Chapter 1081: Chapter 1082: Easy to Transition from Simplicity to Luxury

The two chatted for a while, and then Feng Kexin pulled Qi Lanqin out of the villa and went straight to the main villa.

Song Xiaodong was in the living room chatting with Su Yuya and Miao Qingqing. When they saw the two enter, he stopped and asked, “You two have something to say?”

Feng Kexin said, “Brother, I’m taking Lanqin shopping.”

“Okay, go ahead, I’ll have Dragon Seven follow you,” Song Xiaodong said.

Dragon Seven had always been protecting Feng Kexin, so he was familiar with her, and he was quite powerful, so Song Xiaodong was at ease having Dragon Seven accompany them.

Feng Kexin nodded and said, “Let’s also find a couple of people to carry the bags; we’re planning to buy a lot.”

Song Xiaodong laughed, “You can just have the butler arrange that for you.”

“Okay then.” Feng Kexin agreed cheerfully and pulled Qi Lanqin to leave again.

Before long, everyone was ready. Dragon Seven was responsible for driving, along with two girls in their twenties. They were maids from the Su Family. Although they weren’t exceptionally beautiful, they were nimble and diligent.

This kind of setup was already familiar to Feng Kexin and the others, but for Qi Lanqin, it was over the top. Just for shopping, there was a bodyguard and attendants, which made her feel a bit restrained.

Feng Kexin noticed Qi Lanqin’s discomfort but didn’t point it out, chatting with her casually. After more than half an hour, they arrived at a mall.

Most of the items in this mall had foreign labels. Qi Lanqin recognized the words but didn’t know what brands they were. She knew that those foreign luxury brands had nothing to do with her, so she never researched them, not even when her roommates discussed them, she wouldn’t listen.

But she understood that a mall this luxuriously decorated wouldn’t have inexpensive items inside.

She had already decided in her mind that she would accompany Feng Kexin as she shopped, but wouldn’t buy a single item for herself.

“Come on, try this one.” The two entered a ladies’ clothing store, and Feng Kexin directly picked an outfit for Qi Lanqin to try.

Qi Lanqin hurriedly said, “I won’t try it. If you like it, you should try it.”

Feng Kexin pulled Qi Lanqin’s arm and led her towards the fitting rooms, saying, “I brought you here to buy you clothes. If you don’t buy anything, what would it look like?”

Qi Lanqin quickly said, “But it’s too expensive. Let’s buy something cheaper instead.” She had secretly glanced at the price tag; this simple dress cost over eleven thousand.

Yesterday at the bar, a woman claimed her dress was worth eight thousand, and Qi Lanqin thought she was lying; no dress could be worth that much. But now she truly believed it; dresses really could be this expensive. In this store alone, most items were priced at five thousand at the least.

Feng Kexin chuckled softly and whispered in Qi Lanqin’s ear, “Feel free to pick and choose. This mall belongs to my brother; once you’ve picked something, we can just swipe an internal card without paying.”

“Well…that’s not quite right…” Qi Lanqin shook her head.

“Come on…no matter what, you can’t let our brother lose face when you go out. Consider this as dressing up nicely to support him; now go change.”

Forcibly pushing Qi Lanqin into the dressing room, Feng Kexin shook her head. Qi Lanqin, this girl, was indeed quite stubborn.

However, upon thinking it over, Feng Kexin had quite an admiration for Qi Lanqin. Not every woman could resist the temptation of money and status, especially with someone like Song Xiaodong, who was particularly tempting for women. Not to mention his own abilities, even the Su Family mansion was enough to make many women tempted.

Qi Lanqin stood out with her unique princess-like qualities, truly worthy of being from Dragon Gate.

Under Feng Kexin’s relentless urging, Qi Lanqin reluctantly tried on several outfits. Feng Kexin also picked out some clothes that seemed appropriate and were the same size as Qi Lanqin, and packed them up directly.

“Let’s go, let’s change places, but first, let’s get something to drink.”

The two found a cold drinks shop, a place girls love. Despite now living a luxurious life, Feng Kexin wasn’t actually extravagant and preferred these spots popular with ordinary girls.

Feng Kexin ordered two Häagen-Dazs, and if it had been before, Qi Lanqin would have thought spending dozens on a cup of ice cream was way too much. But after such spending, she suddenly found it acceptable.

People are like this; it’s easy to go from humble to lavish, but hard to go from lavish to humble.

Dragon Seven and the two maids ate at a nearby table to avoid disturbing Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin.

As the two were eating, a young man and woman walked over; the girl immediately said to Qi Lanqin, “Oh, isn’t this Qi Lanqin? Look at that, eating Häagen-Dazs now, when did you become so extravagant?”

And the young man, seeing Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin, brightened his gaze and adopted a refined posture, saying, “Lin Yue, who is this?”

Lin Yue curled her lips and said, “This is my classmate named Qi Lanqin. She’s always been quite full of herself where we are, with the school always using her as a model of simplicity and frugality, telling us to learn from her. It’s just because her family’s financial situation wasn’t great. Look at her now; conditions must have improved since she’s eating Häagen-Dazs.”

Feng Kexin furrowed her brow upon hearing Lin Yue’s words, irritated by the woman’s sharp tongue and wanting to say something back.

Qi Lanqin quietly pulled Feng Kexin’s hand and gently said, “Lin Yue, a friend is treating me.”

“Oh…got yourself a wealthy friend. But aren’t you attending college in Pingqing? What brings you to Minghe?”

Qi Lanqin said, “My friend is in Minghe, so I came to visit. Lin Yue, how are you doing?”

Lin Yue grinned smugly, saying, “I’m doing great. Unlike you, my family’s conditions are good, and my boyfriend’s family’s conditions are also good. I’m already set up with a job before graduation, to work at Minghe City’s court.”

“That’s really impressive.” Qi Lanqin wasn’t bothered at all by Lin Yue’s arrogance.

Lin Yue seemed used to speaking this way with Qi Lanqin, saying, “By the way, Qi Lanqin, a few classmates from Pingqing who came to Minghe are meeting tomorrow; would you like to join? Oh, there’s also Chu Lian, who you were close with.”

“Chu Lian is here too? I haven’t been in touch with her for a long time. Sure, I’ll go see her.”

“Great! Take my number; I’ll call you tomorrow. By the way, we’re splitting costs for our outing, two hundred per person. You wouldn’t mind, would you?”
