"Shopkeeper, pack up all the clothes that fit this young lady."

Upon hearing Xu Shaojun's words, Luo Jiu was stunned, and so was the boss.

Luo Jiu thought to herself, "What kind of domineering CEO style is this? I've never encountered this before. Can I have a whole stack of these?"

Luo Jiu really wanted to call Xu Shaojun "Dad" on the spot. But... she couldn't let her character break down.

Stay calm!

She was just a down-on-her-luck courtesan, working diligently in the dance hall, independent and strong, never flattering others, never selling herself. How could such a pitiful, innocent image crumble just because of some stinking money?

However, Luo Jiu did not expect that her face would be so alluring and flamboyant.

Do you have small white flowers like this?

Luo Jiu tugged at Xu Shaojun's sleeve and said gently, "Major General, this is a bit too valuable. I, Luo Jiu, have no way to return the money to you."

"I'm not asking you to repay me, so just accept it without worry." My woman, of course, deserves the best.

Suddenly I understand why some foolish rulers would light the beacon fires to amuse their subjects, just to win a smile from their beloved.

Things that can be solved with money are nothing.

"Can……"

Luo Jiu hadn't thought of a reason to refuse when she was interrupted.

This boss is a real shrewd one. Seeing such a big deal right there, he couldn't stop smiling. He readily agreed:

"Yes, Major General, please rest assured. I will make sure the clothes are made and personally deliver them to your residence."

"This is troublesome."

Xu Shaojun responded, and seeing that everything was done, he turned around and led Luo Jiu out the door.

The boss chuckled and went to the door to see the two off. Looking at their departing figures, one could easily say they were a perfect match.

One can easily imagine what the Shanghai entertainment newspapers would write the next day.

#Shocking! Rising Major General Xu Shaojun spends a fortune on ready-made clothes to win a beauty's favor#

#Miss Luo Jiu, a courtesan at Dilemen, already has a boyfriend! Countless men are heartbroken#

#Major General Xu Shaojun and Miss Luo Jiu shopped at a clothing store, their sweet romance making others envious#

That way, you can create a buzz for your store. Then customers will come in droves!

The boss was secretly delighted.

...

"What's wrong? Don't you like these clothes?" Xu Shaojun asked, noticing Luo Jiu sitting there looking rather sullen.

Are you unhappy about buying clothes?

"Um...no, I was wondering if I forgot something yesterday."

As Luo Jiu looked up, she met a pair of deep eyes.

"Forgot what?"

Xu Shaojun's eyes seemed to possess a certain magic, making people involuntarily fall into them.

"I don't know... I must have forgotten something..." Otherwise, why are you so good to me? This is the Nth question Luo Jiu has asked in the past half day.

He then turned his head away, avoiding the scorching gaze.

The car slowly drove along the crowded streets, passing through the hustle and bustle of Shanghai, and finally stopped at a Western restaurant.

The gatekeeper's page saw a brand-new imported car parked at the entrance and immediately opened the door to greet it.

Luo Jiu followed Xu Shaojun into the Western-style restaurant, seemingly familiar with the place.

This restaurant was built within the concession area by foreigners and is entirely in the foreign architectural style.

The gleaming white chandelier reflects on the golden tiles, creating a shimmering effect; the violin plays a calm and melodious tune; lovers share a candlelit dinner, exchanging smiles, their eyes filled with deep affection.

Luo Jiu had been to high-end Western restaurants in the 21st century, but compared to now, they were ultimately lacking in flavor.
