I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 69
Since the card was unregistered, it would be safer to spend the money sooner; otherwise, if the card were lost, the money could not be recovered.
This was the reason Wen Yunqing gave, which successfully convinced Wen Yimeng to change their schedule for the latter half of the day into shopping and spending.
There were many luxury stores in Jing City. After purchasing two newly released handbags, they successfully spent over five hundred thousand yuan.
“We probably won’t be able to go back home for this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, so why don’t we buy the gifts in advance and mail them?” Wen Yimeng looked at the calendar. By the time their military training ended, it would already be the end of September, and they would likely have only two days of classes before the National Day holiday.
“Then let’s each choose a gift for Dad,” Wen Yunqing said. “As for Mom, I remember the spring with color jade material should be processed by now. I’ll have Old Gao reserve the bracelet and pendant with the best coloration, and those can be the gifts from both of us. How does that sound?”
Wen Yimeng nodded in agreement. “Yes, the spring with color jade is beautiful. Mom was just mentioning that we gave the jadeite to Dad last time.”
Wen Yunqing was not particularly attentive when selecting a gift for Father Wen. After seeing Wen Yimeng carefully pick out a wallet, she casually chose a sapphire-inlaid tie clip on the side. The price was just over eighty thousand yuan.
Calculating the shipping time to their home, Wen Yunqing entrusted the store assistant to send the package at a fixed time so that it would arrive exactly on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
As for the gift for Mother Wen, Wen Yunqing specifically called Boss Gao, asking him to be sure to select the bracelet and pendant with the best coloration and send a handsome young man, accompanied by a bodyguard, to deliver them in person.
After arranging the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, the time was close to three o’clock, leaving the two of them only a few hours to relax.
Looking at the remaining balance on the card, Wen Yimeng chose a casual clothing store and dragged Wen Yunqing to select clothes needed for autumn.
“Should we choose one color, or different colors in the same style?” After shopping with Wen Yunqing a few times, Wen Yimeng already knew her standard for choosing clothes.
Wen Yunqing didn’t care much about whether the clothing looked good, suited her, or was expensive. She only cared about whether her clothes were similar to her own.
Of course, Wen Yunqing had the capital to be indifferent. After all, her face and figure were perfect; any piece of clothing that fit her size looked good on her. Sometimes, even strange combinations could be worn by her to look quite high-end.
“Mom, the clothes in this store are all nice. We can choose here…” Just as Wen Yimeng was selecting clothes, Yu Man walked in happily, holding her mother’s arm.
Yu Man’s eyesight was fine, and since she had been covertly observing Wen Yunqing for a long time, she recognized Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng standing beside her almost immediately upon entering.
“Student Yu Man, what a coincidence,” Wen Yunqing said, forcing a smile and taking stock of Yu Man’s clothing and the person standing next to her.
Truthfully, Yu Man’s mother gave a good first impression. She looked like an intellectual and graceful beauty, and the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose made her appear more like a high-level scholar.
“Manman, are these your classmates? Why aren’t you greeting them?” Mother Yu asked.
Yu Man forced a reluctant smile. “It’s the two Students Wen. What a coincidence.”
“It is quite a coincidence. Are you here to buy clothes too?” In Wen Yunqing’s view, Yu Man was nothing more than an ignorant and spoiled person. Although she held some malice toward her, she was only capable of petty reporting.
Moreover, the most important point was that Yu Man hadn’t really impacted Wen Yunqing, and indirectly allowed her to enjoy the drama from the sidelines, which made her rather cute compared to those non-human cultivators.
“Students Wen? Are these the people you told me about over the phone?” Mother Yu instantly realized. Seeing her daughter nod in confirmation, the look in her eyes toward the two women changed markedly.
“I am truly sorry. I was busy when this child was in high school and failed to discipline her properly, causing trouble for you two,” Mother Yu apologized sincerely. “I have thoroughly educated her; she won’t cause trouble for you two again.”
Wen Yunqing also put on a standard smile. “Auntie, you are taking this too seriously. Everyone is a classmate; minor scuffles are normal. Auntie, please don’t take it to heart. We are just classmates.” When she said the word “classmates,” Wen Yunqing intentionally raised her volume. She was letting Mother Yu know that Yu Man’s actions were trivial in her eyes, that she wouldn’t hold a grudge, and that while they were classmates, that was the extent of their relationship, instructing Mother Yu not to entertain any further thoughts.
Mother Yu was also experienced in the system, having managed to become the director of studies at a key high school. She clearly understood Wen Yunqing’s intended meaning.
“Student Wen is right. We are all classmates; we should get along well in the future.” Mother Yu did not push for any further relationship with Wen Yunqing. For people like her, simply avoiding bad terms was enough.
Mother Yu’s experience in handling situations was astute. Seeing Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng continue to look for clothes, she led Yu Man through the store quickly and soon left the premises.
“I thought Yu Man would fight you to the end. I didn’t expect her to reconcile like that,” Wen Yimeng commented after seeing Yu Man and Mother Yu’s backs disappear, casually pulling out a pure black shirt.
