Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 56: My Princess

"Huh?" Li Jingjing was momentarily stunned, then her cheeks flushed red. "Yang... Big Brother Yang, what did you say?"

Yang Chen realized his wording was a bit off and smiled, "I meant you can go to the fitting room now. I've asked them to bring in the selected clothes for you. Try each set on and then choose the one you think looks best to come out."

Li Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the few female shop assistants around them smiling knowingly at her, she wished she could find a hole to hide in.

After Li Jingjing was taken to the fitting room, Yang Chen quickly walked around the women's clothing area, picking up several sets of clothes he had memorized before. He separated them and arranged them neatly, then had a female shop assistant take them into the fitting room.

Several female shop assistants were amazed to see Yang Chen deftly selecting and coordinating four or five sets of clothes. Since they worked in such a prestigious brand store, they naturally had a certain sense of fashion and aesthetics. Yang Chen's choices were clearly not random; although they hadn't seen how Li Jingjing looked in them, they were certain it was a very tasteful selection.

"This young lady is so lucky to have such a considerate boyfriend," one of the shop assistants sincerely commented.

Yang Chen didn't explain anything and just shook his head with a smile.

Another assistant asked curiously, "Sir, are you a designer? Or do you work in the fashion industry? You seem very familiar with our Paris World brand."

"I have a few friends who are more knowledgeable in this field. I just know a little bit," Yang Chen replied.

That was true. Paris World was ultimately just an upper-middle-tier brand. Their clothing designs weren't too sophisticated. With Yang Chen's experience dealing with those old fogies for many years, analyzing this kind of ordinary foreign brand wasn't too difficult.

When women pursue beauty, they always appear particularly meticulous and patient, so men always have to wait quite a while to see the carefully dressed result.

After nearly half an hour, Yang Chen and the female shop assistants were chatting almost to the point of discussing childhood bedwetting incidents when Li Jingjing shyly walked out of the fitting room.

As everyone looked over, they subconsciously held their breath, speechless for a moment.

The girl's ponytail had been let down, and a cascade of soft, straight hair hung in front of her, slightly obscuring her enchanting face, which was flushed with shyness. Her delicate and fresh features suddenly seemed so lively and enticing.

The white off-the-shoulder dress fit perfectly, with natural folds at the girl's wrists and chest, lace patterns tracing along her graceful waist and extending to the fluffy skirt. The sheer skirt shimmered with a faint golden hue under the lights, accentuating the glimpse of smooth, delicate leg flesh underneath, like jade bathed in warmth.

A pair of stylish white sandals encased Li Jingjing's fair, dainty feet, her cute and tender rosy toes breathing the air.

Li Jingjing had the typical figure of a delicate beauty from the Huinan Water Town, neither exaggerated nor petite.

Pure as water lilies, naturally unadorned, the girl's unique pure and elegant aura finally irresistibly pervaded the surroundings.

"Goodness, can our clothes in the store achieve such an effect..." A salesperson exclaimed in disbelief, instinctively praising.

Seeing everyone staring at her in awe, Li Jingjing felt both shy and delighted. Her innate love for beauty couldn't help but make her spin around, looking at Yang Chen hopefully. "Big Brother Yang, do I look good?"

"You are gorgeous, my princess," Yang Chen smiled and bowed like a knight.

Li Jingjing was an English teacher, naturally understanding the meaning of this phrase. The joy in her heart made her forget why Yang Chen spoke English in the first place. She felt like her heart was about to leap out, her body turning into a flying bird.

"Accept your praise, my knight..." Li Jingjing lifted the hem of her dress and returned the gesture happily.

A salesperson stepped forward, smiling enviously. "Miss, could we take a photo of you as a souvenir of the most beautiful moment in our store?"

Li Jingjing hesitated. Ultimately, she just wanted to hear Yang Chen's praise. As for taking photos for others to see, she was still quite shy, so she looked at Yang Chen for guidance.

"Of course, our Teacher Li is a beauty. There's nothing to be afraid of," Yang Chen encouraged.

"Well... alright," Li Jingjing agreed with a serene smile.

After several salespeople enthusiastically took photos, Yang Chen had them bring out all the selected clothes again and asked, "We'll take all of these. Can you calculate how much it will be?"

Li Jingjing took off her dress and changed into a more practical outfit—a pure white women's shirt paired with brown coarse fabric shorts, giving her a lively and daringly sexy vibe. When Yang Chen mentioned buying everything, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Big Brother Yang, there's no need to buy everything, right?!"

Yang Chen chuckled, "You're not just wearing it once, are you? You can't wear the same outfit every time you go out with those people."

Li Jingjing still felt it was too extravagant but didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, miss. You've provided us with such a good publicity photo. We'll sell them at half price," the saleswoman kindly said with a smile. "Originally it would be over six thousand, but this time, we'll give you three sets for the price of three thousand."

Three thousand was indeed very cheap for Yang Chen, so he directly paid with his card.

Li Jingjing felt a bit reluctant; three thousand was almost half of her monthly salary. She wondered if all the clothes she had from childhood to now added up to three thousand. This time, she spent three thousand on clothes in just one day.

"Alright, my princess, it's getting late. It's rush hour now, and there will be heavy traffic outside. It'll be around six by the time we drive to the Heavenly Kingdom. Let's go," Yang Chen said.

After Li Jingjing made up her mind to pay Yang Chen back later, she stopped thinking too much and happily let Yang Chen lead her out of the store.

However, just as they were about to enter the elevator, Li Jingjing's phone rang. She answered the call, her expression somewhat embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Leader Jiang. I had something to do with my brother this afternoon, and now my brother is giving me a ride. Thank you for your kind offer."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jingjing smiled apologetically. "It was our English department head who called. He's hosting the gathering today. He said he would come pick me up at school, but since I wasn't there, I told him my brother was taking me, and he agreed."

"Your department head is a man, right?" Yang Chen's sharp ears picked up on the man's voice in the phone call, sounding somewhat displeased.

"Yeah..." Li Jingjing lowered her head. "He's just a colleague. There's nothing between us," she hurriedly explained. "I even gave away the flowers he gave me to other female teachers. Everyone got one!"

Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh and cry at her cute thoughts. "I see you're not thinking too much. Let's go, don't keep them waiting."
