The transaction went through, just like that?
There was no need for a passcode?
As Chu He was trying to work this strange situation out, she saw Gu Jinglian approaching another counter. She looked up. “Manolo Blahnik.” What brand was this? It looked Italian.
Walking in, she saw high heel shoes on the display shelves.
By the time Chu He walked out with Gu Jinglian again, she was wearing an eight-centimeter high heel, struggling to keep her balance. She had never worn high heels before, much less ones that were this high. Not only did it hurt the tip of her toes, it was almost impossible to walk.
Chu He felt pathetic. She could have caught up with Gu Jinglian if not for the heels but now, she was left far behind.
How hateful!
Normally androgynous in her dressing, she was now suddenly made to wear a dress and a pair of high heels. Instantly, she felt a sense of embarrassment, as though a man dressed as a woman.
It was especially awkward.
Gu Jinglian turned around, only to realize that she had fallen far behind. He frowned, looking at the woman with disheveled hair and a crooked dress waddling towards him like a duck.
“…”
It wasn’t easy for Chu He to catch up with him and she said angrily, “Will you walk slower?”
The man frowned again and said icily, “So slow.”
Chu He kicked her high heels off and threw her bags onto the ground in anger. She crossed her arms and said, “Gu Jinglian, what do you want? Are you teasing me? Is it fun to see me dressed in such a weird way? You do as you please and are used to getting your way. I don’t have the patience to entertain you!”
Gu Jinglian was speechless.
When the passers-by saw this scene, they all cast curious looks at the couple. A tall and handsome man and a woman looking rather pathetic in a dress, were standing facing each other.
The two of them stared at each other in a direct confrontation. The atmosphere was tense and seemed as though it would erupt at any moment.
Gu Jinglian sized up Chu He’s ashen face. He narrowed his eyes and frowned coldly. Chu He initially thought that he must be on the verge of losing his temper. However, he suddenly bent over and slowly got down before her on one knee. He picked one of the shoes on the ground with one hand and his other hand extended towards her in an open palm. His cold voice slightly softened.
“Give me your foot.” He looked up at her.
Chu He was slightly taken aback, and asked, “What do you want?”
“Foot.” He repeated, “Give me your foot.”
Gu Jinglian was notoriously impatient and his temper was volatile. To be precise, he was never in a sunny disposition. It was either looming dark clouds or a violent storm.
However, at this moment, he actually patiently repeated his words a second time. In the past, this would never have happened.
Chu He saw how he was holding a shoe and extending the other hand towards her, she began to wonder if he wanted to put her shoes on personally? The high and mighty Master Gu would actually serve someone so patiently?!
Chu He didn’t believe it. Hence, she stuck out a foot skeptically.
She was a tall woman, but her feet were only a mere size 37. He took her foot in his hand and held it like it was nothing. His large palm made her foot appear even tinier. Gu Jinglian lifted her foot and slowly slipped it into the high heel shoe.
When Chu He saw this, she was rather surprised and could not hold herself back. She burst out laughing. All the anger that she had been suppressing in her heart suddenly and completely vanished!
She blurted, “I didn’t think that Gu Jinglian would help someone put on shoes! Haha…”
At once, the man’s expression darkened.
