Chapter 1662: Chapter 1662

A day later, the two appeared at the border line. At the security checkpoint, Li Yifei directly presented his documents. The Vietnamese side only did a simple check before letting them through, and on the domestic side, it was even smoother. Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, each carrying a big bag, hopped into a car and headed straight to Xinkun Airport in the Southern region. Having booked their tickets in advance, they grabbed a bite, checked their luggage, and even managed to bring the two swords onto the plane through special channels.

A few hours later, they arrived at the provincial capital airport. Upon reaching the provincial capital, there was a sense of being home. Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan both felt relaxed. This journey had its thrills and dangers, but they made it through. The pearl was sitting right in Xu Shanshan’s carry-on bag, not with the main luggage, so even if they lost those bags, they wouldn’t be too upset.

On the plane, they both caught up on sleep, something they hadn’t managed in the last month.

Getting off the car, they were met by Chu Xiaoyao and a few bodyguards. After a round of hugs, inside the car, Chu Xiaoyao couldn’t wait to give Li Yifei a big kiss. Xu Shanshan could only roll her eyes and sit in the driver’s seat, ready to drive.

Breathless from the kiss, Chu Xiaoyao released Li Yifei and said to Xu Shanshan, who was driving, "Let’s head into the city first."

Xu Shanshan asked, "What for?"

Chu Xiaoyao replied, "To pick up something. I’ve ordered some stuff and had them prepare it in advance. Since we’re coming to the provincial capital, might as well pick them up."

"So, you’re not here to pick us up, but to get your stuff!" Xu Shanshan glared at Chu Xiaoyao through the rear-view mirror. Chu Xiaoyao puffed her cheeks, nonchalantly saying, "It’s on the way, won’t take long. Let’s go, I’ll guide you."

After saying that, she wrapped her arms around Li Yifei’s arm, snuggled her head over, and playfully said, "Hubby, sorry for the trouble, it won’t take long."

Li Yifei chuckled and nodded, saying, "Okay, Shanshan, take the exit ahead to enter the city."

"You just spoil her!" Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes again.

Li Yifei laughed heartily, saying, "Of course, I’ll spoil her. I’ll spoil each one of you."

Chu Xiaoyao smiled smugly, held Li Yifei’s face, and leaned in for another kiss.

After a sweet kiss, the car had already reached the city center. Following Chu Xiaoyao’s directions, the three arrived at a computer company. This trip was primarily for Chu Xiaoyao to procure equipment, namely those computer materials. Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan stayed in the car while Chu Xiaoyao got out. She placed an order for a few high-end pieces which weren’t very bulky.

This made Xu Shanshan a bit dissatisfied, as Chu Xiaoyao didn’t want to trouble Li Yifei.

Of course, Xu Shanshan wasn’t targeting Chu Xiaoyao; she just enjoyed teasing this little girl, a bit of mischievous fun.

These days, not many people at home can engage in banter, and while it’s lively, everyone keeps a balance. Only someone like Xu Shanshan and Chu Xiaoyao can take the jokes further. Li Yifei enjoyed this, as long as it’s not overboard. It lightens up the household atmosphere, otherwise, if everyone is too tense, it can cause more harm upon eruption. It’s better to have thicker skin and joke around more often.

Chu Xiaoyao headed to the mall, and after five minutes, she still hadn’t come out. Li Yifei lowered the car window and looked outside but didn’t see any sign of her.

"I’ll get out and check!" Li Yifei said, opening the car door to step out.

Xu Shanshan quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "I’ll come too, I’ve been meaning to visit the restroom."

Li Yifei indicated to the four security guards in the other car not to follow. The head guard saluted toward Li Yifei, signaling his understanding.

The two entered the mall, looked at the signs, found that the computer equipment section was on the third floor, and directly took the elevator up. Just as they stepped off the elevator, they heard a commotion. Their expressions changed, recognizing Chu Xiaoyao’s voice, and hurriedly walked faster. Turning a corner, they saw Chu Xiaoyao, with her hands on her hips, confronting two or three men inside a computer equipment store.

Chu Xiaoyao was holding a box in her hand, and after two loud slaps, she shouted, "I told you, this thing isn’t worth that price. A two-thousand-yuan item, I’m already offering you two thousand five hundred, and you still want four thousand? Have you never seen money or what? Unbelievable that you can say that."

A man around thirty years old, with skin as dark as Chu Xiaoyao’s height, and huge dark circles under his eyes, tilted his head, put his hands on his waist, and looked at Chu Xiaoyao, saying, "Hey! Little sister, it’s wrong for you to say that. Go ask around the whole mall, who would sell you stuff at the purchase price? I’ve already given you a discount, and you’re still not satisfied?"

