Female Novel
Chapter 1596
My brows furrowed at the sight of the picture.
Audrey was right. The woman looked just like me.
Besides our fashion styles, it was no exaggeration to say that both of us looked exactly the same. I
stayed stunned for a moment before noticing the other person in the picture.
It was a man. Even though only his chin showed up in the picture, I could tell that it wasn’t Ashton.
The first thing that came to mind was that I had never taken such an intimate picture with any man in
my life. Both of them were standing shoulder to shoulder, with their faces touching. They looked like an
affectionate couple no matter what.
Seeing that I wasn’t reacting at all, Emery leaned closer to take a look before saying, “She looks like
your long-lost twin sister.”
Without giving it much thought, I replied in shock, “Really? Do I really have a twin sister?”
A look of disdain appeared on the woman’s face as she said, “Can’t you tell that I was just joking?”
Then, she took the picture from my hands and started to study it. “But I’ve got to say, both of you really
do look alike. It’s at the point where I can’t even tell that this woman isn’t you. It’s no wonder the kids
would go after her like that.”
I shrugged, unsure of how I should reply.
Meanwhile, Audrey had already made her way to the car and was urging us to hurry up. I quickly
shoved the picture back into the wallet and put it on the counter before leaving.
With Fuller Corporation as the sponsor, the whole of Wenville seemed like a banquet out of the
dreams. The parade of carriages stretched on for miles during the warm-up phase alone. Models with
excellent figures stood in the carriages as they displayed the Hanfu they were wearing. Just the sight of
them made the audience appreciate the clothing more.
For some reason, Emery had a sudden change in attitude after receiving a call. She immediately
dragged me to the biggest Hanfu store in the city.
For someone who would only shop in high-end stores, she didn’t seem to mind the bustling shop at all.
In fact, she was completely unaffected by her surroundings. The woman circled the shop and noticed a
sign that wrote: “Haute Couture upstairs (minimum spending thirty-six thousand).” At the sight of this,
Emery took the wooden stairs and spent around eighty-eight thousand there, making her one of the
shop’s VIPs.
It was a lot quieter upstairs. All the Hanfu there were made with first-class materials, so every one of
them looked beautiful.
A green gown caught Emery’s attention. She had a softer temperament after putting in on and looked
absolutely stunning when she wasn’t speaking.
I was the only one being absent-minded. Is it really possible for two people to look exactly the same?
We were in the same place too. This is too much of a coincidence.
“Hey, Scarlett! What’s on your mind? Why do you look so somber?”
I finally snapped back to my senses when Emery raised her voice. Shaking my head, I said, “It’s
nothing. This one suits you. Should we pick out some accessories? I noticed that some of the young
ladies outside had even changed their shoes.”
“We can pick out the accessories, but there’s no need for the shoes. High heels are a woman’s secret
weapon.”
I laughed at her words. “The people here truly like Hanfu, but you’re paying more attention to yournovelbin
beauty. You just have to be the prettiest even when we’re wearing traditional clothes, don’t you?”
Hearing that, she chuckled and said, “Don’t expose me even when you’ve figured it out. You should
pick something too. They would need a week minimum to custom-make your order. We can still make it
to the project’s opening if we come here together when it’s done. We have to show off what we have at
least.”
“I’ll pass,” I replied. I didn’t have any interest in this sort of stuff. “It’s too annoying to get changed.”
Having no desires and with life becoming more stable, I started to become lazy. I didn’t feel like moving
once I sat down.
“Okay, then. It’s your choice.” Emery didn’t try to force it on me, and she continued admiring the dress
she was wearing.
Seeing that we hadn’t paid even after such a long time, the manager of the shop walked over to us and
said, “Hello, the shop is offering a forty percent discount if both of you pay together. If you are
interested, I can tell the ones working at the counter to register both of you.”
“Forty percent? That’s almost free, then.” Emery instantly turned into a shopaholic. She turned to me
and said seriously, “It’s a forty percent discount! This is like picking up money from the streets. I don’t
care. You have to get something now. I don’t mind paying it for you.”
No woman could ever escape the clutches of a discount.
I became serious about it now that I was going to buy something.
There were many different kinds of accessories displayed in the cabinets. However, I liked the phoenix
coronet in the center the most. It was as though the coronet was enchanted as I couldn’t take my eyes
off of it the moment I saw it.
