My own clothes are all made by the old man. Other bodyguards wear sharp suits, but when it's my turn, I can only wear mountain clothes. When I was on a mission before, the old man also made me a suit, but that craftsmanship is nowhere near this fine work.

There weren't many guests. As soon as Jiang Yuanyuan arrived, the manager surrounded her and flatteringly asked, "Miss Jiang, are you here to pick out clothes for Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Yuanyuan sneered and said disdainfully, "Would my daddy come here to buy clothes?"

The manager gave an awkward smile. This place indeed doesn't match Jiang Weidong's standards. Jiang Weidong's suits are all custom-made, limited editions from Italy. So he asked, "Then Miss Jiang is here to..."

Jiang Yuanyuan pointed to Luo Chao, who wasn't far behind, and said, "Go pick him some decent clothes. Don't let him embarrass me out there."

The manager saw Luo Chao in his school uniform and glanced ambiguously between Jiang Yuanyuan and Luo Chao. Does this young lady now fancy this type? Not bad, much better than that nouveau riche from before.

He then walked up to Luo Chao and said with a smiling face, "Sir, please follow me."

Luo Chao glanced at the manager, then at Jiang Yuanyuan, who was busy eyeing other clothes. So he walked over to Jiang Yuanyuan and said, "Don't touch anything here. I'll be right out."

Jiang Yuanyuan grumbled irritably, "Do I look like a kid to you? Do I need you to tell me? Go change your clothes!"

Having no other options, Luo Chao followed the manager into the nearest fitting room. He took the clothes handed over by the manager and quickly changed.

After just a blink of ten times, Luo Chao was ready. The manager chose a special design for him — a less formal, casual-style black suit paired with a white shirt. Luo Chao didn't like buttoning up too tightly, leaving two buttons undone at the collar, showing off his charming Adam's apple.

When he walked out of the fitting room, his aura was entirely different, as if he transformed into someone else. Though not the radiantly handsome type, at that moment, Jiang Yuanyuan felt that Luo Chao looked more dignified in a suit than any rich kid she'd ever seen. She stood dazed for a moment.

Luo Chao thought Jiang Yuanyuan was not satisfied and approached her in a few steps, asking, "How is it? Not good?"

Luo Chao's voice jolted Jiang Yuanyuan awake. She hastily turned her face away and pouted, "When have you ever looked good?"

Then she took a card out of her bag and said, "Charge it. The cost of this outfit will be deducted from your salary."

Luo Chao nodded and then asked, "How much is this suit?"

The manager took Jiang Yuanyuan's card and replied with a smile, "The set costs a total of thirteen thousand."

Bloody hell, are these clothes gilded? So expensive? There goes a fifth of my monthly salary?

When Luo Chao heard the number from the manager's mouth, his head buzzed, and he swallowed his saliva, asking, "Can I not take it?"

Seeing Luo Chao's expression, Jiang Yuanyuan said with disdain, "No, either that or you're fired."

Luo Chao, bracing himself, accepted the manager-packaged school uniform and resignedly followed behind Jiang Yuanyuan.

When Jiang Yuanyuan got into the car and saw Luo Chao still distressed about the suit's cost, she said discontentedly, "Can't you be a bit more ambitious? It's just thirteen thousand? My daddy wouldn't even glance at this level of clothing!"

Luo Chao was fastening his seatbelt and almost got a nosebleed from anger hearing Jiang Yuanyuan's words. He thought, your dad has enough money to circle the Earth several times, but I earn only fifty thousand a month. I haven't even received my salary yet, and thirteen thousand is already gone. Is it easy for me?

Jiang Yuanyuan didn't care what Luo Chao was thinking. Seeing him silent, she directly started the car and pressed the accelerator.

Upon reaching the venue, Jiang Yuanyuan immediately rushed toward the banquet hall, with Luo Chao trailing behind. Everyone they passed along the way had a dog in hand. Luo Chao had also owned a little mutt before, naming it Lucky String, hoping to earn more money to marry a wife in the future.

But once when he was on a mission, the old man didn't keep an eye on Lucky String, and a bear in the mountains swiped it to death, leaving no remains. Luo Chao, furious, wiped out the whole bear den in the mountains, leaving none alive.

Now seeing these world-renowned dogs, he liked them but didn't have the same affection for them as Lucky String.

However, Jiang Yuanyuan was different. She was dazzled, looking at them incessantly, and Luo Chao couldn't help but smile subtly. Who knows, maybe this little girl was a relative of dogs in her past life, liking them so much. Jiang Yuanyuan would stop and go, and so would Luo Chao, but they hadn't yet seen Chen Xiaoqi upon reaching the banquet's main hall.

It was only then that Jiang Yuanyuan recalled Chen Xiaoqi and his family's big beauty dog, so she took out her phone to call Chen Xiaoqi, while Luo Chao stood observing the area. The banquet was held in a city indoor stadium. There weren't many people, but Luo Chao felt something might happen, his heartbeat a bit off.

So, he scanned the surroundings. The phone rang several times before Chen Xiaoqi picked up, and Jiang Yuanyuan asked, "Xiaoqi, where are you? I'm inside the venue but didn't see you."

Chen Xiaoqi, looking helplessly at the big beauty lying on the operating table, said bitterly, "I was only told when I got home that the big beauty got stuck eating a bone at noon and needed surgery. I can't make it!"

Jiang Yuanyuan was shocked and asked, "Is she okay?"

Chen Xiaoqi choked back tears and said, "She'll be fine once they get the bone out."

"So you can't come. Should I come over to keep you company?" Jiang Yuanyuan, though a bit disappointed about missing the performance, considered Chen Xiaoqi and the big beauty more important.

"No, it's alright. Since you're eager to watch, just finish and then come over. Isn't Luo Chao with you? By the time you finish, the big beauty should have finished her surgery," Chen Xiaoqi said considerately.

After considering for a while, Jiang Yuanyuan, unable to resist her love for dogs, apologized, "Alright then, I'll just watch for a short while."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuanyuan wasn't in a good mood. Luo Chao glanced at her and asked, "Chen Qi can't make it?"

Jiang Yuanyuan glared at Luo Chao and said, "None of your business!"

"Shall we leave?" Luo Chao still felt something was off about the venue, but he couldn't pinpoint what. During missions, he always trusted his sixth sense.

Jiang Yuanyuan glared at Luo Chao again and said, "If you want to leave, go by yourself! I want to watch for a bit longer!"

Then, as if convincing herself, she added, "Just a little while longer!"

So, they sat in a spot with the best view, with few people around them. Luo Chao followed suit, thinking to himself, of all the spots to pick, why choose the one that's most conspicuous?
