Ch5

He looked extraordinarily elegant in a black suit with a purple tie, which was clearly bespoke and completely encircled his bulging muscles. So much so that the first thing that comes to mind when looking at his handsome face, carved like an ice sculpture, will be that this man is too extraordinary to be human.

But of course, Bai Yulan wasn't included in all of this. She tossed the man's appearance aside and suddenly remembered that she had read a news report that this set she had worn at Bai Meixie's wedding in the past had been given to her at the engagement ceremony by the Chu family.

Seeing that the man's gaze was on the black bag she was holding in her hands, Bai Yulan couldn't help but shake her head in her mind. So, this news is true. Chu Shingyi, who is the illegitimate son of the Chu family, was probably here to get the Purple passion set.

"I couldn't see the set I reserved in the showcase. May I ask where you are?"

His voice had a soothing magnetic effect, and even Bai Yulan couldn't help feeling a subconscious sense of security after listening to the man's speech.

Of course, after the initial shock, the store employee, who saw that the main customer had arrived, would suddenly not know what to do, so she stammered and started to stare at the bag in Bai Yulan's hand like crazy.

Even though Bai Yulan secretly lamented that she hadn't been a little faster, she instantly suppressed such feelings and decided to take the initiative into her own hands so as not to let the store employee expose her lie.

"Mr. Chu, hello I'm Bai Yulan. What a coincidence we met here. I think I just bought the necklace set you came for. If you want, I would like to sit outside and explain this matter to you in detail."

Seeing the young girl rushing forward, the store employee was frankly relieved. Of course, Bai Yulan only knew that she was doing it because she had to. Therefore, she had an innocent and slightly embarrassed expression on her face as she took Chu Shingyi out and thought about closing it by telling him another story as well.

Chu Shingyi stared at the young girl's face for a while and said something that surprised both Bai Yulan and the store employee.

"Since the Purple passion set was taken by Ms. Bai. Then I ask you to prepare me the second most expensive set in this store."

So the man took his eyes off the girl and began to look ahead.

Bai Yulan, who had already contemplated several possible scenarios in her mind, could not help but be surprised that things had been settled so easily. Of course, almost reflexively, the embarrassed expression on her face changed into a grateful smile.

"Mr. Chu, then with your permission, I'm leaving first."

Turning to her and slightly nodding his head, Chu Shingyi then turned around again and did not pay attention to the young girl again.

Bai Yulan, who came out of the Black Orchid store, walked for a few minutes and couldn't help but wipe the sweat off her forehead.

'Something has just happened that I got over really cheap.'

After thinking about this incident and Chu Shingyi for a while in her mind, she entered the first department store she passed in order to realize the main reason she had come here.

Of course, she proceeded directly to the section for banquet clothes and began to browse through the elaborately designed and sewn dresses for such evenings. Her white nightgown was still on, and it would be better if she got rid of it as soon as possible.

Normally, in such a large store, she would be considered strange and perhaps asked to go out, but the shop staff, observing the Black Orchid jewelery bag she was holding and the noble temperament of the girl, surrounded Bai Yulan with smiles from their experience, not daring to be rude.

Without any hindrance, Bai Yulan casually glanced at the clothes. After a while, she narrowed her options down to two.

The first was a long white dress that would make her look like a swan, the color she had planned to buy on her way here.

The second one, out of no account, suddenly caught Bai Yulan's attention. It was a dress, almost the same purple color as the necklace she had just bought, with a long slit on the leg and a considerable cleavage at the front.

Of course, both of these dresses that Bai Yulan chose were designed to require the wearer to be tall. Luckily, she had no problem carrying these dresses with her height of 178 cm, which she inherited a large percentage of from her mother's family.

Bai Yulan was not an indecisive person. Therefore, after a two-minute plus and minus calculation, she decided on the purple dress, and with the help of the store staff, she chose a shoe suitable for the dress and entered the dressing room.

The store employees, who had no more hope than the young girl who entered the cabinet in a nightgown, still kept their professional expressions on their faces due to their job. But when she came out of the cabin, the young girl seemed to be a completely different person. In fact, all of the employees and customers were so surprised that they couldn't help but open their mouths to the ground.

The previous busy and noisy store was suddenly quiet.
