Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Shopping malls in the capital.

In a unique brand men's clothing store, a man is leading a woman as they carefully select clothes. The woman occasionally asks for the man's opinion, but he simply shakes his head.

From a distance, they really do look like a loving couple, like a wife choosing clothes for her husband—a very warm and happy scene.

However, the image only remained frozen for a few minutes.

After several items were rejected, the woman finally lost her patience and said with an expression that said, "I already told you I don't know how to choose. I've never bought clothes for a boy before. You don't like the colors I chose anyway. You can do it yourself. I'll pay."

She had never bought clothes for men before, so how would she know how to choose? Her own clothes were all bought by her aunt and Xixi. She had only just learned how to dress girls, so how could she know how to dress boys? It really stumped her.

Upon hearing that she had never bought clothes for a boy before, he automatically assumed that he was the first, which put him in a good mood. He smiled and said, "I'll pick something that matches you."

The clothes she just chose were all a bit too old for her; they didn't have that youthful energy and didn't match her attire, making her look much older.

It gave him the feeling of an old cow eating young grass.

On the other hand, the woman was dressed very youthfully and energetically today, wearing wide-leg jeans, a black knit top, and a white suit. Even her hair was styled so nicely. However, he didn't recognize the color of her hair. He remembered that it was black two years ago, but she changed her hair color after going abroad.

If a woman dressed like this two years ago, would he have realized his feelings sooner? Back then, she dressed very casually every day, and he never thought he would be attracted to a woman like that.

It was so ordinary that I was surprised that my grandfather liked it so much.

His thoughts drifted, but his gaze remained fixed on her, lost in thought. "Yao Yao."

The woman wore light makeup, her features were exquisitely drawn, her skin was as white as snow, and she looked intently at Ji Hancheng. "What's wrong?"

Ji Hancheng wanted to say that you were dressed too well and too young, and that you didn't match me, but in the end he changed his words to, "It's okay, help me pick out some casual and youthful outfits."

Tang Junyao understood it to mean: So the reason he didn't want this or that piece of clothing earlier was because he felt he was too old?

She gave an awkward smile. "Although there is a significant age difference between us, you don't need to feel inferior."

Ji Hancheng felt a pang of heartache and gritted his teeth, saying, "Do you mean I'm old?" You don't know whether I'm old or not, you've already tried it.

Tang Junyao suppressed a laugh and shrugged, as if there was nothing she could do. "It's a fact that you're older than me, and I can't change that. But you wear black all the time, which makes you look like a night owl. It makes you seem more mature. You could try changing your color occasionally." She didn't mention "older" anymore, but instead used the word "mature."

Ji Hancheng affectionately pinched Tang Junyao's soft cheek and said in a deliberately fierce tone, "One day you'll think I'm very young. Just you wait."

Why did she feel a little embarrassed by the meaning of "waiting"? It didn't seem so pure. It's true that spending too much time with this man automatically corrupts one's thoughts.

A cocky voice interrupted her thoughts, "Oh, what a coincidence, Young Master Ji, you're shopping too? That's unprecedented!"

Lu Jinnan took a minute to process the news that Ji Hancheng was shopping. Before coming in, he had taken a picture of Ji Hancheng and sent it to Han Yue with the caption, "Surprised? Unexpected? Young Master Ji is shopping."

Ji Hancheng didn't even need to turn around to know whose disdainful voice it was. Who else could it be but Lu Jinnan's? It had such an annoying tone, and he didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

When Tang Junyao saw that it was Lu Jinnan and Su Xue, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. What a coincidence! They had never made plans together before, so it was really fate that they ended up shopping together.

Upon recognizing her best friend, Su Xue quickly pulled her hand away from Lu Jinnan's and ran to her friend, affectionately linking arms with her. "Are you accompanying Young Master Ji to buy clothes?"

Tang Junyao nodded, then turned to Su Xue and asked, "What about you? Have you calmed down, or are you going on a shopping spree to vent your anger?"

Su Xue smoothed her hair over her shoulders and said cheerfully, "I had no choice. Some people insisted that I help them spend some of their money, saying they couldn't carry any more. How could I, a kind-hearted girl, stand idly by?"

