Luoshenxiang.
Standing at the doorway, Shen Qingqing hesitated, "Should we try another shop?"
Fu Jingshu walked into the shop without looking back, "No."
He had specifically investigated. The dress styles in this shop were novel, and the fabrics used were the best.
Shen Qingqing could only steel herself and follow him in. The moment they stepped inside, they were met by Zhang Xiaotao, who came over happily to greet them.
"President Shen!"
"President Shen?" Fu Jingshu’s gaze fell on her meaningfully.
Shen Qingqing’s lips twitched. She hadn't expected to be exposed so quickly. Zhang Xiaotao had spoken too fast, giving her no chance to signal.
Zhang Xiaotao also felt something was off. She looked at Fu Jingshu, then at Shen Qingqing, her gaze shifting evasively.
It seemed… she had said the wrong thing.
Fu Jingshu turned around, his gaze landing on her face, "You opened your own shop, why would you still want to be my assistant?"
Shen Qingqing’s mind raced. Telling the truth was out of the question. But what reason could he believe that wouldn't make him suspect her of ulterior motives?
Over there, Fu Jingshu was slowly approaching her, "You don't happen to have some ulterior motive, do you?"
"No!"
Shen Qingqing retorted reflexively, feeling a bit annoyed. "What motive could I possibly have? Am I after your person or your money? That's a nasty thing to say!"
Fu Jingshu paused slightly and instinctively explained, "I didn't mean it like that. It's just, since you're the boss, why didn't you tell me when I saw you in this shop last time?"
As soon as he said this, Shen Qingqing immediately felt guilty.
She couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xiaotao. The girl also realized she had spoken out of turn and lowered her head guiltily. In a moment of desperation, Shen Qingqing actually thought of a reason, "Actually, I've been paying attention to you for a long time."
Fu Jingshu's eyebrows twitched.
Even Zhang Xiaotao was surprised, and a little confused. The last time these two came, it wasn't like this. President Shen had seemed so indifferent. Had she been playing hard to get all along?
Fu Jingshu said slowly, "You like me?"
At this point, denial was impossible. Shen Qingqing could only brace herself and admit it, "Yes, I just wanted to be closer to the person I admire, so I applied for the job."
Her eyes, full of emotion and shyness, didn't seem fake at all.
Fu Jingshu said nothing.
But only he knew that his heart seemed to skip a beat when he heard those words.
For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became thick and intimate. Zhang Xiaotao stood by the side, feeling incredibly uncomfortable, even feeling like a third wheel.
She even got goosebumps.
She inexplicably felt like she had been force-fed a dose of public display of affection. She had to speak up to interrupt their staring match, "President Shen, are you here to buy clothes today?"
Shen Qingqing was the first to break eye contact and cleared her throat, "No need, we won't buy here."
"Why?" Fu Jingshu questioned, "This place is excellent, and it's your own shop. Surely you trust its quality?"
"It's not about the quality."
Shen Qingqing was eager to take him to another shop, "Master Fu, since you're buying for me, you should listen to my opinion. I'll buy wherever I want to buy."
Fu Jingshu fell silent for a moment.
"Isn't that right?" she asked.
This left Fu Jingshu unable to refute, but he still disagreed with leaving, "Of course, if you like other people's clothes, we can go buy them, but since we're already here, let's buy one now."
The more she wanted to leave, the more he wanted to stay.
Shen Qingqing was almost angered to death. How could this man be so stubborn? Or was he doing it on purpose?
Fu Jingshu had made up his mind to stay and was already observing the shop's decor and rows upon rows of clothes. With a wave of his hand, everything looked good to him.
"This one, this one, and that one. Bring them all for her to try on."
His imposing manner almost made Zhang Xiaotao’s eyes sparkle. She brought out all the clothes in one go, "President Shen, please go try them on!"
Her favorite thing now was to help beautiful women try on clothes here.
Beautiful people, dressed in expensive and exquisite clothes, made for a very pleasing sight. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Shen Qingqing had no choice but to go in with her. At the front desk, there were many pieces of jewelry displayed. Fu Jingshu walked to the counter and began to choose carefully.
The saleswoman at the counter was a little nervous, "Sir, which piece have you taken a liking to?"
"I'll look myself."
Fu Jingshu disliked recommendations and being stared at. With a single sentence, he rejected the saleswoman’s offer, and she could only shyly lower her head to write in the ledger.
As she was writing, she realized her pen was out of ink and prepared to get a new one.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the drawer, Fu Jingshu saw a design drawing inside. His eyes narrowed, but before he could speak, the sound of high heels echoed from behind him.
He slowly turned around and was instantly stunned.
Shen Qingqing was wearing a wine-red strapless evening gown. The color suited her exceptionally well, elegant and mysterious. Combined with her alluring and charming face, she was even more peerless.
However, Shen Qingqing noticed what he was looking at and instinctively walked over, pulling him away and simultaneously blocking his gaze. "Am I beautiful?"
"Beautiful."
Fu Jingshu looked at her intently and uttered those two words with absolute certainty.
"Then let's buy this one…"
Before she could finish speaking, a hand landed on her shoulder. Its warmth made her flinch slightly.
Fu Jingshu felt the cool, tender touch beneath his hand. His eyelashes fluttered, and with a gentle push, he moved her aside, clearly seeing the content of the drawing.
It was the design draft for "Pure White Love."
He was a little surprised, but also felt it was within expectation. He had seen this "Pure White Love" before, and it was indeed an outstanding piece of work.
"So, you drew this."
If she were just a sales assistant, she wouldn't have casually left it in a drawer at the counter.
Shen Qingqing was truly helpless. She had only come to buy a dress, and he had discovered two secrets. But there was no way to avoid it, so she could only admit, "Yes."
As she said the word, Fu Jingshu's eyes seemed to burn even brighter.
Shen Qingqing felt a headache coming on. Knowing his personality, he would surely dig for answers and even suspect her. After all, the designer of "Pure White Love" and the boss of Luoshenxiang, condescending to be his company's assistant…
It looked suspicious from any angle.
"You sold it to Shen Yaoyao."
Shen Qingqing was not surprised when Fu Jingshu said this, "Yes, what, do you want it too?"
She asked casually, but unexpectedly, Fu Jingshu actually nodded, "I can give you double the price to buy it back. I want to give it as a gift."
"To whom?"
She asked almost without thinking.
A smile flickered in Fu Jingshu's eyes, "You."
