My Groom Ran Away

My Groom Ran Away Chapter 11.3

The cycle for high-end couture fashion was long, but the price was often many times higher than store-ready pieces. Especially for a few sets of extremely expensive jewelry.

After a while, the clerk came back and picked up the previous dress, and enthusiastically looked at Ruan Zhiyin. “Miss Ruan, would you like to try it on first?”

Ruan Zhiyin shook her head. “There’s no need. The size is correct. Please put it together with the other pieces.”

She turned and looked for her wallet. That was when she noticed she had only brought Cheng Yuelin’s card with her. She was embarrassed and hesitated for a second, but she did not want to make a fool of herself, so she still handed the card over.

Luckily, Cheng Yuelin’s card’s limit was high enough.

Anyway, she could always just transfer the money back to him later.

Wang Xiwei was not stupid. She could naturally guess that the amount Ruan Zhiyin had spent was enough to cause the clerk to change her attitude. But she did not know how Ruan Zhiyin had so much money. Maybe it was spent under someone else’s name?

Qin Jue did not like Ruan Zhiyin. The jewelry that he bought for sky-high prices at auction was given to Lin Jingfei, but she had never seen him buy anything at auction for Ruan Zhiyin, let alone letting her spend so extravagantly.

The dress she had just bought was close to seven figures.

Wang Xiwei’s expression was a bit stiff as she whispered to Lin Jingfei, “This elder cousin of yours sure likes to put on airs.”

“It’s fine. There is no need to fight. It’s just a dress.” Lin Jingfei smiled indifferently.

She did not mind as much as Wang Xiwei thought she did. After all, she did not lack dresses. What happened just now was that Wang Xiwei wanted to take the opportunity to make Ruan Zhiyin lose face, so she didn’t stop it, but she also did not participate.

Seeing that Ruan Zhiyin and Ye Yanchu were getting ready to leave, Lin Jingfei took a few steps and called out to Ruan Zhiyin.

She took off her sunglasses and smiled at her. “Elder sister, marriage is not a small matter. Don’t make any impulsive decisions. President Cheng could help you once, but he won’t necessarily help you a second time.”

“You and I both understand why Cheng Yuelin married you. Even if he is willing to compromise on the Bei Cheng project, he will not always continue to help you. Like Director Liang’s new movie, didn’t Lin Heng also invest in it?"

Ruan Zhiyin calmly looked at her and immediately understood.

What Lin Jingfei was trying to say was that even if she had changed the groom and become Cheng Yuelin’s wife on paper, it does not mean she can expect Cheng Yuelin to help her deal with Lin Cheng.

Her best choice right now was for her to be obedient and not resist. Lin Jingfei’s words and Lin Cheng’s ‘advice’ were the same. They were really worthy of being father and daughter.

She was about to open her mouth and reply when she saw an unexpected figure walking in her direction. She froze.

The man’s face was clean and bright, and his posture was noble. He wore a lightweight dark trench coat, and he walked closer in an unhurried manner.

Walking up from behind, he had heard Lin Jingfei’s advice. He lightly laughed before he coldly spoke. “Miss Lin is very concerned about my household matters."

Lin Jingfei did not expect that Cheng Yuelin would turn up. Wang Xiwei, who was beside her, also froze.

Cheng Yuelin crossed his arms and stood next to them. His face was relaxed as he looked at Ruan Zhiyin. “Still shopping?”

"You're back?" Ruan Zhiyin looked at him in surprise and then raised an eyebrow. "How did you know I was here?"

"Text notification." He waved his phone.

Ruan Zhiyin nodded silently and then responded, “We’re done now, but I still need to send Ah Chu back."

They were pretty much done at this point and seeing Lin Jingfei had ruined her mood, so she did not want to continue shopping.

Cheng Yuelin did not say anything and calmly made a sound of acknowledgment.

But just as they were about to leave, he raised a brow and looked at the embarrassed Lin Jingfei and leisurely said, “You just said that Liang Xiao chose you for his new movie?”

Lin Jingfei’s reaction was immediate. Her brow furrowed for a moment before she smiled lightly and tried to explain. “President Cheng, you have misunderstood my words from just now.”

"Oh, then what did you mean?"

Lin Jingfei was slightly stunned, but she could not read his expression. She carefully said, “I only felt that marriage should be considered carefully.”

“If you consider it too carefully, you might not get married.” Cheng Yuelin lazily said and then after a pause, he smiled. “But what you said just now was correct. Liang Xiao really has to consider carefully about choosing you."

Lin Jingfei understood the underlying meaning. Even though she did not know the reason, her face quickly changed. Her voice was stiff as she said, “President Cheng, picking an actor is not a child’s play. You would not want to waste your investment, right?”

“Are you trying to reason with me?” Cheng Yuelin laughed in a carefree manner. His demeanor was still leisurely, and his voice was relaxed. “Miss Lin, you seem to not know me very well. I am a person who——”

“Never listen to reason."
