Villain: The Heroine Overheard My Thoughts and Her Persona Collapsed
Chapter 290 291 – Today’s friend, tomorrow’s sister, and the day after, a little darling
When it came to buying clothes for women, Tang Yu simply followed his personal preferences. Whether it was a pure and seductive style or a cute one, he bought whatever caught his eye. The aesthetic sense of a straight man was the ultimate truth! It had to be alluring!
"This one, this one, and this one, please. And could you alter this qipao? Make the slit a bit higher."
"Sure, sir. How high would you like it?"
"Up to the waist. My sister likes it that way," Tang Yu replied without a change in expression.
The saleswoman took the black qipao Tang Yu had chosen and went to have it altered. Tang Yu chuckled and continued to browse the store, finding the task of buying clothes for others rather enjoyable.
While he was earnestly picking out clothes, a beautiful woman happened to step out of the fitting room nearby. She stood in front of the mirror, quite satisfied with the simple white dress she had chosen. Just as she was about to return to change back, she noticed Tang Yu selecting clothes in the store.
"Young Master Tang?" Lin Huanxi's face flashed with disbelief, even wondering if she was dreaming. How could she run into him here?
Seeing Tang Yu about to turn around, Lin Huanxi quickly retreated into the fitting room and shut the door, her heart racing with excitement. She hadn't expected to encounter the man she had been longing for while out shopping today.
As a woman who loved beauty, she naturally had the habit of shopping. Recently, Dayue Real Estate had given her a significant new order. The pressure from this order was immense, but if she succeeded, her design company's status in the industry would soar!
After bearing the pressure and working overtime for a while, she decided to go shopping to relieve some stress. Little did she know, she'd run into Tang Yu.
"Should I go out and meet him? What should I say if I do?" Lin Huanxi pondered, her face flushed.
She worried that if she approached too suddenly or too enthusiastically, it might leave a bad impression on Tang Yu. After all, according to President Zhou, Young Master Tang was a man of integrity. Given her current status as a married woman, she feared that approaching him too warmly might make him think poorly of her.
But why was he in a women's clothing store? Was he buying for his girlfriend? The thought made Lin Huanxi feel a bit down.
"Miss, how do you find these three dresses?"
"They're fine. I'll take them all."
"You're so generous, sir. Your sister is so lucky to have a brother like you," the saleswoman remarked enviously.
The clothes in their store weren't cheap, and this handsome guy had bought over twenty pieces in one go, enough to buy a new luxury car. What woman wouldn't want a brother like that?
Hearing this from inside the fitting room, Lin Huanxi's mood instantly lifted. So it was for his sister. Young Master Tang was indeed a gentle and caring man.
If the Divine Tree Little Loli were here, she'd probably sigh, pat Lin Huanxi's shoulder, and say, "Today's friend, tomorrow's sister, and the day after, a little darling. So why not get closer to him sooner?"
After paying, Tang Yu left the women's clothing store and boldly headed to a lingerie shop. Ahem. As a man, who hasn't had the simple dream of owning a lingerie store, making girls look even prettier? Making money wasn't the point. The main thing was to help them measure their sizes, see if the fit was right, and learn how to unhook with one hand.
Once Tang Yu left the store, Lin Huanxi quickly emerged from the fitting room.
"Miss, have you made your choice?" the saleswoman asked, approaching her again.
"Yes, these five pieces. Please have them delivered to my home. And where did that gentleman go?"
Upon discovering Tang Yu was nowhere to be seen, Lin Huanxi grew anxious.
"That handsome guy went to the lingerie store across the street to buy clothes for his sister," the saleswoman smiled, pointing to Victoria's Secret across the way.
Lin Huanxi immediately stepped out to look and, seeing Tang Yu's figure, breathed a sigh of relief and took out her phone to pay. She decided to muster the courage to pretend to bump into Tang Yu. As long as she acted normally, he shouldn't misunderstand her.
Determined, she pulled a small mirror from her bag to check her makeup, took a deep breath to steady her emotions, and walked into the lingerie store she frequented.
As she entered, several female customers in the store were already eyeing Tang Yu with interest. One slightly older, alluring woman even approached him.
"Handsome, are you picking out lingerie for your girlfriend?"
"For my sister. She didn't have time to come, so she asked me to pick some up for her," Tang Yu laughed, feeling a bit awkward. He had intended to choose something more seductive, but with her approaching, how could he? It would seem too obvious.
"A doting brother, aren't you? Need any recommendations from me?" the alluring woman smiled, her eyes lingering on Tang Yu's face.
This handsome guy had the face of a little wolf, yet his demeanor was gentle and refined. The contrast hit her right in her preferences, making her want to welcome him warmly.
"I'll manage on my own," Tang Yu politely declined.
Why did her gaze remind him of the wealthy women at the Baihua Club when Sister Ruyan took him there?
"Alright, young men can be shy. Here's my card. If you ever want to discuss lingerie, feel free to contact me," the alluring woman said with a smile, handing him a business card.
She had long been dissatisfied with her husband, who was a ten-second wonder, and had been considering her options. Times had changed, and as a wealthy woman, shouldn't she help those young men in need?
Glancing at the card, Tang Yu realized she was the president of a financial investment company, possibly a member of the Baihua Club.
[Is she trying to make me a gigolo?]
[Who does she think she's looking down on!]
Tang Yu thought to himself. Would he stoop to being a gigolo for just anyone?
Hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts again, Lin Huanxi felt a surge of affection. He was indeed just as President Zhou had described—a man of integrity.
Then she approached Tang Yu from behind, gently tapped his shoulder, and with a charming smile, said, "Young Master Tang?"
Hearing someone call him, Tang Yu turned to see Lin Huanxi. He widened his eyes, surprised to run into her here.
[Oh my god.]
[Why is she here?]
[This is awkward, she better not think I'm a pervert. I'm not interested in women's clothing.]
[I need to find a way to salvage my image.]
After muttering to himself internally, Tang Yu quickly put on a smile and said, "Miss Lin? I didn't expect to run into you here. My sister asked me to buy her some clothes, but I'm not familiar with these things. Could you help me pick something out?"
