After selecting the pen, He Jing glanced at the price, which was a little over ten thousand yuan. She didn't rush to pay and instead looked up to ask the clerk if there were any discounts.
The sales clerk glanced at Yan Hanxi with a smile and said, "Miss, if you really want it, we can give you a 20% discount."
He Jing also turned to look at Yan Hanxi and said, "Never mind, just wrap it up for me."
Just then, a soft, gentle female voice sounded from the side: "Wait, I'll buy this pen."
When He Jing, whose transaction was abruptly interrupted, turned around, she saw that it was Cheng Yi, with Zhou Xueer standing next to her.
Zhou Xueer stared at He Jing with an extremely smug look, as if she was looking forward to what would happen next.
She went on a shopping spree here because she was in a bad mood, and unexpectedly spotted He Jing in the pen store. So she immediately called Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi was tasting dishes at a nearby upscale hotel, trying to find a dish better than French jelly to please Yan Hanxi. Upon hearing this, she immediately rushed over, her face still flushed from the intense exercise.
He Jing glanced at Zhou Xueer, feeling extremely annoyed. This girl was like a persistent ghost.
Even if the female supporting character and the female lead are enemies, they don't need to be online 18 hours a day. Even game NPCs can take a break when the game updates.
Yan Hanxi was already annoyed, her "misogyny" flaring up, and she coldly glared at them, saying, "Following us?"
Cheng Yi took a step forward and gently explained, "Yan, you've misunderstood. We just bumped into each other. Xue'er and I were shopping here and happened to run into you."
He Jing found it amusing: "If running into each other can be considered a coincidence, then what about stealing things from me?"
Cheng Yi reluctantly looked away from Yan Hanxi, but her gaze lingered on his face out of the corner of her eye. She said casually, "I didn't mean to take your things, He Jing. It's just that this pen is so beautiful, I like it a lot too..."
She paused for a moment and then said, "You're buying this as a birthday present for your second brother, right?"
He Jing said indifferently, "This doesn't seem to be your business."
Cheng Yi choked for a moment, then smiled slightly: "If this pen isn't very important to He Jing, could you give it to me? It has a unique meaning to me."
He Jing said, "What if I say no..."
Cheng Yi readily took out a gold card from her wallet and handed it to the teller, saying, "Hello, I ordered a fountain pen from you before, and now I would like to exchange it."
As she spoke, she looked at He Jing again and gave a shy, embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry, He Jing, it's really beautiful. Second Brother will definitely like it. I can't give up on it."
Upon seeing the gold card, the teller remembered that three days ago, Cheng Yi had ordered a fountain pen worth over 300,000 yuan from them. It was a custom-made pen that could have his name engraved on the cap. The pen was already finished and would be delivered tomorrow…
"Distinguished guest, the lady has already placed an order for the pen you have chosen."
Cheng Yi exclaimed "Huh?" and tilted her head, looking innocent and naive. "Has the bill already been paid? If not, customers with gold cards have priority to purchase."
The clerk was speechless. Although the priority purchase right was a privilege granted to gold card customers, they always exchanged for more expensive items, not cheaper ones. Even if they saw something cheaper, they would only buy it together with the gold card. This was to maintain the dignity of the upper class.
But he suppressed his urge to complain and said, "Honorable guest, please wait a moment, I will correct your shopping record immediately..."
Just then, Yan Hanxi chuckled and lazily said without even lifting his eyelids, "A gold card? I have one too, look for it."
