Due to the special nature of the clothes, the shop a.s.sistant only started packing them when the person receiving it arrived.
In order to avoid problems like creases, the shop a.s.sistant carefully placed it in a custom-made bag. Then, she checked it three times and confirmed that there were no mistakes before handing it over.
However, she didn’t hide her movements. Sofia, who was standing in the shop, naturally saw it too.
“Sell this to me. I’ll give you five times the price.” Sofia raised her chin, her posture filled with arrogance. “I can overlook your rudeness just now.
It was as if, in her opinion, such a price was already a charity or a gift, and the other party should be grateful for her acceptance and offer what she wanted.
Unfortunately, this was Sofia’s wishful thinking.
The man didn’t care what these people were talking about at all. As for the shop a.s.sistant, she wouldn’t talk about selling it.
“Take it.” The shop a.s.sistant handed the package to the man and watched him leave.
Jiang Weiyang stared at the man’s back and thought of what she had just heard. She looked at the shop a.s.sistant and asked.
“Did Murong Qiao buy it?” she asked.
When the shop a.s.sistant heard the other party mention the name, she subconsciously glanced at her screen and revealed a surprised expression.
“We keep our guests’ information confidential,” the clerk said.
However, Jiang Weiyang had already learned her answer from her reaction. At first, Sofia’s attention was still on the dress. Then, she heard the word “Murong” several times in a row and her gaze drifted over.
Although she didn’t know the language, she had heard this name many times when she met Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao.
This person know Murong Qiao?
Sofia’s gaze landed on Jiang Weiyang beside her with a vague gaze, her thoughts running wild.
On the other hand, Jiang Weiyang was thinking about Murong Qiao and didn’t notice Sofia’s reaction.
It was impossible to buy the dress.
Jiang Weiyang made a judgment in her heart. Then, she looked at the designer’s name on the display window. Thinking that this person seemed to have a good relationship with her Big Brother, she had an idea.
If the ident.i.ty of the person in front of her was enough to satisfy her, she could use her Big Brother’s name to order one.
“I know this designer. If you like this piece, they might be able to make another one,” Jiang Weiyang said after some deliberation.
Before she figured out the background of this obviously foreign girl, Jiang Weiyang’s interest only increased.
Sofia was still thinking about how the other party had mentioned Murong Qiao’s name. Although she was angry at the dress, now that something more important had appeared, she simply followed Jiang Weiyang’s words.
It was also with this conversation that the two of them learned each other’s names.
Although she didn’t have a good impression due to Sofia’s persistence in the dress when they first met, Jiang Weiyang, who had the same thoughts, could understand Sofia’s feelings.
In fact, in the following conversation, from the other party’s proper performance and temperament, Jiang Weiyang had a good impression of Sofia.
The afternoon was really a time for people to take a nap, especially when the sunlight gradually fell through the almost un.o.bstructed floor-to-ceilmg
windows.
The golden light seemed to have gained warmth as it wantonly divided the office, allowing the appearance of the light and shadow to outline the level of the s.p.a.ce. However, the beautiful scenery in this life was not appreciated by the people in the room. Instead, it made her a little sleepy.
Murong Qiao originally came to the Huo Corporation to look for Huo Yichen, but after learning that the other party was in a meeting, she sat on the sofa in the office and waited for him.
In the end, as she waited, she went from sitting to lying down.
The feeling of the sunlight shining on her body was like a weightless blanket, warm and tempting the sleepiness in her body to start acting up.
“Wu-” Murong Qiao had no choice but to yawn cooperatively. Before she came, she had been shopping with Ruan Ying and Shen Xi for more than two hours. Now, she gradually relaxed and her eyelids began to droop.
She was almost defenseless against sleepiness and fell asleep. However, after a while, two inappropriate footsteps walked towards the office.
“This is the result of my investigation just now. You re
Ye Zhen followed behind Huo Yichen and was about to hand in his investigation report when he saw Huo Yichen push open the office door and stand at the door.
He looked at Huo Yichen in confusion. In the end, he took another step forward and saw Murong Qiao sleeping soundly on the sofa.
“Give me the report. Go back first,” Huo Yichen said softly.
Even though the distance from the door to the sofa didn’t allow their voices to reach Murong Qiao’s ears, Huo Yichen still subconsciously lowered his voice.
Ye Zhen nodded tactfully and didn’t even say “okay”.
Huo Yichen walked in with the report. Even though he deliberately lightened his footsteps, the sound of shoes stepping against the floor was still a little obvious in the silence.
He should have asked Ye Zhen to lay a carpet.
Huo Yichen frowned. Then, he placed the things on the desk and couldn’t help but look at Murong Qiao.
His gaze stopped on Murong Qiao’s peaceful sleeping face, then moved down to the delicate and cute tip of her nose and slightly pouty pink lips, as well as-
As well as the red marks and arms on her cheeks due to her strange sleeping posture.
…If he really let her sleep like this, she would probably wake up and lose feeling in her arms. Moreover, she would feel uncomfortable.
Huo Yichen frowned, then hesitated for a moment before reaching out to carry Murong Qiao to the lounge.
Perhaps sensing a familiar aura, Murong Qiao didn’t resist Huo Yichen’s embrace at all. When she was picked up, her arms subconsciously wrapped around his neck.
Huo Yichen could sense the subconscious intimacy in her actions and couldn’t help but smile. His terrible mood from the memories just now was much improved now.
He tried his best to lighten his footsteps and pushed open the lounge door with Murong Qiao. Then, he lifted the blanket and was about to put her on the bed and let go when he met Murong Qiao’s misty eyes.
“…Ah Chen?” Her voice sounded a little m.u.f.fled, carrying the sleepiness of someone who had just woken up.
Huo Yichen nodded. “Go back to sleep.”
He wanted to let go and cover the other party up, but Murong Qiao didn’t cooperate. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled Huo Yichen with an almost imperceptible force.
Huo Yichen lowered his head cooperatively and received a kiss.
The originally warm and harmonious atmosphere changed at the moment of separation, and Huo Yichen’s thoughts were the same.
“I was waiting for you…” Murong Qiao said and couldn’t help but yawn. Although she had only slept for a short while, when Murong Qiao opened her eyes and saw that it was Huo Yichen, she immediately didn’t want to wake up. She liked the hazy sleepiness surrounding her. After kissing him, she didn’t want Huo Yichen to leave. Her fingertips hooked onto his dry and warm palm, and she couldn’t help but purse her lips into a sweet smile with dimples.
Her originally tied-up long hair was scattered between the bed, forming a black and beautiful arc. It made her skin look even fairer, like a beautiful and exquisite doll.
Huo Yichen followed her lead. “I’m sorry, the meeting was a little long..”
