Chapter 75 - You can buy anything that you like! (4)
"I got bored waiting for you for so long, so I went clothes shopping in the mall." Ji Qingqing gave him the name of a brand name store.
Lu Lixing grinded his teeth as he leashed his temper and marched towards that brand name clothing store.
It was an international first-tier store, and there were many new styles of clothes available. At this time, there weren\'t many customers in the store. In the past, Ji Qingqing wouldn\'t have even entered this store. And today, she was only browsing to pass the time and wasn\'t planning on buying anything. Even though she had a lot of money right now, the four-figure, five-figure, and six-figure price tags still made her feel the prices were prohibitively high.
When Lu Lixing arrived at the store, Ji Qingqing was currently looking at a skirt.
When the store employee saw him coming into the store, the store employee hastily went forward to welcome the new customer.
Lu Lixing waved the store employee away and strode over to Ji Qingqing.
-- "Ten minutes left."
Ji Qingqing saw him as soon as she turned around. Smiling, she asked, "You came? Why are you looking for me?"
Lu Lixing took a deep breath. "Do you like this skirt?"
Ji Qingqing looked at the price tag: six-figures!
She immediately shook her head. "I don\'t like it."
Lu Lixing pulled his stiff and restrained lips into a semblance of a gentle smile. "If you like it, I\'ll buy it for you. Just treat it as... a wedding gift."
Ji Qingqing looked at him doubtfully. "A wedding gift for me?"
Lu Lixing impressively said, "You can buy anything that you like here!"
Thinking how she had brought a belt for Lu Lixing and politeness required reciprocity, there was no reason to refuse Lu Lixing\'s offer.
Howeven, even though this skirt looked pretty, it was too expensive. The leather belt she had purchased wasn\'t that expensive. The prices of the skirt and belt were wildly disproportionate from each other. She couldn\'t take advantage of him.
And so, she kept browsing in the store with Lu Lixing following after her and watching her. She looked at this item and felt that item, but didn\'t settle on anything.
Lu Lixing had never gone shopping with a woman before. Even the clothes he was wearing were purchased by Aunty Pei. He felt incredulous as he watched Ji Qingqing shop. Why was she taking so long? How was it even possible to take that long?
She would check the collar, the cuffs, the inside, the length, the color, and the style. After looking at that piece of clothes for a long time, she would shake her head and then... put that piece of clothes back on the hanger.
Soon after, Lu Lixing could only watch as she left the clothing section that had six-figure price tags to the scarf section.
"..."
She wasn\'t buying anything?
She wasn\'t buying anything and still spent that long looking at those items?
Lu Lixing felt a growing headache.
"... Do you like scarves?"
Ji Qingqing browsed around in the scarf section for a while before finally selecting one with a classic pattern of this store’s brand. She was quite satisfied with her choice. "This one. I like this one."
Lu Lixing saw her choosing a scarf that only cost four-figures. "...There\'s nothing else that you like? Choose a few more scarves."
Ji Qingqing went back to browsing for more clothes to buy. Under Lu Lixing\'s encouraging and also persistent gaze, she chose a skirt that wasn\'t in the latest fashion, two outerwears, and an outdated bag.
She didn\'t choose anything too expensive and tried to choose items with reasonable prices. She wanted to avoid the possibility of being embarrassed when the store employee rang up her purchases at the end.
-- "Five minutes left."
Lu Lixing looked at the bits and pieces she had chosen and quickly did a mental calculation for the total. "You\'re not going to buy anymore?"
"It\'s enough. I don\'t need anymore." Ji Qingqing was already feeling a bit embarrassed. She estimated that stuff she had chosen already totaled up to six-figures while the leather belt she had brought for Lu Lixing only cost five-figures. How could she shamelessly spend so much of Lu Lixing\'s money?
Lu Lixing took a deep breath and pointed at one of nearby store employees. He announced, "Other than the items she took out, I\'ll buy everything else in the store."
