"Miss, I'm sorry. Please be magnanimous and forgive me just this once." The saleslady had no choice but to apologize to Gao Xiaoxiao with a bitter expression.
Gao Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. Seeing that the other store employees were looking at her, she waved her hand and said, "It's alright, don't do this next time."
"Thank you, Miss. I will remember." The saleslady lowered her head, looking sincere.
"Let her try on your latest dresses, S size," said Han Zhen.
The saleslady looked up in disbelief and excitedly raised her voice by several decibels. "Alright, sir. Please wait a moment."
She knew that she had met a big customer today! Compared to sales, her apology was nothing.
Gao Xiaoxiao could not help but secretly sized up Han Zhen. She saw him standing there without any expression after saying that. The store lighting made his features seem more pronounced and his eyes colder. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and he exuded an aloof, dignified aura.
She wondered if he was still angry at her for calling him 'Young Master Han'. "Or is it something else?" she thought.
"Miss, these are the latest designs from our summer collection. Please try them on." The saleslady brought a few employees over and said to Gao Xiaoxiao with a beaming smile.
Gao Xiaoxiao immediately returned the smile. "Okay!"
"It would be a waste not to try on such expensive clothes!" she thought.
"Moreover, this feeling of using someone else to hold my head high is really satisfying!"

Gao Xiaoxiao was 1.65 meters tall. Due to her small frame, the S-sized clothes seemed to be custom-made for her. Every dress suited her well.
Han Zhen seemed to be very satisfied. His stern expression softened a little as he said in a low voice, "Give me all of these."
"Alright!"
"No!"
The saleslady and Gao Xiaoxiao shouted at the same time.
Gao Xiaoxiao tugged at her awkwardly. "Uh, don't… don't ring them up yet."
When she was trying them on just now, she had secretly looked at the labels. A casual dress cost a few thousand yuan. These few pieces added up to at least tens of thousands. She was just a junior assistant and had a four-year-old child to support at home. She really could not afford them!
"This…" The saleslady looked at Han Zhen helplessly.
Han Zhen's dark eyes narrowed slightly. Before he could speak…
"Young Master Han!" A gentle female voice suddenly came from the door.
Gao Xiaoxiao's temples twitched. "This voice… Gu Liqing?!" she wondered.
"Young Master Han, so it's really you. I thought I had the wrong person." Gu Liqing was wearing a red wrap skirt and a white lacy blouse with a deep V-neckline. Her provocative cleavage was vaguely visible. Her small face was covered in exquisite makeup, and she was smiling radiantly at Han Zhen.
Han Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "You are?"
Gu Liqing looked a little embarrassed. She blinked and pursed her lips. "Young Master Han, I'm Gu Liqing, the design director of Gu Corporation. Do you remember? I gave you my business card previously…"
Han Zhen raised his eyebrows, his attitude still indifferent. "Oh."
Not only was Gu Liqing embarrassed, but even Gao Xiaoxiao was surprised.
"He's the famous playboy, Young Master Han. He has never resisted beauties like her. Furthermore, it's Gu Liqing, who is well-educated and has a good family background. Why is his reaction so unusual today?" she thought.
But she was Gu Liqing after all. She quickly recovered her smile and said, "Young Master Han, are you here to shop for clothes today? What a coincidence. I also like this clothing brand. May I know who this lady is…"
