Li Yundong and the girl both turned their heads to look, only to see the sales associate from before re-enter, followed by another girl dressed in a long, purple gown—it was Su Chan.
Su Chan’s two smooth, fair shoulders were alluringly bare, exposing a significant expanse of her snowy, tender chest. The curve of her full, perfect breasts was sharply revealed by the cut of her dress, creating a sensual valley between them.
Suspended between her peaks was a glittering diamond necklace that shimmered with brilliance and an air of noble wealth.
The waist of the gown featured handcrafted tailoring that cinched her slender figure into a breathtakingly elegant hourglass shape. The satin flowed down her soft waist and then dramatically flared out at the hips, sculpting a perfect silhouette reminiscent of a gourd.
Li Yundong’s gaze lingered on Su Chan’s astonishing curves for a long moment, then drifted downward involuntarily. He saw the hem of her purple dress pooling around her feet like tiered clouds, as if she were a celestial being descending on a vibrant mist.
Su Chan perfectly embodied every quality of this purple ensemble—its allure, its dignified grandeur, its supreme elegance, and its noble grace. For a suspended moment, the boutique fell utterly silent. The front desk staff who had been watching, Li Yundong who had been provoked into irritation, and even the noisy, enraged girl, all stared at Su Chan, stunned into silence by her sheer beauty.
Li Yundong noticed that in addition to the purple gown, Su Chan’s hair had also been styled, blown dry, curled, and trimmed.
Her raven-black, lustrous hair was swept up high, appearing like a dark cloud resting artfully on her head. This regal hairstyle perfectly echoed the dignified and majestic quality of the gown. Coupled with the black, open-toed high heels she wore, it accentuated her slender figure and intoxicating beauty.
Li Yundong was so mesmerized he completely forgot about showing off to the girl he had been arguing with. He stammered, “That entire ensemble…”
The sales associate quickly stepped forward, apologizing profusely. “I am so sorry, sir. We waited for you for quite some time, and when you didn’t arrive, I took the liberty of taking this young lady to try on a pair of high heels in the adjacent boutique. While she was trying on the shoes, the neighboring hair salon insisted on giving her a complimentary hairstyle just for a promotional photograph. She didn’t object, so…”
Li Yundong finally understood: the young woman’s beauty and presence had caused a minor sensation nearby, and the hair salon had seized the opportunity to use her as a living advertisement. He pointed to the heels on Su Chan’s feet. “And what about these?”
The sales associate glanced at Su Chan with envy and explained, “The owner of the shoe store wanted her to be the face of their brand, so they gifted her a pair of shoes…”
Li Yundong asked, surprised, “You agreed to that?”
Su Chan giggled sweetly, “I didn’t!”
Li Yundong was even more taken aback. “So they were just given to you?”
The sales associate clarified, “Not entirely free. The owner only asked that if people inquired about the shoes, this young lady might mention their store. Of course, if she were willing to become an official endorser or a trial model for the brand, she would receive all future shoes for free.”
Li Yundong pointed to the jewel necklace resting on Su Chan’s chest. “And what’s the story with this?”
The sales associate replied, “This is matching jewelry custom-made by our boutique specifically for this gown. If you dislike it, we can certainly remove it.”
Li Yundong’s eyes were wide with disbelief. Good heavens, they had come out to buy a dress and ended up transforming her from head to toe!
The girl who had been arguing with Li Yundong was now frozen, staring blankly at Su Chan, as if unable to trust her own eyes.
“Are there really women this beautiful in the world?” The girl was herself a rare beauty, someone who had always taken pride in her looks since childhood. But to suddenly encounter someone on this level left her utterly shaken!
The designer clothes and jewelry adorning Su Chan were secondary. The most critical point was that not only could she effortlessly carry off this grand, valuable gown, shoes, and accessories, but she also imbued them with an entirely new aura through her unique temperament!
When a beautiful woman wears these items, she can highlight their features and style—that makes her a supermodel. But when a beautiful woman wears these items and simultaneously imparts a unique essence back onto the clothing, that transcends the role of a mere model!
Who was this woman? She looked… could she really be this pervert, this degenerate man’s girlfriend?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
How could such a shameless, despicable man possibly have such an exquisitely beautiful girlfriend?
The girl shook her head violently, refusing to accept the reality before her.
Seeing Li Yundong staring at her with fixed eyes, Su Chan waved her hand in front of his face and murmured sweetly, “What is it? Don’t you recognize your little lady anymore?”
Li Yundong struggled to swallow, asking breathlessly, “You’re too beautiful! I almost didn’t recognize you!”
Su Chan’s eyes shimmered with soft allure as she chuckled, “No matter how beautiful I am, I’m still your little lady!”
