Chapter 101 Sacrificing One's Beauty...

Wasteful? An Shixia couldn't help but laugh when she heard this word.

Is a bag costing just over ten thousand yuan considered wasteful? If she were to carry it out, Xiao Yin might actually feel bad about it.

He Huaisheng's eyes flickered, but he did not stop Jiang Zhiyao.

Although he could afford it, it would be better not to buy it. Anyway, An Shixia had already decided to forgive him, so one bag wouldn't make a difference.

"Didn't you come in to buy bags?"

An Shixia countered with a question.

"Yes, Brother Sheng said he's going to buy me the latest bag!"

Jiang Zhiyao couldn't help but say in a boastful tone.

She wanted An Shixia to know that she was the most important person in He Huaisheng's heart.

"But the bag I have is the cheapest one in the store. If you buy the latest model, it will be more expensive, right? Wouldn't that be even more wasteful of your money?"

Jiang Zhiyao never spoke to An Shixia, so she could only use tears to gain He Huaisheng's pity.

Her eyes were so red they looked like they'd been brutally violated.

When He Huaisheng saw him like this, he was reminded of that day, and his heart softened.

"Shi Xia, Yao Yao is just feeling sorry for me, that's not what she meant, don't worry about it."

He Huaisheng tried his best to be a master of balancing things, and after finally improving his relationship with An Shixia, he didn't want to go back to square one.

But Yao Yao is so pitiful, he doesn't want her to suffer.

"That's not what I meant. What did you mean then? Or are you just saying it and don't really intend to buy it for me?"

When An Shixia exposed his thoughts, He Huaisheng felt embarrassed, but he denied it, saying, "No, don't overthink it. I really wanted to buy it for you."

"Okay, then pay now."

An Shixia took the bag and placed it on the counter herself.

Jiang Zhiyao gripped He Huaisheng's hand tightly, knowing that if He Huaisheng paid for her, she would lose her bag.

That damn An Shixia, she always tries to take everything from me!

If I hadn't run into her today, that bag would have been mine!

She felt a pang of regret, thinking that she had come at the wrong time and could have come later so that she wouldn't have run into An Shixia.

How could He Huaisheng not have sensed Jiang Zhiyao's actions? But this time, he could only apologize to Jiang Zhiyao.

He apologized to Jiang Zhiyao in his heart, turned around and walked to the counter, took out his credit card and placed it on it: "Please pay."

He had a fake smile on his face. Although the sales assistant didn't understand the relationship between the group, she would get a commission if the products were sold, so she quickly swiped He Huaisheng's card.

Hearing the message that the payment had been successfully deducted, He Huaisheng felt a pang of regret, but An Shixia was rich, so he decided to play the long game.

Jiang Zhiyao's eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at An Shixia, but when He Huaisheng looked at her, she put on an innocent look again.

"Brother Sheng, it's okay, I don't need this bag."

Her voice sounded pitiful, and He Huaisheng felt even more guilty. He glanced at An Shixia and asked, "Shixia, have you forgiven me now?"

An Shixia feigned surprise: "Did you give me this bag so I would forgive you? I thought it was just a matter of reciprocity."

An Shixia gave He Huaisheng a lot of things, and although he had asked for some back before, he still made a profit.

This bag will help her recoup some of the losses today; she won't feel guilty for lying to He Huaisheng.

Hearing that she hadn't forgiven him, He Huaisheng forced a smile: "Of course not, I was just returning the favor. Shi Xia, I've recently realized how wrong I was. I clearly like you, but because of my inferiority complex, I didn't dare to get close to you. But I've figured it out, love can overcome all difficulties. Can you give me a chance to pursue you?"

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at An Shixia, as if waiting for her response.

Shen Tongtong almost burst out laughing.

He just slept with Jiang Zhiyao yesterday, and today he's making a heartfelt confession. Even a player wouldn't be this much of a jerk!

Jiang Zhiyao swayed as if she was about to faint, and He Huaisheng was so frightened that he immediately supported her.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

He Huaisheng's voice changed to one of worry; he reached out, picked her up, and rushed to the hospital.

Jiang Zhiyao lay "weakly" on He Huaisheng's chest, her eyes looking at An Shixia with a smug expression.

"I'm fine, it's just that I'm probably too tired. I'll be fine after a rest, especially after yesterday..."

At this point, she shyly buried her face in He Huaisheng's arms, not saying a word.

He Huaisheng felt he had let her down. He hugged her and looked at An Shixia apologetically, "Shixia, I'll take her back to rest first, and then I'll come find you later, okay?"

"No need, you should take her to rest first. You know I'm with Yan Lingyu right now, so I won't agree to your request."

But to He Huaisheng, these words sounded like she was sulking because he had hugged Jiang Zhiyao.

But Jiang Zhiyao's health is more important, so He Huaisheng pursed his lips and said, "Shi Xia, I'll explain to you when I get back."

After saying that, he picked up Jiang Zhiyao and left.

The sales assistant, having witnessed a dramatic turn of events, began to look down on He Huaisheng.

She knew An Shixia; she never bought bags for less than two digits. How could she possibly be with him for such a small favor? That was far too overconfident.

Moreover, he was flirting with that green tea b*tch in front of An Shixia. Does he think people are blind?

"Please replace this bag with this one, and I'll pay the rest."

An Shixia put down the bag in her hand and picked up another one.

This is what she plans to give to Shen Tongtong. It's not very expensive, around 50,000 yuan, so Shen Tongtong won't feel guilty.

Then, she chose another new model, worth 1.2 million, and paid for it together.

"Tongtong, this is for you."

Shen Tongtong didn't expect An Shixia to give her a gift, and waved her hand to refuse: "No, it's too expensive. You keep it for yourself, and I already bought one."

Shen Tongtong waved the bag in her hand; it was the same price as the one An Shixia had given her.

"This is a reward for you as the team leader! You did such a great job on this project, you can't refuse it."

An Shixia spoke in a businesslike tone.

"Not as a friend, but as the team leader, are you sure you don't want to accept it?"

An Shixia said she was going to take the bag back, but her eyes kept glancing at Chen Tongtong out of the corner of her eye.

She knew that if she said that, Shen Tongtong wouldn't refuse.

Sure enough, Shen Tongtong reached out and took it: "Then I'll take it! After all, I haven't had a proper rest for several weeks in a row in order to rush this project."

An Shixia curled her lips slightly: "Then you'd better try to please me, otherwise I won't take you on the next project, and you won't get the reward either."

Shen Tongtong immediately grabbed An Shixia's arm and pleaded, "Director Xia, I'm smart and capable, and I obey orders. Please don't abandon me and go it alone!"

As she spoke, she reached out and shook An Shixia's arm. An Shixia pretended to be dissatisfied: "You can't do that. After all, you know that if you want your boss to take a liking to you, just being cute won't work."

"If acting cute doesn't work, then I'll sacrifice my looks..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by two voices: "No!"
