"A very beautiful doll." Lu Siyao agreed.
Gu Jin rolled her eyes playfully.
"Alright, let’s go before Siyao decides to add more makeup."
Lu Siyao grinned and grabbed her bag. "Let’s go, ladies!"
They left the house, making their way to the market.
The streets were bustling with people, and the air was filled with the chatter of vendors and custors.
The lively atmosphere helped ease so of the tension from the previous night.
"Let’s go to a mall first! I can’t bear to shop in the heat," Lu Siyao suggested.
Gu Jin nodded in agreent, and they headed to a nearby mall.
The air conditioning was a welco relief, and they began to browse through the various stores.
"Let’s first buy so clothes. The last ti I bought clothes was when I was 15! Now I am about to turn 17, yet I wear the sa clothes repeatedly!" Lu Siyao sighed.
Gu Jin wasn’t worried that Lu Siyao might not have enough money.
From the ti she was sponsored by soone till now, Lu Siyao has gained many rewards, she and Liang Bao were also part of a rcenary group.
They earn just enough to save up for their cultivation resources, and daily expenses.
So Lu Siyao and Liang Bao had enough money to buy clothes worth more than 100,000 yuan.
If they were looking for ordinary clothes, then Gu Jin was sure the bill wouldn’t even reach 50,00 yuan.
It can’t be helped.
The cultivation clothes in the magic world are too expensive. But when it cos to ordinary clothes, the price is so low that Gu Jin could use half of her fortune to buy 5 stores of ordinary clothes.
As far as she knew Liang Bao and Lu Siyao were not interested in cultivation clothes, so they most likely would go to so ordinary clothes shop.
Gu Jin observed as Lu Siyao and Liang Bao excitedly discussed their shopping plans.
They headed toward the clothing stores in the mall, the vibrant energy of the place lifting their spirits.
As they walked through the aisles of clothes, Lu Siyao picked out various outfits, holding them up to herself and twirling around playfully.
Liang Bao joined in, selecting a few pieces and asking for opinions.
Gu Jin, still feeling a bit self-conscious about her makeup and outfit, browsed through the racks with a more reserved approach.
Suddenly, Lu Siyao appeared with a dress in her hands. "Go and try this one," she said, holding up a stunning red gown.
The dress was exquisite. It was a deep crimson color with intricate black lace detailing along the bodice and hem.
The neckline was a modest V, and the back dipped slightly, giving it an elegant yet alluring look.
The fabric flowed gracefully, and the gown seed to shimr subtly under the mall’s lighting.
Gu Jin hesitated, eyeing the dress warily.
"Siyao, this looks too... much," she said, but Lu Siyao was already pushing her towards the changing rooms.
"No argunts, Jin’er. Just try it on. Trust , you’ll look amazing," Lu Siyao insisted.
Reluctantly, Gu Jin took the dress and went into the changing room.
Anyways she would have to listen to Lu Siyao in the end.
As she slipped into the gown, she couldn’t help but admire how well it fit.
The fabric hugged her figure perfectly, and the color complented her complexion. Taking a deep breath, she stepped out of the changing room.
The mont Gu Jin erged, Lu Siyao and Liang Bao’s eyes widened in awe.
"Wow, Jin’er, you look like a goddess!" Lu Siyao exclaid, clapping her hands together in delight.
Liang Bao nodded in agreent, a smile spreading across her face.
"Absolutely stunning. You should definitely get this dress."
At the sa ti, a cheerful girl who was passing by took out her phone to snap a picture of the store’s display.
Inadvertently, she captured Gu Jin in the background, her outfit and face perfectly frad in the shot.
Neither the girl nor Gu Jin noticed this, as Gu Jin was focused on her friends’ reactions.
"Jin’er twirl a bit!" Lu Siyao said with an excited expression. In her hand was a phone. She was planning to record a video of Gu Jin and save it.
Gu Jin rolled her eyes but still did as Lu Siyao asked her to.
