0108 Gap
"Ms. Jiang, I think these shoes suit you very well..."
Jiang Jifan turned around and saw the saleswoman carrying a pair of black pointed high heels, walking towards her with a smile and solicitous manner. As she spoke, she was about to squat down to let her try on the shoes.
She glanced at the pair of high heels on the ground. They suited her quite well, but their design was rather ordinary, with nothing particularly outstanding about them.
"No need, I already have several pairs of this style at home," she said with a smile, politely declining.
Having said that, he ignored her persistent enthusiasm in promoting the shoes he had just seen and stood up to look at other shoes.
"Did you find one you like?" Xiang Nannan, who had just come out of the fitting room, stood in front of the full-length mirror, while the sales clerk knelt down to adjust her skirt.
Jiang Jifan glanced back at her and said he had an answer.
After tidying herself up, she admired herself in the mirror a few times, nodded in satisfaction, and then lifted her skirt and walked to Jiang Jifan's side.
Xiang Nannan glanced at the pair of shoes she had her eye on, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
The simple white and gold high-heeled sandals in the glass cabinet looked like a style from twenty years ago, instantly pulling her back to her memories of practicing Latin dance in her youth.
“Miss Jiang, you have excellent taste. This is a brand new style from our store this season, and there’s only one pair left…” The saleswoman who had just been rejected seized the opportunity and quickly came over to take the pair of white and gold high heels.
Xiang Nannan looked at her, hesitated for a long time, and then said tactfully, "This style is too retro..."
Jiang Jifan smiled and looked at her confidently, saying, "Don't worry, there are no shoes I can't handle."
The salesperson knelt down to take off her original burgundy patent leather shoes and put on a pair of white gold high heels for her.
"Miss Jiang, your legs are so white and straight, they would look good even if you tied a rope around them."
An ordinary person would have been overjoyed to hear such praise, but Jiang Jifan was already used to it and didn't feel anything when he heard it. He just smiled in response.
After she finished dressing, she stood up and tried walking a few steps.
"It really looks good." Xiang Nannan crossed her arms and stared down at the high heels on her feet, saying unexpectedly.
The shoes, which looked extremely ordinary, gave off a feeling as if they were specially tailor-made for her when she wore them.
Jiang Jifan turned to look at her, with an expression that said, "See? I told you so!"
She turned to the salesperson and smiled, "I'll take these."
"Okay, great!" The salesperson was overjoyed to have sold a pair of new shoes as soon as she started work, and eagerly stepped forward to take the shoes off for her.
Since getting together with Tantai Qing, a batch of ready-made clothes that match her style are delivered to her home every time the season changes, which has made Jiang Jifan less enthusiastic about buying new clothes lately.
After buying those shoes, she decided not to look at any more clothes, so she leisurely sat in the store drinking coffee and watching Nan Nan try on clothes.
Later, Xiang Nannan picked out a dress for her to try on.
Jiang Jifan was momentarily stunned when she first saw the gold sequined strapless fishtail dress in her hand, but considering the occasion this dress was suitable for, she suppressed her desire.
"No, even if I bought it, I wouldn't wear it more than a few times."
As if she had heard something unheard of, she asked Nan Nan in surprise, "Wear it several times?"
"Why wear it multiple times?" she asked, looking somewhat bewildered. "Shouldn't this kind of dress be worn once and then discarded?"
Jiang Jifan was speechless at her seemingly "natural" words and couldn't explain himself for a moment.
Thinking of the gap between them, she chuckled and shook her head, saying nothing more.
For Jiang Jifan, practicality is usually her first consideration when buying things. No matter how beautiful an item looks, she will usually think about it for a long time if it is not practical for her.
Just like the dress in her hand, although it's beautiful, she's destined not to wear it many times.
For Xiang Nannan, as long as something looks good, that's enough. Whether it's practical or not shouldn't be a requirement she needs to consider.
However, in the end, Jiang Jifan couldn't resist her and was pushed into the fitting room along with her clothes.
Xiang Nannan has good taste; the dress she chose fits Jiang Jifan's figure perfectly.
The well-tailored, figure-hugging fishtail skirt accentuated all the advantages of her hourglass figure, making her appear to have a large bust, a slim waist, and full hips.
Xiang Nannan stood to the side watching the clerk adjust her dress, and sighed enviously, "It's a pity I'm not Tai Qing Ge..."
Then he encouraged her to wear this outfit back that night, saying it would surely make Tantai Qing completely infatuated.
Jiang Jifan chuckled at her words, glanced down at his extravagant dress, and said, "Maybe next time."
He told Nannan that he would buy the dress and give it to her.
Jiang Jifan felt embarrassed and declined, but when it came time to pay, she unceremoniously swiped the card that Tantai Qing had given her.
"Yunyun?"
Hearing the voice, Xiang Nannan, who was standing at the cashier, turned around and asked in surprise when she saw who it was: "Sister Xianzhi?"
Qiao Xianzhi walked in wearing a light pink French-style dress, a gentle smile on her face. "Long time no see, Nan Nan."
"Sister Xianzhi, when did you get back?"
She looked a little embarrassed and explained, "I just got back a couple of days ago and forgot to tell you."
Qiao Xianzhi paused for a moment when her gaze fell on Jiang Jifan, who had a bright and beautiful face and a tall and elegant figure.
Who is this?
Xiang Nannan glanced at Jiang Jifan, and for some reason, said to her directly, "This is Brother Taiqing's girlfriend."
Qiao Xianzhi was clearly taken aback for a moment, but quickly put on a friendly smile and greeted her casually, "Hello."
Jiang Jifan felt inexplicably strange. Faced with the other party's seemingly friendly kindness, he smiled slightly and nodded.
After the two left, Xiang Nannan muttered to herself, "Strange, why did she suddenly come back?"
"Why do you say that?" Jiang Jifan asked, puzzled.
“Because we all thought she would settle in New York,” Xiang Nannan explained.
"And..." She glanced behind her, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "She's Tai-Ching's ex-girlfriend."
Jiang Jifan then understood where that strange feeling had come from.
The other person's gentle and elegant temperament does indeed seem to be the type that Tantai Qing would like.
"Based on my understanding of her, I think her return this time is definitely not simple," Xiang Nannan secretly speculated.
Then he nudged her shoulder and winked, saying, "You'd better watch out, Ji Fan."
Jiang Jifan thought she was joking and didn't take it to heart, simply laughing it off.
