    The store manager stood nearby, asking in a gentle tone, “Ma’am, this color really suits you, don’t you


    think?”

    Celeste nodded, asking, “How much is this one?”


    “$788, but we have a 5% discount for members.”


    Celeste checked the tag. “Polyester fabric, doesn’t quite match up with the price.”


    The female clerk nearby seemed to see an opportunity to mock Celeste, mocking, “If you think it’s too


    expensive just say so, if you can’t afford it, why make excuses?”


    Liam was about to say something when Celeste grabbed his wrist


    With their years of tacit understanding, he instantly knew that Celeste didn’t want him to interfere.


    Liam stared at the clerk, his face tense, his lips sealed, and said nothing.


    The store manager scolded the clerk a little, and then turned to Celeste with a smile, “This is the price


    in all our stores. If it’s beyond your budget, you can check out the discounted clothes by the entrance,


    they’re more affordable.”


    The clerk was even more blunt, urging, “If you can’t afford it, change quickly, I have to attend to the


    next customer, can you not waste time?”


    Liam red at her, “Who said we can’t afford it? Pack it all up for me.”


    The manager was stunned, “You.. you mean pack it all up?”


    Celeste said, “Yes, everything I just tried on, pack it all up.”


    The clerk’s face was full of astonishment, and the manager urged, “What are you waiting for, go check


    out for thisdy!”


    The clerk hurried off to fetch the clothes.


    Celeste stopped her, “Wait”


    The manager reacted quickly, “Do you want me to get you another clerk?”


    Celeste smiled, “No, she’s fine.”


    She picked up a box of socks from the disy next to her and asked, “How much are these?”


    The clerk replied, “$9 for two pairs”


    Celeste picked up two pairs of socks and followed her to the checkout.


    As the clerk scanned the barcodes, Celeste leaned over to y with her phone.


    Seven pieces of women’s clothing, totaling over six thousand dors, the clerk finished checking,


    looked up and asked, “Cash, credit card, or PayPal?”


    Celeste looked up, “Do you think six thousand dors is expensive?”


    The clerk hesitated for a moment, then whispered, “Yes, expensive.”


    “I think it’s expensive too, so let’s not.” Celeste handed her the two pairs of socks, “Just check these


    out for me.”


    The clerk was taken aback, her face changed.


    “Are you joking?”


    Celeste smiled, “Your performance was really good, better than your manager’s, you just picked the


    wrong target. I can ept a slightly higher price when I go shopping, but I don’t like to be trapped and


    treated like a fool. My partner doesn’t look like a fool, does he? Why do you think his money is easy to


    fool?”


    Both the clerk and the manager were stunned, this was not what they had expected


    Celeste tapped on the counter, “Can I check out? If not, can you, the manager, help me with it?”


    After paying the bill and leaving the store, Liam was still a little dazed.


    Celeste picked up a pair of socks and examined them carefully, thenplimented, “The quality of


    these socks is not bad.” She took out a pair of men’s socks and handed them to Liam, “Here are the


    matching ones you wanted”


    Liam was speechless.
