Chapter 19 Do You Think I Can’t Afford It?

This man is really nice!

"What's going on?" Gu Xiyue asked again.

Zhou Nuan was about to answer, but the salesperson spoke first, his voice sweet and coquettish, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that someone overestimated their own abilities. These skin care products are very expensive, not everyone can afford them. Big brother, go and do your work."

Zhou Nuan raised her eyebrows: She? Overestimating her own abilities?

She has always been kind to Buddhas and evil to ghosts. She believes in keeping her breasts unobstructed and never suffers any bullying. How could a little salesgirl dare to step on her face?

Zhou Nuan smiled at her, "Oh, it turns out the price is not cheap. Sorry, you are standing here, I thought it was very cheap."

Salesperson: . . .

Zhou Nuan added, "It's really expensive. How much can you afford it with your salary? Even if you can afford it, you can't afford it, right? It's really pitiful. You look at such high-end skin care products every day but can't use them, and you are reminded every day that you don't deserve them. It feels bad, right?"

The salesperson was so angry that his face turned green.

Gu Xiyue finally understood what was going on. He ignored the salesperson's aggrieved look, glanced at the skin care products, and asked Zhou Nuan, "Do you want it?"

"If you want it, buy it. It's not like you can't afford it."

His voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap that made the salesperson's face turn pale and blue.

Such a handsome man is actually this country girl's! He is so willing to spend money on this country girl!

Zhou Nuan looked at Gu Xiyue gratefully: Brother, you are quite considerate. You helped her stand up, even though it’s not real. Thank you.

"Forget it. I'm afraid it will expire. If you use expired products on your face, you'll have allergies. Then, like this lady, your face will be covered with these. That will be troublesome."

She glanced at the salesperson whose face was covered with pimples due to excessive oil secretion, and pulled Gu Xiyue away.

After walking two steps, she suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and kindly reminded, "I'm kindly giving you a suggestion. The problems on your face are caused by hormonal imbalance in your body. It might be better to find a man. Oh, look at me, isn't this forcing someone? Sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything."

She said sorry but there was no apology on her face. She walked away with her head held high, leaving the salesperson who was so angry that he was about to smoke.

Gu Xiyue's attention was focused on the thin, white hand in his hand. It was hot, and everyone was wearing light clothes. Her hand had a temperature that could not be ignored, burning from his skin all the way into his heart that had been quiet for a long time.

But she suddenly withdrew her hand, and she looked listless, with a frustrated look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xiyue couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, nothing..." Zhou Nuan was indeed a little frustrated now.

Thinking back to the modern times, as the little princess of the Zhou family, she had never been treated like this before. If it were her in the past, she would have booked the entire store with her bank card, and then asked the manager to bow and apologize to get the tactless salesgirl out without even saying a word.

It is true that if you have money, you are the boss wherever you go and everyone around you is a good person.

However, Gu Xiyue was already very good. Although he didn't have much money, he was enough to support her.

"Brother, thank you for what I just did."

Gu Xiyue frowned and asked in a lukewarm tone, "Brother?"

“Huh?” Zhou Nuan finally realized that he was the husband of this body, and immediately felt a little embarrassed. “I was just talking nonsense, but thank you for giving me enough confidence just now. However, don’t do it next time. It will be embarrassing if I can’t save my face and can’t come up with so much money.”

Gu Xiyue twitched his lips, "Do you think what I just said is not true?"

Zhou Nuan:?

What's the meaning?

Gu Xiyue asked again, "Do you think I can't afford it?"

Zhou Nuan: Oh, I see. This hurts men’s self-esteem. It turns out that men are the same no matter which era they are from.

She sighed helplessly and said perfunctorily, "No, I know you can afford it. Isn't this unnecessary? We still have to save money for Xiaodong and Xiaoxi's hundred-day banquet. We shouldn't spend money that shouldn't be spent."

Afraid that he was still struggling with this issue, she quickly walked past him and went inside.

Gu Xiyue stared at the slender figure and pursed his lips.

Zhou Nuan originally thought that Gu Xiyue came to the department store to buy things for his child, so she didn’t think much about it. After picking out a few comfortable and cost-effective small clothes, she planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiyue pulled her to the counter that specialized in selling women's clothing. She was a little puzzled, "What for?"

Gu Xiyue said, "I bought you some clothes. You didn't want to get off the car just now. Do you think it's not decent to dress like this?"

Did he notice?

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhou Nuan's face. She knew Gu Xiyue was a meticulous person, but she didn't expect him to be so meticulous. She only hesitated for two seconds, but he saw it all.

However, she had never dressed so poorly before. The original owner's clothes were all at Old Zhou's house. She only had the sweatshirt she was wearing at home. She could only wash it at night and wear it during the day. Fortunately, it was summer and it dried in one night.

She actually had some money, but thinking that she couldn't go out during the confinement period, she planned to wait until she was over, but before she could do so, she brought up the matter of the hundred-day banquet.

In the past, she always looked glamorous and beautiful whenever she went out. But when she went to a place like a big hotel, she felt a little embarrassed to appear in front of people dressed like this.

"Well, you should buy one too. You have to meet people at the Hundred Days Banquet, and you can't embarrass yourself in front of your friends."

She nodded in agreement, and without any hesitation, she walked forward to pick out clothes for herself.

I didn’t expect that the clothes of this era are so beautiful. The colorful little skirts are both retro and beautiful, and not much different from the styles that were just becoming popular when she left. It turns out that fashion is a cycle.

This salesperson was not like the previous one who had no discernment at all. He followed her enthusiastically and introduced things to her, but maybe it was because Gu Xiyue was following behind her.

After all, Gu Xiyue's temperament shows that he is not an ordinary man.

This body has very good skin, it grows well, with a slim waist and long legs, and looks good in anything. Zhou Nuan tried on too many things without realizing it, and by the time she came to her senses, she had already tried on a small pile of things and left them there.

The salesperson was enthusiastic and good at complimenting people, "Comrade, you are such a clothes hanger. These clothes look different on you. They look great! Can I pack them all for you?"

Wrap them all up? That's about ten pieces.

Zhou Nuan waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'll just buy this one."

She picked out a light blue dress from the pile of clothes, thought about it, put it back reluctantly, and changed into a pale yellow one.

She has fair skin, and this color suits her skin tone better, making her look younger.

In fact, this body is not very old, just twenty-three years old, at the prime of youth, just a little thin.

The salesperson was a little unwilling to see her only take one, "Just take one? This blue one suits you well, don't be so regretful."
