Gu Chen went straight back to his car, feeling somewhat annoyed.

According to the book, he should ignore Xiao Ruanruan no matter what happens to her. But when he saw Xiao Ruanruan about to fall, he thought about how much it would hurt if her head hit the ground. When he saw Chen Jie trying to bend down and hug Xiao Ruanruan, he couldn't help himself!

He left as soon as he put Xiao Ruan Ruan down, not only because he was following what the book said, but also because he was angry with himself.

Why can't he stick to his principles in front of Xiao Ruanruan?

As Qiu Shun led Wu Shan back to the car, he sensed the oppressive atmosphere in the entire vehicle. He cautiously asked Gu Chen, "Young Master, shall we go home now?"

Wu Shan sat obediently and nervously in the passenger seat, holding onto the seatbelt. She was also wondering, wasn't she supposed to be out buying clothes for her?

But now...

It seems like they came out but haven't bought anything yet!

But she couldn't say that. She was already living and eating for free at the Gu family's house, and she couldn't ask for more, lest people think she was greedy.

Gu Chen had originally planned to go straight home, but at this moment, his gaze fell on the little red dot on his phone, and he said in a completely emotionless tone, "You haven't bought your clothes yet, have you? What are you going home for?"

After saying that, he got out of the car again.

Qiu Shun looked at his young master with a puzzled expression.

He had never seen his little master so capricious before. He even wondered if his little master had been possessed by another soul. Was this really the same calm and composed little master who could remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him?

It's like he's a completely different person!

This time, Gu Chen didn't press any buttons after entering the elevator.

After Qiu Shun went inside, he immediately understood what he meant and pressed the button for the second floor.

The second floor does indeed sell clothes; half of it is children's clothing, and the other half sells youth clothing. Most of the customers in these stores are students who come here for classes.

Although there aren't many shops, the quality isn't low. After all, the hobby training courses here are quite famous throughout Beijing, and many of the teachers in these training classes are renowned instructors.

The price of the previous lesson was not cheap, and it was not something that the average family could afford to attend regularly.

After Gu Chen reached the second floor, he didn't deliberately look for Xiao Ruanruan anymore. After all, the first floor of this mall was only so big, and he was bound to run into her while he was shopping.

Qiu Shun observed his young master's expression and understood Gu Chen's meaning. He took Wu Shan into a women's clothing store and said, "Miss Wu, take a look at the clothes here and see if there's anything you like. Pick one out yourself."

Looking at the exquisitely tailored and brightly colored clothes in the store, Wu Shan gripped her skirt with both hands, feeling even more uneasy. She had never bought clothes in such a high-end store before, and these clothes looked very expensive.

She glanced at Gu Chen cautiously. Gu Chen's face was expressionless, but he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. She didn't dare to speak to Gu Chen.

She looked at Qiu Shun. Although Qiu Shun was very big and seemed a bit intimidating at first glance, after spending the last two days with him, she realized that he was actually a very gentle person.

Under the watchful eye of the shop assistant, she cautiously approached Qiu Shun and whispered, "Uncle Qiu Shun, the clothes here are too expensive. Let's not buy them here."

I can easily find something to wear by buying discounted items at the local market.

She bought all her clothes from the market stalls during seasonal sales.

Qiu Shun knew about that kind of market, just like the one in the town where Qingquan Village was located when they were there before. In addition to vegetables and meat, there was also a section of stalls selling clothes.

Those clothes were all the cheapest available.

Qiu Shun looked at Wu Shan with even more heartache; this child had a hard life.

He glanced at Gu Chen and realized that Gu Chen was completely ignoring their commotion. After thinking for a moment, he didn't try to persuade Wu Shan, but instead said directly to the shop assistant, "Please find out all the clothes that fit her and let her try them on."

Wu Shan hurriedly tried to refuse and stop the shop assistant, but Qiu Shun stopped her, saying, "Shan Shan, your master said he would buy you clothes, so just buy them without worry. You don't need to worry about the money."

Qiu Shun had already decided that if the young master was unwilling to buy too many clothes for the child, he would simply buy them for him.

Anyway, his master pays him a high salary, and he doesn't have much to spend money on, so buying the poor child a few more clothes isn't a big deal.

Although Wu Shan was wearing a very cheap and worn-out dress from a street stall, the shop assistant did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After all, Qiu Shun was wearing a custom-made suit and had an aura that was not something that ordinary people could have.

Moreover, judging from Qiu Shun's words about "young lady" and "young master," it's easy to tell that Qiu Shun is just a bodyguard or something similar.

The real big shot was the young man standing at the entrance of their shop.

She had worked in this shop for several years and had seen many wealthy and influential people, so she was quite worldly-wise. But she had never seen such a refined and noble young man.

The shop assistant worked quickly, and within minutes had picked out all the sizes of styles that were suitable for Wu Shan in the store.

Wu Shan went to the fitting room for her interview.

Every time she came out wearing her first dress, she was stunned when she looked at herself in the mirror. It was the same white dress, but the one she wore before looked like a cloth sack wrapped around her body.
