To Qi Yanxi, Mu Li was like a younger sister and he couldn’t stand to see her ridiculed .

“Are you going to buy me something?” Mu Li asked timidly .
Qi Yanxi nodded . “Yup . ”
Her heart skipped a beat at that moment .
Mu Li gingerly went to choose clothes . The shop assistant darted her a disdainful look and couldn’t be bothered to offer any help .
Mu Li only knew too well what that kind of look meant .
Flipping over a price tag uneasily, she saw a figure that astonished her .
Any dress here was worth several years of her part-time salary .
Mu Li dropped the price tag with a jolt, as if it had electrocuted her .

The shop assistant only found her reaction too familiar — she had seen plenty of customers like this .
“What’s keeping you?” Not a fan of shopping, Qi Yanxi had been waiting outside . However, after a long while when Mu Li still hadn’t come out, he couldn’t help but walk in .
The shop assistant’s face lit up as soon as she spotted him .
He wore inconspicuous yet expensive pieces from head to toe — even his sneakers were some limited edition pair, not to mention his watch, which was worth a small fortune .
The shop assistant switched to an obsequious manner and greeted him with reverence . “Sir, how may I help you?”
Qi Yanxi gestured at Mu Li . “Put together something for her . ”
“Of course, sir . ” The shop assistant picked two dresses, two pairs of shoes, and a handbag for her that fitted her size and style .
Before Mu Li could try them on, he tossed over his card . “I’ll take them . ”

The shop assistant couldn’t stop grinning . She quickly packed everything up and saw them off .
“We look forward to seeing you again soon . ”
Mu Li was overwhelmed by a feeling of inferiority when she saw the shop assistant’s change in attitude .
Somehow, the shopping bags in her hands seemed to be so heavy .
The joy was gone, replaced by a sense of reality .
The two of them belonged to two completely different social classes, and an insurmountable chasm lay between them .
“Do you want anything else?” Qi Yanxi asked in passing .
They were passing by a wedding gown shop, and seeing the white dresses in the bright display window, Mu Li summoned up her courage and gingerly gestured at a dress inside . “May I have that one?”

Sensitivity was never Qi Yanxi’s strong point . He bought the wedding gown for Mu Li without a second thought .
The one Mu Li chose wasn’t one of those big ball gowns, but a rather simple white dress that could be worn to any banquet .
She held the shopping bag as if she was holding a dream .
Qi Yanxi, I want to be closer to you .
Even if I have to achieve it in such a silly way .
The day the Qi family celebrated Father Qi’s birthday with a banquet, Mu Li hesitated for a long time before she took out the white dress she had been keeping in the deepest corner of her closet . She carefully put it on, then asked her mother to fix her hair before heading to the main hall nervously .
Looking at the striking red-haired teenager in the middle of the crowd, Mu Li cherished every second .
Li Fanxing’s sarcastic voice rang out at that moment, too . “Don’t tell me you think you deserve him?”
Mu Li bit her lip and said nothing .
Li Fanxing’s smile was condescending . “He’s the young master who stands at the top . What about you? Even with your most expensive dress on, you’re still a piece of filthy trash . And trash should know their place . Stop dreaming about Cinderella and the prince!”
Mu Li fled at once at those venomous words .
After having a few drinks with his friends, Qi Yanxi ignored his father’s disapproving look and went to Setting Moon with the others .
While the others were enjoying themselves to the fullest, two of the guys were having a secret discussion . “Let’s give the young master some of that new drug, shall we?”
“Are you sure about this…”
“Of course . Get that girl we saw the last time here! We’ll have a live adult movie right here tonight!”
“Teehee… I like the sound of that…”
