Chapter 306 - Going Shopping. (2/2)

When Cixi saw her frown, she could vaguely guess what was happening with her.

”Nice to meet you Mr Luo's colleague.” She said to Marian with a polite smile before turning to face Jaime again.

Making sure the two kids do not hear her, she said within Jaime and Marian's earshot.

”Thanks for the other night. I'll return your sweater soon.”

When she saw Marian's shocked look, she became contented.

”Nice to meet you all. But we have to hurry now.” Cixi said with a genuine smile this time before picking a shoe to go make payment with Joreen following behind her.

As Jaime watched her leave, a tiny smile appeared on his face.

Since the area was undergoing redevelopment, the whole place was noisy and roudy.

Buildings were being raised and demolished, except the particular building which Jianjun had been staring at for close to an hour.

He had not bothered to come here years ago because he did not want to bring back old memories but now, he was finally here.

He could not go in since the place was being renovated and it was not safe to walk inside but merely looking at the outside, he began to remember the past.

His father, his mother.

He continued to remember everything to the very moment the place was taken away from them.

He felt his eyes begin to water and when he thought the tears was going to fall, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Changyu had allowed him brood all he wanted.

She had been resting her body on her car while watching him the entire time. And she did not want him to remain like that.

Jianjun slowly turned to face her. To face the woman who made him speechless every time.

”We should return now. It's late.” She said in a gentle voice before taking his hand.

But he did not move.

”I cannot let you do this.” He knew it was not the time to let his pride get in between, but he did not want her to just do everything.

It was not only her fault that his parents died. It was his also.

He knew it was dangerous to keep seeing her even after her parents warned him not to.

But he had continued going to her place.

”I want to do it.” She refused to give up.

If she wanted to do something, nothing was ever going to stop her.

”It's too much. I do not have the funds to handle this.” He explained to her.

”It seems you are the only one who does not know about me and what I am capable of.”

”It's too expensive.” He maintained.

”Brother Jun... This is your parents' restaurant. It's yours!”

”You can just take it as a gift then. A gift for raising our daughter well.” She added.

”I did not raise her because I wanted to be rewarded by you”

”Fine! The building is mine then. You can just become a shareholder or something. Deal? Deal!” She concluded without giving him any other option.

”You did not even give me a chance to accept or decline first” He grumbled.

”I don't like to give people chances.”

She quickly took his hand and forced him to follow her.

”Let's go shop for items we would be starting our new restaurant with. You also have to buy us dresses to wear for Sara's wedding.”

As Jianjun followed her, he knew he was on his way to being broke, because there was no way he was ever going to buy her a dress what was less in quality to the ones she usually wore.

He only hoped that Sara would forgive him for spending so much on Changyu when he did not buy her any designer's dress.
