Chapter 257: Chapter 248: Shopping with a Beautiful Woman

"Hmph, with your character, no one would believe you. No way, I won’t forgive you, you big jerk, you big perv!"

"Alright, since you refuse to forgive me, I’ll hang myself with a noodle, or smash my head into tofu to commit suicide, or drown in the bathtub. Tell me, how do you want to punish your brother? I’m all ears!"

Zhou Xun pursed her lips and turned to look at Lin Mu, "Really? You’ll listen to anything I say?"

"Yeah, absolutely. Brother is a stand-up guy, when have I ever lied?" Lin Mu said, patting his chest.

"Alright, since there’s nothing else to do today, accompany me shopping for autumn clothes, and while we’re at it, buy some lingerie." Zhou Xun said, looking at Lin Mu.

"Uh...buy lingerie? Shopping for autumn clothes is fine, we can prepare for autumn, but lingerie... I mean, as a man, accompanying someone to buy such sensitive women’s items is a bit embarrassing!" Lin Mu looked at Zhou Xun with a face full of awkwardness.

Men are most afraid of accompanying women to shop for clothes. They shop around N times for one piece, try it on and off N times, strut around with it, clearly wanting to buy it but then finding faults in this and that. Even the most decisive women take hours to buy one piece of clothing, and the men are anxious from waiting! You’d have plenty of time to make one yourself, instead of waiting!

"Hmph, forget it. I won’t insist, but from now on, you’ll be someone who doesn’t keep their word in my heart!" Zhou Xun tilted her head and playfully scolded.

"Fine, you win, I’ll go. It’s just shopping for lingerie, and I doubt it’s harder than fighting on the African battlefield. Besides, many people would be eager to go with a beauty like you!" Lin Mu changed his attitude quickly.

Zhou Xun glanced at Lin Mu, "Are you just humoring me? You’re actually not very willing, right?"

"No way, I’m willing, very willing! I even bought you lingerie in the past, taking you shopping now is no big deal. Actually, haha, I’m just worried people might mistake me for your husband and make you embarrassed. But since you’re not embarrassed, I have nothing to worry about." Lin Mu laughed.

"Come on, wait for me a bit, I’ll go up and change clothes." Zhou Xun gestured with a wave.

"Do you want me to go up with you?"

"You wish, no need!" Zhou Xun rolled her eyes at Lin Mu and walked upstairs.

Lin Mu waited a while on the sofa in the living room, and soon Zhou Xun came down in a change of clothes. She wore a white dress, looking youthful and vibrant, definitely a sight to behold on the street!

"Hey, superstar, you’re absolutely stunning! A beauty that’s captivating, a beauty that puts even sunken fishes and fallen geese to shame!"

Lin Mu admired her from head to toe, calling it the advantage of being close to water! Don’t let good things go to waste!

"Such a smooth talker!" Zhou Xun rolled her eyes at Lin Mu, though she seemed indifferent on the surface, she was quite pleased with his compliments! Lin Mu, despite being a troublemaker who wasn’t particularly handsome, thankfully, had not lost his sense of aesthetics, which Zhou Xun really appreciated in this scoundrel.

"Haha, shopping with a top-notch beauty like you, how many males will be envious, jealous, and hateful? I bet if I gave you a little kiss in the street, I’d be killed by their nakedly jealous stares hundreds of times over!" Lin Mu said with a laugh while taking Zhou Xun’s hand as they left the house.

As they say, "beautiful cars and luxury lives!" Though Lin Mu didn’t own a BMW, he happened to have a Bugatti Veyron gifted by the Su Family, so he took out the luxury car and drove the beauty towards the Wancheng Central District mall.

Once at the mall, Lin Mu parked the car outside and then with Zhou Xun on his arm, they started walking around. To outsiders, they indeed looked like a honeymooning couple! Holding this beautiful woman in his arms definitely satisfied Lin Mu’s vanity!

Unfortunately, it seems Lin Mu and Zhou Xun have come to the wrong place, as they didn’t notice the prominent sign above them: Luxury Goods Street! This meant everything on this street was high-end. In Huaxia, so-called high-end refers to goods that aren’t inherently good but are sold at high prices. The idea that expensive equals better is an aesthetic flaw long adopted by many Huaxia women, and thus Luxury Goods Street was born!

Consider low-end items, which are the original price plus half of the operational costs, known as the discount price. Branded goods mean the original price plus ten times operational costs, colloquially known as branded items, while luxury goods mean the original price plus a hundred or even a thousand times operational costs, colloquially known as rip-off items!

Now, Lin Mu faces a rip-off test, as a salesgirl named Meimei looked at him with a smile, her eyes seemingly determined to make Lin Mu one of her ripped-off customers!

"Hey, sir, your wife has excellent taste; this scarf’s style and quality suit her perfectly..."

"Sorry," Zhou Xun’s face turned red immediately, "We’re not...that kind of relationship..."

"Oh, sorry, your girlfriend has such elegant taste..."

Before the salesgirl could finish, a sensitive Zhou Xun dragged Lin Mu out. Lin Mu, still making eyes at the salesgirl, was a bit puzzled, thinking, didn’t you ask to come here? Why so suddenly eager to leave?

Zhou Xun jerked her chin towards the price tag of the scarf, gesturing Lin Mu to look. Lin Mu glanced down and saw many zeros on the price tag of the white scarf.

"Um, twelve thousand?" Lin Mu blinked his eyes, was he seeing things? Darn, a total of four zeros, a single scarf for twelve thousand?

Lin Mu rubbed his eyes to recheck the white price tag, it was indeed his eyes playing tricks earlier; counting again, it was five zeros: a hundred and twenty thousand! Lin Mu, startled, jerked his hand back, letting it fall. Damn, this truly was a rip-off!

"Brother Lin, let’s go!" Zhou Xun sensibly tugged on Lin Mu’s sleeve.

"Alright!"

The two fled Luxury Goods Street in embarrassment, like they’d been caught stealing.

It wasn’t that Lin Mu was unwilling to spend the money, but even the Kang Bathhouse was money borrowed from Sophie; at the moment, Lin Mu simply didn’t have much cash to splurge!

The two then went to a brand store. Seeing price tags with one or two zeros, they finally got a sense of shopping.

"Superstar, this cheongsam is nice, it’ll definitely show off your figure. Come, try it on." Lin Mu said, holding the cheongsam to Zhou
