The moment she linked her arm with Chen Cheng, things changed.

The roles had reversed!

Chen Cheng picked out six or seven bags for Deng Xiaoqi in just two or three minutes, as if he were buying groceries.

Everything from the Moon bag, Round bag, Croissant bag, Messenger bag, Baguette, Daphne, to the Carryall—he had collected all the Louis Vuitton classics.

Before long, Xu Yan came out wearing a new black slip dress.

She walked up to Chen Cheng, spun around, looked at him expectantly, and asked softly, "How do I look?"

When she first went to the fitting room, Xu Yan had been somewhat nervous, or perhaps resentful.

To think that this person had brought her to the mall just to buy clothes for some little sister of his.

But the moment she put on this dress, which cost over twenty thousand, Xu Yan immediately forgot all her unhappiness.

At this moment, Xu Yan was very pleased.

"Not bad," Chen Cheng said, giving her a serious look and praising her.

The girl had a tall figure with long legs, standing at one meter seventy-two.

Wearing a dress with such a high hemline, those exposed, fair, long legs were quite eye-catching.

After saying this, he smiled and added, "No need to try on the others. Just pack up the few sets we picked out in the same size."

"Certainly, Mr. Chen," the beautiful sales associate said with a beaming smile. She bowed respectfully and turned to pack up the items.

Chen Cheng looked at Xu Yan, a question suddenly popping into his mind.

Although Deng Xiaoqi was the same height as Xu Yan, Deng Xiaoqi's size was probably at least three sizes larger than Xu Yan's.

If he bought these back, would she even be able to wear them?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Cheng shook his head.

If Deng Xiaoqi couldn't wear them, there were plenty of other little sisters at home.

Besides, there was still Xu Yan here.

She had already tried them on, so they would definitely fit.

Xu Yan excitedly looked in the mirror and took a few photos with her phone.

After taking the selfies, she wasn't quite satisfied. She glanced at Chen Cheng, who was talking to the sales associate, thought for a moment, and walked over.

"Could you help me take a few photos?"

"Sure~" Chen Cheng readily agreed, a bright smile on his face.

Once Xu Yan struck a pose, Chen Cheng casually snapped a few pictures for her.

When he handed the phone back to her, he casually asked, "Do you like this one?"

"Mhm~" Xu Yan, still admiring herself in the fitting mirror, nodded without hesitation.

Chen Cheng smiled, looking very nonchalant. "Then don't take this one off."

"It's a gift for you. Hmm... let's call it a welcome gift for our meeting."

"This..." Xu Yan felt as if she had eaten honey; her mouth curled up to her ears, but she still tried to act reserved. "We've only known each other for a day, and I'm already receiving such an expensive gift."

"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Chen Cheng stepped forward, stood in front of her, and gave a charming smile. "What's wrong with that? Didn't you just act as my free model?"

Xu Yan bit her lip, suppressing a smile. "Alright then."

After finishing at Louis Vuitton, Chen Cheng took Xu Yan to the nearby Dior, Celine, and Chanel.

Chen Cheng's shopping style—clearing out the shelves—truly shocked Xu Yan.

She wasn't just linking her arm with Chen Cheng's anymore; she was occasionally rubbing her little fleshy mounds against him.

And whispering coquettishly in his ear.

That intimacy... anyone who didn't know better would really think they were a couple.

They shopped until the bell rang signaling the mall's closing, and only then did they leave.

Chen Cheng, with his arm around Xu Yan's waist, walked and chatted with her as they got into the Alphard (a common nickname for the LM500) that was waiting by the roadside.

"Shall I take you home?" Chen Cheng asked Xu Yan with a smile as they sat in the car.

Huh?

Xu Yan's eyes lit up. She had originally thought that tonight...

However, the fact that Chen Cheng said this made Xu Yan's favorability toward him increase a bit more.

She wasn't really opposed to them getting up to some romantic business tonight either.

But when she thought about the fact that she was still seeing Shen Zichang, she still felt a bit of guilt.

This guilt made her

"Okay~" A bright smile appeared on Xu Yan's fair face.

"Tell the driver the address," Chen Cheng said, also smiling.

"Driver, Future City, please," Xu Yan said to Ma Yong.

Ma Yong, expressionless, adjusted the navigation on his phone.

He shifted gears, released the clutch, pressed the gas pedal, and the car slowly merged into the traffic.

Neither of them spoke, and the car fell into an awkward atmosphere.

Chen Cheng looked down at his phone; Qiao Xichen had just sent him a message.

Xiao Qiao: [Are you back yet? I might need a while longer to finish up here.]

The message was sent at 9:30.

Chen Cheng looked at his watch; it was exactly 9:50.

He thought for a moment and replied: [No rush, take your time. I'm still out socializing right now.]

[Maybe you'll even arrive first.]

[Don't take the subway home, just take a taxi.]

After sending the message, Chen Cheng casually transferred a 520 red envelope to Qiao Xichen.

Before long, the car arrived at the residential complex where Xu Yan lived.

Chen Cheng and Xu Yan got out of the car together.

Xu Yan, watching him get out of the car, felt a bit nervous and involuntarily swallowed.

Chen Cheng walked to the trunk, which was already open.

Chen Cheng searched through the carload of shopping bags and found a Louis Vuitton bag and a Chanel bag.

He reached out and handed one to Xu Yan in front of him. "Weren't you stressing all night about what gift to buy your mom?"

"Give this Louis Vuitton ONTHEGO to your mom. She should really like it, and I bet she'll be able to show it off to your aunt for a long time."

While they were shopping earlier, Xu Yan had 'accidentally' mentioned her phone call with her mother.

Her aunt had bought a Louis Vuitton bag and kept showing it off to her mom, which really annoyed her mom.

Xu Yan had said she would buy one for her dear mother too.

Huh?

Xu Yan's eyes went wide. She had originally thought that the dress she was wearing was the biggest gain of the night.

She hadn't expected...

She hadn't expected this man to be so generous.

"Keep this Chanel CF Black Gold for yourself; it suits your style better." Before Chen Cheng finished speaking, he handed her the other one too.

"Ah?" Xu Yan's face flushed red, and her breathing quickened.

That ONTHEGO was about the same price as the dress she was wearing. After shopping with Chen Cheng for the whole night, Xu Yan's tolerance had increased, and she had started to feel that twenty-five thousand was within an acceptable range.

But this CF Black Gold was completely different.

This bag sold for over eighty thousand.

Chen Cheng watched her look of shock and didn't rush to say anything, waiting for her to come to her senses.

After several breaths, Xu Yan finally recovered from her shock.

She took the bag, feeling a bit guilty. "This... this... isn't this too expensive?"

Chen Cheng's lips curled up, but he didn't speak.

If it's too expensive, you should just not take it.

Xu Yan looked at Chen Cheng's intense gaze, swallowed, and made her decision.

"Um... um, would you like to come up to my place for a glass of water?"
