She lazily glanced at the big mirror and saw her reflection. She was wearing a floral long sleeve dress that covers her neck. The pattern is mixed with tan and light blue hue. As she remembers it was called Super Eight Lantern Mini dress from Zimerwoman .
She suddenly have the energy and inspiration to shop. She wanted more of their collection and she wouldn't let Hongqi buy more of them for her. She must buy the things she loves on her own.
So she decided to check the new Zimerwoman branch in UU mall. She quickly took her branded sunglasses and bag then went out of the penthouse.
The afternoon weather was so calming and cloudy. People seem to be in a rush and she can hear some random female squeals from afar. She remembered that Dandan said something that someone who is super handsome and popular is in the area.
After 30 minutes of walking, she's now finally in the Zimerwoman boutique. She took her time browsing the new collection and bought thirty dresses from the shop. She's putting all her pent-up stress in shopping. This is the first time she shopped so many clothes from a luxury brand.
"I currently don't have anyone to help me carry the other paper bags. May I ask if the shop can deliver these instead?" Xiulan kindly asked the cashier lady. She can only bring ten paper bags with her. She has small hands and too much heavy stuff to carry might stress the wound in her back from her previous fall. It already healed but she was only being careful.
"Yes, Mrs. Xing. We can deliver this. Please write the address where you want it to be sent and also your number so we can notify you." The cashier lady explained.
Xiulan prettily wrote on the paper and left the boutique. She was not in the mood to go home yet. Even though she was carrying a lot of paper bags, she still went to the computer store.
UU mall is a posh and luxury mall so the shops there most likely only have few customers. In the computer store, the male staff were afraid to approach Xiulan due to Xing Hongqi's threats. The Xing family owns this mall and Hongqi added a weird and childish protocol that any man was not allowed to be close to his wife while she shops. So they didn't bother to follow around the beautiful Mrs. Xing.
Xiulan was busy reading the specs of the new motherboards, memory cards and graphic cards. She wanted to build another PC again that can render graphics smoothly. Her full attention was all over these computer parts when she suddenly smelled something fragrant.
She glanced at the person beside her and saw a very handsome man with sunglasses and black baseball cap. His face was really pale but glowing, his hair was also platinum blond. He was wearing a vertical black and white stripes long sleeved shirt with a black inner t-shirt. Very fashionable for a commoner so he might be someone from the upper class.
Due to his attire, Xiulan understood that he was obviously in a disguise. Xiulan quickly let go of her stare and minded her own business. She doesn't want to involve herself to any popular men. Her husband is already enough, she doesn't want any more headaches.
She crouched to get a good look on the items below. She may be wearing a dress but she doesn't care, she has shorts inside.
Suddenly, the handsome man approached her and asked "Beautiful miss, may I ask what is the best motherboard that I can purchase?" His voice was velvety and smoky to the ears. His voice has that mysterious feel in it. He's wearing sunglasses but she can feel his penetrating stare on her.
Xiulan stand up and glanced at her surroundings. "It's better if you ask someone from the store. I'm not particularly good at this." She gave him a humble smile. "I can call them for you."
The handsome pale man didn't answer but only stared back at her for so long. Xiulan can't endure his piercing gaze so she awkwardly smiled at him and humbled herself to get away from him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
"I may have to excuse myself. If you need any help you may ask the staff. I will go first." She said and quickly retreated the damn store. She can't handle the intense gaze coming from that man. It was both flattering and creepy in some way.
When she's a few steps away from the computer store, she can hear a man shouting. "Beautiful miss! Beautiful miss!" She glanced back and saw the handsome pale man running after her.
He stopped his tracks and he was slightly heaving. "May I ask if you are my brother Hongqi's dear wife?" He charmingly beamed at her. Xiulan doesn't get what this man is up to. He kept smiling and it creeps her out.
"Yes, I am. And you are?" Xiulan asked back. She can't lie and it's futile not to admit that she's not Hongqi's wife. Her face had been all over the internet and showbiz section of articles for a year now.
"I am Han Pierre. I am close friends with your husband. Nice to meet you. I would like to ask you if we can have a quick dinner together." He invited and he still has that annoying handsome yet creepy smile on his face. He offered his hand for a handshake.
Xiulan's woman instincts is telling her that this man is dangerous but this is the first time that Hongqi's friend approached her to have dinner. She's aware that Hongqi threatened his male friends not to be friends with her, but this guy is trying to disobey that 'bro-code'.
She awkwardly shook his hands and tried to muster the most charming smile she can give. She must not let this man know that she's nervous of his presence.
"Han Pierre. I kept hearing his name all throughout the day and now he finally appeared in front of me. He's also close to that haughty husband. What kind of bad luck is this?" She secretly grumbled.
"My husband is very strict in eating dinner together. So I have to decline your dinner invitation. But if you don't mind, we can have quick chat in a tea shop." Xiulan kindly offered. "Hell no, I want to eat dinner with you." she subconsciously disagreed.
"I see. I didn't know that Hongqi likes to eat dinner with women. He usually just eat meat and leave." He ambiguously remarked. He didn't even care that Xiulan made a disgusted face on his remarks. They were still holding hands and his grip was very tight. Xiulan can't even pull her hands. If she tries to forcefully pull her hands, she might look rude. There are people looking and she must not lose her cool in a public place.
"What is this weirdo trying to do here? Is he trying to provoke me?" She's really annoyed of this predicament she's currently in.
