"Qianqian, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so impressive," Su Chen said, sitting at the dining table enjoying the breakfast made by Chen Qian.
The young girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, yet she could cook so well.
Almost as good as auntie.
"It's all thanks to mom's teachings. She told me that a woman must be virtuous," Chen Qian said with a sweet smile.
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Su Chen's gaze couldn't help but drift over to Lin Xi who was sitting opposite him eating breakfast.
"Soul! What are you looking at me for!" Lin Xi's pretty face flushed red, and she glared at him irritably.
"Because you're pretty," Su Chen chuckled.
Lin Xi was infuriated, as she could clearly tell from his expression that he was implying she wasn't virtuous enough.
Despite a little friction, the meal went relatively smoothly.
"Mr. Su, Qianqian is my dear sister. If you don't make her happy today, you'll see how I'll deal with you when I get back!" Before leaving, Lin Xi shook her fist at Su Chen and showed a vicious expression.
"Cough cough, don't worry, boss, I'll definitely take good care of your dear sister!" Su Chen said with a somewhat strange expression.
Hearing Lin Xi say that Chen Qian was her dear sister made him involuntarily think of the topic they discussed in the room yesterday.
It was simply too explosive, and he even managed to gain a little advantage.
After dinner, Chen Qian took the initiative to clean up the dishes and utensils.
Su Chen wanted to help, but Chen Qian hurriedly stopped him.
Although Lin Xi was very kind to her and her mother, she knew her place.
Her mother was just a servant in Lin Xi's family.
These things weren't meant for Su Chen to do.
Su Chen shook his head helplessly and let Chen Qian get busy.
And really, Chen Qian, so young, was so sensible it was heartbreaking.
Many girls, not to mention at seventeen or eighteen, even at twenty-seven or twenty-eight, might not do household chores.
Once everything was tidied up, the two of them headed out.
However, Su Chen felt that Chen Qian seemed preoccupied and somewhat distracted.
"Qianqian, do you have something on your mind?" Su Chen asked.
"Ah! No, nothing..." Chen Qian shook her head somewhat flustered.
This scene made Su Chen feel even more convinced that Chen Qian was troubled by something.
But since Chen Qian didn't want to talk about it, Su Chen felt it inappropriate to ask further.
Since it was a task entrusted by Lin Xi, Su Chen naturally wanted to do it well.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl is actually quite easy to please.
Treat her to a meal, go to a movie, then a round at the amusement park, and end with some shopping.
That would pretty much accomplish the mission.
Originally, shopping was the last step, but Su Chen noticed that the clothes Chen Qian was wearing were a bit old, so he decided to buy her a new outfit first.
After all, he wasn't heartbroken about using Lin Xi's card.
He directly took Chen Qian into a clothing store that looked quite upscale.
"Brother Su Chen, the stuff here is so expensive. Let's go to another store..." Chen Qian had a nervous look on her face when she saw the price tags on the clothes.
After all, she usually buys clothes that cost at most a few hundred yuan.
While the clothes here cost several thousand or even tens of thousands.
Although she knew Lin Xi was very wealthy, that was Lin Xi's money.
And her mother had always told her not to casually spend Lin Xi's money.
"Qianqian, your Sister Lin mentioned that if I don't make you happy today, she will deal with me when we get back home," Su Chen said with a wry face.
"Then, let's pick something cheaper?"
"What kind of price range is the beautiful young lady looking for?" The salesperson, a rather attractive young woman around twenty-three or twenty-four, asked.
However, her gaze at the two of them was not too friendly.
Chen Qian's attire was clearly very ordinary and inexpensive.
As for Su Chen, he always dressed very casually, and didn't look like someone wealthy.
It's impossible to afford anything here.
Originally, she didn't even want to ask, but out of professional courtesy, she still asked indifferently.
"Do you have any that are around a few hundred yuan each?" Chen Qian asked.
Items that cost a few hundred yuan each, she could accept.
"There are a few hundred yuan each!" The sales associate's face revealed a mocking smile.
"Then, please bring them over for me to try." Chen Qian didn't notice the playful expression on the sales associate's face and said cheerfully.
The sales associate snickered and then went to get it.
After about a little over a minute.
The sales associate came back.
"Here, the items that cost a few hundred." The sales associate tossed the items directly onto the counter.
It was actually a pair of socks.
"Huh? A pair of socks costs several hundred?" Chen Qian's eyes widened.
"What? Too expensive? If it's too expensive, you don't have to buy them. I think you'd be better off at the street stalls. After all, that suits your caliber." The sales associate said sarcastically.
As a sales associate in a designer clothing store, her judgment was naturally exceptional.
With just one glance, she could discern a person's identity and taste, and estimate the value of their attire.
Take Chen Qian, for example, obviously a schoolgirl.
The clothes on her, when added up, didn't exceed one thousand.
As for Su Chen.
He could be a small employee in a company, probably in sales given his attire.
Judging by his age, at best, he's a junior salesman.
And believe it or not, this female sales associate really had a keen eye.
She guessed the identity of the two perfectly.
Schoolgirl plus salesman.
Estimating a salesman's monthly income of ten thousand is already an overestimation for Su Chen.
Hence, she concluded that these two people could not possibly afford to shop here.
Naturally, she didn't show them any pleasant attitude.
Su Chen took in the sales associate's condescending look but this situation was all too common, nothing surprising.
Therefore, he wasn't angry and merely said indifferently: "We want to buy clothes, not socks."
"Buy clothes? With you looking like that, you can't even afford socks and you want to buy clothes!" The sales associate said with disdain.
Su Chen had a good temper, but that didn't mean he was without temper.
He immediately said: "Who told you I couldn't afford it?"
And then he slapped his credit card on the counter.
"I will take three pairs of such socks!"
"That's a total of one thousand and eighty, are you sure you want to buy them?" The sales associate couldn't believe her eyes, doubting that Su Chen, with his level of spending, would willingly pay a thousand for three pairs of socks.
"Just swipe it if I tell you to!"
The sales associate swiped the card.
While swiping the card, she still looked at Su Chen.
Originally, she thought Su Chen was just trying to show off in front of his girlfriend.
But then she noticed, after swiping one thousand, Su Chen didn't even blink.
Could it be that he's a rich second generation pretending to be a pauper?
After Su Chen made his purchase, the sales associate's attitude naturally improved a lot.
"Sir, is there anything else you need?"
Su Chen nodded, then pointed at the clothes hanging on the wall.
"That one, bring it down for me."
"And that one, bring it down for me too."
"And these, bring them all down for me!"
