45: Chapter 45 Invitation to the Fitting Room

When Chen Lingling saw Jiang Li and Wang Yaoyao appear together, her head buzzed.

Ever since she found out that Fang Song was a fake rich kid, she had been regretting it immensely.

The Audi A6 that guy drove was rented, the money he used to treat people to dinner was cashed out from credit cards, and even his clothes were knock-off designer brands bought from Pinduoduo...

She had dumped Jiang Li for a piece of trash like that.

Looking back now, she felt like a complete clown.

Although Jiang Li wasn't incredibly wealthy, in a place like Fanxing County, being the small owner of a luxury rental shop meant his income was at least in the upper-middle tier.

And most importantly... Jiang Li was really good in bed.

Last time, she gathered the courage to go to the shop to find Jiang Li, but before she could even get a word out, Wang Yaoyao hit her with a combo that left her completely disoriented.

She didn't expect to run into them again today, and to see them together at that.

What should she do?

Chen Lingling pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.

She couldn't back down!

She was, after all, his first love and original girlfriend...

Even though they had broken up, she had accompanied Jiang Li through his youth; there were several years of feelings between them, after all.

So what if Jiang Li had many women around him now?

This Wang Yaoyao wasn't necessarily his official girlfriend.

What if Jiang Li still had feelings for her in his heart?

Strictly speaking, she didn't even cheat... at most, she just wavered mentally for a moment.

No, she didn't even cheat mentally; it was purely for money!

In this situation... she should be forgivable, right?

Chen Lingling took a deep breath, nervously adjusted the hair by her ear, and took small steps toward Jiang Li.

"Jiang Li... what a coincidence. Are you two out shopping here?"

Her voice was soft, and she looked cautious.

Her eyes wanted to look at Jiang Li but didn't dare to, her long eyelashes fluttering up and down.

That hazy, timid feeling was exactly like when the two of them first met in college.

Coupled with the black Valentino professional suit she was wearing, the waist-cinching design wrapped perfectly around her figure. With her hair in a bun and light makeup, she certainly had a unique appeal.

Unfortunately, it was too late now.

If it had been right after they broke up, Jiang Li might have taken a second look.

Back then, he had just been dumped, and he hadn't climbed out of that relationship yet; that pitiful look would have been a critical hit to him.

But now... with his career taking off, constant romantic encounters, and the system's support, he was too busy to keep up.

His mind was filled with how to grind health points and how to unlock new industries...

Just now, while shopping in the gold district, Wang Yaoyao's affection for him had surged again.

Perhaps in a little while, Wang Yaoyao would show off her eighteen martial arts, unlocking even more areas to explore.

Who had the spare time to play along with an ex-girlfriend's melodrama?

"Yeah, just looking around."

Jiang Li said in a flat tone, "You don't need to serve me; it's too awkward. Find someone else."

This was actually a lie; the main reason was that Jiang Li didn't even want to let Chen Lingling earn the commission.

He was bringing Wang Yaoyao here to go on a shopping spree, so the commission definitely wouldn't be small.

In a small shop like this in Fanxing County, it might even be enough to let a salesperson complete their monthly quota.

What if Chen Lingling ended up taking advantage of this big opportunity?

Seeing that Jiang Li completely ignored her, Chen Lingling's face turned pale, but she didn't want to give up.

She took another step forward and reached out gently, trying to grab Jiang Li's arm.

The moment her fingertips touched Jiang Li's sleeve... a fair hand suddenly reached out from the side, ruthlessly blocking Chen Lingling's wrist.

From the moment they entered the shop, Wang Yaoyao had been observing Jiang Li's gaze.

With two years of experience as a coach, Wang Yaoyao was very good at reading people.

She knew her position very well.

A man like Jiang Li—young, wealthy, and having great stamina—would only have more and more women around him.

She couldn't be the last one, and certainly not the most important one.

She didn't expect to be the official girlfriend at all; she would be content just being a stable Little Colorful Flag.

Therefore, being sensible was very important.

Before entering the shop, she had already listed emergency plans in her head:

If Jiang Li's gaze seemed off after seeing Chen Lingling, showing signs of rekindling old feelings, she would immediately switch to wingman mode and help Jiang Li create opportunities.

As long as Jiang Li was happy, she would definitely get her benefits.

But now it seemed that Jiang Li was completely uninterested in Chen Lingling. At the very least, he was uninterested in this very second, and perhaps even a bit repulsed.

Then she wouldn't blame herself for being impolite.

"Young lady."

Wang Yaoyao took a half-step forward, blocking the space between Jiang Li and Chen Lingling, with a standard professional fake smile on her face.

"I know you used to be my brother's girlfriend, but you have to be sensible now, right?"

"You're a salesperson, and you're hitting on my boyfriend right in front of me. What do you think you're doing?"

She tilted her head, her tone nonchalant, but her words were extremely sharp.

"If I file a complaint against you, won't you be fined to death?"

Hearing this, Chen Lingling's face turned pale instantly.

She had no boyfriend now, no source of income, and this sales job at Valentino was the only thing she could hold onto.

If headquarters found out she was hitting on a female customer's boyfriend in the store... she would definitely be fired, and might even be fined.

Then she would truly be finished!

Chen Lingling bit her lip and took a step back.

Forget it, endure it for now!

Anyway, Fanxing County was such a small place; perhaps she could still have some interaction with Jiang Li in the future.

When the time came, she would find a day when he wasn't with a female companion and sneakily find him to talk...

Seeing Chen Lingling back away obediently, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, he was a bit puzzled.

That wasn't right. Given Wang Yaoyao's combat power last time, ten Chen Linglings wouldn't even be enough for a warm-up.

Why was she so gentle today? Did she stop after just two mild sentences?

That shouldn't be! According to his expectations, since Chen Lingling dared to make a move, Wang Yaoyao should have pinned her to the ground and rubbed her face in it right then and there.

However, soon enough, Jiang Li knew he had thought too simply.

Wang Yaoyao looked at the shelves unhurriedly for a while, finally picking out a pair of black wide-leg pants and asking the salesperson nearby to help find the right size.

Then she turned around, her gaze passing over Chen Lingling and landing smilingly on Jiang Li.

"Brother~"

"The zipper on this piece of clothing is a bit hard to handle. Could you come into the fitting room and help me with it?"

"By the way, pick out a pair of stockings you like and bring them over. I'll wear them for you to see if they're any good, okay?"

After saying this, she specifically glanced at Chen Lingling, who was standing to the side, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

Jiang Li subconsciously licked his lips. A wave of heat surged within him.

He knew Wang Yaoyao was not someone to be trifled with!

Calling him into the fitting room right in front of Chen Lingling, and specifically telling him to bring a pair of stockings... this was truly a psychological execution!
