Jiang Ruiling and Wei watched each other in silence. From behind her, a tall figure of a handsome man dressed in black clothes stepped out. His sharp nose and chiseled jaw with his beautiful brown eyes could make any woman swoon over him.

As Shen Fang met Wei's gaze, he stiffened just like Jiang Ruiling had. In just a second, his face turned into varied expressions that changed from shock, panic and calm once again.

There was a stalemate between them where nobody spoke. Shen Fang came forward and stood at attention. "Boss."

Jiang Ruiling said nothing. At this point, she knew that the cat was out of the bag. But she couldn't understand Wei's reaction. She cautiously observed him and the whole time since he saw her coming out of the cubicle, he hadn't said a word. His gaze was unreadable that she couldn't tap into.

Suddenly, Wei's expression slightly changed as if he realized something, and he hurriedly stepped out of the changing room. Jiang Ruiling widened her eyes in surprise.

What happened to him so suddenly?

The plain and blank expression on Shen Fang's face finally cracked. He shut his eyes in despair as he let out a breath.

Jiang Ruiling narrowed her eyes. "Only if you didn't whine so much about the kiss, we wouldn't have been caught."

His mouth twitched. "Young mistress, apologies. I wasn't whining. I was stopping you because it was inappropriate."

"Call me Ruiling when we are alone," she sharply said.

"I am afraid I can't, young mistress. I have certain boundaries."

"Break it then."

"I cannot."

"You cannot hide it anyway. Cousin has caught us."

His expression was grave. "I ask you to please let me handle it, young mistress."

Outside, Lihua waited for quite some time for Wei to come out.

"What is taking Wei so long?"

She was about to call out when Wei himself stepped out. "Ah! You are finally here! What took you so long?"

She looked at the maroon shirt and her gaze sparkled. "Ah, you look so handsome in this!" She furiously clapped. She circled him and thoroughly checked front and back.

"This is perfection…" she drooled.

Wei tilted his head. "Really?"

She bobbed her head. "En! See? These colors look so good on you too! And you only wear grey, black and white," she sighed.

"Let's take this one and try other colors," she checked the price tag, and her eyes popped out of her sockets. She clutched her chest.

"W-why so expensive!?" She said in horror. "This is daylight robbery!"

The saleswoman coughed. "Mam. It's the shirt's fabric and brand. It is famous and well-known."

She shed invisible tears.

"Can you not reduce it a bit? This is too much."

Why is this rich man's husband... bargaining? Isn't he swimming in money?

She smiled. "Mam, for a well-to-do family like yours, this price must be nothing…"

"So what?" Lihua put her hands on her waist. "One should always be frugal. Even if you have money, we shouldn't spend it so lavishly. Right, Wei?"

He nodded. "Lixue is always right."

She beamed. Wei shot a sharp stare towards the saleswoman and she jolted. "Sure! We can reduce it. N-No problem."

After Lihua was satisfied with the price, Wei took out his black card and handed it to her.

The saleswoman - "..."

You have a freaking black card with loads of money stashed in it, yet you bargained! What has this world come to?

They checked out and Lihua said, "Let's go to check some shoes for you."

Wei sighed. "When will we do your shopping?"

She giggled. "After yours and you cannot say no!"

Suddenly, the door to the changing room opened and the two people hiding in there finally came out to face Wei.

Jiang Ruiling and Shen Yang faced Lihua and froze again. But Lihua was the most shocked out of the three.

"J-Jiang Ruiling?"

She was stupefied to see her coming out of the men's changing room with a...man. She stared at Shen Yang and recognized him. She had seen him frequently in the Jiang villa. He was the head bodyguard who served as the chief of the security force.

"You two…" she rapidly blinked her eyes.

Shen Yang respectfully bowed at Wei and asked, "Boss, can you please grant me some time? It seems there is a misunderstanding and I want to clarify it."

Jiang Ruiling said nothing.

Wei's gaze turned cold. "No."

Shen Yang had expected his reaction. The young mistress of the prestigious Jiang family was seen together with a bodyguard in the men's changing room. This would have a huge impact on the family's reputation.

"Boss-"

"No."

He stiffened.

Lihua finally snapped out of the stupor. "Wei, why are you rejecting it? It seems…" she curiously looked at them, "that they want to talk to us about something important. So, we should listen to them."

His eyes crinkled in disappointment. "But we are shopping. I don't want anybody to disturb us."

Shen Yang widened his eyes and stared at him in shock.

Huh?

Even Jiang Ruiling's expression cracked in surprise.

Lihua - "..."

"Wei... we saw them coming together out of the men's room and you have nothing to say to them?"

He tilted his head. "No. Why would I? I already heard them kissing from my cubicle."

*Cough cough*

They choked hard. Lihua was even more stunned than before. But then she realized that it made sense.

Well...what else would they be doing anyway if not for making out?

Jiang Ruiling squinted her gaze. "Cousin, do you really have nothing to say or... object to?"

Wei glanced at her. "No."

"You saw me with Shen Yang and you really have nothing to point out here?"

Shen Yang slightly cleared his throat.

"No," Wei plainly responded.

"Then why did you go away in such a hurry? Weren't you angry?" She asked.

He blinked his eyes. "I wasn't angry. I realized that I wasted too much time in the changing room, and Lixue was waiting for me outside. I didn't want to make her tired and wait any longer. It has nothing to do with you. Why would it?"

"..."
