“Sister-in-law, we’re going out again after the New Year. You should come with us. If you don’t go, Sun Xingyan will be snatched away and devoured by others. You know how many things that kid knows. He’ll be our main force in diplomacy, and he’ll be successful every time we negotiate.”
Seeing Xia Baozhu's martial arts skills, Ma Zhaoshi wanted to win her over.
“I have two other shops and can’t leave, so you’ll have to keep an eye on his orders.” Xia Baozhu then thought of those photos, “Xingyan has some funny photos, were they taken by Brother Ma?”
"What photos?" Sun Xingyan sensed something was wrong and quickly asked.
"Ah, haha, sister-in-law received it. I didn't expect Xingyan to mail you the camera."
Feeling Sun Xingyan's murderous gaze, Ma Zhaoshi shrank back and quickly added, "Xingyan is very well-behaved outside, unusually so."
"Where's Chen Lu?" Lu Qianqian asked curiously.
Although Chen Lu was very honest when he was with her, and she trusted him, she was also curious about what his friends said about him.
"Chen Lu is just like your brother Sun, he can remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap."
"What? A woman is sitting on his lap?" Lu Qianqian exclaimed in surprise.
A surge of bitterness exploded in her heart. She wanted to go back and ask Chen Lu if there was a woman sitting in his lap.
"No, no, I was just using that as an analogy. They are not interested in women, I swear."
Ma Zhaoshi broke out in a cold sweat; these two younger siblings were even more difficult to please than his girlfriends.
He didn't want to be the catalyst for breaking up his brother's marriage.
The car stopped in front of the Beijing People's Department Store.
Sun Xingyan did not hold Xia Baozhu's hand all the time as before. He got out of the car and went to Ma Zhaoshi first.
Xia Baozhu looked at Sun Xingyan's nervous expression and secretly smiled.
Women love to see men get nervous for them, and Xia Baozhu was no exception.
"Brother Ma, what photos did you secretly take of me back then?" Sun Xingyan stared intently at Ma Zhaoshi, his eyes dark.
Do I really have to say it?
Ma Zhaoshi glanced at Lu Qianqian, who was eavesdropping behind him, and Xia Baozhu, who looked completely at ease, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Since her sister-in-law wasn't angry, it proves she didn't take it to heart.
"Do you remember that beautiful woman who chased after you in Egroo City?"
When Sun Xingyan thought about how Xia Baozhu saw the photo of him being secretly kissed, his mind went blank. He viciously grabbed Ma Zhaoshi by the neck.
"I'm going to kill you today on behalf of all your ex-girlfriends! You bastard!"
"I was wrong! I was so wrong! I really didn't expect this!"
Who would have thought that Sun Xingyan would send the entire roll of film to his girlfriend?
"Brother Sun, stop it! Why are you fighting? Let's talk this out." Lu Qianqian quickly came over and pulled Sun Xingyan's arm.
Sun Xingyan released his grip and took two steps away angrily.
But when he saw Xia Baozhu in front of him, his anger deflated like a punctured balloon, and he became listless.
He didn't even dare to look Xia Baozhu in the eye.
"I'm sorry, Baozhu." Sun Xingyan looked at the marble floor, unsure how to begin.
"What are you sorry for?" Xia Baozhu walked over and took his arm. "I think Brother Ma took a really good picture of you."
Especially that bewildered and helpless expression was so rare to see, and Xia Baozhu couldn't help but laugh when she thought of it.
Hearing the laughter, Sun Xingyan's anxiety gradually subsided.
Only then did he dare to look up at her, and said earnestly, "This will never happen again."
"Hmm, we'll see how you do." Xia Baozhu wouldn't say she believed him, otherwise it would make her seem too easy to talk to.
Ma Zhaoshi walked behind, touching his neck. "What nonsense about wives being like clothes and brothers being like limbs!"
He was the one whose sincere heart was betrayed.
In order to have fun with his buddies, he didn't even have time to find a girlfriend, and ended up having his buddies put his neck in a chokehold.
"Brother Ma, what photos did you take of Brother Sun?" Lu Qianqian asked curiously, her eyes wide.
"It's nothing, let's go in and see what nice gift your brother Sun is going to give his girlfriend this time?"
Ma Zhaoshi went up the steps and put a step away from Lu Qianqian.
“When Chen Lu has time, bring him over to play. That kid has money, don’t skimp on him. Look at what your sister-in-law is wearing, her whole outfit costs several thousand yuan.”
“I wouldn’t dare accept it. Chen Lu and I aren’t married yet. It’s fine if he spends a few dozen yuan to buy me a gift, but I can’t afford anything expensive. If I accept it, my mom will beat me to death.”
Lu Qianqian certainly liked high-end gifts, even though her monthly salary was only a little over three hundred yuan.
But her mother forbids her from accepting gifts worth more than her monthly salary, or she will break her legs.
At this time, there are countless people who don't like to take advantage of others; if you take advantage of someone for a penny, you have to pay back two pennies.
Lu Qianqian's mother is that kind of person; she doesn't covet wealth and status, she only hopes that her daughter's boyfriend is reliable and stable.
Ma Zhaoshi chuckled twice; his brothers' girlfriends were all beautiful and virtuous.
Of all his ex-girlfriends, not one could truly reciprocate his feelings.
As Xia Baozhu emerged from the mall, a cornflower blue sapphire ring adorned her fair middle finger.
She disliked the inconvenience of carrying clothes bought here, declined Sun Xingyan's enthusiastic sales pitch for winter clothing, and chose only a simple and lightweight ring.
She gave Sun Xingyan a blue and white striped tie clip and two cufflinks of the same color.
She and Sun Xingyan jointly gave Lu Qianqian a pair of pearl earrings and Ma Zhaoshi a windproof lighter.
We thank the two of them for their help.
"You're too kind, sister-in-law." Ma Zhaoshi played with the exquisite gold-plated lighter, grinning to reveal a set of bright white teeth.
After having dinner early, the four of them arrived at the film crew's location in Mingshan Park.
Next, Xia Baozhu found the director, was put in makeup, and then read the script and waited for filming.
When Xia Baozhu came out of the dressing room, Sun Xingyan and the other two who were waiting for her were stunned.
She wore a bright red ancient-style gauze dress, as vibrant as the sunset, her skirt fluttering, like a blooming red lotus.
The light, sheer fabric danced gently in the cold wind, like smoke and mist, adding to its ethereal beauty.
Her slender waist was tightly bound by an exquisite belt, so delicate it seemed impossible to grasp.
It looked as if it would break with the slightest pinch, its graceful figure captivating everyone.
The neckline revealed her fair, snow-white skin just right, and her delicate collarbone was faintly visible, exuding a unique allure.
Her hair was styled in a retro high bun, adorned with pearls and jade.
A section of her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, with a few strands playfully falling beside her cheeks, making her face even more beautiful and charming.
Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful, and her eyes sparkled with a dazzling light, as if countless stars had fallen into them.
Her lips were naturally red without any makeup, and when she smiled slightly upwards, her smile seemed capable of melting everything in the world.
The red traditional Chinese gauze dress perfectly accentuated her elegant demeanor.
She possesses both feminine grace and elegance, as well as heroic spirit and free spirit, making it difficult to look away at first glance.
