Chapter 16: You Have to Accompany Me to the Mall

Li Miaomiao's meaning was crystal clear.

He had to pay!

Lin Yu furrowed his brows. Thinking to himself that women were really troublesome, just as he was about to pick up the phone and tell Xiao Peng to come over, suddenly Li Miaomiao pointed at him, looking like she was "designating" someone, and said with great arrogance, "You have to go shopping with me!"

"On what grounds?" The man looked at her coldly, as if she was wasting his time.

Li Miaomiao's eyes were as shrewd and mischievous as a little fox's, darting around. "It's simple. If you don't go, what if I can't pay when the time comes? But if you're with me, I won't have to worry about that! Oh, right, I have something to talk to you about! For instance, what I should do within these three months, and also, I need to know something about your social connections. Otherwise, when pretending to be your girlfriend, if others ask me something, I'll be completely clueless!" Li Miaomiao blinked at him with a big smile, full of confidence.

After hearing Li Miaomiao's words, the man thought she was right.

There were indeed some things he needed to explain to her carefully, otherwise, they might expose their act.

Moreover, tonight... he had to take her to a place.

He was silent for a moment, then picked up the gray coat on the sofa. "Let's go."

...

...

The largest department store in Sicily.

This was a paradise in the eyes of many wealthy people. Many internationally renowned high - end fashion brands had set up their exclusive counters here. However, ordinary people or those at the bottom of the social ladder could only keep their distance from this place.

Because a pair of socks here might cost as much as their monthly salary.

This was the unfair treatment between the rich and the poor.

Although Li Miaomiao loved money, she wasn't a girl who was obsessed with luxury brands. So she seldom came here. Only on her fifteenth birthday last year, "someone" had brought her here to buy a bracelet.

Although that bracelet had disappeared mysteriously at home later... but she still remembered it clearly.

Walking on the white marble floor of the mall, Li Miaomiao got lost in her past memories, filled with a thousand emotions for a moment.

Lin Yu, wearing sunglasses and a gray - blue checked jazz hat, looked heroic while concealing himself quite well. After all, a person of his status could encounter enemies everywhere, so he had to be extra cautious.

However, since they entered the mall, he noticed that she suddenly became silent and didn't seem to be planning to buy anything. The man asked unhappily, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy things? What are you wandering around here for?"

He had never gone shopping with a woman before, let alone accompany one like this.

Li Miaomiao was pulled back to reality by Lin Yu's voice. She shook her head resentfully. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Where else should we go?"

Apart from this department store, Lin Yu didn't know any other places to buy things.

Li Miaomiao twitched the corner of her mouth. "Things here are too expensive. I can't afford any of them."

"You insisted that I come out with you. Didn't you already plan in your mind to treat me as an ATM?"

Although Lin Yu wasn't looking at her, his words hit the nail on the head, making Li Miaomiao feel embarrassed for a moment.

It was as if this man could read her mind and knew everything she was thinking.

Well, but he was right. That was exactly what she was thinking!

It was just that things here were too expensive! She really couldn't afford them.

Li Miaomiao shrugged indifferently. "The things are too expensive. I'm afraid they won't even suit me if I wear them."

"Then where do you want to go?"

"Pfft, some more affordable stores! There were many clothing stores on the street we passed by just now!"

"Can you even wear those things that cost only a few hundred?" Lin Yu asked disdainfully, and Li Miaomiao almost burst out.
