"Try this one." Liu Zhixian took off her suit jacket and handed it to Ye Heng, her eyes full of anticipation.

Ye Heng took it, glanced at it, and said, "I haven't tried on clothes of this color before."

"Trust me, you'll look great in it." Liu Zhixian pushed him toward the fitting room.

A moment later, the fitting room door opened, and Ye Heng came out.

Liu Zhixian's eyes lit up.

The burgundy suit fit Ye Heng's figure perfectly, making his tall and straight posture even more outstanding.

This color, far from appearing abrupt or eerie, actually adds a touch of calm and understated nobility to him. It blends strangely with his own calm yet subtly sharp temperament, creating a captivating charm.

Even the female shop assistant next to him, who had been indifferent the whole time, was stunned at this moment and had to admit that the man looked like a completely different person in this outfit.

"This is the one." Liu Zhixian nodded in satisfaction, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration and joy.

She turned to the female shop assistant: "Please wrap it up and swipe my card."

The female shop assistant came to her senses, and the bitterness in her heart intensified, but she still had to do business.

Just as she was about to take the card from Liu Zhixian, a voice came from the side.

"What happened? Why weren't you notified that there were guests?"

A man in his thirties, dressed in a smart suit and with his hair neatly combed, strode over. His name tag read "Manager: Chen Feng".

He had come out of the back office specifically because he heard that a customer wanted to buy that expensive burgundy suit—one of the store's signature styles.

However, when he saw Liu Zhixian, he stopped abruptly, his eyes widening instantly.

Liu Zhixian was facing him sideways. Her perfect profile, elegant neck, and the charming yet aloof aura she exuded made it almost impossible for him to look away.

He had seen many beautiful women, but none were as captivating as the one before him.

Then, his gaze fell on the male companion next to Liu Zhixian.

When Chen Feng saw Ye Heng, and then looked at the black card in Liu Zhixian's hand that looked like it had a high credit limit, a thought quickly formed in his mind—this is definitely a gigolo being kept by a rich woman!

Jealousy and a strange sense of superiority welled up inside me.

Chen Feng straightened his tie, put on what he thought was his most appropriate and charming smile, strode forward, deliberately ignoring Ye Heng, and extended his hand directly to Liu Zhixian:

"Hello, beautiful lady! I'm Chen Feng, the manager of this store. It's a pleasure to serve you. It seems you're very satisfied with our 'Twilight Essence' series suit? You have excellent taste! This suit is handcrafted by a renowned Italian designer and is a limited edition worldwide. It perfectly suits your... friend's style."

He paused subtly on the word "friend" in his speech, looking intently at Liu Zhixian, trying to demonstrate his professionalism and charm.

"If you have any other needs, or would like to see our more private VIP customized services, please feel free to contact me anytime, and I will personally introduce them to you."

His intentions were practically written on his face; his eager gaze swept between Liu Zhixian and Ye Heng, the contrast obvious. The female shop assistant next to him also wore an expression of anticipation.

Liu Zhixian's smile faded. She slowly withdrew her hand from handing over the card, not shaking Chen Feng's outstretched hand, but gently taking Ye Heng's arm beside her. She looked up at Chen Feng, her tone calm and even, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible coldness:

"Manager Chen, is that so? We won't need the service. My boyfriend looks great in this outfit, so we'll take it. Please settle the bill quickly."

Liu Zhixian said "boyfriend" very naturally.

Her gaze toward Chen Feng was calm, yet it carried a condescending scrutiny—the unintentional majesty of someone long accustomed to a position of power.

Chen Feng's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on his face instantly vanished.

He hadn't expected this woman to be so disrespectful.

Other shop assistants and a few scattered customers were casting curious glances at them.

Chen Feng withdrew his hand, his face darkening, a hint of anger and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"Madam, I'm so sorry. I just remembered that the 'Twilight Essence' suit you've been eyeing... has already been reserved by a VIP customer, but we haven't had time to put up the reservation sign yet. According to regulations, reserved items cannot be sold to other customers, I'm very sorry."

As he spoke, his gaze deliberately swept over Ye Heng's burgundy suit, then glanced at Liu Zhixian, a faint sneer playing on his lips.

This suit is indeed a limited edition, but the so-called pre-order is completely fictitious and is just an excuse he made up on the spur of the moment.

Since this woman is so ungrateful, then he'll make sure she can't buy it! Let's see what that gigolo next to her can do.

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Liu Zhixian's beautiful eyes.

How could she, with her intelligence, not realize that this was Chen Feng's revenge after being rejected? A surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart. Liu Zhixian had roamed Jinling for many years; when had she ever suffered such low-class harassment?

What's more, it happened when she was overjoyed and wanted to buy Ye Heng a gift!

"Reservation?" Liu Zhixian released Ye Heng's hand, took half a step forward, her voice still pleasant, but tinged with coldness.

"Manager Chen, are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure." Chen Feng puffed out his chest, looking like he couldn't help.

"That's just how the store operates, there's nothing I can do about it. How about... you take a look at other styles? We have many nice ones..."

"Three times the price." Liu Zhixian interrupted him, too lazy to waste words, and used the simplest and most direct method.

A soft gasp rippled through the crowd, and even the female shop assistant's eyes widened in surprise.

Chen Feng was also stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Liu Zhixian to be so arrogant.

Three times the price... that's an astonishing figure. A suit that originally cost 100,000 can be sold for 300,000!

His heart skipped a beat, but then, looking at Liu Zhixian's stunning face and slender figure, a wicked thought mixed with anger at being slighted surged into his heart.

Money? He was certainly tempted, but at this moment he wanted to see this proud woman bow her head, and he wanted to... have her.

He suppressed his momentary hesitation, feigning regret as he shrugged, but his gaze lingered greedily on Liu Zhixian, and his tone became flippant:

"Madam, this isn't about the money. Rules are rules, and a reservation is a reservation. We can't break our promise to our customers."

He paused, leaned closer, and said in a voice barely audible to the three of them, "However... things are all possible. If you... would like to make a friend, for example, accompany me on a trip abroad to relax, just for a month."

"Maybe I can manage to persuade that VIP client to cancel the reservation and give you the suit? After all, beautiful things always deserve some...special effort, don't you think?"
