Chapter 112 Hidden Camera

Li He scanned the store with his eyes, took a long stride, and headed straight for the high-heeled shoe section.

Bo Wei followed slowly behind him, glancing around the store. She thought the store looked very high-end, and every pair of shoes looked extremely expensive under the lights.

She couldn't help but look down at her shoes. The toe of her black high heels was cracked, like a black goldfish with its mouth wide open in a park pond, waiting to be fed.

Her toes curled slightly inside her shoe, a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, but her face remained calm.

Today, while accompanying Li He out, she didn't see clearly as she went up the steps and her shoe tip hit the step. Her foot wasn't seriously injured, but the black high heels she wore for long periods of intense work caused a tear in the toe, which kept getting bigger as she walked.

The shop assistant was a perceptive person. She subtly glanced at Bo Wei's feet out of the corner of her eye, intending to judge her preferences, but she caught a 'fish' and immediately looked away.

Seeing Li He's powerful aura and unapproachable demeanor, she only dared to stay by Bo Wei's side and said with a gentle smile, "Your boyfriend is so good to you. It's rare for a man to accompany a woman shopping and be willing to go to such lengths to carefully choose shoes for his female companion. Usually, male companions who come in sit down as soon as they enter."

Her voice wasn't loud, but Li He, being so close, could definitely hear it; she was clearly trying to please both of them with a single sentence.

Bo Wei, however, did not feel flattered at the moment, and reluctantly explained, "We're just ordinary friends."

Upon hearing this, Li He chuckled and continued choosing shoes.

The shop assistant glanced quickly between the two people, quite surprised. "Ah, I'm so sorry! Judging from your looks and demeanor, I thought..."

The chemistry and atmosphere between these two are so obvious, how could they not be a couple?

The shop assistant looked remorseful and apologetic.

Fortunately, at that moment, a shop assistant came over with a smile, carrying a tray with several drinks on it.

"Madam, we have coffee and tea here. What would you like to drink?"

Bo Wei brought over a cup of tea. "Thank you."

He followed slowly behind Li He.

After taking only two sips, Li He pointed to several pairs of shoes and said, "Bring these over for her to try on, size 37."

The sales clerk nodded hurriedly, "Yes, sir! Please have a seat on the sofa for a moment. We'll bring the shoes over for the lady to try on right away."

They still claim they're not a couple, yet they know each other's shoe sizes.

It's estimated that they haven't caught up yet.

Is it really that hard for a man like this to pursue a woman?

Bo Wei glanced at the shoes he pointed to; they were all classic high heels, without anything fancy, and not easy to go wrong with.

Out of curiosity, I asked him, "How did you know my shoe size?"

Li He glanced at her. "I've met you before."

Bo Wei was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she remembered the day when he had a stomachache and she went upstairs to cook for him. Li He had very gentlemanly helped her carry her shoes.

And the time she had a stomachache, she was sleeping in his bed, and he was the one who helped her take off her shoes.

It was probably one of those two times.

But it was still a bit unexpected that someone who helped take off their shoes would secretly remember their shoe size.

Unless he had ulterior motives, why would he have...?

"when?"

Li He looked at her with a half-smile, as if he could see right through her thoughts.

Bo Wei felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, but she still listened intently for an answer, wanting to know exactly when he had started having these thoughts.

Li He said slowly, "The first time I saw you."

Bo Wei was surprised, then frowned and recalled.

The first time they met, Assistant Jiang led her upstairs to his office.

It wasn't required on the resume, so how did he find out that day?

I had hoped to deduce from his answers how long he had been interested in me, but now it seems that's not a reliable method.

She wasn't narcissistic enough to think that someone like Li He would fall in love with her at first sight. Even if he did, it was impossible for him to specifically remember her shoe size on their first meeting.

That's utter nonsense.

Two shop assistants had already prepared the shoes, one holding several shoe boxes and waiting on the side, neither of them urging them to hurry.

As she frowned in thought, Li He grasped her wrist and led her to sit on the sofa.

The shop assistant was standing nearby, taking out shoes and preparing to squat down to help her try them on, but the man beat her to it.

Li He naturally squatted down in front of Bo Wei and reached out to the shop assistant.

The shop assistant was surprised, but quickly realized what was happening and handed him a shoe.

Li He took the shoes, put them aside, grabbed her slender ankle, and took off her black high heels.

Once the shoes were off her feet, Bo Wei finally came to her senses. Her toes curled awkwardly as she bent down to reach for the new shoes. "Li He, what are you doing? Get up, I can do it myself."

Li He grabbed the shoes before she could and slipped them on her feet, saying, "Don't move."

He had a strong grip; although it didn't hurt, she couldn't break free from his hold on her ankle.

She could never win against him. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed several pairs of eyes constantly being cast at her. Their tugging and pulling outside was particularly eye-catching. Although she was restrained, she stopped struggling.

Li He held her feet in one hand.

Great, from now on, all her clothes, skirts, and shoes will be bought by him.

He bought them, so he naturally has the right to decide whether to wear them or not.

With a slight movement of the Adam's apple and a slight droop of the eyelids, the uncontrollable reverie in the mind was quickly cut off.

Outside the shop.

After being amazed by the two people inside, Yu Yan's colleague turned around and found Yu Yan acting strangely, secretly filming them with her phone.

Does she know these two people? Could they be the acquaintances she mentioned she hadn't seen in a long time?

Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to be there to meet someone she knew; she seemed more like she was there to catch someone cheating.

Using the decorations by the door to conceal her body, Yu Yan framed the intimate scene of the man holding the woman's foot and putting on her shoes with her phone, and quickly pressed the shutter.

I took a few photos and a short video.

Seeing that Yu Yan was engrossed in her own affairs, her colleague frowned and asked with dissatisfaction, "Yu Yan, what are you doing? Why are you being so mysterious and not saying anything?"

Yu Yan: "It's nothing, I just took a couple of pictures because they're good-looking."

The colleague was speechless. "Didn't you say you came here because you saw someone you knew? If you wanted to see a handsome guy, why didn't you just say so? You're making it sound so serious. I thought something serious had happened."

Yu Yan: "I misread it. The woman inside looks a lot like my former college roommate. I'll take a picture and send it to her later."

The colleague rolled her eyes inwardly, "Tsk! Let's go, we've already taken the photos, we still have to go to work."

How come I never noticed before that she has such poor eyesight? She dares to mistake anyone for someone else.

Don't you see how beautiful everyone inside is? They have everything: great figure, good looks, and great temperament. It's rare to find someone who meets even two of these criteria, let alone all three. That's top-tier.

"Yes, I'm at work. Let's go." Yu Yan sensed the impatience in her colleague's tone and casually replied.

She glanced inside one last time and scoffed inwardly. Her job was nothing like that of a secretary, and she didn't have the confidence to delay things, since she wasn't that familiar with her boss!
