Chapter 129: 129 Manolo-Blahnik

Every wise mind has its folly.

When he was buying clothes just now, Jiang Chen indeed didn’t consider the issue of shoes.

"I can still wear this to go back, it’s not like you need to walk anyway."

Xu Siyi stopped at the door, looked at him for a good while until Jiang Chen felt somewhat guilty, then she finally spoke, "My high heels, you lost them, didn’t you?"

Jiang Chen coughed lightly, nodding his head with a slight embarrassment.

"Losing someone else’s stuff, shouldn’t you compensate?"

Xu Siyi continued to ask.

Jiang Chen remained silent.

"So, shouldn’t you accompany me to buy a pair of high heels?"

"But now it’s already so late..."

"It’s only eight o’clock, there are many malls nearby, just getting a pair of shoes is totally doable."

With Xu Siyi staring at him so intently, Jiang Chen really didn’t have room to refuse.

"Fine, I’ll compensate you with a pair of shoes."

"Speaking as if you are so wronged, you were supposed to compensate from the start."

Xu Siyi chuckled, only then satisfied as she opened the door to leave.

When checking out, seeing that the two had come down in less than an hour, the receptionist looked at Jiang Chen with a twinkling in her eyes.

"What do you think she’s wondering?"

Walking out of the hotel, Xu Siyi turned her head and asked with a meaningful smile.

"Junior Xu, keep your thoughts pure."

Jiang Chen said in a principled manner.

"Junior?"

Xu Siyi pursed her lips, "Now you remember to call someone a junior?"

"I’ve always been a year ahead of you, haven’t I."

Jiang Chen said matter-of-factly.

At around eight o’clock in the evening, when the nightlife was just beginning, the streets were flashing with neon lights, bustling with traffic, brimming with the prosperity befitting a great international city.

"Oh."

Xu Siyi seriously nodded her head, "Yes, oh. Then Senior, what do you think about my figure? Is it attractive?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, his complexion suddenly stiffened, and he fell silent at once.

"What’s wrong? You should have seen just now."

Xu Siyi turned her head.

Jiang Chen was quite embarrassed as he explained, "I didn’t do it on purpose, how was I supposed to know you were just changing clothes?"

"It’s fine, I’m not blaming you."

Xu Siyi was very understanding, wearing the hotel’s disposable slippers, she walked forward with her hands behind her back, leisurely speaking, "But if Shu Rui finds out, she might not think this is a misunderstanding, right?"

"How could she possibly know."

Jiang Chen said subconsciously.

Xu Siyi looked at him with a glance.

"Senior, that’s not really in line with your character, sounds a bit like something Liang Zhenlun, the playboy, would say."

"What I mean is, even if she knew, we could explain it."

Jiang Chen defended himself, "And she knows us both, she wouldn’t suspect us."

Xu Siyi nodded slightly, seeming to find his argument quite reasonable.

"Aren’t your feet tired from wearing those slippers?"

Jiang Chen said tactfully.

The subtext undoubtedly reminding her to quickly pick any pair of shoes and depart.

"Not really."

Xu Siyi, either truly clueless or feigning ignorance, cocked her head to look at Jiang Chen and cooed, "Senior, do you want to carry me?"

Jiang Chen immediately shut his mouth.

Xu Siyi slowly withdrew her gaze with a smile.

After wandering the streets for more than twenty minutes, the pair of cloth slippers on her feet had turned pitch black. Xu Siyi seemed to finally not be able to bear the odd looks from passersby and entered a shoe store.

Jiang Chen raised his head to look at the sign.

Manolo-Blahnik

Without considering the decoration, just the name itself signals high-end luxury.

The sales associate quickly came over to offer assistance, but was politely declined by Xu Siyi.

"We’ll look around ourselves first, and call you if we need help."

"Of course, Miss."

The sales associate nodded respectfully with a smile and didn’t pester them further, quickly turning to leave.

In most shoe stores, each pair typically has a price tag, but this store was different as it had none, which was telling of its uniqueness.

Jiang Chen seemed to sense something and asked tentatively, "The shoes here are expensive, aren’t they?"

Men would never understand a woman’s love for high heels.

Once Xu Siyi entered the store, her eyes were glued to the dazzling array of various high heels as if she had been magnetized.

"Don’t worry, you can definitely afford them."

She didn’t respond directly.

"How about this pair?"

Xu Siyi picked up a pair of white stiletto heels with pointed toes.

Jiang Chen shook his head instinctively, "Not suitable for a student’s temperament."

Xu Siyi laughed softly.

"My dear senior, high heels are meant to be like this. Take a look around, which pair here is suitable for students?"

"Then let’s go to another store, I think the one we passed by just now was not bad."

Jiang Chen suggested.

"I don’t want to."

Xu Siyi immediately refused without a second thought and put down the stiletto heels.

"How about this pair?"

This was a pair of rhinestone peep-toe high heels that oozed luxury, even suitable for a celebrity walking the red carpet.

"Too flamboyant."

Xu Siyi picked up another pair with a single strap and looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head again.

"Not fitting for the temperament of Eastern women."

"Senior, you seem to know quite a lot," Xu Siyi muttered, as if she realized that no matter what she picked, he could point out a flaw. So, she stopped caring about his opinion and began choosing on her own.

"Excuse me."

She picked up a pair of black hollow-out stiletto heels and called out to the sales associate, "Do you have these in size 37?"

The sales associate walked over briskly, checked, and then nodded, "Yes, Miss."

"Please bring them to me to try on."

"Just a moment, please."

The sales associate left quickly and soon returned with a shoebox, then knelt down to help Xu Siyi try on the shoes, perfectly exemplifying the saying that the customer is king.

Seeing his chance, Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone.

Although he didn’t know much about women’s shoe brands, the internet is powerful and you can find out anything these days.

Manolo-Blahnik

He typed in the name, and a flood of information appeared. He browsed through a few entries and Jiang Chen’s expression stiffened.

Indeed, it’s hard to change one’s nature.

He had thought Xu Siyi’s repayment was born of a guilty conscience, but it seemed more like she was playing a long game for a big catch.

Actually, he had a hunch something was amiss at the entrance of the store. This brand is among the top ten luxury women’s shoe brands globally, with a single pair easily costing a five-figure sum.

"Do they look nice?"

Xu Siyi had already put on the shoes and stood in front of the mirror, looking back at him for his opinion.

To be fair, expensive items have their reasons for being expensive, and these high heels instantly elevated her presence several notches, but the key point was...

Jiang Chen was far from being miserly, but after understanding the extraordinary nature of the brand, he genuinely didn’t know if he could afford the price of these shoes.

If it were Li Shuru, not to mention a single pair, even buying the entire store or the brand wouldn’t be an issue for him, but this was Xu Siyi.

Xu Siyi was not his target for pursuit, which meant there was a serious problem.

He couldn’t use his "bootlicking" fund!
