Chapter 75 Saint

"Ge Jue Why are you here?" Jun Haoxuan exclaimed in astonishment.

Ye Sijue cleared his throat. "Coincidentally, I was on the way. I thought that I'd pick you up."

"I can drive myself there. Why don't you go ahead? I'm sending Ms. Mu to the shopping mall. I'll be there in a jiffy."

"Can't you walk such a short distance alone?" Ye Sijue gave Mu Xia a cold stare.

A deep scowl graced Mu Xia's forehead upon his brusque words. He must have been a saint in his past life. 「How on earth does Sijue have friends when he's so short-tempered?」

Mu Xia pouted before she turned towards Jun Haoxuan with a smile. "Go ahead, I can walk over myself. You don't have to send me off."

"But—"

"Stop dallying! Let's go!" Ye Sijue urged again.

Ye Sijue exited the car and dragged Jun Haoxuan in. Next, he shoved his own personal secretary out of the car.

Mu Xia looked at Ye Sijue with confusion. "What's the matter? Can't you go shopping with another person? Why must Jun Haoxuan be the one who sends you there?" Ye Sijue replied nonchalantly.

"No… I don't need anyone to—"

Before Mu Xia could finish her sentence, Ye Sijue ordered the driver to start the car.

The car sped off into the distance, leaving Mu Xia and the secretary behind.

Ye Sijue's personal secretary had a personality that was a stark contrast to Ye Sijue himself. The personal secretary wore a bright smile and a cheerful demeanor.

"Ms. Mu, it is an honor to keep you company whilst you shop. What brands are you looking at?" The personal secretary glanced at Mu Xia as he spoke.

Mu Xia returned his gaze with a sharp and cold look.

Under her glare, the tone of his voice dropped until it was as soft as a mouse.

In the end, the secretary coughed awkwardly. "I won't interrupt your shopping. I'll follow after you to ensure your safety," he said.

"I said that I don't need someone to keep me company. You should find Sijue or return to the company. I wish to shop alone," she insisted.

Seeing Mu Xia's insistence, the personal secretary left in a hurry.

The enormous shopping mall located opposite the restaurant was called Junyi Mall. Despite its size, there weren't many people in the mall that day as it was a weekday.

The few customers wandering around the mall were mostly rich wives or mothers with their children.

The moment Mu Xia stepped foot into Junyi Mall, she felt a prickling sensation across her skin. It felt like someone was watching her.

Immediately, Mu Xia whipped her head around. However, there wasn't anyone there—only the occasional customer who crossed the path behind her. 「Was it just my imagination?」

Mu Xia turned around again. She looked around and walked into a clothing store that caught her eye due to the beautiful clothes on display.

The moment Mu Xia stepped foot into the store, the shop attendant hurried over to greet her. Yet, the friendliness in her eyes vanished the moment she caught sight of Mu Xia's simple clothing. "You are free to look around as you please. However, no touching is allowed," the shop attendant said rudely.

"How am I supposed to know the material if I can't touch the clothes?" Mu Xia frowned.

The shop attendant clicked her tongue impatiently. "This is Feature. Don't you know all of our clothes are made out of high-quality cotton and linen? Naturally, the prices of these clothes are expensive, starting at five digits figure. If you are uncomfortable with the pricing, you should visit other shops."

When she was overseas, Feature was a clothing brand that Mu Xia wore often. The clothes felt extremely comfortable when worn. Additionally, the designer was a friend of hers.

For the sake of her friend and the comfort of the clothes, Mu Xia ignored the shop attendant's scorn. She continued to choose the clothes in earnest. 「Since it's Feature, I don't have to touch the material. I just have to pick a style that catches my eye.」

The shop attendant scowled when she noticed that Mu Xia refused to leave. 「She even has the audacity to continue shopping! Her canvas shoes look so dirty and ugly. How dare she even step foot into the store! How bold!」

The shop attendant ridiculed Mu Xia in her thoughts as she trailed after Mu Xia. It looked like she was afraid that Mu Xia would steal the clothes.

However, Mu Xia was someone who wasn't easily intimidated by such rude attendants. Despite being aware of the negative thoughts that the shop attendant harbored towards her, Mu Xia maintained her calm composure. She remained unbothered and continued to pick the clothes at her own pace. 「Anyway, I'm not here to bring the shop attendant home. I'm here to buy some clothes.」

Right at that moment, a high-pitched yet familiar voice echoed from the entrance. "Hey, have the new seasonal pieces arrived yet? Do you have the shirt that I reserved during my last visit?"
