CHAPTER 545: 482 ACCOMPANYING SHOPPING IN ANLIN CITY (PART 2)

The translator stood to one side, not even having the chance to say goodbye before Zhongli Wuzhi had already swung the Ferrari around and sped off.

Princess Chinian gripped her seat belt tightly, feeling only the whistling wind beside her ear, her face slightly stinging from the rush, her hair flying wildly.

Her gray eyes were even stung by the wind.

After driving a few kilometers, Zhongli Wuzhi gradually slowed down and pulled down the convertible top of the sports car.

Princess Chinian still felt the whooshing of the wind in her ears, which suddenly got blocked out, making her slightly uncomfortable, and she shivered subconsciously!

Zhongli Wuzhi burst into laughter.

Princess Chinian’s face turned red again.

Zhongli chuckled, glancing at her from the corner of his eye, then said, "You can’t wear that outfit, let’s go change it first."

Huh?

Princess Chinian widened her eyes and turned to look at Zhongli Wuzhi, seeing he wasn’t joking, and in the next second, he had already stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the car soared again!

Changing clothes...

Princess Chinian’s mind buzzed, momentarily unable to grasp what the simple words "changing clothes" meant.

She didn’t even have extra time to comprehend.

The speed of the car was really too fast.

He was driving around the suburbs of Anlin City, the thrill of speeding on the highway stimulating Princess Chinian’s cognition and senses.

The car slowed down after half an hour.

Zhongli Wuzhi led her into an unremarkable alley and entered an ordinary clothing store, with Princess Chinian following him, her gaze aimlessly sweeping through the store.

"Sir, are you looking to buy some clothes?"

The store clerk approached with eager inquiry.

Princess Chinian looked at the clerk, almost seeing pink bubbles in the clerk’s eyes.

Zhongli Wuzhi pointed at Princess Chinian,

"For her."

"Ah?"

Ah?

It wasn’t just the clerk who was surprised, but also Princess Chinian; she tugged at Zhongli Wuzhi’s leather sleeve, blinking.

The clerk said somewhat awkwardly,

"Sir, this is a men’s clothing store..."

Zhongli Wuzhi looked around the store again and then agreed,

"If it weren’t a men’s store, I wouldn’t have come in."

"But... this beautiful young lady is a woman..."

The clerk didn’t know how to continue and could only tentatively speak.

Zhongli Wuzhi’s gaze settled on Princess Chinian for about two seconds.

Those brief two seconds were already thrilling enough for Princess Chinian.

She had just averted her gaze when she heard Zhongli Wuzhi say,

"She is certainly a woman, and a very beautiful and adorable one at that."

Zhongli Wuzhi’s lips curved into an especially charming smile.

The clerk chuckled softly.

"So, that set of clothes, get a small size. Let her change into it."

Zhongli Wuzhi pointed at a set of overalls and a duckbill hat hanging on the wall.

"Oh, okay. I’ll go get it."

The clerk complied and then went to fetch the set of small-sized clothes.

Zhongli Wuzhi told Princess Chinian,

"You change here, I’ll be back in a moment."

After speaking, he left, and Princess Chinian didn’t even have the chance to hold him back; the clerk brought the clothes to her, and she couldn’t refuse.

"Miss... is that your boyfriend?"

The clerk made casual conversation.

Princess Chinian was taken aback, then controlled her expression, shook her head slightly, and then remained silent.

The clerk couldn’t discern whether Princess Chinian’s expression meant "yes" or "no".

He didn’t ask any more questions, but simply stepped forward to help Chinian change her clothes.

...

When Zhongli Wuzhi came back, he had two more items in his hand.

By then, Chinian had already changed her clothes and was sitting in a chair, waiting for Zhongli Wuzhi.

Upon seeing Zhongli Wuzhi return, Chinian quickly stood up.

Zhongli Wuzhi looked at Chinian, now dressed in overalls and wearing a duckbill cap, which covered most of her beautiful face.

It was really because Chinian’s face was too small.

Zhongli Wuzhi walked over with a smile,

"Not bad, not bad, it fits quite well."

Chinian really felt helpless; how did this fit at all...

But Zhongli Wuzhi seemed to find it very amusing, his narrow eyes brimming with laughter.

"Come on, come on."

Zhongli Wuzhi pulled Chinian in front of a mirror, then took out the items he had just gone out to buy—a small mustache and a pair of sunglasses.

Chinian pointed at the small mustache, her mouth agape.

Zhongli Wuzhi leaned in and whispered in Chinian’s ear,

"You are the Princess of M country, if someone recognizes you, you won’t be able to have fun properly. A little disguise should do the trick, and no one will recognize you."

Zhongli Wuzhi was really too close at that moment.

Chinian’s heart was beating too fast.

After putting some distance between them, Chinian finally felt like she could breathe.

"Don’t move."

Zhongli Wuzhi said as he bent down, carefully sticking the mustache on.

His index finger rubbed just below Chinian’s nose, that brief touch made Chinian’s heart flutter.

She felt she must be going mad...

Once the mustache was in place, next came the sunglasses.

With the sunglasses on, Chinian’s face was almost completely covered.

"Look, isn’t it cool?"

Zhongli Wuzhi stood to the side, admiring his handiwork and seemingly quite pleased with the disguise.

Chinian stood foolishly in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection wearing overalls, a duckbill cap, sunglasses, and a small mustache on her lip...

She was no longer herself.

She had grown up in the court, always dressed in the proper and dignified attire of a princess, mostly skirts.

It seemed only natural, the etiquette of the court bringing its own set of rules.

She had to maintain her image at all times.

But now, what was she wearing? What did she look like now?

As Chinian thought about this, she suddenly burst into laughter, standing in front of the mirror, covering her mouth and giggling.

Zhongli Wuzhi stood beside her, watching as Chinian’s laughter grew increasingly exaggerated.

He thought, Princess Chinian really was good-tempered, so indulgent.

Even dressed like a man, she readily accepted it and foolishly found joy in it.

"Have you laughed enough, Xiao Qi?"

Zhongli Wuzhi asked.

Chinian’s laughter stopped abruptly, and she looked at Zhongli somewhat dazedly. Had she heard him wrong just now?

What had Zhongli Wuzhi called her?

"You’ve already changed, let’s go, Xiao Qi."

Zhongli Wuzhi, to make it clearer to Chinian, called out again.

Princess Chinian swallowed, she... had laughed!

Then she nodded vigorously.

Chinian followed Zhongli Wuzhi, suddenly swinging her arms and strutting forward, mimicking the swagger of a burly man.

Zhongli Wuzhi was startled, then burst into hearty laughter,

"Why are you so adorable?"

Chinian turned her head slightly, her cheeks flushed under the cover of her sunglasses, her grey pupils filled with contentment.
