Chapter 394: Chapter 393: Pretty Boy Young Master Lin
In response to his wife’s disdain, Young Master Lin answered frankly, his handsome face showing no shame: "Wife, I’ve decided that from now on, I’ll only wear the clothes you buy for me, and you have to use your own salary to buy them."
Everyone says that if a man is willing to spend money on a woman, it means he truly cares about her. Doesn’t the reverse also mean the same?
Young Master Lin was delighted with this astonishing discovery he had made.
As for An Nan, who was asked to buy clothes for him, she had no idea about the little schemes playing out in this man’s mind. The only thing she could think of was the price of this man’s clothing; each piece was indeed sky-high. Although her salary wasn’t low either, buying clothes for this man would probably cost her an entire month’s pay for just one set. Was he planning to wear only one set to work every month? She could afford to lose face, but she could not.
Nonetheless, An Nan knew well that this man was always one to keep his word. Since he said this, he was sure to act on it. Helplessly, An Nan had to dip into her savings accumulated over the years to buy several sets of clothes for this man, finally putting an end to the matter.
Some time later, a report appeared on television.
The headline of the news was: The Frugal Chairman of Lin Group
The general content of the news was: Although Lin Mubai, the Chairman of Lin Group, is the President of a big corporation, his lifestyle remains very frugal. The news went on to list all the clothes the chairman had worn recently, and the sharp-eyed public quickly noticed that indeed, Chairman Lin was frugal, wearing only a few sets over and over, unlike other wealthy individuals who would rather replace clothes after only one wear.
After watching the news, An Nan immediately scoffed. If it weren’t for the fact that she remembered she was the so-called President’s Wife mentioned in the papers, she’d really like to call the media and tell the public the truth.
Chairman Lin wasn’t frugal at all; each of those suits cost her a month’s salary.
The scene returns to the men’s clothing store.
Amid Lin Mubai’s delight, An Nan finished choosing a tie for him and paying the bill, only to witness a weird scene once again.
For some reason, she felt the gazes around her were quite peculiar.
Soon, An Nan understood from the whispers around her why those gazes were so strange.
"Did you see that? That man looks quite nice, but turns out he’s just a pretty face."
"Yeah, yeah, he can’t even afford two ties and lets the woman pay for them."
"Hmm, that woman is really silly; she looks like a smart person, though."
One voice after another, filled with pity, disdain, and sympathy, flowed into An Nan’s ears.
While An Nan was dumbfounded, she sneaked a glance at the man beside her.
In their eyes, her dignified Young Master Lin had become a gigolo living off a woman. The conversation of these people had no sense of discretion, and of course, Lin Mubai heard every word clearly.
Just as An Nan worried the man beside her would angrily flip out, Lin Mubai’s reaction surprised her.
He wore a cheerful face, with no trace of anger, and even appropriately comforted the little woman beside him: "Wife, I’m not angry, don’t worry."
With those words, he directed his amused gaze at the people who had just spoken. For some reason, the few people under his gaze suddenly felt a chill at their feet, with a strong urge to flee immediately.
