Su Fan followed Su Yutong with a dejected expression, burdened by bags of purchases. If not for his martial arts cultivation, the weight would have crushed him.
They entered a high-end clothing store in the mall.
"Your clothes need changing. Come, I'll help you pick out a set," Su Yutong said, appraising Su Fan from head to toe.
Su Fan was indifferent to his appearance, as long as his clothes were wearable. The set he was wearing, though branded, was a bit worn. Su Yutong had bought it for him.
"There's no need. I'm fine wearing this," Su Fan tried to refuse. He was tired and wanted to rest, preferring to lie down at home rather than shop for new clothes.
However, Su Yutong gave him no chance to refuse and walked in.
Su Fan could only helplessly follow, laden with bags.
"Welcome!"
The sales assistant greeted them politely.
Looking at the shopping bags Su Fan was carrying, it was evident they were wealthy; not everyone could afford so many luxury brands.
The sales assistant enthusiastically attended to Su Yutong. She immediately recognized her as the main customer, as Su Yutong was clearly in charge of the shopping.
"Beautiful lady, this way to our new arrivals. Please follow me."
The sales assistant, with her keen eye, led Su Yutong to the new arrivals section, recognizing her as a significant client. New arrivals were typically expensive, as they rarely went on sale.
Su Fan was completely ignored. He looked like an escort rather than Su Yutong's boyfriend.
"May I ask who you are buying for? And their age?" the sales assistant inquired of Su Yutong. This was a men's clothing store, so Su Yutong must be buying for a male friend, not herself.
"Here, see if there's anything suitable for him," Su Yutong said, pointing to Su Fan behind her.
The sales assistant was surprised that the clothes were for Su Fan. A hint of disdain flickered in her eyes. *What a leech, disgusting!*
Su Fan placed the bags on the floor, about to sit down and rest, when Su Yutong called him over.
"Su Fan, come and try on some clothes."
Su Fan had no choice but to reluctantly stand up and try on clothes.
Su Yutong picked out several outfits for Su Fan. He had to change for each one, trying on five or six before she was satisfied.
"This one is good," Su Yutong said, nodding at the transformed Su Fan.
Su Fan was wearing a black suit with a dark red shirt underneath, which accentuated his tall and well-built physique. Su Fan had a good figure; after his cultivation, he was the type who looked slim in clothes but muscular when undressed. The tailored suit fit him perfectly, highlighting his build.
"The lady has excellent taste. This is our latest arrival, which won an award at the Milan Fashion Week. We only have this one piece in the store," the sales assistant said, overjoyed. Selling this suit would earn her a commission of over ten thousand.
"How much is this set?" Su Fan asked curiously.
"The standard price for this suit is 342,800. If the gentleman is sincere about buying it, I can take the liberty of waiving the decimal, making it just 340,000," the sales assistant, being a shrewd businesswoman, reasoned that even if she offered a discount, she would still make a profit of nearly ten thousand.
"Holy cow! That expensive!" Su Fan had no qualms about spending money in the game world, but paying hundreds of thousands for a single piece of clothing was too extravagant! The most expensive outfit he had ever worn was also bought by Su Yutong, but it only cost around ten thousand, which was pocket change compared to this.
"If you can't afford it, don't pretend to be rich. I'll take this suit," a man and a woman walked in from outside. The man had a prominent belly, as if he were ten months pregnant.
The woman beside the fat man, however, caught Su Fan's eye. *Lu Jiaxin?* He hadn't interacted with Lu Jiaxin since the last gathering and was surprised to see her again while shopping for clothes.
Su Yutong felt a pang of annoyance at the fat man's words. If it weren't for the law, she would have slapped him. Didn't he understand the concept of 'first come, first served'?
"No need for discounts. Please ring us up," Su Yutong said to the sales assistant, feeling displeased.
"Pretty lady, you seem like a person of status. Is it worth spending so much on a gigolo?" The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw Su Yutong's appearance, and he stepped forward enthusiastically. He assumed Su Fan was Su Yutong's kept man.
Lu Jiaxin, beside him, recognized Su Fan. Her gaze towards him was somewhat complicated. *How could she meet him here?* After the class reunion, Xu Shaoqing had broken up with her. However, she had used their past connection to find a rich benefactor. Although he was older, he was generous, and Lu Jiaxin had benefited greatly from him. Facing her former crush, Lu Jiaxin seemed hesitant to meet Su Fan's gaze.
Su Fan was indifferent. He was already with Su Yutong and couldn't accommodate anyone else. He had long since lost any feelings for Lu Jiaxin.
"Watch your mouth. Be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself!" Su Yutong warned the fat man, turning around.
The fat man, however, was unfazed by a woman's threat. "Keeping a gigolo isn't something to be ashamed of. I have a mistress myself. For people like us, it's just about satisfying physical needs. What do you do? Perhaps we can collaborate?" The fat man was indeed thick-skinned, approaching Su Yutong while accompanied by his mistress.
"You fatso, don't get too close to my woman!" Su Fan couldn't stand by and watch Su Yutong being harassed. As a man, he had to step forward.
"What right do you have to speak here? If you're living off someone, don't meddle in other people's business. You're so clueless!" the fat man sneered at Su Fan.
*Hmph! My temper is rising!* Su Fan almost lost control and resorted to violence. He restrained himself out of consideration for Lu Jiaxin, his former classmate.
"Beautiful lady, are you free tonight? May I have the honor of inviting you to dinner? I've booked a table at the five-star restaurant next door," the fat man asked Su Yutong with a fawning smile. He had booked that restaurant to dine with Lu Jiaxin, but if he could invite the beautiful woman in front of him, then Lu Jiaxin was nothing.
"Mr. Li, how can you do this? She's right here!" Lu Jiaxin, seeing this, didn't seem bothered by Su Fan's presence and began to act coyly, holding the fat man's arm. If she didn't act now, her sugar daddy might slip away.
