Twenty minutes later, Secretary Xiao returned to the VIP lounge, laden with shopping bags. She seemed to be in excellent spirits; although none of the items were for her, the experience of shopping during work hours was quite enjoyable.
"You're back?"
Tang Yuan, who was chatting with Wen Muxue at the time, heard the approaching sound of high heels and knew it must be Secretary Xiao returning.
"If I didn't come back now, I'd be too late."
Secretary Xiao walked over to Tang Yuan, placed the numerous luxury brand shopping bags on the floor, and then handed him his black gold credit card and the shopping receipts from her pocket. "Have Miss Wen try them on quickly. If the sizes are wrong, I still have time to exchange them."
Tang Yuan took the black gold credit card and shopping receipts from Secretary Xiao, didn't even glance at them, and casually tucked them into his pocket. Then, he turned his gaze to Wen Muxue. "You're wearing too little. These are clothes Secretary Xiao helped you pick out. Go to the restroom and see if they fit."
Wen Muxue hadn't expected Tang Yuan to send someone to buy so many things for her in such a short time. Looking at the dazzling array of shopping bags on the floor—CHANEL, GUCCI, LV, DIOR, and so on—not a single one was from an ordinary brand.
"Senior, you…"
Wen Muxue stared blankly at Tang Yuan, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"We have 20 minutes until boarding. Hurry up and try them on."
Tang Yuan urged her with a slight smile.
"Oh, oh…"
"Then I'll go try them. Thank you, Senior."
Facing Tang Yuan's urging and Secretary Xiao's watchful gaze, Wen Muxue dared not waste any more time. She picked up the numerous shopping bags from the floor and hurried towards the restroom.
...
The VIP lounge's restroom was spacious. After Wen Muxue closed the door, she leaned against it, her heart pounding.
Once her emotions had settled slightly, she looked at the heavy shopping bags in her hands and began to rummage through them.
A CUCCI dress, CHANEL haute couture, a DIOR trench coat, an LV handbag, Prada high heels…
Every item was the latest seasonal collection from a major luxury brand.
Even the cheapest high heels were worth over ten thousand yuan.
If all the items in these shopping bags were added up, the total value had already exceeded 200,000 yuan, yet Tang Yuan had casually given them to her without even batting an eye.
Wen Muxue gently caressed the silk dress, a peculiar glint flashing in her eyes as she softly murmured, "This time, it seems I've chosen correctly…"
...
Five minutes later.
Wen Muxue, dressed in the CUCCI dress and Prada high heels, gracefully emerged from the restroom.
This CUCCI Fall/Winter new collection dress featured a soft, flowing silk crepe with a low neckline and delicate shoulder straps, intricate embroidery enriching the waist, exquisite floral embroidery on the inner layer of the lace long sleeves, and a simple tie-back design.
Wen Muxue, who had originally tied her hair in a ponytail, let it all down. Her dark, long hair cascaded like a waterfall over her fair shoulders. The perfectly tailored black lace dress impeccably accentuated her figure, and her perfectly proportioned beautiful legs appeared even longer and straighter, enhanced by the high heels.
Dressed up, Wen Muxue's cool demeanor gained a touch of nobility.
Facing Tang Yuan's intense gaze and Secretary Xiao's admiring eyes, Wen Muxue felt a little nervous. She instinctively raised a hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear and quietly asked, "Senior, does it look good?"
"Very beautiful."
Tang Yuan replied truthfully, his voice carrying a hint of admiration.
Upon hearing Tang Yuan's response, a captivating blush appeared on Wen Muxue's fair face.
"Miss Wen, this dress truly highlights your elegance when you wear it."
Secretary Xiao praised her from the bottom of her heart, then immediately asked, "Have you tried on the other clothes? Do they fit?"
"I've tried them all, and they all fit perfectly. Thank you, Sister Xiao."
Wen Muxue nodded, politely expressing her gratitude.
Secretary Xiao merely smiled at her words and said nothing more.
A moment later, Wen Muxue brought all the shopping bags from the restroom and returned to sit beside Tang Yuan.
Over the dress, Wen Muxue wore a white CHANEL embroidered wool jacket, which added an extra touch of sophistication to her overall appearance.
The saying "Clothes make the man" is absolutely true. Even a natural beauty like Wen Muxue showed a significant improvement in her overall demeanor after putting on international luxury brands, let alone ordinary people with average looks.
Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue, who seemed to have completely changed her style, and said with a smile, "This outfit suits you quite well. When we arrive in Hong Kong later, I have a dinner party to attend, and you can accompany me wearing this. It'll be just right."
"Just buying a jacket would have been fine. These clothes are so expensive…"
Wen Muxue said softly.
"You're accompanying me to Hong Kong for business these next few days, and some occasions require this kind of attire. Just wear them comfortably."
Tang Yuan smiled. "Besides, these clothes look really good on you, and it brightens my face to travel with such a beautiful companion."
"All right."
Since Tang Yuan had already said so, if Wen Muxuesaid anything more, it would seem overly sentimental.
...
Twenty minutes passed in a flash.
At the reminder of the VIP lounge staff, Tang Yuanand his group proceeded through the exclusive security checkpoint of the VIP building. After security, they boarded an exclusive shuttle bus, heading towards the location of their flight.
The plane Tang Yuan was taking to Hong Kong was an Airbus 333 wide-body aircraft from China Eastern Airlines. Tang Yuan, Secretary Xiao, Wen Muxue, and two bodyguards all had first-class seats.
As for the other accompanying bodyguards, they were all in super economy class.
As first-class guests, the VIP lounge staff and flight attendants provided seamless service. The warm greetings and meticulous service were all tangible manifestations of real money, as a first-class ticket could easily be worth ten economy-class tickets.
Since his transmigration, this was Tang Yuan's first time taking a plane. For him, the first-class service in both worlds was almost identical, with no significant differences, so he was completely accustomed to the flight attendants' service throughout the process.
Wen Muxue, however, was different. As it was her first time flying first class, she seemed a little overwhelmed by the extremely enthusiastic flight attendants, but her adaptability was strong, and she quickly adjusted to the first-class environment.
After Tang Yuan and his group were all seated, a commotion began to spread from the rear, indicating that business class and economy class passengers were starting to board. The entire process lasted about twenty minutes.
At seven in the evening, the rain stopped.
Under the pilot's control, this magnificent flower of human civilization's industry, after a brief turbulence, soared towards the south, wings outstretched…
