Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 597 - 595: Flaunting Affection?

"But the Boss said—"

"Didn’t he tell me to pick out my own clothes?" Jiayi raised an eyebrow.

"That’s true," Xiaoqin faltered.

"Alright, let’s go then," Jiayi walked towards the elevator.

Xiaoqin had no choice but to follow.

After picking out some clothes and shoes, Xiaoqin called the driver up to carry the things to the car.

Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, finally having completed the task, "Okay, let’s head back."

Xiaoqin hadn’t expected her to finish shopping in less than a day, which was much easier than he had imagined.

After all, the women usually surrounding wealthy men could be quite demanding.

Frankly speaking, Xiaoqin felt a bit sorry for Miss Chu. Most wealthy men’s women would spend money like water, afraid they hadn’t bought enough, their eyes lighting up the moment they entered a store, wishing they could buy the whole place. Miss Chu, however, was quite the opposite, just like shopping for groceries at the market, seemingly indifferent.

Xiaoqin felt a little indignant on behalf of Miss Chu, "Won’t you shop around a bit more, Miss Chu? Perhaps buy something else for the young master? The Boss said that in addition to clothes, if you fancy anything else, you can buy it."

Jiayi shook her head, "Zaizai’s stuff has already been arranged by your Boss, he has everything he needs. I don’t really need to buy anything else."

Although she was the daughter of the Chu Family, she had grown up in humble origins.

As a child, living in a foreign Chinese town with her mom, they survived on her mom’s meager earnings as a dancer, not leading a wealthy life.

Later, when she went to the Chu Family in S Country, Xuan Yu forced her to learn all sorts of highbrow hobbies and hardly gave her living expenses, making it impossible for her to enjoy a life of luxury as a wealthy young lady.

After returning to Yunling City with her mom, their days were much like those of ordinary people, even more tight-fisted due to the need to care for Little Baozi.

Perhaps during that year she spent with him, she did experience a princess’s life, but even then, she couldn’t remember...

So now, Jiayi had a casual attitude toward material possessions and wasn’t used to spending carelessly.

But Xiaoqin was still insistent, "Please browse a bit more, Miss Chu. Just look, people buy a handbag for several hundred thousand, yet the things you’ve bought all afternoon don’t even amount to the price of a single bag. The Boss will definitely kill me if he finds out."

Jiayi was also mildly amused; aren’t men usually afraid of women spending money? Was this man actually afraid she wasn’t spending enough?

It wasn’t that she was reluctant to use his money.

It was more that subconsciously, she didn’t want to owe him too much.

Considering how tightly he already controlled her.

Besides, with the man’s unpredictable temper, everything might be fine now, but what if he turned on her one day and used these luxuries to threaten her?

It was better to be fully prepared.

Xiaoqin blinked and pointed towards a few designer stores on the third floor, suggesting, "Why not check out those stores, Miss Chu, to see if there’s anything suitable?"

Jiayi understood Xiaoqin’s predicament and reluctantly agreed, "Alright then."

The two rode up the escalator and browsed in the high-end stores for a while. Jiayi really didn’t find anything she liked; seeing Xiaoqin urging her to buy something as if she had no choice, she couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Then, an idea struck her, "Xiaoqin, why don’t I buy something for Young Master Huo?"

In this way, not only could Xiaoqin complete her mission, but since it was a purchase for that man, it would not mean owing him anything.

Xiaoqin was delighted and nodded, "That’s great." True to her role as an assistant, she suggested, "The Boss is about to attend the mayor’s inauguration ceremony, so how about Miss Chu buys some clothing accessories for the Boss? Things like ties and belts."

Jiayi nodded and went with Xiaoqin to find a men’s designer store.

Jiayi chose a black and white striped tie—elegant and dignified, suitable for any occasion—along with a belt of the same design.

After Xiaoqin used the Boss’s card to pay, the two of them left the men’s tie shop.

They had only taken a few steps out of the store when several people surged over from the side, cameras and voice recorders in hand, approaching Jiayi.

Xiaoqin, with her rich experience, immediately understood that all these people were journalists.

"Miss Chu, right? I’m from the Fruit Daily. May I interview you for a moment? I see you coming out from the men’s store, was it a purchase for Young Master Huo?"

"Miss Chu was just publicly acknowledged in a relationship with Young Master Huo yesterday, and today you are already showing such public displays of affection. Are you trying to secure Young Master Huo through this and smoothly marry into the Huo Family?"

"Miss Chu, are you currently living with the young master of the Huo Family in Disheng? Master Huo said he would give you and your son an explanation. As your son is claiming his heritage, will Master Huo marry you? Seeing that you are out shopping today without going to work, you must have quit your job at the film crew, right? Miss Chu, are you wholeheartedly preparing to be a wealthy lady?"

"I’m a reporter from Women’s World, Miss Chu. Ever since Master Huo entered the business arena, he’s had girlfriends and fiancées, but only you have given birth to the Huo Family’s offspring and publicly acknowledged your relationship in front of everyone. It seems he really favors you. I believe, Miss Chu, you must have some insights and methods for catching a wealthy husband, could you perhaps teach our magazine’s female readers?"

"Miss Chu, we’ve found you come from a single-parent family, currently living with your mother, and it’s only been four years since you came to Yunling. Your family background seems quite ordinary; it appears you even rented a house in the not-so-great Fuyah Residential Area in the past few years. But now, you are living in Green Island Garden, which Master Huo funded. Given your background, are you with Master Huo for money? Does it weigh on your conscience?"

...

Jiayi felt like she was going to spit out blood from being questioned.

Xiaoqin, guessing that the paparazzi had trailed them and snuck into the mall, immediately stepped forward to protect Jiayi, "Miss Chu will not accept any interviews. Please leave," she said, already dialing the security downstairs.

The paparazzi had finally caught their prey and were not going to let go easily. They still surrounded Jiayi, creating a ruckus.

Before long, they attracted the attention of the neighboring shop assistants and the few customers around, whose eyes and attention were all drawn over, filled with both surprise and envy— 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Was this young woman the leading lady in today’s headline news, the longtime secret lover of the future mayor?

The future mayor himself had openly acknowledged his private feelings for this woman and announced his illegitimate child with her to the media.

Even if the bystanders hadn’t witnessed the scene, just hearing the news reports made them green with envy.

What woman wouldn’t yearn for such devotion?

Meanwhile, in one of the nearby designer boutiques, Su Yan, with a dark expression, surrounded by big and small shopping bags, clearly had just been on a shopping spree.

After returning from the hotel last night, she had been unable to sleep, feeling terrible, and had rushed to Yunling’s largest mall this morning to shop, hoping to relieve her mood.

At that moment, she was trying on a pair of high heels and realized they were half a size too small. She called out, "Miss, these are too small. Bring me half a size larger."

But no one responded.
