Chapter 27: Buying Clothes
Bai Yiran looked at the time—it was almost the time she had agreed to meet Leng Yichen. Wang Hai had already parked the car at the door, and Bai Yiran wondered whether she should tidy up a bit. But looking at the clothes she had brought, there really wasn’t anything presentable, they were all pretty much the same as the one she was wearing. Feeling a bit discouraged, she simply put on a trench coat, grabbed her bag, and went out.
Wang Hai parked the car at the entrance of Huamei International, and Leng Yichen asked Bai Yiran to wait for him downstairs. Bai Yiran had passed by Huamei International countless times on the bus, but it was the first time she sat in a car parked at its entrance. Through the car window, Bai Yiran looked up at the magnificent building; it all belonged to Leng Yichen. It was at this moment that Bai Yiran truly realized the gap between herself and Leng Yichen—him standing above and her below, with the towering building as the space that separated them.
So, she was determined to go out and work, to shorten this distance.
Not long after, Leng Yichen came downstairs. Although Bai Yiran was outside, she could clearly see that wherever Leng Yichen went inside, people would bow and greet him. And Leng Yichen, like a king, showed no regard to those tiny people.
Maybe she herself was no better than those small figures, Bai Yiran categorized herself this way. But still, she couldn’t understand why the king would marry someone like her who offered him no help at all. Was it really just because of that one night?
Leng Yichen got into the car, and the aura of a king had not yet fully dissipated, making Bai Yiran feel a bit uneasy sitting next to him.
"What’s wrong?" Leng Yichen noticed something was off with Bai Yiran.
"Hehe, you looked so cool when you walked out just now." Bai Yiran felt as if she must have looked like an infatuated fan when she said it.
Clearly, Leng Yichen appreciated the comment, he playfully tapped Bai Yiran’s nose, and then said to Wang Hai, "To Huamao Building."
