Chapter 195: Is This Cultivating Affection?
Yanjing, Ye Wenjun's villa.
Fang Yu hadn't even opened his eyes yet when he caught a faint fragrance.
It smelled really nice.
Huh? This scent feels familiar.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and was greeted by a pair of large, dark eyes. Matching them was a cold expression.
Fang Yu sat up abruptly.
"Are you kidding me? Scaring people can scare them to death..." Fang Yu patted his chest.
Ye Wenjun had already washed up and changed.
However, today, her outfit was very plain, even looking a bit worn, but it was very clean and simple.
She just sat quietly by the bed, seemingly waiting for Fang Yu to wake up.
"You get scared too?" Ye Wenjun said indifferently.
"I'm not scared of anything..."
Ye Wenjun slightly frowned, "Do you really have to talk like that?"
"I can't help it, it's a habit that I can't change all at once," Fang Yu scratched his head.
"I want to go shopping in a bit. You'd better get up soon," Ye Wenjun said.
"Uh..."
Fang Yu blinked and said, "No way, you're taking me shopping?"
Ye Wenjun slowly got up, elegant in her demeanor and light in her step. As she walked towards the door, she said without looking back, "Building our relationship."
"..."
This woman really doesn't make any sense. She doesn't even ask if I agree to go shopping or not! How unreasonable!
But still, Fang Yu got out of bed.
...
Today, Ye Wenjun wore a cool, long skirt with a light blue coat. From top to bottom, down to her tiny white feet in delicate little white shoes, she looked like the girl next door. Although the outfit was very ordinary, not even branded, and looked like something from a street vendor, somewhat old, Ye Wenjun wore it with a uniquely refreshing style.
If it wasn't for her perpetually stern expression, but instead a sweet smile, she would absolutely look like the sweet young girl next door, making you feel like you've fallen in love with her at first sight.
"Where are we going?" Fang Yu asked.
"New Century Mall."
"That luxurious place, wasteful woman!" Fang Yu thought to himself.
Fang Yu was always frugal and never frequented the big malls like New Century. Who could afford clothes with prices in the four to five digits?
She was unaware of Fang Yu's thoughts, and even if he had them, he was forced to keep them to himself.
Half an hour later, Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun drove to New Century Mall.
This hub of designer brands, a paradise of luxury goods.
Ye Wenjun was like a madwoman, buying anything she liked without hesitation.
Fang Yu completely turned into her follower, a follower whose hair looked like it was licked by a dog!
Ye Wenjun, with her billions in wealth, was extravagantly lavish.
...
Shortly after, as the two entered a high-end jewelry store, Ye Wenjun immediately noticed a necklace in the central glass case.
The tiny diamonds glowed faintly, and with exquisite craftsmanship, they shone brightly on the display.
"Miss, this necklace really suits your temperament," the salesperson said with a smile.
"I'm not used to wearing jewelry," Ye Wenjun responded indifferently.
Indeed, the busy Ye Wenjun, in pursuit of efficiency, had almost zero interest in jewelry.
Fang Yu couldn't be bothered to interject; love it or leave it, it's none of my business, he walked over to a high stool nearby, sat down directly, and began daydreaming with a vacant expression.
"Miss, this necklace really suits you. You should trust my judgment, it definitely won't disappoint," the salesperson insisted on her opinion.
Ye Wenjun didn't care about a necklace.
After all, isn't shopping for women just about having fun?
Seeing her not responding, the salesperson suggested, "Why don't you try it on? If it doesn't look good, you don't have to buy it, how about that?"
Ye Wenjun maintained her indifferent expression, briefly glanced at the necklace in the glass case, her heart as calm as tempered glass.
"This necklace is called 'Lapis Night,' designed by the famous French designer Arthur himself; it is the only one of its kind in Jiangzhou."
Hearing "French designer" Arthur, Ye Wenjun took another look.
But at that moment—
"I'll buy this necklace, some people shouldn't pretend to afford it if they don't have money."
Just as Ye Wenjun was gazing at the necklace, a chilly female voice came. Turning towards the voice, a dignified middle-aged woman accompanied by a middle-aged man in a suit approached.
The middle-aged woman immediately noticed the plainly dressed Ye Wenjun and the necklace she admired. Without even thinking, she concluded this girl was just pretending to be rich.
Can't afford it so stop pretending?
This remark slightly angered Ye Wenjun.
"Salesperson, wrap it up."
The salesperson's eyes lit up.
You know, the price tag on a 'Lapis Night' necklace is hefty; selling just one would mean she wouldn't have to worry about commission for months.
Hearing the wealthy lady's decisive tone, the salesperson's heartbeat sped up!
"Alright, please wait a moment!" the salesperson hurried towards the necklace.
"I'm sorry, but I noticed this necklace first," Ye Wenjun elegantly raised her arm, blocking the salesperson's path, "Everything has a first-come, first-served basis, don't you agree?"
The salesperson was taken aback.
Honestly, this move by Ye Wenjun irritated her deeply. If not for her high level of professional restraint, she would have brushed aside Ye Wenjun straight away. Are you kidding me? You haven't even decided to buy, and just now you acted like you didn't care; someone else has already asked to buy it, so should I just stop doing business because you want to look at it?
From the moment Ye Wenjun entered the store, the salesperson felt they were unlikely to buy this expensive necklace. A tall woman with a cold look, wearing cheap street clothes, although with a pretty face, sadly couldn't afford this necklace.
Because this necklace is worth half a million!
You talk about first come, first served—are you sure you're not a joker sent by monkeys?
Still maintaining her professional demeanor, the salesperson smiled and said, "I'm sorry, miss, this necklace has already been purchased by another client. You did not express any intention to buy it earlier, so I cannot sell it to you."
"You are mistaken, I had a change of mind before she spoke!" Ye Wenjun said indifferently, "Are you being snobbish? Think I can't afford it?"
The middle-aged woman, who had been observing quietly, responded in a bland tone upon hearing Ye Wenjun's unreasonable words, "The salesperson is too polite to say it outright to you, but even I can't see how you could afford it. Young lady, the most valuable thing on you might be this 20,000-value handbag, and wearing some small labels may seem alright, but sister here tells you, this necklace is worth half a million, not something you can afford."
Ye Wenjun was unaffected by the comment and said, "I'm saying, aunty, does wearing a golden dog chain necessarily mean one is rich?"
Hearing this, even Fang Yu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, was startled and suddenly opened his eyes! My God, is she here today just to provoke me? She's usually so gentle, but her way of insulting people has such an artistic flair?
Fang Yu was stunned. Is this building rapport? Why do I feel that Ye Wenjun is still holding a grudge from yesterday and is finding ways to punish me today?
The middle-aged woman was instantly infuriated by this remark; clearly, this touched a nerve, as she detested being called nouveau riche the most!
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory; believe it or not, I'll smash your mouth!" the middle-aged woman said spitefully.
