Chapter 68 is even more thoughtful

Although it was just a slip of the tongue that night, Yu Li kept thinking about buying souvenirs for Qi Chenyan.

The concert's surrounding activities were so plentiful and exciting that Yu Li and her best friend spent the whole day just checking them off their lists and having fun.

I was so tired from playing that I didn't feel like shopping at the mall, and I went straight to bed when I got back to the hotel.

As a result, with the last day of the concert approaching and no souvenirs yet, Yu Li felt she couldn't go shopping for merchandise anymore and needed to set aside at least half a day.

So when Qi Xi heard Yu Li say that she had other things to do and wouldn't be going to clock in that afternoon, Qi Xi was quite surprised.

"The closing ceremony is in the afternoon, and all the band members will be there. There's also a raffle. Lili, aren't you going to go?"

Yu Li could only reluctantly say, "I promised my husband I'd get him a souvenir. We have to go back tonight, or it'll be too late if we don't buy it this afternoon."

Qi Xi revealed an "I knew it" expression and clicked her tongue: "Yu Xiaoli, can you see the expression on your face right now?"

"What?"

Qi Xi made an exaggerated face, "It's filled with the sour smell of love~"

"Oh, you're teasing me again."

Yu Li tickled her, and Qi Xi playfully dodged left and right.

However, while packing her things, Qi Xi raised an eyebrow at her and said, "Let's go."

Yu Li was taken aback. "The surrounding activities haven't started yet, where are you going?"

Qi Xi sighed and said in a mature tone, "There's nothing I can do. I have a best friend who's obsessed with love. For the safety of my goddaughter, I, as her 24/7 bodyguard, can't be absent from work."

After all, although it was in Beijing, this was not the city center, but a county town. It was the first time for both her and Yu Li to come here, and they were unfamiliar with the place.

How could she feel at ease letting Yu Li wander around outside alone? What if she encountered some danger? It would be too late to regret it then.

While other activities are important, nothing is more important than your best friend.

Yu Li hugged Qi Xi's arm, moved, "Xi Xi, you're the best, I love you, I love you."

Do you love me the most?

Yu Li vowed, "Of course, you're my favorite. As a reward, I'll buy you any souvenirs you like!"

Qi Xi was finally satisfied.

They chose a large shopping mall, and it was a high-end mall with many luxury brands.

You know, in the past, when Yu Li and she went out together, they would never have gone into such a luxury store.

They are all ordinary families, earning a fixed salary, so there's no need for them to put on a show of wealth.

Qi Xi couldn't help but sigh, "You're really going all out for a cheap husband. I'm so jealous."

Yu Li was overjoyed. "Don't worry, no matter what I buy for him, yours will always be more expensive than his, so feel free to pick the most expensive one."

Qi Xi immediately went shopping with renewed vigor.

She chose a new bag and a uniquely styled hat.

This hat is a matching pair for sisters; Yu Li wants the other one too.

She used the black card that Qi Chenyan had given her before, without any guilt. After all, it was her husband's money on the marriage certificate, so why not use it? Only a fool would be too reserved.

However, Yu Li planned to use her own money to buy souvenirs for Qi Chenyan.

However, after browsing through a variety of men's luxury goods, Yu Li couldn't find anything that satisfied her at first glance.

During a break, Qi Xi, biting her milk tea straw, sighed, "Lili, we've practically explored all the luxury stores in this area. What kind of souvenir do you want to buy for your cheap husband?"

“The things he usually uses are all unbranded, and I think they are probably custom-made. So I think that these luxury items that we consider very expensive are probably commonplace to him and don’t surprise him.”

Since it's a gift, it's important to choose it carefully. Besides, this is the first time she's given Qi Chenyan a gift, so she naturally wants to show her sincerity.

“Honey, to be honest, I’ve only ever seen bespoke services in my Qi family, who are related by blood but have no real kinship with me. That’s what true wealth and status mean.”

"Your husband is quite financially well-off, but then again, the luxury goods we consider desirable might not really appeal to him. So what should we buy that would show uniqueness and sincerity?"

Both of them, chins in hand, were struggling to make a choice.

Suddenly, Yu Li saw something and pulled Qi Xi to a jewelry store.

But what makes this jewelry store unique is that the styles of the jewelry inside are very distinctive.

Yu Li asked the shop assistant, who said that the jewelry in their store could be customized to make certain minor adjustments according to the customer's requirements.

For example, you can engrave the customer's name or their favorite celebrity on the jewelry; in short, you can meet many of the customer's needs.

"Lili, you don't even like those luxury goods, but the jewelry in this store doesn't even cost more than three digits. Are you sure you want to buy this?"

Yu Li explained, "I think the gift is more about the thought than the price. Since expensive gifts don't have any special features, why not do something unexpected?"

After looking around, Yu Li's eyes suddenly lit up. She picked up a phone case, which was part of a pair and came with a phone charm.

The phone cases are a couple's set; the man's is black, and the woman's is gold. The back features a cute little fish, and the center is empty for customers to customize.

The phone charm is also a cute little fish, but it's divided into two halves. Only when the two phone charms are put together do they form a complete little fish.

Yu Li held up her phone case and asked, "Can the back of this phone case be printed with a cartoon version of a person's head based on a photo of them?"

The shop assistants were used to this kind of request.

"Of course, no problem. You can give me a photo of you and your boyfriend, and I'll have the craftsman create a comic based on it. However, the processing fee will be twice as expensive as a regular DIP, mainly due to the labor cost."

Yu Li said no problem, paid directly, and sent the two photos saved on her phone to the shop assistant.

"The man's picture is on the black phone case, and the woman's picture is on the gold one."

The man's photo was of Qi Chenyan, and the woman's photo was of herself. Of course, Yu Li wasn't so narcissistic as to print her own photo on a men's phone case.

Even if Qi Chenyan might accept it, she herself felt it was too narcissistic.

Upon seeing Qi Chenyan's photo, the shop assistant suddenly realized, "You're a fan of Director Qi?"

Yu Li exclaimed, not quite understanding at first.

“Actually, before, some girls brought photos of Director Qi to our store for DIY projects or had his name engraved on them, but they usually put them on their own jewelry.”

"So are you really sure you don't want to put the photo on the women's phone case, but on the men's one? If you give it to your boyfriend like that, he might not be happy, right?"

What's the difference between a girlfriend giving her idol's photo as a gift and putting a green hat on her boyfriend's head?
