Ling Chuxia was stunned for quite a while before she came to her senses. Looking at the man, she nodded lightly and said, "I just came out for a walk with a friend. Xiao Zhao, why are you here?"
Xiao Zhao was Shi Che’s assistant and had been by Shi Che’s side for over three years, always helping him handle various matters.
For some reason, Xiao Zhao suddenly looked a bit awkward, his eyes flickering as he hesitated for quite some time without answering Ling Chuxia’s question.
Ling Chuxia looked at Xiao Zhao with great confusion, her delicate eyebrows slowly knitting together.
Cheng Yuanyuan stood by, watching, and suddenly let out a chuckle. Then she said to Ling Chuxia, "It seems like someone wanted to surprise you, but accidentally bumped into you instead."
Ling Chuxia was already puzzled, and hearing Cheng Yuanyuan’s words, she was even more baffled. She stared at Cheng Yuanyuan in a daze, her brows furrowing tighter. "Miss Cheng, what does this mean?"
Cheng Yuanyuan replied with a smile, "Weren’t you curious about who ordered the clothes? The clothes were ordered by Young Master Shi, your husband. It was definitely meant to surprise you. Unfortunately, it got revealed early."
The clothes were ordered by Shi Che, so Cheng Yuanyuan naturally assumed that they were meant for Shi Che’s wife, Ling Chuxia, and she casually mentioned it.
Ling Chuxia, however, suddenly froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.
The clothes were indeed ordered by Shi Che... and Shi Che meant to surprise her? No matter how she thought about it, it seemed impossible.
Cheng Yuanyuan wasn’t aware of what Ling Chuxia was thinking and turned around, picking up the clothes. She continued, "Since you’re here, why don’t you try them on and see if they fit? I can make any alterations right away, so you won’t be delayed for tonight’s banquet."
With that, she walked over and attempted to pull Ling Chuxia to try on the clothes.
Ling Chuxia was so stunned by Cheng Yuanyuan’s earlier words that she couldn’t react in time, allowing Cheng Yuanyuan to lead her away in a daze.
Xiao Zhao watched as Cheng Yuanyuan and Ling Chuxia headed to the fitting room, a hint of urgency appearing in his expression.
The clothes were indeed ordered by President Shi, but... President Shi wasn’t ordering them for Young Madam. Now it was misunderstood, and if Young Madam tried them on only to realize they weren’t for her, how awkward would that be?
Xiao Zhao had no choice but to clench his fists and reluctantly spoke up, "Wait."
Cheng Yuanyuan and Ling Chuxia both stopped in their tracks, and the three women present turned their gazes directly to Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao clenched his hand even tighter, swallowing hard to control his voice before speaking word by word, "Young Madam, I’m sorry, but those clothes... President Shi didn’t intend them for you."
