Lin Cheng was outside the fitting room waiting for Lin Momo to come out, while the two clerks were discussing quietly off to the side.

“Are these two father and daughter?” the long-haired clerk asked.

The short-haired clerk glanced at Lin Cheng and said, “They look so alike, they are either uncle and niece, or father and daughter, but I think they look more like father and daughter.” 

Hearing this, the long-haired clerk nodded. She said with some surprise, “It’s quite rare for a father to bring his daughter to shop for clothes.” 

“The main reason is that the father’s aesthetics are generally more… you know.”

“That’s true,” the long-haired clerk agreed and said, “But this dad seems to be quite discerning, and he actually picked the most beautiful one in the row at the first glance!” After a pause, the long-haired clerk said again, “I’m telling you, when that dress first arrived here at the store, I simply fell in love with it. If the price hadn’t been so outstandingly impressive, I would have bought one for my niece.”

While the two were discussing in low voices, Lin Momo had already changed her clothes and walked out of the fitting room. 

Sometimes, not only do clothes flatter people, but people also flatter clothes.

Lin Momo’s facial features had always been good-looking, and now that she put on such a pretty dress, it immediately made people’s eyes brighten with delight.

“Oh my, so pretty!” the long-haired clerk couldn’t help but sigh.

The short-haired clerk next to her also nodded in agreement.

The two people stepped forward and gazed at Lin Momo with shining eyes.

“This dress looks perfect on her!” the clerk said to Lin Cheng. 

It really did—Lin Momo looked cute and lovely in this dress. In short, the dress suited her very well indeed!

Looking at his adorable, baby daughter in front of him, Lin Cheng also nodded with satisfaction.

After that, Lin Cheng—on the recommendation of the clerk—picked out several sets of dresses of different styles for Lin Momo, as well as several sets of sports and leisure clothes that were convenient for daily wear.

His daughter has a good foundation, so no matter what style she was wearing, Lin Cheng thought it looked very good on her.

At this time, the clerk brought over another dress that they thought suited Lin Momo very well, and said to Lin Cheng, “Sir, take a look, this one should also suit her very well.” 

Lin Cheng took a look and said, nodding, “Okay, I want this too.”

“This style comes in two colors. Which color do you want?” the clerk asked, adding, “Beige feels more refreshing and is suitable for many occasions. If pink, it will show a brighter complexion and be cuter.”

After hearing what the clerk said, Lin Cheng looked carefully at the two dresses in the clerk’s hands, and finally said, “I want both.” 

“Okay! Should we pack it for you directly? Or wait until the child comes out and let her try it too?”

“No need to try, just pack it up.”

“Okay.”

… … 

While the three of them were talking, at this time, Lin Momo had already changed back into her own clothes and walked out of the fitting room.

She then returned the clothes she had already refolded to the clerk.

“Let’s just stack these here,” the clerk said to Lin Momo with a smile.

After that, the clerk looked at Lin Cheng again and asked, “The dresses she tried on all suit her very well and she looks very cute and pretty. Sir, which ones do you want?” 

After hearing the clerk’s words, Lin Cheng did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Lin Momo in front of him.

“Did you like the clothes you just tried on? Or, perhaps there were ones you liked and ones you didn’t?” 

“…”

Lin Momo bit her lower lip and said nothing, with a bit of confusion in her lowered eyes.

When she was in the fitting room just now, she secretly glanced at the price on the tags and was immediately shocked by the price—a piece of clothing was so expensive?!

Seeing this, Lin Cheng asked patiently, “You didn’t like anything?”

Lin Momo nodded then shook her head.

“If you don’t like it, we also have other items like this here—.” The clerk quickly showed another set of clothes to Lin Momo, “Let’s see if you like it, little one.”

Lin Momo still shook her head.

“I—, I don’t need to buy any clothes,” Lin Momo whispered—and after saying that, she directly pulled Lin Cheng towards the door of the store. She was so strong that Lin Cheng, an adult, was almost pulled along by her!

However, seeing Lin Momo desperately trying to walk out, Lin Cheng still followed her lead and left the store.

… …

Looking at the father and daughter walking away, the two clerks looked confused.

“What’s going on?”

“Didn’t she look very lovely when she tried them on? Why didn’t she want the dresses?”

“That’s right. I think the clothes that child tried on looked very good on her!” the long-haired clerk said. She had been watching everything from the side and she almost couldn’t help but want to buy a set for her little niece.

“I don’t understand…” the short-haired clerk muttered, still looking at the backs of the father and daughter. At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up. “I remember!”

“Remember what?” the long-haired clerk asked.

“The father and daughter just now! They seem to be a celebrity father and daughter team from [Living with Dad]!” the short-haired clerk said excitedly. “I kept thinking they looked familiar… ” she muttered to herself.

“Really?”

“It should be, he seems to be named ‘Lin Cheng’. I didn’t see their part when I watched the show last weekend, but I caught a glimpse of them for a bit while I was waiting for Duan Bei.”

Lin Cheng was not well-known, but as time went on and [Living with Dad] became more and more popular, more and more people also came to know Lin Cheng.

“And I didn’t realize it until just now. The person following them from a distance should be recording the livestream.” 

“Oh! No wonder then. They were probably recording a program at this time. Was it a mission to come here, do you think? Or was it a coincidence that they visited our store but it wasn’t convenient to actually buy clothes.”

“Now that you put it that way, I think so,” the short-haired clerk nodded.

The two found a reasonable explanation for Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s behavior of trying on clothes but leaving in a hurry without buying anything.

“But, you know, that Lin Cheng is so good-looking…”

“That’s right! Are all celebrities really so good-looking?”

… …

As the two of them were talking, another person walked into the store.

“Good evening, sir, may we ask… do you need anything?”

This person was not from the program team, right? The two clerks thought to themselves.

At this time, Wang Yu took out a bank card and handed it to one of the clerks, saying, “The customer earlier who just came, please help me pay for the outfits they tried on.” 

Originally, Wang Yu only came by to bring some documents for Lin Cheng to sign, but just now, he received a message from Lin Cheng, asking him to buy all the clothes that their little young lady tried on.