"Pah!" Chu Xiaoyao retorted without retreating, "The price I offered you already allowed you to profit, so who’s the unsatisfied one? Also, the price we agreed on over the phone, and now I’m here, you’re changing your mind?"

"I didn’t! I never said this price over the phone!" The boss shook his head vigorously, saying, "You can’t make things up."

"You said you’d give me the purchase price, but then you asked for my WeChat number, asked me how old I was, and even tried to touch me just now. Pah! And you still want to hit on me?" Chu Xiaoyao couldn’t help but reveal the reason for her anger. More and more people gathered around, and nearby shopkeepers came over to watch the commotion, but no one wanted to speak up for Chu Xiaoyao, let alone stand up for her.

The reason for Chu Xiaoyao’s anger wasn’t limited to this. They had agreed on a price over the phone, but when she arrived and looked at the items, the other party started behaving inappropriately, saying things that clearly tested Chu Xiaoyao.

Chu Xiaoyao wasn’t foolish and could tell the teasing and even harassing tone in his words, so she wasn’t afraid to pull a long face, regardless of the fact that Li Yifei, Xu Shanshan, and a few security guards were outside with her. Even if she was alone, she wouldn’t tolerate such skeezy men’s teasing, let alone with them around. She would not stomach it at all.

So she immediately put on a stern face and openly reprimanded the man. Chu Xiaoyao looked young to begin with, and today she wore an outfit that made her look even younger. The boss outright assumed she was a university student nearby, so he underestimated her. When he saw her get angry, he didn’t care and went even overboard, directly verbally harassing her, asking if she had a boyfriend and If she would consider him.

Poor boss thought he was a university student once but was just one who played around in college without understanding much. Judging from his appearance, he was the type who couldn’t find a girlfriend in his engineering school. After graduating, he worked a few years as a programmer, slept at dawn every day, half his hair went bald, and he finally borrowed some money from home to open a small computer shop. Surprisingly, he managed to earn ten to twenty thousand a month at times, even making thirty thousand on good jobs, which was considered high income in the provincial capital, making him quite proud of himself.

Listening to Chu Xiaoyao’s voice over the phone, that guy found it really pleasant. In the past few days, he would call Chu Xiaoyao at any excuse just to hear her voice, like hearing one sentence could make half his body tingle.

Today, upon seeing her in person, he felt like spring had arrived, keen to extract more from her, hoping that maybe...she was a naive girl, then he could use his silver tongue to arrange a meal and further develop, hoping to find such a girlfriend would be the ultimate happiness for a programmer.

Nice plan, but unfortunately, Chu Xiaoyao was not an ignorant young girl. Although she’s young and simple-minded, she spent years training with the Li family. She’s seen all kinds of people, now someone could give her a billion dollars, and she wouldn’t blink an eye, let alone this greasy, yellow-toothed disgusting guy in front of her. Had she known he’d be , she wouldn’t have come, even squabbled with Xu Shanshan for a while for no reason.

Chu Xiaoyao wouldn’t fall for it, mostly answering coldly and rejecting his advances. It irritated the guy across from her, and being a long-term single older programmer, not only did he not look the part, he couldn’t talk, act, or do anything smartly. He even felt good about himself, and wouldn’t change even if someone pointed it out.

So when Chu Xiaoyao coldly rejected him, he got all worked up, and his words got more aggressive.

A sharp-eyed employee in the shop recognized the small bag Chu Xiaoyao was carrying as an LV brand, tugged the boss and told him this. A young girl like that carrying an LV bag worth tens of thousands, if not more, meant she wasn’t ordinary, but he just spat out, "Damn, she must be some sugar baby." He didn’t speak loudly, but Chu Xiaoyao heard him, so she decided not to buy anything and began questioning him.

The boss knew he was in the wrong, stayed silent and sheepish for a long time, eventually trying to steer the conversation back to the goods, leading to the scene Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan witnessed.

Chu Xiaoyao stood with her chest out, full of confidence, while the guy across kept shifty eyes with a rogue composure, putting on the air of "I’m the king of the turf, what can a little girl like you do to me?" Ultimately, he simply said, "Buy it or not, doesn’t matter. You already paid the deposit, and if you don’t buy, there’s no refund."

Speaking of the deposit, it was after he kept trying to find topics just to hear Chu Xiaoyao’s voice over the phone one time, and she straightforwardly transferred five hundred but required the model and everything must match.

"The deposit must be returned to me; your pricing is wrong, and I have the right to refuse." Right now, Chu Xiaoyao didn’t care about a few hundred bucks, but that’s not how things should be done, so she would get her money back.

So Chu Xiaoyao fully displayed her attitude, "Dare to bully me, you’ll pay for it."

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan also walked over, standing behind Chu Xiaoyao, they said nothing, but the coldness on their faces was unmistakable to anyone, including the sleazy boss across from them. Official source ıs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
