Chapter 26: Ch. 26 Shopping

At first glance, Anxia’s eyes seemed to sparkle as soon as she walked in to see so many rows of breathtaking extravagant clothing. But she immediately concealed it and put on an expression as calm as possible. She acted like she wasn’t interested even though she was excited to try on all these admirable garments.

After all, she was an early 20s young girl!

Xia Xia had no idea that Richard had seen the glint in her eyes. Even if it was only for a moment, Richard could still see it as clear as day. That’s why he didn’t stop smiling, feeling that the first step to court his wife was quite successful.

“Pick whichever you like.”

“What?” it seems that today Anxia often has difficulty hearing. Every time Richard said something unexpected, the words that came out of the man’s mouth seemed to bounce from her ears.

“Take what catches your eye. Of course, you have to try it in the dressing room so I can judge if it fits your body or not. Or maybe you want me to accompany you to the fitting room?”

“Hmph!” Without giving an answer, Anxia turned nonchalantly and carelessly chose clothes she could find. Her demeanor seemed superficial, but these four attires actually caught her attention as soon as she entered this place.

.....

After taking the four clothes, a waiter swiftly escorted her to the fitting room in the middle of the room.

Once in the dressing room and alone there, Anxia immediately took off her mask and admired the shiny outfit she had chosen. Curious about the price, Anxia took out her price tag and widened her eyes when she saw the price.

Two thousand nine hundred euros!? What a huge price!

Anxia looked at the prices of the other clothes, and her eyes widened even more to see that the most expensive one was four thousand five hundred euros.

Why did that man dare bring her here and tell her to choose anything? Was the man not afraid she would bankrupt him??

Anxia had known that Richard came from a wealthy family because he owned a robotic company that was currently viral. But she had no idea that Richard’s family could afford to buy clothes and small items worth over a thousand euros as casually as buying herring on the street for only two to three euros.

Anxia began to compare the price of the cheapest clothes she chose with her earnings as an assassin. Usually, Master Yu would give her ten to fifteen thousand Hongkong dollars if she accomplished a mission.

Even her highest income, when she had to kill an important figure, was only twenty thousand dollars, and she still couldn’t buy these two thousand nine hundred euros worth of clothes.

Her head became dizzy thinking about the nominal amount of money in her head. Anxia had a high IQ and memorized almost all of the world’s currency exchange rates. That’s why her brain could immediately think quickly and calculate the pros and cons as long as she is a hitman.

Why didn’t fate bring her sooner with Richard? Why should Michele be the daughter-in-law of the Calvin family first?

Oh, that girl was fortunate. Anxia was sure that her enemy must have lived happily with her husband and her new wealth.

Should she stop being a hitman? Making money as young as Calvin’s wife seems much more profitable. Plus, she didn’t have to be separated from her daughter and wasn’t afraid of not coming home because death always came his way.

After all, she could make Richard fall in love with her so that he would give her everything for her. She could seduce and coax the pervert into giving her some unlimited cards.

Then, when Richard was sloppy, she would kill him in his sleep, and all the man’s assets and wealth would fall into her hands.

Once she was widowed, Anxia could carry out her vengeful plot and receive consolation from the Raymonds. Only then could she enter the family and ruin Michele Wong’s life.

Not only that, but Anxia could also act and trick Stanley into giving crucial information regarding Tiffany III’s secret. That way, this world was in the palm of her hand, and she could get rid of master Yu from this world.

A sly smile full of enthusiasm appeared on her face as she caressed the four glittering clothes affectionately.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Xia Xia, are you okay there? Is the dress size not right?”

Anxia immediately corrected her expression and answered her ‘husband’ in a sweet tone.

“Not really. Wait a bit; I’ll be out after changing.”

Richard’s eyebrows rose at the sudden change in his wife’s tone. Was it just his feelings, or did she speak in a charming obedient wife tone?

Richard couldn’t help but be wary of the change in tone in his wife. Surprisingly, he felt much more relaxed when his wife was threatening and fierce than when he saw her being spoiled and submitting to him.

He felt that his wife had figured out a plan to strike back and was now acting sweet to keep him off guard.

Just like Anxia, ??Richard smiled lopsidedly at the thought of this possibility.

Well, if the girl wants to play with him, then he will follow his wife’s game. After all, Anxia is his wife. If not him accompanying his wife to play, then who else?

Uhm... Shouldn’t it be more correct ‘if it wasn’t Richard protecting her as a husband, then who else?’, but... never mind.

Well, of course, Richard knew Anxia didn’t need someone to protect her, and she didn’t need a prince on a white horse to save her from criminals. What she needs is a HERO who will bring her out of an infuriating world filled with darkness and bitterness.

This was Richard’s purpose for forcing the woman to agree to this marriage. Not only does he want to provide a family for his baby girl, but Richard wants to make his wife’s life more meaningful.
