Chapter 72 - Who Is Your Boss? (2/2)
Du Xiaoxian wanted to discuss with her, “How about…we accept one bag?”
Wang Qian smiled, “It’s up to you. Anyway, they all belonged to your family. Come and get them whenever you want!”
Du Xiaoxian looked at the capable manager and said timidly, “I…I’ll just take one thing!”
“Alright, choose for yourself. I’ll save the rest for you. You can come and get it whenever you want!” The manager said with a smile.
Du Xiaoxian picked the first pair of shoes she had liked and glanced at Wang Qian, “You pick one thing too.”
Most of the things in these paper bags were something Wang Qian had seen and touched, because she had looked and touched them first, Du Xiaoxian would follow her lead. So these things were all picked by Wang Qian. She looked at this and that, feeling that she liked all of them very much. After a long time, she picked a dress happily. The shopping guide went back to take a dress of her size and packed it up again.
The two girls walked out of the mall, each with a bag in hand.
At this time, a young man who had been hiding behind the pillar took out his phone and called someone, “Boss, Du Xiaoxian took a pair of shoes and gave a skirt to her friend. Alright, I know!”
After Du Xiaoxian separated with Wang Qian, she did not call Xiaoding to pick them up because in the bus station nearby, a bus would arrive directly at the downstairs of Gu’s Company. She was still carrying a bus card with her, so she jumped on the bus without thinking.
When she arrived at Gu’s Company, it was almost the end of working time. Zhou Ting was packing her things when she saw her coming in. She smiled and greeted her, “Xiaoxian, wow, what did you buy? Let me see.”
Du Xiaoxian placed it on the table and opened it as if she was offering a treasure, “Does it look good? The young master gave it to me.”
Of course, Du Xiaoxian’s taste couldn’t be compared with the high-end white-collar beauty Secretary Zhou. In Zhou Ting’s eyes, it was just a pair of childish shoes. The single layer of calf leather was very soft and the sole of the shoes was also good. It must be very comfortable, but she really didn’t think it was pretty. However, she couldn’t hurt the little girl, so she smiled and nodded, “Yes, very pretty. Hurry up and go in, the boss is waiting for you!”
Du Xiaoxian put her shoes in the shoe box and the shoe box in the paper bag. Then she smiled and waved at Zhou Ting before entering Gu Nianbin’s office.
Seeing that it was his little girl coming in, President Gu immediately had expression on his poker face. He leaned on the big chair with a vague smile and looked at her, “What good things did you buy?”
His tone contained a hint of mockery, actually the same as Zhou Ting’s. Du Xiaoxian did not recognize Zhou Ting’s tone, but she did recognize her young master’s. She embarrassedly opened it again and showed it to him, “I picked it. Do you think it’s okay?”
Gu Nianbin picked up the shoes, looked at them and smiled, “As long as you like it!” However, he suddenly realized that he hadn’t received the massage reminding him of this cost. He asked curiously, “Didn’t you use the card?”
Du Xiaoxian said, “Yes, they said that you paid for it and asked me to just take it away.”
Gu Nianbin frowned slightly. Thing weren’t simple…
“Which shopping mall did you buy it from?”
Du Xiaoxian was also stunned hearing his question. Could it be that the shopping mall was not owned by the young master? It was not the young master who paid for it? Then… who could it be…
Gu Nianbin knew Du Xiaoxian was scared again seeing her panicked expression. He hurriedly hugged her and said, “It’s fine, just tell me in which shopping mall you bought it.”
“Jinxiu Shopping Mall!”
It was really him. Gu Nianbin thought with contempt, how childish!
“You like these shoes?”
Du Xiaoxian felt that something was wrong and hurriedly said, “I don’t like it very much. It’s fine to return it.”
Gu Nianbin looked at her being so anxious and changed his mind. It was rare for his little girl to pick something she liked herself. He needed to let her keep it, even though those shoes made him feel a little disgusting.
“Keep it if you like.” Gu Nianbin wrapped her loose hair behind her ears. She went out in the morning with a nicely knitted braid and came back with a messy hairstyle at the end of school. Her fluffy little head pressed against his chin, making him itch slightly.
“Didn’t you buy it?” Du Xiaoxian was silent for a moment before raising her small face to ask.
Looking at her clear eyes, Gu Nianbin didn’t want to hide anything from her. He shook his head and said, “No, but you can keep it.”
“You know who it is, don’t you?” Du Xiaoxian could also think. Gu Nianbin did not like her to take anything from others, but he let her keep it. This meant that he must know who that person was.
“Yes.” Gu Nianbin said, “I’ll give him the money. Consider it a gift from me, you don’t have to worry about anything.”
Du Xiaoxian looked at him and asked carefully, “Will you be unhappy?”
“Of course not,” Gu Nianbin smiled and pinched her face. He couldn’t help kissing her smooth face again, “As long as you like it, I won’t be angry. Besides, I’ll give him the money. You can think that I bought it.”
Alright, Du Xiaoxian agreed with him. Anyway, the young master will pay back the money, so she can accept it at ease.
“Also…” She rubbed her hands embarrassedly, “I gave a skirt to my classmate. She likes it very much.”
“OK, I’ll pay for the skirt, too.”
Du Xiaoxian finally stopped hesitating and rubbed against his chest, expressing her gratitude in a coyly manner.
