Chapter 18: Take it as you like next time
Jiang Tingwan knew very well that although the villa was luxurious, it was too lonely and deserted, and Ruan Yue might not like it. The atmosphere in the Jiang family's old house was even more depressing and dull, without any homely warmth.
So after some consideration, Ruan Yue finally chose to live in the high-end community owned by Jiangjia Real Estate, which might give her a relatively warm and comfortable life.
The little girl was walking around in the house with a smile on her face. Although no one lived there, it had already been renovated and someone took care of it regularly every month. She just needed to pack her bags and move in.
-------------------------------------------
The night was as dark as ink, slowly covering the earth.
In the high-end shopping mall, the dazzling crystal chandeliers shine brightly, making the marble floor shine brightly.
Ruan Yue raised her head, staring at the huge art installation on the dome. Thousands of stars were reflected in her eyes, as if they contained endless surprises and longings.
“Can we really just wander around?”
She gently pinched Jiang Tingwan's sleeve and asked in a low voice. She looked like a bird out of the cage for the first time, excited but also a little cautious.
On weekdays, when Jiang Tingwan goes shopping, major brands basically deliver the goods to her door for her to choose from.
And today, the little girl tugged at her clothes and stammered, asking Jiang Tingwan if she could accompany her to the mall, because she had never had the courage to walk into such a place before and wanted to experience it today.
Jiang Tingwan thought that she had nothing else to do in the evening, so she readily agreed.
As soon as she entered the store, she told the store manager who came to greet her to take out all the new products of the season.
When she turned around, she saw Ruan Yue stretching out her fingers and carefully touching a silk shirt. She looked so cute that Jiang Tingwan couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't be so careful. If you damage it, it's my fault."
The SA at the side had a professional smile on her face and asked softly, "Would you like to try it? Our model has a similar figure to this lady, so maybe..."
"I want to try it on myself." Ruan Yue's eyes sparkled, and she turned to Jiang Tingwan expectantly, "Can I?"
Jiang Tingwan was slightly startled.
For twenty years, she has been accustomed to shopping in the VIP room, watching models wearing the new products of the season being displayed back and forth.
At this moment, looking at Ruan Yue's expectant eyes, she reached out her hand and gently rubbed the top of his head, "It's up to you."
Soon, the curtain of the locker room was slowly drawn open, and Jiang Tingwan was lowering his head to reply to the message.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and saw the girl wearing a mint green Chanel-style suit, which made her skin look as white and delicate as cream. The bow tie at the back of her waist swayed gently as she turned around, like a lively butterfly.
"Does it look good?" Ruan Yue tugged at the hem of her skirt, her ears turning red, her eyes full of nervousness and anticipation.
Jiang Tingwan couldn't help but reach out again and rubbed her hair, with a warm smile that she herself hadn't noticed: "Very cute."
When my fingertips touched the soft hair, a special warmth surged in my heart.
Ruan Yue turned around in front of the mirror again and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the price on the tag. She was so scared that she quickly grabbed Jiang Tingwan's wrist and screamed.
"This, this is enough for my rent for three years!"
Jiang Tingwan was amused by her appearance and laughed out loud. Then he motioned to the clerk to pack up the food and spoke gently.
"Little Princess of the Jiang family, don't worry about this."
“Try this one too.”
Jiang Tingwan handed over another high-end early spring dress and turned to the clerk and said, "Pack up the pairs of shoes you just tried on."
The shop assistants couldn't help but exchange envious glances.
On weekdays, Miss Jiang seldom visits the store in person. Even if she does, she lets the models try on the clothes and then takes them away directly, without even bothering to take a closer look.
But today, she patiently accompanied this strange girl to try on the clothes for two hours, and even adjusted the buttonholes of the belt herself.
They couldn't help but secretly speculate about the girl and her identity.
"Sister! This one suits you!"
Ruan Yue suddenly ran over holding a burgundy silk dress, gesturing in front of Jiang Tingwan as if offering a treasure, "Go and try it!"
Jiang Tingwan took the skirt and did not refuse.
Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Jiang Tingwan looked at the two figures standing side by side in the mirror, one as bright as a blooming rose, and the other as fresh as a blooming lily of the valley.
Ruan Yue stood on tiptoes and carefully helped her adjust the shoulder straps. The faint scent of shampoo in her hair lingered around Jiang Tingwan's nose, making her feel warm in her heart.
"I want them all." Jiang Tingwan heard herself say.
On the way back, Ruan Yue looked at the pile of shopping bags on the back seat and suddenly said softly, "It turns out that shopping with others... is so fun."
Jiang Tingwan looked at the neon lights outside the window. Over the years, she rarely accompanied others shopping, but she didn't expect... it actually felt pretty good.
At this moment, the mobile phone screen suddenly lit up, and the smile on Jiang Tingwan's lips had not yet disappeared.
Shen Guan's name was jumping on the screen. She swiped the answer button and spoke in a tone so brisk that she didn't even notice it: "What can I do for you, Mr. Shen?"
"It contributed seven figures in sales to Shen's Department Store."
On the other end of the phone, Shen Guan's voice was somewhat teasing, "Miss Jiang seems to be in a good mood?"
Jiang Tingwan then remembered that the shopping mall she had just visited belonged to the Shen Group. She unconsciously curled the ends of her hair with her fingertips and chuckled.
"If I had known it was Mr. Shen's territory, I should have taken a detour to Jiang's shopping mall."
"It's not too late to know now." Shen Guan's voice suddenly came closer, as if he was close to the microphone, "How about I reimburse you?"
This man won't get up early unless there is benefit.
So she smiled and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"Let me think... Miss Jiang has to accompany me to take a hot spring bath."
His voice suddenly lowered, with a hint of ambiguity and a hint of smile, "Just the two of us."
Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, and the scene by the rose pond yesterday appeared in front of her eyes. This person was still thinking about her and Lu Zhaoye going together.
She deliberately dragged out her tone: "Boss Shen, are you still thinking about me?"
All I heard was Shen Guan pretending to sigh: "You don't even want the money I give you. Miss Jiang is becoming more and more difficult to please."
As he was speaking, Jiang Tingwan's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
A bank notification popped up on the screen, announcing that all spending for tonight would be refunded.
"Can you consider my invitation now?"
Shen Guan said slowly, "Would you be interested in accompanying me to inspect the newly developed Yunqi Resort tomorrow?"
"Boss Shen, are you forcing me to buy or sell?" She smiled into the microphone.
Shen Guan's low laugh was like a feather gently scratching the eardrum: "Ms. Jiang can also refuse."
"Let's go."
Jiang Tingwan looked at Ruan Yue beside her. She was already sleeping sweetly with the shopping bags in her arms, her eyelashes casting tiny shadows under her eyes.
"Mr. Chen, why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known, I would have shopped for a while longer and picked out a few more expensive items." She teased.
Chen Guan also chuckled, "Next time you go, just take whatever you want."
