Chapter 105: Just Be Obedient

Page 1/3

Shang Yucheng directly picked out a row of clothes and asked Liang Jinshang to try them on.

Liang Jinshang wasn’t so prideful as to refuse his money.

But she was unwilling to show too obvious a spending gap in front of Nan Yi.

“I’m just here to buy that shirt today,” Liang Jinshang discreetly declined. “For the others, Nan Yi and I want to visit some other places first.”

They intended to browse some affordable stores that matched their spending level.

Shang Yucheng glanced at her lazily. At that moment, the store manager approached. “Mr. Shang, after checking, you have a VIP card here with over ten million spent. It’s registered under the name Gong…”

Liang Jinshang suddenly stood up, interrupting the manager.

She couldn’t let Nan Yi hear that name.

Fortunately, Nan Yi didn’t know about the past between Gong Xueyuan and Shang Yucheng; just a single surname “Gong” wouldn’t trigger any nightmares for her.

But Liang Jinshang had an instinctive reaction. She looked at Shang Yucheng with deep emotion and immediately changed her mind. “Let me try on all those clothes just now, and for Miss Nan, get her the same sizes as mine. We’ll try them together.”

Back when Shang Yucheng and Gong Xueyuan’s romance was just a past she disrupted, she had no right to mind it.

At that time, she was ambitious and had no time to think of anything else.

But now, she had a rightful position.

She had every reason to care about the fact that Shang Yucheng had once been close to Gong Xueyuan and had pampered her—now the evidence was right before her, stuck in her throat like a bone.

The sales assistant brought over a pile of clothes. “Miss Liang, some of these dresses have complicated straps. Let me assist you.”

Before Liang Jinshang could answer, Shang Yucheng stood up and said lazily, “I’ll handle this.”

“I don’t need you,” Liang Jinshang said coldly, losing interest.

Seeing how skilled he was, did he often serve Gong Xueyuan like this?

So many exquisite clothes waiting for her to try on and choose from, yet because of one name, her mood was completely ruined.

Shang Yucheng half-closed his eyes, a shadow of something unreadable gathering there, as if in an instant he saw through the little bit of resentment in Liang Jinshang’s heart.

At that moment, another sales assistant carrying another pile of clothes walked over to Nan Yi, who was following Liang Jinshang’s instructions to get the same clothes in the same sizes.

“Miss Nan’s clothes…” Shang Yucheng suddenly spoke with a unique, masculine confidence, “Get her one size smaller.”

Liang Jinshang was too stunned to respond immediately; even Nan Yi, who had been lost in thought, cast a curious glance over.

How did he know her size?

A few seconds later, Liang Jinshang realized that Nan Yi’s size used to be the same as hers, but now that she had lost so much weight, a smaller size would fit her perfectly.

Before Liang Jinshang could scold him, Shang Yucheng had already ushered Nan Yi into the fitting room.

In the enclosed, private space, Liang Jinshang no longer cared what others might think about what they were doing—she decided to settle the matter head-on.

She asked first, “Shang Yucheng, what do you mean by that?”

It was utterly absurd.

Her boyfriend knew her best friend’s size better than she did.

Shang Yucheng’s deep black eyes lowered, showing no hint of guilt.

“I’m just reminding you, instead of stewing over a past that’s gone, why not look at what foolish things you’ve done in the present?”

Liang Jinshang laughed bitterly. “What foolish things have I done?”

“I just told you that woman’s size. How did that make you feel?”

Feelings? Of course anger, resentment, suspicion, jealousy… all those negative emotions.

Seeing the expression on her face, Shang Yucheng sneered coldly, “Sending your best friend right under your man’s nose, and yet you expect me not to care?”

Today, whether in Nantian or at this counter, people kept misunderstanding the relationship between him and Nan Yi.

And this little woman before him should have known at Qingchi Mountain that woman named Nan was no good, yet she was completely defenseless before her.

Liang Jinshang lifted her lashes and looked at him slowly. “Shang Yucheng, you wouldn’t do that.”

“I wouldn’t…” Shang Yucheng’s tone was sharp, “Wouldn’t others?”

The reason this woman had actually sent Nan Yi to him and even generously asked him to look after her wasn’t because she truly trusted him.

It was because, in Liang Jinshang’s heart, “saving Nan Yi from danger” outweighed everything else.

Naturally, it was above the concern that “other women might covet him.”

In the end, she didn’t care that much about him.

Liang Jinshang didn’t understand how Shang Yucheng had suddenly gained the upper hand. She sighed, “Shang Yucheng, actually I’m not really…”

She wasn’t truly indifferent. Any person would have possessiveness.

But the phrase “guard against fire, theft, and best friends” didn’t apply to Nan Yi—Shang Yiying’s case proved that Nan Yi detested any contact with men.

From the few times she had met Shang Yucheng, Nan Yi clearly had a certain fear of someone like him, who was so high-ranking.

“Jiabao,” Nan Yi’s voice came from outside, “Are you done? The restaurant queue might be getting close.”

“I’m coming out right now!” Liang Jinshang replied through the door.

She reached to unlock the latch.

But Shang Yucheng suddenly pulled her back and held her firmly in front of him.

Thoughtfully, he asked in her ear, “Does she always call you ‘Jiabao’?”

Liang Jinshang didn’t overthink it. “Yes. She’s called me that since before. We haven’t been in touch for years, so she probably isn’t used to calling me by my current name.”

Shang Yucheng snorted coldly and pinched her earlobe, warning softly, “Stay away from her in the future.”

“Why?”

“Just listen.”

In the end, they only bought two pieces of clothing today—one to compensate a colleague, the other to replace Nan Yi’s.

Liang Jinshang and Shang Yucheng spent half a day in the fitting room but didn’t try on a single garment. She felt a bit guilty.

But Shang Yucheng handed her a card and gave the address of Yunshui Mansion. “Send all those clothes to this address.”

Liang Jinshang glanced at the pile of clothes on the sofa, about to refuse, but Shang Yucheng added, “Register the VIP under Liang Jinshang’s name.”

Silently, Liang Jinshang swallowed the words “No.”

Her competitiveness flared up; she wouldn’t miss any chance to challenge Gong Xueyuan.

“Just get me a few more bags then,” she said slowly.

Nan Yi leaned close to her ear cautiously, “Jiabao, consider the money for those two clothes as a loan from me. I’ll pay you back when I get my salary.”

Liang Jinshang nearly forgot. She hurriedly picked out Nan Yi’s clothes, “Let’s settle those two separately.”

She took out her own card—she still had tens of thousands, though it hurt to spend.

“It’s fine, I have the money. I’ll pay,” Liang Jinshang comforted her. “As long as we don’t owe him.”

After saying that, she secretly despised herself a little.

In truth, when it came to her own man, she wasn’t as magnanimous as Shang Yucheng thought.
