Tang Yiyi’s eyes flickered with an unusual glint as she quickly went to help Jin Miaomiao. “Miaomiao, are you alright?”
Jin Miaomiao cried out in pain, “It hurts so much…”
Seeing this, the sales associate yelled at Su Ding, “Why did you hit her? Don’t think you can get away with not paying just because of this. Two items, forty-four thousand, pay up now!”
“Your store is just extorting people!” Su Ding said coldly.
Although she could afford over forty thousand yuan, she wouldn’t buy two ill-fitting items.
What’s more, the sales associate was clearly acquainted with Jin Miaomiao and her group.
Jin Xiaoxi tugged at Su Ding’s hand and slipped a black card into hers, her small eyes conveying unwavering resolve.
Su Ding smiled helplessly upon seeing the familiar black card.
She turned to the sales associate, her face stern. “Don’t expect me to pay for such tricks. Find the police to review the surveillance footage now. I don’t believe you didn’t tamper with anything?”
“What are you talking about! What did I tamper with!” The sales associate cursed and moved to rush forward.
Suddenly, a deep, cold voice echoed from behind.
“What’s all the commotion?”
Su Ding heard the familiar voice, turned her head, and saw Jin Ye walking slowly towards her.
Tang Yiyi, having helped Jin Miaomiao up, exclaimed in surprise, “Brother Jin Ye…”
Jin Ye ignored her completely, walking directly to Su Ding’s side and draping his suit jacket over her shoulders.
He then coldly eyed the sales associate. “Tell me, how did she damage your store’s clothes?”
The overbearing and chilling aura made the sales associate shrink back.
“Uh, sir, she tried on our clothes and broke a button. Now she’s slandering us, claiming we tampered with them. You see…”
Jin Ye’s sharp gaze swept over the sales associate. “Call your boss over.”
The sales associate’s face turned pale. “Ah?”
Jin Ye’s brows furrowed, his voice growing even colder. “Jin Corporation is also an investor in GK stores. I’d like to see how GK manages its employees when my wife, Jin Ye’s wife, comes to buy clothes only to be slandered by mere store clerks.”
“Jin Ye, you’re from the Jin Corporation…”
The sales associate was completely stunned, breaking out in a cold sweat, and instinctively looked at Jin Miaomiao.
Tang Yiyi quickly said, “Brother Jin Ye, perhaps the button fell off accidentally at some point. Neither the sales associate nor Sister Su Ding are at fault.”
“Yes, yes, maybe the button on this dress wasn’t sewn properly, or it might have just fallen off on its own,” the sales associate chimed in.
Jin Ye raised a cold eyebrow. “So, you’re saying your earlier insistence that my wife broke it was just rambling?”
“Uh, well,” the sales associate was flustered and had no choice but to nod.
Tang Yiyi intervened appropriately to smooth things over. “The sales associate was just doing her job. Let’s not argue over who is right or wrong. Sister Su Ding’s clothes are wet; let’s hurry and get her changed.”
“Miaomiao, come, I’ll help you to the hospital.”
She carefully supported Jin Miaomiao, who was in great pain but dared not make a sound, and slowly left the store.
Jin Ye turned to look at Su Ding, his brow furrowed slightly. “How did you end up like this?”
Su Ding’s face was a little pale, and she was too embarrassed to look at him.
“Dad, Auntie is too much! She actually threw water at Mom!” Jin Xiaoxi said indignantly.
“And did you protect Mom?” Jin Ye asked sternly.
Jin Xiaoxi nodded, then pulled the somewhat timid and naive girl beside him. “Sister Tang Tang also protected Mom.”
Jin Ye’s gaze fell upon Tang Ran, his eyes narrowing. He felt there was something off about this girl.
An indescribable feeling.
Tang Ran met Jin Ye’s dark eyes and, startled, grabbed Xiaoxi.
“Ah, it hurts!” Jin Xiaoxi’s arm was almost bruised. He managed to pull it free with considerable force.
Hearing this, Su Ding quickly went to check on Xiaoxi.
Seeing Tang Ran looking guilty and wronged, crying, Xiaoxi quickly went to hold her hand. “Sister, I don’t hurt.”
Then, he carefully wiped her tears.
Tang Ran stared blankly at the little boy half her height, the tear stains on his delicate face being wiped away.
Su Ding raised her eyebrows in surprise at this and looked at Jin Ye.
Jin Ye snorted coldly, thinking his brat was already trying to court girls at such a young age.
“Get her some clothes.”
He looked indifferently at the sales associate beside him and instructed.
Then, leaving the two children there, he pulled Su Ding towards the fitting room. When the sales associate brought the dress, he said, “Go change.”
Su Ding replied with an “oh” and obediently went in.
She took off her clothes, intending to put on the dress, but paused when she looked at her wet underwear.
The front of her chest was all damp.
Even if she put on the dress, wouldn’t her underwear still show through?
After thinking about it, she awkwardly clutched the curtain, poked her head out, and looked at the man outside with an embarrassed expression. “Uh, that.”
Jin Ye walked over, confused, and asked in a deep voice, “What is it?”
“I, I…” Su Ding’s face turned red. “My underwear is wet too.”
Seeing her shy demeanor, Jin Ye immediately understood, a smile playing on his lips. He left, saying, “Be right back.”
With that, he turned and walked out.
Su Ding waited nervously in the fitting room. Soon, footsteps approached.
Then, a hand with well-defined joints reached in.
It handed her a black bag.
Su Ding opened the bag. Inside was a matching set of lingerie, but it was…
Lingerie meant for seduction?
Su Ding’s face immediately turned red, her heart racing with shame and indignation. As she put it on, she grumbled: This scoundrel, he still remembers to tease her at a time like this!
When she got to the panties, she realized they were thongs!
Damn it!
Su Ding gritted her teeth, suppressing her shyness, and put them on with her eyes closed.
After putting on the dress, she could even feel the lightness of the seductive lingerie. Her toes curled in embarrassment, but thankfully, it couldn’t be seen from the outside.
Finally, she took a deep breath, pulled the curtain open, and walked out.
Jin Ye knew Su Ding was beautiful, but he was still struck by her appearance in the new dress.
“Wow, so pretty!” Tang Ran’s eyes widened with envy.
“Mom, you’re so beautiful!” Jin Xiaoxi rushed forward to hug her.
But before he could reach Su Ding, a strong arm lifted him and placed him aside. Then, Jin Ye strode forward.
A hint of admiration flashed across his stern face. “Does it fit?”
Su Ding nodded, her cheeks flushed.
“They all fit?” Jin Ye asked meaningfully.
Su Ding immediately felt shy and annoyed, glaring at him fiercely. “Shut up!”
