'What should I do?' Seeing Li Muhan's determined look, Su Yang turned to look at the row of clothes.
These clothes were mostly ready-to-wear jackets and T-shirts, just Chanel's everyday retail items.
They weren't from the artisan workshops or haute couture collections; they were already the most affordable and cheapest items in the store.
He thought for a moment and continued, "Muhan, listen to me. These clothes really aren't that much. You girls change your outfits often, and you need some pretty, delicate clothes. We'll buy these and you can wear them gradually. That's it, don't say another word."
Before Li Muhan could speak, Su Yang turned, walked over to the saleswoman, and whispered, "Hey beautiful, if my friend asks later, just tell her that once they're taken off the rack, they can't be returned."
"Ah? Oh, okay."
"Yeah, please hurry up a bit. Also, can you help us mail these clothes later? There are too many to carry."
"Of course," the saleswoman smiled.
"That works. By the way, does your store have haute couture and artisan workshop collections?"
"We do, but those two collections are limited to purchase. Haute couture requires custom tailoring, so you probably wouldn't be able to get them in a short time."
Su Yang nodded. "Oh, okay. I was just asking. Help me pack all these clothes up first."
"Right away!" The saleswoman couldn't be happier right now. Looking at Su Yang's demeanor, he was definitely going to pay.
If this deal went through, she couldn't even imagine how much commission she would make this month.
On the side, Li Muhan was full of anxiety, her brows furrowed tightly.
She never expected Su Yang to be so lavish, buying a whole rack in one go.
If she had known, she would have just picked a random piece earlier, but it was too late for regrets now.
The saleswoman had taken down almost all the clothes.
Her mind was a bit dazed; she never thought that one day such a luxurious shopping experience would fall into her lap.
Soon, the saleswoman put the pile of clothes into a shopping cart and dragged it toward the checkout counter to pack them.
Only then did Su Yang turn around and smile at Li Muhan. "Muhan, why are you still frowning? Stop overthinking it. Let's go."
"Brother Su Yang... I, the price of these clothes is really too expensive for me, I..."
"Oh, stop stressing over it. It's just a few pieces of clothing. Clothes are just meant to be worn, don't take it so seriously. It's just a few pieces of fabric."
"Besides, I'm happy spending this money to buy things for you, so please don't decline anymore."
Su Yang said, looking at Li Muhan's furrowed brows, and added, "If there are any you don't like later, you can sell them online. Anyway, the clothes belong to you. Except for not being able to return them, you can do whatever you want with them."
Seeing that it was a done deal, Li Muhan could only nod helplessly. "Alright..."
She wasn't a particularly eloquent person, so she firmly kept every bit of Su Yang's kindness in her heart, hoping to repay him one day when she had the ability.
Su Yang didn't think too much about it. He suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Muhan. "By the way, Muhan, I have something else I want to talk to you about."
"What is it?" Li Muhan looked up and asked.
"I'll just be direct. Is the house you're living in right now rented or...?"
"Rented."
"How long have you lived there?"
"Over three years."
"That long?" Su Yang said as he walked over to a nearby chair and sat down.
"Yeah, it's cheap there. It only costs 200 a month."
"That is pretty cheap, but the environment there really isn't great. I have an idea, want to hear it?"
"Tell me, Brother Su Yang."
"Here's what I'm thinking. Xiao Wan's health is back to normal now, and she'll need to go to school soon. Where you live now is, first, too remote; second, the environment isn't good; and third, there aren't any schools nearby, and transportation is inconvenient. How about this: I'll help you rent an apartment in the city center..."
Just as Su Yang got to this point, Li Muhan instinctively interrupted him in a hurry. "No, Brother Su Yang, we can't trouble you anymore!"
Su Yang waved his hand. "Oh, what's trouble or not trouble? Actually, it's just a matter of convenience for me. Although we say we're good friends, I actually see you more as my younger sisters. What's wrong with helping my own sisters?"
Hearing this, Li Muhan was momentarily left speechless.
However, for some reason, her heart suddenly felt a little heavy. Su Yang only saw her as a sister.
But on second thought, she felt relieved. She still had some feelings of inferiority deep down, feeling that she wasn't good enough for Su Yang at all.
It was already great that Su Yang could treat them as sisters; she didn't dare to have any other thoughts.
Seeing Li Muhan's silence, Su Yang continued, "So, I'm planning to help you find a new apartment... Wait a minute."
"Wh... what's wrong, Brother Su Yang?"
Su Yang's eyes darted around as he asked, "Pardon me for asking, but do you two sisters have any other relatives?"
Li Muhan didn't mind. She shook her head. "No."
After confirming that the two sisters had no other relatives, Su Yang thought to himself: 'If that's the case, why don't I just take them to Haicheng? After all, that's my home turf.'
'It'll be easier to help them out with things there.' Thinking of this, he looked at Li Muhan. "Muhan, if I asked you guys to move to a different city, would you be willing?"
Before Li Muhan could speak, Xiao Wan, who had been quiet on the side, raised her little hand. "I'm willing!"
Xiao Wan was very smart; she roughly understood what Su Yang meant.
Li Muhan thought for a moment and then said, "Where we live doesn't really make much of a difference to us. As long as Xiao Wan is well, I'll just make money to support her schooling."
Su Yang nodded. "Then how about this, you guys come with me."
"Huh?" Li Muhan was taken aback and said, "Go... go with you?"
"That's right. You have no one to rely on in Lincheng anyway, so you might as well go to Haicheng with me. If anything happens, you can still come to me. Over here, if you run into any difficulties, you don't even have a friend."
Hearing Su Yang say this, Li Muhan suddenly felt an impulse in her heart.
It was exactly as Su Yang said. The two of them had no relatives in Lincheng, let alone any close friends. If they went to Haicheng, they would at least have Su Yang as a friend.
Later, when her circumstances improved a bit, it would also be easier to repay Su Yang for his kindness.
After thinking it through, Li Muhan nodded with a firm gaze. "Okay, Brother Su Yang. We'll listen to you and go to Haicheng!"
"Oh? You agree?" Su Yang hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.
Li Muhan nodded. "Yes. Even though we are from Lincheng, I don't really have any attachments to a place with no family or friends. A new environment might even bring more opportunities."
"Haha, it's good that you can see it that way. Then it's settled."
Xiao Wan was also very happy at this moment, clapping her hands continuously.

—I knew there would be a reward!
Su Yang smiled and led the two girls over to the checkout counter, where several shop assistants were already busy packing up the clothes.
Su Yang stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, miss. Once these clothes are all packed, could you please ship them to Haicheng for me?"
"Ship them to Haicheng?"
"Yes, I'll give you the address."
"Alright."
Su Yang picked up a pen from the counter, jotted down his villa's address on a sticky note, and handed it to the cashier.
"Here you go."
"Okay. Once everything is packed, we expect to send it out for you either this afternoon or tomorrow morning."
"Sounds good. By the way, how much is the total?"
"Please wait a moment, we are still calculating."
"Sure."
Li Muhan and Chen Xiaowan stood quietly behind Su Yang, waiting.
A few minutes later, all the clothes were packed, and the cashier had tallied up the price.
She looked at Su Yang, flashing a bright smile with perfectly white teeth, and said, "Hello sir, you have selected a total of 25 jackets, 10 T-shirts, 5 dresses, and 10 pairs of pants. That is 50 items in total, bringing your final bill to yuan."
...
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
