Chapter 761: 0750 you can stuff it back in

Ye Zhichen smiled and nodded, "The jewelry here is quite nice."

Su Ran agreed, "Indeed, not bad at all. You keep looking; I’m going to browse around."

"Okay."

Su Ran and Ye Zhichen split up to browse the shop, and Su Ran made a round to inspect all the merchandise.

After making the rounds, she was quite satisfied.

Just as Zhichen said, the jewelry here was indeed pretty!

Thus, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking around, Su Ran immediately took a liking to a pair of diamond cufflinks, and beside them, there was a matching pair of women’s earrings.

This kind of set was evidently designed for couples.

Couple sets...

Su Ran’s earlobes faintly began to heat up.

She was very fond of Fu Qiyuan’s appearance when he undid his cufflinks; refined and restrained, noble and elegant, his whole being radiated an enthralling charm.

Thinking further, about the man taking off his cufflinks, then his shirt...

Those tight chest muscles and the smoothly defined "Adonis belt"... ahem, ahem, a beauty that could bring down nations, indeed!

When had she become so indecorous?

To think she’d even started to indulge in such daydreams.

Su Ran’s cheeks quietly reddened, her eyes fixed on the cufflinks without blinking, bright as stars.

She seldom bought gifts for men; would he like these cufflinks?

And there were the matching diamond earrings.

The thought of them both wearing matching items made her heart unavoidably soft.

"What are you thinking about? Eh? Why is your face so red?"

Ye Zhichen, appearing without notice next to Su Ran, asked while noticing her flushed cheeks.

"Cough, nothing."

Su Ran coughed lightly, her face slightly embarrassed.

Ye Zhichen raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on the diamond cufflinks that Su Ran had been staring at, and she suddenly understood.

"These cufflinks, are you buying them for Mr. Fu?"

"Mhm."

Ye Zhichen looked at her with an ill-intentioned gaze, "So just now, were you thinking about Mr. Fu?"

Su Ran’s gaze flickered, her face crossing with a hint of embarrassment, but she didn’t respond.

Ye Zhichen stared intently at her, not making a sound, a wicked smile spreading across her face, making Su Ran’s scalp tingle.

Feeling unnerved by her steady gaze, Su Ran couldn’t help but look up at her.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

The smile on Ye Zhichen’s face turned ambiguous and meaningful.

"So, were you thinking about the way he looks when he puts on the cufflinks or about when he takes them off? Hm?"

"Cough—"

Ye Zhichen’s astounding remark caught Su Ran off-guard, causing her to choke on her own saliva.

With her face turning a bit red, she protested, "Can’t you be a little more serious?"

Ye Zhichen covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably.

"With a child already in the picture, how can you be serious? Or are you daring to say you weren’t thinking about it just now?"

Su Ran fell silent.

"It seems like you and Mr. Fu get along well in every aspect of life; you can’t even shop without rubbing it in people’s faces, it’s utterly heartless!"

Su Ran glanced at her annoyedly.

"You can rub it back in my face."

Ye Zhichen shook her head, "Never mind, not everyone has someone to give gifts to."

"You don’t?"

Ye Zhichen tugged at her lips, her eyelids slightly drooping.

She did, and it was perfectly legitimate.

Yet her having someone didn’t mean the other person wanted it!

"Why should this lady spend her hard-earned money on those stinking men? Isn’t it better to spend it on oneself?"

"Yeah, that’s pretty good."

Seeing her stubborn appearance, Su Ran sighed quietly in her heart and decided not to pursue the topic.

She lifted her eyes to the sales associate and pointed at the diamond cufflinks in the display case.

"Take these out for me to have a look."

The sales associate hurriedly opened the display case and took out the suit to place it on the countertop.

The commonly seen French retro cufflinks combined with a cloud pattern design were elegant and conveyed a sense of distinction.

Very good!

"I’ll take this suit, wrap it up!"

"Miss, this suit costs 990,000, you..."

"Yes, I know, wrap it up."

Upon hearing this, the sales associate’s eyes immediately lit up.

"Okay, all right, I’ll wrap it up right away."

Everyone in the store had a look of joy on their faces, as business had been bleak for a long time, with few customers even entering the shop.

Not to mention the sales figures!

But with this suit, and the bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and brooches purchased by that miss just now, today’s sales were already close to 3 million.

It was something they couldn’t achieve in a month, yet they had done it in just one day.

The store manager’s face was about to burst with joy as he said to Su Ran and Ye Zhichen with polite and flattering complaisance:

"Ladies, your items have been wrapped up, please proceed to the cashier to pay."

"Okay."

The two approached the cashier’s desk, and Su Ran took out a black card from her purse and handed it to the store manager.

"Together."

When they usually went shopping, they often bought things for each other.

Thus, when Su Ran said ’together’, Ye Zhichen did not think much of it.

But the cashier’s store manager, upon seeing the black card in Su Ran’s hand, was completely dumbfounded.

In their line of work, they had seen a lot and knew a lot, and naturally understood what this card signified.

The expression on his face immediately grew even more respectful, and he carefully took the card and started the transaction.

A minute later, the store manager’s face brimmed with a smiling look as he bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

"Miss, it’s all set."

"Mhm."

Su Ran took back her card and casually asked another question.

"How was the business in your store before the shop next door moved in?"

The store manager was taken aback, "How did you know..."

"You just need to answer my question."

With a sigh, the store manager said:

"Before that shop moved in, our business was quite good, but then..."

The manager didn’t finish his sentence, but Su Ran had already guessed most of it.

After collecting their purchases, Su Ran and Ye Zhichen left the jewelry store. Outside, Ye Zhichen glanced at the storefront before looking at Su Ran.

"Was it imitation by the store next door? I thought..."

"Most people would think the same."

Ye Zhichen was puzzled, "But even so, this store’s business shouldn’t be so bleak."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that, whether it was design, style, or material, this store was superior.

Su Ran spoke lightly, "It proves that no matter how good the items are, they can’t compete with a big brand’s LOGO."

This is the so-called brand effect.

Of course, the bad business of this jewelry store could not be attributed to this reason alone.

"What do you think of this store’s jewelry?" Su Ran asked again.

Ye Zhichen thought for a moment, "Fashionable and beautiful, innovatively designed, unique, different from ordinary jewelry stores."

Hearing this, Su Ran’s lips curved, "Mmm, indeed! But trust me, if they were the same as any ordinary jewelry store, I’d be worried!"

Fortunately, it was a bit better than she had expected!

Upon hearing Su Ran’s words, Ye Zhichen seemed to understand something.

"Did you come here today especially for this store? Why? It’s just a jewelry store, what’s so special about it that it’s worth your attention?"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, "Do you know who owns this store?"

Ye Zhichen shook her head.

"Ling Family."

"And the one next door..."

Su Ran lightly dropped two more words, "Yin Family."

Ye Zhichen instantly understood; no wonder.

In this world, how could there be so many coincidences!
