Chapter 1607
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
âOh, my god! Youâre right! Mr. Fullerâ¦â
The person was about to start a scene, but another quickly stopped him by saying, âShh! Why are you
yelling? They may be rich, but theyâre human too! Itâs obvious that theyâre wearing masks so they can
go on a romantic stroll like any other ordinary couple, so we shouldnât expose them like this!â
âYeah, youâre right⦠Still, we could tail them and see how rich couples spend their evening together,
right?â
Soon, Ashton and I noticed a group of people creeping behind us and snapping pictures silently on
their phones.
âI thought you said they wouldnât recognize us?â
âMy mistake. Just ignore them.â
How could I possibly ignore them when theyâre practically taking up half the road?
The next thing I knew, Ashton made a blatant public display of affection by holding my hand in front of
them.
I was burning bright red as I felt uncomfortable having that many people staring at us during intimate
moments. Besides, it would ruin our relaxing stroll at the night market if we had a huge group of people
following us around the whole time.
As we walked past the Hanfu flagship store, I had a great idea of how we could shake our âtailâ and
dragged Ashton inside.
As we made our way to the VIP area upstairs, the group of people barged into the store after us, much
to the surprise of the sales staff. âIâm afraid we can only serve a limited number of customers at a time.
Please queue up in an orderly manner while you shop.â
Delighted by my own genius idea, I smiled gleefully as I continued running up the stairs.
We had just made it to the VIP area when the sales staff got into an argument with the customers
downstairs.
âIâm sorry, but the lounge on the second floor is reserved for VIPs only.â
âHow much does it cost for us to become a VIP? Weâll pay!â
âVery well, Sir. To become a VIP, you will have to spend a total of thirty-eight thousand eight hundred
and eighty-eight in a single receipt. Will you be making the payment in cash or by card?â
Naturally, nobody was willing to fork out that much money just to follow us upstairs. Thinking we would
come out of the store eventually anyway, they all left shortly after.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I glanced over the railing and saw that the number of customers in the
store had returned to normal.
âTheyâre just trying to share our joy. Youâre getting a little too worked up about this,â Ashton said after
glancing down the stairs.
He really is dense when it comes to stuff outside of work, huh? Oh, well⦠I guess he used up his quota
for romantic thoughts at the wedding earlier, so he probably wouldnât understand the difference
between me not wanting to share our joy and my desire for some time alone.
âYeah, but I want a peaceful and quiet night for ourselves, one that is free from unwanted attention.â I
then turned toward the sales staff and asked, âExcuse me, do you guys sell any other type of clothing
apart from Hanfu?â
âSorry, Iâm not sure I followâ¦â The sales staff frowned as he eyed us both from head to toe. As if he
had suddenly recalled something, the sales staff then offered his assistance by saying, âOh, we do
make Hanfus worn by servants for our staff members. We also have masks provided by the organizers
of the cultural festival. All you two have to do is log in to your member accounts to claim it. Thereâs a
passage that leads to the back door from the storage room. Iâll show you where it is in a bit.â
He then led us to the counter downstairs, and I logged in using Emeryâs account as I didnât have one of
my own.
After that, the sales staff retrieved the items from the storage room and showed us where the back
door was before leaving us alone.
The service provided was so excellent that I couldnât help but exclaim as I put on the outfit, âThat sales
staff sure is a smart one! I canât believe he figured out what I wanted so quickly!â
