Chapter 148: Chapter 143: Who is the Real Country Bumpkin? (4th Update)"Alright." The saleslady paused in surprise, then smiled and asked her colleague to bring out the same style in stock for the young man. The young man waved his hand impatiently and said, "What I meant is, I want the one he’s holding." He pointed at Bai Yan, who was about to take the clothes to try on. "Sorry, this... sir, it’s difficult for us to fulfill such a request. These customers have already taken a liking to this piece of clothing." The saleslady wore an awkward smile on her face; she gave Bai Yan and An Xiaowan an apologetic smile, then turned to softly explain to the young man. From a customer service standpoint, this saleslady’s attitude indeed could not be faulted. "So, we can’t have a garment if we ask for it? What if I buy it? Wouldn’t that work?" The wealthy woman stepped forward, protectively shooting back at the saleslady. Then, she looked at An Xiaowan with disdain: "At such a young age, you’ve already learned how to keep a man. You’ve really made something of yourself." Bai Yan was dressed plainly, while An Xiaowan looked like a princess straight out of a fairy tale, clothed head to toe in international designer brands. Standing together, if anyone were to glance over, it might indeed seem like Bai Yan was being kept by An Xiaowan. The wealthy woman was jealous of An Xiaowan’s stunningly beautiful and adorable features and her perfectly proportioned figure, hence the biting words. "What nonsense are you spouting! Brother Yan is not a man I’m keeping!" An Xiaowan bit her lip and attempted to widen her eyes as she retorted. The silly girl was angry, but her angry look only made her appear cuter, tempting one to bite her puffy and pink cheeks from irritation. "Tsk, young girls nowadays really know more than adults." The wealthy woman sneered, then gestured to the salesperson: "Quick, bring the clothes over to me. I want my sweetheart to try them on. My sweetheart will certainly look much more handsome than this bumpkin!" After speaking, the wealthy woman joyfully grasped the young man’s hand. Sweetheart? Please, stop polluting my ears! Buddy, I sincerely admire your courage. How can you be bold enough to sleep with a woman like that? Bai Yan looked at the young man with eyes full of pity. Having his hand grasped by those greasy palms, the young man felt an overwhelming urge to vomit swirling within him; he was about to retch, but he forcefully suppressed his discomfort and flashed a charming, forced smile at the wealthy woman. "Poor guy." A cold smirk appeared at the corner of Bai Yan’s mouth as he took his clothes to the fitting room. In Bai Yan’s eyes, this pathetic man and the fat woman were just cawing crows, somewhat annoying and not worth his personal intervention. "Stop right there, didn’t you hear that we’ve already bought those clothes?" The young man pointed at Bai Yan, extremely indignant. Not only was the wealthy woman envious of An Xiaowan’s beauty, but he, too, was jealous of Bai Yan, who looked like a simpleton, for being kept by such a stunningly beautiful and lovely girl like An Xiaowan. Why couldn’t he find a beautiful, adorable, and wealthy woman like An Xiaowan? He, too, longed to be kept by this cute girl! Bai Yan turned his head with an expression so glacially cold that it swept over the two of them: "I advise you not to continue testing my patience." Bai Yan didn’t bother with petty matters, but that didn’t mean he would always tolerate everything. The most Wisdom-filled approach for humans dealing with cawing crows is to silence them with one shot. Struck by Bai Yan’s icy gaze to the extreme, the wealthy woman and the young man stiffened, feeling as if they had plunged into an icy abyss, their bodies turning cold. Their souls were affected by the Demon Lord’s evil and icy demeanor, becoming dumbfounded for a moment, their lips trembling, unable to speak, and could only watch helplessly as Bai Yan calmly turned and walked into the fitting room. It must be said that sometimes a Demon identity does come in handy, at least for dealing with some niggling people – the intimidation offered by a Demon’s presence tends to be effective. Meanwhile, An Xiaowan quickly swiped her card to pay, then gave the wealthy woman a coy snort: "Now it’s my Brother Yan’s clothes!" Look at her cute little demeanor, like a victorious woman General, captivating enough to move even women, let alone men. The wealthy woman came to her senses, and her complexion turned a bit unsightly. The young man beside her promptly comforted her with a few words, then the two of them continued browsing in the store. After all, the gaze from Bai Yan earlier was too chilling, and he dared not continue to be presumptuous. Moreover, the young man did not wish to leave a bad impression on An Xiaowan; he was still considering whether he could obtain her phone number later and perhaps find a new person to keep him. Yes, this young man was a professional ’duck’, relying on his somewhat attractive looks to flutter around the circles of rich women. He was already fed up with the greasy-bodied wealthy woman by his side, not only because she was disgusting, but she also often deluded herself into thinking she was beautiful. If not for the money, he would absolutely have given her a few resounding slaps and walked away. seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After a while, the young man excused himself, suggesting