Li Yundong let out a loud laugh, finally remembering the girl who had been miffed with him earlier. He turned, slipped an arm around Su Chan’s waist, and shot the other girl a deliberately provocative glance.
The girl felt a surge of fury; she desperately wanted to leap up and tear these two apart, to free this pure, stunning girl from the clutches of that great wolf!
“This is infuriating! When has Shen Hui ever been humiliated like this!” Shen Hui was so angry her vision swam. “Does this mean that guy took advantage of me for nothing before? No! Absolutely not! I cannot let that lecher have this advantage! He must be a total perv!”
The sales associate glanced at Su Chan, then at Li Yundong, and suddenly suggested, “Sir, seeing how beautiful the lady beside you is, perhaps you should consider changing into something more fitting for yourself?”
Li Yundong considered it. Indeed, if Su Chan looked like a goddess, he couldn’t look like a beggar standing next to her.
He pondered for a moment and nodded. “Do you have menswear here?”
The sales associate now looked at Li Yundong as if he were a mobile gold ingot. She smiled warmly. “Our men’s section is on the east side of the store. Shall I help you select something?”
Li Yundong rarely bought clothes for himself and was happy to let someone else take the lead, so he readily agreed.
A short while later, the sales associate brought over a black suit.
Li Yundong took it and stepped into the fitting room. When he emerged, everyone’s eyes immediately lit up.
Li Yundong already possessed a strong, masculine aura that radiated intensity. Dressed in this impeccably tailored suit, he instantly appeared mature and composed. Standing next to Su Chan, they truly looked like a perfect match—a talented scholar and his beautiful companion, each enhancing the other.
Even Shen Hui, who was seething with resentment, froze momentarily, thinking to herself: He actually looks quite handsome in that! Wait—no, even dressed in a sharp suit, he’s still a hypocritical beast!
Li Yundong scrutinized his reflection closely. Su Chan stood beside him, beaming. He chuckled, “Hmm, a perfect pairing. My little lady suits me very well!”
Su Chan laughed proudly, “Of course!”
With that, they exchanged a look and burst into hearty laughter.
The sales associate and the front desk clerk couldn't help but suppress smiles, gazing at Su Chan with palpable envy.
Li Yundong turned to the sales associate. “Alright, what’s the total here? Can I use a card?” As he spoke, he took out his bank card, murmuring internally, This is going to cost me a fortune. How much could this be? At least over twenty thousand, right?
The front desk clerk quickly tallied the items and said with a smile, “Hello, your total charge comes to seventy-eight thousand, three hundred…”
Li Yundong’s hand trembled; the bank card almost slipped to the floor. “H-how much?”
The clerk continued calmly, “…The total is seventy-eight thousand, three hundred. After applying your discount, it comes to seventy thousand exactly.”
Li Yundong sucked in a sharp breath. Good heavens! The savings he had painstakingly accumulated over several years were wiped out in one purchase! He was facing a fiscal deficit, destined for bankruptcy!
What a joke!
Li Yundong gasped again. “That much?”
Shen Hui, seizing the rare opportunity to mock him, sneered, “Nonsense. That necklace alone must be over fifty thousand!”
Hearing this, Li Yundong instinctively wanted to return the necklace. But Shen Hui scoffed, “If you can’t afford it, don’t come to places like this. People like you belong in those cheap street markets!”
Li Yundong, being young, hot-tempered, and easily impulsive, immediately flew into a rage, his face turning crimson. “Who said I can’t afford it!” With that, he slapped the card onto the counter. “Charge it!”
Su Chan gently tugged at Li Yundong’s hand and whispered quietly, “I—I don’t want the necklace anymore. I really don’t. If we spend all our money like this, we won’t have anything left, will we?”
Li Yundong saw that while Su Chan sounded reasonable, her hand was lingering touchingly near the necklace around her throat. He smiled and said, “We bought the horse; why skimp on the saddle? It’s not like we can’t afford it!”
Li Yundong felt a sting in his heart. Truly, diamonds are forever—and one can bankrupt you forever!
Thank goodness this card allows for overdrafts, or I would have been completely humiliated today!
Su Chan bit her lip, still shaking her head. “No, we shouldn’t. If we have no money, we’ll end up homeless…”
Li Yundong’s momentary displeasure vanished. He laughed heartily and reached out to pat the young woman’s head, but then noticed her dark hair cascading sideways; touching it now would surely mess up the meticulous style. He instinctively retracted his hand, then swept it out dramatically, puffing his chest out with grandiose swagger. “It’s fine! As a man, I am willing to exhaust myself—ahem, I mean, be ruined for the sake of my lady!”
Li Yundong nearly let slip an expression unsuitable for children, but the adult female staff members understood perfectly and broke into amused giggles.
After Li Yundong finished paying, he and Su Chan strode out of the Chanel boutique like triumphant generals, carrying numerous large and small bags.
