Chapter 479: Chapter 229: Buying Clothes

But if Fei was the one who made the first move, that was much less likely.

Still, Lin Ping was also curious. Just how handsome did a man have to be to make Fei take the initiative?

’I thought she had high standards.’

Especially after her parents’ divorce, her standards for men had gotten even higher.

Puzzled, Lin Ping pressed on.

"What kind of person is he? Is he nice?"

"He’s amazing!"

The moment Lin Shen was mentioned, Zheng Yanfei lit up like a child showing off her favorite toy, her eyes filled with adoration and love.

"He’s a very gentle person! And he treats me so well! Remember that bracelet I showed you that he gave me? He’s actually given me a lot of other things, like this handbag, for instance."

Zheng Yanfei showed her handbag to Lin Ping. Even though Lin Ping didn’t know much about luxury goods, the iconic Chanel double-C logo was instantly recognizable to most women.

Even a mom like her knew a thing or two about it.

"A Chanel bag?"

"Yep!"

Zheng Yanfei said proudly.

"He got it for me from the boutique. It costs over fifty thousand online!"

’That expensive?’

Lin Ping’s eyes widened slightly in astonishment.

’Fei’s boyfriend treats her really well!’

’To be so lavish with his gifts?’

’That means he’s not after her money, at least. But as for just wanting her for sex... that’s another story...’

Just as Lin Ping, still worried, was about to ask for more details, Zheng Yanfei’s next words left her completely stunned.

"And my boyfriend also bought me a Porsche sports car. With all the options, it came out to over a million."

Huh?

’A Porsche sports car worth over a million?’

Lin Ping was floored. It took her a moment to process what she’d heard. A tidal wave of shock crashed through her previously calm thoughts.

’Just how rich is this boyfriend of Fei’s? Giving away a sports car like it’s nothing?!’

’If everything she’s saying is true... it’s just unimaginable!’

A moment ago, Lin Ping had been worried that Zheng Yanfei was being scammed for her money and body. Now, her concern had completely flipped.

’Could it be that Fei’s the one wrapping *him* around her little finger?’

’That won’t do!’

Lin Ping stared into Zheng Yanfei’s eyes and said earnestly.

"Fei, is everything you said true?"

"Of course it’s true!"

Zheng Yanfei knew Lin Ping wouldn’t believe her. She was about to pull out her phone to show the pictures from when she and Lin Shen ordered the car at the Porsche dealership, but Lin Ping stopped her.

"I believe you, but you’re not deceiving him, are you?"

"Deceiving him about what?"

"Like, stringing him along emotionally..."

Lin Ping struggled to find the right words, but Zheng Yanfei was sharp and immediately understood what her aunt meant. She quickly explained.

"Of course not! We’ve already... Ugh! Anyway, the reason he’s so good to me is just that he’s incredibly rich. This kind of money is nothing to him."

"A sports car worth over a million is completely out of reach for us, but for someone in his social class, it’s probably a casual purchase, like us going to the grocery store."

"Is that so."

Lin Ping could imagine it. After all, she knew a man who fit Zheng Yanfei’s description perfectly.

And that man was Lin Shen!

Lin Shen was just like that—a big spender who didn’t seem to care about the cost, fully embodying what it meant to be wealthy.

’I can’t believe Fei managed to meet someone like that too.’

’I guess sometimes a girl has to take the initiative to find her own great love story!’

Lin Ping sighed to herself, deciding not to get too hung up on the matter of Zheng Yanfei and her boyfriend.

After all, judging by how ridiculously wealthy her boyfriend was, he probably treated her very well in other ways too.

Still, there was one thing Lin Ping wanted to confirm.

The two of them walked into Hesheng International. When the surrounding crowd thinned out a bit, Lin Ping quietly asked Zheng Yanfei a question.

"Fei, have you and your boyfriend slept together?"

Huh?

Zheng Yanfei froze, stunned by the question. She never imagined that her gentle, reserved aunt would ask something so direct!

