Jiang Cheng's breath brushed against Yu Xiaoxiao's smooth neck, causing her thoughts to break as she involuntarily shivered slightly.
Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at the Female Sales Associate nearby who was tidying some clothes and said with a hint of bashfulness, "Don't do this here; wait until we get home."
Looking at Yu Xiaoxiao's slightly reddened earlobes, Jiang Cheng gave her a gentle peck. "Who told you to look so enticing? Sigh, if only this were a Uniqlo."
Yu Xiaoxiao tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, pretending as if nothing had happened, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
"Haven't you seen the news? Changing clothes at Uniqlo is quite... free. Since they don't have dedicated sales associates, I could even go into the fitting room to help you try on clothes myself."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoxiao immediately recalled the video that had caused a sensation across the internet a couple of years ago.
Instantly understanding Jiang Cheng's meaning, she poked his firm abdominal muscles with her slender index finger and whispered with a flirtatious pout, "You rogue! Wasn't playing around in the private dining room last time enough for you?"
As Yu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Jiang Cheng immediately recalled that rather thrilling scene from last time.
Raising an eyebrow with interest, he said, "Now that you mention it, I think that's a place we could try again. Playing 'human pyramid' on a chair is indeed fun and exciting. We haven't had dinner yet; let's finish shopping and go eat together."
"You're so bad, always bullying me," Yu Xiaoxiao said, but her body was honest as she immediately turned around to go change her clothes.
Jiang Cheng pulled Yu Xiaoxiao back and said pointedly, "No need to change. This outfit looks great; we'll need to buy some accessories to match it later anyway."
Soon, Zhao Yi brought the receipt and bank card back to Jiang Cheng. At this moment, Zhao Yi's attitude was several times more respectful than before.
"Mr. Jiang, here is your receipt. The total expenditure is 1.72 million! I've also set up your membership; we will notify you immediately whenever new styles arrive."
Seeing Zhao Yi's waist slightly bowed from start to finish, Jiang Cheng gave a dispassionate grunt of affirmation before taking the bank card and receipt.
While making the payment, Jiang Cheng also used an Intermediate Consumption Card.
"Ding! Intermediate Consumption Card used successfully. Congratulations Host on receiving a 10x cashback. The cashback amount is 17.2 million!"
After leaving an address for them to deliver the clothes to Yu Xiaoxiao's apartment tomorrow, the two of them walked out of the Valentino store.
Now, the two of them began browsing for some jewelry to match the evening gown.
When picking out jewelry, Yu Xiaoxiao did not let Jiang Cheng help her choose.
It was clear she was likely afraid Jiang Cheng would spend a fortune again on some incredibly expensive pieces.
Along the way, she picked out moderately priced jewelry to match the dress herself.
However, after browsing for a while, they didn't see any jewelry suitable for that evening gown.
Mainly, whenever Yu Xiaoxiao felt quite satisfied, Jiang Cheng always felt it was lacking something.
After all, jewelry worth tens of thousands of yuan placed next to this 1.7-million-yuan gown had its luster completely overshadowed; it was entirely overwhelmed by the dress.
It looked a bit petty.
It wasn't until they passed the DE BEERS store that both of them couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
In the glass display case was a very brilliant necklace crafted entirely from platinum and diamonds.
The center of that necklace was even embellished with a pale yellow gemstone.
Beside the necklace lay a matching set consisting of two earrings, a bracelet, and a ring.
Under the glow of the spotlights, this jewelry set sparkled like a quiet sleeping beauty, drawing the gaze of passing pedestrians.
With just one look, Jiang Cheng unhesitatingly pulled Yu Xiaoxiao into the store.
Facing such a piece of jewelry that was like a work of art, Jiang Cheng finally felt it was worthy of the evening gown Yu Xiaoxiao was wearing.
Yu Xiaoxiao was also stunned for two seconds when she first saw this jewelry, and a hint of obsession even faintly flickered in her expression.
Although she concealed it well, Jiang Cheng's sharp eyes still caught the light in her eyes.
It was clear that she also liked this piece of jewelry very much.
As soon as Jiang Cheng and Yu Xiaoxiao walked into the DE BEERS store, someone immediately stepped forward to greet them with a face full of smiles.
Especially since Yu Xiaoxiao was currently wearing such an exquisite evening gown, she looked like a customer with high demand.
De Beers is a multinational corporation in the diamond industry.
This company dominates the entire chain, controlling 40% of the world's diamond mining rights and diamond trade.
Many celebrities have endorsed this brand, the most typical being a certain Fan, as well as the 'chicken-loving' Cai Xukun.
Facing the sales staff's inquiry, Jiang Cheng pointed directly at the necklace displayed at the entrance.
Upon hearing this, the sales associate immediately introduced it to Jiang Cheng: "Hello, sir. This necklace is a style only available offline; it cannot be purchased online or on our official website. It is the Aria High Jewelry Series created by our brand. We are very fortunate to have it on display in our store this time."
"The word 'Aria' in Latin and Italian means an operatic melody and lightness. This jewelry series is named 'Aria, Dance of Light.' As the name suggests, the appearance of this jewelry is like the flying skirt of a dancer, perfectly presenting a vivid and graceful rhythmic state. The diamonds in this central necklace alone weigh 12 carats..."
The Female Sales Associate very patiently introduced the relevant information of the jewelry set before them to Jiang Cheng.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng waved his hand and interrupted, "No need for the introduction. Take it out so we can try it on."
The Female Sales Associate's expression became a bit difficult upon hearing this. "Sir, it's like this. The price of this jewelry set is quite high. The necklace alone costs over two million yuan. Since this jewelry was put on display, our store staff hasn't opened the case even once because this set cannot be purchased individually; it must be bought as a complete set..."
Although the gown Yu Xiaoxiao was wearing looked expensive,
During this period, many customers who had inquired were directly deterred by the price.
Jiang Cheng's tone became a bit impatient. "And so? It can't be opened now?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng's displeasure, the Female Sales Associate immediately explained, "No, sir. May I ask if you are a member of our store?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
The Female Sales Associate immediately said with a strong desire to survive, "It's like this, sir. Please understand, this process wasn't established by me. I actually really want to open it for you to see. This jewelry set has been on display for three days now, and I've received many customers in those three days who had the same doubts as you."
"Because this jewelry set is too valuable, opening it requires permission from our store manager. If you are not a premium member of our store, this set cannot be tried on. However, you are free to try on any other jewelry in the store."
After saying this, the Female Sales Associate herself felt quite helpless.
Ever since this piece of jewelry arrived at their shop for display, she felt she had indirectly offended a portion of her customers.
At this moment, she was also afraid that Jiang Cheng would stop spending in their store because of this matter.
If that happened, the loss wouldn't be Jiang Cheng's, but her commission.
Jiang Cheng immediately understood her meaning.
High-end custom jewelry, like haute couture clothing, is mostly unique. The manufacturing process is complex and cannot be mass-produced...
