Chapter 287: Chapter 286: An Outfit for a Secret
When Tong Xi spoke about this matter, she guessed his motive at that time. It seemed a bit relaxed, but her heart was still heavy.
She knew that Leng Yan had been making efforts recently, but how about Ji Wei?
She didn’t believe Ji Wei would back out that easily.
"Nuannuan, trust me, I will resolve this matter." Leng Yan wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Wen Nuan, "I came back too late last night, and there are many things I haven’t prepared. I need to go out and buy some things. You should go. No matter what happens, let’s talk about it after I come back from Italy.
Without letting Leng Yan stay any longer, Wen Nuan, under the excuse of going out to buy things, left with him. She insisted on not taking his car, so Leng Yan had no choice but to leave.
Wen Nuan walked into a shopping mall, preparing to pick out a few clothes to bring to Italy. Most of her clothes were left in the villa, and she didn’t want to go back to get them.
"Miss, you have a great eye. This is our latest style. Quickly, go try it on."
Tan Qing told her that after going to Italy, she would attend a rather large ball, and everyone needed to prepare a gown. Wen Nuan first entered a high-end dress shop, and soon a rose-red cocktail dress caught her attention. The clerk saw her staring at the dress and quickly approached with a smile, taking down the dress, "It’s just your size, go try it on."
"Sure." The style was very simple and beautiful, not only for the banquet but also wearable casually. Wen Nuan liked it very much. She took the dress and walked toward the fitting room when a slightly coquettish voice with discontent came over, "Hey, how could you do that, clerk? Didn’t I say I wanted that dress? Why let someone else try it on?"
Wen Nuan was about to speak but frowned slightly when she saw the girl talking.
The voice came from Qu Min, who was coming in from outside with an unhappy face.
The clerk quickly apologized with a smile when she saw Qu Min coming back, "I’m sorry, Miss Qu. You went out for a phone call, so I thought you didn’t want the dress."
While speaking, she looked quite apologetic at Wen Nuan, "Miss, I’m really sorry. This gown was first picked by Miss Qu."
They wouldn’t dare offend Qu Min, who was particularly fond of the clothes in this store and attended many evening parties, so she often visited. She would always buy the most expensive items and could be considered a diamond customer.
"It’s okay, I’ll look around some more."
Wen Nuan smiled slightly, handed over the dress, and was about to leave.
Because of Tan Qing, she didn’t want Qu Min to recognize who she was. Earlier, Qu Min’s attention had been entirely on the dress, and she hadn’t looked at her, so it was a good opportunity to leave unnoticed.
"Hey, wait a minute."
The clerk apologized as she handed the dress to Qu Min. Before Qu Min entered the fitting room, a flash in her eyes made her feel that this person looked very familiar.
"Hello." Wen Nuan turned back helplessly, "Can I help you?"
She pretended not to know her. In any case, the young Miss Qu Min was so high-spirited that maybe she had already forgotten about her.
"I think I’ve seen you before." Qu Min frowned slightly, finally recalling something, and her eyes sparkled with surprise, "You work at MT company, right? We’ve met in a men’s clothing store."
"Yes." Seeing that she couldn’t avoid it, Wen Nuan smiled, "Miss Qu, you have a great memory. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now."
"Wait a minute." Qu Min hesitated a bit and walked up to her, holding the dress out to her, "I’ll give you this dress."
"For me?" Wen Nuan wanted to pinch herself to ensure she heard it right.
Qu Min actually said she’d give her the dress, what a surprise.
Qu Min raised an eyebrow, smiling proudly, "Don’t you believe it? It’s just a dress, I can afford to give it away. But..."
She changed her tone, looking at Wen Nuan, "Last time at the clothing store, Tan Qing said you were her friend, so you must know him well, right?"
Wen Nuan heard her say this and recalled the questions she asked that day, finding it a bit amusing.
Today, would she still ask who Tan Qing liked?
Sure enough, before she could say anything, Qu Min had already spoken, "Tell me, who does he like, and I’ll give you this dress."
Wen Nuan felt speechless instantly.
If she said that Tan Qing liked her, not only would she give her the dress, but Qu Min would scold her right there.
"How about it, tempted?" Seeing that Wen Nuan didn’t immediately refuse, Qu Min touched the dress and smiled even more proudly, "Such an expensive dress, your monthly salary might not be enough for it. I knew you just wanted to try it, not really buy it. After all, not everyone can afford the clothes here. Trying is not a sin, but if you really like it, I’ll give it to you! You’re beautiful, and this dress suits you."
This time, Wen Nuan finally understood why Tan Qing didn’t like Qu Min. If she were a guy, she wouldn’t marry such a girl either.
Always acting as if having money meant looking down on everyone, marrying her would be infuriating!
And being self-righteous, thinking everyone was just trying on clothes, did she think she was free? Coming to the mall to try on clothes for fun?
"I don’t know." She smiled at Qu Min, "Young Master Tan never mentioned it."
No matter what happened between Qu Min and Tan Qing, she wouldn’t say anything.
"Are you really an MT employee?" Qu Min was a bit disappointed, probing further, "Just give me a rough idea, at least let me know where to drag out this woman pestering Qing! What kind of Bewitching Technique is she using on him."
Drag her out! Wen Nuan felt a chill down her spine, struggling to maintain her smile, "Sorry, I really don’t know."
"Forget it, you’re afraid Qing will trouble you." Unable to get any answers, Qu Min lowered her eyes half-mast, pouting. She threw the dress aside, losing all interest, "I won’t buy it, I’ll come back next time."
Saying that, she shouldered her bag and left gracefully, not even sparing Wen Nuan a glance.
Actually, the reason she didn’t suspect Wen Nuan was because that day at the clothing store, she saw with her own eyes that Wen Nuan bought a complete set of men’s clothes, quite young in style. Using her pinky, she guessed that Wen Nuan had a boyfriend.
Having a boyfriend made her relieved that Wen Nuan wouldn’t compete for Tan Qing.
"Miss..."
The clerk approached apologetically, holding the dress Qu Min had thrown aside, asking Wen Nuan, "Would you like to try it on? To be honest, you and Miss Qu are similar in size, but your face is sweeter, more suited to this kind of small dress. Miss Qu has always been straightforward. Don’t mind her too much."
"No need, I’ll look around."
Wen Nuan waved it off, smiled apologetically, and left the dress shop.
She didn’t want to take something thrown at her face, then discarded. If she picked it up and said she wanted it, she’d even look down on herself a bit.
"I see a nice one, would you like to try it on?" A voice, warm with a hint of magnetism, rang out as Wen Nuan looked up in surprise, "Big brother? Shopping at the mall?"
