Qin Lianyi could not help but sigh. "You noticed it? I thought I was covering it up pretty well."
"I could kind of tell that you had something on your mind," said Ling Yiran. Her best friend had sounded a little... too happy on the phone and during video calls in the last two days.
Sometimes, the happier Lianyi seemed, the more she had on her mind.
"What's the matter? What's going on?" Ling Yiran asked with concern.
Qin Lianyi stopped hiding and said, "I met Bai Tingxin."
"You went to see him?" Ling Yiran was surprised. She also knew that Bai Tingxin had come to Shen City two days ago.
"He appeared in front of me. I don't know whether it was a coincidence, so I'm a little confused too."
"Then you..."
"Don't worry. I know that it's impossible between us. I won't let myself get caught up in it," Qin Lianyi said. She got rid of the look of sadness on her face and said, "Oh, didn't you say you're going to a banquet with Yi Jinli in two days and you have no idea what to wear? There's a luxury boutique nearby. Let's go and have a look. Maybe we can find the right gown for you."
They went to the boutique. Ling Yiran took a look. The gowns here were indeed expensive, but since it was the first banquet she would be attending after returning to the Yi family, she had to pay extra attention to her gown.
After all, she was not only representing herself but also the Yi family!
They looked around the gown boutique. They were both dressed in plain clothes without any designer items. When Ling Yiran picked out a silver gown, the sales assistant following them around said, "Sorry ladies, this is a display in our boutique and we don't provide fittings."
"You..." Qin Lianyi wanted to swear.
Ling Yiran calmed her best friend and then said, "Please get your manager over."
"What's the matter? Are you trying to make a complaint?" she asked somewhat disdainfully. She hated people who pretended they were rich when they had no money! She was not afraid of such complaints anyway. She had an important customer like Miss Su. Even the manager had to be polite to her.
All she had to do was to tell the manager that she had to serve Miss Su later. The manager would probably have nothing to say.
It was ten minutes later when the manager walked up to Ling Yiran and Qin Lianyi.
