Chapter 27 You've Fallen for Me?
"By the way, how much does this custom-made suit cost?"
After leaving the store, Chen Jiang belatedly asked...
"Oh, it's not much money. I already said it's my treat today, so you don't need to worry."
Gao Wen didn't want to answer the question, so she turned around and pulled Chen Jiang into another men's clothing store.
A custom-made suit was Chen Jiang's request, so Gao Wen started to freely mix and match different outfits for Chen Jiang.
As the weather turns cooler, it's the perfect time to wear a Burberry trench coat, paired with a classic plaid shirt and scarf for a gentlemanly and classic look.
For those seeking a relaxed style, Gucci is currently undergoing a style revolution, offering a wide selection of retro and artistic styles.
If you're looking for comfortable yet understated luxury, Brunello Cucinelli from Italy is the perfect choice. Known as the king of cashmere, this brand may not be as flamboyant as other menswear brands, but it perfectly suits men who appreciate a low-key philosophy and seek inner comfort.
After browsing around, Chen Jiang initially had some ideas, but he quickly became Gao Wen's clothes hanger amidst the dazzling array of clothes.
Gao Wen's way of buying clothes can be described as simple and straightforward. As long as Chen Jiang's clothes look good to her after he changes them, she immediately chooses to swipe her card. In less than an hour, she has already bought more than a dozen shopping bags and several outfits.
"That's about enough. I can't wear all of them if I buy more."
"How much are these clothes? I'll transfer the money to you."
Knowing that these are all luxury brands and that they can't be much cheaper, Chen Jiang felt a little sorry for Gao Wen's wallet as she swiped her card without any hesitation.
Besides, even if Gao Wen wanted to repay him, he couldn't let her spend so much money. No one would be so ripped off.
"It's really not much money..." Gao Wen ignored her words, her eyes darting back to the jewelry and watch shops. Turning to Chen Jiang, she asked, "Chen Jiang, what brand of watch do you like?"
Rolex, Patek Philippe, or Vacheron Constantin?
Chen Jiang sighed helplessly and pulled back the eager superstar:
"I just don't like wearing watches... Okay, stop worrying about me. You've been wearing this for ages, aren't you uncomfortable?"
"Let's go, I'll buy you a new outfit, and I'll pay for it."
"I already told you I'm buying this for you today, how can I let you spend the money..." Gao Wen became shy and hesitant at this moment.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go."
Chen Jiang was too lazy to argue with her, so he simply dragged her to a women's clothing brand:
"I don't know what you want, so you can choose for yourself. I'll pay the bill in the end."
"Well... okay."
The agreement sounded a bit reluctant, but Gao Wen smiled quite happily.
To Chen Jiang's great surprise, Gao Wen, who had spent a lot of time choosing clothes for herself, was surprisingly simple when it came to choosing clothes for herself. She put together a minimalist outfit of white sneakers and jeans in less than ten minutes after entering the store, and even changed her hairstyle to a ponytail.
When she came out of the changing room, Chen Jiang was truly amazed.
Despite her simple outfit, Gao Wen exudes a unique charm.
Gone is the aura of a top-tier female star; she's simply wearing jeans and white sneakers, with the cuffs slightly rolled up to reveal a glimpse of her slender ankles.
The retro-style updo has been replaced with a neat ponytail, with wispy strands falling casually across her forehead, making her unmade-up face appear even whiter. Her usually affectionate peach blossom eyes are now crystal clear, with a natural blush at the corners resembling cherry blossoms in early spring. When she purses her lips, there is even a hint of childish awkwardness.
Chen Jiang couldn't be sure whether she was acting or if this was her true nature.
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Gao Wen leaned closer and slightly opened her arms for Chen Jiang to see.
Seemingly noticing Chen Jiang's somewhat different gaze, her face flushed slightly, making her appear even more alluring.
"Of course, this outfit is beautiful and the style suits you perfectly."
Chen Jiang suppressed the slight amazement in his eyes and spoke frankly:
"I'm glad you like it..."
Gao Wen suddenly became a little nervous and didn't know what to say.
Chen Jiang looked at her, then suddenly laughed:
"What's wrong, big star? Why are you suddenly so shy?"
Having been through many years of ups and downs in society, and even been divorced once, he was quite perceptive about certain things.
The big star in front of me seemed to have become a completely different person after the accident on set. The way he looked at me started to look strange.
He had initially thought the friend was frightened and that's why he insisted on buying him clothes. He agreed out of consideration for their friendship, but once they got to the mall, he started to feel something was off.
Buying her luxury goods could be seen as a way of repaying him for saving her, but what's with this attitude...? Surely this big star isn't still an innocent girl who has to repay him with her body after being saved?
"Um...it's nothing, I just suddenly feel a little tired."
Gao Wen realized that her emotions were not quite right, touched her slightly flushed face, and quickly explained.
"Tired?"
Chen Jiang picked up his phone and glanced at it: "It's getting late, shall I take you home?"
"Don't......"
Gao Wen immediately denied Chen Jiang's idea, and explained somewhat flusteredly in response to his questioning gaze:
"I...don't really want to go back, I...I'm a little scared."
"Oh, okay? Then I'll take you to Chen Yasi's place."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiang made another suggestion.
"I...I don't really want to go to her place either." Gao Wen was actually a little unsure what reason to give, but she still steeled herself and looked at Chen Jiang, mustering her courage from somewhere, and suddenly asked through gritted teeth, "Chen Jiang, do you have a place where I can stay?"
The atmosphere immediately became awkward after these words were spoken, and Gao Wen lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Jiang's expression.
Chen Jiang was even more bewildered... No way, he just helped out casually, and he actually managed to take down the person?
Then look at Gao Wen. Although she dresses young now, she is still an adult, right? Do you know what that means?
He considers himself to be just average-looking, with no outstanding charisma or anything particularly remarkable about him. You're telling him that a rising star in the entertainment industry has fallen for him because he saved her life?
A few days ago, Chen Jiang wouldn't have dared to do something like this even in his daydreams... but now this situation has actually occurred.
So what Chen Jiang is now suspecting is—could it be that this guy is a little overwhelmed by emotions because he was frightened?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Jiang abandoned these brain-teasing ideas and decided to proceed according to his own logic:
"Gao Wen, you wouldn't have fallen for me, would you?"
