Chapter 475 Any places you'd like to visit?

Xie Shuyao rolled her eyes, saying with exasperation, "Focusing on your career and getting married don't conflict; you can do both!"

"Otherwise, by the time you've finished building your career and are old, you'll find yourself surrounded by unattractive old men. Then it'll be too late for you to cry!"

Ming Nianxi was startled by what she said. After a moment's thought, she realized it made sense.

—It is indeed possible to balance career and marriage.

Moreover, her mother had said that once she got married and had children, her mother could come and help her take care of them, so even if her mother-in-law was unwilling to help, she wouldn't have to worry too much.

Not long after, Lu Boyi came out after changing his clothes, and the three of them went downstairs together.

Lu Boyi had only bought the car recently. These days, a car costing over 200,000 yuan is considered a luxury car.

Ming Nianxi and Xie Shuyao couldn't help but take a second look at the sleek, imposing SUV downstairs.

Xie Shuyao reacted the fastest, immediately opening the car door and getting into the back seat.

Ming Nianxi also tried to squeeze into the back seat, but Lu Boyi gently pulled her wrist and led her towards the passenger seat, saying in a gentle tone, "You sit in the passenger seat, closer to me."

Ming Nianxi blushed slightly and replied softly, "Okay."

After starting the car, Lu Boyi turned to look at Ming Nianxi and asked, "Is there anywhere you'd like to visit?"

Ming Nianxi thought for a moment, then whispered, "Let's go to Wanmin Square!"

Things there aren't expensive, and it's quite lively.

She subconsciously didn't want to go to places that were too high-end, afraid that she would feel out of place.

Lu Boyi paused for a moment, then repeated softly, "Wanmin Square?"

Ming Nianxi thought he didn't want to go, so she quickly added, "If you don't want to go, we can go somewhere else, either is fine."

"No, it's fine." Lu Boyi smiled, his tone still gentle, but the car gradually veered away from the road to Wanmin Square.

Ming Nianxi and Xie Shuyao exchanged a glance, both feeling uncertain, but neither dared to ask any further questions.

When the car came to a complete stop, the two got out and were instantly stunned—before them stood MixC, the most upscale commercial street in Shenzhen.

This is not a place they can just wander around in.

The two immediately had second thoughts; every single shop here looked ridiculously expensive.

They didn't even have the courage to go inside, let alone go shopping.

The three of them walked slowly along the mall's corridor. Ming Nianxi subconsciously stood in the middle, while Lu Boyi naturally walked to her right and gently put his arm around her shoulder.

After browsing through several shops, Ming Nianxi only glanced at each one briefly before pulling Lu Boyi along. Lu Boyi finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't you like any of these shops?"

His cousin and his mother often come to these stores to buy clothes.

He wondered to himself, "Are the clothes in these stores not nice?"

Ming Nianxi turned her head and glanced at the luxuriously decorated shop beside her. Her lips twitched, and her tone was tinged with helplessness and embarrassment: "Do I look like someone who can afford to buy things here?"

Lu Boyi then realized that she thought it was too expensive and didn't want him to spend the money.

He couldn't help but smile, gently took her hand, and led her to one of the stores: "Silly girl, you're my girlfriend now. How could I let you pay for everything when we're shopping together? Don't worry, I'll buy it. You just pick what you like."

Ming Nianxi quickly stepped back, trying to pull her hand away forcefully, her voice panicked: "No, no, I won't go in, and I don't want you to buy me anything, it's too expensive."

But how could her strength compare to Lu Boyi's?

Lu Boyi gently pulled her into the store. Although Ming Nianxi was unwilling, she had no choice but to follow him inside.

Lu Boyi hadn't been to such a high-end clothing store for more than two years, since he hadn't been back to China for over two years.

In the past, I would occasionally come with my mother, but most of the time, my father would accompany her. He would only come when they were both busy.

They only bring him along if they need to buy clothes for their family members; otherwise, he wouldn't get a chance to come.

Thinking of this, he looked down at Ming Nianxi, who looked flustered beside him, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Finally, he had someone to go shopping with and pick out clothes with.

In July, the weather in Shenzhen was so hot that it was hard to breathe. As soon as the two entered the store, they felt a cool breeze from the air conditioner.

The four shop assistants looked up at them, their eyes scrutinizing them, but none of them took the initiative to serve them.

Ming Nianxi and Xie Shuyao instantly became a little embarrassed, unsure of what to do with their hands.

This is the awkwardness of trying to shop at high-end stores when you don't have the purchasing power; you feel insecure.

I felt especially uncomfortable when the shop assistants looked me up and down with that scrutinizing gaze.

These high-end stores can only receive a few groups of customers a day. The staff take turns serving customers, and most of the time it depends on luck, except for regular customers who have made appointments in advance.

Sometimes, when it's my turn to greet people, they're just people who've been wandering around.

When it was my colleague's turn to serve the customer, it turned out to be a customer who genuinely wanted to buy something.

Over time, the staff learned to tailor their service to different customers, and even developed a dislike for those who were just browsing.

People who don't buy anything come to the store, wasting their time and energy.

However, no matter how unwilling they were, when it was their turn to serve a shop assistant, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

A girl with short hair, wearing a uniform, walked over, her tone flat, even somewhat perfunctory: "Hello, what do you need?"

Lu Boyi keenly sensed the reluctance in her tone, his brows furrowed slightly, and his voice turned colder: "If you don't want to serve her, you can have your store manager come."

Upon hearing this, the short-haired girl immediately became displeased, her face darkening as she muttered to herself: "Who does he think he is, daring to demand that the store manager serve him?"

However, due to the store's rules, she didn't dare to make a scene and could only suppress her dissatisfaction, standing still.

"Sir, you've misunderstood. There's nothing wrong with it. You can look at whatever you like. I'll get it for you later."

Lu Boyi looked at Ming Nianxi: "Xixi, is there anything you like?"

Ming Nianxi saw Lu Boyi shake his head: "I really don't like the food here?"

At this point, the salesperson asked, "Don't you like it? Or can't you afford it?"

Ming Nianxi laughed: "You're absolutely right, I really can't afford it. I wonder if you could afford one?"

The shop assistant was originally quite arrogant, but Ming Nianxi's retort made him look bad.

I don't even know what to say anymore?

Indeed, what's in the store?

They can't afford it either?

Ming Nianxi continued, "Why aren't you saying anything? Can't afford it? I thought you had a high salary. Turns out you can't afford it either, just like me!"

At this point, the shop assistant said, "If you can't afford it, what are you doing here?"

Ming Nianxi said, "I saw you here and thought it was a good deal, so I came in."

Lu Boyi smiled.

That little mouth of yours is really something.
