    “How do you feel?”

    Xu Shaochen let go of Zhou Sixian and asked her with a mischievous smile.

    “You… you…”

    Zhou Sixian’s face turned so red it seemed like it might start bleeding. She looked at Xu Shaochen with embarrassment and anger as large tears began to fall.

    How do I feel? Completely and utterly humiliated.

    “No crying!”

    Xu Shaochen’s expression turned serious. He had experience dealing with naive girls; the more you comfort them, the harder they cry, so he didn’t comfort her.

    Sure enough, Zhou Sixian immediately held back her tears, glaring at Xu Shaochen with a face full of grievance as she tidied her slightly disheveled clothes.

    Now, there was no doubt. She was no longer clean.

    “Don’t worry, from now on, you’re my woman.”

    Xu Shaochen pulled her into his arms. He had to admit, after personally testing it out, Zhou Sixian’s figure was really something special.

    Zhou Sixian leaned against Xu Shaochen, motionless. He kissed and touched her, and she realized she was no longer clean. With nowhere else to go, she couldn’t see herself being with any other man but him.

    This was why Xu Shaochen liked such naive, one-track-minded girls.

    Soon, the car stopped in front of a women’s clothing store.

    Xu Shaochen got out with Zhou Sixian, instructing Long Yi and Long Er to wait outside.

    “Beast.”

    The two looked at Xu Shaochen’s back and, with perfect timing, both muttered the same curse word under their breath before pulling out cigarettes and lighting them with a somewhat wistful expression.

    Watching one good girl after another get ruined by Xu Shaochen, they felt both heartache and a bit of jealousy.

    Xu Shaochen always seemed to have his fill of beautiful women, while they stuffed themselves every day with doggie treats.

    Xu Shaochen, of course, didn’t know anything about Long Yi and Long Er’s growing resentment. He led the hesitant Zhou Sixian into the women’s clothing store.

    The moment they entered, most eyes turned toward them.

    This pairing was, to say the least, awkward.

    Xu Shaochen was tall, handsome, and dressed in expensive clothing.

    And as for Zhou Sixian? She wore an old, oversized tracksuit with her head bowed low, her long hair covering most of her face. She looked like a complete bumpkin.

    Yet, she was held in Xu Shaochen’s embrace. Such a pair was odd, no matter how you looked at them.

    Zhou Sixian clung tightly to Xu Shaochen’s clothes. It was her first time in such a fancy place, and she looked visibly nervous and somewhat scared.

    “Sir, are you buying clothes for the beautiful lady with you?”

    A saleswoman approached, her face adorned with a sweet smile. Though she secretly resented that a country bumpkin like Zhou Sixian could snag such a rich and handsome man, she didn’t show a hint of it.

    “Try all of these. We’ll buy everything that fits.”

    Xu Shaochen casually pointed to a row of women’s clothes. His tone was as calm as if he were buying a pound of cabbage at a market.

    What? Everyone around them was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief as they looked at Xu Shaochen.

    They couldn’t comprehend such wealth. Was this how rich people bought clothes—taking everything at once? Every item here cost in the four digits; they had to carefully choose each piece. But Xu Shaochen? He bought in bulk. The difference was staggering.

    The women in the store glanced at Zhou Sixian with envy, jealousy, and barely concealed hatred, while the men looked at Xu Shaochen with a similar mix of emotions.

    The women envied how lucky Zhou Sixian was to have landed such a rich and handsome man.

    The men envied and despised Xu Shaochen’s wealth. Clearly a brainless rich second-generation guy—why else would he pick such a plain, dirty girl?

    “She’s ridiculously lucky.”

    “This guy must be insane. With that much money, he could get any woman he wanted, yet he chose a bumpkin like her.”

    “Heh, maybe he’s just tired of gourmet meals and wants to go vegetarian for a change?”

    “Sure, but still, she’d have to be good-looking, right? She’s been keeping her head down this whole time; must be pretty plain.”

    They whispered among themselves, but their words were filled with bitterness—it was the unmistakable scent of envy.

    Listening to these caustic comments, Zhou Sixian’s fists clenched tightly.

    “Go and try it on.”

    Xu Shaochen said softly, handing her a black evening dress. He then estimated her foot size and picked out a pair of black high-heeled sandals.

    Zhou Sixian nodded, taking the dress and sandals into the fitting room.

    The women’s eyes nearly bulged out, staring daggers at the back of Zhou Sixian as she walked away.

    The sandals and dress Xu Shaochen had casually selected were worth over 20,000 yuan combined.

    In their eyes, it was a colossal waste to give such expensive clothes and shoes to that bumpkin.

    About ten minutes later, the fitting room door opened, and Zhou Sixian timidly stepped out, her face flushed.

    Her first instinct was to keep her head down, but remembering those mocking comments, she bit her lip and raised her head instead.

    Hiss—

    In an instant, the entire store fell silent, everyone staring at Zhou Sixian, dumbfounded.

    The black strapless dress hugged her curvaceous figure. Her fair shoulders and collarbones were perfectly proportioned. The dress’s belt cinched her thin waist, making one worry it might snap her delicate frame.

    The skirt reached her knees, revealing a pair of slender, straight, and creamy white legs. Her dainty feet contrasted sharply with the black high heels.

    Even though some parts of the outfit didn’t quite match, her delicate, pale face was unforgettable.

    “Is this… even the same person?”

    Someone in the crowd mumbled, but their words echoed the thoughts of everyone present.

    The women who had earlier mocked Zhou Sixian now felt a burning shame, as if they had been slapped hard across the face.

    The men who had sarcastically commented on Xu Shaochen being a fool now looked at him with admiration.

    This guy has sharp eyes, being able to recognize such a diamond in the rough! A new set of clothes turned her into an absolute beauty.

    “You look beautiful.” Xu Shaochen nodded and, glancing at the dazed saleswoman, added, “Pack up all those clothes, and pick out a few more pairs of shoes.”

    “No… it’s too expensive,” Zhou Sixian stammered.

    Xu Shaochen smiled slightly, pulling her into his arms. “My wealth is endless. Besides, my most precious treasure right now is you. Wear them for me, okay?”

    Ah, there he went again, smoothly lying through his teeth, tricking an innocent girl. He had said something similar to almost every woman.

    But it always worked, which was why he used it often.

    Zhou Sixian lowered her head and softly murmured an agreement, her small hands fumbling nervously with the hem of her dress, her heart pounding like a deer caught in headlights.

    Everyone else in the store looked at this scene with envy.

    The mood was so palpable that it made them think of one particular saying:

    The wealthy inevitably pair off, while the poor can only watch.
