Jin Yan arranged for a car to take them to the top floor of a building in the hotel district for dinner, and then to the shopping area afterward.
More expensive brands followed.
Su Yue’s heart ached. She had brought her own card, and although she had saved some money over the past two years as an internet celebrity, she intended to use it to buy a house later, so she rarely bought clothes from luxury brands.
However, she couldn’t show her discomfort. Anyway, she would soon receive fifty thousand yuan in promotional fees, so she might as well spend it now.
“I know a store with clothes that would suit you perfectly, little sister,” Jin Yan said, leading them directly to one.
It leaned more towards a style for young women and those in their early maturity.
Upon seeing the hotel owner, the store assistants eagerly came to greet them.
Jin Yan instructed them to pick out an outfit and shoes for Su Yue.
The three waited in the VIP lounge, and soon the clothes were brought out. Su Yue went to the fitting room to change.
“She’s truly beautiful. You didn’t introduce her properly last time. What’s her background?” Jin Yan asked the man beside him in a low voice, after Su Yue had disappeared from sight.
“A student at the University of Media. She’ll be a junior after the semester starts,” he replied calmly. A tea master was serving them tea, and he raised his cup to take a sip.
Jin Yan was shocked. “You’re quiet when you don’t talk about it, but when you do, you really know how to have fun. Finding a university student?”
“Who are you calling fun? I’m serious,” Chen Ziming frowned, looking at him with displeasure.
“Yes, yes, of course. Officer Chen is a decent person, unlike me…” Jin Yan replied sourly, then added, “I shouldn’t have asked that question. The more I ask, the more jealous I get.”
He smiled and didn't reply.
It was a sleeveless plaid dress, black with fine dark green pinstripes, the hemline falling about five centimeters above the knee.
It had a small square neckline and was cut elegantly, accentuating a beautiful waistline.
It suited her well, Su Yue thought.
The store assistant had also paired it with a pair of light beige chunky heeled pumps with a shallow opening, decorated with black bows, which matched the dress perfectly.
Her legs were already quite attractive, and with this outfit, they appeared even more slender and shapely.
As she was about to go out, Su Yue called out to the store assistant.
“Could you bring the cash register in? I’d like to pay.”
The store assistant was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “Mr. Jin said it’s all on his tab. I wouldn’t dare to let you pay privately.”
She felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that spending a man’s money like this was not good.
This outfit and shoes cost nearly fifty thousand yuan, which was a considerable sum for her.
If she had known, she would have pretended not to see it.
It made her look like a gold digger.
“You should go out and let them see. She’s incredibly beautiful,” the store assistant advised, seeing her hesitation.
She hesitated again for a moment, then went out.
While not a gold digger, she did want to gain other benefits from Chen Ziming.
So she might as well not try to maintain a persona of being too proud here.
It would be better to accept it openly and find a way to repay Jin Yan privately later.
“Wow, she’s gorgeous. Try a few more outfits on her, hurry up,” Jin Yan exclaimed in surprise when he saw her emerge.
“No need, Mr. Jin. One is enough,” she quickly stopped him.
Chen Ziming knew she didn’t like men spending money on her like this, so he spoke up.
“If you want to give a gift, just buy it and send it directly to my place. It’s too troublesome to try it on here.”
Su Yue and Jin Yan: …
After they left, the store manager returned to her private office and quietly made a phone call.
Then, looking at the departing figures, she wore a meaningful expression.
Jin Yan drove them back to the villa, asking them to rest, and said he would take them to the hotel’s wildlife park in the afternoon.
Then he left.
“Change into the outfit this afternoon, and I’ll take pictures for you.”
Before their afternoon nap, he kissed her forehead and then remembered this, saying,
“No more pictures.” she looked at him and replied earnestly.
“Why?”
“This place, I want to come back specifically to take photos after my exams. I can get paid then too.”
The man chuckled softly and said in a low voice, “Our Yueyue is quite career-minded.”
“Of course. But I want to be a journalist in the future. This now is just… pocket money.”
She still thought about it a little, downplaying her purpose for being an internet celebrity.
University students from ordinary families didn’t need to worry about tuition fees and living expenses.
She couldn’t let him see through her.
