The packed clothes were quickly sent to the Yuan Family Mansion in an organized manner.
After walking for a while, Mu Chenyan became somewhat weary of the crowd and rowdiness. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly before quietly saying, “I think we’ve probably bought the necessary things already. This place is kind of noisy so let’s go home?”
Yuan Xuan looked at the list and realized that the formal dresses could be tailored by the Yuan family’s specialized designers and delivered to their house, hence it was unnecessary to buy them here!
However, the formal attire to be worn during c.o.c.ktail sessions with the guests would not be custom-made in time. Thus, they needed to be bought in the shopping mall. He would temporarily settle for a few pieces before getting the designers to come by the house to take Chenyan’s measurements and tailor those outfits.
He appeased her feelings and said in a deep voice, “We’ll visit two or three more shops but you won’t have to try on too many, is that alright?”
Mu Chenyan knew that the Yuan Family has lots of etiquettes to adhere to at the banquets. She would not be able to fit in with them if she did not have two or three outfits for a single banquet!
Since this was also going to be her first public appearance, she was worried that she would embarra.s.s Yuan Xuan and displease him.
She nodded gently.
The a.s.sistant following Yuan Xuan around today was Kang Yu. He was observant and noticing Mu Chenyan’s weary expression, he discreetly went ahead in advance to clear out several international luxury brand stores.
When Mu Chenyan arrived, she realized that she was the only person in the entire area among the few stores in the initially lively shopping mall. The store attendants welcomed her enthusiastically upon her arrival. She suspiciously eyed Kang Yu.
“You’re the one who cleared the stores? Yuan Xuan’s secretary is clearly the same as him, you’re both irrationally arrogant!”
Mu Chenyan softly spoke at a volume that only both of them could hear.
Kang Yu had a calm expression on his face. He pushed his gla.s.ses higher up on the bridge of his nose and gently smiled at Mu Chenyan as if he was innocent.
Playing dumb to take advantage of others was something that he had learned from his own CEO!
The moment Mu Chenyan entered, a few shop a.s.sistants acted as if they had just seen the empress dowager and if they could, they would kneel and bow to her.
They constantly circled her and continuously changed her into the latest fas.h.i.+onable formal gowns. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan sat at the VIP lounge enjoying his tea, with a mysterious smile on his bewitching yet arrogant face.
Mu Chenyan was unaware that he was appreciating his woman, who was expounding a form of elegance and beauty that even models hired by major brands could not even bring out.
…
Prada had never been a brand that Mu Chenyan liked. She had initially thought of not going in before noticing several pitiful shop a.s.sistants standing at the doorway in the hopes of her arrival. When they saw that Mu Chenyan was planning to go around, they had on sad and long faces as if they had suffered extremely big inconveniences!
Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that if she did not enter, those girls would be as disappointed as the beauties in the imperial harem who were hoping to get randomly chosen to spend the night with the emperor before being informed that he did not require a companion in his chamber that night.
She stepped into the shop and browsed around before choosing a plain colored long silk dress to try.
Suddenly, several women who resembled upper-cla.s.s ladies appeared at the doorway. Their arms and necks were adorned with s.h.i.+ny red ruby necklaces and sapphire rings that boldly dazzled and blinded Mu Chenyan’s eyes.
The woman who led them in had extremely fair skin. However, her out of shape physique indicated she had probably consumed too much of the delicacies of a wealthy household. Her hand-embroidered cheongsam seemed to be bursting at the seams.
When the shop a.s.sistants saw that Mu Chenyan had yet to purchase anything from their store while a group of troublemakers had arrived at this moment, they became worried that the woman whom the CEO had brought would leave with a long face. Nonetheless, one of the younger shop a.s.sistants rushed over and plastered a smile on her face and bowed before the ladies at the doorway who were about to enter.
“Madams, I’m sorry. We’re currently taking count of some stock so we’ll need to close the area for half an hour!”
The shop a.s.sistant did not say that they wanted to clear the store to provide Mu Chenyan with a desirable shopping environment to prevent unnecessary trouble!
Hearing this, the fair woman who led the group in became unhappy. She pointed at Mu Chenyan and angrily asked, “Why is she trying on clothes inside then?”
When Mu Chenyan saw that she was being accused for no reason although she had initially not planned to buy clothes from here, she whispered to the shop a.s.sistant, “I’m not going to try the clothes anymore so you can let them in!”
She had not wanted them to clear the store for her either. The customers who gathered in international luxury stores like this were wealthy and respectable people. Moreover, attracting unnecessary trouble was not part of Mu Chenyan’s personality.
She had never imagined that those words would provoke that woman.
The fair woman turned around and slapped the young shop a.s.sistant in the face!
“You said that you are counting stock and closing the area but I think you’re purposely obstructing me! Are you aware that I’m one of your platinum members who spend tens of thousands here every season and you dared to chase me out?”
