Liang lying on the ground unconscious. The scissors were still in his hand."So fast" Li Ping exclaimed from the doorway in disbelief.Even though Li Ping had seen Xia Tian's skills, he never imagined t...Chapter 1253: Summer Brand Perfume

An Keke and Sun Xinxin's shopping trip was still purely for enjoyment, having spent nearly an hour without buying anything. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it or there were no things they liked; it was simply that they didn't want to buy anything. They were enjoying the pleasure of shopping rather than the satisfaction of purchasing.

"Wow, Xinxin姐, the new summer clothing line has arrived!" Upon entering a clothing mall, An Keke's eyes lit up immediately. It was still March at this time, so it was somewhat early for summer, but the weather had been quite unpredictable lately. During the day, temperatures could get close to twenty degrees Celsius, making it suitable to wear summer clothes. Occasionally on the streets, one could see women dressed in black stockings and short skirts.

"That dress is very pretty!" Sun Xinxin was also moved by this sight. Then, these two beauties promptly left their husbands behind and rushed towards the dresses.

The dress they were eyeing was a chiffon skirt. The girls' tastes surprisingly aligned; they both liked the same style. However, while Sun Xinxin's figure was more mature and full-figured, compared to her, An Keke appeared much slimmer and petite. It was clear that one size wouldn't suit their needs.

Fortunately, there were several sizes available for this style of dress, from big to small. The two women tried on the same款式裙子一次又一次地試給夏天看，看得夏天都有點眼花繚亂的感覺。

"Honey, do I look good"

"Summer, do you think it looks nice"

Once again, the two women came out of the fitting room and stood in front of Xia Tian at the same time.

"They look good, but I can't tell you apart," Xia Tian casually remarked.

"Ah" Both women exclaimed in surprise, then said simultaneously, "Let's change again!"

Ten minutes later.

The two women appeared once more before Xia Tian.

"Husband, can you tell us apart now"

"Xia Tian, do we look the same to you now"

Xia Tian looked up and noticed that their clothes were indeed different this time. The style was still the same, and both outfits featured a black-and-white color scheme. An Keke had a white top with a black skirt, while Sun XinXin’s outfit had a black top but a white skirt. This way, even though they both wore black and white, their appearances were clearly distinct, making it easy to tell them apart.

"It's different now." Xia Tian nodded. In fact, even if they were wearing the same clothes, he wouldn't be able to confuse them because their appearances and figures were completely different. Actually, he could distinguish them with his eyes closed due to their distinct body scents. What he said earlier was just a casual remark; he didn't expect them to take it seriously.

"Hehe, then we'll buy this one!" An Keke was very happy.

“Mm-hmm, let's get this one.” Sun Xinxin also nodded.

Finally, when it was close to 1 PM after two hours of shopping, Sun Xinxin and An Keke each bought a dress. This time, their shopping trip wasn't in vain.

What even Xia Tian didn't expect was that not only did they buy the dresses, but they also put them on right away. As a result, when they walked out of the mall leaning against him minutes later, it attracted more attention than ever. It looked like he was showing off two beauties, one in black and the other in white!

“Shall we go for lunch now” Sun Xinxin suggested.

"Sure! I'm a bit hungry." An Keke nodded immediately.

So Xia Tian followed them into an Asian-Western fusion restaurant on the pedestrian street without voicing his opinion.

"Xin Xin Sun What a coincidence!" As soon as they entered the restaurant, someone immediately greeted Xin Xin Sun. This person was none other than Kong Ming.

"Summer, you were shopping with Xin Xin Sun" Kong Ming then spotted Summer and continued to greet him. At last, she saw Keke An, "Oh wow, are you Keke An I'm your fan!"

"Don't believe her; she's lying." Xin Xin Sun smiled gently, "She only likes male celebrities."

Kong Ming was instantly displeased: "Hey, Xin Xin Sun, you're not being very brotherly, are you How can you undermine me like this"

"Kong Ming, were you also shopping here" Instead of continuing to argue about loyalty with Kong Ming, Xin Xin Sun merely glanced at the few people sitting with Kong Ming and casually asked.

There were three other people sitting with Kong Ming: two men and one woman. One of them was someone Xin Xin Sun knew—Kong Ming's boyfriend Lan Ze. The other pair, however, Xin Xin Sun had never seen before. The girl appeared to be quite young, in her early twenties, while the man seemed much older, likely past thirty. The woman looked fairly good-looking; truthfully speaking, she was more attractive and had a better figure than Kong Ming. However, the man's appearance was rather ordinary and he also seemed to have put on some weight.

