His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 974 - 282 He wanted to support her_2

It was mid-morning when a wealthy lady rushed in from outside, looking visibly anxious.

"Welcome, is there anything I can help you with...?"

"Stop wasting time! Take me to pick out a dress immediately. Hurry, I have a cocktail party to attend at eleven thirty!"

The woman seemed to be in her early forties, slender but with less-than-perfect skin. Her demeanor suggested she was no amateur.

She might not be in great health, possibly recuperating at home when an unexpected call from someone important disrupted her.

"Alright, please follow me this way!"

The staff member wasn’t bothered about being interrupted and kept a polite smile, gesturing for the customer to follow her deeper into the boutique.

Qin Mu’s eyes reflexively followed the silhouette as it moved.

The gowns were displayed at the very front on the left, perfectly positioned where Qin Mu could see the woman repeatedly trying on various dresses. She was visibly tense.

"Which one am I supposed to wear?"

The wealthy lady fretted, her brows furrowed tightly, making her complexion appear even paler.

"What about this black one? It accentuates your figure."

"Black? Black? Sure, let me try it on!"

Black looked great, but given her current poor complexion, Qin Mu exchanged a quick glance with the boutique owner, who came over. "What’s wrong?"

"Do we have any makeup kits here?"

Qin Mu asked casually.

"There’s one set I brought in a few days ago. Nothing high-end, though. Do you need it?"

"It’s not for me!"

Qin Mu replied, her gaze fixed on the woman.

The lady tried a blue dress next. Her figure was stunning—slender and perfect for qipao—but her complexion was poor, and her hair was unkempt.

The boutique owner immediately understood Qin Mu’s intent and fetched an enormous makeup box.

Qin Mu silently admired the owner’s resourcefulness. This way, customers with urgent engagements wouldn’t have to scramble—they could handle everything right here in the shop.

"Suggest she try the pale blue one, the one with pink embroidery," Qin Mu instructed.

"Got it!"

The boutique owner nodded. She remembered the pale blue qipao, a refined design perfect for someone with a slim body and narrow frame.

After a while, the woman emerged from the fitting room wearing the qipao. Even with her disheveled hair, her complexion seemed noticeably brighter.

Of course, the qipao deserved partial credit.

"If you’re in a rush for your event, I can offer a complimentary makeup session. It’s worth mentioning, though, the products aren’t luxury ones."

"Really? Right now, I’m not picky! If you do a good job, I’ll gift you a luxury set after the event!"

The wealthy lady exclaimed.

Qin Mu overheard this and bowed her head deliberately, trying not to laugh out loud.

The boutique owner glanced at Qin Mu, then turned back, gracefully nodding to the lady, inviting her to sit on the nearby sofa before unpacking the makeup kit to assist her.

While they were busy, Qin Mu discreetly ventured inward, selecting an ivory coat before stepping back out.

After finishing the makeup and tidying the woman’s hair, the boutique owner completed the look. Qin Mu stood off to the side, arms draped with a coat, quietly waiting.

A staff member watched from the sidelines and thought the lady would likely become one of their VIP clients after receiving such queen-like treatment.

The wealthy lady glanced up and saw Qin Mu standing nearby. She froze momentarily, then instinctively noticed the coat on Qin Mu’s arm, still adorned with a price tag. She glanced at Qin Mu again.

There was an unexplained familiarity.

"Are you... a movie actress?"

The wealthy lady hesitated, puzzled as she asked.

"You could say I’ve done a few commercials before," Qin Mu replied with a casual smile.

Hearing such an understated answer, the lady felt it didn’t align with the memory in her mind.

"I may spend years at home caring for a sick elder, but that doesn’t mean I’m disconnected from the world. Are you sure you’re just someone who’s done a few commercials?"

The lady turned to the boutique owner.

The boutique owner maintained a polite smile, briefly glancing at Qin Mu. Noticing Qin Mu’s preference for low profile, she simply said, "She’s the owner of this boutique."

The wealthy lady hadn’t even heard of the shop before.

So she figured she must have made a mistake.

"Try on this one!"

The wealthy lady stood up, and Qin Mu unfolded the coat.

"Aren’t you worried I won’t be able to pay?"

Considering how disordered she had looked when she first arrived.

"Even if you can’t pay, I could lease it to you," Qin Mu replied softly with a smile. The lady extended her arm, and Qin Mu helped her into the coat.
