Chapter 17

Seeing that the man hadn't come out for a while, Jiang Wanwan got up from the sofa and shouted loudly towards the bedroom, "Ah Xiao, I'm going out for a bit."

She walked towards the entrance.

"Where are you going?" the man suddenly opened the door and asked, standing by the bedroom door.

Jiang Wanwan snorted and said while putting on her shoes, "It's none of your business where I go."

After saying that, he opened the door and then slammed it shut.

It was evening, and there was still plenty of time before the mall closed, so Jiang Wanwan took a taxi to the nearest mall.

Although Jiang Wanwan outwardly confronted the man, she was also a soft-hearted person. Taking advantage of the fact that the mall was still open, she decided to come and buy him some clothes to change into.

Before long, she had several shopping bags in her hands.

Suddenly, she turned into a shopping district and saw a men's underwear store.

Jiang Wanwan's features twitched, her face full of struggle and hesitation.

She had no experience buying underwear for men and was also a little embarrassed, but she couldn't just let Boss Xiao run around naked.

Oh well, nobody here knows her anyway. As long as she's not embarrassed, it's everyone else who's embarrassed.

So she steeled herself and walked in, pretending to be natural and poised.

In the men's underwear store, apart from a middle-aged woman sitting at the cashier, all the other sales assistants were men.

As soon as Jiang Wanwan entered, a sales assistant came over to ask her questions.

"Hello, what type of underwear do you need?"

"Huh? Oh...it's nothing, I'll just take a look around first."

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything."

The sales assistant smiled politely and was very professional.

Looking at the dazzling array of products, Jiang Wanwan gained a new understanding of men's underwear. It was the first time she had ever known that men's underwear could be made so "uniquely".

While she was dumbfounded, she was also at a loss for what to choose.

After wandering aimlessly around the store for a while, Jiang Wanwan felt overwhelmed and finally decided to ask the sales assistant for help.

There was a sales assistant next to her with her back to her, seemingly tidying up clothes.

So she went over and said, "Excuse me, could you recommend something?"

A gentle voice rang out, and the sales assistant immediately put down the clothes in her hands and turned around to serve the customer.

It's him!

Jiang Wanwan's pupils contracted sharply as she looked at the man's face that had turned around.

When Kuang Ye saw Jiang Wanwan, his eyes showed surprise, but he quickly revealed his perfect eight white teeth and said with a smile, "Sister, we meet again."

"Yes...yes, do you work here?" Jiang Wanwan's tongue got tied; she hadn't expected to run into an acquaintance here.

Kuang Ye noticed the woman's slightly red ear tips and chuckled, "Yes, sister, I work part-time here."

"Don't you have to go to school?" Jiang Wanwan asked subconsciously.

Kuang Ye pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "There are no classes in the senior year."

Jiang Wanwan immediately understood. It seemed that the other party's family was not well-off, and he had started working part-time before graduating.

I remember after she was accepted into a graduate program in her senior year, she spent most of her time at home having fun, except for writing her graduation thesis. Looking back on her student days now, she was truly carefree.

Before Jiang Wanwan could even express her feelings, she heard the boy's tone change, and he asked enthusiastically, "What style do you want to buy, sister? I'll introduce some to you."

At this moment, Jiang Wanwan remembered the purpose of her visit. Although she had only met the other person once, she felt somewhat embarrassed looking into the boy's clear and bright eyes.

"It's okay, let that young man introduce me to the product." She pointed to a sales assistant not far away, the same person who had greeted her when she entered.

Kuang Ye raised an eyebrow, his tone sounding somewhat unhappy, "He's about to get off work, doesn't my sister trust me?"

Jiang Wanwan also knew that the store's employees worked in shifts and would change shifts when it was time to go.

Seeing the boy's slightly aggrieved look, she chuckled twice, "Alright then, thank you for your trouble."

Upon hearing this, Kuang Ye's lips curled up slightly, and he thoughtfully took a small basket and slung it over his arm.

"Don't worry, sister, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Jiang Wanwan pursed her lips, steeled herself, and followed behind him, listening to him introduce the products.

A deep, magnetic voice rang out, and even Jiang Wanwan, a Chinese language teacher, had to admit that he spoke with great clarity and organization.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Wanwan had roughly selected a few items and wanted the other party to put the new ones in the basket.

Just when she thought she had succeeded, Kuang Ye suddenly called out to her.

"Sister, what size does your boyfriend wear?"

How big?

How big is what?

Jiang Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what the other person meant, her cheeks instantly turned bright red.

"I don't know either... No, he's not my boyfriend!" Jiang Wanwan explained anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Kuang Ye raised the corner of his eye slightly, lifted his eyelids, and looked at the woman in front of him with an ambiguous expression.

She bought underwear for someone who wasn't her boyfriend? I never expected this goody-two-shoes to be so wild.

However, Kuangye did not show any abnormality on the surface. He leaned closer to Jiang Wanwan, breathed ambiguously into her ear, and whispered, "So, sister, who do you think is older, him or me?"

