Chapter 155: Chapter 132: Is She Really Just a Rich Woman?
Gao Yuan smiled and reached out to gently tap Xiao Xiao on the nose.
At this, Xiao Xiao instantly reverted to her gentle, sophisticated self. She hugged Gao Yuan’s arm and began to act coyly.
"It’s perfectly natural for a girlfriend to spend her boyfriend’s money, but it’s also her right to spend money on her boyfriend!"
Alright,
Since Xiao Xiao had pulled the boyfriend-girlfriend card, Gao Yuan stopped protesting.
She took Gao Yuan by the hand and started picking out clothes for him.
After more than a month of training, his paunch had long since disappeared.
Although his stomach had flattened considerably, his weight had actually increased a little under Wang Lin’s guidance.
Now, as he stood there, he might not have had a perfect model’s figure, but his physique was definitely well-toned.
Gao Yuan simply let Xiao Xiao hold up one outfit after another, basking in the affection from his wealthy girlfriend.
After much deliberation, Xiao Xiao finally selected two outfits.
Gao Yuan changed into the clothes she had picked out and stood before the mirror.
As the sales associate adjusted the cuffs of his pants, Xiao Xiao straightened his shirt.
The Gao Yuan in the mirror, styled by Xiao Xiao, had a completely different presence.
Athletic wear might be comfortable, but it certainly couldn’t make him look as sharp as these clothes did. At that moment, Gao Yuan consciously adopted the air of a confident, domineering CEO.
Staring at the man before her, Xiao Xiao’s gaze turned distant.
It was as if, for a moment, she was back in her days of conquering the financial markets, surrounded by tycoons and elites. That was the exact same presence Gao Yuan was exuding now.
At that moment,
When the sales associate finished adjusting his cuffs and stood up to look at him, she froze.
She’d worked at Hermes for so long, but this was the first time she’d truly felt the transformative power of clothes. How could someone change so drastically just by putting on a different outfit!
She glanced over at Xiao Xiao. ’What a perfect couple!’
"It fits perfectly. Only a gentleman with your husband’s presence could pull off this look."
Hearing the associate’s words, Xiao Xiao snapped out of her reverie. She glanced at Gao Yuan again. "Hurry up and try on the next outfit."
As she pushed Gao Yuan toward the fitting room, Xiao Xiao told the sales associate, "We’ll take that last one. A new one, please."
The delighted sales associate called over a colleague to get it ready, while she herself remained by the fitting room door, waiting for Gao Yuan to emerge.
When Gao Yuan walked out of the fitting room again, her eyes lit up once more.
’Another outfit, another completely different vibe. She was starting to wonder whether it was the man’s charisma or the quality of their clothes.’
Xiao Xiao watched Gao Yuan come out again and nodded with satisfaction.
’This outfit suits him very well, too.’
This outfit made Gao Yuan look less formal and gave him a carefree elegance.
By the time Gao Yuan changed back into his own clothes, Xiao Xiao had already paid for both outfits.
The two outfits had cost her over 300,000 in total.
When the sales associate saw Xiao Xiao pay without so much as batting an eye, she had a sudden realization. ’A man like Gao Yuan... we can only ever look from afar.’
’Even if I were lucky enough to land a man like that, I couldn’t afford to keep him.’
’I might be considered a high-earner in Shanghai, but spending several hundred thousand on a couple of outfits for a boyfriend? I’d be neither willing nor able to part with that kind of money.’
Xiao Xiao gave the sales associate an address, and the two continued on their shopping trip.
As for the clothes, the associate would, of course, have them delivered. The idea of carrying shopping bags while they strolled was out of the question.
Their aimless wandering was over. Xiao Xiao led Gao Yuan directly to the Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique in Shanghai.
She’d noticed earlier, while he was trying on clothes, that his wrists were bare.
’Now that I’ve truly accepted him and even called myself his girlfriend, I can’t allow my man to look second-rate.’
’He has to have the best clothes, and that includes a watch.’
’Initially, I wanted to get him a Richard Mille, but the specific model I have in mind isn’t available in Shanghai and would have to be sourced internationally.’
’So, for now, I’ll just pick a watch to complement today’s outfits. It’ll be a good placeholder.’
’A Jaeger-LeCoultre will have to do for the time being.’
Gao Yuan, oblivious to her grand plans, simply assumed she brought him here because she thought he needed a watch.
’I have a few million now; it’s probably time I got one.’
’I can certainly afford a watch that costs a few hundred thousand.’
’But with her here, there’s no way she’s going to let me pay. She knows my situation perfectly well. I should save my money for my startup.’
"Show us your men’s watches priced over three million."
The two had just sat down when Xiao Xiao made her request.
Her words stunned the attending sales associate for a moment. But he was sharp; one look at Xiao Xiao’s attire told him she was not someone who needed to worry about money.
Especially the tone of her request—it was so nonchalant.
’It was like I feel when I go out to buy a pack of cigarettes.’
In a few moments, the associate returned with a tray, accompanied at his side by a man in a sharp suit.
"Welcome to Jaeger-LeCoultre. I am the manager here. It’s my pleasure to serve you both."
Xiao Xiao glanced at the manager but didn’t respond, her attention already fixed on the watches in the tray on the table.
There were five watches on the tray. Xiao Xiao’s eyes were immediately drawn to the one with a sapphire face and a deep blue strap, which instantly reminded her of how Gao Yuan looked in that outfit from earlier.
’This watch would look incredible on him.’
