Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 22
Noticing the sales clerk was busy greeting other customers, Zhao Xinyu didn’t pay much mind and walked to the other side to choose clothes by herself.
Zhao Xinyu liked business attire, simple and generous, which suited her figure. In daily life, Zhao Xinyu preferred to wear more minimalist clothes, such as a suit jacket paired with a long dress; Zhao Xinyu liked that very much.
The dresses in this store really appealed to Zhao Xinyu. She selected a few styles, holding them in her hand, ready to go try them on. Just as she was about to go to the fitting room, Zhao Xinyu noticed a slip dress with a slightly slit hem design.
Zhao Xinyu took the dress out, intending to try it on in the fitting room as well.
At that moment, a voice came from beside her: “Pack that dress for me too!”
Zhao Xinyu didn’t pay attention, but after two steps, she was blocked by the sales clerk.
“Is there a problem?” Zhao Xinyu asked the clerk.
The clerk looked distressed. But for the sake of her job, she still had to retrieve the dress for the lady she was currently serving.
“I’m sorry, Miss. The top dress you are holding has already been claimed by this lady. Could you look at other styles?” Saying this, she gestured to the right with her hand.
Zhao Xinyu didn’t even turn her head and said, “…No. This is the style I saw. Besides, hasn’t she bought it yet? Then I have the right to try it on.”
Hearing this person refuse to give up the dress, Sun Qian immediately felt a surge of anger.
The clerk looked helplessly at the lady on the side, feeling troubled. The lady next to her is right, too. It seems I’m going to lose my job again.
“If there’s nothing else, I’m going to try on clothes!”
“Yes, Miss.”
Hearing the clerk actually compromise and refuse to take the dress for her! She hadn’t spoken up until now because Lin Fanchen had gone to the restroom and hadn’t returned. But now she couldn’t stand it. This person was about to try on the dress. How could she wear it if she bought it afterward?!
Just as the clerk finished speaking, she was pushed aside by a girl. Yes, it was the lady standing next to her, whom she hadn’t bothered to look at directly. It seemed this lady really wanted her to see what she looked like.
“Leave the dress. I claimed this one!”
Pfft, Zhao Xinyu burst out laughing. This person is truly rude. “Oh~ Is that so? What about it?”
“You!” I’ve never met such a brazen and rude Alpha!
“What about me? Could you please move? You’re blocking the way.” Seeing the person about to reach out and grab the clothes with her “you, you,” Zhao Xinyu took a step back.
“What’s going on?” A man’s voice transmitted. Zhao Xinyu clearly identified that the other party was also an Alpha. Based on the supplementary knowledge she searched for, higher-ranking Alphas are more formidable than lower-ranking Alphas and can suppress them.
Zhao Xinyu turned around and looked calmly at the person. Hmm? Why does he look familiar? The memory flashed back. It’s actually Lin Fanchen, her brother’s scumbag friend.
Tsk.
Zhao Xuan: Achoo!
Zhang Yue: Mr. Zhao, are you alright?
Zhao Xuan: I’m fine.
Seeing that Mr. Zhao genuinely didn’t look unwell, Zhang Yue put down her coffee and left the office.
Noticing Lin Fanchen’s return, Sun Qian was very happy. “Fanchen, um~ I liked the dress this lady is holding and asked her to let me have it. Unfortunately, this lady refused to give it to me.”
Hearing that his woman couldn’t get the dress she liked, Lin Fanchen comforted her with some tenderness: “It’s alright, Qianqian. You can look at other styles.”
“But I really like this dress.”
“Is that so?” Seeing Qianqian really liked it, Lin Fanchen looked at the lady in front of him and said, “Hello, Miss. My girlfriend really likes this dress. Could you look at another style and let my girlfriend have this one?”
…Zhao Xinyu frowned. He truly is a scumbag! He didn’t even recognize me as Zhao Xuan’s sister.
Sigh, I really don’t understand how my brother could be friends with someone like this.
He’s too much of a manipulative hypocrite. I can’t even look.
“I’m sorry, no!”
Looking at the very pretty Alpha in front of him, Lin Fanchen’s heart fluttered a little. But it was a shame that such a stunner was also an Alpha. “Alright.”
Looking at Sun Qian, Lin Fanchen comforted her: “Qianqian, if you really like this dress, I’ll find a designer to make a new one for you.”
Hearing Lin Fanchen offer to find a designer to make her clothes, Sun Qian felt very happy. “Mhm, can the designer make a new design for me?”
“Of course, they can!” Lin Fanchen said dotingly.
“Alright then. I’ll let this lady have this dress.”
“Mhm, mhm. Qianqian is a good girl.”
…
Oh, my goodness. It seems I really, really need an assistant! Someone to prop me up in moments like this. This scene is absolutely disgusting!
Zhao Xinyu went to the fitting room and tried on two or three outfits. The results were quite good. She didn’t try on the remaining ones.
Zhao Xinyu took all the clothes she had picked out and asked the clerk to arrange delivery to her home. Then she quickly escaped the shop, not wanting to stay for another moment.
Zhao Xinyu browsed a few more shops on the third floor, buying a few suits and some casual wear.
Afterward, Zhao Xinyu drove to Sun Qianyi’s studio. Sun Qianyi was practicing her dance with great dedication and focus. When she gets home tonight, I need to talk to the housekeeper about ensuring the meals have a good balance of meat and vegetables.
“Did you buy the clothes you liked?” Sun Qianyi asked, sitting on the floor of the studio.
“I bought a few pieces, but I forgot to ask when they’ll be delivered home.”
