Chapter 111: Chapter 110 Jinfu Mall

Jinfu Mall was a large comprehensive mall in Modu. Stepping inside felt like entering a world of goods, with dazzling products and various specialty stores at every turn.

Supermarkets, cafés, bakeries, high-end boutiques, and jewelry stores were all available. Whether you wanted items priced at about ten yuan, a few dozen yuan, or even those costing thousands or tens of thousands, you could find them all here.

Because it was the weekend, Jinfu Mall was bustling. Fashionably dressed women gathered with friends, browsing from one specialty store to another, selecting their favorites, making the mall resemble a miniature city.

After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Lu Tianxing took Yue Tingting’s hand and led her directly from the elevator into Jinfu Mall.

Yue Tingting seemed a bit uneasy about her surroundings, her lips tightly pursed and a slight sweat on her nose indicating her nervousness. Holding tightly onto Lu Tianxing’s arm, her naturally pure face, paired with her anxious expression, immediately drew the attention of many shoppers.

”Brother Lu, let’s go somewhere else! The clothes here are so expensive, I’m afraid the money I brought isn’t enough.”

As she spoke, Yue Tingting patted her small crossbody bag with some worry.

Her family was just an ordinary working-class family. Her parents’ salaries combined were around eight or nine thousand yuan, and even with her own salary, it was at most fifteen or sixteen thousand yuan. In a place like Modu where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, over ten thousand yuan was just enough to cover expenses, and here, clothing in these boutiques could range from thousands to tens of thousands. A single piece of clothing here could cost more than her monthly salary.

Spending a month’s salary on a piece of clothing was something Yue Tingting had never considered growing up. To her, as long as clothes kept her warm, nothing else was important.

Lu Tianxing, with a smile on his face, couldn’t resist pinching the girl’s conflicted cheek. ”Stop worrying, or you might wrinkle your face. Haven’t I told you? Today, you’re the star of the party, and of course, I’m paying. Besides, think about it, in this past year, you’ve helped me clean my room and so many other things, and I haven’t even given you a gift yet!”

”But....”

”No buts, today you have to listen to me, no other choice,”

Lu Tianxing interrupted Yue Tingting’s protest with firm determination.

Seeing the resolved expression on Lu Tianxing’s face, Yue Tingting finally nodded helplessly, resolving in her heart that Brother Lu had just started working and surely didn’t have much money, so she would choose something less expensive later.

If Lu Tianxing knew what Yue Tingting was thinking, he would definitely laugh and pat her head, thinking her a truly considerate girl who always thought of others. To him, money was just a number, and if he so wished, countless people would willingly offer him money to spend.

Lu Tianxing walked around Jinfu Mall with Yue Tingting and they eventually entered a comfortably decorated boutique for women’s clothing.

Although this shop was an upscale boutique focused on summer fashion and the prices were not cheap, the styles of the clothes were pleasing to the eye. Since this was for an upcoming welcome party, there was naturally no need to wear a formal banquet dress.

As soon as they entered the store, a female sales associate warmly greeted them, ”Welcome! I’m not sure what you’re looking for, but our clothes are the most fashionable styles of this summer season. This lady looks so beautiful, anything would look even better on her. What kind of style are you looking for? May I introduce some to you?”

”Thank you, but there’s no need to trouble yourself, we’ll look around by ourselves and call you if we need any help.”

Lu Tianxing declined the saleswoman’s kind offer and began walking around the store with Yue Tingting, paying attention to her reactions.

Yue Tingting, clutching Lu Tianxing’s arm, silently admired the clothes around her. Whenever she saw something she liked, a bright sparkle briefly passed through her eyes. Then she pursed her lips, pretending to be disdainful—it wasn’t that she didn’t like them, but even the cheapest garment was over a thousand yuan.

Suddenly, Yue Tingting’s eyes lit up as she spotted a pure white princess dress. She seemed to really like it, but her expression turned sad when she glanced at the price tag. Holding Lu Tianxing’s hand, she said softly, ”Brother Lu, let’s go to another store. I don’t like the clothes here.”

Seeing Yue Tingting’s expression, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but find it amusing. Without a word, he led her directly to the white princess dress.

Upon seeing the dress, Lu Tianxing, too, couldn’t help but marvel at the pure white princess dress. It wasn’t like the other puffy princess dresses but was the kind that had a fitted bodice and cinched waist, made from a continuous piece of cloth.

The fabric was light chifon spreading out in a sea of white that floated slightly, giving the dress an ethereal and elegant quality like a cloud. The snug waistline showcased a woman’s perfect figure while the ruffled cuffs were softly alluring. The dress was studded with shining beads and sequins on the chest, exuding exquisite beauty. It epitomized luxury and nobility, instantly elevating one’s presence, and the irregular cut of the hem made it even more enchanting as it moved with grace and romance.

Gradually, Lu Tianxing began to envision Yue Tingting in the dress and decisively turned to her, saying, ”Tingting, let’s go to the changing room!”

”What!”

Yue Tingting’s cheeks flushed as she stammered, ”Lu... Brother Lu, this is a boutique, you...”

Lu Tianxing watched her with a straight face, then smiled and said, ”What are you thinking about? I just want you to try on this dress in the changing room to see if it fits. Where is your little head wandering to?”

Yue Tingting breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing Lu Tianxing’s smiling face, she let out a soft yelp, her face turning red all the way to her ears, wishing she could just find a hole to crawl into from embarrassment.

After Yue Tingting took the princess dress into the changing room, a female sales associate came over and said enviously, ”Sir, you have a good eye. This princess dress was designed by one of Paris’s top fashion designers and is one of the most cutting-edge pieces this fashion season. Sir, you have great taste.”

”Ha, really? What of it! To me, clothes are just something to wear. Designers just add a touch of embellishment. As for whether they are famous or not, what’s the use? To put it another way, no matter how renowned you are as a designer, if you design a piece for someone who is overweight, it probably won’t look very aesthetically pleasing. So whether it’s designed by a famous designer or not, it’s of no use to me.”

Lu Tianxing chuckled, shaking his head. He was rather indifferent to the so-called fashion circle, which to him seemed more about outlandish accessories and overpowering makeup that could frighten a ghost. Is this what fashion is? It’s just like these days when anyone can call themselves an expert by spouting jargon that others don’t understand.

The female sales associate looked at Lu Tianxing in astonishment, having never heard anyone comment on the fashion circle like this before. She thought of arguing against Lu Tianxing’s words but couldn’t deny the truth in what he said. To ordinary people, what they don’t understand is considered fashionable.
