Qiao Nansheng was different. She was lucky. Although she also went to a private kindergarten, the salary was high, and she didn't have to be sent out for training as often as Qiao Nansheng.
The things Qiao Nansheng ordered, just one coffee cost more than thirty yuan, not to mention the desserts.
This coffee shop caters specifically to office workers. It has a good reputation, and everyone likes to work here. The customers are mostly wealthy gentlemen who don't care about how much money they have.
Tang Xuerou saw that she still had some time to spare, so she couldn't help but call out to her, "Nansheng, isn't that enough? The two of us can't eat that much. It'll be noon soon, and we need to go eat lunch. If we eat so many snacks, we won't be able to eat our main meal."
Qiao Nansheng blinked and looked up at her. "Are you worried that it's too expensive and you can't afford it? That's okay, I'll pay for it."
Tang Xuerou's expression stiffened. "No, that's not what I meant. I just think it's already 10 o'clock, and it will be 12 o'clock in two hours. If I eat so many desserts, I won't be able to digest them and won't be able to eat lunch."
"It's okay, I can finish it."
"..."
Tang Xuerou felt incredibly conflicted when she saw her order over two hundred yuan worth of food. She felt sorry for her spending money and didn't understand why she ordered so much. Could she really finish it all? She knew perfectly well how small her appetite was.
Qiao Nansheng finished ordering and pushed the order slip over, "I'm done, take another look and see what else you want to order?"
Tang Xuerou didn't even dare to look down at what she had ordered, and shook her head, saying, "I won't order anything. You've ordered so much, it's enough for us to eat."
Qiao Nansheng: "?"
Sister, aren't you overthinking this? I ordered that for myself, who said I was going to give it to you? Don't flatter yourself, okay?
A dozen minutes later, the items Qiao Nansheng had ordered were brought up one by one. Tang Xuerou reached out to take some, only to find that each item was only enough for one person.
Only then did she realize why Qiao Nansheng had been staring at her so strangely when she said those words. It turned out that Qiao Nansheng hadn't ordered anything for her at all, and she had assumed that Qiao Nansheng had ordered a double portion.
Embarrassed by the situation, Tang Xuerou withdrew her hand, stopped the departing waiter, and ordered a cup of coffee.
The coffee was served quickly. Tang Xuerou took a small sip and said, "I thought you ordered mine too."
Qiao Nansheng ate a dessert, drank coffee, and then had a spicy snack. She couldn't be more comfortable. She sighed and said, "No, I asked you and you said no."
Tang Xuerou: "..."
She looked at Qiao Nansheng without saying a word, her eyes filled with resentment.
Qiao Nansheng pretended nothing had happened and ate and drank as usual. In no time, she had finished all the food she had ordered.
Touching her bulging belly, Qiao Nansheng stood up: "I'll go pay the bill."
She didn't want to owe Tang Xuerou anything.
There was no sound coming from behind, which meant they had tacitly agreed.
Qiao Nansheng walked to the cashier, took out her phone to pay, and the man she had seen at the door came over again. He smiled and said, "Consider it my treat, no need to pay."
Qiao Nansheng was naturally happy to be treated to a free meal. She raised an eyebrow and smiled at the man, saying, "Then thank you, Senior Tan."
"I also want to thank you for always coming to my little shop to support me and patronize my business." Tan Linqiu had just finished speaking when someone called him from the other side. He smiled apologetically at Qiao Nansheng and turned around to go over.
Qiao Nansheng returned to his seat, picked up his bag, and was about to leave when Tang Xuerou saw this and quickly stood up to follow him.
"Nan Sheng, where do we go next?"
She turned her head and gave Tang Xuerou a strange look, then noticed it: "You called me out, so how could I know where we're going next if you don't know?"
"..." Tang Xuerou's face flushed. "Then let's go shopping. We haven't gone shopping together in a long time. I saw a really nice dress in the mall the other day. I thought it would suit you perfectly. I originally wanted to buy it for you as a birthday present, but it was too expensive and I couldn't afford it, so I changed it to something else."
Qiao Nansheng didn't say anything, only gave her a half-smile before leaving the coffee shop.
Tang Xuerou took a step to follow, but she was stopped by someone after only a few steps.
"Xue Rou, wait a moment." It was Tan Linqiu's voice.
She stopped and looked back, only to see Tan Linqiu walking towards her carrying two exquisite boxes.
"Did Nansheng leave first? This is a new dessert I made. You and Nansheng can try it first." Tan Linqiu handed her two boxes, one of which was tied with a pink bow. He said, "This is for Nansheng, and this is for you."
The one without the bow belongs to Tang Xuerou.