“Mhm. If they don’t deliver today, they should arrive tomorrow.”
“Mhm. Sister, have you made any progress with the choreography?”
“Mhm… I’ve made progress.” Sun Qianyi felt a little shy being asked this by Little Xin. Little Xin has been a huge help in getting the choreography moving.
“That’s wonderful!” She truly is a dancer. The choreography is coming along in such a short time. Sun Qianyi is amazing!
She suddenly remembered the videos of Sun Qianyi dancing she had downloaded earlier. She hadn’t watched them yet.
Sun Qianyi felt a bit embarrassed by Little Xin’s praise. Many people had complimented her before, but the only praise she remembered was from her teacher. Sun Qianyi couldn’t tell if other people’s compliments were genuine or fake.
A knock came from outside the door, followed by a girl’s voice: “Sister Qianyi, we’re ready.”
“I understand,” Sun Qianyi said, looking toward the door. Then, looking at Little Xin: “I’m going to give some pointers to a few juniors. Do you want to come along?”
“Sure,” Zhao Xinyu said with a smile.
Sun Qianyi stood up and linked arms with Little Xin, heading to the practice room next door. There were three juniors at the studio who also had a performance in a couple of days. These three needed to practice their dance well.
The door to the practice room was open. Zhao Xinyu followed Sun Qianyi right inside. They were indeed three juniors, looking very young and innocent. Cai Luo was also there, looking up at her before continuing to look at the documents in her hand.
Tsk, she probably didn’t expect me to come along? Zhao Xinyu walked over and sat down next to Cai Luo, preparing to be an audience member for the dance.
Cai Luo handed Zhao Xinyu a bottle of mineral water. Zhao Xinyu had ordered delicious food and drinks for the company staff these past two days.
“Thank you,” Zhao Xinyu said, taking the mineral water.
“You’re welcome.”
The music started. Sun Qianyi first watched the three juniors perform their dance. Afterward, she went segment by segment, helping the three juniors refine their dance moves. Zhao Xinyu watched intently and really liked Sun Qianyi’s teaching style.
Sun Qianyi didn’t impose her own ideas as the standard for the dance. Instead, she had the three juniors suggest their own ideas, then demonstrated the moves, choosing the best one to incorporate into the dance.
Sun Qianyi taught the three juniors many times and was still continuing. Zhao Xinyu felt a little stifled and wanted to go outside for some air.
Zhao Xinyu went to the window in the outer corridor. Smelling the fresh air outside, Zhao Xinyu felt much better.
Noticing Little Xin leaving, Sun Qianyi followed the three juniors to finish the last half of the dance and then went out to find Little Xin. She didn’t see the person in her practice room or office. Cai Luo’s office was empty too.
Sun Qianyi suddenly felt anxious and went outside to look for her. Just as she was about to go downstairs, she noticed a figure at the end of the hallway. Sun Qianyi walked toward the figure. As she got closer, it was Little Xin. Sun Qianyi slowed her pace, quietly walked up to her, and hugged Little Xin from behind. “Why did you suddenly come out?”
“It was a little stuffy in the room, so I came out to get some air.” When she sensed someone approaching, Zhao Xinyu was about to turn around to see who it was. As the person came closer, Zhao Xinyu knew it was Sun Qianyi. I remember her scent so clearly.
Sun Qianyi hugged her very tightly. Zhao Xinyu turned around to face her. Sun Qianyi seemed a little upset and looked unwell: “What’s wrong?”
“Um… I suddenly couldn’t find you.” I was really worried when I didn’t see Little Xin in the rooms.
“I won’t run away. Don’t worry.” I made the junior worry. I need to remember to tell her whenever I leave from now on.
“Mhm.” Sun Qianyi wrapped her arms around Little Xin’s neck and hugged her: “Just for a little while.”
“Okay.”
After spending some time with Sun Qianyi in the corridor, they returned. Sun Qianyi didn’t continue practicing her dance after that. Zhao Xinyu drove Sun Qianyi home, allowing her to rest earlier that night.
When they arrived home, her little aunt wasn’t there. Ming Wenxin said Zhao Yanran had gone out for something. Zhao Xinyu nodded at Ming Wenxin: “I understand.”
Zhao Xinyu and Sun Qianyi went back to the room first. Sun Qianyi hadn’t showered at the studio and needed to shower now. Following Sun Qianyi back to the room, Zhao Xinyu placed the laptop on the desk. Sun Qianyi went into the closet, presumably to get clothes to change into.
Waiting for her to emerge from the walk-in closet: “I’ll go downstairs first. You soak in the tub a little longer. You must be very tired after practicing dance all day.”
“Mhm,” Sun Qianyi hummed, walked closer to Little Xin, wrapped her arms around her neck, and kissed her lips. She hadn’t kissed Little Xin all day. Now she finally could.
Oops… The junior’s sudden attack almost made Zhao Xinyu lose her footing. Fortunately, she quickly stabilized herself and hugged Sun Qianyi back, returning the kiss. Zhao Xinyu also really liked kissing Sun Qianyi. The soft, sweet intertwining of their tongues made Zhao Xinyu instinctively hold the junior even tighter.
When the deep kiss ended, the junior wasn’t satisfied. Sun Qianyi looked at her, forehead to forehead, and kissed her again. Her tongue was already a little numb, but the kissing continued.
After satisfying her desire for kissing, the junior rested on her chest for a while before going to shower. She had only taken two steps when she almost fell. Zhao Xinyu carried her to the bathroom before going downstairs.
Watching Little Xin leave, Sun Qianyi felt utterly embarrassed!
