"Perfect! This looks perfect. I will add this to my billing list." Li Xue said as she moved her hands on a fabric of the three-piece suit she selected for Shufen. It was equally tough for her to decide on it. But the moment she got an eye on it, she could imagine it on his firm body that has always made her weak.
The saleswoman smiled but her face was reluctant. "Madam, we would do that. But just for a reminder, this piece might not be the one that could exactly twin with your daughter's dress you picked. Do you want to see other options?"
The saleswoman was quite professional. She didn't forget what Li Xue had instructed her first while coming to this section of clothing.
Li Xue stared at the whitish-grey three-piece suit when she heard the woman but then shrugging her shoulders, she rejected, "Nope it's okay. You can forget my previous words; I will take this one itself." She said and agreeing with her, the saleswoman nodded.
"Seems like Madam has really liked this for sir." She said, and Li Xue laughed before shaking her head.
"Though I like it, I am selecting it not for just that reason. You can say I am being selfish. My daughter is already so like him that if I make them appear with twinning clothes, I would be the one standing odd one out. So, this piece would be perfect." She said and at her humorous words like that, the saleslady gave a soft chuckle.
"Take this and add it to Madam's bag." Then calling an assistant, she gave him the piece before turning again to Li Xue to ask, "Madam, if you have any size alteration, you can tell us here or we can provide the service fa …"
Before she could complete her words, Li Xue shook her head, understanding what it was about. "It's okay. You can pack this up. This would fit him well; I am sure of that." She said and the woman was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe it as if it was really impossible.
"Madam, are you sure. I mean this suit is designed, taking the measurement of a male model, your husband might not be …" Before she could complete, Li Xue's brows got raised at her words and the saleswoman understood her wrong. She was just a sales executive and it was not her position to question this type of content from the customer.
Bowing her head, she apologized with embarrassment, "I am really sorry, Madam. I shouldn't have. I will send it right away." She said before gesturing to the shop assistant to be quick on his steps.
Li Xue looked at the woman's flustered expression and gave a soft chuckle. Then shaking her head, eased her fluster to say, "It's okay. I can understand."
And once again at her words, the saleswoman was at a loss. Understand? Did the lady mean that she knew that the luxury she was carrying was simply not easy to get provided by men who fit the criteria of model figures? Weren't all rich men in the city old and burly? Then how come she was still this confident to have a husband who would fit in that costume?
The saleswoman was pretty curious, but she knew she couldn't be blunt to ask it on the woman's face. So, not letting her curiosity take her best, she forced herself to forget that one topic and look at others. After all, her curiosity won't help her earn the money she needs for her expenses.
"Madam, suddenly remembering, I feel recently our store has got one piece in women's clothing that would go well with both the two pieces that you have finalized. I mean to say that it would help you twin with your daughter, while it would also give you a good complementing contrast when you would stand with your husband." The saleswoman said.
Li Xue thought for a while and said, "Something that would bridge a relationship between the other two dresses?" she asked as her eyes got slightly smaller with interest.
It took a while for the saleslady to understand the meaning of her words. But when she did, she nodded. "Yes, Madam. Something of that sort. You can come with me. I will help you take a look." She said Li Xue nodded.
As the saleswoman led Li Xue, she kept her informing more about the dress they were about to see. "Madam, that dress is the only one piece in our store. Earlier it has come as a coupled piece in our store, matching with the three-piece suit you just took in your list, but later it was taken away to be sold off separately in the other section." She said and hearing her Li Xue nodded in understanding.
After not too long, they reached the ladies' section and the saleswoman turned to ask her colleague, "Where is the grey laced petal evening dress kept?" The other woman pondered for a second and then gestured towards the mannequin to say.
"A staff just put it on the show there." She said and the previous saleslady turned to smile at Li Xue to gesture.
"Madam, you can rest here, I will go and bring that piece for you. Just give me a moment." She said and when Li Xue nodded to her, she turned to leave while Li Xue went to take one of the seats on the sofa. All her bodyguards stood behind her. Although Li Xue felt awkward with people turning to stare at her, still after promising to take her safety seriously, she was in no mood to give that awkwardness and importance.
Li Xue looked around the store when finally, she saw the saleswoman returning. With her, there was a shop assistant, carrying a dressed mannequin. Her gaze halted at the dress. As she was informed, she could see it to be the connecting link between the dresses she got for her princess and Mr. Beelzebub. The saleswoman was not wrong to say all that to boost up the style of the dress.
With one glance, she was sure that there was no reason for her to miss the piece. So, the moment, the saleswoman came near, she stood up to say. "I will take this one."
"I will buy it." Right when Li Xue said, another voice also came with exact firmness, making Li Xue turn to look at the person.
"Ms. Zhang!" It would be not a lie to say that Li Xue was surprised to see the woman here. Were her instincts from all this while right? Could it be possible that the sour gazes that she had been feeling all this while were not out of her delusion but from Zhang Xiaotong? After all the way the woman was looking at her now was not saying otherwise.