that the wealthy woman go to the restroom to freshen up her makeup, but he himself approached An Xiaowan to cozy up. An Xiaowan was very cautious, keeping her distance from him at all times, causing him to hit a wall repeatedly. "Excuse me, beautiful miss, could I perhaps get your phone number? My last name is Chen, and I’m twenty-four years old." Chen, the young man, presented what he believed to be his most charming smile and spoke to An Xiaowan with elegant courtesy. "No interest." An Xiaowan moved away, casting a wary glance at him before heading to another counter to select clothes for Bai Yan. "Since we have met, it’s fate. Miss, don’t be so cold. Why don’t you tell me your beautiful name?" Chen, the persistent young man, continued to follow An Xiaowan. In his gaze directed at An Xiaowan, there was a hint of barely perceptible greed. He had just seen the large and small packages of clothes Bai Yan was holding—the total value of those clothes could cover an entire year’s expenses for an ordinary family! This gorgeous and stunning girl was so generous to that man! Unlike that fat lady, who gave Chen so little pocket money, not even ten thousand a month. If such a cute and wealthy girl were to provide for him, he’d be laughing in his dreams. "Ah, you’re so annoying!" An Xiaowan frowned. "I already have a boyfriend!" "Boyfriend? That poor kid?" Chen sneered with disdain. "Beautiful miss, I’m not one to speak ill of others intentionally, but a guy like him really doesn’t match you. Not only is his demeanor inferior, but he also looks very average, and he’s poor! Such a loser really doesn’t deserve you." Just then. "Who are you to say who doesn’t match whom?" Bai Yan’s voice rang out, calm and detached; he had already changed his clothes and come out. "Brother Yan!" An Xiaowan turned her head, her eyes brightened, and she quickly ran to Bai Yan’s side. Bai Yan was dressed in a sleek black suit, his fair face showing sharp, chiseled coolness, and his deep black eyes glinted with an icy chill that could freeze one’s heart. Those towering brows and a high nose bridge, the thin, tightly pursed lips, every detail exuded nobility and elegance. "Brother Yan, you look so handsome." An Xiaowan watched Bai Yan at this moment, full of admiration. A trace of infatuation in An Xiaowan’s beautiful eyes, she wished she could announce to the whole world that this was her man, and he was so outstanding! "Hiss~" The female sales assistants were all dazzled, taking a sharp breath as they couldn’t help but murmur in admiration, "He’s so handsome!" This man, who had initially seemed unremarkable, now displayed a unique charm in a suit tailored by a Zegna Italian master. He seemed like a wild and untamed rogue, yet also like a handsome man of resolute justice. Indeed, clothes make the man, and Bai Yan appeared extraordinarily handsome after changing his outfit. Chen turned his head in confusion. Seeing Bai Yan’s indifferent expression and the imposing aura of nobility, his face suddenly changed: "You....." How did this guy suddenly become so handsome! He’s outshone me by miles! "I think the real bumpkin is you." Bai Yan smiled lightly, a mere mortal daring to compare himself with him? Utterly preposterous! Whether it was the demeanor of a human Martial Arts Master or the aura of the Demon Lord, neither was comparable to a young man like Chen. Bai Yan shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to the ash-faced young man. Holding An Xiaowan’s delicate hand and carrying his various bags of clothes, Bai Yan left the store with an unaffected expression. Many sales assistants glanced at Bai Yan, then at Chen. Comparing the two, Chen indeed looked more like a bumpkin. After all, not every man possesses the amalgamation of good and evil in their charm like Bai Yan, whose natural charisma is staggeringly powerful. Faced with the sales assistants’ whispering and pointing, Chen turned pale with anger. But since the people were already gone, he could only stand there, seething with teeth clenched in solitary frustration. Before long, the made-up fat lady returned. "Hello, are you interested in this suit?" The saleswoman approached with a smile, since a sale of a suit costing tens of thousands could bring a good commission. "They’re gone? Then I don’t want it!" The fat lady looked around and, seeing Bai Yan and An Xiaowan had left, had no desire to buy such expensive clothing for Chen without anyone to show off to. "Your clothes are too expensive! And the craftsmanship is terrible, it’s not worth it to bring it home!" She expressed disgust, nitpicking and scrutinizing the suit before leaving the Zegna Men’s Clothing Store with Chen. The sales assistants were dumbfounded, exchanging glances. Such suits were hand-made by Italy’s most famous tailors, and incredibly scarce in global distribution! To have such a highly sought-after item in fashion circles criticized by the fat lady’s seemingly endless complaints?! The sales assistants were speechless, realizing these two had been putting on an act of wealthiness without the willingness to buy even an expensive suit. Indeed, in a large forest, there’ll be all kinds of birds, these two were such oddballs! Chen left the Zegna Men’s Clothing Store with the fat lady, looking utterly miserable. Having been fiercely undermined by Bai Yan, who he thought he overshadowed in appearance, he now saw his sugar mama’s miserliness toward him. Chen felt like he wanted to die.
