Shi Nuan shook her head while saying, “Not really.”
Fu Chengyan’s gaze trailed to Shi Nuan’s feet. His gaze darkened when he saw the high heels that she was wearing. “Let’s go!”
“Where are we going?”
“To buy you new shoes!” Fu Chengyan said, “Next time, you should speak out when you feel uncomfortable, okay?”
Shi Nuan was stunned for a moment and she blinked several times before replying, “It’s fine. I’m okay with it. I have plenty of shoes at home so there’s no need to buy new ones.” She thought that Fu Chengyan was overdoing it but the man didn’t give her a chance to refuse. He led her straightaway to the shoe section and they went into one of the shops together.
When the salesperson saw Fu Chengyan, especially in the fancy suit he had on, she couldn’t help but stare at him. Fu Chengyan shot a sharp look at the salesperson who then hurriedly glanced away.
Shi Nuan pursed her lips and raised her brows. “See, although she doesn’t know who you are, you’re outstanding.”
“I am glad to hear your kind praises!” Fu Chengyan caressed her gently. “Choose a pair of comfortable shoes so next time, you don’t have to suffer.” Fu Chengyan gazed at her feet. “You’re the one who’s in pain.”
Shi Nuan pursed her lips. Whenever she was upset, she’d do this subconsciously. After being together for a long time, Fu Chengyan already understood what her little actions meant. He stretched his hand out to caress her head. “Be good. Go!”
Shi Nuan shoved his hand away. “Don’t touch my head. I’m not your pet!” Shi Nuan sounded upset but she still obediently went to choose a pair of shoes.
Fu Chengyan did this for her own sake. Plus, her feet were really hurting. She had been wearing that pair of shoes for the whole day, so her heels and soles were aching badly. “Could you sit someplace and wait for me then?”
“Sure.” Fu Chengyan replied while sitting down on the sofa and grabbing a magazine.
Fu Chengyan was able to stay calm and composed no matter where he was. That was hard to come by.
Shi Nuan shook her head and started to carefully browse through the collection of shoes.
The salesperson had been working in the shopping mall for years and had plenty of experience with wealthy men like Fu Chengyan. Although she had no idea who Fu Chengyan was, his clothes seemed expensive and there was no tag to be seen, which meant that he was wearing a custom-fitted suit. She was certain that Fu Chengyan was a wealthy man. And as for the woman who came in with him, they seemed to be in a close relationship based on how they held hands, hence the salesperson quickly walked up to her.
“Miss, what kind of design do you have in mind? This pair of shoes was flown in from Italy a few days ago. I believe they will suit you well.”
Shi Nuan glanced at the pair of shoes in the display cabinet while the salesperson continued, “Miss, with your elegance, I’m sure you can carry the shoes well!”
Shi Nuan raised her brows as she was indeed attracted by that pair of high heels.
They were bright red in color and there was a unique design around the ankles. It was very artistic and was obviously designed by a well-known designer.
This was a pair of high heels that any woman would buy on first glance. Shi Nuan walked towards the cabinet and gazed at it intently.
The desire to look attractive was universal. No woman would refuse such a gorgeous pair of high heels. Shi Nuan was just like any other woman and she was also naturally attracted to beautiful things. Shi Nuan had been looking at the pair of shoes for some time. The salesperson could see that she liked it a lot and said, “Miss, you have good taste. This is from Italy—”
“Wow, how gorgeous!” A light voice interrupted the salesperson. “I saw this during the previous fashion show. The famous designer Cen designed it. I noticed the high heels when Opina had them on and wanted to buy them ever since. I have never dreamt to see them in Jiang City!”
Shi Nuan froze when she heard that voice. True enough, Shi Wei walked into the store with two socialites behind her. Shi Nuan met those ladies before. They were Shi Wei’s friends and they often teased her.
Shi Nuan frowned and instinctively wanted to leave. But Shi Wei wouldn’t let her do so. The woman exclaimed in surprise as if she had just noticed Shi Nuan. “Nuan! Oh Nuan, you’re here to shop too?”
Shi Wei came over and grabbed onto her arm. “Nuan, are you busy recently? Why didn’t you come home to visit us?”
Shi Nuan’s brows furrowed as Shi Wei was gripping her hand. She pulled her hand back and smiled, “Long time no see. You’re shopping with your friends?”
“Yes, Nuan.” Shi Wei smiled. “These are my friends. You’ve seen them before, remember?”
