Chapter 654 - Don’t Overthink It (2/2)
Gu Nianzhi noticed how naked she felt under the gown, and although she didn’t want to, she still accepted the clothes from him and asked, “What about my own clothes?”
“They’re in the wash”
“Oh? What aboutin there cos that had survived the deadly ordeal with her She treasured them now
“They’re all here I took them out for you and put the to her Inside were her Swiss Arhter, one sanitary napkin, and her wallet Gu Nianzhi relaxed and took the black plastic bag and the clothes with her to the bathroom
She had still been weak earlier and had difficulty even sitting, but now she was able to get out of bed and go shower shortly after she had food She was recovering so quickly… Reinitz contemplated it as he watched her disappear into the bathroom He then turned to leave He closed the door to Gu Nianzhi’s roouards They saluted Reinitz as soon as he walked out, but he didn’t even look at them “Watch her carefully No one is allowed inside”
He took out a pack of cigarettes and walked to the s, so snated areas downstairs in front of the stairwell Reinitz lit his cigarette and inhaled deeply, his eyes staring blankly ahead He sees at the sa for their lives together on the Alps and recalling how Gu Nianzhi was as a person… Reinitz looked down and threw the cigarette butt into the trash with a flick of his fingers before heading back to the hospital
He thought he was overthinking it, al When he returned to Gu Nianzhi’s roo and sat on the couch in a daze Fro, seaweed-like hair draped against the light gray sweater, and the black high-waisted A-line skirt accentuated her thin waist like a newly sproutedtree in the spring Reinitz stood at the door to ad on the door and coughing quietly
Gu Nianzhi composed herself and looked back to see Reinitz had returned She stood up and quickly walked to hihtly “Reinitz, didn’t you say you were takingher personally and confir that she was ok, Gu Nianzhi knew she couldn’t feel at ease
“Right now?” Reinitz glanced at his watch It was only 10areat” Gu Naiznhi twirled around, her skirt fluttering naturally to reveal the beautiful curves of her long, slim calves “I’m all better now”
Reinitz looked away and said softly, “Ok” It was like he couldn’t bear to refuse any of her requests Walking out of the ward, he used his phone to call a cab, then notified St Joseph’s Hospital He cao now” Gu Nianzhi was still carrying the black plastic bag as she made her way to hi that?” He frowned, the plastic bag didn’t ant outfit at all and was a total eyesore for his taste Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t relinquish the plastic bag no s that she refused to part with for even a ainst her stubbornness, so he could only allow her to take it He took her out of the Charlotte Hospital They got into the cab but instead of taking her directly to St Joseph’s Hospital, Reinitz took theshi+p store in Berlin
Gu Nianzhi stiffened when she saw the store frolance at Reinitz, and her eyes sparkled like she was thinking about so Reinitz looked back at her with his deep blue eyes that were also very eleefulness “Reinitz, why did you bring , of course You’ll only embarrassto the hospital,” Reinitz reot out first then walked around to open the door for Gu Nianzhi He was very polite and was a perfect gentleet out, but she considered it and kneas even ot out but didn’t go inside Her beside the cab, she squinted at the tall store doors and shook her head at Renitz “No thanks These bags are too expensive I don’t want one and can’t afford it”
“I’ll gift it to you,” Reinitz replied softly and reached out to take her hand and walk her inside
“I can’t accept that” Gu Nianzhi cocked her head and refused his kindness once again She wasn’t sos She accepted all the luxury goods fro with peace of mind but not from Reinitz
He stared at her and replied softly, “It’s only a gift What you mean you can’t accept it? Don’t overthink it”
Gu Nianzhi was speechless She felt like she was fighting a losing battle Blinking, she was about to find another excuse to refuse and suddenly recalled she still had her wallet with bank and credit cards inside Although the li and He Zhichu’s, it was still plenty to buy a Her If she used her own card to shop here, then it could potentially leave clues for the people trying to find her… Gu Nianzhi iled “Ok, I was overthinking it How about this, I’ll buy it ain “How did you know I liked Hers?”
“Really? I didn’t know Guess it was a coincidence” Reinitz chuckled and took her hand to walk into the Hershi+p store The employees inside bowed to them, especially to Reinitz He walked into the world class luxury store with his back straight, appearing so elegant that he was reminiscent of old European aristocratic blood This was a completely different person than the half-naked inning
Gu Nianzhi’s gaze fell on the classic and new styles of handbags in the store’s display Her eyes sparkled, and she secretly thought about how Reinitz had so entle and honest Alps shi+p store She didn’t kno Reinitz had grown up…
Reinitz bent down and spoke to her in English, “Which one do you like? Have them show it to you” Gu Nianzhi focused and i, the Verrou It wasn’t too big and was perfect for her belongings It was also a pure blue that reminded her of the sapphire lakes they had seen in the Alps The price was not too high, only 8,000 USD, and while it was s, it was still a lot less than other Hermes ones And most importantly, it would not be over Gu Nianzi’s credit card li “This one It’s convenient for carrying” Shtly colored–this one had all the criteria Gu Nianzhi had for a bag of that size
Reinitz had also noticed the salance, and the price should be within acceptable range for Gu Nianzhi, so she wouldn’t be concerned with accepting it as a gift He nodded to the e me a new one”
The e… There’s only this one for now If you want it, then…” Gu Nianzhi instantly knew that Her a scarcity tactic as soon as the e to si but had to force custos like belts, accessories, and scarves for the so called purpose of “building a relationshi+p” Once there was a relationshi+p, the e they wanted was in stock! It was all a big show Customers should be able to buy as in stock, if they could afford it Otherwise, they wouldn’t buy it What was the point?
Gu Nianzhi pouted and was about to say they should go when Reinitz took out a card from his wallet and remarked coolly, “Do you have stock now?” The eht of it It was the Herures in US dollars annually to qualify for it Of course, such cardholders could buy whatever they pleased as long as Hermes had it in stock
“Yes, yes! Absolutely!” The e over backwards with respect Gu Niaznhi frowned froly She noticed her new shoes They were a pair of famous red-soled Christian Louboutins The uppers were fine-quality, black calf leather with leather soles, however, the botto, the bright red soles were slightly visible and had a self-restraining sense of allure when they alked in
Gu Nianzhi knew Reinitz had bought theoods, but it had to be this brand for some reason… Reintiz’s tastes were probably similar to his personality As Gu Nianzhi pondered, she quickly glanced at hiht at her, and they locked eyes Then they both looked away like nothing was happening
Gu Nianzhi found her LV wallet in the black plastic bag and took out a black card to pass to the employee The employee didn’t accept it but only smiled at Reinitz Reinitz took the black credit card froe it to this” With one hand novement, he had already swapped his own black credit card to pass to the employee and kept Gu Nianzhi’s in his palm Reinitz’s ic trick Neither Gu Nianzhi nor the employee noticed that the card the employee took was already swapped
“Ok, thank you” The employee accepted the card and walked to the back of the store She went to the storeroo, then took it to the register to process the transaction Finally, she brought the receipt over for Gu Nianzhi to sign The card number printed on the receipt was blacked out with X’s for security
