"A friend of yours?"
Coming out of the fitting room, Qi Sheng saw Tan Hua deep in conversation with a sales associate and asked with a smile.
"This is Xu Ying. She’s a good friend I made at the store."
Tan Hua introduced them openly, not at all worried that Qi Sheng would be interested in Xu Ying.
"Hello there, handsome. Your Huahua is very popular, you know. She has more than a few admirers."
Xu Ying shook Qi Sheng’s hand and teased with a smile.
"Of course. My girlfriend’s charm is second to none."
Qi Sheng was unconcerned.
He was well aware of the allure of an exceptionally beautiful woman.
However, he was confident in his own abilities.
’Those richer than him weren’t as talented.’
’Those more talented than him weren’t as rich.’
’Once I conquer Tan Hua, my looks and physique will improve even further.’
’By then, Tan Hua will find it even harder to leave me.’
"A confident man is the most handsome. I’ll let you two get back to it. We should grab a meal sometime."
Xu Ying was taken aback for a moment. ’No wonder he’s a rich kid,’ she thought.
’That kind of confidence isn’t something an ordinary man possesses.’
’Compared to the self-assured Qi Sheng, her own boyfriend was just so lacking.’
’He was paranoid all day, terrified she’d be whisked away by some male customer.’
"Let’s go with these four outfits. Could you also help me pick out a handbag to match? I quite like the style with the LV monogram print."
After all, they were all new arrivals, so the employee discount wasn’t that big—only ten percent off.
Qi Sheng mentally calculated the price.
The four outfits, a versatile necklace and bracelet set, plus a handbag.
The total would come to exactly 200,000, which was within his budget.
"Then let’s go with this POCHETTE VOYAGE SOUPLE handbag. It’s 8,350 yuan."
Tan Hua picked one out for Qi Sheng, then led him to the checkout counter.
As the POS machine printed out the receipt, Tan Hua completed a sale in the 200,000-yuan range, earning her a special round of praise from the store manager.
It was rare for a new employee to land such a major client right after starting.
Even though the client was Tan Hua’s boyfriend, it didn’t stop the manager from praising her at all.
As for the other sales associates’ jealousy, if they were so capable, they could find their own rich-kid boyfriends willing to spend that kind of money on them.
Getting off work early, Tan Hua changed out of her LV uniform.
She wrapped her arm around her boyfriend’s, chattering away happily about the trivial matters with her colleagues.
Qi Sheng listened patiently, offering advice from time to time.
"By the way, where are you staying now?"
It occurred to Tan Hua that Qi Sheng had rushed over and probably hadn’t found a place to stay yet, and she felt a little conflicted.
If she let Qi Sheng stay at her place, she was afraid he would eat her all up, leaving no crumbs behind.
They had been together for less than half a month.
She wasn’t ready to give herself to him so hastily.
"I’ve rented an apartment at National Gold Mansion and had the concierge arrange for someone to clean it, but I’ll just stay in a hotel tonight."
Qi Sheng deliberately played pitiful, his intentions transparent.
"What do you mean, a hotel? That’s a waste of money. Just stay at my place for now. But let me be clear, I’m not ready yet. I hope you can understand."
Tan Hua rolled her eyes at Qi Sheng, refusing to let him stay in a hotel.
Since they had decided to be in a relationship, she naturally didn’t want Qi Sheng to spend money unnecessarily.
"Don’t worry. Until I have your consent, I’ll be a perfect gentleman."
No matter how impatient Qi Sheng was, a few more days wouldn’t kill him.
’As long as we’re living together, is there any fear of not getting a taste of the meat?’
"Okay, then let’s go get hot pot first. We’ll go back to my place later tonight. Once your apartment is cleaned, I’ll go with you to buy some daily necessities, and then you can move in."
Tan Hua linked her arm through Qi Sheng’s, methodically laying out their plans.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Qi Sheng was naturally happy to relax. Having a girlfriend was really different.
