Chapter 99: Shopping
Shen Xiaoxiao had never felt that time pa.s.sed so slowly. After paying respects to her ancestors and sending her Third Uncle off, she could not wait to have 19 drive her back to the Villa District.
However, her luck was not good. She rushed back in a hurry, but Yan Kuan was not there.
This made Shen Xiaoxiao rather vexed. When the call went through, Yan Kuan answered it quickly.
“Little thing, you’re back so early? Did you miss me?”
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard this, she was first stunned. However, it was rare for her to say to the person on the other end of the phone, “Yes, I missed you.”
Yan Kuan clearly did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to answer in this way. He was stunned for two seconds before he reacted. However, he did not follow Shen Xiaoxiao’s words and directly said, “Little thing, do you have something to ask me?”
Shen Xiaoxiao choked. What a sharp person. He could even think of this?
“Can’t I miss you if I have nothing to do?”
“Of course you can. However, this does not suit your style. You can only think about it secretly. It is impossible for you to say that you miss me. At least, it is impossible at this moment.”
“Do you really know me that well? Seriously!”
“As for how much I know about you, you can slowly explore it! Alright, I’ll be back tonight. We’ll talk about it tonight.”
The phone hung up with a bang. There was no chance for Shen Xiaoxiao to react at all. Yan Kuan, on the other hand, was getting busier and busier.
Shen Xiaoxiao held the phone and was in a terrible mood. The more anxious you were, the slower this matter would come.
However, Yan Kuan could not come back. No matter how anxious she was, it was useless.
“19, get ready. I’m going out for a while.”
Since there was nothing she could do even if she was anxious now, she might as well go out for a walk to ease her anxious mood.
Grandma Lin was recovering very well. The one-on-one service of the medical staff that Yan Kuan had found allowed the old woman to be taken care of very well.
However, her eyes had been damaged too much in her early years. In addition, she had been through too much suffering over the years, and she was old, so that was the only thing she could do.
Grandma Lin was very happy to see Shen Xiaoxiao come over. However, because she could not talk much and was completely focused on cultivation, Shen Xiaoxiao accompanied her for a few hours until she fell asleep. Then, she slowly left.
For a moment, she did not know where to go. It was rare that there was no snow today, and there was still a little bit of sunlight.
“Miss, the New Year is in a week. Boss’ birthday is on the first day of the New Year. Do you want to go shopping?”
“His birthday is on the first day of the New Year?”
Yan Kuan was actually born on the same month and day as Shen Xiaoxiao?
“Yes, but Boss never celebrates his birthday. Miss, do you want to go shopping?”
19 was doing this out of kindness. He could also see that Miss was bored. It was the New Year soon. It was better to encourage her to go shopping. Didn’t girls at this age like to go shopping?
“Go shopping?”
Shen Xiaoxiao automatically ignored the matter of buying a birthday present. She suddenly remembered the batch of diamonds in her hands.
At that time, to avoid any problems on the way, Shen Xiaoxiao cleverly bought a limited-edition water diamond doll. She used those diamonds as water diamonds and inlaid them on the crystal doll. She also sent them back to her Third Uncle through the mail.
She had already sorted out those diamonds. They were all top-notch items. The smallest of them weighed one carat. If she were to sell such a large number of diamonds, it would be a considerable price. However, Shen Xiaoxiao was not clear about the price of these diamonds. It would be better to go to the mall and find out.
“Okay, let’s go shopping then.”
19 immediately brought Shen Xiaoxiao to the most luxurious and top-grade luxury goods mall in the capital. Shen Xiaoxiao wore a light pink sweater dress with a dark purple down jacket on the outside. Paired with a pair of snow boots, she looked delicate and cute.
“It’s really warm inside.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s silly words made 19 secretly laugh. Sometimes, Miss acted like a child who had never seen it before, but other times, it made people feel that she knew a lot of things and was very profound.
However, after thinking about it, as a Little Oriental Loli, Miss had stayed abroad for 11 years. It was common for her to not know about these things.
Therefore, 19 was kind enough to explain to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Miss, this is the most prosperous area in the capital. It is also the top shopping mall where luxury goods are gathered.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. Didn’t he just say that? Why did he say it again? Or did 19 really think she was an idiot?
“Oh, I know. Which floor is the jewelry on?”
“Jewelry? It’s on the eighth floor.”
19’s first reaction was naturally that Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to buy jewelry. After all, there was no woman who did not like diamond jewelry. He followed Shen Xiaoxiao directly into the destination.
It was almost the New Year, and it was a Sat.u.r.day. There were quite a lot of people in the shopping mall. The level of consumption and economic standards of the people had been greatly improved. In addition, it was almost the New Year, so there were many people who came here to buy New Year goods.
Today, the eighth floor was especially crowded. After asking, they found out that the famous foreign jewelry brand, ‘Misty Dream’, had opened its flags.h.i.+p store in Kyoto. It had invited the famous movie star, Miss An Ning, to cut the ribbon and also held a press conference.
It was really possible to meet acquaintances everywhere.
Walking through the elevator on one side, the other side was already crowded with people, fans, onlookers, and reporters. There were a lot of people.
Today’s peace was also exceptionally beautiful. She wore a pink dress and stood on a sky-high platform. She wore a white woolen coat. She looked exceptionally refres.h.i.+ng and pleasant, but she was also even more beautiful and freezing.
She did not even wear a pair of silk stockings on her bare long legs. However, when she thought of the temperature in the mall, Shen Xiaoxiao smiled self-deprecatingly. She was really worried about nothing.
“Miss, there are a lot of people over there. Why don’t we go to Alin for a walk first?”
“Okay.”
As the world’s top jewelry industry, Alin had its own custom-made jewelry, as well as a limited edition of all kinds of jewelry that people coveted.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect that her luck today would be so good that she would actually meet someone familiar again. It was someone she did not expect to meet. Gu Yuehua and Liu Yufei.
Her footsteps paused for a moment, but she still walked straight into the shop. There were not many customers in Alin today. Most of them went to the flags.h.i.+p store of Misty Dream. However, as one of the top luxury stores in the world, it was impossible for Alin not to have its own advantages.
There were a few wealthy ladies or wives sitting at the counter to choose their favorite jewelry.
“Mom, do you think the earrings look good? But I think the diamonds are a little small.”
“Yes, they look pretty good. Your earlobes are very thick. This is a natural blessing. No matter what kind of earrings you wear, they look good.”
Listening to the mother and daughter’s boasting, Shen Xiaoxiao laughed mockingly. Using her Shen family’s money to cover up the stench all over her body. These two, mother and daughter, really made people feel disgusted. They even said that they were blessed. How could it be the turn of this pair of b*tches to be blessed? Dream on!
