As for those dresses and cheongsams that she doesn't wear often, she only picked out a few with unique designs, just to keep as collectibles.

Of course, it goes without saying that I also bought dozens of sets of intimate clothing such as pajamas and loungewear – from silk, pure cotton, and coral fleece, to thin and thick styles, from simple to elaborate designs.

With the selection of clothing and jewelry complete, the next highlight of the shopping trip became choosing a bag.

Store managers from major brands have already displayed their latest and limited-edition bags, featuring a wide variety of styles, including glossy crocodile skin, matte lambskin, and vintage canvas, with colors ranging from classic black and white to Morandi shades, making it dazzling to look at.

Jiang Wenxi didn't even blink, tapping her fingertip lightly, her tone crisp and decisive.

"I want one of each color of this Kelly bag, and the leather must be the best."

"This hobo bag is only available in black and white, and the hardware should be matte."

"Remove the red color from this saddle bag, keep all other colors, and one of each size."

Her eye for detail was frighteningly accurate; she could judge the shape and practicality of a bag with just a glance, without needing the store manager to provide much explanation.

In just a short while, nearly a hundred bags were finalized, with styles for all kinds of occasions such as commuting, leisure, dinner, and sports. They were piled up on the open ground next to the bag, resembling a small mountain.

The shop assistants were busy, taking notes and checking information, but their faces were full of excitement—this was a major client of a top luxury brand, and one order was worth half a year's worth of their business.

The jewelry paired with the clothing is mostly basic and relatively affordable, used only to embellish the look. The truly heavyweight jewelry is something that store managers of major brands have always kept hidden away—these rare pieces, which often start at seven figures, are traditionally displayed one by one in front of distinguished guests as a sign of sufficient respect.

While the staff at other shops were calculating amounts and counting goods, the manager of Florence Jewelry quickly stepped forward with a velvet tray, bowed, and spoke with undisguised respect: "Ms. Jiang, in addition to the basic pieces we just showcased with your outfit, we've also brought a collection of rare, high-end jewelry. Would you be interested in seeing them to you?"

"Okay." Jiang Wenxi nodded slightly, her fingertips tracing the armrest of the sofa, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.

The shop manager immediately held his breath and carefully lifted the velvet cloth on the tray, revealing a dazzling light. He picked up the first piece of jewelry and handed it to Jiang Wenxi, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity: "Miss Jiang, please take a look at this South Sea gold bead bracelet."

Each gold bead is 14 millimeters in diameter, perfectly round and full, with a top-quality, rich golden hue, free of any impurities. It is paired with 18K white gold diamond-encrusted accessories, exuding both elegance and sophistication, and perfectly complementing your skin tone.

Jiang Wenxi reached out and took the bead. Her fingertips touched the cool texture of the bead; it was delicate and smooth, truly a rare and superior piece. She nodded, signaling him to continue.

Upon seeing this, the shop manager was delighted and quickly picked up the next item: "This is a Hetian jade pebble bracelet. It is made from top-grade pebble material from the Yulongkash River in Xinjiang. It has been hand-polished by an experienced craftsman. The beads are round and smooth, with a delicate and oily texture. It feels warm to the touch and is calming and nourishing to wear. It has great collectible value."

One piece of jewelry after another was presented, each one a true gem.

"Ruby and diamond earrings, with two 2-carat pigeon blood rubies as the main stones, extremely clear and dazzlingly bright. The surrounding diamonds are all top-cut, exuding luxury in simplicity. They can be worn for everyday wear or evening events."

"A 5-carat tourmaline ring, with vibrant and varied colors that refract different lusters under light, boasts exceptional fire and brilliance. The unique 18K gold setting is an exclusive design of our brand."

"A high-quality lapis lazuli necklace, with a pure imperial blue color, free of white veins and impurities, as deep as the night sky. Paired with gold and diamond accessories, it is elegant and sophisticated, and is especially suitable for pairing with cheongsams and evening gowns."

"The deep-sea red coral pendant is carved into the shape of a blooming peony. Its rich and lustrous color makes it a rare and exquisite piece. Paired with an 18K gold and diamond-set chain, it is delicate and graceful, showcasing the charm of the East."

"Tanzanite bracelet, with a deep blue main stone and white diamonds arranged alternately, 18K gold chain with smooth lines, wearing it on the wrist, every gesture is elegant."

"Golden green cat's eye earrings, with clear and bright cat's eye lines that move dynamically and vividly with the light. This quality of golden green cat's eye earrings is extremely rare and hard to find on the market."

"Rhodochrosite necklace, with pink main stone with natural white veins, like ink wash painting, gentle and romantic, paired with silver clasp and diamond pendant, fresh and beautiful, very suitable for everyday wear."

"An 8-carat aquamarine ring, with a color as clear and deep blue as the ocean, flawless in clarity, surrounded by a band of pink sapphires, and set in an 18K white gold band that makes the gemstone even more transparent and exudes an air of nobility."

"Moonstone bracelet, each moonstone shimmers with a soft blue halo under the light, like moonlight pouring down, romantic and charming, making the wearer look ethereal."

"This mother-of-pearl brooch is carved from natural mother-of-pearl into the shape of flower petals, with a 1-carat diamond set in the center and surrounded by colorful gemstones. It is lifelike and will make you stand out when you wear it on a coat or cheongsam."

Jiang Wenxi listened attentively, occasionally reaching out to pick up pieces of jewelry for a closer look, her fingertips tracing the patterns on the gemstones, feeling the texture of top-tier jewelry. In the end, she finalized her selection of nearly twenty-five pieces, including four complete sets that could be worn together, featuring bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings—enough to suit various occasions.

Looking at the marked jewelry list, the store manager's face beamed with joy, and he said repeatedly, "Miss Jiang, rest assured, we will deliver these jewels to the villa as soon as possible."

The selection process continued until after 1 p.m., when the sun outside gradually climbed to its zenith, and warm light streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a touch of warmth to the luxurious atmosphere of the room.

Jiang Kun had anticipated that his young mistress would be hungry, so he had prepared a large spread of food on the coffee table next to the sofa in advance. The crystal-clear fruits were cut neatly, each one plump and juicy; the delicate macarons and mousse cakes were arranged in exquisite shapes, their sweet aroma filling the air; and there was also a pot of warm Longjing tea, its fragrant aroma dispelling the fatigue of the selection process.

Jiang Wenxi was indeed a little hungry. She casually picked up a piece of strawberry mousse and put it in her mouth. The delicate cream melted on her tongue, sweet but not cloying. While she ate the dessert in small bites, she watched the staff of various brands walk quickly towards her with their payment slips.

The first to step forward was Zhou Ming, the store manager of Huanu Tianlun. He held a printed list in both hands and handed it to Jiang Wenxi. His tone was respectful but with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness: "Ms. Jiang, the total amount of the 30 coats, 30 tops, 20 pairs of pants, 20 skirts, and 35 pairs of shoes you selected, along with matching scarves, belts, and other accessories, is 1264 million."
