Chapter 20: Don’t Want Useless Things

White snow-capped mountains rose into the clouds, a pale blue sky hung overhead, endless snowflakes danced, and the world lay in pure white…

Ahem.

Clovie put on the blue and white set Chen Yuan had picked for her.

These pieces matched her usual style and resembled the outfit she had worn when she first arrived in this world.

It seemed Teacher liked this kind of look…

After she changed her underwear, she got dressed and walked out.

Although everything was hidden inside and no one could see it, Chen Yuan knew she had definitely changed.

Something in his heart felt satisfied; in short, he was very pleased.

The last time he had felt happy while spending money on someone else had probably been when he bought an earring for Yu Enqi.

Damn, why did he think of that idiot woman again…

He felt as if he had become less mature since returning; was it because his body was still that of a teenage boy?

However, when he looked at Clovie, dressed in a simple modern outfit that was stylish and beautiful, Chen Yuan still felt something was missing…

It was not a skirt that was missing, but rather… accessories!

Her crown was gone, and many sparkling ornaments were missing as well, so she now looked rather plain.

Of course, anyone meeting her for the first time in this world would never think so.

Chen Yuan asked, “Luo Wei, want to take a look at earrings or bracelets?”

“Sure.” Clovie agreed without thinking; it had almost become her habit to accept all of Chen Yuan’s suggestions…

“All right, let’s go.”

The clerk said, “Thank you for shopping, take care~”

Chen Yuan carried the shopping bag, and Clovie tried to help, but he refused with a glare.

Inside were the garments she had taken off, including underwear and other intimate items, so she felt embarrassed that Chen Yuan was holding them.

What if Chen Yuan accidentally took them out and sniffed them…

Chen Yuan: “????”

How careless would I have to be to do something like that…

Only a pervert would do that, okay?!

On the way, Chen Yuan also bought two bottles of water and glanced into every clothing store they passed to see if there was anything else she needed.

When they came to a shoe store, he went in and picked up two pairs.

About ten minutes later, two shoe bags were added to his hands, and he threw in several pairs of small white socks that suited her very well.

They made her look clean.

Because her skin was so fair, other colors looked somewhat unsuitable.

After this single outing, everything she wore from head to toe was brand-new…

Inside or out…

Even her feet now…

Everything belonged to Teacher…

When she thought of this, she suddenly felt happy again, repeating to herself: Now everything about me belongs to Teacher…

…

They arrived at a jewelry shop, and Chen Yuan led her around for a casual look.

The clerk enthusiastically introduced the products.

Although he could not afford anything extremely expensive, he could manage a small piece of gold.

He overlooked one thing: how could someone like Clovie, who had once been a Queen, find these trinkets attractive…

Even a single crown she had worn in the past was worth far more than these rings and bracelets.

These items were not even as surprising to her as the barbecue Chen Yuan had taken her to eat.

Chen Yuan asked gently, “Is there anything you like?”

Clovie shook her head truthfully; she not only disliked them, she also disliked the price.

The barbecue she had eaten with Chen Yuan cost only 188 per person, but everything here added one or two extra zeros…

Even though she had just arrived in this world, she already had a rough idea of its prices.

A Queen was no fool; she had always been diligent in caring for her people.

There was no need for such things; she would rather have Chen Yuan take her to eat more delicious food…

She was no longer a Queen, and these expensive ornaments she had worn before were the most useless possessions…

Understanding, Chen Yuan asked again, “Has this bracelet got a new version?”

It was called something like Starry Love Series Three; Yu Enqi had hinted countless times that she liked it.

Every time a new model came out, she would say she wanted to go shopping.

The clerk smiled and said, “Yes, sir, you do look familiar… Your girlfriend is really pretty…”

As he spoke, he gestured for Chen Yuan to follow him to the other side.

Chen Yuan said with a self-mocking smile, “Of course I look familiar; this isn’t my first time here.” He glanced at Clovie, signalling her to follow.

This time, he ignored the rest of the clerk’s words.

But Clovie, who did notice, heard those words, and since Chen Yuan did not refute them, her heart beat a little faster; she pressed her lips hard, yet the corners still quirked upward ever so slightly…

It was not that Chen Yuan ignored it intentionally; countless NPCs had said the same thing that day, and even a dog would get tired of barking back.

He was too lazy to argue anymore; each time he retorted he only made it seem as though he desperately wanted distance from Clovie.

Such deliberate behavior would upset anyone.

He decided to stand straight and let the rumors fly.

The clerk said, “Sir, this is the Starry Love Series Three bracelet; it can be paired with earrings and a ring… Its design concept is %… ￥%”

“Stop!”

Chen Yuan made a traffic officer’s stop gesture, telling him to halt.

He had no interest in the so-called design concept and needed no introduction.

Chen Yuan asked gently, “Hmm… not bad; does this one look good?”

The three pieces on the table were made of gold, platinum, and small diamonds; under the lights they sparkled like stars and were, of course, beautiful.

The clerk felt very confident about the set; every new release sold out, and almost all purchases were by men buying for their girlfriends.

There was hardly a young woman who disliked glittering, starry jewelry; people were vain after all, and wearing these pieces made one walk down the street with greater confidence.

As for the price, it was set quite moderately; the main customer base was young people like Chen Yuan, who had some money but not a lot.

It looked as though this sale was in the bag.

“It doesn’t look good.”

The clerk: “?!”

Your boyfriend is clearly buying it for you; why would you refuse?!

Clovie shook her head and spoke calmly.

This kind of thing was not even as pretty as an ice-crystal pendant she could make herself…

Besides, she had glanced at the price: 13,145.20…

That could pay for dozens of barbecue meals…

Even in her own kingdom, she, as a Queen, would never make such a bad deal.

With that money she would, of course, choose to hand it to her people!!

So many citizens still could not get enough to eat!
