Volume 4 Chapter 16
by Golden DragonVolume 4 + Chapter 16: Cross-dressing As Beautiful As A Painting
“What kind of joke is this? You actually want me to wear this kind of clothes!” Upon seeing the women’s clothing in the clerk’s hands, Qianxue struggled fiercely.
“Please cooperate. Having you put on these clothes is the boss’s strict order!” A clerk said while holding down Qianxue’s hand.
“Boss?” Hearing this, Qianxue was a bit confused.
“That’s right, your boyfriend. He came to the store a few days ago and said the style of women’s clothing in our shop suits his girlfriend perfectly, so he bought the entire store outright. The current store manager is just someone he hired to look after it.”
“So this was all Bai Yuxuan’s scheme from the beginning? Damn you, Bai Yuxuan!”
“Alright, please just put them on quickly. The boss said that if we don’t even have the ability to make you wear these clothes, we don’t need to stay in this store anymore. So today, even if we have to tear off your clothes inch by inch, we will make you change into these!”
The clerk all wore expressions of people ready to die for their cause. Qianxue believed that under the threat of losing their jobs, these clerks would definitely follow through. Moreover, if his clothes were really torn off by them, his secret would likely be exposed.
So was that why that bastard Bai Yuxuan used lip language to tell him “be careful not to get exposed” right before pushing him into the fitting room?
“Bai Yuxuan, you bastard!” Recalling Bai Yuxuan’s smirk, Qianxue couldn’t help but curse loudly at her from inside.
“Not changed yet? I can’t wait any longer.” But who would have thought that right after Qianxue finished cursing, Bai Yuxuan’s voice came from outside, and in a very impatient tone. The clerk panicked and immediately started pulling off Qianxue’s clothes. Qianxue was terrified.
“Stop! I’ll change, I’ll change, alright? At least… at least let me do it myself ( >﹏<。)” Finally, when the clerk took off Qianxue’s top and reached for his pants, Qianxue surrendered.
Thus, Qianxue had no choice but to obediently start changing. Meanwhile, Bai Yuxuan outside the fitting room heartlessly added, “If you keep me waiting too long, I won’t mind helping you personally.” Then came a “plop” sound from inside the fitting room.
“Damn you, Bai Yuxuan! One day I’ll pay you back double for what you’re doing to me now!” Qianxue rubbed his sore bottom from the fall and said viciously.
Just as Bai Yuxuan was eagerly waiting for Qianxue to finish changing, her phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID show Wang Qian, her previously cheerful expression tightened again.
“Hello, what do you want?” Bai Yuxuan answered the phone after making sure no one else was around.
“I want to ask… have you found Qianxue?” Wang Qian’s tone on the phone was somewhat hesitant.
“Yes, I’m with him right now.”
“What! Then what about our conversation…”
“Don’t worry, he can’t hear us.”
“I see.”
“I bet you didn’t call me just to confirm whether I’ve found Qianxue, right?”
“That’s right. I want to ask you, when exactly are you bringing Qianxue back to Xijiang?”
“Probably in about a week. After all, my identity is special. If my family finds out I went to the capital without permission, they’ll likely send someone after me. Even if not for my own sake, I have to consider Qianxue’s safety.”
“I see. Bai Yuxuan, there’s actually one more thing I want to tell you, but I don’t know if I can trust you…”
“Hmph.” Hearing Wang Qian’s words, Bai Yuxuan gave a cold laugh.
“If you’re going to tell me about Qianxue’s real gender, I already know.”
“What!” A shocked voice came from the other end.
“You already knew…” After a long pause, Wang Qian’s low voice finally came through.
“And that was before I left for the capital.” Bai Yuxuan’s words once again plunged Wang Qian, who had barely calmed down, into shock.
“You already knew Qianxue’s gender, yet you still went after him?”
“This has nothing to do with gender. In this lifetime, the only person who has ever entered my Bai Yuxuan’s heart is Qianxue. So regardless of whether he is male or female, it has no bearing on whether I like him!”
“I see… I’m sorry.” After hearing Bai Yuxuan’s words, Wang Qian first sighed, then apologized.
“You’re a strange one. Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?” Bai Yuxuan laughed coldly at Wang Qian’s words.
“I’m apologizing because I interfered with you and Qianxue in the past, and also because I hid Qianxue’s gender from you this time, using you to chase Qianxue back.”
“None of that matters. After all, you did all of that for Qianxue’s good. So not only will I not resent you, I actually want to thank you. But speaking of which, aren’t you on Wang Shiman’s side? Why did you betray Wang Shiman this time to help me?”
“Because Wang Shiman called Qianxue to the capital for her own purposes…”
“Wait, Qianxue has finished changing and is coming out…” But before Wang Qian could finish, Bai Yuxuan interrupted her because she suddenly saw the fitting room curtain move. However, she stopped mid-sentence.
The reason was that she saw Qianxue stepping out of the fitting room.
There stood Qianxue, wearing a Gothic Lolita outfit. The upper part of this Lolita dress was mainly white, pure white perfectly expressing a maiden’s innocence, while the black half-skirt and tights beautifully accentuated Qianxue’s slender figure.
Meanwhile, Qianxue’s hair had been forcibly tied by the clerk into twin ponytails. The black bow paired with her golden hair created a strong contrast between light and dark, serving as the finishing touch to this ensemble. At that moment, Qianxue looked just like a doll.
“Hey, Bai Yuxuan, what’s wrong with Qianxue? Changed clothes? What exactly are you doing with him!” Only when Wang Qian’s shouting came through the phone did Bai Yuxuan snap back to reality.
“What are you yelling about? I’m currently admiring Qianxue in Lolita attire!”
“What! How can you not share such a beautiful scene with me? Hurry up and take a few photos!”
“Why should I take photos for you?”
“Because we’re on the same side now. We’re like comrades in life-and-death struggle. Good things should be shared…” But before Wang Qian could finish, Bai Yuxuan hung up the phone.
“How ridiculous. I’ve never heard of comrades sharing their own wife, especially when he’s this cute.” Bai Yuxuan said this with a laugh. Originally, she had been thinking about how to solve the fake gender issue between her and Qianxue so that Qianxue could legitimately marry her in the future. But now a new idea suddenly occurred to her: since Qianxue was this adorable, why not have Qianxue marry her instead? The more Bai Yuxuan thought about it, the more feasible this plan seemed.
Meanwhile, Qianxue’s face was flushed crimson from wearing these clothes that he considered extremely shameful.
“Do… don’t look! Oth… otherwise, I’ll dig your eyes out!”