"Oh! Please smile a bit! You are looking as if soone has stolen all of your money!"
Gu Jin forcefully smiled. She was unaware that her beauty attracted the attention of two young n who were sitting just at a certain distance.
One of the young n had striking red hair and wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face, giving him a mysterious aura.
The other one had a blue hair.
The red hair young man stared at Gu Jin with fascination and said,
"Wow! That girl is so beautiful! I wish she was my girlfriend!"
The blue-haired young man rolled his eyes.
This guy already had more than 3 girlfriends and he still wants to make more?
How selfish!
He shifted his gaze to Gu Jin. He admits that Gu Jin was truly very beautiful. For a mont even he was tempted to ask her out.
But...why does she look sowhat familiar?
The blue-haired young man thought for a long while but couldn’t rember.
"Hey! Hanzhu! What are you thinking?" The red-haired young man asked. "By the way, is it true that Yifan’s fiance cheated on him?"
Fei Hanzhu rolled his eyes and asked,
"Why will I tell you what I am thinking and how would I know whether Yifan’s fiance has truly cheated on him or not."
"How can you not know? You are his only best friend. Even though he claims that everyone is his friend, only you are the one whom he sincerely treats as a friend."
"Gao Xiong, why are you so curious about whether Yifan is wearing a green hat or not?" Fei Hazhu asked. His eyes were narrowed.
(Green hat: Getting cheated on.)
"Ah! Brother Hanzhu, how could you suspect ? I was just curious!" Gao Xiong said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"By the way, brother Hanzhu, why are we in Fujio city? Even after I asked so many tis, you didn’t answer. Just what secret are you trying to hide?" Gao Xiong asked.
Fei Hanzhu’s expression turned serious.
The higher-ups had given Long Yifan a task that was completed by him in just 4 months, yet he dragged his stay in Fujio City.
When the higher-ups again asked Long Yifan to go to Fujio City again, declined firmly. Which was truly strange.
So the higher-ups sent him in the end!
At first, Fei Hanzhu kept on pestering Long Yifan asking him why he was declined but when he saw how sad Long Yifan was, he gave up and decided to investigate on his own.
"Jin’er let’s buy this one." Lu Siyao said with an excited expression.
Gu Jin shook her head,
"No need, I..."
Gao Xiong had a lean body, a height of 176 cm, and an average-looking face. But because of his rich background, everyone subconsciously ignores his shortcomings.
"Brother, I am going to go and try my luck! Wish all the best!" Gao Xiong said and sprinted.
He was worried that Fei Hanzhu would fancy Gu Jin too.
If Fei Hanzhu who was not only handso, talented, and had a rich background made a move, then he...a small fry would not be even able to talk to his new crush.
From the looks of it, that beautiful girl might want to buy the gown but because of how expensive it was, she was hesitating so much.
As long as he can buy it for her, she will definitely have a good impression of him.
Fei Hanzhu understood Gao Xiong’s concerns and wanted to laugh.
Gu Jin was indeed too beautiful but he doesn’t like weak white lotus.
Why does he think Gu Jin is a white lotus?
Well she did so much makeup and ca to the clothing store to buy clothes, but she still was hesitating in trying a gown...it was indeed too pretentious.
Gu Jin shook her head as she looked at herself in the mirror. "No need, I—"
Before she could finish her sentence, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
It was Gao Xiong, waving a golden card with a broad smile on his face.
"Excuse , miss," Gao Xiong said confidently,
"I’d be honored to buy this gown for you. A beautiful dress for a beautiful lady."
Gu Jin blinked in surprise, her eyebrows knitting together.
"No, thank you," she replied coldly. "I can buy my own clothes."
Gao Xiong’s smile faltered for a mont, but he quickly recovered.
"Co on, it’s just a small gesture of appreciation. It’s not every day I see soone as stunning as you."
Lu Siyao and Liang Bao exchanged glances, unsure of how to react to the sudden intrusion.
