My Celestial Ascension-Chapter 507: Shopping
Lady Natasha took a deep breath to calm her mind, looked at Mireya with a small smile on her beautiful face, and asked, "Mireya, do you mind telling me who these incredible people are with you? I don't think I've seen them with you before. I'm very curious. Moreover, this young man is too handsome… I never thought you'd be interested in a man.
This is indeed a surprise." Lady Natasha said, looking at Yuan with a sly smile on her face, intrigued by Yuan's handsome appearance.
"Well, allow me to introduce them to you, Lady Natasha. You can take them as my family," Mireya smiled back at her before introducing Yuan with a wide grin on her face. "This handsome guy here is Yuan, and don't get charmed by his handsome appearance, 'cause he is my husband…!"
"H-Husband?!" Lady Natasha looked at Mireya with wide-open eyes.
Mireya's words hung heavy in the air. It was almost unbelievable for Lady Natasha. The woman who hated men the most now has a husband? What kind of joke is this?
'I can't believe this woman got herself a young and handsome husband... This is too shocking even for me!' Lady Natasha cried inwardly, seemingly in disbelief.
Seeing the look on Lady Natasha's face, Mireya couldn't help but grin widely. She was feeling satisfied seeing the current look on this 'arrogant' woman.
With a wide, playful grin on her face, Mireya said, "Lady Natasha, you seem to be doubting my words. Can I take it that you don't believe the fact that Yuan is my husband?"
"Well, it's not that I'm doubting you, my dear good friend. It is simply too hard to believe that a woman as cold-hearted as you could get herself a handsome husband, Lady Mireya." Lady Natasha smiled awkwardly, feeling very surprised and confused about the situation.
When her servant told her that Mireya wanted to meet her, she only thought that Mireya had come along with her assistant, but she never expected her to bring a husband and her family along with her for shopping.
"Since this handsome and charming individual is your husband, who could these lovely ladies be?" Lady Natasha asked, curiosity evident in her eyes as she observed the ladies from head to toe.
"Well, except for the lady with the young girl, everyone else is my sister, and one of them is my mother-in-law." Mireya quickly responded with a proud smile on her face, as if she had been waiting for this moment.
Then she pulled Anna Grace closer and with a smile on her face, said, "Lady Natasha, this is my mother-in-law, Anna Grace…"
After introducing Anna Grace to Lady Natasha, Mireya began introducing the others one by one. At the end, she introduced Miss Zara and her daughter to her.
"It's an honor to be able to meet you, Lady Natasha. I've heard quite a lot about you, and you're quite famous in the entire capital city." Miss Zara greeted her with a slight bow, showing her respect for a noblewoman.
"It's a pleasure meeting you, Miss Zara," Lady Natasha nodded with a smile, then looked at Little Zoe and couldn't help but be surprised by the cuteness of the little girl. "Wow! Your daughter is quite adorable, Miss Zara! You're so lucky to have such a beautiful and adorable daughter… I feel jealous."
"Thank you for your praise, Lady Natasha." Miss Zara let out a proud smile and looked at her daughter with a smile.
Then she looked at Mireya, took a deep breath, and said, "I-I never thought you'd marry a person who already has multiple wives… I'm speechless at this moment."
"Well, I already anticipated this kind of reaction from you before coming here." Mireya giggled.
The entire room fell silent. No one spoke as Lady Natasha had a hard time digesting so much shocking information, looking dumbfounded, almost as though she were having a dream and this was all just an illusion.
Unfortunately for her, everything was real.
'Sigh, I thought I'd get myself a husband before this bitch… but this bitch was so sly that she beat me to it, damn it!' Lady Natasha cried inwardly, feeling very frustrated and confused.
A few seconds later, Lady Natasha asked, "So, Lady Mireya, why did you all come to my shop today?"
"Well, we're here to buy something to wear to the banquet tomorrow. After all, we can't wear something casual for such a grand banquet, can we?" Before Mireya could open her mouth to speak, Anna Grace spoke with a light smile on her beautiful face.
"Oh, are you guys also invited to the banquet? Why am I not surprised anymore?" Lady Natasha looked at Yuan and his wives with a surprised smile and chuckled.
"We're personally invited by the King himself," Yuan replied in a calm voice. Even though he didn't speak louder, his voice resounded through the entire room.
