City Center Mall, a certain luxury store.
Bao Cheng held Jiang Keke's hand and walked ahead. As soon as they entered, a well-groomed shop assistant approached Bao Cheng, "Young Master Bao."
Bao Cheng didn't even lift an eyelid and commanded, "Take them to pick out an outfit."
Jiang Keke entered the store and only then realized what Bao Cheng's earlier mention of "compensation" meant.
Turns out it was to take them shopping for clothes?
Looking at the store, with every item exuding elegance and luxury, Jiang Keke was both thrilled and a bit uneasy.
"Okay." The shop assistant nodded respectfully toward Bao Cheng, then politely said to Jiang Keke and An Yin, "Please follow me, ladies."
Jiang Keke's cheeks turned slightly red. She smiled at Bao Cheng and then stepped forward.
An Yin watched this, stunned, muttering, "I don't need anything."
Before Bao Cheng could respond, Jiang Keke quickly grabbed her hand, "How can you say that? Look, your clothes are so wet, come on..."
"The store has air conditioning, I'll stand by the warm air vent for a bit, and it'll dry quickly." An Yin quickly retorted.
An Yin looked determined, leaving Jiang Keke at a loss, so she turned to Bao Cheng, "Look at her..."
Jiang Keke's voice was sweet and delicate, sounding quite enchanting to Bao Cheng.
"An Yin, it's just an outfit, go pick one." Bao Cheng said straightforwardly.
An Yin stifled her discomfort and forced a smile, "Really, I don't need anything, Keke you go ahead and pick."
An Yin appeared to have a gentle nature but was very firm in her principles.
Jiang Keke feared that continuing to push might backfire, so with a dejected "oh," she quickly followed the shop assistant to choose clothes.
An Yin found a warm spot and fussed over her wet areas.
Bao Cheng at some point had leisurely strolled to a sofa and sat down, playing with his phone.
In no time, Jiang Keke appeared in front of Bao Cheng, wearing a pink spaghetti strap mini dress, with her head down, stepping hesitantly.
"A Cheng, how do you find this dress?" she asked, full of charm.
Bao Cheng was gaming when the soft voice suddenly reached him. He quickly lifted his head, his gaze immediately becoming complicated.
Until Jiang Keke urged him, Bao Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed, calming the restlessness within him. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Good, it looks good."
Receiving his affirmation made Jiang Keke overjoyed inside. She hesitated and continued, "There're a few more, I'll try them on for you. Help me choose the most beautiful one." With that, Jiang Keke turned and walked away.
Bao Cheng stared at her graceful silhouette, his eyes filled with intense emotion.
More than half an hour later, Bao Cheng bought all the clothes Jiang Keke tried on.
When they walked out of the mall, Jiang Keke was still muttering, "A Cheng, you bought too much."
Bao Cheng put an arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer, and whispered, "Tonight, show me one by one..." His voice was low, meant only for them to hear.
Jiang Keke's face gradually turned red, "A- A Cheng, how can you be so naughty..." With that, she broke free and quickly ran to An Yin's side, trying to act nonchalantly.
An Yin tried to ignore their flirting. She refrained from commenting on her friend's relationship with Bao Cheng since it was their private matter. Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
However, the occasional roguishness of Bao Cheng made An Yin quite uncomfortable, words she dared not share with Jiang Keke.
She could tell Jiang Keke liked him a lot.
An Yin hoped that Bao Cheng would take Jiang Keke seriously!
Once the three were back in the car, Jiang Keke couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"
"You'll find out soon," Bao Cheng said, driving while keeping it mysterious.
Jiang Keke grunted a few times and stopped asking, chatting with An Yin instead, even though most of the time, it was Jiang Keke talking and An Yin seemed distracted.
Jiang Keke noticed this, "We rarely get to hang out, don't overthink it. Aunt Ann will take good care of herself."
"Hmm." An Yin nodded.
Jiang Keke knew An Yin had been worried about Aunt An, so she tried to comfort her with a few more words.
An Yin's gloomy mood improved significantly.
Bao Cheng's car stopped in the City Center, surrounded by towering buildings, all seemingly money pits.
Soon a valet came over to park Bao Cheng's car.
"Come on, let me show you the new club I opened," Bao Cheng turned, looking proud, with a hint of pride in his voice.
Jiang Keke's eyes lit up, "Is it a bar?"
"It's sort of a bar." Bao Cheng nodded, wrapping an arm around his girlfriend's waist, leading her toward the bar, "I opened it on my birthday for good luck. Come on, let me show you around."
Jiang Keke let him hold her waist for a few steps before noticing her friend hadn't followed.
"Yinyin..." Jiang Keke turned, urging her friend, "Let's go."
"I..." Meeting Jiang Keke's bright gaze, An Yin didn't want to dampen her spirits, especially since it was Bao Cheng's birthday, "Mm."
An Yin nodded and followed behind them.
Jiang Keke glanced at the club's name and didn't comment.
However, An Yin mumbled, with a slight smile, that the name rather suited this rich young master's style.
Bao Cheng's newly opened club was lavish, with all sorts of food, drinks, and entertainment, a high-end consumer spot, an elegant venue for elite enjoyment.
As An Yin stepped into the club, her eyes couldn't help but wander, taking in her surroundings.
Standing on soft, plush expensive carpets, with every décor piece, the wall paintings, and various entertainment bars, An Yin felt astounded and couldn't help but sigh at the stark differences between people.
As Bao Cheng entered the main door, the club manager quickly came up to greet him, leading them to a VIP room, before tactfully retreating.
The room was spacious, and as soon as they stepped inside, there was a chorus of hoots.
"Yo, yo, our Young Master Bao ignored us to fetch his lady."
"You traitor in love..."
"Down three glasses as punishment, hurry up."
With the lights flashing inside, a dozen men and women inside cheering one after another.
Seeing this, Bao Cheng turned and said to the two behind him, "You guys sit for a while. They're a bit wild; don't get scared. I'll be back soon." With that, Bao Cheng left, and a waiter quickly approached.
"Get them something to eat," Bao Cheng instructed the waiter.
"Yes, Young Master Bao," the waiter replied with a smile.
Then Bao Cheng stepped away.
The waiter led them to a more secluded corner.
