After tidying up, Qin Zifu took her bag and went to Su Nuo's place. Since Qin Zifu wasn't home, Qi Jingchen went to the company.
"Fufu, I've been here with Nuonuo for so long and you're only just coming down now. Is it because President Qi won't let her go?"
He just went to the company.
"Alas, the king has stopped holding morning court from now on!"
"But Fufu, how do you manage to be both exhausted and in such great shape?"
Su Nuo looked at her with a smile.
"Well, what do you think? We've been there together."
"I've never done that; your approach is too extreme."
"I'm offended by your conversation. I reasonably suspect you're subtly criticizing me."
"Haha, no doubt about it."
"Alas, the world is going to the dogs! My concubines are looking down on me for not being experienced enough. I must have my fill today!"
Let's go.
The three arrived at the mall
"Women, there's never enough clothing."
"I'm buying some clothes suitable for work. I'll be starting work at the hospital after Grandpa's birthday banquet, and wearing high heels won't be appropriate then."
"you're right"
Qin Zifu selected several pairs of flat shoes, several pairs of sneakers and casual shoes, and several pairs of pants.
Su Nuo also chose a few outfits. She would dress more maturely after she started teaching, otherwise she would look like a student, since she doesn't look serious to begin with.
"Miss Tang doesn't seem to have much of a shopping urge today."
"Yes, it's my own studio, so I don't need to worry about what to wear."
The three of them were relaxing in the rest area while drinking milk tea.
"Why would they choose milk tea over coffee in the VIP room?"
"I don't like being there. There's a bunch of people watching me suspiciously, and besides, if you go for coffee, you feel embarrassed to leave without buying something."
That's true.
"Fufu, how did things go with President Qi yesterday?"
Tang Shuyu looked at her, a half-smile on her face.
"That's just how it is, what else can you do?"
I briefly recounted what happened yesterday.
"President Qi actually benefited from this misfortune; the whole farce led to his early promotion."
"So, in that case, we should thank Wang Duolin?"
"That's not necessary."
"The socialite groups in Beijing are buzzing; everyone's dreaming of becoming Mrs. Qi!"
"Is it that boring?"
"Yes, Mrs. Qi in the group might not get along with each other, but when chatting, Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Zhou get along very well."
"Shuyu, are you reciting a tongue twister?"
Simply describe their mental state.
"Doesn't anyone want to be Mrs. Ling?"
"I doubt anyone would dare, after all, Cheng Xingran is in the group too, and she's Young Master Ling's official girlfriend."
"So, gentlemen, are you aware that your wives are fighting so fiercely?"
The use of the pronoun "们" in "夫人们" (ladies) is quite comical.
"Of course... I don't know, or you can go home and ask."
"Okay, I'll go back and ask. I can also ask my brother."
While others were lost in their fantasies, the future Mrs. Qi and the former Mrs. Zhou were here drinking coffee and listening to jokes.
The three of them strolled around for a while and came to a store with a black and pink color scheme for the storefront and logo.
The things hanging inside made one's mind wander.
"Shall we go in and take a look? Should we give President Qi some perks?"
Qin Zifu thought for a moment and shook her head.
"No, I can't handle it."
"Go take a look, what if you like something? I'll buy it for you, consider it a celebration that you're no longer single."
"You're so thoughtful!"
"That's a respectable person."
However, Tang Shuyu had never been inside before, so there was no point in her coming in as a single person. Even Su Nuo had never been here before, and all three of them were dumbfounded when they came in.
"That saves on fabric."
"Madam, what kind of woman do you prefer? I can introduce you to some options. This side is more conventional, while that side is a bit more daring. That side is more popular and has many repeat customers."
"Thank you, we'll just look around."
Finally, I randomly picked a few items from the so-called "regular" area, quickly paid, and left.
"Want to go out and have some fun after dinner? I'll take you to experience adult nightlife."
The three hit it off immediately
After finishing my meal, I put my things at home, changed my clothes, and went straight to Banxing.
The first row of booths, one person per glass of Blue Margarita.
This wine has a low alcohol content and tastes good.
"The guy dancing today was really handsome, hehe."
"I was wondering why you insisted on coming today."
