The onlookers in line were getting a bit bored, but as soon as they turned their heads and saw him, they perked up immediately, practically gluing their eyes on him.
They even started whispering among themselves:
"Wow, did you see that? That guy looks really good..."
"Such a handsome man, absolutely stunning!"
"Could he be a celebrity?"
"No way, with that face and figure, he’d be a worldwide sensation if he were a star."
"Besides, what star goes shopping with his girlfriend, and did you see the car he got out of... I reckon he’s a wealthy businessman."
Some even started imagining: "Oh my, is this some domineering CEO taking his little wife out shopping?"
Yun Qiluo’s ears twitched beneath her hair, having heard all their comments.
She wondered: What does "domineering CEO’s little wife" even mean?
Before she could figure it out, she had already followed Yan Yan into the dessert shop, immediately captivated by the array of beautiful treats inside.
Taste House was indeed a place specializing in desserts; even the air was filled with a sweet fragrance.
The store manager, seeing Yan Yan, greeted him with a smile.
"Fifth Young Master, here to get some snacks?"
Yan Yan’s demeanor was extremely aloof, and after giving a slight nod, he turned to Yun Qiluo: "Brought her here to have a look."
The store manager was momentarily stunned but quickly understood.
With a smile as bright as a flower, he asked Yun Qiluo, "Miss, feel free to choose whatever you like."
Yun Qiluo glanced at Yan Yan, then swiftly picked several treats that looked delicious.
Within five minutes, they were out with their purchases, without having to wait in line at all.
As they walked out, Yun Qiluo was puzzled: "Why didn’t we have to queue?"
Yan Yan, seeing her clueless expression, couldn’t help the lazy curve that formed at his lips.
He said, "Because I invested in it."
Having watched some financial news with him for a while, Yun Qiluo already understood what investing meant.
Her eyes immediately lit up: "When did you do that?"
The man answered coolly, not intending to elaborate further on the subject.
If it weren’t for Yun Qiluo, who loved sweets, given Yan Yan’s personality, he might never have taken an interest in a dessert shop his entire life.
Outside, girls couldn’t help but gaze at Yun Qiluo with envy.
Of course, many more still had their eyes on Yan Yan.
Yun Qiluo noticed this, and immediately clung to Yan Yan’s arm, her small face showing traces of protectiveness.
Why is everyone staring at her beautiful man!
Can’t they talk about someone else? The handsome guy isn’t theirs!
Yan Yan felt that since getting out of the car, this little thing had been sticking to him closely, and there seemed to be a slight hint of anxiety.
Although he didn’t know the reason why a lazy smile still hung on his lips.
He reached out and patted her head as a form of reassurance.
Once inside the car, Yun Qiluo felt much better, quickly becoming cheerful again, holding onto her newly bought things and going through them one by one.
She didn’t even know which one to eat first.
Seeing this, Yan Yan casually picked out a box of egg tarts for her: "Have this."
Yun Qiluo’s eyes lit up: "Okay!"
Sure enough, it was a trending spot in the Imperial City, everything was delicious, and the Young Girl gleefully devoured the egg tart, getting crust all over her mouth.
In the end, Yan Yan couldn’t take it anymore and used a napkin to wipe her mouth.
He asked, "What do you want for dinner tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qiluo immediately perked up: "Can we eat out?"
