Chapter 2016: Tire a Bull to Death in One Night
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Yi glanced at the back of his hand and saw that the tape from the IV was still stuck there.
“Just a small incident, I went to get an IV.”
“An IV?”
Yan Ci’s expression changed. “With your physical condition, it shouldn’t be that serious. What happened?”
“Don’t make a fuss,” Lin Yi said.
“I got slashed, needed a few st.i.tches, and just had an anti-inflammatory shot.”
“Slashed?”
Yan Ci turned anxiously, “What happened? Let me see. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I had known, I wouldn’t have let you come out.”
“It’s fine, I’m almost fully healed, otherwise I wouldn’t be driving,” Lin Yi said.
“You said you wanted to buy clothes. Where do you want to go? I’ll take you there.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Yan Ci asked, still worried.
“Really, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Seeing Lin Yi so relaxed, Yan Ci didn’t press further but still spoke cautiously.
“I’ll set up the navigation, just follow it and drive slowly.”
“Alright, but why use navigation? Just tell me which mall.”
“Mall clothes are too generic. I recently found a custom store that’s quite good and have been buying clothes there.”
Yan Ci adjusted her hair. “You said you need to buy something too. What are you looking for? I can help you choose.”
“It’s for my future mother-in-law’s birthday. I need to pick out a gift, help me out.”
Yan Ci understood his situation well and accurately grasped their relationship, so Lin Yi didn’t hide anything when mentioning this.
“Future mother-in-law? You mean Ji Qingyan’s mother?”
Lin Yi nodded in response.
“In that case, jade would be a suitable gift,” Yan Ci said.
“The shop I mentioned has many exquisite jade pieces. We can take a look. But what’s the deal with you and Ji Qingyan? It’s been a while, haven’t you sorted it out?”
“Don’t mention it, there’s been too much going on lately. Haven’t had time to think about it,” Lin Yi said.
“But it should be resolved soon.”
“I can’t help you with that.”Yan Ci said gleefully.
“Meanwhile, you can spend more time with me.”
“You’re impossible.”
Soon, following the navigation, Lin Yi parked in front of a shop called LC Custom.
Lin Yi glanced outside. The store’s decor was refined, with large sections made of tempered gla.s.s, exuding a sense of sophistication.
Additionally, the signboard had four small characters under the words ‘Custom’.
Fashion, Jewelry.
Although it was very simple, the meaning was also very clear.
It told others that they not only customized clothes but also jewelry.
“Although not a luxury brand, the items here don’t seem cheaper than those in high-end malls,” Lin Yi said.
“You get what you pay for,” Yan Ci said, looking at Lin Yi with a seductive glance. “But with your wealth, this shouldn’t be an issue. Besides, if I wore cheap stuff, it would embarra.s.s you.”
“Honestly, it’s good you went to university and found a proper job after graduation. Otherwise, you’d definitely be a gold digger.”
“Go to h.e.l.l.”
Yan Ci playfully slapped Lin Yi. “I only act this way with you. I don’t bother with others.”
“I know. Let’s go inside. We have other things to do later.”
“Alright.”
Yan Ci grabbed her handbag, gracefully opened the car door, and got out.
Then, she hooked her arm through Lin Yi’s and they entered the shop.
Inside, Lin Yi found the place meticulously decorated, making even luxury stores look pale in comparison.
“What do you think? Nice, right?”
“I initially thought this place was for women only. I didn’t expect to see so many men’s items.”
Lin Yi glanced around. In addition to clothes and jewelry, there were custom watches on display.
Running a store of this scale must have cost over a billion.
“Of course. If it weren’t good, I wouldn’t have brought you here,” Yan Ci said proudly.
“Their men’s clothes are also great. Your current outfit looks worn out. Let me get you something new.”
“I just washed these clothes yesterday.”
“I’m talking about the style, dummy.”
“Fine.”
Li Chuhan and other women differed here.
Li Chuhan always hand-washed Lin Yi’s clothes and rarely bought new items.
Other women would buy new clothes for Lin Yi but never wash them.
At this moment, a female attendant approached and asked softly.
“Sir, madam, are you looking for ready-to-wear clothes or custom-made?”
“Ready-to-wear first. We’ll look around ourselves.”
“Area A is for men’s ready-to-wear, and Area B is for women’s. Feel free to browse.”
“Thank you.”
Yan Ci led Lin Yi to Area A, intending to help him choose a fitting outfit.
“You go ahead and pick. Don’t worry about me. I’m not an outsider.”
“I’ve already picked the styles on their WeChat account. I just need to try them on later. No rush.”
“Alright.”
Lin Yi responded, and then the two of them entered the men’s clothing area together.
As they moved into the men’s section, they heard a sarcastic voice behind them.
“Well, if it isn’t Director Yan. Didn’t expect to see you shopping here too.”
They turned around to find a young couple standing behind them.
The woman was dressed elegantly in a burgundy dress paired with strappy high heels, her long black hair slightly curled at the ends.
Although beautiful and graceful, she had a hint of a worldly air, lacking Yan Ci’s refined elegance.
The man beside her was also handsome, wearing a suit and tie, with slicked-back hair, but his demeanor fell short in comparison.
During this exchange, the woman in the red dress also sized up Lin Yi, with a barely noticeable smile on her lips.
“Can you shop here, but I can’t?” Yan Ci said coldly, her words laced with subtle hostility.
“That’s not what I meant. I’m just surprised. The famous Director Yan, out shopping with a young man. Aren’t you worried about rumors?”
The woman in the red dress glanced at Lin Yi. “He looks quite decent. Just graduated, I suppose?”
Although Lin Yi and Yan Ci were a well-matched pair in terms of looks, their outfits were not complementary.
It wasn’t that Lin Yi’s clothes were bad; it was that Yan Ci’s attire was too exquisite, making Lin Yi look ordinary in comparison, leading the other woman to mistakenly think he was a recent drama school graduate picked up by Yan Ci.
“That’s none of your business,” Yan Ci said. “You don’t need to worry about my affairs.”
“I’m not worried about you, just concerned about this young man.”
The woman in the red dress looked at Lin Yi with a playful smile.
“Young man, you should be careful. Director Yan is known to tire a bull to death in one night. Make sure to take care of yourself so you don’t get drained too quickly.”
