245: Chapter 245 Little Secretary - 1

At nine in the morning, everyone gathered in the hotel lobby.

Hearing that today's main activity was shopping, Zhao Yumei and Sun Na were incredibly excited.

Lin Haoxuan, however, had no interest in shopping whatsoever. He yawned repeatedly, making the excuse that he hadn't slept well last night and had a bit of a headache, so he wanted to stay at the hotel and rest.

Hearing this, Zhao Yumei just gave her son a nonchalant glance. "Not feeling well? Fine, then lie down in the hotel. But you have to send me a video every half hour to report what you're doing. If you dare to sneak out to fool around, see if I don't break your legs!"

Lin Haoxuan's face immediately fell.

When going to those kinds of places to play, the biggest taboo was having someone check in on you at any time. Now that his hopes were completely dashed, he had no choice but to head back to his room to play games, feeling resentful.

On the way to K11, Zhao Yumei and Sun Na sat in the back row, whispering excitedly and non-stop, letting out bursts of laughter from time to time.

The two of them were even more solicitous toward Jiang Ye, their attitude so affectionate it was as if they truly were one family.

Through the rearview mirror, Lin Wanxing watched her mother and soon-to-be sister-in-law's impatient looks. She couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive, frequently turning her head to look at the man beside her who was focused on driving.

She suddenly realized that Jiang Ye's plan seemed to have overlooked the most important point—her family's insatiable nature.

She could follow the script and act "aloof" and "not vain," wanting nothing.

But what about Zhao Yumei and Sun Na?

Would they be content just being spectators?

They would definitely find ways to reap benefits from this "son-in-law." Whether the scene would still proceed according to plan then was hard to say.

————

The car smoothly pulled into K11's underground parking lot.

As soon as they entered the mall, Zhao Yumei and Sun Na's gazes locked onto Lin Wanxing in unison.

There was an art to freeloading; overstepping one's bounds was a major taboo. They definitely had to wait for the "official girlfriend" to set the tone first, letting her determine the level of spending for everyone today.

As long as Lin Wanxing spoke up and chose something expensive, they could naturally follow suit and benefit.

Jiang Ye glanced at them, took Lin Wanxing's hand, and asked gently:

"Wanxing, what would you like to see? Today is mainly about buying things for you. Do you want to go look at dresses first? Spring is coming soon, so let's get you some new clothes."

Lin Wanxing looked at the brand logos on the directory board in front of her, pondering slightly.

According to the script Jiang Ye had revealed earlier, they were supposed to casually browse a couple of other luxury stores first, like Gucci or Dior. There, she was to act uninterested and like she didn't really like anything, and then "accidentally" wander into Chanel to face Ye Cheng's "critical hit."

But... she glanced back at the two pairs of eyes behind her that were practically glowing with greed.

She was certain that as soon as they stepped into the Gucci store, these two would shamelessly grab a few items and then pester Jiang Ye relentlessly... Just thinking about that scene made her skin crawl.

Instead of that, why not... why not just jump straight to the core plot! Minimize the uncontrollable factors!

Thinking of this, Lin Wanxing took a deep breath and pointed at the double C logo on the directory:

"Jiang Ye, let's... let's go check out Chanel, okay? I want to look at their dresses."

As soon as she said this, Zhao Yumei and Sun Na almost cheered on the spot.

Chanel!

This is Chanel! The girl finally wised up!

Jiang Ye was slightly stunned and raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Straight... to Chanel?"

Lin Wanxing nodded firmly. "Yes, let's just go to Chanel. I want to see the new dresses."

Zhao Yumei was practically weeping with joy and quickly stepped forward to chime in:

"Right, right, right! Go look at the dresses! Chanel is great; it's a timeless classic. That 'Chanel style' is the best for showing off one's elegance! Wanxing, you should have started dressing yourself up properly long ago!"

Great, great!

It seems last night's fuss wasn't for nothing. Once the girl's body was opened up, her mind followed suit!

She finally knows to take the initiative and ask for good things!

Sun Na also immediately understood and affectionately took Lin Wanxing's other arm:

"Sister Wanxing, you have such great taste! Chanel's dresses suit you best! Nana can go with you to take a look? I love Chanel's designs too!"

Although she was speaking to Lin Wanxing, the corner of her eye flickered toward Jiang Ye like a hook, testing his reaction.

"..."

Jiang Ye looked at the expressions of the three women and raised an eyebrow. While calmly sending a message saying "Plan change, meet at Chanel" to the WeChat group named "Combat Team," he flashed a doting smile and nodded:

"Alright, since you want to go, let's go. You're the protagonist today, so it's up to you."

Following the signs in the mall, the group headed all the way toward the Chanel boutique.

The closer they got to that classic double C logo, Lin Wanxing's heart beat faster.

She kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm her emotions, preparing to face the upcoming disdain and mockery from Ye Qinghan.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ye kept a low profile and glanced at his phone screen as he walked.

The group chat was quiet; neither Ye Cheng nor Su Ning had replied.

Did they not see it? Or were they already lying in wait in the store?

Have these two never worked a job before? How do they not even know to reply with "Received"?

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Chanel boutique.

The bright lighting, exquisite window displays, elegant environment, and the sales associates standing at the door with meticulous makeup all showcased the brand's style and expense.

Jiang Ye put away his phone and was the first to step into the store.

Just as his right foot crossed the threshold and the sales associate's "Welcome" rang out, a crisp, pleasant female voice, tinged with surprise and a touch of coquettishness, suddenly cut in:

"Eh? Big Brother~?"

"...?"

Jiang Ye paused, looked up at the source of the voice, and subconsciously pulled back his foot. He took two steps back and looked carefully at the logo above the door.

That's right! It's Chanel! I haven't walked onto the wrong set!

Wait... why is that drama queen Su Ning here?!

She doesn't have any scenes today! Where's my tsundere ex-girlfriend?
