Su Chen personally taking the secretary out to buy clothes did seem like he was lowering his status a little. But since Su Chen said it was fine, Bai Zihang didn’t object at all. By now, Bai Zihang had adopted a “whatever Brother Chen says goes” kind of mindset—completely forgetting that just a few days ago, Su Chen was merely his little follower.
Now, their roles had completely reversed.
With that, both of them turned their gazes toward Yan Ruyue.
Yan Ruyue’s face instantly showed a (ΩДΩ) kind of expression.
About half an hour later, Su Chen drove the Lamborghini Gallardo that he had borrowed from Bai Zihang, taking Yan Ruyue straight to the city’s bustling commercial street.
Yan Ruyue was silent the entire way, but her heart was anything but calm.
Because the man next to her was just…!
[This girl Yan Ruyue is seriously getting more and more beautiful—the kind that looks like she stepped straight out of an anime!]
[If she did cosplay, would Kamisato Ayaka suit her best, or maybe Yae Miko? Raiden Shogun wouldn’t be bad either… or Ganyu?!]
[Emmm… her petite figure has this sweet first-love freshness. Absolutely irresistible.]
[Can’t deny it, she’s got a completely different aura from Bai Gucheng, but girls like Yan Ruyue… they’re probably heart-stealers for boys.]
Even while driving, Su Chen’s inner thoughts kept flowing non-stop!
At first, Yan Ruyue was shy, but by the end she had grown a little numb to it.
No one had ever commented on her appearance since she was a child.
As a killer, the most important thing had always been practicality.
Her wardrobe consisted of ten sets of the exact same clothes and shoes. She never even changed the colors.
But now, for the first time ever, a man was praising her non-stop.
He even said those plain clothes didn’t deserve to be worn by someone with her looks.
That stirred the girlish heart she thought had been long buried.
She could feel Su Chen’s words were genuine, which made her even more bashful.
At the same time, her curiosity about this handsome man grew.
Why was his relationship with Bai Zihang so strange? They didn’t seem like master and servant at all. In fact, Su Chen seemed more like Bai Zihang’s big brother.
Also, why would he take a complete stranger like her out to buy clothes?
What exactly was he thinking? She wanted to crack open his head and take a peek.
Su Chen had no idea that Yan Ruyue was starting to entertain such dangerous thoughts.
If he had, he would’ve definitely punished her with a small leather whip on the spot.
Seeing the view through the car window, Yan Ruyue was stunned.
“This… This doesn’t look like Chenghua Commercial Street, does it?” she asked in shock, completely baffled by the dazzling scene before her. It looked nothing like what she remembered.
She had always bought her clothes from the most affordable and down-to-earth Chenghua Commercial Street in the city center.
The clothes there were cheap and of decent quality… though their designs and styles—well, those who know, know.
Hearing her words, Su Chen was instantly speechless.
“Chenghua Commercial Street? That place next to Chenghua Avenue?” he asked, face darkening.
Yan Ruyue nodded honestly.
Su Chen gave her a sharp look, “What century are you living in? Don’t tell me…”
Looking at Yan Ruyue’s plain outfit, Su Chen paused for a second.
Then something hit him, and with disbelief he asked, “Be honest—when was the last time you went out to buy clothes?”
“Buy clothes?” Yan Ruyue paused, trying to recall.
Clothes had never been a priority for her. After thinking a bit, she hesitantly replied, “Maybe… three… or four years ago?”
Su Chen nearly spat blood on the spot.
Good lord! A modern girl only buying clothes once every three to four years?!
What the hell—was she a cavewoman?!
And with her figure and looks, she didn’t even bother to dress up?
This was a crime—a waste of god-tier beauty!
Yes! He had to take responsibility and give her a proper makeover.
At the very least, he had to make up for three years’ worth of clothes all at once!
Hearing Su Chen’s inner complaints, Yan Ruyue’s face turned red.
She had no close female friends, no social circle.
And as for online shopping? She couldn’t make sense of it.
So every time she went shopping, she’d always feel awkward and lost.
Eventually, the store clerks would get too enthusiastic, and she couldn’t handle it—so she’d flee in panic.
That’s why Su Chen bringing her out to shop today was one of the few times in her life she’d experienced something like this.
Let alone the fact that she was accompanied by a stranger.
Looking at her expression, Su Chen could tell this girl clearly had no talent for fashion.
Just then, a voice rang in his mind.
[Detected that the host is initiating Yan Ruyue’s subplot—granting Perfect Outfit Mastery Ability!]
Huh?! The system was actually being considerate!
Even the system couldn’t stand Yan Ruyue’s fashion sense anymore. It was clearly urging him to take charge and dress her properly.
With that, Su Chen led her into the most luxurious shopping mall nearby.
Luxury clothing brands were everywhere here.
To use an analogy—shopping malls were like martial arts sects in the Jianghu, and the competition between brands was like swords clashing.
And the Zhenlong Plaza they entered was the strongest among them all!
Inside, there were high-end products ranging from necklaces, jewelry, and watches to imported earrings, rings, and even hand-blessed prayer beads crafted by renowned masters.
Basically—if you could think of it, they had it.
The service was also top-notch. The moment Su Chen and Yan Ruyue stepped inside, a pretty greeter at the door opened it for them.
Then, a young woman in a qipao strode over with long legs and a perfect smile.
“Welcome to Zhenlong Plaza. May I assist you with anything today?”
Though not many people usually came to places like this, the staff were always on standby.
Su Chen looked at the qipao girl and gave a calm smile.
“I’m buying clothes for her. Do you have any recommendations?”