Her face immediately flushed red as she stammered shyly.

"Auntie, didn’t you just say we needed to be proper in public? Why are you suddenly asking about this...?"

"I’m worried about you."

Lin Ping said this in a dead-serious tone. She showed no hint of shyness about the topic, looking exceptionally solemn, as if she were on a mission.

After her older sister passed away, she, as Zheng Yanfei’s aunt, felt it was her duty to also be a "mother" to her.

Therefore, her education in *that* area needed to catch up!

So Lin Ping began to earnestly advise her.

"When you two are intimate, you must remember to use protection. You’re still young. I know the novelty is exciting, but a young woman has to protect herself when she’s out in the world, especially her body. Understand?"

"Even if your boyfriend insists, or even if you think it’s a ’safe’ time, you must always use protection."

"Auntie~ I know,"

Zheng Yanfei said, hugging Lin Ping’s arm and squirming a little. She kept her crimson face lowered, feeling a wave of bashfulness.

After all, it was pretty embarrassing to have a relative call her out on something like this.

Recalling all the little details of her nights with Lin Shen, Zheng Yanfei was overcome with a sense of mortification and could only resort to a white lie.

"My boyfriend is very considerate. He never pressures me to do anything too extreme, and when we do... that... he always makes sure I’m protected."

"That’s good."

Lin Ping let out a long, silent sigh of relief.

In her experience, rich men tended to play the field when it came to relationships.

Take Lin Shen, for example. She knew him very well.

If it were her, Lin Ping could accept it. After all, as a divorcée, she didn’t care about that sort of thing.

’But Zheng Yanfei is so young. She can’t be led astray!’

"Auntie, thank you."

Zheng Yanfei knew her aunt was just concerned for her, and her heart filled once more with the warmth of family looking out for one another.

The two linked arms affectionately and began to browse the men’s clothing stores.

The first two boutiques they visited were Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

The luxury market for menswear was already small, and most of it was dedicated to custom suits.

This left very few brands to choose from when buying casual, ready-to-wear clothes.

And taking Lin Shen’s preferences into account, Zheng Yanfei decided to try Louis Vuitton first.

"Hello, ladies. How may I help you?"

Seeing Zheng Yanfei and Lin Ping enter the boutique, a sales associate quickly approached with a smile.

"For womenswear, this way please."

"No, we’re here to see the menswear."

Zheng Yanfei shook her head and said softly.

"I want to buy a few outfits for my boyfriend."

"Certainly, no problem!"

The sales associate enthusiastically led Zheng Yanfei and Lin Ping to the menswear section and asked thoughtfully.

"I see your boyfriend isn’t with you. Would you like me to have a male colleague assist you and try on the clothes for sizing?"

"That won’t be necessary."

Zheng Yanfei waved her hand.

"Just find me a suitable mannequin. Height 182 cm, chest 103, waist 86, hips 95. Those are the approximate measurements."

Zheng Yanfei recited Lin Shen’s measurements with practiced ease.

She had never heard Lin Shen mention these numbers, but after spending so much time with him—not to mention their many late-night entanglements—

she had long since "felt out" his exact build.

Zheng Yanfei had measured Lin Shen’s chest with her arms, and his waist and hips with her legs, so she had a very good sense of his proportions.

"Of course. Please have a seat on the sofa for a moment. I’ll go get one for you right away."

The sales associate was thrilled once she understood what Zheng Yanfei needed.

After all, not many people knew LV even offered a mannequin service.

’This woman is clearly a regular!’

’And from the looks of it, she’s planning on buying a lot for her boyfriend.’

The sales associate didn’t dare to neglect such a promising potential customer and immediately hurried to the back of the store to get the mannequin.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yanfei pulled Lin Ping over to a sofa to wait.

But Lin Ping had been looking dazed for a while now, and a thought began to bubble up inside her.

’The build Fei’s describing for her boyfriend... why does it sound a little like President Lin?’
