Chapter 523

“I see Miss Yang is here to look for a jewelry piece?” Bearing a magnanimous tone, Laurel Wang smiled .

“No, I am looking for a pair of socks . ” Slowly, Lexi’s lips stretched from ear to ear as she humored . “Kidding, obviously I am . ” Although she was the only one who found her joke funny, Lexi still chuckled as she glanced at the jewelry display .

“Hey, Lexi Yang! This is not a place for you to act high and mighty . Keep your manners in place!” Stella Du ground her teeth as she scorned, displeased at Lexi’s obvious sarcasm .

“I am just sharing my liberties with Miss Wang . I didn’t think you’d mind such a harmless joke . ” Lexi marginally raised her brows and stared at Laurel Wang, completely ignoring the blabbering Stella Du .

“Did I offend you, Miss Wang?” Tilting her head to the side, Lexi harmlessly inquired which Laurel Wang answered by a warm smile .

“Of course not . ” Laurel Wang mildly shook her head sideways before taking a step forward, stopping at Lexi’s side while her gaze on the piece of jewelry in the clerk’s hands .

“Miss Yang, will you mind if I ask you to accompany me for a while? You see, I am the client who reserved this necklace so . . . ” Just as Laurel Wang could finish her sentence, Lexi gave her an immediate “Sure,” reply .

With that, even though Stella Du hated the idea of Lexi tagging along with Laurel Wang, she didn’t complain . After all, Laurel Wang was the one who invited Lexi, which Lexi shamelessly accepted, knowing she was just being asked out of politeness .

Hence, the three were assisted by the manager in their VIP rooms . As expected of a luxury retail shop, the room didn’t disappoint them .

By the looks of it, Stella Du and Laurel Wang were regular clients in this place . On the other hand, Lexi was considered new .

After all, Lexi had stopped shopping for herself because she has a husband that shopped for her in his own volition — his way of spoiling her on top of showering her with love . Not to mention, her parents- and grandfather-in-law had taken up the obligation for shopping for the twins .

Therefore, Lexi, though a little ashamed, the gifts she bought for the twins could be counted by her fingers . Still, she would rather save her money for the twins’ future than go on a shopping spree since the twins had enough supplies .

Surely, being a mother changed her perspective on so many things, including the way she spent her money, and so on, so forth .

“What do you think, Miss Yang?” Staring at the mirror, a satisfied smile formed on the side of Laurel Wang’s lips . The necklace suited her fair complexion, showcasing her slender neck and collarbones .

“It looks good,” Lexi commented genuinely . It looked good on her, as if they customized it for her to wear . Hence, Lexi didn’t have to lie about it .

“Really?” Glad to hear her response, Laurel Wang’s smile grew brighter . “Do you want to try it?” She offered, brushing her hair to her shoulder and gestured the manager to take it off of her .

“But Sister Laurel . . . ” Obviously against about the idea, Stella Du frowned . In her eyes, Laurel Wang was too kind that she was being taken advantage by it .

After her humiliation back in Ethan Lu’s event, Stella Du held a grudge on Lexi, especially to that pampered Evelyn Lu . Fortunately, Laurel Wang was there to save her and the whole Du family from being crushed by the Lu family .

Therefore, she owed Laurel Wang a huge one . The reason she always tagged along with her and even curry favor to her, to be her friend and also to benefit from the Wang family influence .

After all, Laurel Wang’s father was a senator . Or to be exact, the whole Wang Clan was in the line of politics . Thus, being friends with Laurel Wang out of the blue was one of Stella Du’s achievements — absolving her from her father’s wrath for almost angering Ethan Lu .

“No, it’s fine . ” Lexi faintly chuckled as she waved her hand . “It is indeed pretty but, I don’t have the intention to covet things from others, Miss Wang,” Lexi explained in a low, understanding tone . She specifically used the word ‘covet’, giving another meaning to her statement .

“Besides, it’s just a piece of jewelry, not a person,” Lexi added, still bore the smile on her lips but Laurel Wang’s brow slightly twitched, understanding what she was referring to .

“Can you leave us alone for a moment?” Laurel Wang turned to the puzzled Stella Du and then shifted her gaze to the manager .

“Sure, Miss Wang . ” The manager courtly abided without question . On the other hand, Stella Du’s sullen mood grew worse as it showed on her face .

“Stella, will you?” Still sounding gentle, Laurel Wang inquired yet, it was more like an instruction instead of cajoling .

“Alright,” Though disappointed by the sudden call for privacy, Stella Du obediently abided and dragged her feet out of the VIP room .

Soon, the room was filled with nothing but silence . Lexi was calm as she sipped a cup of tea while Laurel Wang arched her brows when Stella Du closed the door .

“Miss Yang, I see that you want to talk to me about something? Although, I must admit that I don’t know if I deserve your poor treatment . ” Laurel Wang confronted . Her tone sounded the same, yet her aura was entirely different from earlier .

Lexi just arched her brows as she picked up a small envelope from her handbag . She then tossed it on the table, in front of her, as Lexi gestured for her to see it for herself .

Knitting her brows, Laurel Wang slowly reached for the envelope and opened it . It only took her several slow seconds for the pictures — from the clip, Lexi received earlier — graced the eyes of the woman .

“Miss Wang, are you my Ethan’s mistress?” Lexi’s lips curled into a scornful smirk, deliberately using the word mistress for a better result .
