Because Xu Jiayi felt very uncomfortable in high heels, Shi Xinxin took the initiative to be the driver and they arrived at the mall, both of them extremely nervous.
Xu Jiayi was afraid that being discovered by fans in his current state would be even worse than being discovered as himself, while Shi Xinxin was also very worried. If he were to go on strike the next day after being discovered, the magazine would surely fire her.
As the elevator ascended from the parking lot, their hearts pounded. The moment the elevator doors opened, Shi Xinxin was the first to look up, and they were met by a crowd of shopping women.
They stared blankly at the two people in the elevator, and both Shi Xinxin and Xu Jiayi's hearts leaped into their throats. The women looked up at the people in the elevator and exclaimed.
"Wow, you're so beautiful."
Then, they grabbed Xu Jiayi's clothes and asked, "Where did you buy your outfit?"
"And your bag? And your hat." Xu Jiayi quickly covered his hat, and Shi Xinxin pushed through the crowd, pulling him out.
"The elevator is about to close, hurry and get in." As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Xinxin forcefully pushed the group into the elevator, and the doors closed just in time, blocking the frantic women.
Shi Xinxin turned back to look at Xu Jiayi anxiously. Fortunately, nothing was wrong. She checked on him, "Are you hurt?"
The women had been too wild, and she worried that Xu Jiayi, not used to high heels, might get injured in the crush. "I'm fine, let's go, accompany me shopping."
With that, he tossed his bag to Shi Xinxin, swung his hands, and walked ahead as if he were the daughter of the president, hands swinging. Shi Xinxin stood aimlessly behind him.
After an unknown number of turns, Xu Jiayi led her to a men's clothing store and walked in. As soon as they entered, he took off his hat and handed it to a sales assistant.
Shi Xinxin immediately snatched the hat back and put it on her own head. "What are you doing? Are you trying to deliberately expose your identity so that I can't report to the magazine tomorrow?"
Shi Xinxin yelled at him in a low voice, angry. The rich young man looked at the little mouse's angry expression.
He couldn't help but laugh heartily. "Don't worry, I come to this store often. The security is very good. I'm only free here. If you make me dress like this, it's easy for people to misunderstand."
Saying that, Xu Jiayi gestured for her to look at the surrounding store employees.
Indeed, the surrounding store employees smiled politely and stayed in their positions, obeying instructions, not as wild as the female fans outside. Shi Xinxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, while she relaxed, Xu Jiayi's mood became playful. Earlier, Shi Xinxin had dressed him up at the magazine office, trying on various women's clothes under the guise of going out. The foundation on his face made him very uncomfortable.
Now that he was here, he wanted to play a trick on her. This was a high-end clothing store, usually only accessible to VIP members. To become a VIP here, one's personal assets must exceed a million.
This effectively screened out many unnecessary people. Even if paparazzi were lying in wait around this luxury brand store, trying to snap some photos, they would be forcibly driven away by the "staff" inside. Paparazzi were powerless here.
This point was also recognized by many socialites. Xu Jiayi, having shed his disguise, went to the fitting room, changed into comfortable clothes, and began to browse the store.
Shi Xinxin thought that since they were already at the clothing store, her task was basically complete, so she began to wander around the store, casually picking up a few magazines to browse.
The cheapest item of clothing here would take her ten years of hard work to afford, so she didn't plan to pick anything for herself.
Seeing Shi Xinxin boredly flipping through magazines, Xu Jiayi started thinking of ways to tease her.
He had originally intended to pick a men's suit for Shi Xinxin, but after carefully observing her figure.
She had a medium build, not exactly athletic, but with good proportions, and no signs of being bone-thin. A figure like this might look even cooler in men's clothes.
Xu Jiayi pondered for a moment and rejected this idea. He walked forward and came to the "Ladies" section. This luxury brand projected an image of wealth and status.
Besides young people like Xu Jiayi, they also offered a shopping area for mature women, after all, it was much easier to earn money from women than from men.
Although the materials for everything in the store were carefully selected by designers and all handmade, they still needed to be categorized by style and age. When it came to choosing clothes for Shi Xinxin in the "Ladies" section, Xu Jiayi started to chuckle after picking out just a few items.
When he came to Shi Xinxin, full of confidence, he held a leopard print coat, a fox-shaped scarf, and a hat with exaggerated feathers. She looked like the wife of a nouveau riche.
He even took the opportunity when Shi Xinxin wasn't paying attention to place the hat directly on her head and drape the coat over her. Shi Xinxin put down the magazine in her hand. Her entire body had been transformed by Xu Jiayi into the look of a middle-aged socialite.
"Look how beautiful you are now. Don't move, don't move. This look was carefully chosen for you by me, you can't take it off casually."
"Why are you making me wear these things?" Shi Xinxin was somewhat surprised. She couldn't see the shape of the hat, but just looking at the leopard print coat on her body made her want to collapse.
"It really looks good, it's very fitting for a medieval style."
"Medieval?!" Shi Xinxin was astonished. If it weren't for her work assignment, she might have jumped up and beaten Xu Jiayi in front of her.
"Really, if you don't believe me, ask the sales assistant over there." He turned Shi Xinxin around, facing the sales assistant. "Turn around and let her see."
Shi Xinxin was helpless. She thought the leopard print coat was enough to refuse, how could it possibly look good? But at Xu Jiayi's insistence, she had to comply.
So she cast an embarrassed glance at the sales assistant and stiffly turned around. The sales assistant, possessing excellent training, could tell the relationship between the two. Shi Xinxin was clearly going to be teased by this gentleman tonight.
So the sales assistant cooperated, suppressed a smile, and nodded sincerely, "Sir has excellent taste."
Upon hearing the affirmative reply, Xu Jiayi had even more reason to prevent Shi Xinxin from taking off the clothes.
"But I can't take these things." Shi Xinxin said, and tried to take off all the clothes on her body.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just want you to be comfortable." Xu Jiayi began to fabricate another excuse.
