After Hu Yining fainted on the street that day, she woke up in the hospital, with Han Wenlei by her side.

The trope of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress never feels outdated, no matter the era.

Therefore, Hu Yining immediately developed a liking for Han Wenlei.

...

Mo Jing's gaze lingered on a blue dress. The dress was made of soft, high-quality silk, and its design was extremely clever and beautiful. A ribbon at the shoulder was folded into a flower shape, embellishing the entire dress.

The strap comes off easily with a pull, without affecting the overall aesthetics of the dress.

Mo Jing stood there with a wicked grin, thinking that the design was ingenious. If they ever encountered danger, they could use this belt to strangle the other person.

Originally, Mo Jing only thought about this idea out of boredom and as a joke. She never imagined that one day she would actually use this belt to kill someone.

"This dress is beautiful, isn't it? I think it suits you perfectly. Why don't you take it off and try it on?" Wang Meimei had just changed her clothes and came out of the fitting room when she saw Mo Jing staring at the dress, and she spoke up.

Mo Jing nodded, turned around and called the shop assistant to take the dress down.

As the sales assistant took the dress off, she continued to explain that it was designed by the famous designer Claire, and its greatest advantage was that it could accentuate…

Mo Jing didn't say anything. She reached out with one hand to take the dress, but her other hand reached out even faster and snatched it away.

Hu Yining clutched the dress in her hand, her eyes gleaming with undisguised joy: "That's wonderful! Master Claire's work is out! I've wanted this dress for so long." Master Claire's works are all limited editions, so even if they are available, you might not be able to buy them.

The shop assistant looked at Mo Jing with a somewhat embarrassed expression when she saw the dress suddenly snatched from her hands. After all, Mo Jing had taken a liking to it first, but judging from Hu Yining's attire, she knew Mo Jing was someone Mo Jing couldn't afford to offend. She was caught in the middle, feeling conflicted.

Mo Jing looked at the two people opposite her with great interest. Was it fate or something else? Even when she was shopping, she would run into people she didn't want to see.

"Hey, we saw this dress first, first come, first served." Wang Meimei didn't know Hu Yining or Han Wenlei, but she was unhappy to see them snatch the dress that Mo Jing had originally wanted.

"Did you pay for it? If you didn't pay, it's not yours." Hu Yining was always a pampered girl, how could she possibly give away what she wanted to someone else? "Shop assistant, please wrap up this dress for me."

The shop assistant looked at Mo Jing with a troubled expression. According to her employee code of conduct and upbringing, Mo Jing was the one who had taken a liking to the dress first. However, what Hu Yining said was indeed correct. She had not yet paid for the dress, and things that had not been paid for could not be considered hers.

"What a skill! The mayor's daughter, of all people, actually engaging in such coercive sales tactics." Mo Jing looked at the two coldly. It's true that like attracts like.

Hu Yining looked at Mo Jing with disdain, her eyes alluring. "Since you know I'm the mayor's daughter, you should know I'm not someone you can afford to offend." Seeing that her clothes weren't designer brands, it meant she wasn't from a wealthy family, and Hu Yining became even more disdainful.
