Chapter 23 - Heart
"Well, I don't understand. Maybe it is. They are all quite expensive anyway." Yu Ruoruo was speaking when the elevator door next to her suddenly opened and Qin Buzhu walked out. Qin Buzhu heard everything she said just now.
"What's wrong?" Qin Buzhu walked to the door.
"Nothing, the delivery guy wanted to buy a bag, but it wasn't mine, so I thought I could ask a friend for a discount." Yu Ruoruo said quickly, fearing that Qin Buru wouldn't understand the situation and might let it slip.
The delivery guy was actually a little afraid of Qin Buyu, and the price of the package was far beyond his expectations, so he immediately said:
"No, no, since this bag is a luxury item, forget it. I'm just an ordinary person and I can't afford such a nice bag. Is this all the courier offers? If this is all, I'll pack up and get ready to go. I'll prepare to ship it later."
"Yes, that's all I have. Thank you for your help." Yu Ruoruo knew that the quantity was a little less than the previous batch, but the cannon fodder bought a wide variety of bags, some popular and some less popular, so they must have sold the most at the beginning, and it became increasingly difficult to sell them later.
"No trouble, no trouble..." the young man said, picking up his bag and taking the elevator away.
Shi Feiye then realized that she had been blocking the doorway, preventing Qin Buzhu from entering. She quickly went in to make room for Qin Buzhu, then asked curiously, "Why are you back so soon?"
"There's not much to deal with today." Qin Buzhu said as he changed his shoes and hung up his clothes. He asked Shi Feiye casually, "Why do you say the bag belongs to someone else?"
"It's inappropriate to say it's my own. We live here, and the security situation isn't clear. If someone notices me showing off my wealth, it could be dangerous. Besides, the delivery guy has been here several times, so I'm familiar with him. I'll need him to help with deliveries in the future. If I claim it's my own and don't give him a big discount, what if he gets angry and messes with my goods? I can go through the procedures, but it's still troublesome. After all, you can only judge a person by their appearance. But if we give him a big discount, we'll suffer a loss. We're not as rich as we were before, and our relationship isn't that good, so it's really not worth it."
Shi Feiye spoke his mind in a few words, and Qin Bulu once again felt like he was a completely different person. The old Shi Feiye wasn't so cunning. He'd been tricked many times when shopping, and he was even less cautious when out and about. His brothers had told him off for this many times. And because of this, his brothers felt sorry for him for marrying such a fool who didn't even know how to buy things.
But look at Shi Feiye now. He can think so carefully about such a small matter that is not obvious. How can he still look like the stupid one before?
"Well, that's very thoughtful." Qin Bulu commented seemingly casually.
"There's nothing I can do. Life isn't easy. While we should be kind, we can't be without our guard up. It's better not to cause trouble for ourselves with things that can be easily handled."
Shi Feiye, who had long been accustomed to living independently, had all sorts of life skills that were sharpened, and was extremely wary of outsiders. She was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with her behavior, and naturally didn't notice the momentary darkening look in Qin Buzhu's eyes.