The warm breath sprayed onto her neck, and Jiang Wanwan turned completely red, like a boiled shrimp, her neck turning red as well, her mind a complete mess.

In the end, Jiang Wanwan didn't hear what Kuang Ye said. She followed his instructions completely: pay the money, make the payment, and pack the items...

The moment she stepped out of the shop, she heard Kuang Ye's cheerful voice behind her.

"Have a good trip, sister. Welcome to visit again next time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan immediately clutched the bag in her hand and fled in panic.

Kuang Ye stood at the shop entrance, watching the woman's hurried figure, and couldn't help but sneer. He then walked back into the shop with a smug look on his face.

Once inside, another male sales assistant approached Kuang Ye and said resentfully, "Xiao Ye, how did you steal my customer?"

Their sales associates are paid based on their sales performance. Originally, Jiang Wanwan was supposed to be the customer of the first guy, but Kuang Ye intercepted her halfway through.

Upon hearing this, Kuang Ye immediately feigned surprise, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I thought you were about to leave work."

Although he made an apologetic gesture, there was no remorse in his eyes.

Seeing Kuang Ye's sincere expression, the salesperson thought he must have really misremembered. "It's okay, just be more careful next time." The male salesperson eventually forgave him.

Kuang Ye smiled gratefully and patted the male sales assistant on the shoulder like a good brother, "Thank you."

The male sales assistant chuckled sheepishly, then suddenly remembered something and said admiringly, "But Ono, you're really amazing! You actually managed to sell our store's hardest-to-sell item. I admire you, brother!"

The few orders that just came through were all old-fashioned and overpriced items from the store. The only advantage was the quality of the fabric, but in this era of pursuing trends, they were almost ignored in the store. I didn't expect Kuangye to sell so many in such a short time.

Seeing the thumbs-up the other person gave him, Kuang Ye smiled without batting an eye, but his eyes were full of mockery and smugness.

Who cares who she is or who she's buying things for?

With these orders from Jiang Wanwan, he'll be able to earn more money this month.

Kuang Ye was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a little tune as he returned to the shelves to organize the merchandise.

When she got into the taxi, Jiang Wanwan realized that she had spent so much money today, almost half a month's salary!

She looked at her spending records; the beginning was fine, but when she saw the prices of those few pairs of underwear, she almost thought she was seeing things.

Did they add an extra zero to this price?!

Jiang Wanwan panicked and immediately opened the pocket of her underwear, staring at the price tag for a long time.

"This is way too expensive!" she cried out, covering her eyes, startling the driver.

Are rich people's butts really that precious?

Reality told her the answer—yes.

The scenery outside the car rushed past; we were almost home.

Forget it, she'll keep track of all the expenses she gave to Boss Xiao. Once he regains his memory, she'll definitely make him pay her back! Otherwise, her meager salary won't be enough for him to squander.

Back home, Jiang Wanwan presented Xiao Mingzhu with bags and packages. When Xiao Mingzhu heard that they were clothes bought for him, a rare tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Looking at the man's smiling face, Jiang Wanwan was momentarily dazed.

She temporarily forgot the heartache of her empty wallet and quickly asked the other person to try on the clothes.

Xiao Mingzhu took all the bags into the bedroom, leaving only one on the sofa.

"Hey, there's one more here," Jiang Wanwan called out to the man at the bedroom door.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mingzhu stopped and slowly turned around, a troubled look on his face. "Do I have to show you my underwear too?"

Upon hearing the man's words, Jiang Wanwan realized what he meant and immediately gave a dry laugh, "...Oh, is that it? No need, no need."

Seeing the complicated expression on the man's face, Jiang Wanwan inwardly cried. She really was a decent person!

Unfortunately, it's no use explaining now; the other party doesn't seem to believe her.

Waaah, she's such a traitor.

Now, we just hope that Boss Xiao can regain his memory soon, so that they can go their separate ways as soon as possible and there won't be so many embarrassing scenes.

A few minutes later, the door to Xiao Mingzhu's bedroom was opened.

The man wore a crisp white T-shirt and jeans, exuding a lazy yet aloof aura, like a prince straight out of a comic book.

Jiang Wanwan's eyes were instantly drawn to it; it was practically dancing to her aesthetic sensibilities as a face-obsessed person.

“This style suits you so well, it looks much better than those stiff suits you wore before,” she couldn’t help but say.

Xiao Mingzhu looked at the woman's reaction, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

However, as she looked at him, Jiang Wanwan suddenly recalled Kuang Ye's face.

That boy always had a frivolous attitude and was very outgoing, yet he wasn't annoying.

Thinking about it, she realized that, judging from appearance alone, Kuang Ye actually looked more like a foreigner than Boss Xiao, which was really strange.

But soon, her attention was diverted because Boss Xiao changed into another outfit, which was even more handsome than the previous one.