Tang Junyao chuckled. She was trying to appease Su Xue indirectly. This young master Lu really knew how to handle things. The key was that Su Xue fell for it, because she did indeed like designer bags and clothes.

That really does suit my taste.

Unexpectedly, Ji Hancheng, who had been silent and cold-faced, shamelessly said, "Since Young Master Lu's card is full, I'll do a good deed and pay for our bill too. Yao Yao is picking out clothes. It's rare for Young Master Lu to be in such a good mood today, so we should know how to play along."

Tang Junyao wanted to say, "Could you be any more shameless? He's trying to win over his girlfriend by apologizing with money. What are you meddling in?"

How can you make taking advantage of someone sound so noble? Should I send you a banner? You sound like you've done some great deed.

Ji Hancheng completely ignored Tang Junyao's winks and added in an annoying way, "Miss Su, please pick one out for Young Master Lu too. His outfit is too flashy, it'll be hard for him to hide."

Tang Junyao squinted and pinched Ji Hancheng on the back. This guy really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics. Can you just expose something like this? Doesn't Xiaoxue have any dignity? His emotional intelligence is really lacking.

Ji Hancheng felt a slight pain in his lower back from being pinched, but his expression remained calm, as if he had only been stung by a mosquito.

These words successfully reminded Su Xue of being caught red-handed that morning, her ears turning slightly red. She pinched Lu Jinnan hard on the back to vent her anger.

Lu Jinnan, unlike Ji Hancheng, couldn't bear the pain. He immediately jumped up, "Ouch! What's wrong? It hurts so much!"

Su Xue said in a serious tone, "There's a mosquito, I'll kill it for you."

Lu Jinnan: I suspect I am that mosquito, and Su Xue wants to strangle me.

Thanks to Ji Shao's reminder, Su Xue thought it best to buy Lu Jinnan a black one, or at least the same color as a tree trunk, so it would be easier to hide him.

Without hesitation, she immediately started picking out clothes for Lu Jinnan, focusing on black and dark-colored items.

On the contrary, Tang Junyao felt that Ji Hancheng always wearing black made him look lifeless, so she chose white and gray, fearing that Ji Hancheng wouldn't like overly bright colors.

Ji Hancheng looked at the colors in the woman's hand, a hint of pleasure appearing in his eyes. Lu Jinnan, however, turned pale and said with displeasure, "Damn it, you've already tricked me, but do you think it's appropriate for me to have my girlfriend choose the colors for a funeral?"

Ji Hancheng felt that Lu Jinnan was implying that he was going to funerals every day, and said irritably, "Isn't this making it easier for you to do bad things? You don't want to be caught every time, but I have no objection if you like to broadcast things live."

Lu Jinnan replied instantly, "Do you think everyone enjoys watching others kiss as much as you do?"

Ji Hancheng leaned lazily against the door of the fitting room, his hands in his pockets, his tone indifferent yet with a hint of kindness, "I don't like it, but I'm afraid your girlfriend will die."

The store manager walked over with a smile and said respectfully, "Gentlemen, please come over here to change your clothes."

To reach the position of store manager, one must be a shrewd person. From the moment these people came in, she knew they were all rich and powerful. The men were dressed in designer brands, as were the women. Especially the woman in the suit, who was dressed entirely in custom-made clothes, which didn't seem to be from a department store in the capital. After so many years as a sales assistant, she still had a good eye for clothes.

Lu Jinnan reluctantly took the black shirt and brown inner layer that Su Xue had chosen into the fitting room. He had no desire to wear them at all. Could he not wear them? It seemed not, because he was going to be fired. His primary goal today was to appease Miss Su.

Oh well, I'll just wear it. At worst, I can hide it in the closet later.

Ji Hancheng was happy and quickly changed his clothes. Tang Junyao's estimate was quite accurate. The clothes fit perfectly. The white hoodie made the man look like a teenager. He did look much younger. It really is true that clothes make the man.

It was a stark contrast to his previous suits.

Tang Junyao picked out another pair of jeans for him and tentatively asked, "Will you wear these?" Because in her memory, this man always wore suits, and she had never seen him wear jeans before.