"T-The King invited you guys?" Lady Natasha looked at Yuan and his wives with a dumbfounded look on her face after hearing this.
'The king himself invited them? Just who are these people?' Lady Natasha could not help but wonder about Yuan and his wives' identity.
"That's right. And since the king personally invited us for such a big occasion, we didn't want to appear there looking like clowns," Lily responded with a smile. "Thus, we're here, at your prestigious shop which is famous for the high-quality fabric and unique design of the clothes."
"I see… In that case, I'm happy to offer my assistance in choosing the best attire for you guys. I'm confident that the clothes I'm going to show you are definitely up to your tastes," Lady Natasha said with a smile a moment later.
"Before looking for the clothes, how about we chat for a while over tea? Does that sound good?" Lady Natasha asked.
"I think it's a wonderful idea. And besides, we have nothing else to do today," Anna Grace replied with a smile.
After that, Lady Natasha called out to a servant and ordered the servant to prepare tea and snacks for the esteemed guests. The servant quickly headed out of the private room.
Shortly, the servant returned with premium tea and high-quality snacks that the nobles enjoyed and placed them on the expensive table, which was made using wood from a very rare tree.
"You can leave us alone now." Lady Natasha ordered her servant to leave the private room while she chatted with Yuan and his wives.
They chatted about various interesting things, and Miss Zara and Lady Natasha shared some of their ideas with one another. The two seemed to get along really well despite the big difference in their status.
A few moments later, Lady Natasha stood up and said, "Now let's go. I'll show you guys some of the best designer dresses with the best quality fabric. However, I'm reminding you guys that they're not cheap."
"Don't worry, money isn't a problem for us," Yuan said with a smile, causing Lady Natasha to raise her brows after hearing his response.
"In that case, let's not waste any more time." With that, Lady Natasha led them toward the section where some of the most expensive dresses were displayed.
The section was situated on the third floor of the building, just below them. They arrived there in just a few minutes, taking their time to look around.
"This is the section where the dresses made from premium quality fabric are displayed, the entire floor to be exact. There are a variety of them," Lady Natasha informed them.
Then she turned around and said, "You're free to look around and find the one you think will suit you best. There is also a trial room, so you can try them on before buying them."
"I see… In that case, we won't be polite anymore," Mireya said with a wide grin.
After that, they all decided to go separately to look for their ideal outfits. Miss Zara was hesitating, so Lily tagged along with her to make her feel at ease.
"Mr. Yuan, aren't you also looking for a new outfit for the grand banquet?" Lady Natasha asked, seeing Yuan staying with her and not tagging along with his wives.
"Well, I've already found the right outfit for me. The only thing left is to pick it up." Yuan looked at her and said with a mysterious smile.
'Already found the right outfit? What is he even talking about? He was with us the whole time; when did he look for an outfit?' Lady Natasha was very confused after hearing his words and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Then shall we go and pick it up?" Lady Natasha asked, really curious to know if Yuan was telling the truth or pulling her leg.
"Of course, it's only a few meters away." Yuan nodded with a smile and led her to where the outfit he chose was being displayed.
Lady Natasha curiously followed him without hesitation. To her, Yuan appeared as a mysterious and very handsome young man who could charm any woman with a weak will.
Besides, she was also curious why Mireya chose Yuan to be her husband despite him having multiple wives. After all, she didn't believe that Mireya fell for his good looks alone.
"That's the outfit I'm talking about... the fabric used to make this outfit is quite good, and it's simple-looking too, which I personally prefer." Upon arriving at the male section of clothes, Yuan pointed toward a particular outfit that was displayed.
The outfit had a very minimal design, with simple-looking embroidery in gold thread. The outfit was black and made from a very rare fabric with natural fire resistance.
'Amazing! But how did he do it?' Lady Natasha pondered, almost too surprised by the outfit.
"This outfit may appear simple, but it is indeed made from a very rare kind of fabric, and the price is quite high too. Mr. Yuan indeed has good taste in outfits," Lady Natasha said with a smile. Though she was curious about how he located this specific outfit, she couldn't ask him outright.
"As I mentioned earlier, money isn't a problem for me. So, pack this outfit for me." Yuan said with a slight arrogance in his tone, which matched his personality.
