Chemistry. The Arrogance Of The Aloof Man
Before she could react in any other way, the man had already pushed her into the changing room.
Gu Youli was dumbfounded. She was still deciding if she should change into the dress or not. Then she checked the price tag of the dress and got a shock.
Gosh, why was it so expensive? It actually cost 699 dollars.
Gu Youli stood there in indecision for a minute.
Then, she pushed the door of the changing room a little and saw the man sitting on a couch on the side. He was sitting there quietly.
Suddenly, he seemed to have detected her gaze and turned his head to look towards the changing rooms.
Gu Youli quickly closed the door as though she got an electric shock.
What a mess!
Gu Youli thought as her heart raced and her face blushed. She quickly changed into the dress.
The dress fitted her very well, as though it was made for her.
When Gu Youli walked out of the changing room, the sales assistant exclaimed pleasantly. As the man looked up calmly at her, his deep, clear gaze also seemed to have frozen for a few seconds.
Gu Youli glanced at herself in the mirror. It did look quite good. Her skin was fair so she could pull off the white dress very well.
It seemed perfect on her, no matter the style or the details.
It made her look clean and pure but still charming.
“I’ll take it!” The man lowered his head, pulled out a few hundred dollar bills, and put them on the countertop.
Gu Youli was shocked. She turned back to look at him quickly. “Who said about taking this? I don’t want it!”
The air around them seemed to have stopped. The man stood up slowly and looked at her. “You don’t want it? You intend to go home like that?”
His gaze stayed on her for a few seconds before he turned away. “I tore your dress so treat this as compensation.”
He tore it? Compensation? This seemed to be none of his business.
Before Gu Youli could recover from the shock, the man had already walked out and disappeared.
“Eh?…” Gu Youli was a little distracted. She looked at the dress she was wearing and for a moment, she did not know how to react.
Gu Youli did not continue loitering around Jingcheng any longer. She took a cab back to the little county on the same day.
When she returned home, it was already 8 pm. Gu Liangwei saw the new dress on Gu Youli and his eyes lit up. “Wow! Our Youli came back looking different after a trip to Jingcheng. This dress is a good buy. It’s beautiful!”
“Daddy, that’s an exaggeration!”
“It’s not, I really think that it’s beautiful. You’re even more beautiful than flowers!”
Gu Youli laughed helplessly. “Daddy, it’s just a dress. you’re exaggerating. Actually, I don’t really like this dress.”
Gu Liangwei was puzzled. “If you don’t like it, why did you buy it? Was it a gift from someone? Your boyfriend?”
Gu Youli quickly denied. “It’s not!”
However, Gu Liangwei thought that Gu Youli was simply embarrassed to admit to it. “Dad isn’t old-fashioned. I know that youngsters nowadays are mature enough to know their own affairs. If you really have a boyfriend, Dad isn’t against it as long as it doesn’t affect your studies. Bring him over to let me have a look one day.”
As he went on, Gu Liangwei’s wrinkles by the corner of his eyes, smoothened out.
Gu Youli was extremely embarrassed and did not want to continue hearing her father talk about it anymore.
