These are black high heels, which complement Lin Qingying's black stockings—oops, I mean, they complement her legs.

Lin Qingying stood up and tried it, then nodded to Xie Wei, who then called over a shop assistant to scan her face.

However, the shop assistant said that Lu Yan had called and said that all their expenses would be charged to him. Xie Wei declined, since it was the reward he had promised to give to Lin Qingying, he would pay for it himself.

Xie Wei has information in Jiangmen; he can just scan his face and the payment will be automatically deducted.

After scanning his face, Xie Wei saw Lin Qingying still sitting there, as if waiting for something.

Xie Wei smiled and, following the same steps as before, helped Lin Qingying change her shoes. Then, looking at the red rope, Xie Wei asked curiously.

"Qingying, is there any meaning behind this red string? Otherwise, why do you always wear it?"

"I won't tell you," Lin Qingying said playfully, sticking out her tongue before walking outside.

Xie Wei shrugged helplessly. Since the girl didn't say anything, Xie Wei didn't press her further. He continued shopping with Lin Qingying.

Our gaze shifted to Lu Yan.

After Lu Yan and Huo Xi left Xie Wei and the others, Huo Xi asked Lu Yan, "Was Third Brother talking about taking care of a clingy girlfriend? Was he referring to me?"

Lu Yan was momentarily speechless, stammering for a long time, "This is a problem that is both simple and complicated. Let me think about how to explain it to you."

"You mean to say that Qingying likes Third Brother, right?"

"Hmm?" Lu Yan looked at Huo Xi with a puzzled expression.

Huo Xi looked at Lu Yan and slowly said, "The way Qingying looks at Third Brother is the same way I look at you." After saying that, Huo Xi became shy.

Lu Yan was pleasantly surprised to hear Huo Xi's words and excitedly kissed her. These were some of the few straightforward words the young girl had ever spoken.

'But even Huo Xi can understand it, so why can't Third Brother?'

(The reason why Lin Qingying likes Xie Wei will be explained later, but it may take a while, not so soon.)
