Chapter 23
Going Shopping
Seeing this, Ming Liuyi recalled Original Ming Liuyi’s cabinet of brightly colored clothes that looked like a dye palette. It was too difficult for her to choose a suitable piece of clothing from the among the selections, so she might as well take this opportunity to shop.
Ming Liuyi thought for a while before she asked Lingling if she had time.
Lingling was very happy. She thought that the foundation did not care about appearances, but on second thought, she figured that this young lady must have come from a very well-to-do family. Rich people often went shopping for clothes, whether they needed them or not. So, Lingling did not refuse her. The two of them agreed to meet at Panda mall at two o’clock in the afternoon.
Ming Liuyi had already packed up and was ready to head out. Just from her speed, it could be seen that Ming Liuyi really wanted to go out for a breath of fresh air.
The driver knew that Ming Liuyi was going to Panda Mall, so he asked, “Madam, Panda Mall is owned by the Yao family. Do you need us to clear out the area?”
Ming Liuyi was stunned for a moment, then she quickly said, “No need, I’m just going for a casual stroll.” If everyone was cleared out of the mall, how was she to learn anything about this world?
The driver did not say much and sent them to the main entrance of Panda mall.
Ming Liuyi got off the car and walked in happily.
In order to avoid any mistakes, the driver quickly notified the manager of Panda Mall.
Panda Mall was one of the Yao family’s businesses, and the prices there were relatively reasonable. Original Ming Liuyi had never been here before, she had particularly extravagant spending habits. Although she had not wanted to marry Yao Zizhou, she shamelessly indulged in the benefits of being the Yao family’s madam. Once, because the manager of the mall was not notified in advance to give her a proper reception, she ended up making a huge fuss.
Today, the madam did not ask for the mall to be cleared out, nor did she ask for any reception. She did not even bring any bodyguards to help carry her shopping bags, which made the driver very uneasy.
When the manager of Panda Mall received the news, he was even more shocked. He quickly informed the protocol officers to arrange for two people to receive the madam.
When the two tallest and most handsome men from the protocol office appeared in front of Ming Liuyi, she was startled.
“Madam, we’ll be the ones to receive you today.”
Ming Liuyi quickly looked around to make sure that no one was looking in her direction. She let out a sigh of relief and then quickly said, “I already said there’s no need to receive me. You guys, hurry back. Don’t disturb me. I’ll walk around by myself, but don’t tell anyone that I’m here.”
When the two handsome young men heard this, they obeyed and left.
As soon as the two men left, Lingling showed up. She was wearing a lightweight sports outfit and followed Ming Liuyi’s directions to the rendezvous point. She saw a woman next to the mascot of Panda Mall and asked with uncertainty, “Are you Ming Liuyi? I’m You Lingling.”
“It’s me. You’re finally here, Lingling.” When Ming Liuyi heard this, she instantly brightened up at seeing the cheerful lady before her.
“Wow, Liuyi, you’re so pretty. I just saw two handsome guys hitting on you…” You Lingling gazed at the beautiful fairy in front of her, and her eyes gleamed. After all, who would be unmoved at seeing an attractive person?
Ming Liuyi touched her nose awkwardly. She did not expect that You Lingling would catch sight of her at that time, but it was fine if she misunderstood. After all, the identity of a beautiful woman was easier than the identity of the Yao family’s madam.
You Lingling acted as if they have known each other for years, and clutched Ming Liuyi’s arm straightaway. “Let’s go then. I haven’t gone shopping in a long time. Let’s go!”
Ming Liuyi was also all smiles, letting You Lingling lead her into the mall.
In the end, the two of them spent more than three hours shopping, and their hands were soon laden with shopping bags.
Ming Liuyi was also very happy. “Lingling, thank you so much for today. How about I treat you to dinner?”
“No,” You Lingling firmly declined. Then, afraid that Ming Liuyi would misunderstand, she quickly explained, “I have to take care of my fiancé for tonight’s dinner. I feel uneasy if I don’t watch his meals for even a day. Let’s meet another day.”
Ming Liuyi seemed affected by You Lingling’s mood, and likewise, began to worry about Yao Zizhou. Although she had given Xiao Fan instructions before she left, she was still worried that Xiao Fan might make a mistake.
The two of them had similar family situations, so there was no need to say much. They could understand each other, which also strengthened their friendship.
You Lingling was reluctant to go back so soon, so she led Ming Liuyi to buy a lot of skin care products. “This men’s lotion is especially suitable for my fiancé. Oh right, what’s your husband’s skin type? Mine has oily skin.”
‘What kind of skin does Yao Zizhou have?’ Ming Liuyi thought for a moment. She had not seen his face get oily, or dry. Ming Liuyi was a little uncertain.
“Don’t tell me you don’t even know what your husband’s skin is like?” You Lingling asked in surprise.