The problem with this wine is that it tastes like fruit juice, especially when you're watching something while drinking it. In no time, the table is filled with women who have already finished their drinks.
"Don't you find these drinks rather uninteresting?"
"Hmm, boring."
The three hit it off again.
In the end, I ordered a bottle of rum.
"Want to go for a jump?"
Tang Shuyu asked loudly in their ears.
"I'm not going, I can't jump anymore."
Qin Zifu waved her hand, signaling them to go.
She was exhausted from staying up most of the night yesterday and spent half the day shopping. Who could keep up with that? She's not made of iron.
As Qi Jingchen was going upstairs, he glanced down unintentionally, and his gaze suddenly fixed on a certain spot.
Ha, well done!
Turning around and going downstairs, Qin Zifu leaned back on the sofa, ignoring the eager eyes around her and the people who wanted to strike up a conversation.
Then the sofa beside her sank in, and she glanced to the side casually, her expression indifferent. When she saw who was next to her, she suddenly sat up.
"Weren't we supposed to eat after shopping?"
"I'm done eating."
She didn't mean to lie to him, she just didn't say so in time.
"Who told you to come to a place like this?"
Seeing an opened bottle of wine and several empty glasses on the table, I had no idea how long they had been there.
"What's wrong?"
"Have you forgotten the pain once the wound has healed?"
This was the first time Qi Jingchen had spoken to her so seriously, and she couldn't quite accept it. Had she forgotten the pain of her past hurt? She had been thinking that he didn't cherish what he had, and now his attitude was already so bad?
At this moment, Su Nuo and Tang Shuyu returned. They couldn't stand people sticking to them; it was a bit disgusting.
As soon as I got back and entered the booth, I saw a man with a dark face.
"President Qi is here. Is he here to pick up Fufu?"
Qi Jingchen glanced at the two people standing there; they were both commendable.
"Go upstairs"
Qin Zifu was a little grumpy at this moment. They all met at a bar, and none of them were staying at home. Why was he allowed to come? Why was he angry because she came? Didn't he have any freedom at all?
They started talking to her like that right away. The three of them came out to have fun. If she were taken away like this, wouldn't she have any dignity? The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt.
"I'm not going."
Tang Shuyu nudged Su Nuo's arm and whispered in her ear.
"Something's not right."
"Fufu, Mr. Qi is here to pick you up. Why don't you go with him first?"
To avoid the two of them arguing here later, which would probably make it to the trending topics again, many people have been looking at Qi Jingchen since he sat down. Everyone wants to know why President Qi would take the initiative to sit next to a woman.
Qi Jingchen could tell that Qin Zifu was unhappy. He recalled how she had questioned him yesterday about whether he had been mean to her, and now her cold eyes and tone were the same as yesterday.
Realizing his tone had been harsh, he softened it a bit, and his baby was being petted gently.
"Sweetie, let's go upstairs."
Qin Zifu didn't move or look at him.
"Fufu, let's make a date another time. Go on, don't disturb the older sisters watching the handsome guy."
After Qi Jingchen sat down, not a single man approached the area.
Qi Jingchen glanced at the two of them, his gaze briefly falling on Su Nuo. Then he thought of his brother, who had no emotional intelligence and couldn't even bring himself to like a woman. What a waste.
"Go up, everyone!"
Now it was Su Nuo and Tang Shuyu's turn to be confused.
What does this have to do with them? Are they warning them not to bring Qin Zifu out again? That would be too much. If that's the case, they'd have to use their best friend power and persuade them to break up.
Su Nuo didn't want to go up. She didn't want to have too much contact with Zhou Yixing's people, which meant he must be here too, and she wanted to reduce unnecessary opportunities to meet him.
"Isn't that unnecessary..."
"It's not safe for us to go back together later."
Then Qi Jingchen stood up and waited for them to catch up.
Since President Qi had already extended the invitation and made such a statement, the two could no longer insist and resignedly followed him upstairs.
Pushing open the door to the private room, Qi Jingchen's expression turned even worse.
"Hey, you're here! Why did you bring all three of them along?"
"Found it down there"
Inside sat Gu Di'an, Zhou Yixing, Ling Zhiyi, and two women.
