Chapter 302: Chapter 302

Ji Rui not only went to look at that outfit seriously, but also, surprisingly, asked the sales clerk to take it down for him to try on.

His action left Le Tong utterly speechless in amazement.

To know, although this is a brand counter, to ordinary people, it’s a brand. But compared to the internationally renowned brands Ji Rui often dons, this brand is like a street vendor amongst brands.

When Ji Rui came out of the dressing room, not only the sales clerk couldn’t take her eyes off, even Le Tong was staring with wide eyes.

No wonder people say clothes make the man just like gold foiling makes the Buddha—it’s so true.

Ji Rui’s original rigid outfit instantly gives off the domineering CEO vibe, with an aura of abstinence and dignified aloofness.

Yet, the outfit he’s wearing now surprisingly transformed his entire temperament.

Now, he looks like a cool male model walking on the runway, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, a tight butt, and long straight legs, paired with his handsome, cold face; still unapproachable, but now with a wild and sexy charm.

This kind of aura on him, Le Tong had witnessed once before.

That morning after she was drunk, when she opened her eyes, she saw Ji Rui sitting on the windowsill with his shirt half-buttoned, hugging his knees and bare-footed, with a similar vibe.

However, at that time, besides being sexy, he had a hint of laziness, like a lion that just woke up.

But this Ji Rui in front of her now is full of vigor with a tremendous energy-laden sexuality, like a lion that’s just had a feast, walking steadily and powerfully through the forest.

Ji Rui noticed Le Tong looking at him without saying a word for a long time, unable to guess her thoughts, he raised his thick eyebrows and uncertainly asked.

Le Tong nodded hurriedly, "Looks good! Much better than on the model!"

If this man was a star, she would definitely become his crazy fan, scream for him without reservation, asking for likes, attention, and photos!

Unfortunately, this man only has a face she adores, but inside, he’s nothing more than a rigid, serious, domineering, cold, and suspicious petty man. Chapters first released on novel(ꜰ)ire.net

The sales clerk on the side finally came to her senses and quickly guided Ji Rui to the mirror, "Sir, there’s a mirror here, take a look. The lady’s got a great eye, this outfit indeed looks much better on you than on the model.

The sales clerk’s gaze sticking to Ji Rui was enough to show that the clothes indeed looked extraordinarily good on him.

Ji Rui actually didn’t care about the sales clerk’s words; he only noticed that the person in the mirror seemed like a different person, although a bit unfamiliar, yet unexpectedly comfortable.

And he also noticed that ever since he emerged from the dressing room, Le Tong’s gaze hardly moved away from him, a feeling that greatly gratified his male vanity.

Before, he always thought the saying "a woman dresses up for the one she loves" was a bit far-fetched, but now, he found himself taking delight in being able to hold someone’s gaze.

"Please wrap it up for me."

Soon, Ji Rui returned from the dressing room, changed back into his white shirt and black trousers, but handed the clothes and boots in his hand, along with a pair of pants, to the sales clerk.

Le Tong hopped over in a few quick steps, "You’re really buying it?"

Ji Rui gave her a sidelong glance, "Didn’t you say it looks good?"

Le Tong nodded, "Yes, very good looking. But don’t you always wear this outfit to work?" Le Tong pointed to his standard office attire.

"I can keep it for when we go out on the weekend or something. You can also keep an eye out for anything suitable for me and buy it. That way, Baobao won’t say I dress like an old man all the time!"

Ji Rui said it so naturally, completely unaware that he had casually formed a trio with Le Tong and Baobao, an inseparable unit.

And Le Tong, obviously didn’t notice much, her focus only on the word "old man", she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It turns out, what she had just said in her mind had already been said to this man by Baobao!

Ji Rui, after paying for the clothes, looked sideways at Le Tong, slightly puzzled.

Le Tong coughed twice to cover up her rudeness, "I just think Baobao has inherited your sharp tongue, quite accurately described."

Ji Rui glared at her, "Inherited from me? Seems to me it’s more like inherited from you, along with that quirky personality!"

Ji Rui and Le Tong left the counter side by side, naturally bickering with each other.

Had it been more than half a year ago, Ji Rui would have never imagined that one day, he would be carrying bags of clothes with Baobao’s mother at a clothing counter, and debating about who their son resembles in a situation that only couples usually argue about.

"Clearly it’s because you’re so cold, Baobao had to rack his brains to please you and ended up with such a quirky personality, how is it inherited from me?"

Le Tong was reluctant to admit her precious son’s personality was inherited from her. In her mind, she’s an upright, promising social youth.

Ji Rui coolly glanced at her, "See, even that unreasonable character of yours is just the same."

The two of them bickered all the way back to the supermarket’s self-selection area.

"Do you still need to buy anything?" Ji Rui looked at the results in two full shopping carts and asked Le Tong beside him.

Le Tong had a whole bunch of things in mind that she hadn’t bought, but didn’t want to keep her precious son who had already gone to the hotel waiting and hungry, "Nothing for now!"

Ji Rui, rarely, caught on to what she meant by "for now" and smiled, "I’ll accompany you again another day."

Le Tong, who was looking down to take her wallet, seemingly didn’t catch what he said, replied with a vague "Okay."

Ji Rui’s smile widened, standing behind Le Tong, he remarkably didn’t compete to pay, letting Le Tong hand her credit card and discount card to the cashier.

It wasn’t about being stingy, but the painful experiences from before told him that it’s best not to argue with Le Tong about money matters.

He obviously didn’t know that for someone as wealthy as him, money was just a given, as common as air.

But for a lot of ordinary people, especially those who are poor, money is something hard to come by. So for some proud poor people, giving them money without grounds is equivalent to an insult.

He only knew that several times when he mentioned money in front of Le Tong, it caused her to explode with anger. He and Le Tong rarely managed to get along so harmoniously, he didn’t want such a minor issue to ruin the hard-won amicable atmosphere between them.

Le Tong was helping to hand items from the cart to the cashier, suddenly remembering something, she turned to ask Ji Rui, "Mr. Ji, didn’t you say you wanted to buy something?"
