Snakel’s hairs stood on end after being laughed at by Gu Mengmeng. At a loss, he turned to look at his reflection, but couldn’t find anything wrong.
He frowned in disappointment.
Gu Mengmeng laughed for a long time without any intention of stopping. Snakel finally walked right up to her and pinched her cheek. He pulled her up towards him. “What are you laughing at?”
Snakel’s presence was very overbearing and Gu Mengmeng timidly stopped laughing.
With traces of a smile, she looked down and shook her head. “Nothing, nothing. Senior is very handsome. He looks handsome no matter what he wears… pfft…”
Snakel gritted his teeth. “Did you read the employee’s manual? Lying to me… what are the consequences?”
That evil clause…
Gu Mengmeng lifted her head and looked at Snakel. Thinking of how she could never afford the $450,000 compensation fee, she chose to be honest.
“Actually it’s not that funny. I just feel that… a pure white western suit makes one look like iconic figure.”
Snakel raced to recall which iconic figure wore a trademark white western suit. But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t think of any. He had no choice but to ask with one raised eyebrow, “Who?”
“Kentucky…” Gu Mengmeng started laughing as she said. She truly couldn’t control herself any longer and just rolled on the sofa with laughter.
“Gu Mengmeng!” Snakel called out her name in a curt manner.
Gu Mengmeng knew it wasn’t right of her to laugh at her boss like that, but she really couldn’t contain her laughter.
For the sake of her rice bowl, Gu Mengmeng tried to save the situation even as her lips kept curling up. “Senior, listen to me… even if you look like Kentucky, it was when he was young and at his prime… haha… yes, you are definitely the most handsome Kentucky… hahaha…”
If it was anyone else who dared to mock Snakel like that in front of him—that person would probably feel an oppressive rage so heavy that his bones would be ground to dust?
But somehow, faced with a laughing Gu Mengmeng, Snakel couldn’t find the tiniest trace of anger. In fact, he couldn’t help being influenced by her smile. His own lips curled up and his heart felt radiant.
Loosening his grip on Gu Mengmeng’s jaw, Snakel returned to the fitting room to change back to his original outfit.
After he came out, he told the saleslady, “For each of those outfits which I have just selected, pick ten matching ladies’ sets, all according to her measurements.”
Without waiting for the saleslady to reply, he left pulling Gu Mengmeng behind.
Gu Mengmeng looked befuddled. “Huh?”
Snakel had tried on over ten outfits. Ten matching ladies’ sets for each outfit. That would be more than a hundred new outfits.
Damn, such excessive extravagance!
The clothes here were so expensive that Gu Mengmeng would quiver for several days at the cost of just one outfit. Buying over a hundred sets? She couldn’t afford it even if she sold herself.
“I don’t want new clothes. You just buy them for yourself. Don’t buy for me. I don’t want it…”
Snakel paused and turned to look at Gu Mengmeng. “I have chosen all my clothes based on your preference. After putting in so much effort to please you, shouldn’t you repay me a little?”
“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng always felt that her IQ dropped whenever she conversed with Snakel. She completely failed to understand his meaning.
She raged inside: Speak in simple terms!
Snakel leaned in close to Gu Mengmeng, forcing her to plaster herself on the car door. He placed his arms on either side of her ears, restricting her to the limited space in front of his chest. His smile was faint but full of tenderness.
