Chapter 102: Shopping

Zi Yi agreed to go shopping with Qin Yuqiao.

Before Lu Jingye separated from them, he specifically reminded her, “Don’t return too late.”

He was worried she would go to bars to play around on a whim.

However, it sounded different in the Qin Family siblings’ ears.

As soon as Zi Yi and Qin Yuqiao arrived at the famous street for the rich in the Capital, Qin Yuqiao impatiently asked her, “I wonder how long you have known Second Brother for?”

Zi Yi never expected Qin Yuqiao to bring her to a street that sold clothes, shoes, and bags. She found it boring and casually answered, “Not long.”

“Not long?”

Qin Yuqiao realized her voice was somewhat high. She hastily smiled and explained when Zi Yi glanced in her direction, “Sorry, I was just a little surprised.”

Zi Yi nodded and could be considered as having accepted her explanation.

The duo headed deeper into the street.

Having walked for a few steps, Qin Yuqiao asked again, “Your relationship with Second Brother seems a little different.”

“It’s just so-so.”

When Zi Yi saw Qin Yuqiao’s strange expression when she replied, she said, “You can directly ask what you want to ask?”

“It’s nothing… I was just curious. Even though Second Brother appears to be gentle and courteous to everyone, in fact, he keeps a distance from all females. When I saw Second Brother appearing rather close with you, it naturally made me think if there’s an unusual relationship between you two.”

“Unusual?” Zi Yi’s lips curled up.

It seems like Qin Yuqiao’s objective was to inquire about her relationship with Lu Jingye.

She replied, “There’s nothing unusual.”

Qin Yuqiao did not believe her, but she did not continue bringing up Lu Jingye. She shifted the topic and asked, “What brands do you like? Since we’re here shopping, we have to buy some things to bring back.”

When she heard her question, she recalled that all the original owner’s articles for daily use had been prepared by Li Peirong. After she arrived at the Capital, she had only purchased several new sets online.

“There’s nothing I like in particular. Those that I fancy will do.”

Qin Yuqiao was momentarily stunned before she smiled and said, “I thought that all your clothes were prepared by your family.”

Zi Yi looked at her and felt that there was a hidden meaning behind her words.

“My clothes are all customized by designers, but I am also fond of buying items I like when I go shopping.”

“If you’re unsure what brand of clothes to buy, should I recommend some to you?”

Zi Yi glanced at Qin Yuqiao who was suddenly enthusiastic and nodded. “Sure.”

Very soon, Qin Yuqiao brought Zi Yi into a shop with a particularly luxurious decor.

The clerk came over and greeted them. “Welcome, ladies.”

Qin Yuqiao said to the clerk, “Recommend us your signature designs of this season.”

“Sure, please follow me inside.”

They followed the clerk to the section where their signature designs were displayed and were invited to take a seat in the reception area. Tea was served before the clerk passed them an exquisite album for their perusal.

Qin Yuqiao passed the album to Zi Yi. “Take a look first. Let the clerk show us the real articles for those items you like and go ahead and purchase it if you like them.”

Zi Yi took the album without saying anything before she directly flipped through at a fast speed.

When Zi Yi was flipping through the album, Qin Yuqiao said, “You can choose first, I’ll be making a trip to the restroom first.”

After which, she carried her bag and walked towards the direction of the restroom under the clerk’s lead.

However, Qin Yuqiao did not head for the restroom. After they turned away from the reception area, she asked the clerk to call for their manager.

The manager immediately recognized her and respectfully asked, “Miss Qin, how may I be of service?”

Qin Yuqiao took out a card, handed it to the manager, and smiled as she said, “Charge all her purchases to my card.”

The manager sighed deep down over Miss Qin’s generosity and took the card. “I understand, Miss Qin.”
