Do you have anything you need to buy? Xu Yan asked casually.

Yeah, autumn is almost here, so I'm buying some clothes for my younger sister for the change of seasons.

Younger sister? Xu Yan was stunned for a moment. You have a younger sister?

Yeah, Chen Cheng nodded. She just graduated from middle school and starts university next month.

Oh, I see. Realizing it was his actual sister, Xu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Downstairs, Xu Yan was a bit dazed looking at the white minivan parked in front of them, its door opening automatically.

Chen Cheng smiled and tugged her arm. Get in. What are you standing there for?

Xu Yan was instantly startled, her heart jumping into her throat.

A young man hitting on a young woman, going out for a meal, and now going shopping.

Xu Yan was actually very clear about what that was for.

It was just that she was still a bit conflicted and couldn't quite let go.

Xu Yan swallowed hard, but still lifted her leg and stepped into the car.

Chen Cheng smiled and sat in as well.

After sitting down, Xu Yan felt a bit nervous and looked around anxiously.

Just now at the restaurant, there were a lot of people, so it felt fine.

But suddenly sitting inside a pitch-black van...

Xu Yan suddenly had the illusion that she was about to be kidnapped to have her kidneys harvested.

These are my two friends, Chen Cheng said, glancing at the slightly nervous Xu Yan, and introduced them.

This is Xu Yan.

Hello, Ms. Xu, Qian Qian, sitting in the passenger seat, turned back and greeted Xu Yan with a smile.

Qian Qian was Eleven's former colleague—oh wait, they were colleagues again now.

Chen Cheng had directly acquired the security company where Eleven used to work.

She was also one of the few female friends and besties Eleven had.

Hello, Xu Yan replied, feeling a bit reserved.

Go to the underground garage and move the car. Take it over to Chaoyang. After they greeted each other, Chen Cheng handed over the car keys and gave the order.

Very well, sir. I'll go right away, Qian Qian replied respectfully.

Ma Yong, who was driving, did not turn around to greet Xu Yan.

He and Qian Qian both saw it clearly: the boss didn't really want to introduce this woman to them.

If he really wanted to introduce her, the boss would have introduced her by name.

Qian Qian nodded to Xu Yan with a smile again, and Xu Yan responded politely. Only then did Qian Qian push the car door open and get out.

Watching Qian Qian's respectful attitude, Xu Yan had a rough guess about her identity.

A Bodyguard?

Once she had this guess, the nervous feeling of being kidnapped for organ harvesting was immediately relieved.

Thinking about it, Xu Yan cursed herself for being a blockhead; who would drive a multi-million dollar luxury car to kidnap someone for organs?

Besides, that meal just now cost over ten thousand; she could have bought many kidneys for that price.

Go to the SKP across the street, Chen Cheng ordered Ma Yong after the passenger door closed.

Very well, sir, Ma Yong replied, shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and left the spot.

It was only one intersection away; they arrived after passing the traffic light.

Ma Yong parked the car in the drop-off area of the mall by the roadside, and Chen Cheng and Xu Yan got out.

Chen Cheng raised his arm and looked at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan watched his movement, then glanced at the eye-catching signs for Louis Vuitton and Dior in the distance.

A blush crept up her fair face; she pursed her lips and reached out to link her arm with Chen Cheng's.

Chen Cheng's lips curled up instantly, and he secretly cursed, I really am a bad guy.

He raised an eyebrow and walked straight toward the most prominent Louis Vuitton store.

Good evening, sir and madam. Welcome to Louis Vuitton, a beautiful sales associate in uniform greeted them as soon as they walked in.

Chen Cheng nodded with a smile and got straight to the point: Show us the womenswear and women's bags.

May I ask your surnames, sir and madam? the sales associate asked.

My surname is Chen, and hers is Xu, Chen Cheng said calmly.

Very well, Mr. Chen, Ms. Xu. Please follow me this way, the beautiful sales associate's smile was exceptionally bright.

As soon as they entered, she saw the Vacheron Constantin on Chen Cheng's wrist.

Xu Yan, carrying a three-hundred-yuan Taobao bag, was immediately dismissed by her as just an accessory.

It wasn't that she was snobbish.

Men are judged by their watches, women by their bags.

It was just a professional habit in their line of work.

Xu Yan sensed the sales associate's gaze and guiltily pulled her bag under her arm, tightening her grip on Chen Cheng's arm.

Chen Cheng smiled and led Xu Yan to follow.

Once inside the store, Xu Yan's eyes lit up.

She excitedly examined the various bags and shoes on the shelves.

She had wanted a Louis Vuitton for quite some time now.

A couple of days ago, when she argued with Shen Zichang, Shen Zichang had even bought her a Louis Vuitton bag to apologize.

She was quite happy at first, but it turned out there was actually a cash back for a good review card inside the box.

This move almost made her so angry she blew a fuse.

It was one thing to try and fool her with a fake bag, but at least take a look and check if there are any issues yourself.

But no, you had to go and include a cash back for a good review card.

Do I have to write you a hundred-word positive review too?

No money, no sincerity—it was just too much.

Sir, madam, over here are our new arrivals for this season. Walking to the shelf, the sales associate introduced them to the pair.

Chen Cheng didn't feel reserved at all; he took a glance and started picking and choosing.

He had gained experience from buying so much; he could find the most suitable combinations with just a glance.

This one~ Chen Cheng pointed casually at a denim dress.

The sales associate immediately smiled flatteringly: Mr. Chen, you have a great eye. Your girlfriend has such a tall and slender figure; this dress would be very suitable.

It's very form-fitting and really suits Ms. Xu's temperament.

girlfriend? Xu Yan was clearly stunned for a moment, a blush creeping onto her face.

This one~ Chen Cheng ignored her and continued selecting items.

...

After picking out a few dresses for Deng Xiaoqi, Chen Cheng pursed his lips. Their womenswear really wasn't great; it was genuinely hard to find anything good-looking.

Why don't you go try them on? Chen Cheng turned his head and said to Xu Yan.

Ah? I should try them on? Xu Yan's eyes widened, and she couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth.

Yeah, Chen Cheng nodded. Xiao Qi is about the same height as you; help me try them on.

Oh~ Xu Yan was immediately disappointed and let out an oh.

Her and Deng Xiaoqi's heights were indeed exactly the same.

Don't ask how Chen Cheng knew.

One he had measured with his hands, the other he had measured with his eyes.

My eyes are a ruler!

The sales associate's eyes darted wildly between the two, guessing who this Xiao Qi might be.

She pointed to the fitting room, Ms. Xu, would you please come this way with me?

Xu Yan looked at Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, saying in an unquestionable tone, Go ahead.

Xu Yan didn't dare to refute and nodded with a smile.

Then, Mr. Chen, please take a seat for a moment, the sales associate greeted him with a smile.

Just as she was about to take Xu Yan to the fitting room, Chen Cheng stopped her.

Get someone else to take her to change clothes; you come show me the bags.

Oh~ oh~ very well, Chen Cheng, hearing about the bags, the sales associate's eyes lit up again.

She turned her head and shouted to a free sales associate in the distance, Amy~

Hearing that Chen Cheng wanted to look at bags, Xu Yan also perked up, looking at Chen Cheng eagerly.

But Chen Cheng ignored her gaze.
