Chapter 1161: Starting to Feel a Little Like Home (2/2)

She breathed out a sigh of relief and appeared less nervous.

He took out another item. It was the cowl scarf.

”Just what I need.”

She smiled.

Then he took out the last item—no, two items. There were two belts that looked similar but had different metal buckle designs.

”You got me two?” he asked.

”Oh no!” She gasped and snatched both of the belts.

”What's wrong?”

”Uhm.” Guilt was written all over her face which raised his suspicions.

”Tell me,” he demanded in a low voice.

In the end, she told him the truth about what happened at the menswear boutique. His expression was hard when she finished speaking. Bacon didn't mention this part. The little devil only said that René Alejandro struck a conversation with Long Jinjing at the menswear boutique. Perhaps Bacon was about to tell him the whole story but he stopped the kid after learning that Long Jinjing went shopping for him because he wanted to be surprised. Lu Zihao inwardly sighed at his carelessness.

”Which is the one you chose for me?” he asked.

She held one of the belts to him. He took it and ripped the tag off. Then he stood up and unbuckled the leather belt that he was wearing before tossing it on the coffee table. Then he put on the new leather belt that she bought for him.

”Perfect fit,” he commented.

”You like it?”

”Hm.”

She batted her eyelashes at him and smiled, looking pleased. However, she once again felt guilty upon seeing the other belt that was still in her hands. Lu Zihao snatched it and headed to the kitchen. He was about to dump the damn belt into the trash can but she yelped behind him and rushed forward to take it from him. He didn't let go.

”Why are you stopping me?” He narrowed his eyes at her.

”It's still new. Throwing it away is a big waste. I'll just return it to the store to get my money back.”

”I'll just pay you its price.”

She smacked his chest and walked away in an angry huff. Then she stopped, turned to face him and spat, ”I don't need your money!”
