Chapter 72 - Who Is Your Boss? (1/2)
Du Xiaoxian and Wang Qian looked at each other. Someone bought it for her? Who was it…
Wang Qian hurriedly looked around. There were customers shopping leisurely, but no one seemed suspicious.
Seeing Du Xiaoxian remained silent, the shopping guide handed the paper bag over again, “Miss, this is already yours.”
Du Xiaoxian had never been in such a situation before, so she subconsciously hid behind Wang Qian. Wang Qian asked her in a low voice, “Don’t you know who it is?”
Du Xiaoxian shook her head. Wang Qian asked, “Are you taking it?”
Du Xiaoxian still shook her head. She surely would not take things without knowing who gave it to her.
Wang Qian then asked the shopping guide, “Who bought it? Did he leave a name?”
“It’s a gentleman. He paid and left without saying his name.”
“Then we can’t take it. I’m sorry.” Wang Qian took Du Xiaoxian’s arm and was about to leave.
The shopping guide became anxious and ran in front of them with the paper bag, “Miss, these shoes have been paid for, so we can’t take them back. Please accept them!”
“But we can’t take it either not knowing who had paid for it!” Wang Qian said.
“But…” The shopping guide looked at Du Xiaoxian awkwardly, “That gentleman made it clear that it was for Miss Du! He paid the bill and told us to give it to Miss Du. If Miss Du doesn’t accept it, then…I can’t take it either!”
While Wang Qian was talking to the shopping guide, Du Xiaoxian had been standing behind her, glancing at the shopping guide from time to time. Suddenly, she grabbed Wang Qian’s hand and shouted, “Run!”
Wang Qian did not understand what was going on, so she followed her and ran forward quickly, leaving the dumbstruck shopping guide behind.
It was until they ran up the escalator did Wang Qian asked with heavy breaths, “What was wrong? Who…who did you see?”
“Nobody,” Du Xiaoxian gasped, “I just want to leave her!” Du Xiaoxian was one-track minded. When she couldn’t think of a way to get rid of something, she usually ran!
Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, “Run if you can’t talk it through. This is also a method.”
The two of them leaned against the pillar for a while and began to window-shop on the second floor. The second floor was all exquisite women’s clothing. Wang Qian’s eyes lit up and took Du Xiaoxian in every shop. Strangely, as soon as they entered the shops, the shopping guides inside would bow to them with a smile on their faces and said respectfully, “Hello, Miss Du!”
Du Xiaoxian couldn’t take this the most, so she clutched Wang Qian’s clothes helplessly. She didn’t know why could these people recognize her. Moreover, why were they so respectful to her?!
Wang Qian was a little suspicious, looked at Du Xiaoxian and said, “Xiaoxian, why do I feel that this shopping mall is owned by your family?”
Du Xiaoxian was stunned. She knew that Gu Nianbin had countless money, but she had never heard him say that he owned such a big shopping mall! Du Xiaoxian was puzzled herself and said, “Really?”
Wang Qian said, “Don’t tell me you don’t know yourself?”
Du Xiaoxian shook her head in confusion. Wang Qian thought it made sense, Du Xiaoxian had just come back, so she was not familiar with her family’s properties. It must be like this!
This was the first time Wang Qian had received such treatment in a shopping mall. She felt very happy and looked at Du Xiaoxian with even greater respect! Since there was the young lady accompanying her, Wang Qian simply held her head high and accepted the respect of the shopping guides generously. On the contrary, Du Xiaoxian followed her cowardly. People who didn’t know the truth would think Wang Qian was the Miss Du shopping guides were calling!
At this moment, Wang Qian remembered, “Xiaoxian, if this mall belonged to your family, then what happened just now would be easy to explain. You are the young lady, of course you can take whatever you like at will.”
Du Xiaoxian said, “If it’s owned by my family, then I can’t take it anymore. Shouldn’t I keep it for sale?”
“It’s just a pair of shoes.” Wang Qian pointed to the magnificent decorations, “Your family is too rich to care about a pair of shoes!”
Could this really be the young master’s property? How much does it cost to buy this place? Looking at the dazzling variety of goods, Du Xiaoxian started to become confused. She didn’t dare to imagine that huge number, but she was actually very proud of her young master. She was an extremely simple girl who would show her feelings on the face. Capturing the slight pride on Du Xiaoxian’s face, Wang Qian confirmed her guess.
They window-shopped along the way leisurely before having some juice at the resting zone. Finally they went downstairs after feeling tired. Just as they reached the gate, someone shouted, “Miss Du, please wait a moment!”
Du Xiaoxian turned back holding Wang Qian’s hand and was frightened by a group of pink-uniformed shopping guides. Everyone of them was holding two paper bags, looking at her with bright smiles. Du Xiaoxian was a little scared seeing this, so she couldn’t help but take a step back.
After all, Wang Qian had seen the world before. She pretended to cough calmly and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Our boss told us to wrap up whatever Miss Du has seen and touched and let her take it away.” The lady in the front should be a manager. She looked mature and capable wearing her hair in a bun.
Well, this time, they didn’t act in a deliberately mystifying manner and mentioned their boss directly.
“Who is your boss?” Wang Qian asked carefully. If she guessed right, it must be Du Xiaoxian’s brother.
“The boss doesn’t like to mention his name. He just hoped Miss Du will accept it. Welcome back next time!” As she spoke, she handed the paper bags in her hand to Du Xiaoxian.
How could Du Xiaoxian dare to take them? Just now, a pair of shoes had frightened her. Now… she roughly estimated that there must be at least twenty bags. Even if she really wanted it, she could not take so many things! Du Xiaoxian bit her lips. She remembered what Gu Nianbin had said. His belongings were hers. She had to accept the things he gave her. Otherwise, he would be angry.
Wang Qian whispered to her, “What should we do? Do we accept it or not?”
