Shopping with the Ice Beauty, a Woman's Innate Talent

Looking at the aggrieved Ling Luochen before him, Ye Chen finally remembered that he had stood her up many times already.

These past few days, he had been immersed in perfecting "Emperor's Supremacy," with little thought to spare for matters between men and women.

Ye Chen did not dare meet Ling Luochen's gaze. His exquisite golden eyes wandered around the surroundings while his right hand rested behind his head, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Seeing Ye Chen act like this, Ling Luochen's anger flared. He stood her up every day, leaving her disappointed day after day. It was simply too much.

"Little brother, you owe me an explanation."

Ling Luochen crossed her arms and glared at Ye Chen fiercely.

Ye Chen knew he was at fault. He stepped in front of Ling Luochen, rose onto his toes, and cupped her icy cheeks in both hands.

He gazed at Ling Luochen affectionately, his voice soft and sweet.

"Sister Luo Chen, it was my fault. I'll definitely make it up to you properly today. Can you forgive me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen pushed off with his feet, lightly jumping up to nibble at Ling Luochen's fair, tender cheek.

Watching Ye Chen's series of moves, Ling Luochen felt the anger in her heart disappear. All she could think about now was forgiving this bad little brother.

Before long, a blush gradually spread across Ling Luochen's snowy, delicate face. Looking at Ye Chen, she uttered a single word.

"Mm."

Seeing that he had soothed Ling Luochen so easily, Ye Chen finally felt the weight in his heart lift.

Then Ye Chen looked at Ling Luochen with his golden eyes and slowly said, "Sister Luo Chen, I'll spend the day making you happy. Let's stroll around Shrek City first."

Ye Chen wanted to take Ling Luochen shopping. After all, shopping was every girl's nature; no girl disliked the feeling of buying things.

Hearing Ye Chen say that, Ling Luochen nodded lightly and agreed to his suggestion.

A little while later.

Holding Ling Luochen's little hand, Ye Chen headed straight for the clothing stores in Shrek City.

As for why he had come here, Ye Chen felt that these would be very useful when he and Ling Luochen got a room in the future.

The two arrived on the streets of Shrek, where vendors on both sides enthusiastically hawked their goods.

When he spotted an exquisite clothing store, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He took Ling Luochen's hand and hurried over.

"Little brother, where are we going?"

Ling Luochen watched Ye Chen quicken his pace and asked curiously.

Ye Chen did not explain, instead keeping it a mystery.

"Sister Luo Chen, you'll find out soon. It's something that can make you even more charming. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Then Ye Chen secretly thought, Of course, it'll make me even more satisfied too.

They arrived at the entrance of an exquisite clothing store. Above it hung a large sign that read: Douluo Family.

Holding Ling Luochen's little hand, he led her inside. The moment he entered, Ye Chen was dazzled by the wide variety of clothing within.

There was everything one could possibly want: all kinds of stockings, as well as beautiful tops, pants, hats, nightgowns...

"Little brother, why did you bring me here?"

Ling Luochen looked at the racks full of women's clothing in confusion.

Ye Chen said nothing. He simply walked over to the shelves of stockings and picked up a shopping basket beside them.

Looking at the Black Silk, White Silk, Silk-in-Silk, glossy stockings, holey stockings, lace stockings, Pantyhose, garter stockings, Leopard Print Stockings...

Ye Chen's eyes instantly lit up. He grabbed every pair of stockings he liked and stuffed them all into his shopping basket.

Among them, Ye Chen also saw many stockings in unusual colors, such as red, blue, purple...

Ye Chen did not hold back on spending. Whenever he saw a pair he liked, he tossed it straight into the basket.

Watching Ye Chen from the side, Ling Luochen's cheeks flushed. She stepped beside him and whispered.

"Little brother, you're buying too many. If I wore one pair every day, these would last me a whole year."

Ye Chen froze for a moment after hearing that, then frowned, clearly having thought of something.

"Then that's still too few. Looks like the ones in my basket won't even last a year."

"After all, sometimes several pairs might need to be changed in a single day."

Then Ye Chen continued picking up bag after bag of stockings and tossing them into the basket. He did not stop until the basket in his hands could not hold any more.

Looking at the basket packed full of stockings, Ye Chen smiled in satisfaction.

"Mm, that's about enough. Not bad."

Before his words had even faded, Ye Chen set the basket of stockings on the counter and had the attendant count them first.

Then Ye Chen pulled Ling Luochen to the clothing section, where all kinds of beautiful clothes lay before them.

This time, Ling Luochen did not merely stand aside as she had while Ye Chen bought stockings. Instead, she moved even faster than he did, rushing to the clothing racks and picking out one outfit after another to try on.

"Mm, this one is nice. Buy it."

"This one's nice too, and that one..."

Ling Luochen directed Ye Chen around. Every time she tried on an outfit and found it satisfactory, she had Ye Chen carry it.

An hour passed.

Standing beside Ling Luochen, Ye Chen was carrying so many clothes that the pile nearly rose above his head.

"Sister Luo Chen, are you done yet? You've already picked dozens of outfits."

Ye Chen spoke somewhat impatiently. Shopping with a woman was such a hassle. Unlike when he had chosen stockings earlier, which had taken only a few minutes.

Hearing Ye Chen, Ling Luochen continued looking through clothes while comforting him.

"Little brother, it'll be quick. Let your sister finish looking at this one first."

Hearing Ling Luochen's words, Ye Chen sighed. He had heard that line several times already, yet she still had not finished looking.

Another half hour passed.

Ye Chen's legs were almost aching to death, but Ling Luochen remained full of enthusiasm, without the slightest hint of fatigue.

Seeing this, Ye Chen could not help but sigh.

"Perhaps shopping is a talent women are born with."

"As long as they're in this state, women won't feel tired."

Finally, after Ling Luochen chose her last outfit, the two went to the counter and paid.

Ye Chen packed all the clothes, along with the entire basket of stockings, into his Storage Soul Tool. Then he left the exquisite clothing store with Ling Luochen.

"Little Chen, where are we going next?"

After buying so many things, Ling Luochen was brimming with excitement. On top of that, she was with the boy she liked, so her happiness was beyond words.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment. Looking at the sky, which was already beginning to darken, he decided to take Ling Luochen to a restaurant for dinner.

"Boss, bring me two servings of Deep Sea Abalone. Make them tender and juicy."

Ye Chen brought Ling Luochen to a fish restaurant for dinner. It was worth mentioning that Ye Chen had eaten here several times before.

The abalone here was truly plump, tender, and juicy, with a delicious flavor that made one feel as though one had ascended to paradise after a single bite.
