Chapter 377: Chapter 377

The bright and straightforward smile, along with those long, slender, and straight beautiful legs.

Although Sophie only scored an eight in his heart, compared to these women, she could be considered goddess-level.

Thinking that he could have perhaps gotten her with a lie today, Li Jing couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful.

But then he shook his head and dismissed the idea. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽

Obtaining women through deceit, Li Jing thought, could not only bring trouble but also felt too lowly a method.

Since becoming wealthy, he had come to enjoy straightforward relationships, preferably settling everything directly with money.

As for deceiving others, he had no interest and found it troublesome.

"If there’s another chance to meet that girl, maybe I could try paying for it."

Even though Sophie wasn’t the top among the women around Li Jing, since he came to Hai Province, apart from the perfectly waist-hip-ratio-ed Shi Yang and the mature aura of Huang Qin, Sophie was the most beautiful woman he had seen so far.

Li Jing continued to let Zeng Chao rest for a day, while he himself planned to go to a nearby mall to buy some clothes.

Since Li Jing had brought almost nothing but necessities, he planned to buy some summer clothes here.

According to his current spending habits, after checking the location of luxury brand stores in the mall, he directly drove Zeng Chao’s car over.

In the mall, whether it was because it was still morning or that luxury stores generally didn’t have many visitors, Li Jing looked around and could almost count the number of customers with his fingers.

And the sales assistants in the stores all stood around idly at the storefronts, each playing with their phones.

The more diligent ones were tidying the clothes on the hangers.

Li Jing casually walked into a luxury brand store.

Upon seeing this, the sales assistant in the store habitually said a welcome phrase with indifference, thinking he was just a window shopper that would leave after a glance.

But when she noticed the brand of clothes he was wearing and the watch on his wrist, her expression subtly changed, she quickly brightened up and stepped forward with a smile, asking, "Sir, is there anything you need?"

Li Jing didn’t notice the change in her attitude, he simply pointed at a few displayed clothes and said, "I’ll take one of each of these three sets, I’ll try them on."

Upon hearing this, the sales assistant was slightly moved, and after asking Li Jing’s size, she quickly fetched the clothes and added, "Sir, this short sleeve is the latest model, priced at three thousand five hundred yuan."

After saying this, she saw that Li Jing’s expression did not change, confirming his financial strength, and decisively stopped probing and began to wholeheartedly serve Li Jing.

Li Jing’s expression remained calm as he took the three sets of clothes to the fitting room.

In the mall, two girls strolled leisurely, arm in arm.

"Feifei, are you really going to shop here? These are all luxury brand stores."

Wang Xiao looked at the high-end decorated stores and couldn’t help but shrink her neck and whisper.

"Of course, I’ve been eyeing that Nano Monogram mini bucket bag for a long time. I was broke in college, but my salary just came this morning, I can’t wait any longer."

Sophie’s gaze was firm, showing no trace of her friend’s nerves, as she strode straight towards the LV store with her long legs.

"Welcome to LV, ladies, do you need any help?"

Seeing the two tall figures at the entrance, a sales assistant in the store smiled and went up to greet them.

"Hello, I want to buy the Nano Monogram mini bucket bag, do you have it in stock?"

Sophie straightened up and directly asked for the bag she wanted.

Unlike other girls, she didn’t like to spend too much time browsing in stores, instead, she would directly buy what she liked.

So she could often finish her shopping in less than an hour.

"We do have stock of the Nano Monogram mini bucket bag, but you might have to buy it along with some other items."

The sales assistant explained with a smile.

Sophie was taken aback, this was her first time buying luxury goods. Confused, she asked, "What do I need to buy it with?"

"Our scarves, perfumes, or card holders are all options."

"So you’re telling me I need to buy additional items?" Sophie widened her eyes gradually, clearly this situation was beyond her expectations.

"If you want to see it that way, ma’am, yes."

