Chapter 24

Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood. Luo Qingli hurriedly tried to explain that he and Ji Jinsi were not in that kind of relationship. Unexpectedly, Ji Jinsi reached into the bag and took out a pure white kitten doll.

It’s the same style as the one in Luo Qingli’s hand, but a different color.

"Thank you." There was a barely perceptible hint of lightness in Ji Jinsi's voice.

Luo Qingli really didn't expect that Ji Jinsi would actually take the initiative to choose one. People like him really don't match these cute little dolls.

"I'm so sorry. I hope you and your boyfriend can be together forever and be happy. I also hope I can make a fortune!" The girl apologized again and left in a hurry.

Ji Jinsi was wearing a black suit and holding a furry white kitten doll in her slender fingers. There was a weird contrast between them that attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Luo Qingli couldn't help but complain: "I didn't expect President Ji to be so girly."

Ji Jinsi looked at the kitten in her arms, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she looked very happy.

"It's cute, isn't it?"

That's true, but... never mind.

Luo Qingli shifted his attention from Ji Jinsi to the stain on his chest.

Alas, I definitely can’t go out to meet people like this, so I can only buy a set of clothes from the mall temporarily.

Ji Jinsi naturally noticed Luo Qingli's actions.

"Let's go inside and buy some new clothes to change into."

Entering the shopping mall, the first floor was filled with various clothing stores. Luo Qingli looked around and saw that they were all well-known big brands. The price of a piece of clothing there must be very expensive.

She didn't have any special requirements for the clothes she wore. When she was in Mo City, she could happily wear clothes worth dozens of dollars. Therefore, Luo Qingli felt a little painful that she had to spend a lot of money to buy a piece of clothing.

After all, only when you earn money yourself do you realize how hard it is to come by.

"Just go into any room and buy some clothes. Time is running out." Ji Jinsi reminded.

Luo Qingli looked at the time and it was already half past six. There was indeed not much time left.

Before Luo Qingli could say anything, Ji Jinsi took the lead and walked into a store next door. Luo Qingli saw the name of the store and realized it was the kind of store where a piece of clothing could be worth her a month's salary.

As expected of Mr. Ji, any store he walked into was extremely expensive.

Luo Qingli resigned himself to his fate and followed Ji Jinsi inside.

As soon as the two entered the door, a clerk came up to greet them.

"Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?"

"I want to buy something a little more formal, after all..." Luo Qingli pointed to the stain on the chest of his clothes.

The clerk immediately nodded and said, "Okay, come with me, here are some styles that suit you."

Luo Qingli followed the clerk to a corner of the store. The clothes here were more formal, which suited her needs very well.

She looked at them, struggling to decide which one to choose, when she heard Ji Jinsi say, "Try this one on."

Luo Qingli looked over and found that Ji Jinsi was holding a black mini dress in her hand.

The upper part of the skirt is a neatly cut one-shoulder design, with white satin wrapped around the shoulders and tied into an exquisite bow at the chest.

The lower body is a pure black short skirt, with layers of hems creating a natural fluffy curve.

The whole dress looks very elegant, delicate and a little playful.

However, this style was not suitable for tonight, and it was not very practical. She had no occasion in Mo City where she could wear such a small dress.

"This one doesn't suit me." Luo Qingli politely declined and pointed to a black long skirt beside her and said, "This one is more suitable for the meeting tonight."

"Then try both." Ji Jinsi paused and said meaningfully, "I think my taste is better than yours."

Provocation, absolutely provocation!

I don't even know what skirt suits me? I'll make you admit defeat!

Luo Qingli asked the clerk to bring both skirts into the fitting room.

She tried the one Ji Jinsi picked first.

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar self in the mirror, she admitted that it seemed, probably, perhaps, that Ji Jinsi did have good taste.

Luo Qingli walked out of the fitting room and immediately saw Ji Jinsi sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

Hearing the voice, Ji Jinsi raised his head and was suddenly stunned.

Against the backdrop of pure black fabric, the girl's already fair skin looks even whiter. The perfect tailoring reveals the girl's beautiful shoulders and neck, and the fluffy skirt makes the girl's legs look thin and long.

Luo Qingli looks very elegant, but also a little playful and cute, and her medium-length hair adds to her liveliness.

Luo Qingli looks completely different now than she did three years ago. She is like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, dancing among the flowers, with fatal attraction.

Ji Jinsi's gaze was fixed on Luo Qingli, and an inexplicable feeling of desire arose in his heart.

He suppressed the impulse in his chest, stood up and walked towards Luo Qingli.

"Oh my God, miss, you look so beautiful in this dress!" The clerk waiting on the side quickly praised.

Luo Qingli looked at himself in the full-length mirror.

I have to admit that this skirt is really nice, after all, the price is there.

Seeing Ji Jinsi coming over, the clerk quickly said to him: "Sir, you have a good taste, this skirt is indeed suitable for your girlfriend!"