From their attire alone, it appeared that both of them were quite wealthy. The woman wore a diamond necklace around her neck and dazzling diamond rings on her hands. As for the man, just his wristwatch alone was worth over ten thousand yuan.

"Oh right, Xin Xin Sun, let me introduce you: this is my cousin Kong Jiao, and this is my cousin's boyfriend, Mr. Liang." Kong Ming finally remembered she was hosting guests as well, "Jiaojiao, this is the classmate I told you about—my company boss Xin Xin Sun. This here is Summer, her boyfriend; and over there, you should know her, big star Keke An."

"Miss An, hello, I'm Liang Chen." Then Mr. Liang immediately stood up and greeted An Keke, but as for Xia Tian and Sun Xinxin, this fellow who claimed to be Liang Chen ignored them.

"An Keke, yes, I've heard of you, an A-list star on the mainland. However, I mostly stay in Hong Kong, so I don't know many stars from the mainland," said that woman named Kong Jiao with a sly tone, "I'm quite familiar with Joey and Andy [referring to Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat], though. My dear cousin, let me tell you, these stars on the mainland aren't really A-listers; it's only those Hong Kong big shots who can truly be called stars."

"Cough...cough..." Kong Ming coughed a couple of times, looking rather awkward then somewhat sheepishly at Sun Xinxin. "Well, you guys should go eat first. I won't bother your date."

"Please take a seat over here," the waiter came over and led Xia Tian and the others to sit in an empty spot not too far away.

"What kind of person is that Clearly from the mainland, but pretending like she's from Hong Kong, even acting superior just like those people from Hong Kong." An Keke rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed by what Kong Jiao had said before. "If it weren't for not wanting to bother with such a person, I would have hit her!"

"Keke, forget about it; don't mind that kind of person," Sun Xinxin tried to console An Keke.

An Keke nodded but didn't say anything more. However, the table where they were sitting was actually quite close to Kong Ming's group, so they could still hear what was being said there.

Listening in, they heard Kong Jiao boasting again to Kong Ming: "Cousin, I have to tell you, things abroad are really different from those on the mainland. Those actors and actresses here in Hong Kong are just more capable than their counterparts on the mainland... what Hong Kong has is also better than what's available there..."

"Aggie, Hong Kong is not a foreign country." Kong Ming couldn't help but retort.

"Not a foreign country Then do you need a passport to go to Hong Kong Yes, right Can you stay in Hong Kong for as long as you want then No, right Let me tell you, Hong Kong is actually a foreign place. Don't say I'm blindly admiring the West; I've lived both on the mainland and in Hong Kong. Frankly speaking, Hong Kong is better than the mainland. Hey, Senior Aunt, now that you have your own company and money, listen to me—emigrate to Hong Kong! It's way better here..." Kong Jiao spoke confidently, but Kong Ming found herself unable to refute her points. Although what she said was harsh, some of it was indeed true—going to Hong Kong is just like going abroad.

It was actually Liang Chen who couldn't help but advise Kong Jiao at this moment: "Aggie, don't talk like that. There are many places on the mainland that are better than Hong Kong. Hong Kong isn't a foreign country; we're all Chinese. If others hear you say these things, it won't be good."

"What's there to fear I'm just stating facts. I don't believe anyone can do anything about what I say!" Kong Jiao was indifferent and then turned to look at Kong Ming: "Hey, Senior Aunt, this time I've brought you a great gift—a Summer brand perfume, which is the best imported fragrance now. Did you know It costs HKD20,000 per bottle now. Of course, HKD20,000 isn't much. But such perfumes aren't available on the mainland; they can only be bought overseas. See That's one of the differences between the mainland and Hong Kong—Hong Kong has everything to buy, whereas the mainland lacks so many things..."

"Chu!" An uncontrollable giggle interrupted Kong Jiao's speech. Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the laughter only to find An Keke rolling around with laughter, eventually lying on Xia Tian.

"Keke, when did you become so happy" Xia Tian was somewhat puzzled.

"Hehe, dear husband, I'm dying laughing! That Kong Jiao just made me laugh so hard. Talking about imported perfumes that can't be bought domestically... hahaha, it's too funny..." An Keke said while still laughing heartily as if she had encountered the funniest thing in the world.

"Why are you laughing Did I say something wrong" Kong Jiao looked at An Keke with some annoyance.a Tian. However, if you want someone to come and beg at your feet, isn't it a bit too extreme""Uncle Er, if you think having others beg me is inappropriate, then you can do it on their behalf," Qiao X...
