Lu Baozhu sensed that Xue's mother didn't seem to want her to come along, and Xue Yanchen was also cold towards her. Did the mother and son really dislike her and were afraid of troubling her, or had Xue Ningnan not yet told them about her blind date with Xue Yanchen?
The girl who had been silent the whole time saw her looking aggrieved and quickly smiled and teased her, actually speaking up for her.
"Auntie, don't be shy. You and Baozhu are practically family now, so why not let her help you pick out some clothes?"
What?
Mrs. Xue was immediately taken aback. How could she have become family with Lu Baozhu?
Soon, she thought of a possibility and turned to look at her son.
Lu Baozhu's gaze was fixed on her son, and she was trying to please her in every way. It seems she has taken a liking to her son.
But if she falls for her son, can they become a family?
What a joke!
At this moment, Lu Baozhu felt embarrassed that her friend had so openly revealed her future relationship with the Xue family, but she was secretly overjoyed.
She glanced quickly at Xue Yanchen, then lowered her head shyly.
Xue Yanchen was staring blankly at a pair of beautiful butterfly hair clips in the opposite counter, not even glancing at her, and had no idea why she was being so shy.
Then, Xue Yanchen strode over to the counter, asked the sales clerk to take out the butterfly hair clip from the cabinet, examined it carefully in his hand, and bought it when he was satisfied.
When Lu Baozhu saw him go to buy butterfly hair clips, she became even more shy.
She only vaguely expressed that she had taken a liking to him, and he went to buy her a gift. It turned out that he liked her so much that he hoped they could be together even more than she did.
Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest like a frantic deer, almost leaping out of her throat, and her powdered face grew increasingly red.
Her friends teased her again: "Oh, Baozhu, look how much he likes you and how good he is to you. He went to buy you a hair clip so quickly. He must be giving it to you as a gift."
Mrs. Xue gave her a cold look: "..."
Who gave you your confidence?
Lu Baozhu pretended to be embarrassed and nudged her, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, it can't be that fast."
If Xue Yanchen wasn't buying hair clips for her, then who was he buying them for?
He gave her a gift so quickly; she'd better buy him a decent return gift later.
She clenched her little hands tightly, waiting nervously and excitedly for Xue Yanchen to return so he could personally give her the hair clip.
On the other side, after having the sales clerk wrap up the butterfly hair clip, Xue Yanchen carefully put it into his pocket.
Lu Baozhu and her friends were stunned when they saw it.
However, Lu Baozhu wasn't too disappointed. Xue Yanchen probably wanted to give it to her on the day of their blind date. She wasn't in a hurry; she would just wait. Anyway, it would be hers sooner or later.
Xue Yanchen walked over and said to his mother, "Mom, let's go upstairs and take a look."
"good."
Madam Xue said to Lu Baozhu, "Baozhu, we're leaving now. You two have a good time shopping."
With that, she went upstairs with Xue Yanchen.
Lu Baozhu was left behind, and her face immediately turned cold.
Her hints were so obvious, and her friends were even speaking up for her. How could this mother and son be so cold-blooded?
They showed her no respect whatsoever and disregarded her feelings.
She stood there, her eyes red-rimmed, on the verge of tears.
Seeing her abandoned and on the verge of tears, the other girls felt sorry for her and went to catch up with the mother and child.
“Auntie, how can you treat Baozhu like this? She’s going to have a blind date with Comrade Xue soon, and you’ll be family soon. There’s no need to be so distant.”
"A blind date?"
Xue's mother and Xue Yanchen exchanged a glance. Xue Yanchen frowned and asked, "What blind date? Who wants to go on a blind date with her?"
"It's you! Your second sister promised to play matchmaker for you and Baozhu, and introduce Baozhu to you. Why? My Baozhu is such a good catch, she's definitely a good match for you." Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to buy Baozhu a butterfly hair clip.
However, Xue Yanchen's next words completely chilled her to the bone, leaving her feeling utterly dejected.
"I already have a boyfriend, so I don't need to go on blind dates anymore."
"What?"
This time, it was Lu Baozhu and her friends who were surprised. Lu Baozhu couldn't care less about feeling wronged and hurriedly walked over.
"What did you say? You already have a boyfriend?"
Xue Ningnan told her that Xue Yanchen hadn't been looking for a partner yet and was now in a hurry to find one.
"Yes," Xue Yanchen replied affirmatively.
"Who did you buy your butterfly hair clip for?" Lu Baozhu's friend asked him.
Lu Baozhu glared at her friend. Was she trying to stab her in the heart again?
"Of course, I bought it for my partner."
“No, that’s not right. Sister Ningnan said you don’t have a boyfriend, and you’ve never looked for one.” Lu Baozhu didn’t believe it.
"I already have a boyfriend. Xue Ningnan lied to you on purpose." Go find Xue Ningnan and settle the score.
When Lu Baozhu heard his words, she remembered how focused he was when he was choosing hair clips. He must be buying something for the woman he loves to be so attentive. It's a pity it's not her.
Her long-awaited blind date was going to fall through, and the man she had fallen for already had a girlfriend. All her beautiful fantasies had turned into empty dreams.
She had just been so obsequious to Xue's mother and so shy in front of Xue Yanchen, only to realize in the end that she was just a foolish, presumptuous, and self-important clown.
Her dignity was trampled underfoot, and she felt so ashamed that she wanted to die.