Having been misunderstood so many times, Luo Qingli was too lazy to explain. She tugged at the waist of her skirt and said, "My waist is too big here."

"If it's too big, change to a smaller size." Ji Jinsi said on the side.

"Well, we only have one of each size of this skirt in each store. I wonder if we have any smaller sizes in stock?" the clerk said with some embarrassment.

Luo Qingli was about to say forget it, it's not a big deal, but Ji Jinsi said, "Go change into the one you picked first."

I almost forgot that there was another one. The one I picked might not be worse than the one Ji Jinsi picked. Thinking of this, Luo Qingli returned to the dressing room.

The one Luo Qingli chose was quite ordinary, a shirt dress style with a belt tied around the waist to create a waistline, making her look very capable.

Luo Qingli walked out of the fitting room and raised her chin to Ji Jinsi who was still standing in front of her and said, "My taste is still better. This is the most suitable dress for tonight!"

Ji Jinsi remained silent.

"Sir, I've checked the skirt that the lady just tried on. There's a smaller size available. I've asked my colleague to get it for you from the warehouse." The clerk came over hurriedly.

Luo Qingli was stunned. "I only need to buy one."

At this time, Ji Jinsi's phone rang. He looked at his phone, then took out a card and handed it to Luo Qingli.

"I'll take both as my meeting gift to Mr. Luo."

Luo Qingli subconsciously took the card, "But..."

"The password is your birthday. I'll take a call first." Ji Jinsi left this sentence, picked up the phone and turned away.

Luo Qingli looked at the black card in his hand, as if he was holding a hot potato.

The password is my birthday? What does Ji Jinsi mean by this?

"Miss, your boyfriend is so nice to you." The clerk next to you sighed.

Luo Qingli smiled and said, "Then let's pay the bill."

After all, that skirt really looked good on her. Who doesn't have a few beautiful things in life? Even if you don't wear it out, just hanging it up at home and looking at it will make you feel better.

However, Luo Qingli still did not use Ji Jinsi's card to pay the bill. It was not like she could not afford a skirt, so there was no need to owe Ji Jinsi a favor.

The clerk handed Luo Qingli the bag of her old clothes and said with a smile, "Miss, your payment has been successful. My colleague is on the way to get the other skirt. Please wait for a moment."

Luo Qingli nodded to show that he understood. It was now 6:45 and there was still some time. Luo Qingli had nothing to do, so he walked around the store.

As I was walking around, I heard a familiar voice asking, "Qingli?"

Luo Qingli turned his head and found two women standing in front of him.

One of them was older, still charming, but her eyes were full of shrewdness.

The other one is very young, dressed fashionably, wearing a big pair of sunglasses, and her bright red lips and big wavy hair make her look very charming.

"Ye Qingli? It's really you!" The young woman let out a sharp cry.

Luo Qingli's heart sank, and he suddenly felt that the temperature of the air around him had dropped by several degrees.

It was Zhao Qian and Ye Wanrou, her stepmother and stepsister, the people in the Ye family she least wanted to see when she came to Beicheng.

"Qingli, I didn't expect it was really you. You are still in Beicheng. You have been away from home for three years. Do you know how worried we are?" Zhao Qian's face was full of worry.

Luo Qingli sneered in her heart. Worried? Anyone could say this, but she, Zhao Qian, didn't believe a word she said.

"That's right, you don't know how sad your parents were after you ran away." Ye Wanrou continued.

Luo Qingli didn't want to talk to these people. "Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Wait." Ye Wanrou grabbed Luo Qingli's arm. "You want to run away before we even say a few words?"

"Yes, Qingli, we are all family. If you have any difficulties, just tell us. Listen to mom and come home with us, okay? Your father is worried about you."

Huh? Ye Zuxing would be worried about her? She didn't believe it. Was he sad because he didn't have a daughter to betray him?

As expected, Zhao Qian's next words were, "Qingli, do you know that when you left, the deal your father had agreed with Ji's company fell through, and our company almost went bankrupt because of it?"

Want to use a self-torture trick? Unfortunately, she didn't care about the rise and fall of the Ye Group. Moreover, she didn't believe that failing to close a deal would cause the Ye Group to go bankrupt.

"That's the company's business. It has nothing to do with me. I've never worked for Ye's, nor have I ever been exposed to their business secrets. Whether or not Ye's deal is successful has nothing to do with me."

"Ye Qingli, how can you say that? If you hadn't run away suddenly, how could the Ji family regret it? It's because you didn't serve President Ji well that President Ji took his anger out on our family! How dare you say that!" Ye Wanrou said sharply.

Luo Qingli's face turned cold, her eyes filled with frost. She looked at Ye Wanrou and said word by word, "So you also know who is responsible for the Ye family's current situation? How dare you shamelessly blame me?"

"You!" Ye Wanrou seemed to have not expected Luo Qingli to say that, and she stomped her feet in anger.
