Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Coercion Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Coercion “Big sister, this is shopping, not marching, can you walk a little more like a girl?”

“Miss Kong Que, can you not walk so fast, okay?”

“Lin Lan, if you keep this up, I’m not going to shop with you. I’ll go back to school!”

Near Wangfujing, in a bustling commercial district, a certain delicate man hurriedly followed beside a tall, handsome woman with a cold expression, complaining as he hastened his pace.

During the meal, Luo Ziling finally persuaded Lin Lan with his eloquent tongue to go shopping for clothes together.

Actually, Luo Ziling didn’t specifically want to buy Lin Lan a gift, he really just wanted to thank her.

Lin Lan had collected some dirt on certain people for him and delivered it personally; he felt uncomfortable not showing his gratitude in some way.

Luo Ziling knew that Lin Lan was actually very happy to shop with him, she just couldn’t let go of her pride.

Moreover, she had never gone shopping for clothes before; all her outfits, including civilian clothes, were issued by the military.

Their allowance was actually quite high, higher than that of the average office worker, but they rarely ever touched this money.

These people, strictly speaking, were not truly “social beings,” because most of the behaviors that ordinary people engage in, like shopping for clothes or leisure spending, they hardly ever did.

Poor Lin Lan, she didn’t even know how to shop properly, walking so fast Luo Ziling had to jog to keep up.

After Luo Ziling protested a few times, Lin Lan finally slowed down, but still kept her gaze fixed forward.

“Let’s go in and take a look at that coat, it looks quite nice,” Luo Ziling suggested, pointing at a set of trench coats inside a boutique on the street.

Lin Lan turned to look and ultimately didn’t refuse.

It was a long trench coat, in a light coffee color, with a very modern design. Luo Ziling liked it as soon as he saw it.

Lin Lan owned trench coats, but they were black or other similarly deep colors; such coats looked cool but the dark hues gave a heavy impression.

Anyway, Luo Ziling felt that none of the clothes Lin Lan wore seemed comfortable to him.

He had never seen her in uniform; perhaps in uniform, she wouldn’t give off such a somber mood.

Accidentally spotting this trench coat in a store by the street, Luo Ziling felt that tall Lin Lan would look great in it.

He also wanted to see what kind of reaction Lin Lan would have when she wore the clothes he bought.

Lin Lan rarely browsed clothing stores, so when Luo Ziling dragged her into the store, she was a bit reluctant. Moreover, she might not have tried on a trench coat of this color before, so when Luo Ziling pulled her in front of that brightening trench coat, she had no intention of trying it on.

“Miss, this trench coat is our store’s latest high-quality fashion arrival, both the fabric and style are very good. You have an excellent eye,” the sales associate rushed over to greet them, seeing that both Luo Ziling and Lin Lan had an extraordinary aura, and immediately started flattering Lin Lan: “Miss, you are so beautiful, and your figure is so good, wearing this coat will definitely be eye-catching. Our new clothes are on promotion, with a 20% discount. Why don’t you give it a try?”

“Give it a try,” Luo Ziling smiled and said to Lin Lan, “Let’s see what it looks like when you put it on.”

Before Lin Lan could refuse, he took the coat and placed it in her arms.

Lin Lan gave Luo Ziling a complex look, but in the end, she did not refuse, took the coat, and walked towards the fitting room.

When she got to the fitting room, she gestured for Luo Ziling to come over.

“What’s the matter?” Luo Ziling asked, somewhat puzzled as he approached, “Do you need me to hold something for you?”

Most girls carried a bag when they went out, but Lin Lan, a tomboy like her, was never seen carrying one.

But Luo Ziling knew that she had many treasures hidden on her, the gun she carried was definitely on her person, and maybe there were other special combat equipments as well.

Did she want him to look after these things?

But he quickly realized he had thought wrong; Lin Lan was just asking him, “Do I have to buy it if I try it on?”

Luo Ziling was somewhat amused: “We buy it if we like it, and if not, we don’t.”

Lin Lan nodded and then entered the changing room.

Luo Ziling stood guard at the door.

After a short while, Lin Lan came out.

Having put on the light coffee-colored trench coat, her whole style seemed transformed.

The warm hues of the garment made her look rejuvenated, and her complexion appeared softer.

But she still held her own clothes in her hand, so Luo Ziling reached out, “Give them to me!”

Lin Lan was reluctant and gently shook her head.

“I’ll hold them for you, I won’t steal your things,” Luo Ziling joked, but still snatched the clothes from Lin Lan’s hands.

Lin Lan glared at Luo Ziling, but in the end, didn’t argue with him.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror empty-handed, Lin Lan was also stunned.

The woman inside was really beautiful.

Clothes make the man, that saying truly made sense.

“Quite nice,” Luo Ziling complimented with a smile, “As if it was tailor-made for you.”

Lin Lan gave Luo Ziling a sidelong glance, her eyes showing shyness, but she didn’t say anything. After twirling a few times in front of the floor mirror, she stood still again.

Having looked at her reflection intently, she still didn’t express anything.

As Lin Lan entered the changing room, intending to change back into her original clothes, Luo Ziling asked the clerk to prepare the bill, ready to pay.

The discounted price of the outfit was sixteen thousand yuan. Not many would be prepared to spend so much on clothing.

Seeing this young couple make the purchase without any hesitation, the saleswoman was all smiles, quickly processed the sale, and accompanied Luo Ziling to the cash desk.

Having secured the deal, she was set to earn a handsome commission, which naturally made her very happy.

As Luo Ziling was about to pay by card, Lin Lan, having changed clothes, came over.

Seeing that Luo Ziling was already paying, she opened her mouth, wanting to stop him, but in the end, she stayed silent.

Because Luo Ziling took her hand and squeezed it tightly.

The clerk enthusiastically packed the coat for Lin Lan, and even included a small gift. As she did so, her smile was impossible to conceal.

Luo Ziling, holding the bag in one hand and pulling her with the other, left the store. Lin Lan stubbornly said, “I never intended to buy it.”

Luo Ziling ignored her words, “It’s bought now, anyway.”

“How much? I’ll give it to you,” Lin Lan’s tone changed.

“It’s a gift from me. You don’t want to accept it?”

Lin Lan said nothing.

“If you don’t want to accept it, then don’t come looking for me next time!”

“Fine!”

Lin Lan was no longer obstinate.

But Luo Ziling didn’t know what Lin Lan’s “fine” really meant.

Was she accepting his gift, or was she saying she wouldn’t come to him anymore?
