Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Encountering a Menopausal Clerk

Over four thousand yuan!

That was more expensive than her monthly living allowance!

So she took one last lingering look at the pale pink hooded sweatshirt on the model in the shop window.

Then she turned around and waved to Ye Chen, signaling that it was time to leave.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel curious; he approached and asked in confusion, "What’s wrong? I thought you liked the clothes in this store. Why are you leaving?"

Liao Xuexue hung her head, a bit embarrassed as she replied: "The clothes here are too expensive. I can’t afford them!"

To be honest, her family was just an ordinary one.

Liao Xuexue’s monthly allowance for university was no more than three thousand yuan.

A single piece of clothing here almost cost her a full month’s allowance, how could she dare dream of buying it?

Although before they came to this mall, Ye Chen had said he’d cover the expenses for the day.

Liao Xuexue felt that between her and Ye Chen, their relationship wasn’t yet confirmed.

She had no reason to let Ye Chen buy such expensive clothes for her.

Just when she thought Ye Chen would follow her and leave, suddenly, she felt a warm touch on her little hand.

Looking down, she saw a pair of strong large hands firmly grasped hers.

Next, Liao Xuexue felt a force pulling her toward the store.

Liao Xuexue was startled and exclaimed: "Hey, what are you doing..."

Ye Chen turned his head, his handsome face breaking into a brilliant, sunny smile.

"If you like it, why not go in and take a look?"

"Don’t worry, I meant what I said. Whatever you want to buy today, I will pay for it."

As he spoke, Ye Chen seemed to remember something and lastly added with a sly grin: "Of course, if you’re thinking of getting me to buy a rocket, that I can’t afford!"

"Pfft!" Liao Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh at Ye Chen’s humor.

With some hesitance yet also feeling urged on, Liao Xuexue followed Ye Chen into the boutique women’s fashion store.

Soon, a salesperson came over with a professional smile to greet them.

"Welcome. May I help you with anything?"

Liao Xuexue, feeling quite embarrassed, waved her hands dismissively: "No, no, it’s okay. We’re just looking. Go on with your work."

The saleswoman attending to Liao Xuexue was about thirty years old, had a dignified appearance, and was dressed in a black business suit that accentuated her mature charm.

When she heard Liao Xuexue’s words, she frowned and a fleeting look of scorn crossed her face.

She nodded, then turned away to play with her phone, no longer attending to Liao Xuexue and Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn’t take it to heart.

He followed Liao Xuexue around, and the two of them browsed the clothing store.

Liao Xuexue, beholding the dazzling array of beautiful clothes hung around the store, was almost overwhelmed by choice.

It was as if a little mouse had found its way into a granary, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Every now and then, she’d let out an amazed "Wow," or "This one looks so good."

Many men think that shopping with a woman is a grind.

No, to be precise, it’s both physically and mentally draining.

However, Ye Chen didn’t feel that way at all.

Watching the bubbly, adorable, and vibrant Liao Xuexue, he actually found it to be a pleasure.

Of course - shopping with a wife after getting married.

That was definitely torture...

The two had been browsing in this clothing store for about ten minutes.

Just as Liao Xuexue was about to pick out a relatively inexpensive piece of clothing to check out,

the woman who had been serving her and Ye Chen suddenly came over with a look of displeasure.

Liao Xuexue and Ye Chen were both dumbfounded as they looked at the woman with a stern face.

The woman sized up Liao Xuexue and Ye Chen with a quick glance.

Liao Xuexue looked like a college student, likely because her attire was a bit immature.

Then there was Ye Chen in front of her.

Ye Chen wasn’t wearing any of those expensive suits today.

He was just wearing a simple tracksuit.

Suddenly, the woman let out a mocking laugh and said, "If you’re not buying, can you stop loitering around here?"

After that, she snatched the piece of clothing from Liao Xuexue’s hands with displeasure, arranged it a bit, and hung it back on the clothes rack nearby.

"Messing up the clothes and making me clean up after you!"

The two were once again bewildered.

What kind of ridiculous rule was this?

Coming here and we can’t even look around?

Liao Xuexue was inexplicably scolded by this woman and felt somewhat aggrieved.

She lowered her head and complained, "If we don’t look, how do we know which one suits us?"

Perhaps the woman didn’t expect Liao Xuexue to actually talk back to her.

So she became even more aggressive, her face scrunched up in a bitter expression, and her tone rose significantly.

"Stop looking! Just by looking at the two of you, I can tell you’re just penniless college students. You can’t afford the clothes here, so just get lost!"

When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn’t help but frown.

This was the first time he had seen someone do business like this.

The owner of this store really had bad luck, running into such an employee.

At this moment, Ye Chen snorted coldly and said to the woman who was acting like a shrew, "Who told you we can’t afford it?"

"Haven’t you heard the saying? The customer is God. Is this how you treat God?"

"That’s for customers with money!" The woman immediately retorted and then rolled her eyes at Ye Chen.

She thought to herself, this little boy whose hair is not even fully grown dares to preach to me?

In my life, I’ve seen more people than you’ve eaten meals!

From the moment you two walked in, I could tell that you are just a penniless couple.

Perhaps feeling humiliated by Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue’s retort, she crossed her arms over her chest, looking at them with a scrutinizing expression and said, "Although our store’s brand isn’t as well-known as those top brands, the average price of our clothing is around three to four thousand. Do you think poor students like you can afford it?"

"At this age, you don’t focus on studying and instead indulge in these vain pursuits. Are you living up to your parents’ efforts and your teachers’ nurturing?"

Liao Xuexue’s eyes reddened a bit as she listened to the woman berating her harshly.

And Ye Chen’s expression also became icy cold.

What is this woman’s deal?

Is she sick?

I came here to spend money, why am I being inexplicably scolded by you?

"I say, big sister, whether we’re poor students or not, even if we are, it’s none of your business, right?"

Ye Chen was quite irritated as he spoke, and after finishing, he took a good look at the woman in front of him.
