Although he admired the fact that these people could come up with so many shenanigans, Chen Hao still chuckled bitterly in his heart, realizing that his period of leisure had significantly decreased his vigilance. It had been too long since his days of living on the edge, so much so that he didn't even notice he had been secretly photographed...
"Are you clear about it now?" Li Bingshuang looked coldly at Chen Hao, her proud face shimmering with a hint of pain.
"If you are a man, you should admit it and then sign this contract and marry me."
"Alright, Miss Li, I think we need to have a proper talk." By now, Chen Hao finally understood what Li Bingshuang had misunderstood. He looked at her, pondered for a while, then sat down and spoke.
Li Bingshuang did not respond, her face still wore that icy gaze, which completely reflected the frustration in her heart. If it weren't for the gravity of the situation, she would never seek out this scoundrel, let alone allow Chen Hao into her car.
Chen Hao cleared his throat and said sincerely, "Last night, you were drunk, and then you sought someone for a ride home, which turned out to be me. I drove you home, but on the way, you were already too drunk to speak coherently. I couldn't get your address out of you, so under the circumstances, I had no choice but to take you to a hotel to rest."
"As for what happened, heaven and earth are my witnesses, I did nothing, and I left after bringing you to the room. That's the truth. Miss Li, do you understand now?"
"Hmph, you think I would believe your lies?"
"It is the truth..."
"Then tell me, when I woke up in the morning, I wasn't wearing a single piece of clothing. Weren't my clothes taken off by you?"
"I did take them off, I admit, but I did it with my eyes closed, and I guarantee, I didn't see anything!"
"Chen Hao, you asshole!"
...Half an hour later, the car stopped on the bustling Gudao Street in Zhonghai.
Although this is a shopping paradise for the wealthy, it was still rare to see a limited edition Lamborghini like this.
So, naturally, Li Bingshuang and Chen Hao attracted the attention of the vast majority of people.
When they noticed that Li Bingshuang, who was absolutely a top-notch beauty in terms of both temperament and looks, was accompanied by a scruffy-looking Chen Hao in tattered work clothes, their sense of injustice was finally expressed.
"Damn, what kind of day is this, such a stunning beauty matched with such a sloppy man!"
"Alas, all the good cabbage has been hogged by pigs! A delicate and charming flower is indeed stuck in cow dung!"
"I think it's more like the cow dung stuck on the flower! It's simply unbearable to look at!"
"My God, this guy is from Xiao Ai Driving Service Company, look at the clothes he's wearing! Where is Xiao Ai Driving Service? I'm going to apply for a job right away!"
...
...
Li Bingshuang walked ahead without any expression, her high heels clacking on the ground, setting off a flurry of heartbeats among the hormonally charged men, while Chen Hao followed leisurely behind, completely ignoring the gazes from around him.
If looks could kill, Chen Hao would have probably died hundreds of times over by now.
On Gudao Street, the Gudao Building was naturally the most famous, and after Li Bingshuang entered, she headed straight for the top floor, arriving at the entrance of the Gucci Store.
The well-trained staff of the specialty store naturally greeted them with warm smiles, respectfully welcoming the pair inside.
Since Li Bingshuang was a VIP guest here, the staff all recognized her and naturally didn't miss a beat in terms of courtesy. The store manager had hurried over and personally led her into the store.
Once inside, Li Bingshuang gestured towards the neatly arranged array of clothes filling the store and said to Chen Hao, "Pick whatever you like, take anything that catches your fancy."
Chen Hao glanced around and said to her with a chuckle, "Miss Li, the items here are all very expensive, and I'm just an ordinary driver from Xiao Ai Driving Service Company. These things are not suitable for me. I think we should go to another store."
"I'm not asking you to pay, just pick out the clothes and I'll pay," Li Bingshuang said without even glancing at him, sounding annoyed.
"That's not appropriate," Chen Hao shook his head repeatedly. "Although I don't have much money on me, I am a fully capable man with both hands and feet. How can I let a woman buy clothes for me and pay for them? That would make me the laughing stock of others. Moreover, if you go too far, people might think I'm your kept man."
"Enough!" Li Bingshuang looked at him with disgust and stopped him from speaking further. She knew clearly, if she let this rascal go on, he could say anything, "I already told you, don't worry about the money, just pick the clothes."
Li Bingshuang naturally carried an air of authority from long being in a high position. Her angry shout frightened the nearby manager, who didn't dare to breathe a word, nodding and bowing his head, afraid to be caught up in the crossfire.
As for the store employees who had been around earlier, they quickly slipped away as if they had greased their feet.
Only a few passersby in the distance watched with interest, finding the scene quite novel, and even some began to take photos and videos with their phones.
After all, such a couple was extremely unusual to appear here, and people were speculating about their relationship.
"NO, NO, NO," Chen Hao didn't back down this time either, laughing he-he, "Miss Li, this is a matter of principle, I believe you understand."
Li Bingshuang found it strange; the man previously seemed to take any advantage he could, even haggling over 50 yuan, so why was he insisting on not taking free clothes now?
"Fine, do as you please. If you want to pay, pay yourself. Hurry up, I'll wait for you outside!" Seeing his persistent refusal, and with the situation in the store already attracting attention from everyone around, Li Bingshuang compromised for the sake of face.
"That's more like it." Seeing his success, Chen Hao smiled broadly, showing off a row of neat, white teeth, then waved at the manager, "You don't have to follow me; I can find my way on my own."
"Yes, yes, yes, as you wish…" The manager nodded repeatedly, wiping the sweat from his forehead, cautiously speaking.
Managing to subdue the previous guest, this man, despite looking harmless, was definitely nobody's fool. With years of social experience, the manager understood this well and made a quick bowing retreat.
Chen Hao surveyed the surroundings and then went further into the store, looking left and right, examining the choices with a serious demeanor.
Meanwhile, Li Bingshuang in the distance, watching Chen Hao's focused selection of clothes, turned her face away in annoyance.
About ten minutes later, Chen Hao burst out laughing, "Ha, found it!"
When everyone turned to look in the direction of his voice, they were met with silence so profound that even the drop of a pin would've been clearly audible!
Li Bingshuang couldn't help but turn back, and when she saw what was in Chen Hao's hand, her eyes widened!
Chen Hao was holding a pair of socks!
