Since she did not have to work on weekends, Shen Youran woke up later than usual. After she had eaten her breakfast, she took her bag and went out as she planned to buy some daily products at the supermarket.

...

Old Wang sent her to the supermarket and was soon chased away by her.

She walked toward the daily products section with her shopping basket and took two bags of the usual brand of toilet paper she used as well as other products.

Just as she was about to pay for the products, she heard a voice that was filled with surprise say, “Ms. Shen?”

She turned around to take a look and realized that it was Xue Ling who’d called her name. Xue Ling was wearing a red knee-length dress today while her makeup looked very exquisite and charming, making her seem very noble and beautiful.

Shen Youran wore a smile on her face while she greeted her, “Ms. Xue, what a coincidence.”

“Yes, it’s quite a coincidence.” Xue Ling’s smile was very gentle and comforting. She glanced at the things on the counter before placing her shopping basket on it and said to the lady at the cashier, “Pay together.” With that said, she took out her card from her purse and placed it on the counter.

Shen Youran waved her hand in refusal. “It’s fine. We should just pay for our own things.” After all, they were not that familiar with one another.

“It’s okay.” Xue Ling instinctively linked arms with her, making them seem as though they were very close friends.

Shen Youran did not like to have close interactions with people she was not familiar with, and her body stiffened upon contact with Xue Ling’s hand. She wanted to pull her hand out of her grip, but Xue Ling only held her arm tighter.

After the cashier scanned Xue Ling’s item, Xue Ling pressed her password on the machine and signed the receipt. The cashier passed the receipt and the card back to Xue Ling and both of them left the supermarket with their things.

Xue Ling stood outside of the supermarket and said, “Youran, 1 ordered a set of clothes at the International Mall, can you accompany me to collect it?”

Both of them had just met for a few minutes and they were not even that close. Yet, Xue Ling actually called her name so naturally.

She could not find a good reason to reject her and, thus, could only say, “Sure.”

Xue Ling’s car was parked just outside the supermarket. It was a red Maserati. Both of them placed their stuff on the backseat, and Xue Ling sat on the driver’s seat while Shen Youran sat on the passenger seat.

The International Mall was not very far from the supermarket, and they only needed a twenty-minute car ride to reach it. After they got down from the car, Xue Ling linked arms with her again, but Shen Youran did not feel as uncomfortable as just now, only allowing her to hold her arm.

When they entered the mall, they were immediately welcomed by a salesperson who came forward once she saw Xue Ling. The salesperson seemed very kind and approachable while she asked them, “Ms. Xue, the dress you ordered has arrived. Do you want to put it on?”

“Of course.” Xue Ling’s voice held a hint of conceitedness in it while she displayed the pride of a princess.

The salesperson immediately went to take her clothes and did not dare to be lazy in her actions. It could be seen that Xue Ling was a frequent buyer in this mall.

Xue Ling entered the dressing room while Shen Youran waited for her at the nearby sofa. She took the magazine on the table and casually flipped the pages of the magazine out of boredom.

The salesperson saw that she came with Xue Ling and politely served a cup of tea for her.

She was holding a fashion magazine that contained the latest fashion trends this season. Upon seeing that, the salesperson immediately smiled and introduced the various designers of the clothes shown in the magazine.

After a few minutes, Xue Ling came out of the dressing room in a purple dress. It was a middle sleeve dress, which was designed to have exquisite lace. There were even shining diamonds decorating her chest.

The moment she came out, the salesperson immediately praised her while smiling. “Ms. Xue, your dress suits you very well.”

Xue Ling spun one round in front of the mirror and seemed very satisfied with her dress. She suddenly remembered Shen Youran who came along with her and turned around to call her name. She looked at her with expectant eyes and asked, “How do I look?”

Shen Youran closed the magazine and smiled while saying, “Not bad, you look very beautiful..”
