Department store.

Su Yan's eyes lit up the moment she walked in.

As expected of a department store in the capital, it is not only decorated in a high-end and elegant style, but also sells a wide variety of goods, including many export products.

Even though it was already nine o'clock, there were still many people browsing inside, and some had already left carrying large and small bags.

Seeing her so excited, Jiang Jingxing explained from the side, "This department store has the most complete selection of goods in the entire city of Beijing. It also has foreign products, but the prices are relatively higher."

Without hesitation, Su Yan replied, "Price is a minor issue; the main thing is to find something that suits my taste."

As she spoke, she walked into a lipstick shop and began to carefully select one.

The saleswoman, seeing how plainly dressed she was, didn't think she could afford such a thing and frowned, not wanting to serve her. But then she saw a handsome man in a green uniform standing next to the girl, and the harsh words she was about to utter instantly vanished. She quickly put on a smile and said enthusiastically, "Miss, we have a lot of lipstick shades in our store. You can take a look, or I can recommend a few to you. This apricot pink one looks quite suitable for your skin tone and age. You can try it on."

As the salesperson spoke, she took the apricot-pink lipstick from the glass display case and handed it to me.

Su Yan glanced at it and her brows furrowed into a deep frown.

The apricot pink that the salesperson mentioned is actually a flesh-colored, unflattering Barbie pink; it's guaranteed to be a disaster if you apply it.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, the salesperson continued her enthusiastic recommendation, "This is our store's best-selling color, how about I apply it for you?"

“No need, this color doesn’t suit her.” After refusing, Jiang Jingxing pointed to the bright red one in the far corner and said, “Bring this one for her to try.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yan followed his gaze and saw the bright red lipstick. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a good eye for lipsticks!"

It might be due to her skin type, but after a short period of time, her skin has become noticeably whiter. Although it's not a cool white, it's still a fair white. If she continues to care for it for a while, it might become even whiter.

Moreover, her features are very delicate. Wearing the apricot pink color recommended by the shop assistant might not make her look ugly, but it would definitely not look good. She is definitely only holding up because of her good looks.

However, this bright red color, paired with her face and skin tone, is absolutely eye-catching.

The saleswoman had no choice but to take out the bright red lipstick. She was about to help Su Yan try it on when the other woman simply took it and skillfully applied it to her lips.

Jiang Jingxing saw that her movements were as practiced and familiar as ever, not like it was her first time applying lipstick, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Does it look good?" Su Yan looked up at him after applying makeup, blinked, and asked, "Does it make me look healthy?"

Her lips are naturally beautiful; they are small and have an upward curve at the corners when she is not smiling, and they look like crescent moons when she smiles. Her original lip color is a light pink, but now, with the addition of a striking red that complements her delicate face, it seems to possess an alluring magic.

Jiang Jingxing stared blankly for a while before he came to his senses.

His gaze immediately shifted from her face, a faint blush rising to his ears. He nodded and said, "It looks good, it suits you very well."

Su Yan didn't notice his strange reaction and happily said to the shop assistant, "Then please wrap up this bright red one, and also wrap up the other three shades 04, 07, and 08 together. Also, please get a new foundation and setting powder. Let's calculate the price."

The saleswoman's smile stretched from ear to ear; luckily, she reacted quickly, or she would have missed a big sale.

"It's 93.8 yuan in total. Since you bought so much, I'll just charge you 93."

Su Yan pulled out a wad of ten-yuan notes from her pocket, intending to take out ten and send them to her for her to return.

Jiang Jingxing quickly stopped her, and said with a serious expression, "I'll give it to you."

Su Yan paused for a moment, then refused, "No, apart from one lipstick that's mine, the rest are gifts I bought for my friends. How can I let you pay for them?"

"Why don't you buy them for yourself?" Jiang Jingxing asked, displeased. "Don't you like these?"

Aren't women all powerless against cosmetics?

Su Yan touched her face and said confidently, "Because I think I don't need makeup. I can outshine others with my bare face! So I just need to buy a suitable lipstick to brighten my complexion."

Moreover, given the current situation, it seems unlikely that she will be ready to attend major events anytime soon.

Jiang Jingxing: "..." He was speechless.

In the end, it was Su Yan who paid the money.

After buying the lipsticks, she went straight to the clothing section and bought two sets for each person in the family.

The styles here are not available in Anping Town.

When they reached the women's clothing section, Jiang Jingxing's hands were already full of items.

There was no way around it; she wanted to buy anything that interested her.

Su Yan also picked out two outfits for Huo Qianli.

The first outfit is a dark blue plaid midi skirt paired with a white shirt.

The second outfit was a light blue plaid dress that reached below the calves.

As for herself, she bought skinny jeans with a white shirt and a brown plaid mini skirt with a pink shirt.

She styled all four outfits herself; the one the store provided was, well… a bit ugly for her.

"Miss, a pink shirt paired with black suit pants looks best. It's the most fashionable outfit in Beijing. You can try it if you don't believe me." The shop assistant was skeptical.

This girl didn't take any of her advice when she was picking out clothes!

Su Yan raised an eyebrow and said cheerfully, "Shop assistant, I'll go in and try on both outfits. If my combination looks better, could you give me a discount?"

Before the shop assistant could speak, the woman at the cashier replied, "Okay."

Su Yan looked over at the sound.

The woman standing at the cashier was wearing a standard black suit with trousers and a white shirt. She had short, ear-length hair and unremarkable features, even somewhat ordinary. However, she exuded a sharp and powerful aura. With her arms crossed, she stood there with the posture of a strong woman, making her hard to ignore.

"I'm Du Yun, the owner of this shop. If your outfit combination looks better than mine, then I'll give you all the sets you just picked out for free." Du Yun walked from the cashier to her and stopped, smiling, "What do you think, miss?"

Su Yan looked at Du Yun and was momentarily dazed.

Du Yun's demeanor felt strangely familiar to her, reminding her of herself from a past life.

Jiang Jingxing noticed she was lost in thought, got up and walked over, placing his hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"

Su Yan immediately snapped out of her thoughts and replied, "It's nothing."

She then said to Du Yun, "Mr. Du is very generous. I will respectfully accept your offer."

After saying that, she took the clothes and went into the fitting room.
