Chapter 629 - She Definitely Had To Beat Her To The Punch
"I just arrived. I was about to go up when I saw you coming out." Wei Zhengsheng smiled and took the bag from her. "Are you going to the shop? Let"s go together, I"ll help you."
"What are you trying to do? How can someone like you, who can easily earn tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in business, help me in my little shop?" Xian Guiying smiled and walked out of the building together with him.
"Aren"t you the CEO of Xian Enterprise too? If you can, why can"t I?" Wei Zhengsheng naturally intertwined their hands together. Xian Guiying gasped in surprise. He held her hand tightly, not giving her any chance to struggle.
Xian Guiying coughed lightly and turned to look at him. Seeing the smile on his face, she didn"t say anything.
"Wuyuan is not a big place. Walking from the house to the shop on Square Street only takes me about ten minutes or so. I don"t even have to drive." Xian Guiying said suddenly to rid the sudden awkwardness.
"I can accompany you here every day, but Guiying, you don"t belong here. If you want to stay here, at least you should go back to the United States to get married first, right?"
"Who wants to marry you?" The corner of Xian Guiying"s mouth twitched. "I said, Mr. Wei, you are quite shameless now. Do you forget that I"m still not divorced?"
"Who cares? Sooner or later, you still will get divorced." Wei Zhengsheng smiled and put his arm around her shoulder, "So what if I"m shameless? You can"t change your mind now, it"s too late!"
Xian Guiying let out a "Tch" sound. She then saw a store on East Street selling unique Yunnan jewelry. She saw some wind bells hanging in front of the door. They waved in the wind gently.
"I heard that phoenix bells are very popular in Yunnan." Wei Zhengsheng also looked at it.
"Yes, they come in a pair. One of them is a dragon bell, it can emit one kind of sound; meanwhile, the phoenix bell would emit another sound. When they are put together, they can emit a third sound."
"Do you like it?" Wei Zhengsheng walked in front of the jewelry store and picked up a pair of gold dragon and phoenix bells. He fiddled with them with his hand and immediately heard the tinkling sounds.
Xian Guiying pulled him from the store and smiled. "Why? Are you going to buy it for me? I"m no longer in my early twenties, what"s the point of buying such a small accessory?"
"I really like it." Wei Zhengsheng walked back to the store, smiling. He spent fifteen yuan and bought a pair of gold phoenix-dragon bells. He hung the phoenix bell on his phone and gave the dragon bell to her. "Do you want to hang it on your phone or keep it?"
Xian Guiying: "..."
Seeing that she was very embarra.s.sed and didn"t say anything, Wei Zhengsheng hung the dragon bell on a cloth bag around her waist.
"I really didn"t expect you, Wei Zhengsheng, to have such a childish nature. Why did you buy this stuff?" Xian Guiying was helpless but smiled as she pinched the dragon bell.
"Haven"t you ever heard of it? Once the man reaches an old age, the childishness will come out of his bones." Wei Zhengsheng held out his hand again. "Don"t forget, I"m already thirty-four."
Xian Guiying stuck out her tongue and didn"t reject his hand. Her gaze then shifted slightly and her footstep abruptly stopped.
Wei Zhengsheng noticed a slight change in her expression and followed her gaze.
"Ying Ying, let"s stay in Wuyuan for a few more days. Let"s go to Likeng Village, Rainbow Bridge, then ..."
"Stop. I"m going to ask for directions." Bai Nuying pushed her talking friend to the side, then walked to a nearby store to ask for directions.
"Bai Nuying?" Wei Zhengsheng frowned slightly at the sight of Bai Nuying.
He immediately looked at Xian Guiying and only saw her indifferent expression. Noticing his gaze, she smiled, "Let"s go to the shop. There are a lot of tourists today. I"ve been closing my shop early for the past few days."
With that, she withdrew her hand and walked towards Square Street.
As they both walked, the bells of the dragon and phoenix vibrated loudly.
"Auntie, have you seen this person before?" Bai Nuying opened her bag and showed a photo of Qin Gengxin to the woman in the store.
"Oh, he"s handsome, but I"ve never seen him before. Little girl, who is he to you?"
Bai Nuying smile until her face was covered with sweetness. "He"s my boyfriend ~"
After saying that, she walked out of the store and left.
"Mingxia, if you"re tired, go to the shop across the street and buy a drink. I"ll keep asking."
East Main Road was the main road of Wuyuan Ancient City. Since Qin Gengxin was here, he must have walked past here. With his appearance, there will definitely be someone who will remember him by chance.
The girl who was called Mingxia, sighed and said helplessly, "You are very stubborn. Then I"ll go to the other side to buy a drink and sit there waiting for you."
"As the saying goes, when a woman chases her man, even a mountain can"t separate them. If I"m not stubborn, Brother Gengxin will disappear from my grip." Bai Nuying stuck her tongue out at her. "You go first."
Bai Nuying turned around and casually glanced down the street.
Suddenly, she saw two figures who were no strangers to her.
She immediately took two steps forward and hesitantly looked at the woman"s figure in the white dress and the man walking next to her.
Why did the woman look similar to Xian Guiying?
However, the man next to her was not Qin Gengxin.
Was she wrong?
She already knew that Qin Gengxin and Xian Guiying had already divorced and then she disappeared out of nowhere. Now Qin Gengxin suddenly came to Wuyuan. It was only because Bai Nuying kept pestering her friend who worked at the airport that she knew Qin Gengxin came here to find Xian Guiying. In short, whether he did find her or not, Bai Nuying definitely had to beat Xian Guiying to the punch.
• • • •
Xian Guiying didn"t say anything along the way, but as Wei Zhengsheng"s grip on her hand tightened, she knew he was calming her down.
"Bai Nuying come to Wuyuan definitely to find him. You don"t have to worry about me. I already knew about them when I made that phone call a year ago. Neither he nor she won"t affect me much."
"I heard from Shanyuan you made a phone call to Qin Gengxin when Qianqian was in critical condition."
"Forget it, let"s not talk about those things anymore. It"s an old thing. At first, I was too embarra.s.sed to let you help in my shop, but since you came here for me and wanted to stay by my side, then I wouldn"t reject a free offer like this. Since Shanyuan will be back in the city soon, then you can help me for a few days, so I can enjoy my free time!"
Seeing that she seemed to let go of everything, Wei Zhengsheng chuckled and didn"t say anything else.
