The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 111 STOP!
Ancient Mall was the most upscale shopping center in New York, where everything for sale was pure luxury. Even a simple pair of boxers would cost a couple of thousand. Jessica dragged Daniel Into the mall with her. Despite the exorbitant prices, the place was bustling. As a major economic city, New York teemed with the wealthy and boasted one of the highest luxury goods sales volumes in the country.
People from nearby states would even come to New York to shop, contributing to the thriving luxury market. On the third floorâthe menâs fashion levelâJessica pulled Daniel into an extremely luxurious menâs boutique as if shopping for daily necessities, picking out a heap of clothing and handing them to Daniel.
âTry these on.â
âAll of these?â
âJust try them!â Jessica insisted.
Daniel glanced at the price tags and remarked in disbelief. âThis one shirt is over ten thousand. The price tag must be a joke, right?â
âItâs a top international fashion brand. Shut up and try them on!â She herded him into a fitting room.
Outfitted in the selected apparel, Daniel stepped out.
âIndeed, a man needs highâquality clothes. This outfit is good. Try something else.â
Daniel continued trying on different outfits, each garnering Jessicaâs approval.
Eventually, Jessica approached the cashier with an armful of garments. âWeâll take all of these.â
Hearing this, Daniel interjected, âTake them all? These clothes together will cost hundreds of thousands!â
âSo what if itâs a few hundred thousand? Itâs not your money anyway.â
âHold on, dear,â Daniel bantered, âIsnât your money my money?â
Jessicaâs face darkened as she asked, âWhat did you call me?â
âBoss. I said boss,â Daniel quickly corrected.
Jessica actually didnât mind Daniel calling her âdear,â but she didnât want their relationship to progress too rapidly and preferred to maintain the status quo. Besides, she relished the control she had over Daniel with just a glance.
âWhy do I need so many clothes?â
âYour wardrobe is empty, and we finally have some time today. Better to stock up now than to go shopping again later.â
âWe shouldnât just buy one brand, though, Maybe we should check out a few more stores?
âNow whoâs the picky one?â Jessica teased as she selected a single outfit. Letâs get this one for or
and look around in other shops.
While browsing other stores, Jessica suddenly pointed to one and said, âThey have some nice styles here. You go in and take a look; I need to use the restroom.â
âThe restroom?â Daniel gave her a concerned look, took her hand, and checked her pulse. âDid you eat seafood yesterday? Like sashimi or something raw?â
âHow do you know?â
âYouâve got food poisoning. I could do acupuncture or brew you some herbal tea later. That might make you feel better.â
âI donât want acupuncture, and I definitely wonât drink any herbal tea.â
Before she could finish, Jessica clutched her stomach and dashed toward the restroom.
Entering the store, Danielâs eyes were drawn to a Tâshirt on display. He reached out to take a closer look, but the shop assistant, Harper, raced over, shouting to halt him.
âCountry boy, what do you think youâre doing? Hands off! Donât you dare to touch that Tâshirt!â
