Chapter 1602

So she was a little annoyed?

Li Ruanyu did indeed knit her delicate brows slightly and said, "Zhao Chi, the relationship between us… isn't it moving a bit fast? We haven't reached that step yet, don't you think? I do have some expectations toward you, but you come right out and give me lingerie as a gift—don't you think that's a little disrespectful? I'm indeed not a young girl at my age, but my conditions aren't bad either—I can afford to be picky. I truly do long for a suitable relationship, but I'm not as casual as you think! Zhao Chi, why would you give me these things? What do you want to do to me? Want me to wear these dirty clothes and show you? Don't even think about it!"

Lingerie?

Holy crap!

Where did that come from?

He hadn't expected Li Ruanyu to really misunderstand.

Zhao Chi hurriedly explained, "Sister, these are fashion items—just take a look and you'll understand."

Zhao Chi quickly handed them over.

Li Ruanyu flung her hand out, knocking both fashion items to the ground: "I won't look! Take these dirty things away, and you get out of here right now!"

Zhao Chi said, "Shangguan Ting misunderstood me before because she's an unreasonable woman. But you're different—at least take a look, won't you? How could I possibly disrespect you? Please trust me—just look at the attributes and you'll understand."

Hearing this, Li Ruanyu did hesitate.

She stared at the two fashion items on the ground, considering whether to pick them up.

Zhao Chi simply picked them up and handed them over.

This time Li Ruanyu didn't refuse, taking them reluctantly.

But her eyes still showed disdain.

However, in just an instant—

Li Ruanyu's eyes went wide!

That stunned expression instantly put Zhao Chi at ease.

It seemed the misunderstanding was cleared up.

This expression on Li Ruanyu was a rare sight—her beautiful eyes kept scanning back and forth over the two fashion items.

Her long lashes kept blinking.

Her hands trembled slightly.

Her fair throat bobbed up and down.

"Zhao Chi… Zhao Chi… what is this?"

"Fashion items."

"But why are these fashion items like this? These attributes aren't right."

"Do you like them?"

"I like them."

"I have some more—I'll give them to you too."

"You have more? How is that possible?"

Li Ruanyu watched with her own eyes as Zhao Chi pulled out another ten sets.

They were the same kind of revealing women's underwear and panties.

But this time, the disdain that had just been in Li Ruanyu's eyes vanished completely—her eyes seemed to fill with stars, sparkling brightly.

"Impossible, it can't be, right? Zhao Chi, where did you get these fashion items? Does Shopkeeper Wanyan have new fashion items? No, even her fashion items aren't this strong—life and stamina can actually increase by 75%? Super-improved fashion items only increase by 10%; even with extremely rare materials, it couldn't exceed 50%. And that's not the only effect—each one also has two different pre-stored effects? Why can the pre-stored amplitude of your two fashion items reach as high as 1500%? It's impossible! I've made this kind of fashion item—even excellent quality couldn't achieve this effect! Where did you get them? Who gave them to you? Can you tell me?"

Oh my god.

Li Ruanyu's mouth never stopped.

She did normally talk quite a bit, but it was basically all nagging and reminders, and since her voice was pleasant, Zhao Chi was quite willing to listen.

But now her tone was urgent, like a machine gun endlessly talking, talking, talking.

It was the first time Zhao Chi had seen her nag on and on without end like this.

Her reaction was a bit too big.

Even bigger than Su Qin's reaction when she first saw this kind of super-powerful fashion item.

Logically speaking, Li Ruanyu was far more experienced than Su Qin—there was no reason for her to be more shocked than Su Qin.

However, Li Ruanyu was, after all, a Master Tailor.

Su Qin knew this fashion item was very strong and very hard to make. But she didn't know exactly how hard.

Li Ruanyu was a Master Tailor—this was her professional field.

So she understood the crafting difficulty of this kind of fashion item better than ordinary people, and understood better that these attributes shouldn't exist in this world.

So her level of shock far exceeded Su Qin's.

Zhao Chi said with difficulty: "I saved someone before… that person gave them to me…"

Even he felt guilty saying this.

Too far-fetched an excuse.

Yet Li Ruanyu believed it.

What else could she do?

If she were to say these fashion items were made by Zhao Chi himself, she'd sooner believe Shangguan Ting was in love with her—it's simply impossible.

She wouldn't think in that direction at all.

"Who was that person? A Mythic-tier master? That can't be, right?"

Zhao Chi could only keep making things up.

It was practically torturing him.

This was improvising on the spot.

"Um… I don't know the other party's identity either, I just felt they were very powerful. They wouldn't let me reveal anything—only seeing that my territory was all women, they gave me these fashion items."

"Is that so?"

Li Ruanyu stared at Zhao Chi in shock.

She looked at the fashion pieces in her hands again, and her brow furrowed even deeper.

That expression looks a bit like Qiyue's at the moment of climax.

The next moment, she pushed all the fashion pieces back to Zhao Chi.

"No, I can't accept these fashion pieces. If the other party finds out you gave them to someone else, you'll be in danger. Take them back quickly, and we'll pretend none of this ever happened."

"Huh?"

This time, it was Zhao Chi who was left dumbfounded.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Anyone capable of making fashion pieces like these must be very powerful.

Although Li Ruanyu didn't know exactly how Zhao Chi had saved the other party, regarding whether or not Zhao Chi should reveal information, once he did, there might be danger.

Zhao Chi said, "It's fine, sis. I don't think he'd care about that."

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "No, no, you need to go back. I do want these fashion pieces, but I can't put you in danger just for my own sake. Go on, don't linger here. Take them all back."

Zhao Chi felt a bit moved.

Li Ruanyu was truly easy to get along with.

All of this was her instinctive reaction, showing she wouldn't sacrifice Zhao Chi for such benefits.

Zhao Chi said, "The other party said I could dispose of them freely — give them away or sell them for money is fine. So just keep them, it's alright."

"Really?"

Li Ruanyu's eyes were clearly delighted, but she was still a little uneasy.

"Of course. You know I'm always very cautious."

"That's true…"

In Li Ruanyu's impression, Zhao Chi was indeed a very low-key and careful person.

In that case…

Li Ruanyu really wanted to reach out and take them back, but felt too embarrassed to do so.

After all, Zhao Chi had kindly given them to her just now, and not only had she knocked the fashion pieces away, she'd even lectured him about it.

Yet now she wanted them terribly.

She was genuinely a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Zhao Chi took the initiative and handed them over.

Li Ruanyu cast him a grateful look, and her good impression of him grew another notch.

"Zhao Chi, I'll accept all these fashion pieces, but I can't take them for free. How about I give you 1,000 gold coins? Does that meet your expectations?"

Zhao Chi had given her eleven sets, which was twenty-two pieces.
