Chapter 66 - Many Good Qualities (2/2)

After school, Xie Qingqing couldn’t help eying Tang Qiu’s new, beautiful clothes. “Your outfit didn’t come cheap, did it?”

“It did, actually,” Tang Qiu declared. “My husband bought it for me. By the way, I asked He Lei about the cup you wanted. He said they just picked it up from a random store; I doubt they have any left in stock.”

Xie Qingqing didn’t mind; her remark had been a passing one. When they reached the school gate, He Lei waved to them. “Let him give you a lift,” Tang Qiu said to her friend.

“There’s no need.” Xie Qingqing brushed off the offer, bashful. “My house isn’t on the way.”

He Lei overheard Tang Qiu’s words as he walked over. With a gracious smile, he said, “It’s no trouble, Ms Xie. Do allow me.”

When he put it that way, there was no point standing on ceremony. Xie Qingqing followed Tang Qiu into the car. As they drove, He Lei kept up a steady stream of conversation with Xie Qingqing, hoping to set her at ease.

After dropping Xie Qingqing off, Tang Qiu received a text from her friend:?Your husband’s chauffeur is quite handsome.

Tang Qiu stole a glance at He Lei and replied,?Yes, he is. He’s an all-rounder. He helps us with the housework too. We’re lucky, it helps us to save money.?

Xie Qingqing responded,?Are you going to keep hyping him up, or do you have plans to set us up?

I’m just proving my husband has great taste in aides, Tang Qiu texted back.?One of his many good qualities.?

Shut up, came her friend’s reply.

When they arrived at the mansion, Tang Qiu took a closer look at He Lei. He really was rather attractive.

“Is something wrong, Young Mistress?”

With a laugh, Tang Qiu replied, “Someone told me that they think you’re handsome. I must say, they’re right.”

He Lei lifted his head and saw his young master sitting at the doorstep with a brooding expression. The young mistress must be trying to get him killed. Instead of replying, he greeted, “Young Master.”

Tang Qiu ran up to her husband with a smile. Jiang Shaocheng eyed He Lei coldly, a warning lurking in his gaze. His eyes turned warm as he turned to Tang Qiu. “Come on in,” he said, patting her head. He shut the door as she pushed him in.

He Lei stared at the closed door blankly. All that, because the young mistress had complimented him? His young master was too petty.
