"Yes, I also think this one’s quite nice."
"Miss, a gentleman over there asked to bring this coat for you to try. He said that this coat, paired with a goose-yellow skirt, would complent your skin tone beautifully. A beauty like yourself primarily captivates with your ethereal charm and the potent Spiritual Energy you exude. As for this water-blue dress, while it also looks lovely, it doesn’t quite suit your temperant," the attendant said with a smile, approaching with a uniquely designed, pure white fur coat and a pair of white shoes.
Murmurs spread through the crowd. "That’s a globally limited-edition fur coat, made from the purest fur of a precious snow fox! It’s a global limited release. We never expected to see such a million-dollar piece here. Who is this young lady, to receive such a valuable item?"
Listening to the crowd’s murmurs, Shangguan You’s mouth twitched sharply. She clearly saw the man across from her, smiling like an idiot. Damn it, I’m really having bad luck today! First, Shangguan Rou dragged out to be her shield, and now this flirtatious man has thrust into the spotlight.
I can’t keep a low profile even if I want to.
"Who sent it?" Envy and indignant rage flared in Shangguan Rou’s eyes. We were both born of the sa father, so why is Shangguan You so lucky? She receives gifts worth millions, while no one even notices !
When it cos to looks, I don’t think I’m any less attractive than Shangguan You. But since her return, has all the glory that once shone on completely disappeared?
"The gentleman has already departed. He asked Miss Shangguan to accept this gift and ntioned that he eagerly anticipates eting Miss Shangguan again," the attendant replied with a professional smile.
"Since the gentleman has already left, we cannot accept such a valuable gift. Please return it for us," Shangguan Qing stated. That fleeting shadow earlier... I only caught a glimpse before he vanished. It seems that man knows Youyou. But such an expensive gift... what if he wants sothing in return?
"Brother Qing, since he wants to give it, let’s just accept it. Help get it packed, this one too. There’s no need to try them on." Shangguan You interrupted Shangguan Qing. She didn’t want any involvent with that man. Since he said we’ll et again, I can just return it to him next ti. That flashy peacock!
"Sister, isn’t this gift too extravagant? It doesn’t seem right to accept it," Shangguan Rou said sourly, her eyes scanning the surroundings but finding no particularly eye-catching n.
"Shangguan You, don’t tell you’ve beco soone’s kept woman! Why else would so strange man send you clothes?" Shen Jia blurted out angrily. Before she could say more, Duan i quickly clamped a hand over her mouth to stop her reckless words.
With a crisp SMACK! Shangguan You’s slender hand flashed out, striking Shen Jia hard across the face. The once-bustling shop fell instantly silent. Shen Cheng’s eyes flickered as he looked at Shangguan You.
"Shen Jia, you should engage your brain before opening your mouth. Consider this a lesson. Next ti, it won’t be this easy for you." Shangguan You’s cold gaze swept over Shen Jia. Then, amidst everyone’s stares, she walked into the fitting room to change back into her original clothes.
"So what if you have so dirty money? I really don’t get how your brain works. Is it flooded or sothing? To make a na for yourself in Beijing, you need more than just money. You country bumpkin! If you don’t understand, let your big sister here teach you," Shangguan Rou said contemptuously, stepping towards Shen Jia’s twisted expression.
"If I hear such slander again, you’d all better seriously consider your futures," Shangguan Qing’s usually gentle eyes turned cold, his fists clenching so tightly they audibly creaked. What kind of life has my little sister been living in B City?
"What’s so great about you? Aren’t you just—" Before Shen Jia could finish, Duan i, intimidated by the imposing aura of the newcors, quickly covered her mouth. Wanqian also pulled Shen Jia back, preventing her from speaking recklessly.
Shen Cheng and his companions, who had sharp eyes, noticed two n and two won approaching. A flicker of surprise and delight crossed Shen Cheng’s face; he hadn’t expected to run into these particular people here. The four newcors walked over and surrounded Shangguan Qing.
A man about Shangguan Qing’s age, Gui Jun, stepped forward and gave Shangguan Qing a friendly punch on the arm before saying teasingly, "Well, well, I was wondering who was causing a stir here. I certainly didn’t expect to see our esteed Young Master Qing! What’s up? Shopping with your precious little sister?"
"The ever-so-gentle and polite Young Master Qing gracing this place with his presence? Truly a rare sight! How about it? Honor us with your company for a al. Youyou, we et again." Gui Mo’s charming peach-blossom eyes twinkled, and he shot a flirtatious wink towards the fitting room Zi Yuqian was currently occupying.
"Brother Qing," Gui Luo murmured, her face flushing as she looked at Shangguan Qing. She then shyly followed behind the Gui brothers, her cheeks an even deeper red.
"Rourou, you’re here! Why didn’t you call us? If we’d known, we could have all co shopping together. Wouldn’t that have been much better?" one of the won, Li isu—Shangguan Rou’s cousin and a young lady of the Li Family—exclaid with a wide smile, taking Shangguan Rou’s arm.
"Cousin, I ca with my sister. You know she just returned to Beijing. Grandfather asked Brother Qing and to bring her out to shop and reconnect with old friends and classmates. I didn’t expect to run into you all here," Shangguan Rou said affectionately, quickly stepping forward to link arms with Li isu.
"Why is *she* back?" Li isu lowered her voice, her gaze flicking towards Shangguan You.
"Shangguan You is back? She’s been making quite a splash on TV again these past few days. Everyone in our circle considers her a genius, and Grandfather even told us to learn from her. We’ve been cooped up at ho because of it, so it’s a relief to finally get out and about—and to run into her! It’s been half a year; I wonder if she’s beco even more beautiful," Gui Luo said with a smile. She glanced at Shangguan Qing, then blushed and lowered her head.
"Half a year already! I wonder if little Youyou has grown more beautiful? Young Master Qing, you’re really sothing, not even telling us she was back! You know, when Youyou left, we were all heartbroken for quite a while," Gui Jun chid in teasingly.
