Chapter 35 – Chapter 35: Learning the Truth Unexpectedly, An Nuonuo’s Emotion

But she only accepted anything under fifteen yuan.

And only one item.

Jiang Xu could only sigh, people were indeed different.

If it were Zhou Qingyue, she’d surely buy the most expensive item.

She would buy as much as she could.

Whether Jiang Xu could afford it or not was not within her consideration.

They arrived at the women’s clothing area.

An Nuonuo was somewhat nervous.

Jiang Xu took her into one of the stores that was less crowded.

“Hello, how can I assist you?” The salesclerk greeted them with a smile.

Jiang Xu’s eyes wandered around.

Then he picked up a white long dress, a set of sporty long pants and short-sleeved shirt, as well as a pink dress that reached the knees.

He handed them all to An Nuonuo: “Try them all.”

An Nuonuo looked troubled and glanced at Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu understood.

She felt that these clothes could definitely not be bought for fifteen yuan.

Jiang Xu said: “Just try them on first, we’ll see if we buy them later.”

“Oh, alright.”

The girl felt it was better not to argue, she obediently went to change.

Before long, the door opened.

An Nuonuo came out from inside.

Jiang Xu felt his heartbeat almost stop.

A white gown fell to her ankles.

Her waist was slender, the eyes moved up.

Only four words could describe her.

Ahead of the pack!

Her skin was even more white and delicate, like jade.

Under the light, it was glowing.

Although the bangs covered half of her face.

But just this figure was unbeatable.

The salesclerk exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, this lady has a great figure.”

An Nuonuo felt a bit embarrassed.

Although the clothes didn’t reveal much, she still felt somewhat uneasy.

Jiang Xu regained his senses, subtly swallowed his saliva.

He casually said, “It’s ok, go try the other one.”

“Alright.”

An Nuonuo quickly went back into the changing room.

Jiang Xu quietly asked the salesclerk how much the dress cost.

“Well, sir, this is the latest style, good material, it has a brand name, so the price is 138 yuan, no bargaining.”

The price was not high.

Jiang Xu also asked about the prices of the other two sets.

One was 99 yuan, the other was 108 yuan, both non-negotiable.

“I’ll take all three, I’ll pay you 325 yuan first, then…”

Jiang Xu leaned over to the salesclerk’s ear and whispered a few words.

The salesclerk nodded, glanced at Jiang Xu.

She thought to herself, why couldn’t she meet such a good guy?

An Nuonuo came out again.

This time she was wearing the long pants.

They looked nice, youthful and energetic.

The last one was the knee-length pink dress.

Jiang Xu glanced at it and almost had a nosebleed.

He quickly told her to change it back.

“Ok.”

An Nuonuo felt a little down.

She thought it was because she didn’t look good in it.

After she had changed back into her own clothes, Jiang Xu said, “The long dress is not bad, it suits you.”

He pretended to ask the salesclerk how much it cost.

“This dress is on sale now, twenty yuan.”

“Alright, I’ll take it.”

Jiang Xu quickly handed the money to the salesclerk.

An Nuonuo tried to stop him but it was too late.

But thinking about the slight difference between fifteen and twenty yuan, she didn’t argue further.

After receiving the money, the salesclerk went to get a box.

Laughing, she said, “Our shop is having a promotion, and every customer has a chance to participate in a lucky draw.”

Eh, another lucky draw?

An Nuonuo felt a bit strange.

The same thing had happened when she went to have the spicy hot pot.

However, Jiang Xu did not give her time to think, taking her hand and placing it inside the box.

An Nuonuo casually picked up a piece of paper.

Then she handed it over to the shop assistant.

The assistant unrolled it.

She then exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, miss, you are so lucky. You’ve won the prize of picking any two clothes from our shop.”

“What?” An Nuonuo blankly looked at the assistant.

Just like a goldfish, she looked extremely adorable.

Jiang Xu patted her shoulder, “You hit the jackpot. We might as well take these two, since you’ve already tried them on.”

“Really… really?” An Nuonuo found this very unbelievable.

“Really, I am not lying to you.” The assistant showed her the slip of paper.

Seeing that An Nuonuo was still in a daze, Jiang Xu told the assistant to pack the clothes.

Then, he slipped ten yuan to her while An Nuonuo wasn’t looking and whispered, “Please add two pairs of white silk stockings in there.”

This was to match the knee-length dress.

An Nuonuo’s legs were a bit too attractive.

Paired with Jiang Xu’s possessiveness, he did not want other men to see too much.

The assistant nodded slightly.

Soon all the clothes were packed. Jiang Xu took the bag in his hand, shook the still dazed An Nuonuo and said, “Let’s go.”

An Nuonuo finally came back to her senses.

Following Jiang Xu out, she mumbled in a low voice, “Something seems not right.”

Jiang Xu did not let her ponder further, “Let’s go, I am kind of hungry. Let’s get something to eat.”

He forcefully interrupted her train of thought.

An Nuonuo didn’t dwell on it anymore and started to beam with joy.

Who wouldn’t be happy after getting two sets of beautiful clothes for free?

“Ah, my stomach feels a bit odd. I am going to the restroom. You wait here.”

Saying that, Jiang Xu dashed off to the restroom.

An Nuonuo waited in place.

Suddenly, she started patting her pockets, “Ah, I might have left my hair tie in the shop.”

After a glance at the direction of the restroom, An Nuonuo jogged over to the shop they had just left.

Just as she reached the shop entrance and was about to go in.

An Nuonuo heard the assistant’s voice. She was conversing with someone.

“You wouldn’t believe it, this young couple came in earlier, they were quite interesting.

The girl probably comes from an average family, so while she was trying on the clothes, the boy paid most of the money.

Then, he asked me to write a lucky draw ticket.

All the slips were written the same thing.

Ah, she thought that she got the clothes worth three hundred yuan for just twenty.

So envious, if only I had a boy treat me like that.”

An Nuonuo froze.

Her heart felt like it had been hit by a huge stone, causing ripples to spread across.

She kept biting her pink lips.

She finally understood why she had felt something was off.

And she thought about the time they had spicy hot pot.

So, this was it.

In her absence, that boy had been doing so much for her.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

A feeling called moved filled her heart.

An Nuonuo took a step forward with the intention of returning the clothes.

But she quickly retracted her step.

She thought of Jiang Xu who had been thoroughly committed to gifting her clothes.

If she returned them now, he would be very angry and sad, right?

She gritted her teeth.

An Nuonuo decided to accept them.

She calculated the money she had with her, which was a little over three hundred yuan.

She decided to buy a gift of equal value for Jiang Xu.

Anyway, the summer vacation was about to start, and she wouldn’t have to eat in the Dining Hall. That wouldn’t cost much.

Having thought of this, An Nuonuo felt slightly relieved.

Turning around, she headed back to the same spot.

A stunning smile spread across her face.

Before Jiang Xu came out, An Nuonuo had already returned.

After he emerged, An Nuonuo said, “Let’s go. My parents said they wanted to have you over for dinner this Sunday.”