However, I did see him wearing sweatpants two years ago; that was the only time they ran together.

Ji Hancheng glanced at Tang Junyao's jeans, then his gaze fell on the jeans in her hand. He noticed they were the same color, and a smile appeared on his face. "Wear them."

Su Xue stared wide-eyed at her best friend, as if to say, "You're really something! Only you can get Master Ji to wear these and still feel so good about it."

Tang Junyao feigned innocence, insisting that she hadn't forced him. "Big sister, if I said he asked to wear these himself, would you believe me?"

Su Xue shook her head, indicating her disbelief.

Tang Junyao sighed and said, "Before you came, I did pick out a suit for him, but he thought it was too old and that I was too young. He asked me to pick something more youthful and energetic for him. So, if he wants something youthful and energetic, shouldn't I pick these for him?"

Su Xue: "............." Is Young Master Ji feeling threatened because Yao Yao is young and beautiful? Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual.

After waiting for a while, Ji Hancheng came out again wearing jeans. He looked sunny and handsome, like a college student, and you couldn't tell his age at all. Su Xue praised him without reservation: "Putting everything else aside, our young master Ji is definitely handsome enough to be called handsome."

Tang Junyao agreed with this point; the man in front of the mirror was indeed very handsome, and her heart skipped a beat, much to her dismay.

She suspects that she fell for him two years ago because he was attractive.

She approached with a smile. "It's fine. Do you like it? If you really don't, don't force yourself. Dressing should be about making yourself happy."

Ji Hancheng looked at himself in the mirror and felt quite comfortable. "They're all nice. I like everything you picked out. Can you pick a few more for me? I can change into them when we go out together."

Tang Junyao asked suspiciously, "Are you serious? Green, yellow, pink, anything is fine?"

Ji Hancheng thought about it and realized that these colors seemed a bit hard to accept. "I can accept green, as long as it's not something I wear on my head."

"Forget it, let's not make such a big leap all at once," Tang Junyao decided, choosing a light-colored option for Ji Hancheng instead of opting for a bright color.

Su Xue suspected that Lu Jinnan was asleep inside, so she knocked on the fitting room door and said impatiently, "Big brother, I asked you to try on clothes, not to sleep. Are you planning to spend the night in there?"

Lu Jinnan's voice came from inside, "Coming, coming."

Pushing open the fitting room door, Lu Jinnan looked annoyed. "Grandma, can we change the color? I'm afraid I can't pull it off."

He never wears black shirts, but he has to wear a jacket to work. However, he only owns one black suit; the rest are silver or white.

Lu Jinnan felt that only bright colors could reflect his temperament.

Su Xue also noticed that he didn't look very good in dark colors. Having gotten used to seeing him in other colors, the sudden change to black gave him an indescribable sense of gloom.

Su Xue compromised, saying, "How about we keep the black shirt and buy another one in a bright color?"

Lu Jinnan still disliked his black shirt and tried to resist further, but Su Xue saw through his thoughts and urged, "Hurry up, I haven't bought it yet. Are you here to apologize to me?"

With a determined look, she said, "Yes, absolutely. Pick any item you like, I won't even let you try them on, let's go right now."

Later, Ji Hancheng carried a large bag of clothes and said to the store manager, "He'll pay." Then he strode out of the store with Tang Junyao in his arms.

Lu Jinnan cursed at Ji Hancheng's retreating figure, then reluctantly went to pay. He hadn't even tried on the clothes Su Xue had picked out for him; he just paid for them directly.

The store manager and sales assistant respectfully said goodbye to the four people and welcomed them to come again next time.

After the four people left, the sales assistant asked the store manager in confusion, "Store manager, why didn't you let me go up and help them pick out clothes?"

The store manager patiently explained, "Didn't you see that both of those guys had their girlfriends with them? The one who was smiling was easy to talk to, but the one who served cold noodles would make you stay away even if you went there."

The store manager added, "For customers like these, as long as they don't call us, we just stay at the counter, swipe their cards for them, and say goodbye at the end. We don't go up and bother them."

The sales assistant nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood.
