Chapter 211: Chapter 211

Yu Bao couldn’t help but snicker awkwardly. It wasn’t that he had a good eye for picking clothes. The truth was, after entering the mall, he had called Ms. Lin. Ms. Lin had bought clothes for Hua Xiaomo before, so she naturally knew her size. That was how he managed to purchase clothes that fit her.

"President Qi... consider this coat a temporary loan. I’ll bring it back to you tomorrow," Hua Xiaomo said. Alright, she had never thought in her life that she would wear such expensive clothes.

So, if it’s not suitable, it’s just not suitable. How could a girl from the slums be worthy of such luxury?

Wearing it was nothing more than a joke. Chapters fırst released on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

"What? You’re returning it to me? Are your eyes bad? Can’t you even tell if I’m a man or a woman?" Qi Longbing’s words suddenly took on a strange tone. This damned woman, always the same old problem, isn’t it?

"President Qi, I didn’t mean that," Hua Xiaomo looked at him.

"Then what do you mean? If you don’t like it, just throw it away! Don’t disgust me with this back-and-forth!" Qi Longbing suddenly snapped with annoyance.

She was good in every aspect, but sometimes she was just too stubborn! He hadn’t stuffed money into her hands. It was just one or two pieces of clothing, and she had to make such a fuss?

When a man and a woman are dating, what’s the point of drawing such clear lines?

Damn you, Xiao Mo! Are you really trying to torture me, Qi Longbing, to death?!

Thinking this, Qi Longbing’s handsome face darkened considerably, and he stopped paying attention to her. However, as he left, he threw out one last command, "Wait here for me, and don’t leave!" With that, he followed the doctor for his examination.

Yu Bao looked at Hua Xiaomo and couldn’t help but sigh. Just as he was about to say something, Hua Xiaomo shot a fierce glare at him. "Mr. Yu, who asked you to buy me such expensive clothes? Do you know this is worth several months of my salary?"

Yu Bao looked utterly aggrieved. He thought for a moment and then said, "Miss Hua, why do you take things so seriously? President Qi wanted to buy these clothes, so of course, he picked the best."

"The ’best’? HA..." Hua Xiaomo suddenly laughed, a hint of mockery in her eyes. "The ’best’ should also depend on the person, right? I have no relationship with your boss; I can’t accept such a generous gift! Fine, let’s just say I, Hua Xiaomo, bought them myself. Give me your boss’s account number, and I’ll transfer thirty thousand yuan to him directly."

Upon hearing this, Yu Bao was suddenly at a loss for words. It seems President Qi really needs to work harder! Hua Xiaomo truly treats him like an outsider.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Hua Xiaomo’s eyes glinted coldly. Thinking of the three cards in her bag—two with one million yuan each and one with five million—it was more than enough to buy these two pieces of clothing. But still, she was really annoyed!

Thirty thousand yuan! She could have done so much more with it than buy two pieces of clothing. What a waste!

"Miss Hua, isn’t President Qi your boss too? Why must you act this way? You know that doing this would upset him. Do you really... want to make him unhappy?" Yu Bao asked.

After pacing beside her for a few moments, Yu Bao added suspiciously, "Miss Hua, you returned to work for the Qi Family... but isn’t your heart with President Qi?"

Hua Xiaomo startled at his words. She looked at him, her thoughts growing heavy. Had she been too obvious? Obvious enough for even Yu Bao to become suspicious?

If so, how could she smoothly take Qi Longbing’s nude photos?

"I didn’t want to make him unhappy! It’s just... I’m not used to using other people’s money..." Hua Xiaomo said, her gaze flickered.

Yu Bao looked at her and sighed. "President Qi... is truly wholeheartedly devoted to you, Hua Xiaomo. You should really cherish him!"

Yes, in all the years he had followed Qi Longbing, he had never seen him sincerely care for anyone. But this time, with Hua Xiaomo, Qi Longbing was more serious and invested than ever before...

He sincerely hoped his boss could find happiness.

Yu Bao turned and left.

Hua Xiaomo stood in the hospital corridor, silent for a long time.

But her heart had already been given to someone else... and that someone wasn’t him.

Qi Longbing, I’m sorry. It would be right to let go sooner rather than later, instead of clinging to this relationship that’s destined for failure...

Hua Xiaomo sat on a bench, remaining silent for a very long time.

Her brows were tightly furrowed as a torrent of thoughts raced through her mind, pulling at her nerves until they throbbed with pain.

Soon after, Qi Longbing emerged from his check-up, a smile blossoming once more across his stunningly handsome face, like an intoxicatingly mesmerizing flower.

"Xiao Mo, the doctor said I’m fine!" Qi Longbing sat next to her, holding her hand firmly. "Are you happy for me?"

"Of course!" Hua Xiaomo smiled reflexively.

"Then shouldn’t we go somewhere nice to celebrate properly?" Qi Longbing said with a smile, gripping her hand as a honey-like sweetness filled his heart.

It seemed the earlier displeasure had completely vanished.

"All right. I’ll follow your lead," Hua Xiaomo smiled at him. Whether it was genuine or not, at that moment, she was happy for him.

His shoulder was fine; wasn’t that great?

Then she wouldn’t have to bear too much guilt. After all, he had taken that bullet for her. Then again, she had risked herself to save him, so perhaps they were even now.

"HA... If I, Qi Longbing, remember correctly, this is the first time you’ve said ’I’ll listen to you,’ isn’t it?" Qi Longbing laughed, a sharp gleam in his eyes. With a chuckle, he gently teased the delicate lobe of her ear. "Learning to be obedient now, are we? Very good, very docile!"

"President Qi, when will you learn to keep your hands to yourself?" Hua Xiaomo turned her head away awkwardly. She really hated his hand tickling her ear.

These wretched wandering hands!

The sensation made her skin crawl. She felt an urge to turn and bite his hand, just to see if he would dare to touch her so casually again!

"HA HA..." Qi Longbing laughed heartily, his hand naturally coming to rest on her waist. "I don’t know when I’ll be able to stop being ’handsy’ with you either."

Hua Xiaomo simply rolled her eyes in response.

Was that the excuse of a scoundrel? This man was truly shameless!

A president? Is this how a CEO is supposed to act?

Seriously, she couldn’t bring herself to compliment him.

"Yu Bao, no need to . I want to spend some alone time with Hua Xiaomo, without a third wheel," Qi Longbing said with a smile as he led Hua Xiaomo towards the exit of the hospital.

Yu Bao stood still, watching as the two of them got into a luxury car, which soon sped away, disappearing into the distance.

At the "360 Perfect Universe Western Restaurant," in a luxurious booth. The décor was extremely elegant, and the atmosphere uniquely novel.
