eyes, she bit her pale lips and declared, "I won’t go back on it."
She was envious, envious of everything Lin ngyao possessed, even though they didn’t know each other at all.
"Why are you all standing here? Didn’t you hear what my sweetheart said? We want this dress, wrap it up now," the man impatiently waved his hand.
Xu Ke and Lin ngyao frowned even more deeply, feeling these two were incredibly rude.
"Sorry, sir, but this dress was selected by this couple first," the staff said, showing a slightly awkward smile.
"Have they bought it? Can they afford it? Look at how they’re dressed, acting like sothing they’re not, none of their clothes or shoes are from a big brand. Then look at , is there anything I’m wearing that’s not a big brand? Who do you think has the capability to buy this dress between us?" The man proudly puffed out his chest, showing off his expensive attire to the staff.
Staff in luxury stores are trained to be sharp-eyed; although the man’s attire was all branded, they didn’t dare underestimate Xu Ke. They couldn’t recognize the brand of Xu Ke’s clothing, but judging by the material and design, it was likely not cheap. Besides, so wealthy people prefer custom-made clothes. With this in mind, the staff retracted their gaze from Xu Ke.
In Shangjing, you can’t casually underestimate anyone; the cleaning lady at the door might just have two relatives working in governnt.
