Chapter 112: I Have A Good Idea

He turned to Tan Qingying and asked, "I\'ll take this one. What about you? Do you want to pick something from this store? They have women\'s styles too."

"We\'re going to a dinner party," Tan Qingying said, rubbing her forehead. But then she suddenly brightened. "But who says you can\'t wear ancient-style fashion to a dinner party? Haha, this is interesting. I\'ll pick one too."

She quickly selected a short, cream-colored qipao and headed to the fitting room.

A few minutes later, Tan Qingying emerged wearing the qipao. Li Xiaofei was instantly stunned.

Wow.

She was breathtakingly beautiful. This was the epitome of looking both elegant and alluring. The cream-colored, leather-like fabric hugged her figure perfectly. Her moderate but well-proportioned bust, slender waist, and slightly rounded hips created an exquisite silhouette. The qipao\'s hemline, which just covered her knees, revealed her shapely thighs and exposed two smooth, porcelain-like calves.

The tender buds of youth had just begun to show. This kind of budding, youthful allure was the most fatal temptation for a man. She was like a budding flower adorned with crystal-clear dew as she stood there with a sweet smile on her face. Just one look was enough to make someone fall for her.

When she saw the stunned and amazed expression on Li Xiaofei\'s face, Tan Qingying smiled with satisfaction.

Hmph. I can\'t let you be the only one looking stunning. It\'s only fair if we both impress each other.

She didn\'t know why, but somehow, she cared very much about Li Xiaofei\'s reaction. The bespectacled female store owner couldn\'t take her eyes off the young girl in front of her.

"This... this Green Lotus outfit suits you perfectly." She adjusted her glasses excitedly. "It\'s perfect, absolutely perfect. Miss, this Green Lotus outfit on you far exceeds my initial design expectations."

Surprised, Li Xiaofei asked, "Did you design and make both of these outfits?"

The bespectacled owner shyly smiled and said with a hint of pride. "Not just these two. The Noble Gentleman series you\'re wearing, and all the clothes and accessories in this store, were designed and crafted by me."

"Impressive," Li Xiaofei said sincerely. "This is the first time I\'ve seen someone blend Great Xia\'s ancient style with modern fashion so brilliantly."

Of course, Li Xiaofei had not been in this world for long and hadn\'t seen much of the world yet. But being praised like this instantly made the bespectacled store owner have a much higher opinion of him.

"I never thought someone could perfectly showcase the essence of the two series I poured my heart into... This is wonderful. I... I can give you a discount," The store owner felt like she had met a kindred spirit.

Tan Qingying waved her hand generously and said, "No need. Your business here is so slow, and the rent at the Starry Sky Mall is expensive. If you give discounts, your store won\'t last long."

The city leader\'s daughter spoke with straightforward generosity.

"Earning less is fine," the bespectacled owner said, displaying the same magnanimous attitude. "I once swore that if someone could fully showcase the essence of my designs, I would give the clothes away for free if necessary."

Wow.

Li Xiaofei was also taken aback.

Is this what they call being suffocated by dreams?

He recognized this scenario. In many novels, the protagonist goes to a weapon shop, identifies the origin and heritage of the shop\'s treasure, and the owner, impressed, offers it for free... Everyone ends up happy.

"No, that\'s not acceptable," Li Xiaofei refused immediately.

He felt too guilty to take advantage of the owner of this struggling little store.

"Beautiful things must have value," Li Xiaofei said sincerely. "We are willing to pay for the value of these two outfits."

The store owner was stunned. It was the first time she had heard such a statement.

"Do you really think... these two outfits are good?" The bespectacled store owner asked excitedly. "Don\'t you think they don\'t fit in with this mall?"

Li Xiaofei shook his head, "Great Xia\'s style is the coolest."

The store owner was taken aback once again. When she thought back over the last few days, the customers she had seen always arrogantly critiqued her designs, even if they liked something, in order to demand a discount.

The past few days of running the store had been very discouraging for her. If it weren\'t for her deep love for traditional Great Xia fashion, her vow to create her own brand of ancient-style clothing, and a bet with her mother... She had almost considered giving up.

But now, at her most confused and messy moment, a perfect young man, who seemed born to wear her designs, appeared and spoke words that, although crude, deeply resonated with her core beliefs.

For a moment, she felt a mix of emotions. She even felt like crying.

"No, I\'m not selling them. These two outfits, I will give them to you." The store owner said, rubbing her moist eyes. "Their greatest value is in finding someone who appreciates them and can bring out their best."

"Ah, this..." Li Xiaofei waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, a gentleman doesn\'t take what others cherish. We must pay."

He could see that the store owner was in a difficult situation. So he insisted on paying, but the bespectacled owner kept declining. Tan Qingying watched from the side, amused.

How interesting.

This was the first time she had encountered such an amusing situation. She realized that as long as she was with Li Xiaofei, she always encountered many unexpected things. Just as the two continued to insist, another voice came from the nearby resting area.

"Are you two going to attend tonight\'s Starry Sky Gala?"

The voice was clearly female and slightly cool. It seemed like a breeze from an absolute icy plateau, instantly giving a bone-chilling sensation.

Li Xiaofei and Tan Qingying looked surprised. They had been in the store for quite some time and hadn\'t noticed a fourth person.

"Ah, that\'s my sister," the bespectacled store owner quickly explained. "She\'s on vacation today, so she came to my store to have a look. Please don\'t mind her; my sister doesn\'t like meeting strangers, so she\'s been reading in the resting area."

Li Xiaofei nodded and looked towards the resting area, openly admitting, "Indeed, we are attending the gala, but I\'m just going to make up the numbers, not as an official guest... "

"Who says that? I invited you, so you\'re an official guest, and an important one at that," Tan Qingying interrupted.

"In that case, I have an idea. Would Li Xiaofei be interested?" The cold voice, as piercing as an icy north wind, floated over.

"Oh? You know me?" asked Li Xiaofei, surprised.

"Hehe, the best student in two consecutive rounds of the High School War God League, the league\'s newest and strongest dark horse, and the most popular high school student in recent times... Knowing you isn\'t that strange, is it?" The voice replied calmly.

"Hehe, my reputation isn\'t very good right now," Li Xiaofei laughed self-deprecatingly. "What idea do you have? Let\'s hear it."
