It had to be said, Zhao Qingling’s driving skills were truly impressive. The kind of female driver who panicked the moment she got on the road and accidentally switched on the windshield wipers while turning simply did not exist in Zhao Qingling.
They sped along the road, and in just over twenty minutes, the two arrived at their destination.
It was clearly a high-end shopping mall in Nancheng.
The grand hall gleamed with gold and crystal light, dazzling and brilliant. Everything about it revealed luxury and refinement.
Zhao Qingling was obviously a regular here. After bringing Lin Feng inside, she headed straight to the second floor and finally stopped in front of a clothing boutique.
“Well, this is the place,” Zhao Qingling said, glancing at Lin Feng behind her as she pointed at the sign above the entrance. “This shop is considered the best in all of Nancheng. All the clothes they sell are custom-made according to the client’s requirements. Of course, the prices are not cheap.”
She snorted lightly and added, “But let’s make this clear first. I brought you here to buy clothes, but I’m not paying for you! If you don’t have money later, don’t come looking at me!”
“Of course. When going out shopping, how could a man let a lady pay?” Lin Feng touched his nose and smiled. “I may not be rich, but I can afford a set of clothes.”
Even if the clothes in this store were outrageously expensive, Lin Feng truly did not care. In his pocket was the Supreme Black Card his master had given him when he came down the mountain. Not to mention buying a suit, he could probably buy the entire shop without any difficulty.
“You’re still smiling? Do you think this place sells street stall goods that cost a few hundred yuan?” Zhao Qingling muttered inwardly as she pushed the door open. “Let’s see how you cry later.”
The moment they entered, a female sales assistant in professional attire walked over.
She clearly recognized Zhao Qingling and immediately revealed a warm smile. “Miss Zhao, welcome. What style are you looking for today?”
“It’s not for me today. It’s for the gentleman beside me,” Zhao Qingling said, waving her hand and pointing at Lin Feng. “You can ask him about the specific requirements.”
The sales assistant blinked and looked at Lin Feng in surprise. When they had entered, she had assumed he was Zhao Qingling’s bodyguard. Now it seemed she had been mistaken. What kind of employer bought clothes for her bodyguard? Get faster updates on g.com.
Could it be that this man was Miss Zhao’s boyfriend? If that were true, it would be big news in Nancheng.
Zhao Qingling was a regular customer of their store, but she had never brought a male companion before.
While secretly guessing at their relationship, the sales assistant maintained her smile. “Sir, may I ask your surname? It seems this is your first time here. All our clothing is custom-made according to the client’s preferences.”
“My surname is Lin,” Lin Feng said with a faint smile. “As for the requirements… keep it simple.”
“A minimalist style? Very well.” The sales assistant nodded and gestured politely. “Mr. Lin, please follow me. A specialist will take your measurements next.”
Watching Lin Feng enter the fitting room at the side, Zhao Qingling curled her lips slightly and casually found a chair to sit down.
At that moment, a voice filled with surprise suddenly sounded from outside the shop.
“Qingling? What are you doing here? What a coincidence!”
Along with the voice, a tall man with somewhat delicate features walked in from outside.
He was clearly familiar with Zhao Qingling. He strode over and placed a hand on her shoulder, smiling as he said, “I came to check on the new shop location I selected today. I didn’t expect to run into you. Isn’t this fate? By the way, how is Grandpa’s health?”
“Sun Shaohong, I’ve told you many times, don’t call me Qingling like that. Please use my full name, Zhao Qingling,” Zhao Qingling said as she stepped back and shook off his hand. A trace of barely concealed disgust flashed across her eyes. “And don’t call him Grandpa so casually. He is my grandfather and has nothing to do with you.”
“Qingling, our two families are old family friends. Isn’t your grandfather also my grandfather?” Sun Shaohong said, clearly not bothered by her attitude. He glanced at his watch and smiled. “Look, it’s already mealtime. Since we ran into each other today, why don’t we have a meal together?”
“I’m not interested in eating with you,” Zhao Qingling replied without hesitation. “Besides, I’m waiting for a friend.”
Even though she had clearly refused, Sun Shaohong had no intention of giving up. He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and began pulling her toward the door without explanation. “I’ve met your friends before. What’s there to wait for? At worst, just ask the staff here to inform him.” Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
“Let go of me!” Zhao Qingling snapped as she struggled.
But as a woman, how could she compare in strength to Sun Shaohong? Amid the pulling, she was dragged step by step toward the entrance.
At that moment, a calm voice sounded from behind them.
“If she doesn’t want to go, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for a grown man to keep pestering her like this?”
Lin Feng, who had just finished having his measurements taken, walked out from the fitting room.
He did not know what relationship this man had with Zhao Qingling, but he was not blind. He could clearly see Zhao Qingling’s resistance.
As a man, Lin Feng could not pretend he had seen nothing and stand by idly, especially when his current identity was Zhao Qingling’s fiancé.
Startled by the sudden voice, Sun Shaohong instinctively released his grip. His expression darkened immediately, making his already delicate features seem even more sinister.
He glared at Lin Feng and said coldly, “Who are you? Is this any place for you to interrupt?”
“Me?” Lin Feng spread his hands with a smile. “I’m Zhao Qingling’s fiancé. If you want to take her away, shouldn’t you at least ask for my opinion?”
“Fiancé?” Sun Shaohong froze.
The Sun Family and the Zhao Family were old family friends and had multiple business collaborations. Since when did Zhao Qingling have a fiancé? How did he not know?
“Kid, are you looking for death? What nonsense are you spouting?” Sun Shaohong clearly did not believe him and took Lin Feng for some fool trying to play the hero. “What are you? You think you’re worthy of being Qingling’s fiancé? Get as far away as you can while I’m still in a decent mood. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in Nancheng!”
Lin Feng paid no attention to his threat. He simply shrugged and turned to look at Zhao Qingling.
“I said I’m your fiancé, but he doesn’t believe me. How about you prove it?”
