Chapter 120: A Couple's Affection, Shared by Four
“Clerk, how much is this piece of clothing?”
A delicate young saleswoman dressed in a black uniform approached, smiling warmly.
“Dear customer, this is one of our new arrivals. The current price is eighty-six thousand, and with the discount, it’s eighty-three thousand. What do you think?”
Those who have worked long in such a store naturally possess keen skills and professional decorum.
Even if someone came in ragged, they would never be treated disrespectfully.
As for the crude notion that buying clothes leads to being looked down upon—that simply doesn’t happen here.
Though Chen Luo was dressed plainly, anyone could tell his girlfriend was either wealthy or from a noble background. Such an aura isn’t something one can fake; it shines through in every gesture.
“All right, help me pick a bag that matches this outfit.”
“Forget it, I’ll find one myself.”
“Come on, Wan’er, you try this on first, and we’ll keep looking.”
Grasping Wen Wan’s hand, Chen Luo smiled and gently chattered as they turned.
“Let me tell you, your usual clothes are too serious. You’re only a few years older than me; this is the perfect time to dress up properly.”
“Look, this T-shirt and shorts are great—youthful and vibrant. Try them on, you’ll look amazing.”
Seeing Chen Luo hold up a fitted T-shirt in front of her, Wen Wan paused, suddenly realizing she’d never worn anything like this before.
Raised within her family’s strict teachings of etiquette, she was accustomed to donning dignified, appropriate attire—usually professional wear or formal dress, rarely casual outfits.
Her family’s rules had been like chains, binding every aspect of her life without respite.
“Come on, don’t think about saving money for your husband. Hurry and try it on—I’m looking forward to it.”
Before Wen Wan could reply, Chen Luo, beaming, gently pushed her toward the fitting room.
Such an ordinary date felt surprisingly delightful.
“All right, all right, I’ll try it on now.”
Wen Wan took the clothing and turned, casting Chen Luo a playful glance.
“Want to come in and try it on together?”
“Uh… I’d love to, but the circumstances won’t allow it!”
Chen Luo smiled wryly; he definitely didn’t want to become the lead in anyone’s drama.
“Hehe, no peeking!”
Rarely showing such youthful energy and mischief, Wen Wan made a funny face before swiftly slipping into the fitting room.
That mischievous expression was so unlike her usual demeanor that Chen Luo was left speechless.
Outside the store, four people had seen this scene, and among them, Ye Lina’s reaction was the strongest.
“Wait, is that really Wen Wan? That crazy woman?”
Pointing at the fitting room, Ye Lina stared at Ye Linqian, her pupils dilating in shock.
Was this the cold, ruthless woman once known as the madwoman among the capital’s elite?
Can love really transform a madwoman into a lovestruck, delicate girl?
Is the power of love truly that immense?
Or is it just that dating Chen Luo has caused such a change?
Ye Linqian quickly came to her senses and pointed at Chen Luo.
“No, sis! Why are we just here watching them enjoy their romance? Shouldn’t you be going over to say hello?”
“Huh? You want me to be a third wheel? They’re having their moment!”
“Then let’s just leave. What are we doing here?”
“No, I want to watch a little longer, for tomorrow’s preparation!”
Ye Linqian rolled her eyes dramatically. Sis, can you not be so awkward? If you want to watch Chen Luo, just watch—no need to pretend it’s for some noble cause.
Meanwhile, Tang Xiwei’s hand gripping the railing was veined and tense, her gaze toward Chen Luo filled with murderous intent.
“Chen Luo! How generous of you!”
“You’re just an ordinary kid, yet you spend eighty thousand on clothes for Wen Wan. Do your parents know how generous you are?”
Nearby, Lin Tingting looked puzzled, staring oddly at Tang Xiwei.
“Uh, Xiwei, aren’t you mad over the wrong thing? How much Chen Luo spends on Wen Wan’s clothes is his business. Why do you care?”
“How is it not my business?”
Tang Xiwei growled, her face darkening.
“When Chen Luo pursued me, he only spent a few hundred on clothes!”
“Now he splurges eighty thousand on Wen Wan! That’s eighty thousand! If we graduate and start working, how long would it take us to save that much?”
“But he’s her boyfriend now. I don’t quite get why you’re so angry.”
Hearing this, Tang Xiwei exploded, grabbing Lin Tingting’s shoulder.
“What to understand? Nothing to understand!”
“Chen Luo is a scumbag! So stingy with me before, now so lavish with another woman. He’s an unforgivable scoundrel!”
“All that money! All those clothes were mine! Should have been mine!”
Ah, so that’s what she was angry about.
Earlier, Lin Tingting had agreed with Tang Xiwei’s view of Chen Luo as a sycophant, but now it was clear Tang Xiwei had lost her mind.
He was indeed your sycophant before, but you rejected him. Now that he’s successful with money in hand, you’re complaining about not spending enough on you back then.
That’s not unreasonable; that’s just twisted logic!
“Well, uh, Xiwei, don’t be angry. After all, you’re enemies now; no need to be so worked up over him.”
“Shh!”
Tang Xiwei suddenly covered Lin Tingting’s mouth and glanced inside the store.
The fitting room door opened again, revealing a pair of slender, long legs that made one exclaim they were longer than life itself.
Wen Wan slowly stepped out, stunning everyone—including Tang Xiwei.
The fitted white T-shirt paired with denim shorts looked simple but perfectly showcased Wen Wan’s exquisite, devilish figure.
Her hair tied into two ponytails, mixing sweetness with a commanding aura, creating a striking contrast that made her beauty seem almost unreal.
“Well? Husband, do I look good?”
“This ponytail style I just searched for on my phone. Said it goes well with this outfit.”
Before Chen Luo could answer, the four women outside nodded in unison.
Damn! As women, they hated to admit it, but Wen Wan’s look was truly flawless!
We’re utterly outclassed!
Is this what they call irresistible charm, especially to one’s devoted partner?
At that moment, Chen Luo said nothing more and stepped forward.
Before Wen Wan could react, he embraced her tightly.
“Beautiful, truly beautiful. This is how you should be. Remember to wear this in the bedroom too.”
“Okay, no problem.”
“If only I’d taken out a loan sooner to buy you clothes like this, hehe.”
“Dead meat!”
Wen Wan laughed, resting her head on Chen Luo’s shoulder, clearly enjoying his praise.
“All right, pack everything up. Let’s check out and head to the next store.”
Hearing Chen Luo’s words, the four outside panicked immediately.
Ah! Don’t come out yet!