Wen Yunqing said, “Yu Man is quite lucky. She has a mother who spoils her but hasn’t excessively doted on her.”
Wen Yimeng nodded, then stuffed the black shirt she was holding into Wen Yunqing’s hands. “Try this shirt on.”
“Pure black?” Wen Yunqing asked, tilting her head.
“Yes, pure black.” Wen Yimeng recalled the dress-up video she had watched a few days ago: the girl in the black shirt after the makeover was super cool. She wanted Wen Yunqing to try it, too!
Wen Yunqing took the shirt, went into the fitting room, and emerged less than a minute later. She spread her arms to show herself and asked, “How is it?”
Wen Yimeng put her index finger to her lips, signaling Wen Yunqing not to speak, and then looked at her with shining eyes. She reached up and fastened the top two buttons.
“Not bad. This is interesting now.” The person in the video could only be admired visually, but Wen Yunqing was her girlfriend! How could simply looking be enough?
Wen Yimeng glanced around, beckoned Wen Yunqing to lower her head, and directly adjusted Wen Yunqing’s hairstyle. After finishing the adjustment, she stood on tiptoe and actively kissed her.
Wen Yunqing’s eyes widened in surprise. Considering the circumstances, this must be the first time Wen Yimeng had kissed her in public without any prior action, and on the mouth!
“Charge it!” After the kiss, Wen Yimeng swiftly paid for the purchase, then told Wen Yunqing not to change back. She immediately grabbed the shopping bag and led her to an optician, insisting she wear a pair of non-prescription silver-rimmed glasses.
“Excellent! Absolutely beautiful!” Wen Yimeng was even more satisfied now and could not stop the curve of her smile.
“Beautiful?” Wen Yunqing, wearing glasses, was slightly unaccustomed and couldn’t help pushing the frame up on her nose. “Do I look better with glasses?”
Wen Yimeng nodded wildly. “Beautiful. You look very… alluring like this!”
“Really?” Wen Yunqing lowered her head. “You prefer me like this?”
Wen Yimeng didn’t answer, but her upward-curving smile clearly stated her attitude.
Wen Yunqing silently filed away the black shirt and silver-rimmed glasses in her mind. This was the combination her girlfriend liked. After military training ended, she could consider dressing this way more often to help foster their relationship.
Having gotten a taste of success, Wen Yimeng stopped caring about what she herself wore and directly used Wen Yunqing as a mannequin to try on clothes. She selected two outfits to carry in shopping bags and arranged with the store to ship all the others at an agreed time, which was the day after military training ended, directly to Jing University.
The curfew for the training base was nine o’clock. After Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng finished shopping and ate dinner, it was almost time to return.
Throughout this time, Wen Yunqing continued to wear the black shirt. After wearing the glasses for a while, she slowly got used to having the item on her nose.
“Wow, Wen Yunqing, you look so…” Liang Shiyou, seeing Wen Yunqing in the dorm, reacted even more dramatically than Wen Yimeng, her eyes wide. “You look even more appealing than those deliberately reserved looks online.”
“Really?” Wen Yunqing felt she might be missing some knowledge. “Can you share the link with me?”
“Sure, let me check my browsing history; I’ll send it to you in a bit.” Liang Shiyou picked up her phone and started scrolling. “Right now, you lean more toward handsome, but if you had long hair, you’d be beautifully handsome.”
“Of course, your short hair also has a lot of appeal; I didn’t mean you don’t look good now,” Liang Shiyou quickly sent the link to Wen Yunqing, then whispered while Wen Yimeng was washing up, “Can I take a picture of you?”
“What are you going to do?” Wen Yunqing raised an eyebrow.
Liang Shiyou gathered her courage. “I discovered that the Jing University forum has started a selection for the most beautiful and most handsome person in military training, and I want to post your photo to win some honor for our Law department.”
“I can’t decide this myself. You can ask Wen Yimeng later. If she agrees, then I agree.” Wen Yunqing’s intuition told her that while her girlfriend truly liked her appearance, she probably wouldn’t be willing to share the photo publicly.
Facts proved Wen Yunqing’s intuition correct: Wen Yimeng refused Liang Shiyou’s request for a solo photo without any hesitation. However, hearing that it was to win honor for the Law department, she compromised, agreeing that Liang Shiyou could submit a joint photo of herself and Wen Yunqing.
“Since it’s military training, we should change back into our training uniforms,” Wen Yimeng said to Liang Shiyou with a smile, holding the already changed Wen Yunqing.
Liang Shiyou agreed with some regret, then adjusted her position.
“Turn slightly. I’ll take a profile picture.”
“Also take a candid photo sitting on the bed. You don’t need to look at the camera; just be casual,” Liang Shiyou commanded, taking ten photos of the two in one go before finally managing to calm her emotions.
Although she no longer had the sight of the reserved-looking roommate, the two wearing their military training uniforms still looked incredibly good. If they were wearing actual uniforms, the two would undoubtedly be the beautiful one and the handsome one!
If someone who looked like either Student Wen liked her, she wouldn’t care if they were male or female; she would go for it!
