2: NORDSROM RACK
Luo Ruoxin stayed like that for a while.
Mulling over the reason why she had to endure all of this humiliation and unfair treatment of her family towards her.
She inhaled deeply to calm her nerves but that only made her cough hard instead.
Because apparently she also accidentally inhaled some of the Frappe that was spilled on her face.
"Are you okay???"
Out from the blinding ray of the sun that hung high above the bright sky, Luo Ruoxin saw a face.
It was the face of the most handsome man in the town. No other than, Mu Jiannian, himself
"OMG! I need to include this on my vlog...:
Luo Mimi said as she took her phone from her sling bag.
She even made a lame attempt to fixed her hair although the truth was it did nothing to change how she looked at all.
Then after positioning herself on her best angle, she clicked the red button on the screen to start recording the video
"Hello everyone. Your pretty Princess Mimi walked right into this humiliating situation."
She said in the introduction before she focused the camera on Luo Ruoxin's mess.
At the same time, Mu Jiannian offered his hand to Luo Ruoxin to help her up and Luo Ruoxin happily accepted it.
"Oh.. I- I am so sorry..."
She blurted out as soon as she realized that she unknowingly stained Mu Jiannian's white rubber shoes.
Meanwhile, her step-sister, Luo Mimi still went on narrating her own version of the story in front of her camera for her vlog's sake.
"Some clumsy girl threw her drinks all over the gorgeous Mu Jiannian..."
Luo Mimi went on whilst Luo Ruoxin felt like she was at an entirely different universe at the moment as she watched Mu Jiannian's lips opened and closed in slow motion.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt???"
Mu Jiannian asked Luo Ruoxin with eyes full of concern.
"Those eyes could not be fake right??? Is he wearing contact lenses.. They were beautiful.."
Luo Ruoxin said inside her head, but outside she was in a complete daze.
"Hey, miss. Are you okay???"
Mu Jiannian asked again, this time however he put his hand over Luo Ruoxin's shoulder and that pulled Luo Ruoxin's soul back to reality.
"NO!"
She blurted out..
"No???"
"No. Y-ye- YES!...No... I- I- I mean... Yes, I'm fine... Thank you!"
Luo Ruoxin said stuttering as she hastily fixed herself but she did not notice that there was a plastic straw that got stuck on her hair.
In the end, it was Mu Jiannian who removed it.
"Thank you..."
She said timidly this time.
"Owww... Such a gentleman. He truly is. Mu Jiannian gets top place this week again at your pretty princess Mimi's heart.."
Luo Mimi said as she winked in front of her camera.
She repositioned her phone to make her face the focus of the camera.
"Mu Jiannian! What happen???!"
When Xiao Ya noticed the commotion, she immediately went to check what was going on.
She was surprised when she found out that the center of attention was actually her boyfriend with some random girl playing as a damsel in distress at the streetwalk.
"OH, MY GAWD!!!"
She gasped when she saw Mu Jiannian's limited edition shoe got stained.
"You totally ruined his shoe!!!!"
Xiao Ya bought it as a gift for Brian so it was obvious that she was enraged to see how the shoe ended up.
"Xiao Ya .. I'm fine---
Mu Jiannian said but Xiao Ya cut him off..
"No! It is not fine!"
"I am so, so sorry... Uhmm... I can replace them.."
Luo Ruoxin offered although her heart was bleeding as she said that.
Because there was a high chance that she might use up all of her savings if she would go and buy that same pair of shoes.
"They don't sell couture at Nordstrom Rack, sweetie.."
Xiao Ya said kindly, but the edge of sarcasm on her voice was not that hard to notice.
"Come on..."
She added as she pulled Mu Jiannian away from the crowd.
"I- I'm so sorry.."
Mu Jiannian's face was deeply apologetic but before he could do a proper apology for his girlfriend's uncomely manner, Xiao Ya already pulled him away completely.
"Whilst this hot mess gets the loser of the week award.."
Luo Mimi concluded her vlog with that as she zoomed in and focused her camera at Luo Ruoxin's sorry state.
