Jian Shichu dragged Ye Qingci to change clothes.
Upon opening the wardrobe room connected to the bedroom, designed exclusively for Jian Shichu's use, Ye Qingci found that the outrageously large wardrobe room had, at some unknown point, been split into two distinct territories.
Half of it was men's clothing and the other half women's; the room was filled with countless clothes, shoes, and jewelry, so exaggerated it resembled a mini-mall.
"Choose whatever you like yourself!" With lightning speed, Jian Shichu changed into a set of casual clothes and when he emerged from the changing room, Ye Qingci had also finished changing.
Jian Shichu's eyes lit up.
It must have been fate; they had both chosen clothes of similar colors.
Jian Shichu donned a silver-gray casual outfit, while Ye Qingci, with silver-gray casual pants and a yellow casual top, the cuffs of which sported a wide silver-gray band from the same color family, looked at first glance like they were wearing a couple's outfit.
Jian Shichu glanced at Ye Qingci a few times and laughed proudly, "As expected of my woman, Jian Shichu's! Not only are you beautiful, but you also have superb taste!"
Ye Qingci: "...". She really must be the most, most, most unlucky person in the whole world!
To casually pick out clothes and end up in a couple's outfit with that devil Jian Shichu, could there be anyone more jinxed than her?
Jian Shichu stretched out an arm, proudly placing it around Ye Qingci's shoulders, "Let's go! Let's go shopping!"
Outside the living room, Xiao Ying and Xiao Wei were already ready to go.
Seeing the two walk out side by side, Xiao Wei's eyes went wide. He nudged Xiao Ying, "Boss, our young master's taste is truly lethal. Miss Ye is so pretty; she doesn't get overshadowed by our young master's good looks at all!"
People from the Jian family, not only rich and powerful but also blessed with beauty.
Everyone knew that Jian Shichu was the most handsome man in Yun City and even the entire Empire Country, it was just that no one dared to say it out loud.
Jian Shichu hated it when people mentioned how good-looking he was.
He detested those who drooled over him with infatuated stares, their eyes glued to him. After looking their fill, they would then clutch their hearts, pretending to faint, and shriek, "So handsome, so charming, I'm about to faint!"
Usually, if such women didn't actually faint, they would be knocked out by the Jian family's bodyguards.
All the women who stood beside Jian Shichu would have their splendor stolen away by his overwhelming good looks.
The beauty and charisma of Jian Shichu would shine like the sun's rays, eclipsing the radiance of any woman who stood by his side.
Only Ye Qingci, standing beside Jian Shichu, made one think of just four words: they complemented each other perfectly!
Neither her figure, her facial features, nor her temperament were in any way diminished by Jian Shichu.
Instead, his nobility and domineering aura made her appear even more graceful and dignified.
Xiao Ying only glanced once before averting his eyes, glancing at Xiao Wei coolly, "Still looking? Be careful, or the young master will gouge out your eyes and pull out your tongue!"
Xiao Wei shrank his neck and withdrew his gaze, carefully not making a sound.
Those around Jian Shichu were often scolded harshly by him.
But Xiao Ying had never been scolded or punished.
In the Jian family, this was a miracle more miraculous than a rooster laying eggs.
You had to know that Jian Shichu was a man who was bad-tempered enough to curse and smash things even in front of his own father,
let alone in front of these subordinates who attended him round-the-clock.
A single misstep could lead to a scolding that would make them forget their own mothers.
But Xiao Ying had the knack of never having been scolded a single time.
Xiao Wei had only one word for his boss: respect!
When Jian Shichu and Ye Qingci approached, Xiao Ying and Xiao Wei opened the car doors for them, one on each side.
Before getting into the car, Jian Shichu nonchalantly ordered, "Take a few more people and a few more cars!"
"Yes, young master," Xiao Ying replied amiably, pressing his Bluetooth earpiece, "Group one, group two, all follow, all in Hummers."
Xiao Wei clicked his tongue, "Why are all driving Hummers? Is there danger?"
"Not really," Xiao Ying said indifferently, "We might buy a lot of stuff later. The Hummer has more space, fits more things."
Xiao Wei: "..." Boss, are you a mind-reading worm in the young master's belly? You can even guess this?
Ye Qingci: "..." So Jian Shichu asked to bring more people and more cars just to help them carry the things they buy!
Would her tactic of dragging Jian Shichu around to frantically purchase items actually work?
In the car, Xiao Ying asked, "Miss Ye, do you like shopping in malls, or do you prefer strolling down pedestrian streets?"
"..." Ye Qingci hesitated.
She didn't want to go anywhere.
What if she ran into someone she knew?
How would she explain it?
"You can't even decide on such a small matter?" Jian Shichu glanced at her and ordered Xiao Ying, "Go to the pedestrian street, the air is better there!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Xiao Ying replied with a laugh, driving towards the direction of the commercial street.
Upon arriving at a parking lot near the commercial street, Xiao Wei parked the car.
Ye Qingci bit her lip, getting out of the car with a sense of brave desperation.
She stood in place, scanning the area.
It wasn't the weekend today, so there weren't too many pedestrians.
Although she was a Miss of the Ye family, she wasn't their biological daughter, and her parents from the Ye family rarely let her make public appearances.
Her social circle was very small, and she didn't know many people.
Today wasn't the weekend, and her classmates would all be in class, so the chances of running into someone familiar weren't high... Wait a minute!
Today wasn't the weekend!
She hadn't gone to school today and hadn't asked for leave; she just went out shopping!
Seeing her complexion change suddenly, Jian Shichu walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Qingci looked at him, "I didn't ask for leave."
Jian Shichu furrowed his brows, "Ask for leave for what?"
"School," Ye Qingci explained patiently, "I'm still a student; I need to ask for leave if I don't attend school!"
"Is it that troublesome?" Jian Shichu frowned impatiently, "Then don't go anymore!"
Ye Qingci felt a chill run through her, "That's impossible!"
"Why is it impossible?" Jian Shichu raised his eyebrows, "Isn't going to school just for getting a job? And isn't finding a job for making money? If you need money, I'll give it to you. I'll support you!"
"That's not it!" Ye Qingci, afraid that he would really confine her and stop her from going to school, hurriedly said, "Going to school is for learning knowledge. Without learning, one can't understand reason; cultured people are naturally graceful. Do you understand?"
"Like reading?" Jian Shichu looked her up and down, his eyes showing a mix of pride and satisfaction, "No wonder you have a good temperament!"
Ye Qingci: "..." Her good temperament is his pride why?
"If you want to go, then go," Jian Shichu stretched out his arm to encircle her shoulders, moving her forward, "Isn't it just Yun City College? I'll have Xiao Ying buy it, transfer it to your name; you like studying so much, study for a lifetime!"
Ye Qingci: "..."
Jian Shichu tilted his head to look at Ye Qingci for a while, "Mhm, your naïve personality really suits a life at school!"
"..." He is the foolish one! His entire family is foolish! She's just unlucky, how is she foolish?
"Xiao Ying!" Jian Shichu made a gesture without turning his head, "Send someone immediately to handle it, negotiate to acquire Yun City College and transfer it to Ye Qingci's name!"
