Whether she admitted it or not, she just couldn’t swallow this humiliation.

Gou An, who has not yet completely gotten over the doomed romance of the Titanic, just didn’t want to hear Ye Lang praise anyone else (regardless of gender) as ‘good-looking’—

And what’s more, that person was Lu Wan?

Her honorable bodyguard, who was obviously the wild dog emperor of the lower city, has been lurking beside her for so long for such a person, just to give her that one fatal blow.

He must have different ideas to endure humiliation like this.

From the corner of her eye, she could see the original heroine standing there helplessly, as if she was surprised by Gou An’s sudden appearance, unable to react. 

How could Ye Lang obey someone so much and even praise her beauty…

Lu Wan hung the dress she was holding—which was accidentally a copy of Miss Gou’s—back on the rack. She glanced at Ye Lang, then tugged at Gou Xun’s sleeve, “I’ve already told you, why don’t we try somewhere else?”

There was a hint of embarrassment in her voice.

Gou An’s gaze drifted away from her pulling at Gou Xun’s sleeve, completely ignoring Gou Xun, and finally returning to her bodyguard.

At this moment, after being forced to ‘evaluate’ her, this person has fallen into silence again, just looking at Lu Wan, watching her hang the little dress back on the rack.

Who knew what he was thinking.

… So if I hadn’t said anything just now, this damn bodyguard might have smashed his expressionless face and smiled like an idiot while praising Lu Wan for looking good in that dress?

Gou An was instantly furious at her own imagination.

Suddenly, she didn’t want to breathe the same air inside this store with this group of people for even another second.

A few minutes later, Gou An stood at the doorway of the shop with her arms folded, accepting the now packed dress from the salesperson. She greeted the bewildered Zhou Yutong and Tang Xinjiu, and told them in a relaxed tone that she would go to the jewelry store first to see if they still had the necklace and bracelet she wanted.

After saying that, she turned around, wanting to leave.

But a hand reached out from behind and grabbed her elbow.

“Hey!”

A boy’s voice, somewhere between voice change and maturity, rang out.

Shaking off the restraining force, Gou An glanced at Ye Lang beside her, her gaze explicitly saying ‘Why are you even here?’, then turned around, coldly asking the person who had grabbed her, “Hello, what can I do for you?”

Gou Xun had seen all of Gou An’s weird looks for more than ten years and should have been long used to it by now, but the indifference that had recently appeared in her eyes was completely different from their simple quarrels in the past. It made the young man pause with some apprehension.

She had just ignored him.

“Didn’t you see me?”

“I saw you, and then what?”

The two siblings exchanged looks from identical eyes, and Gou Xun suddenly found himself at a loss for words. After a long silence, he said with a touch of fear and grievance, “How long are you going to be angry about this?”

Zhou Yutong, who went to the same school as Gou Xun and knew exactly how he behaved in school, almost dropped her jaw to the ground.

She even wanted to take out her cell phone to record the scene so that the whole school could enjoy the sight of this school bully crying, probably ruining his reputation for all time.

Faced with her younger brother’s soft, almost coquettish attitude, Gou An seemed indifferent and slapped away the hand that was about to grab her again. “Do you think it’s appropriate to ask me this question when you’re showing Lu Wan around high-end stores buying her clothes?”

“…”

“Fine, I’ll answer you,” Gou An nodded. “I probably won’t stop being angry in this life.”

Gou Xun has never been able to win an argument with his sister in his life, and this time he was suffocated by her few words.

“Does it have to be like this?”

“Yes, it has to be like this.”

Gou Xun could only stare blankly. After thinking about it, the young master’s temper flared up, and he could only say something harsh, “Don’t be so cruel, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.”

Gou An stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder with great momentum, “Who’s being rude? Don’t follow me, or you’ll make me even angrier. Then it won’t be as simple as me just ignoring you.”

