Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Can I try it without buying?

With just one glance, Lin Yi fancied this dress, and at that moment, he was already picturing how Xiao Zihan would look wearing it.

So, he turned directly to the saleslady and said with satisfaction:

“Sure, please have her try this one on.”

After hearing Lin Yi’s words, the saleslady nodded with a smile, politely saying:

“Certainly, sir, you have excellent taste. This dress just arrived in our store this morning, and the best part is, it’s reasonably priced at only 18,888 yuan. Among clothes of the same grade, it offers the best value for money.”

After saying this, the saleslady nodded again and turned to walk towards the shelves inside.

However, she walked very slowly, seemingly waiting for Lin Yi to call her back after hearing the price.

Unfortunately, until she reached the shelf and grabbed the new clothes, she never heard that handsome young man call her back.

Of course, she could understand what the two of them were probably thinking right then: for the sake of face, they would definitely try the clothes, then find various reasons to say it wasn’t suitable, and finally, say they’d go somewhere else for a look around.

But that’s alright, everyone was young once, after all, face matters.

She chose this clothing worth 18,000 yuan because this young fellow was handsome. After financially intimidating him a bit, she might get his contact info and benefit a little later.

Right when the saleslady mentioned the price, Xiao Zihan’s eyes widened, and her small mouth opened in surprise.

No way, an 18,000-yuan dress was just too distant and unaffordable for her.

It was as if someone told you that a toothpick would cost over ten thousand yuan, totally beyond Xiao Zihan’s comprehension.

When the saleslady got the dress, Xiao Zihan had already snapped out of her shock, then pulled Lin Yi, trying to walk out without saying anything.

Yet Lin Yi’s strength surpassed hers by far, no matter how hard she pulled, Lin Yi didn’t budge.

Finally, feeling helpless, Xiao Zihan raised her head and looked at Lin Yi with pleading eyes, saying pitifully:

“No, let’s not buy it, okay? I don’t like it.”

Although Xiao Zihan was a bit clumsy, she knew to save face for Lin Yi outside by expressing her dislike, not that Lin Yi was unwilling to buy it for her.

Naturally, for Lin Yi, this situation was quite helpless. This stubborn girl had firmly decided not to get it, refusing no matter what he said.

In the end, he shook his head helplessly, looking at Xiao Zihan with furrowed brows, and said:

“What are you thinking? It’s not for you to buy, I just want you to try it out for me. Come on, just give it a try.”

Even Lin Yi himself didn’t believe those words, let alone Xiao Zihan.

Seeing her plea was ineffective, Xiao Zihan simply turned her head towards the door, ignoring him.

“Uh, sir, what do you think?”

The saleslady, already holding the dress, saw this and deliberately pretended to be in a difficult position as she spoke.

Regarding stubborn Xiao Zihan, Lin Yi indeed felt helpless, but he also had his ways.

He didn’t look at Xiao Zihan, reached his hand into his pocket, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to the saleslady:

“No worries, we don’t need to try it anymore, just wrap it up. The password is six zeros.”

Uh…

Lin Yi’s action left the saleslady dumbfounded, what’s going on?? How did he directly pull out a bank card?? Wasn’t it expected that the handsome guy would find an excuse to gracefully retreat??

“Please make it quick, we have exams this afternoon, thank you.”

After Lin Yi’s reminder, the saleslady finally snapped out of it, repeatedly apologizing while quickly reaching to take the bank card and walking towards the counter.

Yet in her heart, she was quickly trying to figure out whether this handsome guy was genuinely a second-generation rich, or just pretending?

The answer soon surfaced during the card transaction.

Since Lin Yi had told the password, as she swiped the card, the balance displayed clearly before the saleslady’s eyes.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven–it had seven digits!

Immediately, the saleslady felt a shock in her heart, realizing she had misjudged, this was indeed a genuine second-generation rich!

But what’s up with these modern second-generation rich? Has the 21st-century aesthetic changed?

Although indulging in wild thoughts, the smile on her face turned somewhat flattering.

Carrying the packaged dress along with Lin Yi’s bank card, she returned with great respect in front of Lin Yi and the two:

“Sir, the bill has been settled for you, the receipt is inside.”

Xiao Zihan, standing beside, didn’t react at all, only stubbornly gazing at the outside.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but reveal a smile while snorting inwardly: ‘Little stubborn, if I can’t handle you, my surname isn’t Lin!’

Thinking like this, Lin Yi didn’t even take the card in the saleslady’s hand, instead saying to her:

“Um, could you also help us match some shoes, whatever suits are fine, a few pairs of high heels, a few pairs of casual shoes, and oh, pick some more outfits too.”

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the saleslady felt a pang of envy, sighing, wishing she could find such a good boyfriend!

“Okay sir, please wait here, I’ll pick them out for you right away.”

Just as Lin Yi finished speaking, Xiao Zihan, who had been watching outside, suddenly turned her head back, staring at Lin Yi with large eyes brimming with tears.

Seeing this, Lin Yi sighed inwardly. Though he wanted to reach out and wipe her tears and comfort her, he remembered not to let her seize the upper hand, so he pretended not to notice.

As Lin Yi ignored her, Xiao Zihan hesitated, then softly pleaded:

“I–I have clothes to wear, we–let’s not buy, okay.”

Hearing the pleading tone in Xiao Zihan’s voice, Lin Yi finally met her eyes, hesitated deliberately, and then seemingly made a decision, saying:

“Not buying is fine, but you need to promise to try on the clothes for me. Just help me out, and I will stop buying skirts for you.”

Upon hearing Lin Yi say they could do without buying, Xiao Zihan bit her lip and finally agreed.

Seeing this, Lin Yi looked apologetically at the saleslady and asked:

“Excuse me, if we’re not buying, could we still try them on?”

Holding the man’s bank card, knowing the balance on it, the saleslady didn’t believe Lin Yi’s words at all, so she nodded quite politely:

“No problem, sir, I’ll take your girlfriend to try the clothes right away.”
