Chapter 97 -97: Nicely Dressed
“…” Tang Yu was stunned, her eyes widening in surprise. She hurried after Ye Sihan as he got into the car, scrambling in after him and explaining, “That’s not what I meant… I meant it in the literal sense.”
Ye Sihan sat in the black seat with his legs crossed, remaining silent as he looked out the window.
Tang Yu bit her slightly swollen lips, thinking surely he wouldn’t want to do it again so soon?
Internally cursing Ye Sihan.
After what they had done the night before last, one would think a few days’ rest was in order!
This man was terrifyingly relentless!
The car took them to an upscale restaurant where the Western cuisine was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It was only with Ye Sihan that Tang Yu could enjoy such delicacies.
She suddenly wondered how many years she had spent here and how long had Ye Sihan been here?
At first, that one-night stand, Ye Sihan was a male escort in the bar.
“How many years have you been here?” she asked, and seeing no change in Ye Sihan’s expression, she quickly rephrased, “I’m just casually asking, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to…”
“Three years.”
Tang Yu wondered, had he been a male escort for three years?
It seemed shorter than she had imagined.
Becaue Ye Sihan had just come of age when he left home.
No, no, no, it’s possible he had been doing it for three years here, and elsewhere before that.
Tang Yu admitted that Ye Sihan’s past was definitely less than respectable.
But wasn’t that his own fault?
Why create such a mess over your father’s remarriage?
However, she wouldn’t dare voice such thoughts.
If she did, she wouldn’t expect to walk out of this restaurant.
The tense atmosphere that had eased between her and Ye Sihan would shatter again, and mending it would not be so easy.
“What are you thinking?”
Tang Yu looked up, meeting those unfathomable black eyes, and adjusted her emotions as she said, “I was just thinking… how hard things must have been for you before. But despite the hardships, you are now very successful, with a status untouchable by others, which is quite impressive.”
Even phrased so tactfully, she felt anxious inside.
Ye Sihan would surely be reminded of the people and events that had caused him such hardship.
But she was just trying to take a step further, hoping her efforts hadn’t been in vain if it worked.
Yet Ye Sihan’s black eyes were like a deep abyss, their depths impossible to discern, filled with infinite danger.
“Don’t cross the line,” he said, his voice devoid of warmth, his presence commanding.
Tang Yu knew the timing wasn’t right, “Okay, I won’t mention it again,” she said, lowering her head to her food.
Ye Sihan’s black gaze lingered on her for a moment, piercingly sharp, as if it could penetrate through her body.
After eating for a while, Tang Yu turned her face toward the luxurious street visible through the window.
The rain had stopped outside.
From beginning to end, Ye Sihan showed no sign of emotional disturbance, implying that only thunder and lightning could affect him.
And yet, she had dared to prod Ye Sihan’s scales in this unpredictable weather, unsure of what she was thinking.
Being too hasty would only backfire.
“Are we going back to the country now?” Tang Yu asked when they were almost finished eating.
“Yes,” Ye Sihan said, looking at his watch before signaling the waiter to bring the check.
Exiting the restaurant, Tang Yu followed him into the car, expecting they would return to the mansion.
But they stopped in front of a women’s clothing store.
Inside, the salesperson immediately came forward with a warm welcome.
Tang Yu was still confused, wondering if Ye Sihan was going to buy a gift for another woman?
Then she heard his low voice, “This is your compensation for the business trip.”
Tang Yu was taken aback, for her?
Instinctively, she declined, “No need, I have clothes to wear.”
“I don’t like to repeat myself,” Ye Sihan’s look and tone were both imperious and domineering.
To avoid provoking him, Tang Yu could only follow the salesperson to pick out her “reward.”
Designer labels, where the price of a single camisole could shock anyone’s jaw to the floor, as if it was just two pieces of cloth stitched together.
After that, she stopped looking at the prices.
Since she had to buy, she would definitely choose what she liked.
After slipping into a dress, she walked up to Ye Sihan, “Does it look good?”
Ye Sihan’s gaze slid down from her head to her bare, fair, slender legs like a tangible object, narrowing slightly, brimming with danger.
“Then I’ll try another one,” thinking he wasn’t pleased, Tang Yu turned to try on a different piece.
Whether pants or skirts, she tried on eight sets in various styles, and Ye Sihan didn’t utter a word.
Back in the dressing room, Tang Yu was so tired she was panting—shopping for clothes was exhausting!
She silently criticized Ye Sihan’s taste—weren’t any of them good-looking? She had picked everything she liked herself!
Forget it, the last set!
If this one isn’t right, then she wouldn’t buy at all!
A Chanel-style suit, white with silver threads running through it, made her whole person seem as if highlighted with glow.
Standing before Ye Sihan again, she asked once more, “This one must be alright, right?”
Ye Sihan stared at her, his eyes deep, his face revealing no emotions.
Giving up, Tang Yu said, “Then I won’t buy it. It might not suit me.”
She turned back to the dressing room to change into her own clothes.
Just as she approached Ye Sihan, the salesperson came over with a card, handing it over with both hands, “Sir, your card, thank you for visiting.”
Ye Sihan stood up, “Let’s go.”
Tang Yu followed behind, confused.
Outside, when she saw the salesperson carrying out all the big and small bags, she seemed to understand something.
Those were all the clothes she had just tried on.
After getting in the car, Tang Yu still uncertainly asked, “Are all these mine?”
“They look good on you,” Ye Sihan said with his deep, dark eyes, giving his appraisal.
Tang Yu bit her lip, thinking, then why didn’t you speak up when I was standing in front of you?
If you had spoken up, I wouldn’t have had to try on so many sets, right?
But then she thought better of it; with Ye Sihan’s wealth, the price of a few clothes wouldn’t matter to him, though for her they were astronomical!!
The spending of the wealthy was truly frightening!
It wasn’t over yet; the car made a U-turn, heading to a jewelry store, then to a bag shop.
Tang Yu didn’t hold back and told Ye Sihan she wanted to buy a bag for Li Xue and that she could pay for it herself.
Ye Sihan said nothing and paid for it all at checkout.
“I’ll transfer it to you.” While on the car ride, Tang Yu took out her phone.
“I can take it back from you,” Ye Sihan declared, his black eyes filled with an intimidating danger.
They left on his private jet in the afternoon.
In the room on the plane, Tang Yu was once again pinned down by Ye Sihan.
The temperature in the room kept rising, as if she was lying next to flowing lava, about to melt away.
The partition next to them was left open; turning her head, she could still see the soft clouds.
Tang Yu wanted to resist the overwhelming sensation Ye Sihan brought her, but he wouldn’t allow it, not stopping until he heard her cries.
Her body wouldn’t allow it, either, as if it had slipped out of her control.
All under Ye Sihan’s control.
Before Tang Yu passed out, she concluded she finally understood the purpose of Ye Sihan bringing her on his business trip.
To entertain him during his spare time on the plane!
Through the long journey, Tang Yu had no idea how she endured it.
By the time she woke up, she was already in the Ye Mansion.
She had no recollection of when they had returned, nor did she remember how she got off the plane.
There was no need to think; she knew she must have been carried off by Ye Sihan.
