However, as if under a spell, the moment he closed his eyes, Ouyang Mimi’s petite figure and her beautiful eyes appeared in his mind. “Damn!” he burst out angrily. What the hell was going on? Until now, he still couldn’t stop thinking about her. He slammed the wine glass on the table. Her scent was like a fragrant orchid, seemingly calling to his soul—— “Bastard!” He was almost going crazy when he realized he was still thinking about her. Her full yet delicate li
He stood up with his straight, tall body, left the bar unhappily, and walked to the large garage filled with a row of luxurious cars. He chose a stylish and expensive sports car, turned the key, started the engine, and the car shot out of the garage like an arrow, heading to the company. He must divert his attention because her image was driving him to the brink of a mental breakdown, making his mood extremely bad.
Mimi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, her eyes occasionally drifting to the suitcase in the corner. “Did I forget any clothes? Did I pack my underwear? What about skincare products? Lotion? Toothbrush?” Mimi muttered to herself, sitting up, getting out of bed barefoot, and heavily dragging the suitcase to the bedside with a thud. “Heave-ho!
She struggled to throw her suitcase onto the bed, unable to feel at ease, and opened the box to check it over and over again. Only after confirming that everything she needed to bring was packed did she feel relieved and put the suitcase back in its place, then lay down on the bed. Lying on the bed, she turned over and blinked her thick eyelashes. What was going on? Why was she so… nervous? Tomorrow, or perha
Two eyeballs began to drift again, finally drifting back to the suitcase placed in the corner…… “Did I forget any clothes? Did I pack my underwear? What about skincare products? Lotion? Toothbrush?” Once again, she nervously jumped out of bed and reopened the heavy suitcase…… She looked at the suitcase stuffed full of clothes. Dresses, pants, toothbrush, toothpaste…… everything was there. What should she wear to meet her master? She picked up a white shirt. “What kind of shirt is this? It was white but now looks beige. No, throw it away!” The white shirt was tossed behind her. “Oh my! What kind of dress is this? Too flashy, discard it!” Her hands couldn’t stop, finding every piece of clothing either too old or too gaudy. She pulled out a lace-trimmed dress and looked it over left and right…… “Too—childish, throw!” She pulled out many more clothes, finally giving up and sitting dejectedly on the floor. “No way, I don’t have a single decent outfit to wear. How can I face my handsome master?” She stared blankly at the floor covered with discarded clothes—long ones, short ones, red ones, green ones, all colors of the rainbow. Suddenly, she had an idea and rushed to the vanity, dumping out all the remaining money from her wallet. These were the pocket money Ancient Datong had given her, which she usually saved carefully, spending every penny wisely.
Mimi sat cross-legged on the bed excitedly, carefully counting. Two hundred. Two hundred fifty, five hundred… Wow, when added up, it’s actually eight thousand! I can buy a beautiful new outfit… Yes, I won’t feel bad about spending this money; it’s worth it for my master.
She hurriedly stuffed all the money back into her wallet, and for safety’s sake, she also took the credit card she had just recently obtained. After changing into a T-shirt and jeans, she stepped out of the house with a light and joyful pace.
The streets were bustling with people. Boutiques, clothing stores, shoe stores… Various sho
“Wow, how beautiful…” She walked casually, finally stopping in front of a clothing store that looked quite sophisticated, both inside and out. A pink dress on a display mannequin revealed perfect lines, showing the exquisite tailoring. Yes, this was the one. Mimi really liked it.
Passing the display window, Mimi stepped into the store with a happy mood.
Two fashionably dressed saleswomen sat in the counter, originally chatting happily. Upon hearing the automatic door open, they both raised their heads and looked towards her. Mimi smiled and nodded at them. The two saleswomen exchanged glances, their li
“Wenli, look at her appearance. She’s probably a poor girl who has wandered into the wrong store, thinking we sell cheap roadside goods,” one of the saleswomen sneered coldly.
“I’ll handle this myself,” the woman named Wenli immediately stood up, walking in pointed high heels with a haughty posture, approaching Mimi and looking her up and down with a contemptuous gaze.
“Hey! Little girl, how did you get in here? Don’t you know we only sell high-end branded items?”
“Branded?” Mimi had no idea what that meant.
“You clearly don’t understand what branded means,” Wenli casually flipped open the collar of a dress, showing her the label, “See this tag? It’s a masterpiece by a famous French designer. This is what a brand is—”
“Wow! No wonder the cut is so elegant, and this fabric…” Mimi reached out, wanting to feel the fabric’s texture.
“Stop! Don’t touch!” Wenli immediately scolded harshly, slapping away her hand, “This dress costs 80,000! In New Taiwan dollars, not Japanese yen.”
Mimi opened her mouth in surprise, looking shocked, “Eight, eight eight… eight ten thousand?!” How could this be?! Eight ten thousand! This was simply an astronomical price for her, and Mimi almost choked on her saliva. She naively thought that clothes everywhere in the world were similarly priced, with her T-shirt costing only 199, and her jeans just 390… Eight ten thousand… this… “It’s very expensive, right? If you can’t afford it, quickly leave, and don’t dirty our store’s clothes. These clothes are so expensive, you can’t afford to pay for damages,” Wenli pushed Mimi away, preventing her from touching the beautiful dress. An embarrassed blush instantly spread across her cheeks. Mimi realized the saleswoman didn’t welcome her at all, and a sense of inferiority suddenly overwhelmed her.
Just as she was about to leave, a tall, strong, and robust figure suddenly appeared in her mind. She really wanted to talk to Gu Feiyang. If she could wear this dress, she would look so beautiful, seeing its charming color and elegant cut… If she wore it, perha
Mimi lowered her head, opened her wallet, and took out a credit card. “Can I pay by card?”
“Your card would be maxed out before paying in full! This card can only cover 55,000, and you’re still short 25,000!” Wenli disdainfully glanced at her credit card.
“Can I get a discount?” Mimi asked, feeling so sad she wanted to cry.
She only wanted this dress, why would she be treated so unfairly? “No way.” Wenli, with eyes seemingly on her forehead, coldly snorted: “If you can’t afford it, leave quickly! Don’t obstruct our business. If our main customers see someone as poor as you lingering in our store, they might think we’ve lowered our standards and are selling roadside goods!” “Wait, I have over 8,000 here!” Mimi emptied all the cash from her wallet. Mimi felt as if a sharp knife had cut through her heart, her vision gradually blurring, her throat choking with emotion. “Get out! We don’t welcome you!” Wenli lost her patience, shouting impatiently. She pushed Mimi to the door, and when the automatic door opened, the impatient Wenli forcefully pushed Mimi out of the store! “Ouch!” Mimi, pushed out of the store, crashed into a solid wall. “Be careful!” After inspecting the company with his father and making an important call to the UK headquarters, Gu Feiyang suddenly felt relaxed and happy. He thought, since he rarely returned home and even more rarely had such a long stay in Taiwan, he could take this opportunity to relax. So he came to a shopping district, planning to buy some casual wear, and happened to pass by this store, coincidentally running into Mimi.
