The Crybaby Mistress GL - Chapter 24

After a long while, Luo Jing was finally able to change into proper underwear and sit down for a decent meal. Chen Xin, having clearly enjoyed herself earlier, was now behaving with unexpected thoughtfulness. She neatly arranged the takeout on the table and even pulled out a chair for Luo Jing. When Luo Jing sat down, her posture was noticeably awkward. She leaned to one side, clearly trying to avoid putting pressure on a certain sore area.

Chen Xin, noticing her posture, became even more attentive. She took the food from Luo Jing’s hands and gently fed it to her. Luo Jing showed no signs of anger or sulking. However, her eyes were red, clearly from having cried for quite a while earlier.

While wiping her tears, Luo Jing made a silent vow to herself. She would never sleep in again. Skipping a single morning wake-up on a holiday had brought about such traumatic consequences. This was a lesson she intended never to forget.

Once they had finished eating, Luo Jing’s body and emotions had calmed considerably. Chen Xin then took her by the hand and personally drove them out.

In Luo Jing’s imagination, a date was supposed to be a sweet affair. She pictured watching a movie together, enjoying a cozy meal, maybe taking a quiet walk in the evening, and then being dropped off at home. Her heart quietly longed for that kind of gentle romance. However, dating Chen Xin was a completely different experience.

Chen Xin claimed she wanted to show Luo Jing the essence of City B. Luo Jing had not expected that this would have absolutely nothing to do with scenic landmarks. Chen Xin drove her luxury car directly to the most bustling commercial district in the city. She pulled into the underground parking lot of a large department store and confidently led Luo Jing to the upper floors.

When the elevator doors opened, Luo Jing was nearly blinded. The decor on this floor bore no resemblance to the ones below. The glittering golden pillars and intricately carved palace-like style created an extravagant atmosphere. A receptionist rushed over to greet them warmly the moment they stepped out of the elevator.

Chen Xin casually gave her name, and the receptionist immediately became more respectful. A different staff member was called over, one who clearly knew Chen Xin personally. Chen Xin introduced her as the personal shopping assistant assigned to help them. This area was a members-only shopping floor, and it was clear that Chen Xin was registered as a top-tier member.

Luo Jing was momentarily speechless. She had never heard of a shopping area with different levels of access. Apparently, regular people were not even allowed to shop on this floor. This felt like intentionally turning away customers. She could not wrap her head around this concept of luxury, but she held her questions in and simply stood by and listened.

Dressed head to toe in designer brands chosen by Chen Xin, Luo Jing looked fair-skinned and delicate. She sat upright beside Chen Xin with a slightly nervous air. The assistant, assuming she was a wealthy heiress brought along for the day, treated her with great enthusiasm, hoping to cultivate another long-term client.

Chen Xin stated plainly, “She will always be coming here with me. Just take good care of her.”

She understood that Luo Jing would not be able to resist the assistant’s sales pitches, so she reassured her. This visit was purely for fun. There was no need to feel pressured or awkward.

Chen Xin had chosen this assistant specifically because she was perceptive. The assistant quickly grasped the situation and adjusted her manner accordingly, focusing entirely on serving the two of them.

Luo Jing flipped through the catalog, her eyes drawn to the elegant outfits the models wore. Everything looked stunning and refined. Even the catalog felt high-end. She paused when she saw a purple-blue gown that caught her interest. She had no idea that Chen Xin was watching her until a voice whispered close to her ear.

“Do you like that one?” Chen Xin asked, noticing that Luo Jing had stopped flipping the pages.

Luo Jing nodded honestly. The assistant, without waiting for instructions, hurried off to retrieve the dress. Flustered, Luo Jing tugged on Chen Xin’s sleeve and whispered, “Maybe we shouldn’t. Everything here looks so expensive…”

The place was obviously high-class. Any single piece might cost thousands. Just thinking about putting one on made her feel itchy all over, as if she would forget how to even walk.

Chen Xin looked at her with innocent eyes and said, “But the outfit you’re wearing now was bought here too.”

