After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

Seeing this, another salesperson quickly walked over.

With a broad smile, the sales clerk immediately began to flatter him, "Sir, you have a very good eye."

"This dress is called Snow Lotus Dream, and it's our store's prized possession."

"Ordinary people can't afford it."

"If you were to buy it and give it away, you would not only win the favor of the recipient, but also truly demonstrate your strength."

The salesperson was right about one thing.

That means ordinary people simply can't afford it.

This prized possession has been displayed in a glass case for a very, very long time.

Expensive, yet unsellable.

The head office is quite anxious and has already issued orders.

This prized possession must be sold within the specified period.

Otherwise, they should all be kicked out.

So when Yan Xiong seemed very interested, the salesperson went to great lengths to promote the product to him.

After hearing what the other person said, Yan Xiong subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Yan Niannian.

This dress suits her very well.

She would look beautiful in it.

He has always been a person who repays kindness. Yan Niannian had just helped him, so he decided to buy this dress as a thank-you gift.

Having made up his mind, Yan Xiong took out a card from his pocket and said, "Please wrap this dress up for me."

"Yes, yes, sir!"

The clerk, beaming with delight, took the card and hurried off to process the paperwork.

A short while later, she returned carrying an exquisite handbag.

Approaching Yan Xiong, she respectfully handed him the shopping bag. The saleswoman beamed with joy, "Sir, here is your dress, please take it."

"Ok!"

Nodding, Yan Xiong reached out and took the dress.

Then, he turned around and walked towards Yan Niannian without hesitation.

……

Meanwhile, Yan Niannian was struggling with a dress in front of her.

This dress is also white.

Mermaid silhouette, elegant knee-length.

There were no unnecessary decorations; it looked clean and tidy.

It's also the cheapest item in the store.

Even so, the price still made Yan Niannian feel extremely distressed.

Have no idea!

Who told her to be poor!

Upon seeing this, the sales clerk's expression immediately turned sour.

She couldn't help but frown.

Although he tried to maintain a respectable appearance, the impatience between his brows and the contempt and disdain in his eyes could not be suppressed.

Turns out he was a penniless wretch.

Really.

It was a complete waste of her precious time.

Just then, Yan Xiong walked over and said to Yan Niannian with a smile, "Miss Yan, thank you for your righteous help just now."

"Here's a small gift for you, just to express my feelings."

"I hope Miss Yan won't find it offensive."

As he spoke, Yan Xiong reached out and naturally handed the tote bag towards Yan Niannian.

Yan Niannian was slightly taken aback.

The others stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

His eyes were filled with deep shock.

That's their prized "Snow Lotus Dream"!

In Yan Xiong's mouth, it became nothing more than a "small gift"?!

It was just a small gift?

Without even blinking, he casually gave it to Yan Niannian, whom he had just met?

God!

It’s incredible!

Why don't they get to have such a windfall?

Thinking of this, the sales clenched their fists, their eyes filled with resentment and complex emotions as they looked at Yan Niannian.

I felt incredibly resentful.

Yan Niannian snapped out of her daze.

Her expression turned serious. "Sir, thank you for your kindness. What I did just now was nothing more than a small favor."

"I will not accept the gift."

After saying that, Yan Niannian nodded at him.

She had been hesitant before, but now she just wanted to buy that white dress as soon as possible.

Then, she quickly left, no longer wanting to have any further contact or entanglement with the man.

So after paying, Yan Niannian didn't even turn her head back.

Just left.

only……

Just as she stepped out of the clothing store and reached the corner, Yan Niannian suddenly stopped in her tracks.

A strong sense of discomfort washed over me.

Clutching her chest, Yan Niannian gasped for breath.

A splitting headache.

Blood-red skies and piercing cries intertwined in scene after scene.

Like a fleeting shadow, it quickly surfaced in my mind.

It was that horrible dream again!

Previously, because my mind was preoccupied with things at the orphanage, this nightmare had stopped for a while.

I never expected it to come so suddenly.

and……

What made Yan Niannian uneasy was that this time, within the faint blood mist, Yan Xiong's face actually appeared!

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked terrifying.

He just stared at her... stared straight at her!

After a while, the strange, painful sensation gradually subsided.

Yan Niannian looked dazed.

He didn't even notice that his back was already damp with a thin layer of cold sweat.

Why did she see Yan Xiong's face in that terrible nightmare this time?

And why did I feel so sad when I met his bloodshot eyes?

It felt like being gripped tightly by a giant hand.

Even breathing became difficult!

Frowning, Yan Niannian's cool and beautiful eyes showed a hint of confusion.

But she soon felt relieved.

Yan Xiong's actions must have frightened her, which is why she had a stress reaction.

After all, what man gives someone such an expensive gift right after you've just met them?

Correct!

That must be it!

After shaking her head with a wry smile, Yan Niannian didn't think much of it and left with the clothes in her hands.

……

Looking at Yan Niannian's retreating figure, Yan Xiong felt a mix of emotions.

More than anything, there was profound shock.

She left so decisively.

Not only was he decisive and swift, but his demeanor, as if avoiding a snake or scorpion, made him seem like some kind of man-eating monster.

And her eyes...

Clean and pure, without any greed.

With such high quality and temperament, she is definitely a wonderful girl.

Yan Xiong gave a wry smile.

Then he looked down at the beautifully packaged bag in his hand and felt a pang of regret.

The gift was never given.

Pity.

After all, he genuinely wanted to give it to her.

The sales clerk who had just served Yan Niannian naturally noticed the regret that Yan Xiong was showing.

Her eyes darted around.

A greedy glint shone brightly in his eyes.

Rubbing her hands together, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, the sales clerk took two steps forward and moved closer to Yan Xiong.

"Um... sir, please don't be angry. That young lady was ungrateful and didn't know what was good for her."

"How about this, you give me the gift!"

"Look, I'm young, I'm good-looking, and I have a great figure. I'm definitely no worse than that lady from before."

"and……"

"I'm obedient, I'll do whatever you ask, and I'll make sure you're comfortable."

The sales clerk blushed with excitement as she said these words.

If Yan Xiong were to take a liking to her and keep her as a mistress, she would live a life of luxury for the rest of her life.

Why would I need to do this kind of job where I have to read people's faces?
