Chapter 272: The Sucker
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The mall was inevitably crowded on the weekend.
The more expensive the area got, the fewer people shopped there. However, Zhao Yanzi specifically dragged Hao Ren to those areas.
Hao Ren’s wasn’t broke, but he was still astonished to see the tags that showed tens of thousands of yuan.
It was surely not easy to hold on to Zhao Yanzi’s little hand.
Zhao Yanzi dragged Hao Ren around the marble area and set her eyes on a fabulous princess dress at last, “I want to try this one on.”
Hao Ren went over to check out the price instead of the material.
“Geez, 6500 yuan.”
“It’s on sale now. Only 3500 yuan,” the saleswoman came over and said to Hao Ren.
Zhao Yanzi took the hanger out and handed it to the saleswoman. “It looks gorgeous. I’ll try it on.”
“This dress… Can it even be worn in public?” Hao Ren looked at the fancy cake dress with so many layers to it. The royal palace style didn’t seem like something that should appear on the street.
The saleswoman could tell that they were young, and she wasn’t sure if they could afford it. But she still took the dress out for Zhao Yanzi since she wanted to try it on.
Zhao Yanzi hugged the fluffy dress cheerfully and walked into the fitting room.
Hao Ren saw how excited she was and remembered that he never bought her a lot of gifts before; he even forgot to buy her a birthday gift. He decided to buy the dress for her if she really liked it although it was pretty expensive.
Zhao Yanzi changed into the dress from her jeans after a few minutes and walked out of the fitting room.
The long princess dress almost reached the marble floor, and the bright light s.h.i.+ned on the dress, making Zhao Yanzi look even more glamorous.
“Attending a ball? So pretty…” the saleswoman praised sincerely.
Zhao Yanzi spun in front of the mirror two times, looking satisfied as well.
Her tight, thin sweater made her youthful shape stand out, and the long elegant dress made her look taller.
“Ok, I’ll take it!” Zhao Yanzi was very a.s.sertive.
“I’ll pay with my card.” Hao Ren took his credit card out of his wallet and handed it to the saleswoman.
She didn’t expect them actually to purchase the dress. She was stunned for a bit before taking the card and smiling. “Hehe, you are so nice to your little sister.”
“Little sister…” Hao Ren didn’t know what to say.
“One second, we need to pick a jacket.” Zhao Yanzi’s eyes scanned between the racks, “A western-style jacket.”
Hao Ren got nervous. “One more?”
The saleswoman got excited again. “Western-style jacket? For what kind of event?”
Zhao Yanzi bit her finger as she scanned. “I need a costume for my play…”
“Romeo and Juliet?” the saleswoman asked.
“Um…” Zhao Yanzi nodded shyly.
“Oh, I was wondering why you wanted to get a Western-style jacket,” she led Zhao Yanzi into the fancy formal clothes area.
Hao Ren followed closely after Zhao Yanzi. “Romeo and Juliet? How come you didn’t tell me about it?” he asked.
“Why do I have to tell you?” Zhao Yanzi glimpsed at Hao Ren.
“Um…” Hao Ren didn’t know how to answer.
“This jacket matches the dress perfectly,” the saleswoman said to Zhao Yanzi in front of a gorgeous formal jacket.
Hao Ren once again was shocked when he saw the price tag. “8300 yuan…”
“This one is on sale as well. It’s only 6800 yuan now.” The pretty saleswoman smiled at Hao Ren cheerfully.
“I’ll try it on.” Zhao Yanzi wasn’t worried about the money at all. She grabbed the jacket and walked to the fitting room.
Soon enough, when Zhao Yanzi got out of the fitting room in the formal jacket, her entire temperament changed again; a bit of mystery was added.
“Haha, so pretty,” the saleswoman struck while the iron was hot. In other words, she was looting a burning house. She stared at Zhao Yanzi’s sneakers and said, “It seems like we haven’t got a pair of matching shoes yet. Why don’t you get a pair of pretty milky white high heels? It would look so beautiful on you, and it is only 3999 yuan now!
Zhao Yanzi looked and Hao Ren and thought for a bit before she said to her, “It’s ok. This is good enough for now. I’ll go get changed while you wrap it up for me.”
After half a minute, she got out of the fitting room in her original outfit.
Hao Ren didn’t expect to spend over ten thousand yuan by going shopping with Zhao Yanzi; her spending ability was absolutely horrifying.
“It’s ok! I already saved you from a pair of shoes!” Zhao Yanzi stuffed the bags of her dress and jacket into Hao Ren’s hands after she noticed his sorrow face. Then, she held onto his arm and left this high-end store on the top floor of the mall; a store whose name Hao Ren hadn’t even heard of.
“Hey! When is the play you mentioned?” Hao Ren pulled on her smooth hand a little to slow her down.
“Tuesday evening,” Zhao Yanzi said lightly.
“Next week?” Hao Ren asked.
“Of, course!” Zhao Yanzi said slowly but sternly as she stared into Hao Ren’s eyes.
“Can I come and watch?” Hao Ren inquired again.
“Whatever you want,” Zhao Yanzi answered absentmindedly as she walked in front with one hand lightly dragging Hao Ren.
Hao Ren looked at her as she walked. He knew that she was only too shy to invite him to see her play. However, she secretly wanted him to come, so she dragged him to shop for stage costumes. It was just a different way of delivering the message.
Zhao Yanzi sure wouldn’t spend other people’s money randomly; she only took the allowance from her uncle. As for the gifts from the guys who were interested in her, she threw them all away. Otherwise, as popular as she was, she could have had many rich guys spending their money on her as long as she told them to.
She walked cheerfully in her sneakers, skipping from step to step.
Since Zhao Yanzi said so, Hao Ren definitely would be going to see her play. He knew that all the top-tier middle schools would arrange for plays, and Romeo and Juliet was the most common play.
The girl who played Juliet would usually be the most popular and prettiest girl in school. Zhao Yanzi was chosen to play Juliet, and it demonstrated how popular she was at school.
“The school’s costumes are dirty and ripped, so I wanted to buy a new one,” Zhao Yanzi explained quietly as they walked.
Hao Ren could imagine how beautiful Zhao Yanzi would look in the brand-new outfit on the stage in front of the entire school.
He now understood why Zhao Yanzi was pretty tired lately; it turned out that she had been practicing for the play.
“Who is playing Romeo?” Hao Ren asked in a low voice as he squeezed her hand.
Zhao Yanzi turned around and rolled her eyes at Hao Ren. “You don’t know him.”
However, when she turned back around to hold the handrail of the escalator, she felt the sweetness in her heart.
