Chapter 243 - Too Suspicious (1/2)

Ling Sheng packed up her new shopping bags, feeling so blessed that small bubbles popped up in her heart. There was not a single girl who did not like shopping—buying pretty clothes, shoes, and bags. Besides, they had been personally chosen by the number one fashionista in China, Lu Yubai.

“You’re that happy?” Huo Ci leaned against the door frame and gave her a lazy look. She was such a good-for-nothing that she had been bribed with some purchases.

“Of course.” Ling Sheng turned around, her eyes crinkling as she lifted an exquisite gift box from the table. There was a tie inside, and she smiled as she gestured at him. “This is for you.”

The last time she had bought a tie, the Third Master had taken it away. Since then, she had been quite busy and had forgotten about it. She had picked another one while shopping.

“How many did you buy for Fifth Brother?” For some reason, Huo Ci’s heart ached.

Ling Sheng tiptoed to put on his tie and muttered in confusion, “Why should I buy a tie for Fifth Uncle?”

The corners of Huo Ci’s lips curled up, but he immediately put his expressionless mask back on. “He bought you so many things, but you did not buy anything for him?”

“These items were bought by him because of you. Without you, he would not have known who I am. Even if he wants gifts in return, you can just buy them for his daughter in the future.” Ling Sheng spoke as though this was a fact.

Huo Ci was a tsundere. That brat! Did she think he’d be happy just because she had said that? He just wanted her to pay.

“Tada!” Ling Sheng put on his tie and made a fabulous gesture. Then, she asked in anticipation, “Xiaoqi, how is it?”

Xiaoqi gave her a thumbs-up. “Grandpa is the most handsome man in the world!”

Huo Ci was overjoyed, but his handsome face remained cold. Humph, those two bootlickers!