The sales assistant kept smiling, "For popular items like ours, they’re often bought along with other things. I think this bag suits your style perfectly. Would you like it?"

Hearing this, Sophie’s expression stiffened slightly.

Beside her, Wang Xiao was embarrassed to the point of secretly tugging on her sleeve, whispering, "Feifei, maybe we should just leave..."

"What do I need to match with? Let me see first."

Sophie was a bit reluctant, biting the bullet as she asked.

"Of course, please follow me."

The sales assistant noted their changing expressions but didn’t reveal it, she walked to the counter and continued, "Ladies, this LV Monogram classic printed silk scarf is 90 centimeters by 90 centimeters and is currently priced at four thousand..."

"The scarf is four thousand?"

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Xiao widened her eyes and turned to Sophie, "Feifei, didn’t you say the bag you wanted was around fourteen thousand? And matching items cost four thousand?"

"Ma’am, if you want to buy the Nano Monogram mini bucket bag, in addition to this scarf, you need to buy at least one hair clip."

The sales assistant picked up a hair clip and said, "This LV Zippy coin hair clip is priced at two thousand three hundred yuan."

"Two additional items?"

Sophie was shocked as well, she quickly calculated the prices.

With great effort, she saved the money to buy the bag, which cost around fourteen thousand, but with the matched items, it would cost over twenty thousand, far exceeding her budget.

Originally, if the matched items weren’t expensive, she might have gritted her teeth and just bought them.

But she didn’t expect the match cost to be over six thousand. Only now did she truly feel the expense of luxury items.

"Feifei, this is too expensive... let’s forget it."

Wang Xiao didn’t want Sophie to spend unnecessary money and pulled her to leave.

Seeing Sophie hesitate, the sales assistant smiled and said, "Ma’am, although you need to buy additional items, the scarf and hair clips you’re buying are also from LV, they give a great impression as gifts in the future."

Hearing this, Sophie was extremely hesitant.

She had only graduated a half year ago and was a junior flight attendant, with a monthly salary of only about seven thousand.

Plus, she was used to spending money extravagantly, saving over ten thousand took her nearly half a year.

If she really wanted to buy it, she could only borrow money from Wang Xiao.

But by the look of her friend, she clearly didn’t want her to spend this unjustified money, so there was no way she would lend her money for that.

Understanding all this, Sophie realized the financial pinch she was in for the first time, and she had to give up on the bag she had longed for, turning away reluctantly.

"Sir, these are the three outfits you tried on earlier, and the three pairs of pants to match, totaling 175,000 yuan."

Just as Sophie was about to leave the store, she suddenly heard another sales assistant’s voice inside, and she couldn’t help but be surprised, turning her head to look out of curiosity.

Spending 170,000 on clothes, it was the first time she had seen someone with such extravagant spending.

When she thought it might be a wealthy lady or a middle-aged tycoon, she saw a familiar figure.

"It’s him?! Feifei, isn’t that the guy you like musc..."

Seeing Li Jing as well, Wang Xiao was so surprised she blurted out.

Before the word "playboy" could be fully said, Wang Xiao’s face changed slightly, and she quickly swallowed the rest of her words.

Li Jing also turned his head in confusion, and upon seeing Sophie, he raised an eyebrow:

"Is it you? Are you here shopping too?"

Sophie first widened her eyes, seeing the several LV bags he was holding, feeling both shocked and stammering, she answered, "I, I’m just looking around..."

"This lady wants to buy our popular Nano Monogram mini bucket bag."

At this point, the sales assistant’s eyes lit up as she seized the opportunity to smilingly explain to Li Jing: "She really likes our bag, but since it needs to be bought with additional items, she’s still deciding."

Hearing this, Li Jing already guessed most of the situation, suspecting that the matching items exceeded her budget.

This was a common awkward situation for many buying luxury goods for the first time.

Before Sophie could respond, Li Jing calmly said to the sales assistant, "How much is it? I’ll pay for it as well."
