4: Don't fight for bread, fight for face

An hour later, Yan Xiaoli entered the restaurant.

It was clear she had made an effort to dress up and had just showered; she looked much more radiant.

Especially that tight Bao Tun Qun, which highlighted her figure perfectly.

Pan Han couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaoli also stared at Pan Han for a long time, her expression slightly surprised.

"Is this still the loser Pan who just broke up?" Yan Xiaoli spoke first.

Pan Han looked down and scanned himself; clothes make the man, as the ancients truly said. An expensive outfit indeed made Pan Han look much more energetic.

"I've always been this handsome; it's just that no one noticed! You're not bad either!"

"Really? This sister has always been this outstanding!"

After speaking, the two exchanged a smile.

"Do you want to drink?" Pan Han asked.

"Let's have red wine with the steak. The restaurant you chose today isn't cheap, so I'm reminding you to watch your wallet!"

"Don't worry, starting today, I'm going to live a different life!" Pan Han said fiercely.

Yan Xiaoli naturally didn't know the deeper meaning, thinking he was just going to pull himself together and work hard to make money.

"That's right. Think about it, leaving your hometown to become a Beijing drifter, what was it all for? This isn't a place for romantic entanglements." Yan Xiaoli suddenly said seriously, her large eyes fixed on Pan Han.

"Mmm, sister has long legs, so everything sister says is right!" Pan Han said with an ulterior motive.

Yan Xiaoli immediately remembered the shower incident and actually blushed a little.

"Hmph, I'm going to make you pay for a good meal today." Yan Xiaoli shifted her bottom, stretching her long legs further.

"Right, right, right, give and take, I can't just let you treat me for free!" Pan Han said emphatically.

"Men, they just broke up and immediately revert to this behavior!" Yan Xiaoli thought of the shower incident just now and chided him.

The two chatted on and off like that. Pan Han's mood improved significantly.

It had to be said, Yan Xiaoli was truly a woman who knew how to talk and make others comfortable.

"By the way, we've been co-renting for a few months, and I've never asked what you do for work. Is it convenient to say?"

"I'm an eighteenth-tier actress, slightly higher than an extra."

"After eating today, I'll be going out of town tomorrow to film, for a role with 10 lines of dialogue."

"I knew you were always disappearing. How many days will you be gone this time?" Pan Han never expected his female roommate to be an actress.

He had only seen such people on TV before; this was his first time seeing one in person.

"Four days, I think." Yan Xiaoli shook the calendar on her phone.

After she leaves, there will be no one else in the house. I can quietly explore the alternate world for a few days. Pan Han secretly decided.

"Amazing! Then today will be a send-off for the big star! I wish you a smooth journey!" Pan Han raised his glass.

"Thank you, Boss Pan!" Yan Xiaoli generously clinked glasses with him and drank.

The two had a particularly enjoyable meal.

They were usually quite frugal and didn't often get to eat wagyu beef.

The two also shared many of their stories, and their relationship grew more familiar.

After eating and drinking their fill, Pan Han called the waiter to settle the bill.

A handsome man came over and said, "Hello, sir, your total for tonight is 3,700 yuan."

Pan Han directly pulled out a bank card and handed it to him to swipe.

"Men are so handsome when they pay the bill!" Yan Xiaoli said with a smile.

You see, the atmosphere was already set, and Pan Han wasn't holding back at all.

"Come on, I'll take you to buy an outfit. Wear it to filming tomorrow and let the director's eyes light up too."

"If you're talking about that, I'm certainly not tired anymore!" Yan Xiaoli's eyes indeed brightened, and she wasn't shy at all, as if she had her own way to repay this favor.

The two left immediately.

Wanda Plaza naturally had high-end women's clothing stores, like LV, Prada, and so on. There were still over two hours until closing, which should be enough time to shop.

Pan Han didn't pay much attention to women's clothing, so he let Yan Xiaoli lead the way.

"This one will do." Yan Xiaoli arrived at a foreign luxury clothing store.

"Let's go!" Pan Han still had over 200,000 in his card.

The women's clothing here was visibly expensive. Pan Han tried hard to resist looking at the price tags; he wanted to appear very wealthy.

"It's not too late to back out now!" Yan Xiaoli whispered into Pan Han's ear, purposely blowing a puff of air as she spoke.

It made Pan Han's whole body tingle; damn it, he couldn't back out now.

But Pan Han really liked this feeling!!

"I'll give you 20 minutes; pick it out and buy it!" Pan Han said.

"You only have 20 minutes?" Yan Xiaoli deliberately widened her eyes, looking at Pan Han with an exaggerated expression.

...Pan Han's head buzzed, filled with bullet comments and reviews.

"I suspect you've been hearing some voices recently, haven't you?" Pan Han asked cautiously.

Yan Xiaoli didn't answer, but instead walked directly to an outfit.

It was the current season's new arrival, which Yan Xiaoli had liked before but hadn't been able to bring herself to buy.

Pan Han walked over and asked, "Do you still need to try it on for size?"

"No need, I know what size I wear."

"Alright, then let's check out!"

"Aren't you going to look at the price?"

"I don't look at the price, only the person!" Pan Han said sweetly, but he inwardly believed that Yan Xiaoli wasn't the type to trick him into being a sucker.

"Mmm..." Yan Xiaoli actually didn't know what to say. She felt a long-lost sense of respect.

Just as Pan Han was about to pay, two people walked in through the door.

It was Chen Yun and that dog Li Long.

Those scumbags! Pan Han's eyes burned with anger.

"Oh? Isn't that your ex-boyfriend?" Li Long glanced at Pan Han out of the corner of his eye.

"Why are you here?" Chen Yun was also bewildered. Pan Han should never have been in a store like this in his life.

"Bringing a friend to buy clothes!" Pan Han replied coldly.

"Your friend? Isn't this your roommate? You're buying her clothes?" Chen Yun couldn't believe it.

"That's right, I'm buying it for her." After saying that, he greeted the sales assistant, signaling to check out.

"Hello, sir, the total is 18,000 yuan." The sales assistant presented the bill with both hands.

"Card!" Pan Han coolly handed over his bank card.

"When did you get so rich? You used to only buy clothes costing at most a thousand." Chen Yun noticed something was off.

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Pan Han retorted.

"You!" Chen Yun stamped her foot in anger.

"Brother Long, I want to buy this set too." Chen Yun naturally wouldn't be outdone.

Li Long was a bit awkward; it wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but he never spent money on women like this. But face was a big deal, so he had to take this hit.

"I'm sorry, sir, this is the last piece. Because it's a hot new item, it sells out very quickly. Perhaps you'd like to look at something else?" The sales assistant had seen many such situations and naturally wouldn't give up easily, quickly recommending other items.

"I don't care, I just want to buy this one!" Chen Yun became even angrier and started to act like a spoiled brat.

She wasn't fighting for bread, but for pride!
