Chapter 32 The Irritating Chinese Valentine’s Day
The tour to Country A, which lasted more than two weeks, was finally over. Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo returned to City A, and she lived in Ling Tianyi’s apartment. Although Xia Xiaoluo has destroyed it, Luna had arranged a cleaning company to tidy the apartment up, and decorated it properly.
Xia Xiaoluo brought back a lot of things from Country A, which were bought by Ling Tianyi, including jewelry, beautiful clothes, branded bags, and high-end cosmetics…
Totaling up the price of these things, she found the amount could buy a three-bedroom apartment in City A. Xia Xiaoluo had a dream when she was young: leaving her family and having her own house. Therefore, the first thing she did after she came back to City A was to apply for an e-shop and sell all the precious things from Country A on the Internet.
During the day, Ling Tianyi went to work, and Xia Xiaoluo surfed the Internet at home, always paying attention to the sales performance of her goods. However, for three days, none of her goods were sold, which made her very upset.
Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, someone liked the light green dresses, and she consulted her online.
“Dear, this was bought from Country A, and it took me thirty thousand dollars. It’s absolutely authentic with a tag.”
“Dear, I can give you a discount now and sell it to you for 120,000 yuan.”
“It’s the star’s style, and difficult to buy at home.”
Although she introduced a lot, the customer just said, “120,000 yuan! Are you robbing me? This kind of clothes is everywhere on the Internet. I can pay you 120 at most, and I’ll buy it if it includes shipping.”
She never expected to encounter with such an odd customer after a long waiting. There was no way to communicate if the price was 120.
Xia Xiaoluo wanted to die at that moment, and she lied on the couch depressively. Then, she fell asleep.
When Ling Tianyi was back, she hadn’t closed the chat window, and what she had said to the customer were seen clearly by him.
“Xia Xiaoluo!” He roared.
“Look at what you’ve done!” He rotated the screen to her front.
“I… Err… Mmm…” Xia Xiaoluo was awakened, and she couldn’t say any word. She didn’t expect Ling Tianyi to come back so early today.
Now that she couldn’t give any explanation, she decided to keep silence.
Ling Tianyi sat on the couch in the study room, talked to her as if he was her parent, “You’re good at speaking, aren’t you? Why speechless now? Why dumb now?”
He was extremely angry, for she dared to sell the things he bought for her, and it was very hateful.
“Why do you do so?” He lighted a cigar. He always lighted one when he was annoyed. Today, the little girl had driven him mad.
“They are too expensive, and they’re not suitable for me. Instead of putting those wastes away, I’d better reuse them.” Her words did annoy Ling Tianyi, and he stood up and held the little girl in his arms, pinching her chin with one hand.
“Waste? I think you’re the biggest waste!” He was so angry that he wanted to beat her, for she dared to see the things he bought for her as wastes and sell them on the Internet.
“That’s not what I mean! Just used a wrong idiom.” She was afraid of him when he was furious.
Ling Tianyi snorted and said contemptuously, “You used a wrong idiom? What idiom did you use? As an idiot who just got 250 in the test, how many idioms do you know?”
“Isn’t it an idiom?” asked her shyly.
“Go out!” He was speechless, and he had to admit that she needed to study hard.
She left the room at once.
It was Chinese Valentine’s Day, and he reserved a seat in a western restaurant for his wife. He came back early to take her out for a dinner, but not expecting there was such a thing making him disappointed.
Now he was very angry and not in the mood for anything.
Realizing that she had made a mistake and annoyed him, Xia Xiaoluo decided to show her sincerity for fear the situation went worse. She bargained in the market near their apartment and bought a bag of vegetables with her only 12 yuan.
Xia Xiaoluo put the four dishes and one soup that cooked by herself on the table, and tiptoed into the study room. Ling Tianyi was sitting on the couch with his eyes closed. He was really angry today.
“Well… I finished cooking, and dinner is ready. Are you hungry?” She said timidly. Ling Tianyi squinted at her but did not answer her. He didn’t believe that clumsy girl knew how to cook.
