Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1178 Changing clothes

Jiang Xiaochuan touched his nose and explained somewhat awkwardly, "She... mistook your outfit for... a uniform for playing with."

"Playing with uniforms?"

Tang Ran frowned even more, her eyes filled with confusion. "What is a 'play uniform'?"

Jiang Xiaochuan saw that she looked blank, clearly unaware of the common concept of "playing with uniforms".

He couldn't help but think that she was adorably naive, and wondered how long this woman had been confined to the mountains to be so ignorant of these worldly matters.

"that is……"

Jiang Xiaochuan racked his brains but couldn't think of a way to explain the complexities of worldly affairs to this "iceberg." In the end, he could only vaguely say, "In short, it's a misunderstanding. We can just go to another place."

Tang Ran didn't speak, but looked down at her outfit—she had worn this outfit for many years, it was convenient and efficient when carrying out missions, and she had never felt there was any problem with it. She never expected that it would become a "trouble" in this city.

Fortunately, after several twists and turns, the two finally found a hotel to stay in.

For martial artists like Jiang Xiaochuan and Tang Ran, sleeping outdoors is nothing unusual.

But deep down, Jiang Xiaochuan always believed that humans are not beasts and need a private space to shelter them from the wind and rain.

This obsession with his dwelling seemed to be etched into his very being—a place without a roof meant danger and unease.

After a night's rest, Jiang Xiaochuan's doubts not only did not dissipate, but became even clearer.

Xuanjizi's unusual preferential treatment was like a thorn in his heart, and the "personal bodyguard" sent by Yan Lü was restricting him in every way.

"I need to find a way to get rid of this woman."

Jiang Xiaochuan rolled out of bed, having made up his mind. He would deliberately expose his whereabouts to lure the snake out of its hole.

To force those lurking Japanese ninjas to reveal themselves, thus ending this unpleasant surveillance as soon as possible.

Just as he pushed open the door, he was surprised to find Tang Ran standing outside.

"Don't tell me you've been standing here all night."

Jiang Xiaochuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a sense of helplessness, like someone who couldn't shake off a piece of chewing gum.

If this woman used her persistence to deal with the ninja clan, even Hattori Hanzo would have a headache. But using it to keep an eye on him is just troublesome.

"Just came out."

Tang Ran's voice remained cold and emotionless.

Disturbed by Jiang Xiaochuan, she turned around and looked out the window again, her eyes now brighter.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Xiaochuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, a young couple walked out of the next room.

The girl, dressed in a fashionable dress, curiously looked at Tang Ran's black outfit and exchanged a meaningful glance with her boyfriend.

"Are people still dressing like this these days...?"

The girl lowered her voice, her tone tinged with mockery.

"That's so exciting! Let's try it next time..."

"Get out of here..."

"Give it a try..."

The two voices faded into the distance. Jiang Xiaochuan stole a glance at Tang Ran and saw that she looked calm. He couldn't tell if she hadn't understood or had reached a state of indifference.

He glanced at the bustling street outside the window; more and more pedestrians were appearing in the morning light, and indeed, no one else was dressed like Tang Ran.

"Let's go."

Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly spoke.

"Where are you going?" Tang Ran looked at him warily.

"Buy clothes."

Jiang Xiaochuan said, and took the lead towards the elevator.

"Your outfit is too eye-catching."

Jiang Xiaochuan pointed out the window and explained, "Nobody dresses like that here."

"I... I'm used to it."

Tang Ran pursed her lips.

"Habits can be changed."

Jiang Xiaochuan walked up to her. "You don't want to be stared at like a monkey wherever you go, do you? More importantly—"

He lowered his voice, "If you're going to stick to me like this, would any ninja dressed like this dare to get close to me?"

Tang Ran's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Thinking of the task Xuanjizi had given her, she remained silent for a moment before finally following after him.

Instead of choosing an ordinary shopping mall, Jiang Xiaochuan took a taxi directly to "Yunshang International," the most upscale shopping center in Beijing.

The huge glass curtain wall gleamed in the morning sun, and all the customers coming in and out were dressed smartly.

"Coming here is too conspicuous."

Tang Ran paused slightly at the magnificent entrance.

Jiang Xiaochuan said matter-of-factly, "If we're going to change, let's change to the best. I don't want anyone to think I'm petty."

Jiang Xiaochuan naturally wouldn't tell Tang Ran that there was a Japanese settlement nearby.

Koji Takeda and his group are very likely hiding here. It would be best to lure them out and capture them all at once.

Of course, there's also that old devil Hattori Hanzo in charge. Jiang Xiaochuan doesn't think he has that ability, but he's confident he can get away.

At that time, Yan Lü will know the exact whereabouts of these Japanese, and dealing with them will be easy.

Watching Jiang Xiaochuan walk through the revolving door, Tang Ran took a breath and followed. She had never been to a place like this before.

Upon entering, the refreshing scent of the air conditioning wafted over, and the smooth, mirror-like marble floor reflected their figures, one in front of the other.

Tang Ran's black outfit stood out conspicuously in this environment, immediately attracting many curious glances.

Jiang Xiaochuan walked straight into an elegant women's clothing store.

The store is dimly lit, and the clothes on the racks are neatly arranged by color scheme.

A well-dressed saleswoman approached with a smile, her gaze shifting between Jiang Xiaochuan and Tang Ran before finally settling on Jiang Xiaochuan: "Sir, are you choosing clothes for your girlfriend?"

Jiang Xiaochuan neither admitted nor denied it, but simply pointed at Tang Ran and said, "Help her pick out a few suitable outfits."

The sales assistant smiled knowingly, then turned to Tang Ran with admiration in her eyes: "This young lady has such a great presence. Our newly arrived styles will definitely suit you perfectly."

Tang Ran disliked this feeling of being arranged for her, and she disliked the shop assistant's ambiguous gaze even more. She said coldly, "I am not his girlfriend."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Xiaochuan with a questioning gaze.

The shop assistant is experienced and knowledgeable; in this situation, the person is either being taken advantage of or on their way to being taken advantage of.

He then smiled even more meaningfully: "I understand, I understand. You're friends, after all."

"They are indeed friends."

Fearing that this fierce girl might suddenly lose her temper, Jiang Xiaochuan leaned closer to Tang Ran and whispered, "Since you're going to be staying in the capital for a while, you should do as the Romans do. Your clothes are too conspicuous wherever you go."

Tang Ran looked around and, through the bright glass wall, she could see the curious glances from pedestrians on the street outside.

Indeed, she has been an outlier along the way.

"casual."

She turned her face away; Jiang Xiaochuan was too close.

Seeing that Tang Ran didn't object, the shop assistant, being very perceptive, immediately brought over a few items of clothing: "Miss, why don't you try this silk shirt and pencil pants? They're both comfortable and elegant. Or this dress, the cut is very unique..."

Tang Ran looked at the clothes, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
