Lu Mingfei was speechless, left only to watch their operations in silence.

In the end, he had really lived to become a kept man.

Stepping out of the shop, Su Xiaoqiang checked the time.

"Mingfei, it's time for lunch. What do you want to eat?" Su Xiaoqiang asked for Lu Mingfei's opinion.

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment. "Let's have spicy hot pot."

Su Xiaoqiang's face darkened. "There's no spicy hot pot here."

"Then spicy noodles will do."

Catching the look on Su Xiaoqiang's face, Lu Mingfei tentatively asked again, "Bridge-crossing rice noodles, hot and sour glass noodles, or knife-cut noodles with soybean paste?"

Su Xiaoqiang covered her face; none of those are here, dear!

"Heh, this Jiuguang Department Store is nothing special after all."

With a place this big, they didn't even have regular noodles; Lu Mingfei was heartbroken by the situation.

"I'll take you to find a place to eat." Su Xiaoqiang sighed and dragged Lu Mingfei off to lunch.

After finishing their meal, Lu Mingfei asked, "We've eaten, we've bought clothes, shouldn't we be heading home now?"

Su Xiaoqiang glanced at her phone. "It's only two o'clock, there's still plenty of time. Let's keep shopping."

His heart felt exhausted; Lu Mingfei followed behind Su Xiaoqiang, listless.

This time, it was Su Xiaoqiang picking out clothes. She tried on various styles, asking Lu Mingfei for his evaluation.

Lu Mingfei's reviews were all "very pretty," "looks great," and "even movie stars aren't as beautiful as you." Su Xiaoqiang was very pleased with this, waving her hand to buy everything.

Around four in the afternoon.

Su Xiaoqiang stood in the middle of the mall, locked in an internal struggle. Will this request make Mingfei unhappy? Will he think I'm that kind of woman?

Finally, she steeled herself. With a slight blush, she asked Lu Mingfei, "Um, there's one more shop I want to check out. If you come with me, can you promise not to make fun of me? And don't run away!"

Why wasn't the shopping over yet? After leaving the last store, Lu Mingfei had assumed that was the final one. He never expected there to be yet another.

Sighing, Lu Mingfei said, "Don't worry. No matter what mountain of blades or sea of fire lies ahead, I'm prepared."

Su Xiaoqiang felt a bit more at ease and led Lu Mingfei toward the shop she had longed to visit. She had never had a guy come with her before, but now that she had Lu Mingfei, she could finally go.

Once inside the store, Lu Mingfei fell silent.

He knew Su Xiaoqiang could be unpredictable, but he never imagined she would bring him to a place like this.

The shop was filled with maid outfits, butler suits, JK uniforms, and other such attire.

Once inside, Su Xiaoqiang excitedly grabbed a butler suit and looked at Lu Mingfei. "Mingfei, look! How is this outfit?"

"Although it looks good, I refuse!" Lu Mingfei decisively rejected it.

Su Xiaoqiang's smile froze.

"But I've been wanting to see you wear this for so long!" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei with a pitiful expression.

Lu Mingfei shook his head and made an 'X' with his hands.

"Then what do I have to do for you to wear it?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, deflated.

"It's simple. If you want me to wear the butler suit, you have to wear a maid outfit for me to see." He had never seen a maid in real life and was quite curious, so Lu Mingfei made the suggestion.

Su Xiaoqiang looked at the maid outfits hanging in the store, and her face instantly turned red. "Damn it, that Lu Mingfei!"

But she really wanted to see him in the butler suit. Thinking back to the shows she watched as a kid, seeing handsome guys in those outfits calling out to their "young mistress" was incredibly intoxicating.

After another internal struggle, Su Xiaoqiang compromised. "Fine, how about this: you wear it first, and after you've worn it, I'll wear mine."

"Deal." Lu Mingfei walked straight into the fitting room.

As Su Xiaoqiang waited, Lu Mingfei stepped out.

The wide, folded high collar formed a perfect symmetrical triangle, and the jet-black tailcoat perfectly outlined Lu Mingfei's slender frame. The white shirt with subtle patterns was unbuttoned at the top, revealing his fair neck.

Lu Mingfei looked noble and elegant, like a character who had stepped right out of a manga.

Su Xiaoqiang's eyes widened as she stared at him. She hurried to his side, examining him closely. Looking at his fair neck, she couldn't help but swallow hard.

"So lewd—ah, no, I mean, so handsome." Su Xiaoqiang quickly corrected herself.

"Is this okay?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Make your expression colder and call me 'Young Mistress'!"

"Are you sure?"

"Mm-hmm!" Su Xiaoqiang nodded repeatedly.

Lu Mingfei's expression instantly turned cold. "Young Mistress, it is getting late. You should head home. If we return too late, the Master will blame me."

"Or perhaps, do you intend for me to be punished by the Master?"

"Be punished, then!" Su Xiaoqiang put her hands on her hips, looking completely righteous.

"Tch, so hard to please," Lu Mingfei muttered, turning his head away with a look of disdain.

"You are just too good at this!" Su Xiaoqiang clutched her heart, which was thumping wildly; Lu Mingfei's look of disdain hit her right in the heart.

"Alright, it's your turn now." Lu Mingfei instantly returned to his usual self, urging Su Xiaoqiang to go change quickly.

"Ahhh, that was so fast!" Su Xiaoqiang walked toward the fitting room with a look of reluctance.

Lu Mingfei sat on the sofa in the shop, crossing his legs as he waited for her to change.

Su Xiaoqiang was a bit slower at changing; after waiting for some time, she finally walked out, acting coy.

Her long, raven-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, tied with a white ribbon. The black and white maid outfit fit her perfectly, and her slender legs, encased in white stockings, were incredibly alluring.

As she walked over, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but tug at the white lace hem of her skirt. Her face was flushed red; dressing like this was just too embarrassing.

Lu Mingfei stared, dumbstruck, feeling as if his heart had been pierced by something.

"Is this okay?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, keeping her head low.

"Make your expression a bit gentler, and call me Master for me to hear."

Su Xiaoqiang looked up and glared at Lu Mingfei.

"I'm just asking of you what you asked of me earlier; that's not too much to ask, right?" Lu Mingfei said with a triumphant grin.

"Fine." Su Xiaoqiang unclenched her fists.

"Master." Su Xiaoqiang whispered, head bowed.

"Speak up."

"Master!"

"Look up and let me see your face, and improvise a little more."

Su Xiaoqiang lifted her head, her expression on the verge of tears as she said, "Master, I'm sorry, I won't dare do it again next time!"

"Then I shall show mercy and forgive you!" Lu Mingfei chuckled.

It was finally over. The expression on Su Xiaoqiang's face returned to normal, and just as she was about to give Lu Mingfei a piece of her mind, he suddenly leaned in close.

Lu Mingfei hooked Su Xiaoqiang's chin with his finger and said playfully, "What, you're already at your limit?"

Su Xiaoqiang froze, her face turning beet red, and she stuttered, unable to get a word out.

Seeing Su Xiaoqiang like this, Lu Mingfei decided not to tease her any further.

He quickly released her chin, stepped back, bowed, and said to Su Xiaoqiang, "Thanks for the treat!"

Seeing this, Su Xiaoqiang was both embarrassed and angry. She punched Lu Mingfei hard twice, and amidst his laughter, they bought the two outfits.
