Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

After dinner, Sheng Yang took her to the shopping mall upstairs.

When they entered the elevator, Xiang Ran loosened his hand and was squeezed by the people coming in behind, and the two were separated.

There were several people in between.

Sheng Yang is tall and eye-catching.

Plus, what he wore today looked very elite.

The Patek Philippe watch on his hand silently endorses the man's worth.

The light from the elevator ceiling also filled his face with light.

Several girls secretly looked at Sheng Yang's face.

A middle-aged man kept staring at the watch on Sheng Yang's hand.

It depends on one's own opinion.

But Sheng Yang didn't look away, his thin lips were sharply pursed, and he stared blankly at the center seam of the elevator.

Xiang Ran covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed secretly.

Suddenly Sheng Yang glanced at her coldly: "Come here."

Xiang Ran didn't move.

Sheng Yang frowned and stretched out his hand slightly.

The people in the elevator automatically moved closer together, creating some space.

Xiang Ran was gently pulled by him and held in his arms.

Sheng Yang held her hand and gently placed it on his waist: "Be smart."

-

When getting out of the elevator, Xiang Ran could still hear people behind her whispering.

Probably because they didn't expect that they were a couple.

-

When they walked to the jewelry counter, Sheng Yang saw Xiang Ran's gaze lingering on him, so he stopped in front of the T counter.

He whispered to her, "I once bought you this brand of handcuffs. Do you remember?"

Xiang Ran nodded: "You shouldn't have thrown it away, right?"

"They're all in the safe." Sheng Yang gritted his teeth, "The password is the date of the day you ran away from home, remember?

"Hahaha, I remember." Xiang Ran said with a smile, "How could I forget? I still have the plane ticket."

-

A cashier came forward and greeted them enthusiastically: "These are our new bracelets. There is a promotion in the mall today."

Sheng Yang asked her, "Do you want to buy a ring?"

Xiang Ran felt that she had just refused to return to China to get the marriage certificate, which had annoyed him.

Feeling bad, she decided to actively cooperate with him in buying the ring: "Okay!"

The teller led them to the ring counter and introduced: "Take a look at our six-claw diamond ring, a classic wedding ring style. Miss, you can try it on."

Xiang Ran tried on several models and found them all good.

She turned around and asked Sheng Yang casually: "Old——"

The easy-to-call "husband" became "come over here and take a look. Which one is better?" after seeing Sheng Yang raise his eyebrows at her.

"Old—what?" Sheng Yang asked with a smile.

Xiang Ran didn't look at him, staring at the ring under the glass: "Old friend!"

The teller was a little embarrassed, but with her keen sense of money, she glanced at the "old friend" next to Xiang Ran.

He immediately smiled and said, "Sir, look at this young lady's hands. They look great with any ring. By the way, this one on her finger is 3 carats, which is worth over RMB. If you buy it this weekend, we will give you a shopping voucher."

Sheng Yang asked, "Do you have any couple's rings? Something simple, just a circle. We want to buy a friendship ring."

The teller was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Yes, yes, please follow me."

In the end, Sheng Yang chose a pair of the simplest and cheapest rings.

The style is so simple that there is not even a diamond on the ring.

After the discount, a pair of rings costs less than 20,000 yuan.

"How is it? Friendship Ring, do you like it, old friend?" Sheng Yang asked.

Xiang Ran swallowed and said, "Not bad."

Sheng Yang's expression was calm: "Oh, then wear it."

Leaving the T counter, Xiang Ran quickly followed him: "What's wrong? Are you angry? I just slipped up."

Sheng Yang said calmly: "I'm not angry. I'll take you clothes shopping..."

Xiang Ran grabbed his hand: "Are you really not angry?"

The dog man turned around and snorted: "Guess?"

-

Logically speaking, a customer like Xiang Ran who wears no makeup and looks a bit shabby when entering a luxury store would easily be ignored by the snobbish cashier.

But who made her stand next to an elite man?

The tellers at both the luxury jewelry store T and the famous Chanel store X welcomed her warmly.

But then again, ordinary people may not look good wearing high-end luxury brands.

Xiang Ran was glad that she had good facial features and a standard figure.

I tried on a few skirts, which were pretty good.

Clothes look better on her than on the hanger.

Finally, Sheng Yang took the initiative to choose a white dress with blue edges and sequins for her.

When I checked out, it was over 100,000 yuan.

Xiang Ran thought that if she went back to China to buy it herself, she could probably buy a hundred better-looking skirts in an ordinary shopping mall with that price.

Um.....more than that,

I guess I can buy 500 of them?

Sheng Yang took out his card expressionlessly and paid the bill.

The teller smiled even brighter.

She kept praising Xiang Ran for her good temperament in the skirt.

Sheng Yang turned around and told Xiang Ran, "Just keep the skirt on, no need to change. Shall we buy another pair of shoes?"

The teller immediately brought out several pairs of high heels of different styles and squatted down to help Xiang Ran try on the shoes.

Having not worn high heels for nearly two years, Xiang Ran put them on and found that she had grown a lot taller.

Standing next to Sheng Yang, his head almost reached Sheng Yang's shoulders.

The aura also improved.

It is true that clothes make the man, and height also reflects one’s aura.

Sheng Yang put his arm around her waist from behind and said to her in the mirror, "Just buy the pair of shoes you're wearing, because they have the highest heels. Close your eyes, and I'll give you another gift."

Xiang Ran closed her eyes.

The man's tall nose poked her cheek.

The cool metallic texture touched the skin of her collarbone.

"Okay. Open your eyes and see if you like it?"

Xiang Ran opened her eyes—a sapphire necklace was hanging around her neck.

A large sapphire set among several diamonds.

Brilliant.

Xiang Ran had no idea about jewelry, but such a big gem—it shouldn’t be cheap, right?

Her face turned red.

Pulling his sleeve, she whispered, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me a necklace, clothes, and shoes today?"

"I bought the necklace a long time ago, when I was on a business trip to Country Z. I had intended to give it to my wife when I got back... but unfortunately, she was gone when I returned. Now—I'll just give it to an old friend." He put his hands in his trouser pockets, took a few steps back, and said calmly, "It looks great on you. It matches your clothes very well."

The two tellers standing by were stunned.

It turns out they are not a couple,

Is it an old friend?

What kind of “old friend” would give me such an expensive necklace?

-

As they walked out of the mall, Sheng Yang took off his suit and draped it over her shoulders.

"Do your feet hurt?" he asked.

Xiang Ran shook his head.

"But I think you don't walk very naturally." He stared at her feet. Her slender ankles were so beautiful.

"I haven't worn high heels in a long time. It's okay, we'll be home soon." Xiang Ran took advantage of the fact that no one was around and grabbed his arm. "Hey, are you still angry?"

Sheng Yang said, "No."

"Then why are you acting a little weird?" Xiang Ran shook his arm and acted coquettishly.

"Is it weird?" Sheng Yang stopped and said, "Shall I carry you up the stairs on the overpass?"

Xiang Ran nodded obediently.

Leaning over his broad back.

Sheng Yang: "Do you remember what I carried you on my back last time?"
