Chapter 437: Taking Advantage
Ye Chen glanced at the dazzling array of clothes and jewelry on the counter, inwardly clicking his tongue in amazement. True to its reputation as a major national mall, it was indeed lavish!
The value of these goods started from five to six million and upwards, with some even having stocks worth tens of millions.
"Sir, the Chanel suit your girlfriend is wearing was designed by the new designer Carolina. It's unique worldwide, and what's more, she is also a top-tier jewelry designer. Every piece of clothing she creates is an art piece!" the sales associate introduced.
"Hmm, not bad." Ye Chen nodded slightly.
This Chanel suit was a white silk blouse with blue short sleeves, paired with a black mini skirt—very stylish, and the price was not too expensive, only fifty thousand yuan.
Lin Yaru seemed eager to try it on, getting ready for a fitting.
However, upon seeing the price tag, Lin Yaru immediately abandoned the idea of shopping.
This dress was far too expensive!
Lin Yaru had never bought such a costly gift before.
"Ye Chen, you try it on instead." Lin Yaru turned to look at Ye Chen and softly suggested. She couldn't bear to see Ye Chen spend so much, and she also didn't want him to spend money, so she decided to have him try it on in her place.
Ye Chen sighed lightly, understanding Lin Yaru's kind intentions and said with a smile, "Since it's a gift from you, I will definitely like it!"
"Thank you," Lin Yaru said with a radiant smile.
Having said that, Ye Chen picked up the Chanel suit and walked into the fitting room to change his clothes.
With the sound of a click, Ye Chen walked out slowly.
Lin Yaru, seeing the handsome and dashing Ye Chen in the mirror, was stunned, her eyes wide with amazement, she exclaimed, "So handsome! So stylish!"
At this moment, in the mirror, Ye Chen looked exceptionally fresh and clean, his figure tall and straight, his eyebrows sharp and eyes bright, his nose high and proud, and a charming, faint smile on his lips, like a character straight out of a comic book.
"What's the matter, Dr. Lin? Staring at me like that?" teased Ye Chen.
Lin Yaru, looking at this outstanding young man, couldn't help feeling an intense sense of happiness.
Just having this man by her side made her completely satisfied.
However, all of this was temporary. Lin Yaru was very self-aware and knew Ye Chen's background was anything but simple.
With these thoughts, Lin Yaru felt a tinge of sadness, head down, tears silently streaming, her delicate body hidden under the loose long dress, trembling slightly.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?" Ye Chen asked with furrowed brows.
Hearing his words, Lin Yaru hurriedly looked up at Ye Chen and wiped the tears from her face, saying, "I'm fine, just feeling a bit emotional, and I think I'm a little tired."
"Is that so?" Ye Chen looked at Lin Yaru with a skeptical eye, wondering in his heart, has his charm diminished?
Not dwelling on it further, Ye Chen wrapped his arms around Lin Yaru's slender waist.
"Stop it! Why are you holding me? Let go!" Lin Yaru's cheeks flushed as she playfully pushed Ye Chen away.
"Hehe, aren't you tired? I'm just playing around with you for a while," Ye Chen said with a mischievous smile.
"You just love taking advantage of me!" Lin Yaru rolled her eyes, but then, she quieted down.
Throughout the journey, Ye Chen always seemed to find clothes that suited him, all selected with the help of Lin Yaru.
"Ye Chen, this casual outfit you seem to like also looks pretty good."
"It's okay."
"Then I'll buy it." Lin Yaru pursed her lips and smiled, then took out her bank card and handed it to the sales associate.
The sales associate handed the card back to Lin Yaru with an ambiguous smile, "Miss, I suggest you try on a set of clothes, you might have an unexpected effect."
"What kind of effect?" Lin Yaru asked curiously.
The sales associate leaned close to Lin Yaru's ear and whispered a few words.
"Ah?" Lin Yaru said upon hearing this, covering her cheeks shyly and complaining, "Who does that? No, I don't want it."
Although she said so, Lin Yaru couldn't help but glance at the casual outfit, her heartbeat quickening.
This outfit would definitely make her more attractive!
Noticing Lin Yaru's interest, the sales associate continued to persuade her, "Miss, I guarantee you'll absolutely love it!"
"Alright..." Lin Yaru eventually relented.
In the following minutes, the sales associate led Lin Yaru to a counter specializing in women's skincare products.
"Miss, what kind of skincare products do you need?" the sales associate asked.
Lin Yaru thought for a moment and said, "Give me a bottle of foundation and some facial oil."
"Okay! Please wait a moment!" The sales associate responded and turned around, returning shortly after with a box of skincare products.
After Lin Yaru took it, she sat down on a sofa and applied the foundation to her lovely face.
As Lin Yaru dabbed at it, the foundation gradually blended into her skin.
Subsequently, Lin Yaru's skin became more delicate, moist, and so tender it looked like it could be broken with a puff.
Lin Yaru felt a surge of surprise in her heart, she had become prettier and could hardly believe it.
"Hehe, my goddess is so beautiful!" Ye Chen stood by, admiring Lin Yaru's flawless face and sincerely praising it.
"Hehe." Lin Yaru's smile was blooming like flowers.
Soon, the sales associate brought over two white silk scarves and wrapped them around Lin Yaru.
Instantly, Lin Yaru exuded a faint scent that refreshed the mind and spirit!
"Ye Chen, do you think it looks good?" Lin Yaru stood up and asked with rosy cheeks.
"It looks good!" Ye Chen nodded.
Hearing this, Lin Yaru's face flushed even redder, bashful to the extreme.
"I want to buy it now," Ye Chen said warmly after looking at Lin Yaru.
"Okay..." Lin Yaru hesitated, then nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Ye Chen bought a suit, and Lin Yaru bought a dress.
After purchasing the clothing, the two browsed a few luxury brand counters and acquired an assortment of jewelry.
Lin Yaru's beauty caused the surrounding customers to look her way repeatedly, and many male customers were filled with envy, jealousy, and hate, giving Ye Chen thumbs-ups non-stop.
"Wow, this guy's got some luck, hooking up with such a stunning beauty!"
"Tsk tsk, with the way this girl is dressed, she's definitely not from an ordinary working-class background. Her family must be well-off!"
Many men looked at Lin Yaru, shaking their heads in private.
Lin Yaru and Ye Chen walked out of the shopping center holding hands, and just as they stepped out, they were blocked by a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The car window lowered, revealing Zhao Tianyang's grim face.
"Kid! I'll remember this, don't let me see you again! Otherwise, I will destroy you!" Zhao Tianyang snorted coldly, pressed on the gas, and sped away in the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
"Ye Chen, let's hurry up and go, don't mind him," Lin Yaru urged, pulling on Ye Chen's arm.
"Yeah, I know," Ye Chen nodded and pulled Lin Yaru away from there.
