Chapter 161: I'm Going to Buy Her the Very Best

"Yes, exactly. I also feel that the upper part is way too tight."

Upon hearing Su Zheng's words, Luo Qi had a sudden moment of realization and nodded repeatedly in quick agreement.

Midway through her sentence, however, she remembered that the remark had come from Su Zheng and not the nearby sales associate. She immediately pressed her lips together, forcing her excited expression back down and hastily restoring her cold demeanor.

Hearing this, Chen Muxue cast a slightly surprised glance at Su Zheng. She turned back to examine herself in the mirror, noticing that the upper portion did indeed look somewhat unnatural. Looking back at Su Zheng, she couldn't help but ask, "Then what kind of figure do I have? What type of clothes should I be choosing?"

Whenever she and Luo Qi went shopping in the past, they would simply try on whatever looked pretty and buy whatever fit; they had no concept of matching their body shape to specific clothing cuts.

Hearing her question, Luo Qi also cast a curious look toward Su Zheng.

"Your waist-to-hip line is flawless, with a waist-to-hip ratio close to 0.7. You have an hourglass figure, also known as an X-shape or S-shape. It is the ultimate female physique, and the most attractive one to men."

Su Zheng scanned Chen Muxue's body as he spoke, showering her with unsparing praise until Chen Muxue herself began to blush.

After all, for any woman, there is nothing quite as hard to resist as genuine praise, especially when it is delivered with such sophisticated and professional insight.

With Su Zheng growing increasingly adept at his ancestral heritage, the intricacies of human anatomy had long since been etched into his mind.

Luo Qi listened in a daze, desperately wanting to ask Su Zheng what kind of figure she had. Yet, remembering her earlier mockery of him, she could never quite bring herself to ask.

The sales assistant nearby also found her eyes lighting up at Su Zheng's critique, and she looked at him with a hint of surprise.

"However..."

Su Zheng paused slightly, his gaze focusing once more on Chen Muxue's upper body.

Hearing this, Chen Muxue froze, a flash of panic crossing her features. She lowered her head and glanced up and down her own body, asking rather nervously, "However what?!"

"However, your... your breasts are slightly on the larger side..."

Su Zheng said with a trace of awkwardness.

Chen Muxue's figure was indeed exceptionally perfect, but from a purely scientific standpoint, her bust was indeed a bit on the large side. From a male perspective, however, her bust was... simply just right.

Hearing these words, a rosy flush instantly bloomed across Chen Muxue's cheeks. She gave a soft, muted huff and tightly clenched her fair, delicate hands.

Luo Qi rolled her eyes at Su Zheng and muttered under her breath, "Pervert!"

"A figure like yours is best suited for nipped-in, hip-hugging fishtail skirts. They accentuate your silhouette, giving it more dimension while elevating your overall aura to the next level."

Su Zheng continued addressing Chen Muxue, then swept his gaze across the evening gowns hanging throughout the shop, offering a calm and objective suggestion: "The styles of the gowns in this shop are fairly decent, and the fabrics are passable. But the tailoring techniques and accessories are slightly lacking. I believe you should head over to Céleste & Co. down the street. You'll find it much easier to pick out clothes that suit you there. Their tailors are internationally certified, well-known designers, and their stretch silk satin is world-class."

Hearing Su Zheng display such deep familiarity even with Céleste & Co., both Luo Qi and Chen Muxue were startled, casting unexpectedly amazed glances in his direction.

After receiving Chen Muxue's phone call, Su Zheng had simply taken a moment to familiarize himself with the styles of the clothing boutiques on this street. Since they were here to buy clothes and money was no object, naturally he wanted to buy the absolute best for Chen Muxue.

Upon hearing Su Zheng's recommendation, Luo Qi's expression instantly turned frosty. She eyed him sidelong and let out a cold, sarcastic snort.

"Nonsense! Of course we know the clothes at Céleste & Co. are good, but do you have any idea how expensive the clothes in there are? You make it sound so easy—are you planning to pay for Muxue's clothes yourself?"

"Of course I'm buying them for her."

Su Zheng replied with a serene smile, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Hearing this, Luo Qi stared for a moment before bursting into giggles, laughing so hard tears welled up in her eyes. Clutching her stomach, she pointed at Su Zheng, gasping for breath as she spoke.

"Fine! Wonderful! Let's see how you plan on buying things for Muxue. Come on, let's go right now, right now..."

"Su Zheng, have you lost your mind?!"

Chen Muxue rebuked him with a darkened expression, speaking in an urgent whisper:

"Do you know that Céleste & Co. is the most high-end women's clothing store in Qingyang? Do you know that a single piece of clothing in there costs almost as much as a detached house? There is no need for me to buy clothes that expensive!"

She didn't want Su Zheng spending so much money on clothes, feeling deeply that it was a waste.

"As long as you like it, I'll buy it for you, even if it bankrupts me."

Su Zheng smiled, winking at her as he continued, "Don't worry, I still have enough money for a dress."

Luo Qi kept right on giggling nearby. She didn't believe for a second that Su Zheng had that kind of money; she simply assumed he was too proud to lose face in front of her and was deliberately putting on a false front of wealth.

Refusing to let him off the hook, she chimed in directly:

"Since Boss Su is feeling unusually generous today, let's not waste any time. Let's go, Muxue!"

Without waiting for an answer, she pulled Chen Muxue into the fitting room to change back into her regular clothes, looped her arm through Chen Muxue's, and marched straight out the door toward Céleste & Co. at the end of the street.

"Qiqi, what are you doing?"

Chen Muxue murmured to Luo Qi with a trace of distress, "You know I don't need to buy clothes that nice."

"Who told him to talk big? A man who has no money, no capability, but loves to brag just needs to be taught a proper lesson!"

Luo Qi huffed, then reached out to give Chen Muxue's arm a gentle pinch as she complained, "You silly girl, how long has it been since you last kept in touch? Have you really let this good-for-nothing hook your soul away? I admit he's quite handsome, but can good looks buy you meals?!"

Luo Qi gritted her teeth in frustration, feeling a mix of exasperation and disappointment, convinced that Chen Muxue had been captivated by Su Zheng's looks and was therefore shielding him.

Chen Muxue pressed her lips together, desperately wanting to tell Luo Qi that while she used to believe Su Zheng had no abilities, saying so now would probably be completely inaccurate...

Su Zheng followed unhurriedly behind the two women, soon arriving at the most high-end storefront on the street: Céleste & Co.

As the most luxurious women's boutique in Qingyang, the interior and exterior design of Céleste & Co. could only be described as lavish.

The exterior facade featured a folding-screen architectural design constructed from over two thousand handcrafted glazed ceramic tiles. Inside, massive crystal chandeliers and mirrored walls illuminated the grand hall with a brilliant, dazzling radiance.

Several towering glass display cases in the center of the hall showcased vibrant, breathtaking long dresses and evening gowns, capturing Chen Muxue and Luo Qi's gaze in an instant. Their hearts skipped a beat in wonder—they were too gorgeous! These clothes were simply too breathtaking!

Even the lifeless mannequins seemed to spring to life because of the garments draped over them!

"Good day, ladies!"

A female sales associate dressed in a black uniform greeted them with a gentle smile and a slight bow, "Welcome to Céleste & Co.!"
