Chapter 17 God, You Finally Asked Me Out

Wen Chuan grinned and handed a silver ingot directly to the dumbfounded shopkeeper. “These, these, pack them all up for Prime Minister Zhao.”

Zhao Xian looked at the enthusiastic person before her and felt immense pressure, really, she felt quite pressured.

“That’s enough!” Zhao Xian said, lifting the bag that had doubled in size and speaking lightly, “Since you’re so generous, I won’t be polite. Thank you. Whenever you’re free, come to my mansion for a visit.”

“Oh my, you finally asked me out! It’s been three years, exactly three years, and today you’ve said the most words to me. Happiness comes too quickly, I need a moment of quiet.” Wen Chuan heard her words and danced with joy on the spot. “You don’t know, the most common things you used to say to me were ‘go away,’ ‘shut up,’ ‘be quiet’… Oh, I’m a bit excited ⊙⊙!”

Upon hearing the other person’s voice, Zhao Xian couldn’t help but twitch her lips.

“…” Well then! It seems the original host’s social circle is really not ordinary.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Xian, feeling embarrassed, quickly walked away, leaving behind the ecstatic woman still standing there.

Perhaps others don’t understand her mood. It’s like a child who is craving for candy and finally gets it. That’s how she feels at this moment…

…

Zhao Xian wandered around for a while longer. When she was about to head back, she passed by a clothing store and immediately noticed the outfit hanging on the rack inside.

It was a white coat embroidered with blue floral patterns, with a satin sash tied at the waist. Even the inner garment seemed untainted by dust, and he unconsciously thought of Gu Tingshu. This outfit was just like his temperament.

Unconsciously, she found herself standing in front of the clothes. When she came to her senses, she couldn’t help but be stunned. What was she doing?

She was actually thinking about buying clothes for that man.

Had she fallen victim to the common ailment of women—shopping addiction?

This was something she had never done before!

But looking at that outfit, it really suited his temperament.

And it seemed to be just the right size.

“Wrap up this outfit.”

“Sure, Miss, please wait a moment.” The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up instantly upon hearing her request. This outfit had been hanging in the store for a long time without being sold, mainly because it was quite expensive and usually served as a display item.

“I wonder if the lady will pay in cash or if we should send someone to collect the payment.” The shopkeeper smiled brightly, looking like a blossoming flower.

A thousand two silver—it was indeed not cheap.

“Give me the clothes, and have someone from your shop come to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to collect the payment,” Zhao Xian said, her eyes resting on the clothes with a satisfied expression.

Upon hearing the words “Prime Minister’s Mansion,” the shopkeeper’s legs went weak, and she took a careful look at the noblewoman standing before her. She immediately took a step back. “So, it’s Prime Minister Zhao. Welcome to Li’s Tailoring Shop. It’s an honor for us to have you here. Consider this outfit my gift to the Prime Minister as a wedding present! I wish the Prime Minister and her husband an abundance of blessings and happiness, with many children to come.” The shopkeeper’s eyes sparkled with cunning. If the Prime Minister’s husband wore clothes from her shop, it would be great publicity. Therefore, one piece of clothing was nothing.

Many people wanted to give gifts but couldn’t.

She was also quite anxious, fearing that the Prime Minister might not accept it.

Sure enough, Zhao Xian did not accept it; it was best to settle accounts clearly.

“No need, I’ll send someone to pay later.” Zhao Xian said, picking up the clothes and walking away.

“Ah, what a pity it didn’t go through, but it’s also good. Her family’s clothes all have logos. Business will definitely pick up in the future.” Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.

“Attention! From now on, whenever the people from the Prime Minister’s mansion comes here to buy clothes, they will receive a twenty percent discount.”

…

Zhao Xian was unaware of these arrangements. Even if she knew, she could only feel speechless about it.

By the time Zhao Xian stepped into the Prime Minister’s Mansion again, it was already evening.
