“Oh, my god! You’re right! Mr. Fuller…”
The person was about to start a scene, but another quickly stopped him by saying, “Shh! Why are you
yelling? They may be rich, but they’re human too! It’s obvious that they’re wearing masks so they can go
on a romantic stroll like any other ordinary couple, so we shouldn’t expose them like this!”
“Yeah, you’re right… Still, we could tail them and see how rich couples spend their evening together,
right?”
Soon, Ashton and I noticed a group of people creeping behind us and snapping pictures silently on their
phones.
“I thought you said they wouldn’t recognize us?”
“My mistake. Just ignore them.”
How could I possibly ignore them when they’re practically taking up half the road?
The next thing I knew, Ashton made a blatant public display of affection by holding my hand in front of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthem.
I was burning bright red as I felt uncomfortable having that many people staring at us during intimate
moments. Besides, it would ruin our relaxing stroll at the night market if we had a huge group of people
following us around the whole time.
As we walked past the Hanfu flagship store, I had a great idea of how we could shake our “tail” and
dragged Ashton inside.
As we made our way to the VIP area upstairs, the group of people barged into the store after us, much to
the surprise of the sales staff. “I’m afraid we can only serve a limited number of customers at a time.
Please queue up in an orderly manner while you shop.”
Delighted by my own genius idea, I smiled gleefully as I continued running up the stairs.
We had just made it to the VIP area when the sales staff got into an argument with the customers
downstairs.
“I’m sorry, but the lounge on the second floor is reserved for VIPs only.”
“How much does it cost for us to become a VIP? We’ll pay!”
“Very well, Sir. To become a VIP, you will have to spend a total of thirty-eight thousand eight hundred and
eighty-eight in a single receipt. Will you be making the payment in cash or by card?”
Naturally, nobody was willing to fork out that much money just to follow us upstairs. Thinking we would
come out of the store eventually anyway, they all left shortly after.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I glanced over the railing and saw that the number of customers in the
store had returned to normal.
“They’re just trying to share our joy. You’re getting a little too worked up about this,” Ashton said after
glancing down the stairs.
He really is dense when it comes to stuff outside of work, huh? Oh, well… I guess he used up his quota
for romantic thoughts at the wedding earlier, so he probably wouldn’t understand the difference between
me not wanting to share our joy and my desire for some time alone.
“Yeah, but I want a peaceful and quiet night for ourselves, one that is free from unwanted attention.” I

apart from Hanfu?”
“Sorry, I’m not sure I follow…” The sales staff frowned as he eyed us both from head to toe. As if he had
suddenly recalled something, the sales staff then offered his assistance by saying, “Oh, we do make
Hanfus worn by servants for our staff members. We also have masks provided by the organizers of the
cultural festival. All you two have to do is log in to your member accounts to claim it. There’s a passage
that leads to the back door from the storage room. I’ll show you where it is in a bit.”
He then led us to the counter downstairs, and I logged in using Emery’s account as I didn’t have one of
my own.
After that, the sales staff retrieved the items from the storage room and showed us where the back door
was before leaving us alone.
The service provided was so excellent that I couldn’t help but exclaim as I put on the outfit, “That sales
staff sure is a smart one! I can’t believe he figured out what I wanted so quickly!”