After saying that, she retracted her hand, and with an almost audible ‘whoosh’ turned to Ye Lang. She said, without giving him any face, “Next time, if any random person can touch me, I will tell my Dad to replace you with a more useful bodyguard.”

Ye Lang’s eyes moved back and forth between Gou An and Gou Xun. He knew that he had been innocently implicated in this battle, but he still just said, “Hmm”.

He bent down and took the shopping bag from Gou An’s hand.

Miss Gou, walking in front with her head held high, was thinking about other things when she heard the person behind her suddenly ask, “Does that count as well?”

Gou An paused for a moment but didn’t stop. She made a questioning sound from her nose.

“You said,” Ye Lang continued, “‘Countless times.’

“’Either you get out of here today, or if you insist on staying…’

“’I guarantee that something similar to what happened today will happen again.’

“’Countless times.’”

Oh, that.

Gou An narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a half-smile, and glanced at the bodyguard. “Yes, can’t you bear it anymore? If you can’t bear it, you can leave as soon as possible—“

“No.”

Ye Lang lowered his head and looked at the little miss in front of him who had a sneer on her face. Her whole body was like a little hedgehog with sharp spines all sticking out, as if she would jump up fiercely if touched.

Three seconds later.

He was quite calm.

“Just asking.”

“…”

This season’s clover-themed jewelry from VE jewelry brand was indeed extremely popular and was sold out shortly after it was launched on the market.

When Gou Xun brought Lu Wan into the store, Gou An was leaning over the counter, tugging the sleeve of a saleslady she was familiar with, asking her to find a way to help transfer goods from other stores.

Lu Wan entered the door first and was stunned when she saw Gou An, Ye Lang standing behind her. She was already scared by what happened in the high-end dress shop just now, so she turned around now, very much wanting to leave.

“Where are you going?” Gou Xun grabbed her.

Lu Wan broke free from the boy’s hand, “Your sister is here.”

With a cold expression, the young man showed a rare hint of stubbornness. “I’m here! Are you still afraid of her?! I told you, the deposit has already been paid. Once the deposit has been paid, I can only take the things away… I won’t get the money back even if I decide I don’t want them anymore.”

Originally, Lu Wan wanted to go home directly after what happened just now. It was indeed because Gou Xun said so that she reluctantly followed him to the jewelry store.

Unexpectedly, they met Gou An again.

Even more unexpectedly, after their argument earlier, Gou Xun’s attitude has become even tougher than before they entered the high-end dress store.

Although he knew that he should turn around and leave, he still reacted in an instant. Bah! What’s there to feel guilty about? Her name, Gou An, is not on the front sign of this shopping mall!

So Gou Xun held his head high and dragged Lu Wan into the store.

“Please ask the store in Haicheng. It’s a three-story flagship store. It’s impossible that they can’t even take out a small necklace. I’ve been there—”

Gou An was pinching her throat and acting coquettishly with the sales lady. When she turned around, she saw the young man walking towards the counter with an arrogant expression on his face, the frightened Lu Wan following behind like a deer.

Gou An’s face turned cold instantly.

Gou Xun was also very principled this time. Without even looking at his sister, he walked around the counter, found a salesperson at random and took out his reservation form, saying that he had made a reservation earlier for the rental of the latest season’s clover series.

The randomly selected salesperson had no idea what was going on. After checking the information, she turned around and went to the storage room at the back. After a while, she placed the jewelry set that Gou An wanted in front of Lu Wan.

The mother-of-pearl was as thin as cicada’s wing, with the veins of its leaves polished using a special technique, and inlaid with dazzling gems and diamonds. The leaf shape was exquisite and lifelike. The real thing was even more beautiful than the pictures.

… It was hard not to have high blood pressure at this point!

Gou An gritted her teeth, hating herself for procrastinating. She then remembered how she had met Lu Wan in the ice cream shop in this mall that day and that was why she forgot to buy jewelry in the first place, causing her to miss out on everything. 

She immediately hated everything and everyone in this world!

Ahhhhhhhh (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
