âWhat a coincidence.â
Bai Xianyu walked into the hall and looked around at the pile of clothes that had yet to be packed. âWhat a coincidence.â
Xiao Zheng looked at his young masterâs calm and surprised expression and could not help but twitch his lips.
Why didnât he realize that Young Master had such talent in acting?
Ever since he knew that Fifth Miss Bai often appeared on this street, he had thought of coming here even before he recovered.
Now, he had been waiting for a few consecutive days before Fifth Miss Bai appeared.
Xie Xingyunâs lips curled up. âAre you here to buy things too?â
Bai Xianyu smiled and said, âThis shop is under my second brotherâs name.â
âThatâs good.â Xie Xingyun put down the tea. Flis tone was cold and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. âSince itâs your second brotherâs shop, I believe you know about it?â
âSomewhat.â
Xie Xingyun stood up and walked towards her. His tall and straight body stopped three steps in front of her. He placed one hand on the shelf in front of her and his gaze focused on the top of the girlâs head. His fingers tightened slightly. âThen⦠can you choose one for me?â
Bai Xianyu walked to the pile of clothes and casually picked one up with a puzzled expression. âThere are so many here. Donât you like any of them?â
Xie Xingyun looked up. âMaybe I missed something.â
Bai Xianyu thought about it and did not agree immediately. âIs what you said to Aunt Sheng true?â
âAunt Sheng?â
âShe is the shopkeeper who went to get the clothes. Didnât you just say that if thereâs anything you like here, then all the clothes of the guards and maidservants in your residence will be made here in the future?â
The manâs eyelids lifted slightly. âReally.â
Bai Xianyuâs eyes lit up.
Even if it was just Xie Xingyunâs house, there were more than 200 people in the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor. If they were to be in charge in the future, it would be a lot of money.
Xie Xingyunâs hand relaxed into a fist and he placed it gently on the shelf. His gaze followed the girlâs footsteps.
âIf theyâve seen all these, pack them up and put them away. Go and get a few new ones.â
âYes, Miss.â
At this moment, Aunt Sheng came over with a few pieces of clothing in her hand. As she walked, she smiled and said, âYoung Master Xie, take a look at our latest style. I guarantee that wearing them out wonât disgrace youâ¦â
The moment she met Xie Xingyunâs gaze, the rest of her words were stuck in her throat. The manâs eyes instantly turned cold.
âYoung Master⦠Uhâ¦â
As soon as Bai Xianyu turned around, Xie Xingyunâs eyes returned to normal.
He slowly leaned to the side, looking calm and noble.
âYouâre here, Aunt Sheng. Let him take a look.â
Shopkeeper Sheng was also a smart person. She felt that she had offended this young master. She was afraid that something would happen if he stayed any longer. Her eyes darted around and she smiled. âMiss, I suddenly have a stomach ache⦠Please let the other assistants take them first.â
As she spoke, she frowned and held her stomach, looking like she was in pain.
Bai Xianyu frowned slightly. âShall I get someone to send you to the doctor?â
âXiao Zheng.â Xie Xingyun smiled meaningfully. âBring her to the doctor.â
Xiao Zheng nodded and immediately helped Aunt Sheng out.
At this moment, the staff who had gone to the storeroom to get clothes had yet to arrive. Only Bai Xianyu and Xie Xingyun were left in the room.
Aunt Sheng brought Xie Xingyun to the VIP room. Only the back door was open, the front was sealed. Before Xiao Zheng left, he even closed the door considerately.
Bai Xianyu did not notice these details. She took the dark red robe at the top. It was luxurious and extraordinary. âHow about this?â
Xie Xingyun moved closer, and the distance between the two of them was only an armâs length.
He touched it and said seriously, âThe patterns on this are not bad.â
âYou like it?â
Xie Xingyun thought for two seconds. âIâll try it on.â
Bai Xianyu took out the entire robe. The color of this robe reminded her of what Ji Shuang had told her that day. If those candies were really sent by Xie Xingyun that day, shouldnât she say thank you?
It seemed that in this life, what she had said the most to Xie Xingyun was thanks.
Xie Xingyun said that he wanted to try it on and took off his outer robe in front of her. Bai Xianyu subconsciously looked around. There were only the two of them left, and the air in the room seemed to have immediately become much thinner.
The man took off his outer robe, revealing his broad shoulder blades. The red robe made him look noble.
Bai Xianyu felt that this door was tightly closed, and there was always a hint of ambiguity that could not be dispelled. She hesitated for a moment and wanted to go forward and open the door..
