When Yan Ruyue heard Su Chen’s dozens of compliments running through his inner thoughts within a minute, her face flushed bright red.
Tony, the shop owner, also gasped when he saw the clothes Su Chen had picked for Yan Ruyue.
Woah, good grief, isn’t this guy the real professional here?
Tony couldn’t associate the energetic and beautiful girl before him with the rustic village girl who had been standing next to Su Chen just a moment ago. If it weren’t for the fact that Yan Ruyue had been with Su Chen all along, Tony would have thought Su Chen switched companions halfway through.
Under Su Chen’s intense gaze, Yan Ruyue became a little embarrassed and whispered softly, “Is it… is this outfit not suitable for me?”
Hearing this, Su Chen immediately waved his hand, “That’s absolutely not true! It suits you perfectly! It couldn’t be more perfect! If anyone dares to say it doesn’t fit, I’ll give them a punch the size of a sandbag.”
While speaking, he pulled out his Banana 18plus smartphone from his jacket pocket, switched to the high-definition camera, and began snapping pictures of Yan Ruyue rapidly.
“Ruyue, come on, let’s change the pose.”
“Yes, that’s it, look at the camera, give me a smile! Hehe, perfect!”
Su Chen beamed as he looked at the dozens of photos on his phone, completely satisfied before putting it away.
Tony, standing at the side, spoke with a sigh, “I really didn’t expect it, little handsome guy, you’re actually this good at styling. Have you studied it?”
Su Chen looked at Tony in shock and said something outrageous, “Huh? You need to study this kind of thing? Isn’t it something you’re just naturally good at?”
Classic Versailles bragging. Tony felt defeated hearing this but, being professionally trained, he managed to keep his emotions hidden.
At that moment, a couple appeared at the entrance of the store. Tony immediately took the chance to change the subject, “You two take your time picking out clothes. I’ll go greet the customers over there.”
After saying that, Tony quickly slipped away like he was stepping on oil. Watching Tony’s back, one could practically feel his frustration and dejection — he must have taken quite a hit from Su Chen.
Su Chen smirked secretly, wondering if he had gone too far. He turned his head and looked at Yan Ruyue standing obediently by his side.
Yan Ruyue responded with a dazed hum. Thus, Su Chen’s real-life version of the dress-up game began.
While Su Chen was busy picking out new outfits for Yan Ruyue, Tony was having a headache dealing with the new customers.
This couple was clearly quite wealthy. The man was a slightly overweight middle-aged man with decent looks — he must have been a handsome uncle when he was younger. The woman, however, was much younger, likely not even thirty. She was stunningly beautiful and full of charm.
While picking out clothes, the woman kept asking the man for his opinion. However, while the man was good at managing a company, picking clothes was clearly out of his league.
Before long, the man was sweating bullets from being questioned. The woman quickly became unhappy.
“Every time we go shopping, you’re like this. If you don’t like coming out with me, just say so beforehand!”
Hearing this, the man forced a bitter smile. Reasoning with an angry woman was asking for trouble.
“Come on, babe, how could I not want to go shopping with you? I’m your wallet and handbag!”
The woman snorted but seemed somewhat appeased. However, she crossed her arms and said, “Fine, tell me then, what’s my favorite color for clothes?”
The middle-aged man frowned deeply, hesitating, “Blue…? No, red? I remember the gown at home is red, isn’t it?”
“Huh? How can a gown be compared to everyday clothes? Are you dumb?”
“Er… okay, maybe green?”
The woman: “?”
Realizing she wasn’t getting anything useful, the woman sighed, “Forget it, asking you is pointless. You don’t even know what color I like.”
Then she held up a dress in front of her and asked again, “Just tell me, how do you think this looks?”
This time, the man saw a way out and blurted without thinking, “It looks great! Absolutely stunning! Mainly because you’re beautiful — anything you wear looks good!”
“Oh? Then tell me what exactly looks good about it.”
The man paused for a second, “I think everything looks good.”
The woman’s expression changed noticeably, “Don’t brush me off. Tell me the truth — do you actually think it doesn’t look good?” Get faster updates on g.com.
Noticing the subtle change in her expression, the man hesitated, then cautiously said, “Honestly… maybe this outfit doesn’t look as good as the one you’re wearing right now?”
As soon as he said that, the woman’s eyes turned sharp like knives, freezing him on the spot.
“So, you think this outfit is ugly, but you lied to me earlier?”
The man was now in deep trouble, “No, babe, let me explain. It’s because of the clothes! Yes, it’s the clothes — the clothes don’t suit you!”
The woman’s expression darkened, teetering on the edge of an outburst, “Are you saying… my looks aren’t good enough for this dress?”
“Pfft!! When did I ever say that? Babe, stop messing around!”
Tony hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, “Ahem, Miss, I also think this dress doesn’t suit you. Please trust me, I’m a professional.”
But the woman, still fuming, turned her sharp gaze on Tony.
“Oh? So from a professional point of view, you’re saying my figure isn’t good enough for this dress?”
Tony froze. There was no good way to respond to that — anything he said would offend her. If he answered, she might storm out and leave them a terrible review and a complaint.
At that awkward moment, a magnetic voice came from behind the three of them.
“I think what this big brother and Tony mean is that this dress doesn’t deserve you, beautiful lady.”
All three turned their heads toward the voice — it was Su Chen!
Su Chen’s words were much more polished. He hit the core issue directly: it wasn’t that she wasn’t good enough for the dress — it was that the dress wasn’t good enough for her!
This subtle shift in wording made all the difference.
Hearing Su Chen’s words and seeing his tall and handsome appearance, the woman quietly accepted his compliment. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
“Hmph, this handsome young man really knows how to talk.”
