Audrey was right. The woman looked just like me.
Besides our fashion styles, it was no exaggeration to say that both of us looked exactly the same. I stayed stunned for a moment before noticing the other person in the picture.
It was a man. Even though only his chin showed up in the picture, I could tell that it wasn’t Ashton.
The first thing that came to mind was that I had never taken such an intimate picture with any man in my life. Both of them were standing shoulder to shoulder, with their faces touching. They looked like an affectionate couple no matter what.
Seeing that I wasn’t reacting at all, Emery leaned closer to take a look before saying, “She looks like your long-lost twin sister.”
Without giving it much thought, I replied in shock, “Really? Do I really have a twin sister?”
A look of disdain appeared on the woman’s face as she said, “Can’t you tell that I was just joking?”
Then, she took the picture from my hands and started to study it. “But I’ve got to say, both of you really do look alike. It’s at the point where I can’t even tell that this woman isn’t you. It’s no wonder the kids would go after her like that.”
I shrugged, unsure of how I should reply.
Meanwhile, Audrey had already made her way to the car and was urging us to hurry up. I quickly shoved the picture back into the wallet and put it on the counter before leaving.
With Fuller Corporation as the sponsor, the whole of Wenville seemed like a banquet out of the dreams. The parade of carriages stretched on for miles during the warm-up phase alone. Models with excellent figures stood in the carriages as they displayed the Hanfu they were wearing. Just the sight of them made the audience appreciate the clothing more.
For some reason, Emery had a sudden change in attitude after receiving a call. She immediately dragged me to the biggest Hanfu store in the city.
For someone who would only shop in high-end stores, she didn’t seem to mind the bustling shop at all. In fact, she was completely unaffected by her surroundings. The woman circled the shop and noticed a sign that wrote: “Haute Couture upstairs (minimum spending thirty-six thousand).” At the sight of this, Emery took the wooden stairs and spent around eighty-eight thousand there, making her one of the shop’s VIPs.
It was a lot quieter upstairs. All the Hanfu there were made with first-class materials, so every one of them looked beautiful.
A green gown caught Emery’s attention. She had a softer temperament after putting in on and looked absolutely stunning when she wasn’t speaking.
Having no desires and with life becoming more stable, I started to become lazy. I didn’t feel like moving once I sat down.
“Okay, then. It’s your choice.” Emery didn’t try to force it on me, and she continued admiring the dress she was wearing.
Seeing that we hadn’t paid even after such a long time, the manager of the shop walked over to us and said, “Hello, the shop is offering a forty percent discount if both of you pay together. If you are interested, I can tell the ones working at the counter to register both of you.”
“Forty percent? That’s almost free, then.” Emery instantly turned into a shopaholic. She turned to me and said seriously, “It’s a forty percent discount! This is like picking up money from the streets. I don’t care. You have to get something now. I don’t mind paying it for you.”
No woman could ever escape the clutches of a discount.
I became serious about it now that I was going to buy something.
There were many different kinds of accessories displayed in the cabinets. However, I liked the phoenix coronet in the center the most. It was as though the coronet was enchanted as I couldn’t take my eyes off of it the moment I saw it.
