I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.

“Young Master, I was wrong! I really can’t lose this job. My child is still in kindergarten, and after my divorce I left with nothing. I have no savings. Please, Young Master, have mercy on me. If I lose my job, my child will be doomed…”

Wang Yan apologized while kneeling on the floor and repeatedly bowing her head.

A trace of pity flickered in Yan Chu’s eyes. With a helpless sigh, she merely shook her head, unwilling to pursue the matter any further.

“Pack everything up. We’re leaving.”

As soon as Yan Chu finished speaking, Wang Yan immediately rose and began packing her purchases.

The bags, large and small, were placed into Yan Chu’s hands. Wang Yan bowed repeatedly to her.

“Thank you for shopping with us. We look forward to serving you again!”

Yan Chu glanced at Xiaoxue, who had been watching her all this time.

“Store manager, Wang Yan is the floor supervisor, correct? But I think your store needs a new one.”

Wang Jiye nodded furiously, desperate to save his life.

“Yes, yes, of course! Just tell me who you want to replace her with, and I’ll make the change immediately!”

Yan Chu pointed at Xiaoxue.

“I think she would be a good choice.”

Xiaoxue was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

She had not made a single sale since joining the store. Never had she imagined that she would meet a benefactor today—not only making her first sale, but even receiving a promotion!

Wang Jiye was just about to explain that Xiaoxue was merely an intern and, according to the store’s rules, had not yet met the requirements for promotion.

But Xiaoxue beat him to it.

“Thank you, Young Master’s wife! Thank you, Manager! I’ll definitely work hard!”

Her string of thanks left Wang Jiye unable to say another word.

Yan Chu patted Xiaoxue on the shoulder and smiled.

“Work hard.”

Then she turned to Wang Jiye.

“I think you should have this young lady provide etiquette training for everyone in the store. After all, she was the only person who treated me courteously when I came in.”

People had always respected fine clothes before the person wearing them, but Yan Chu still could not tolerate such snobbery from those in the service industry.

Wang Jiye nodded enthusiastically.

“Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right. Xiaoxue, prepare a presentation and conduct etiquette training tomorrow!”

Yan Chu looked at Gu Chenxiao and said calmly, “Let’s go.”

She truly never wanted to visit a store like this again.

Still shaken, Wang Yan watched the backs of Yan Chu and Gu Chenxiao disappear, tears streaming down her face.

Wang Jiye let out a long breath.

“If that young lady hadn’t shown you mercy today, you would have been fired already!”

“Who was that young lady? Could she be the Young Madam?” Wang Yan asked in astonishment as she wiped away her tears.

She was dressed so plainly. Could she really be the Young Madam?

The Young Madam was far more low-key than she had imagined!

“Perhaps.” Wang Jiye scowled. “The Young Madam went shopping today. We received word from above that we were to take especially good care of her. Her surname is Yan. If the surname matches, then that must be her. But whether she is or not, you’ve still caused us enormous trouble!”

In truth, Wang Jiye did not really believe that Yan Chu was Gu Chenxiao’s wife.

Good heavens. Could the wife of Young Master Gu really dress so shabbily? Did Young Master Gu not care about his reputation at all?

Yan Chu carried bags of all sizes, looking somewhat dejected.

Seeing her petite figure burdened with so many things, Gu Chenxiao went over to help.

“Are all of these things for you?”

He meant nothing by the question; he was simply curious.

But Yan Chu’s answer caught him off guard.

“No. This one is for your mother, these are for your sister, and these are for Ruoruo…”

“And yours?” Gu Chenxiao interrupted gently.

Surely this girl had not bought anything for herself?

Yan Chu tilted her head.

“Mine are here.”

She took out a snow-white dress.

Among all the bags, that was the only item that belonged to her.

Yan Chu looked slightly embarrassed.

“I’m not as wealthy as you, so I had to use your card to buy gifts for other people.”

Her frankness warmed Gu Chenxiao’s heart.

He looked at the white dress in her hands, a hint of approval passing through his eyes.

Yan Chu was not the kind of girl who coveted material possessions. She was thoughtful and always considered others first.

“You don’t need to worry about it. What’s mine is yours.”

“Huh?” Yan Chu stared at him blankly.

“Ah, I mean…” Gu Chenxiao gave a soft cough. “You are my wife in name, so what’s mine is yours.”

He took the shopping bags from her hands and continued, “You can change out of the clothes you’re wearing. At least then people won’t look down on you when you go out. Otherwise, if outsiders see you dressed like this, they’ll think I, Gu Chenxiao, am mistreating my own wife.”

Yan Chu smiled faintly without saying anything.

Gu Chenxiao was cold on the outside but warm at heart. Though his words sounded controlling on the surface, he was actually worried that others might bully her in the future.

The two of them walked side by side out of the clothing store, and at last, a relaxed smile appeared on Yan Chu’s face.

Meanwhile, Wang Yan was still cleaning up the aftermath. With tears in her eyes, she wrote her letter of reflection, cursing Yan Chu a thousand times in her heart.

She was still cursing when a clear voice rang out from outside the store.

“Is anyone there? Miss Yan is here. Hurry up and attend to her!”

The pen nearly slipped from Wang Yan’s hand and fell to the floor.

Miss Yan?

The manager had just said that the wife of the Young Master of the capital’s elite circle was surnamed Yan, hadn’t he?

She hurried to her feet, straightened her clothes, and quickly went outside to greet the customer.

“Miss Yan, welcome!”

Wang Yan forced a smile onto her face as she looked at the young girl before her.

The girl appeared to be around the same age as Yan Chu, perhaps seventeen or eighteen. Her face was smooth and youthful, and she was dressed from head to toe in designer brands. Even her hair seemed to carry a luxurious fragrance.

Now this was what the Gu family’s Young Madam ought to look like!

Yan Luoluo frowned at Wang Yan and asked displeasedly, “What are you staring at? Your eyes are practically falling out of your head!”

“I…I’ve simply never seen a girl so beautiful and so well-born before. I meant nothing by it,” Wang Yan explained awkwardly, though her heart was pounding.

The young woman beside Yan Luoluo suddenly burst out laughing, then impatiently waved her hand.

“All right, enough with the flattery.”

“Luoluo wants to see whether your store has any clothes suitable for her brother.”

Wang Jiye had been discussing tomorrow’s training with Xiaoxue. The moment he heard Yan Luoluo’s voice, he hurried over.

“So it’s Miss Yan! Are you buying something for your brother again? Come, I’ll help you choose!”

The Wang family had long maintained business ties with the Yan family. To Wang Jiye, seeing Yan Luoluo was like seeing a little goddess of wealth.

Wang Yan brightened at the sight.

This Miss Yan had to be the Young Master’s wife! Even the store manager was fawning over her. There could be no mistake.

Then who had the other girl been?

That plainly dressed young woman was most likely the mistress.

How could the difference between people’s fates be so great? One was the legitimate wife, while the other was destined to be nothing more than a kept woman.

“Miss Yan, these styles would all suit your brothers. Take a look…” Wang Jiye said cheerfully as he introduced the clothes.

Yan Luoluo waved her little hand.

“I’ll take all of these.”