In the few seconds it took for Luo Jing to process that information, the assistant had already returned. She led Luo Jing to the fitting room and even tried to follow her in to help with the zipper and other details. Luo Jing was nervous and tongue-tied, unsure how to refuse. Fortunately, Chen Xin arrived in time, nodded at the assistant, and said, “I’ll help her.”

The assistant was a little surprised. Chen Xin was usually the one being attended to. Yet here she was, offering to help someone else? This Miss Luo must be someone very important. Whoever she was, she clearly had powerful backing.

Inside the fitting room, Luo Jing was turning over the price tag on the dress. When she saw it, she gasped. This was not just a matter of a few thousand yuan. There was another zero on the end!

She stared at the tag in disbelief. Even if she sold herself, she still would not be able to buy a hundred of these dresses. It was absurd. Tens of thousands… That amount could buy how many bowls of noodles?

Chen Xin, without a word, began pulling off her clothes. She stripped Luo Jing bare and began slipping the new dress onto her.

“Wait… wait a minute… Don’t be so rough…” Luo Jing was overwhelmed by the series of rapid movements. This was not helping her get dressed. It was more like playing dress-up with a life-sized doll. Chen Xin even grabbed her arm and pushed it through the sleeve.

Terrified that the expensive dress would be ruined, Luo Jing had no choice but to cooperate. Together, they managed to get the gown on in no time. It was elegant and perfectly tailored. Chen Xin stepped back, placed her hand under her chin, and said thoughtfully, “I need to buy you a few pairs of high heels.”

Wearing this dress without heels would be such a waste. She had to get them. Immediately.

Luo Jing grabbed her and examined Chen Xin’s face closely. At last, she noticed something unusual. While Chen Xin appeared normal on the surface, her eyes sparkled, and a faint smile had never left her lips. Luo Jing lightly patted her cheek and said, “You’re far too excited. Calm down right now.”

Chen Xin smiled and took Luo Jing’s small hand, lowering it gently. “I’m not excited. I’m happy. I’m going to buy you so many more things.”

“But everything is so expensive!” Luo Jing still could not understand what there was to be so happy about.

Chen Xin reached into her pocket and pulled out a sleek black card. She placed it into Luo Jing’s hand and clasped their hands together as if they were exchanging love tokens. “Use it freely.”

After that moment, there was no stopping Chen Xin’s wild shopping spree. Luo Jing felt as if she were being buried in a mountain of freshly unboxed clothes, shoes, and handbags. Chen Xin shopped like a woman possessed, as if money had no meaning and everything needed to be taken home.

Luo Jing tried to stop her but eventually gave up. Seeing Chen Xin’s genuine happiness, she could not bring herself to dampen the mood. Chen Xin repeatedly swore that she could afford all of this. In the end, Luo Jing surrendered to the brand-name storm. She did not pick anything for herself but instead chose items for Chen Xin. Her choices were surprisingly good, and she even picked out the two most expensive handbags.

The person who ended up the happiest was the assistant. Her sales for the month had skyrocketed. Holding Chen Xin’s black card, she nearly knelt while swiping it. Luo Jing did not dare look at how many zeros were on that receipt. That was not her world to worry about.

All the items were handed over to the store for home delivery. After several hours of nonstop shopping, Chen Xin took Luo Jing to an upscale restaurant. The rotating rooftop dining room offered a panoramic view of City B. The food was excellent. However, Luo Jing had a fear of heights, and her legs trembled beneath the table.

Trying to hide her shaking legs with the tablecloth, she looked pitiful. Chen Xin laughed openly, earning a sharp glare from Luo Jing.

“Come sit on this side with me,” Chen Xin said, pulling her over. Now they sat side by side, with Chen Xin positioned between Luo Jing and the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

This new seat gave Luo Jing a sense of security. Her legs gradually stopped trembling, and she finally began to enjoy the French dishes that Chen Xin had ordered for her.

“Mm!” Luo Jing had just started to relax when she let out a soft gasp. Chen Xin’s hand was under the table, gently kneading and caressing her thigh.

No one could see what was happening beneath the tablecloth. Chen Xin smiled at her with a calm expression. Meanwhile, her hand grew bolder, lifting Luo Jing’s dress to her upper thigh. Her fingers traced the edge of her underwear, teasing the sensitive area with increasing boldness…
