Chapter 193 People Investing in Qichen

Lin Chen, however, took her hand and led her back into the store, saying with a smile:

"Expensive is right. How can my manager wear those budget clothes?"

"Today, I'm going to properly outfit you. From now on, when you go out, people will know at a glance that you are someone from my Qichen Investment."

Seeing the two of them enter, the Waiter at the door immediately stepped forward respectfully to greet them,

a standard smile on their face:

"Sir, Miss, hello. How can I help you?"

Lin Chen waved his hand casually, his tone indifferent:

"Pick out a few outfits for her—casual and professional. Choose your latest styles. Don't worry about the price; as long as they fit and look good, that's all that matters."

The Waiter's eyes lit up, and they quickly responded:

"Certainly, sir. Please, this way, sir and miss. Our latest arrivals are all over here."

With that, they led the two deeper into the store.

Pulled along by Lin Chen, Li Sisi still felt a bit uneasy. She leaned into his ear and whispered in a low voice:

"Lin Chen, really, don't buy things this expensive. It's too wasteful. I'm not used to wearing such nice clothes."

Her breath brushed gently against Lin Chen's ear, carrying a faint, fresh fragrance,

making Lin Chen's heart itch. He turned his head, his nose almost touching her cheek, and his voice was deep and suggestive:

"You'll get used to it. I'll buy them for you often from now on."

"Besides, clothes this beautiful are only a waste if you aren't the one wearing them."

Warm breath puffed against her face, and Li Sisi's cheeks instantly turned beet red. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him, her heart beating so fast it felt like it would jump out of her chest.

She could feel Lin Chen's gaze on her,

burning and focused, making her feel self-conscious yet also secretly expectant.

"Is he trying to please me because he wants some new tricks tonight?"

Thinking of this, Li Sisi blushed again.

"Hmph, this guy is full of devious ideas. It seems he's happy today, so I guess I'll have to give him an extra 'treat' tonight!"

The Waiter soon brought over several outfits, all from Chanel's current season.

One was a haze-blue silk professional suit skirt; the sharp, cinched waist design made one's posture look upright and elegant.

The double-C metal buttons on the suit lapel were understated and exquisite, particularly suitable for her to wear when discussing business at work.

There was also a champagne-colored knit dress with a gentle square neckline.

The hem was a slightly flared A-line, and the fabric was a delicate mulberry silk blend that felt soft and skin-friendly.

It couldn't be more perfect for casual dates.

There was also an oatmeal-colored cashmere coat in Chanel's classic oversized silhouette.

It was sleek and slimming, felt as soft as a cloud, and was both warm and elegant.

In addition, they brought two simple silk shirts,

one basic white and one light gray striped, both versatile enough to pair with suits or skirts.

"Miss, you can go to the fitting room to try them on and see if they fit."

The Waiter handed the clothes to Li Sisi and said with a smile.

Li Sisi looked at the clothes in her hand, then at Lin Chen, her eyes still showing some hesitation.

Lin Chen gave her a little push, his tone encouraging:

"Go on, try them. I'll wait for you out here. They'll definitely look great."

Li Sisi bit her lip and eventually took the clothes into the fitting room.

Closing the fitting room door, she took a deep breath to calm her racing heart,

then slowly took off her own clothes and changed into the professional suit skirt.

The girl in the mirror was instantly transformed.

Originally dressed in ordinary casual wear, after changing into this Chanel haze-blue silk suit skirt,

her entire aura was elevated significantly. The luster of the silk fabric made her skin look fair and translucent.

The sharp, cinched waist perfectly outlined her slender waist, and the double-C metal buttons provided a subtle accent.

It was capable yet gentle, elegant yet spirited.

She no longer looked like an ordinary office clerk;

instead, she looked like a sharp, capable workplace elite who frequently moved in high-end circles. Even she couldn't help but take a few extra looks.

Li Sisi looked at herself in the mirror, somewhat unable to believe it.

She had never thought she would look this good in such clothes.

She reached out to touch the fabric; it was soft and smooth, very comfortable against her skin without the slightest sense of restriction.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

Lin Chen's voice came from outside the fitting room, tinged with anticipation.

Li Sisi took a deep breath, gently opened the door, and walked out.

Her cheeks were still red, and her eyes were a bit shifty as she said softly:

"It's... it's okay, I guess."

The moment Lin Chen saw her, his eyes lit up, and he instinctively stopped in his tracks.

His gaze was fixed on her, filled with amazement.

He had always known Li Sisi had good features; she just didn't usually focus on dressing up. Once she put on the right clothes, she would definitely be stunning.

At this moment, wearing the suit skirt, her posture was upright and her expression gentle.

She had both the competence of a professional manager and the charm of a young woman, making his heart skip a beat.

"What do you mean 'okay'? You look absolutely beautiful."

Lin Chen stepped forward, looking her over carefully. He reached out to gently smooth a wrinkle on her skirt.

His fingertips inadvertently brushed against her thigh, making Li Sisi tremble all over.

She instinctively took a step back, her cheeks hot enough to boil an egg.

"Don't just touch..."

Li Sisi's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at him.

Seeing her bashful appearance, Lin Chen liked her even more.

A wicked smile played at the corners of his mouth as he deliberately leaned in close, his tone suggestive:

"What's wrong with me touching my own manager?"

"Besides, when someone is this beautiful, isn't it normal for me to look a bit more and touch a bit more?"

The Waiter watched from the side with a knowing smile.

Sensibly, they said nothing and quietly retreated to the side, leaving space for the two of them.

Li Sisi was left speechless by his words.

She could only lower her head and let him look her over, but her heart felt sweet.

She could feel that Lin Chen treated her differently. That kind of intimacy and doting

wasn't the attitude one had toward a subordinate; it was more like how one treated someone they liked.

This feeling made her nervous, expectant, and filled with a secret joy.

"We're definitely buying this set."

Lin Chen patted her shoulder, his tone firm.

"Go try on that dress now. I want to see how it looks."

Li Sisi nodded and didn't argue further. She turned back into the fitting room and changed into the Chanel champagne-colored knit dress.

The dress was a mulberry silk blend; the light champagne color was gentle and complemented her fair skin.

The square neckline revealed her delicate collarbones, and the slightly flared A-line hem hid any minor imperfections around her waist.

It outlined her graceful figure, and there was subtle double-C embroidery at the hem.

It was almost unnoticeable unless one looked closely, exuding sophistication in an understated way.

She looked gentle and elegant, like a girl who had stepped out of a painting.

When she stepped out of the fitting room again, Lin Chen's gaze was once more captivated.

If the suit skirt from before was a capable elite, then this dress was a gentle goddess. Two different styles,

yet she pulled both off perfectly.

He stepped forward and gently took her wrist in his hand.

Pulling her in front of him, he looked at her intently, his tone carrying a hint of infatuation:

"Sisi, you really are too beautiful. You look good in everything."

With her wrist held by him, the warm sensation spread,

making her whole body go soft. She looked up at him, her eyes slightly misty,

and her voice was soft and sweet:

"Don't say that, you're making me embarrassed."
