The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 797, then why don’t you support me (3)

Watching her with a troubled frown, Li Mochan chuckled lowly, "What are you worried about? Don’t you trust Ji Mingqian?"

"It’s not that I don’t trust him, I just feel that the road ahead for Aqian and the others will be quite difficult," Ye Jiuliang said in a muffled voice.

Li Mochan laughed softly, "Just consider it a test for them."

If Asheng came home this time, Ji Mingqian would surely visit often. To avoid being exposed, that would definitely not be an easy task.

Ye Jiuliang raised his eyebrows, acknowledging that he could only wait and see if there would be any way to help out when the time came.

...

That night, the wind rose and the leaves fluttered.

The intermittent cries of cicadas on the trees soon got overwhelmed by the sound of the wind.

At the men’s clothing counter, the bright lights spread into every corner of the store.

"This shirt suits you well." Ji Mingqian casually picked up a white shirt and held it up to Jiang Yisheng’s body.

After dinner, Ji Mingqian, using the excuse of not having brought any luggage, forcibly dragged Jiang Yisheng out shopping.

Fortunately, it was night, and both of them were well-disguised, so they weren’t recognized by anyone on the way.

Jiang Yisheng’s lips twitched slightly as he pressed down on the brim of his hat, "You pick what you want and then let’s quickly pay and leave."

"What’s the rush? So what if someone recognizes us? We’ll just run away if it comes to that," Ji Mingqian said nonchalantly.

While saying this, he picked up a set of blue casual wear, "How about this set?"

Jiang Yisheng held his forehead, suppressing the impulse to kick him.

He wasn’t a woman, why did he dawdle so much over buying clothes?

"Everything’s fine, you look good in anything," he said without much interest.

Although it was evasive talk, Ji Mingqian still found it quite pleasing to hear.

"Do you feel like you’ve picked up a real bargain by getting me?" he teased.

Jiang Yisheng was speechless at his radiance after getting a little sunshine and patted him, urging, "Hurry up."

They had been shopping for almost an hour. Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have come out with him.

Ji Mingqian dumped the clothes in his hands to the sales assistant, "Take these to the counter, we’ll pay for them all together later."

"Certainly," the assistant smiled with her eyes crinkling into slits, holding the clothes in her arms.

So many clothes―just the commission from one piece was nearly half of her monthly salary.

"You pick for me," Ji Mingqian whispered, tugging at Jiang Yisheng.

Jiang Yisheng shook his shoulder, trying to shake off his arm, "Don’t keep tugging at me, people are watching over there."

"What is there to be afraid of? You pick one for me, and I will let go."

Jiang Yisheng gritted his teeth and elbowed him, growling, "I’ll choose for you, but I don’t have the money to pay for it."

"You just have to pick, I’ll pay," he said.

Being both bundled up, naturally, they drew attention. The store’s sales assistants frequently threw curious glances their way, making Jiang Yisheng helpless as he spoke in a cute and fierce tone, "I’ll choose for you, okay? Now, let go."

Ji Mingqian released his hand, and Jiang Yisheng immediately fled.

While Jiang Yisheng was picking clothes, Ji Mingqian went to the other side and quickly selected items.

When Jiang Yisheng came over after choosing, seeing the pile of clothes in his hands, he wore an expression of exasperation, "Why are you taking so many? Can you even wear them all?"

"These are for you," Ji Mingqian said softly.

For him?

Jiang Yisheng was momentarily stunned, then promptly declined, "I don’t need them. I have plenty of clothes. Don’t waste money."

He had so many clothes that he couldn’t wear them all; buying more would only fill his closet.

"Then you can wear those I bought, that way it won’t be a waste."

Saying this, Ji Mingqian took the clothes from his hand and walked towards the cash register.

"Pack them all up." He passed his card to the sales assistant at the counter.

"Certainly, please wait a moment," the assistant said, her face beaming with a fawning smile.

After paying, Jiang Yisheng helped carry the shopping bags, eager to leave before anyone recognized him, and he hastened his steps.

It wasn’t until the two of them had left that a lively discussion erupted in the shop.

"The voices of those two just now were so nice to listen to."

"Right, even though we couldn’t see their faces, I have a hunch that both of them must be handsome."

"Didn’t you guys think the guy in the black shirt had a back profile that looked a lot like Emperor Ji?" Suddenly, someone said.

"What?"

The other staff members gathered around, visibly excited.

"Emperor Ji, for real?"

"That’s impossible, I haven’t heard about Emperor Ji’s travel plans to J City," another one doubted.

"If that person is Emperor Ji, then who’s the person next to him?"

"Could it be God Jiang?" the salesgirl who had guessed it was Ji Mingqian spoke up.

Upon her words, everyone had the look of people who’d stumbled upon juicy gossip.

Emperor Ji and God Jiang shopping together for clothes? It seemed like they had caught onto something.

Unaware of the sharp eyes of the sales assistants, Ji Mingqian had already driven away.

Inside the car, Jiang Yisheng saw through the mirror the shopping bags piled in the back and his face filled with speechlessness.

Just coming out to shop, they’d bought a car and a pile of clothes. Was he burning through money that badly?

Turning his gaze toward the one driving beside him, "Ji Mingqian, are you so poor you only have money left?"

Ji Mingqian curved his lips, looked at him, and spoke with a roguish laugh, "Don’t worry, supporting you for a lifetime won’t be a problem."

Jiang Yisheng laughed through his irritation, "No wonder my cousin warned me not to be easily swayed by you. Seems like I should listen to him and consider it carefully."

It was Li Mochan again.

Ji Mingqian frowned, "Why do you listen to Li Mochan so much? He’s got a wife and it’s easy for him to talk without a care."

"At least he won’t cheat me, and that’s not necessarily true for you," Jiang Yisheng joked.

Ji Mingqian’s mood soured, his face fell, "When have I ever cheated you? Whenever you were in danger, wasn’t I always there first? You’re really heartless."
