If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1672: The Way You Smile, Overwhelmingly Beautiful (4)
"Don’t be afraid, I’ll be here for you." Wen Zhiyuan looked at her.
Shen Di lowered her head and didn’t speak.
"About Ling Feng..." Wen Zhiyuan probed indirectly. He knew that if many things weren’t spoken out loud, they’d easily fester in the heart and, over time, wouldn’t be good for one’s health.
"Nothing much."
"You still don’t see me as a friend. Is Ling Feng your ex-boyfriend?"
"I was blind." Shen Di said blandly, frowning, clearly not wanting to bring it up.
Wen Zhiyuan understood; Ling Feng really was Shen Di’s ex-boyfriend.
He laughed, "A bit blind indeed, but I can cure blindness too. When you look for a boyfriend in the future, let me screen them. If there’s really no one suitable, you can consider me."
"Do you want breakfast?" Shen Di glared at him.
"It’s my birthday today, you’re not allowed to argue with me." Wen Zhiyuan’s expression was gentle, with a trace of playfulness in his voice.
"Alright, alright, it’s your birthday, I won’t argue with you." Shen Di ended up laughing.
She discovered that Wen Zhiyuan had many sides at times. Initially, he was as gentle as jade, then later full of youthful vigor, and today, he was quite fierce with outsiders but also quite cheeky with her.
"Alright, let’s go. I’ve finished eating, I’ll take you shopping for clothes."
Wen Zhiyuan pulled her hand and walked out of the restaurant.
Shen Di was a bit unaccustomed, but Wen Zhiyuan didn’t let go.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Wen Zhiyuan leaned down and fastened her seatbelt.
When he leaned in close, her heart went wild; her body temperature quickly rose, and even her breathing became a bit hurried.
When they arrived at the mall, it was neither too early nor too late; there weren’t many people around.
"Actually, we don’t need to buy anything. I often wear my own clothes on stage." Shen Di said.
"Today is my birthday, listen to me."
"..." Shen Di felt like she was being buried in the hole Wen Zhiyuan dug.
"Don’t guys usually dislike shopping?" Shen Di muttered.
"First, I’m not a guy. Do I look that young to you? Second, whether a man likes shopping depends entirely on who he’s with." Wen Zhiyuan smiled, leading her to the dress section.
"Try this one. I think it’ll suit you." Wen Zhiyuan picked out a beige one-shouldered dress.
The sales assistant also walked over, smiling, "Miss, your boyfriend has a good eye. This dress just arrived yesterday. It’s a designer piece, very exquisite."
The sales assistant saw Wen Zhiyuan holding Shen Di’s hand, mistakenly thinking they were a couple.
Shen Di was about to explain when Wen Zhiyuan placed the dress in her hands, "Go try it, I’ll give you my opinion."
"Ah, isn’t it unnecessary?"
"Didn’t you agree to listen to me? Is my taste really that bad? Don’t like it?"
"No, it’s quite pretty."
"Then go try it on."
Shen Di, with no other choice, went to the fitting room to try on the dress.
The dress was indeed quite pretty, but she wasn’t used to the color.
Coming out, she shook her head, "The color is too soft, it doesn’t suit me."
"Do you think you’re that old?" Wen Zhiyuan retorted, "Aren’t you still a young girl?"
The sales assistant chuckled, "Yes, Miss, you look stunning in this dress. It really complements your skin. You look about twenty-one or twenty-two, right?"
Wen Zhiyuan teased, "No, she’s only seventeen or eighteen."
Shen Di rolled her eyes at Wen Zhiyuan and pouted, "Let’s try another one then."
"Then how about this one? I just noticed it, the design is quite unique." Wen Zhiyuan picked out a sea blue cocktail dress for her.
This color was one Shen Di liked, so she reached out to take it and headed back into the fitting room.
Wen Zhiyuan watched her, unable to take his eyes off for a moment.
"Sir, your girlfriend is very beautiful," the sales assistant said with a smile.
"Mm, not only beautiful but also very talented."
"And a great personality too, very gentle," the sales assistant laughed, "You two stand together perfectly as a talented couple."
"I think so too, a match made in heaven."
Shen Di really liked this sea blue dress. The color was modest, neither too youthful nor too mature.
The dress’s waist design perfectly accentuated Shen Di’s curvaceous figure, as if it were custom-made.
Wen Zhiyuan squinted his eyes; she looked beautiful in the dress.
"Alright, let’s go with this one." Shen Di said.
"No, try a few more." Wen Zhiyuan didn’t want to leave so soon.
Shen Di, with no choice but to comply, tried on several more dresses, in various colors and styles.
But in the end, they still chose the sea blue dress. As long as Shen Di liked it.
"Sir, this dress is 18,800 yuan, but there’s a 10% discount today for the event. Will you be paying by card?" the sales assistant asked.
Shen Di quickly took out her own card, "I’ll pay."
Wen Zhiyuan blocked her, frowning, "I brought you here to buy clothes, and you still have to pay?"
"No, it’s not like we..."
"Alright, take the card," Wen Zhiyuan said to the sales assistant.
"Okay, I’ll get your receipt."
Shen Di wanted to stop Wen Zhiyuan, they had no relationship at all, and this dress was too expensive. She couldn’t accept such an expensive gift from him.
"Wen Doctor, I’ll transfer the money to you when we get back, give me your account number." Shen Di looked at him.
"It’s a gift from me to you."
"We have no relationship; you don’t have to give me gifts."
"I want to give it, can’t you just accept it?"
"But I don’t want to accept something from someone just like that, I can buy it myself, don’t you get it?" Shen Di was a bit angry.
From a young age, Zhou Ran always told her that as a girl, she shouldn’t casually accept gifts from others, especially not from boys.
When you accept something, you have to give something in return. No one does anything nice without a reason in this world.
"If you don’t want to accept it, consider it as part of my salary," Wen Zhiyuan frowned.
"No way!" Shen Di refused.
"Why are you so stubborn, young lady? Does this mean I can’t give you gifts in the future?"
"We have no relationship, of course I wouldn’t accept gifts from a stranger!" Shen Di looked at him stubbornly, unwilling to back down.
She stood firm on her principles.
"Then just be my girlfriend already!" Wen Zhiyuan shouted.
Did he, Wen Zhiyuan, look like someone who randomly gave out gifts? Unbelievable...
Shen Di was stunned, her eyes flashing with surprise and complexity.
"Alright, sir and miss, here’s your dress." The sales assistant cheerfully handed over the shopping bag.
Wen Zhiyuan took it and tugged at Shen Di, "Let’s go pick out a necklace. That one on your neck is too ugly, I really don’t know what you’re seeing."
Shen Di frowned, "What’s wrong with it, it’s a limited edition."
"So what if it’s a limited edition? Is your taste as bad as Gu Luoluo’s? The things she likes can just go straight to the trash heap." Wen Zhiyuan was quite dissatisfied.
Shen Di understood Wen Zhiyuan’s meaning, her right hand reached up to touch the necklace on her neck.
The necklace was something she saw while shopping and thought looked nice at the time. Now, hearing Wen Zhiyuan say that, she reached out and yanked it off.
"Then just throw it away." She said blandly.
