Chapter 1355: Chapter 716: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc – Mistaken for Siblings
The man stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at her, "Are you implying that I can’t afford to buy a few outfits?"
"I’m not saying you can’t afford it, but I currently don’t have any money."
She didn’t have a cent on her right now. When she was kidnapped and brought here, she had a few hundred dollars when she left the house, but she didn’t know if she’d lost it or if it had been taken by those people. Anyway, she had no money now.
Forget buying clothes, she couldn’t even afford a bottle of water.
Xi Mohan glanced at her indifferently, then simply took her hand and walked into the store.
Ning Wan was pulled along by him and originally wanted to say something else, but when she saw the man with a cold face, all the words caught in her throat.
As they entered the store, an elegant Western woman came up immediately, speaking authentic French.
Ning Wan stood beside Xi Mohan, utterly confused, not understanding a word.
Her English was pretty fluent, but she had never learned French at all.
She instantly felt that being kidnapped to country F and then rescued by Xi Mohan was unbelievably lucky.
If she had been kidnapped and left stranded in this strange land, with no money and unable to communicate, she felt she would surely starve to death on the street.
She hadn’t asked how Xi Mohan managed to rescue her or why she had been kidnapped in the first place.
Xi Mohan spoke fluent French as well. Ning Wan, standing by, felt she was listening to an alien language, and before she knew it, Xi Mohan was already leading her further inside, casually grabbing a set of clothes and handing them to her, "Go try these on in the fitting room."
Ning Wan accepted the clothes, and after a moment, said "Oh," took a couple of steps, then stopped and turned to look at Xi Mohan, handing him the oversized blazer she was wearing like a dress, and said, "It’s quite cold outside, wearing only a shirt is easy to catch a cold. Here, take the jacket."
Anyway, they were going to buy new clothes. She felt a bit awkward continuing to wear his blazer.
She had already noticed the peculiar looks other people in the store were giving her.
Xi Mohan glanced at the short sleeve she was wearing, reached out, and took the blazer.
Only then did Ning Wan contentedly go in to change her clothes.
After Ning Wan went inside, Xi Mohan wandered around the store, then picked out a light pink spring jacket.
The store staff were all young women with exquisite makeup and work attire. Working here was not just for the decent wages; they could also meet many wealthy people.
However, most of the customers who came in were women. Seeing a handsome guy like Xi Mohan was a first for them, and many people’s eyes naturally fell on him. Some couldn’t resist and quietly started discussing Xi Mohan with their colleagues.
Xi Mohan had casually picked out a complete set of matching crewneck long-sleeve top and pants. Ning Wan glanced at the style. It matched her usual clothing preferences well.
But when she noticed the price tag, she couldn’t help but gasp. The clothes weren’t just expensive, the top and pants were priced separately.
The key thing was, the clothes and pants were over fifty thousand.
Damn...
The Ning Family was wealthy, but the most expensive clothes she usually bought were only a few thousand, and even then it was only one or two sets.
There were clothes priced over ten thousand, but they were dresses worn for events.
For everyday wear, they were all priced in the hundreds.
After changing into the clothes, she checked herself out and acknowledged that Xi Mohan had a good eye. The outfit made her look even better.
Done changing, she didn’t linger further in there, opened the fitting room door and stepped out, catching sight immediately of the man seated on the couch, alongside a woman with an Oriental face, smiling and chatting.
The distance was too great, and she didn’t hear what the woman was saying, and Xi Mohan sat there quietly, unsure if he was listening to her.
Ning Wan experienced a strong pang of discomfort in her heart, akin to witnessing her husband cheating with another woman.
Immediately, the smile hanging on her small face vanished.
Upon seeing Ning Wan come out, Xi Mohan, despite the distance, scrutinized her in the new clothes, then said two words to her plainly, "Come over."
Ning Wan hesitated for a moment, but walked over to him directly.
The woman’s gaze also fell on Ning Wan, and she asked Xi Mohan, "This handsome man, is this your sister? Your sister looks quite pretty and resembles you."
Ning Wan, "...Where do I look like him?"
Xi Mohan didn’t respond to the woman’s question, stood up, took the jacket he’d picked earlier, and draped it over her shoulders, then said contently, "Yes, it looks good dressed like this."
Then, turning his head to the side, he looked at a store clerk, and began speaking fluent French, "Wrap up these clothes and the ones I picked earlier."
The clerk beamed immediately, after all, Xi Mohan had just picked up several outfits, totaling close to a million. She nodded at once.
Never had they encountered such generous customers; others usually bought one or two sets only.
Not hearing Xi Mohan’s response, the woman’s face fell slightly. She stood up and turned to Ning Wan, saying "Your brother is quite handsome."
By now, Ning Wan understood that this woman was attracted to Xi Mohan’s looks and aura, hence the attempt at striking up a conversation.
Plastering a bright smile on her face, Ning Wan spoke word by word clearly to the woman, "Who said he’s my brother?"
The woman paused, "Isn’t he your brother?"
"Of course not." Ning Wan took a glance at Xi Mohan, and seeing his gaze wasn’t on hers, she grew bolder and told the woman, "He’s my future husband, I am his acknowledged girlfriend."
The woman’s expression instantly froze, looking at Ning Wan, she asked, "But you look quite young, are you even... of age?"
