Chapter 174: Chapter 174

The taxi followed the bus all the way to a shopping mall. Sheng Jianan watched Tang Yanqi get out of the car and wait at the entrance for about ten minutes. Three girls walked towards her.

Squinting his eyes, Sheng Jianan recognized one of them, seemingly Tang Yanqi’s roommate.

Watching Tang Yanqi and her roommates walk into the mall, Sheng Jianan frowned – wasn’t the plan to have a meal? Why come to the mall? Could it be they need to change into nice clothes before meeting someone?

"Sir, will you continue driving?"

The driver’s words broke Sheng Jianan’s train of thought. Young Master Sheng, with a displeased face, took a stack of bills from his wallet and handed them to the driver: "Wait here."

The driver glanced at the stack of bills, which was at least two thousand. He immediately curbed any trace of impatience. For drivers, wealthy customers are like patrons; as long as they’re paid, waiting is no issue, even if it involves circling the city a few times.

Inside the mall, Tang Yanqi leaned against the escalator and asked, "Why the sudden urge to buy clothes?"

"My sister said she doesn’t have clothes to wear. Since we’re heading out, might as well shop along the way."

Bai Xue said this and playfully winked at Bai Bing. The always poised Bai Bing blushed slightly, and before Tang Yanqi could ponder further, Qi Cheng chimed in: "Oh my, how could Miss Bai ever lack clothes? Well, it’s because... hmm? Right?"

"Chengzi, what you said isn’t right. Aren’t there always missing pieces in a girl’s wardrobe, especially during... hmm times."

Tang Yanqi listened to them, completely confused. None of them explained clearly; each seemed to imply something mysterious. What was going on!

Bai Bing, with her cheeks aflame, glared at them, stepped forward, and hooked her arm around Tang Yanqi’s: "Tangtang, let’s go, ignore them."

Still puzzled, Tang Yanqi followed them as they began browsing store by store. She disliked shopping, especially in malls, not because she didn’t like beauty but because she was poor!

If you can’t afford it after liking it, better not to look.

While Bai Bing and the others shopped, Tang Yanqi waited in the rest area. After visiting who knows which store, Bai Bing suddenly came over and pulled her: "Tangtang, the four of us should buy identical outfits. How cool would that be?"

Before Tang Yanqi could react, Bai Bing had shoved a dress into her hands: "Try it on."

Bai Bing’s suggestion apparently received unanimous approval from the roommates. Tang Yanqi looked at the other two, Qi Cheng and Bai Xue, whose eyes also sparkled.

Reluctant to dampen their enthusiasm, Tang Yanqi took the dress and walked in.

"Wow, Tangtang wore this, and she outright defeated us."

Tang Yanqi herself was stunned by the reflection in the mirror. The dress didn’t look extraordinary but seemed custom-made for her. The pure white complemented Tang Yanqi’s appearance, giving an ethereal, goddess-like impression. She was slender, and the fitted waist accentuated her waist’s delicacy. The dress ended just above the knees, revealing her fair and smooth calves, not only fair but also long and well-shaped, enhancing her entire aura. Even the sales assistant nearby genuinely praised her.
