“Didn’t you greet the Li family? What did they say about the annulment?”
Xu Qingzhi stuffed her hands into the pockets of her windbreaker and shook her head lightly. “Grandma Li doesn’t agree. But Limo is the one who wants to get married. If he doesn’t want to get married, no matter how strong Grandma Li is, she can’t do anything to him.”
Shen Fanxing glanced at Xu Qingzhi through the mirror and pursed her lips without saying anything.
When they reached Shen Fanxing’s office, the two of them took off their coats. Shen Fanxing instructed her secretary to bring a few books to Xu Qingzhi.
The rest was simple. Xu Qingzhi sat on the sofa and read while Shen Fanxing handled her work.
The atmosphere in the office was good. Occasionally, a secretary would come in to report on work, but Xu Qingzhi wouldn’t look up.
When it was quiet, Shen Fanxing would glance at Xu Qingzhi, who was reading quietly.
The daughter of a wealthy family loved to look beautiful and knew how to dress up. She was like a goddess in school, flamboyant and confident.
The person who rejected her didn’t show any mercy.
However, she had fallen for Limo.
She had once asked her, “Among the boys pursuing you, there are many with good family backgrounds and good morals. Why did you choose Limo?”
She asked, “Do you feel repulsed by Su Heng touching you?”
At that time, she only blushed and shook her head without saying anything.
When the two of them were together, there was nothing they didn’t talk about. Even the two of them had discussed it before. Such questions were mostly forbidden.
In high school, there were couples who ate forbidden fruits. University was a common sight.
But she didn’t have much contact with Su Heng.
Xu Qingzhi said, “I can’t be with them because every time I think of them touching me, I feel disgusted. But I don’t reject Limo. Because I like him, I can accept everything about him.”
She added, “Fanxing, if I don’t be with Limo in this lifetime, I might really become a nun. I can’t accept others touching me. What should I do?”
“Perhaps you haven’t met someone you like more. Love grows with time. There might be a man you can slowly accept in the future.”
That was what she had said.
Perhaps Limo wasn’t the one in her life.
Someone knocked on the office door and Shen Fanxing snapped out of her trance. The door opened and a slender figure walked in.
She had been the focus of the public for many years, and her temperament was outstanding. It was as if she shone brightly wherever she went.
“We’re flying to Paris tomorrow. Do you need anything?”
With one hand in his pocket, Chu Yi looked at Shen Fanxing and walked towards the sofa.
When she shifted her gaze, she saw the woman sitting on the sofa.
She paused and looked up. When she saw him, she smiled at him.
Chu Yi nodded calmly and sat on the other side of the sofa.
“There’s nothing to bring.”
Shen Fanxing put down her work and said to him, “Oh right, take care of Ji Yi and the rest.”
“Yeah.”
Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Remember to wear our perfume and advertise for us.”
Chu Yi glanced at her. “Is this the legendary unscrupulous businessman?”
“You seem to have misunderstood the word profiteer.”
Chu Yi’s lips twitched.
“Are you free?” asked Shen Fanxing as she glanced at Chu Yi.
“Fashion Week tomorrow. Work ends today.”
Shen Fanxing took out a document and said, “I have a meeting later. Bring Qingzhi out for a walk.”
Chu Yi and Xu Qingzhi turned to look at Shen Fanxing.
Shen Fanxing looked up at Chu Yi and said, “Anywhere is fine. Send him back before work.”
Chu Yi stared at Shen Fanxing for a few seconds before standing up.
“Let’s go.”
Xu Qingzhi stood up and said, “Since we have nothing to do, why don’t we go to the mall to see the sales of perfume?”
Shen Fanxing nodded in agreement and said, “Not bad.”
A sly glint flashed across Xu Qingzhi’s eyes.
When they arrived at the nearby mall, there was no need to mention the sales volume of Star’s perfume. However, after the initial popularity, the sales volume naturally couldn’t be compared to before.
The moment Xu Qingzhi reached the counter, she asked directly, “How much goods have been sold here recently?”
The counter employee recognized her boss and quickly took out the list.
Xu Qingzhi took a look and said, “There are still a lot of stocks.”
The counter employee nodded. “It was fast at first, but the supply was in short supply. However, the saturated state is obvious now.”
Xu Qingzhi nodded and left without a word.
Chu Yi followed her leisurely with his long legs.
His glow attracted the attention of many people.
Chu Yi pursed his lips tightly under the mask. His face was cold and his aura turned cold.
Everyone took a quick glance before leaving hurriedly.
Xu Qingzhi strolled around in boredom and chose a pair of flats.
When it was time to settle the bill, Xu Qingzhi glanced at Chu Yi and said, “I didn’t take my wallet. Did you pay first?”
Chu Yi took out his wallet expressionlessly and handed over his card.
Then, she went straight to a leather shop.
She picked a wallet with a simple color and style and asked the shop assistant to wrap it up.
Chu Yi wanted to pay again, but he heard Xu Qingzhi asking the staff,
“Can I transfer the money through my phone?”
The clerk nodded. “Sure.”
Chu Yi frowned. What the hell?
Confused, Xu Qingzhi handed the wallet to him.
“Here, this is for you.”
Chu Yi glanced at the new wallet in front of him. “For me?”
“Yes, this is… a thank you gift.”
“No need, it’s just shopping. I’m bored anyway.”
Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said, “Take it. I’ll feel bad if I don’t.”
“…”
“I’ve bought everything.” Xu Qingzhi looked a little awkward. In such a deadlock, he was the only one who could accept the wallet.
In the end, Chu Yi reached out to take it.
Xu Qingzhi smiled in satisfaction and said, “I feel better now.”
“Why?”
Xu Qingzhi leaned closer to him and blinked, smiling like a sly fox.
“Because I want you to see the true colors of a profiteer.”
“…”
The two of them came to the Zhi Qin Cosmetics counter again.
Xu Qingzhi stood at the door and coughed twice before clapping her hands.
“Everyone, everyone, our Zhi Qin Cosmetics is prepared for a surprise this afternoon!”
Everyone stopped to watch.
“Anyone who buys the latest series of perfumes will receive the autograph of our spokesperson, Chu Yi!”
“Chu Yi?”
“Wow wow wow, Best Actor Chu’s autograph?”
“I want it! I want it!”
A few people jumped up excitedly and raised their hands.
Chu Yi’s face darkened!
How good could a woman who hung out with Shen Fanxing all year round be?
