Chapter 291: Chapter 238: First Heartbeat Encounters a Master_3 Chapter 291: Chapter 238: First Heartbeat Encounters a Master_3 He had had a fling with a sales lady in his past life, but it wasn’t because they met while shopping, nor was it because he showered her with business that he had ended up in bed with her.
At this moment, holding shopping bags and a coffee, he hurried towards the elevator.
“My Mr. Chen is still waiting in the car, so it’s not good to keep her waiting too long.”
Inside the car, Chen Jieyu had already made up her mind to buy and take the medicine herself later.
After thinking it over, she decided not to tell Cheng Zhu about it.
She felt she couldn’t bring herself to say it, nor did she find it necessary, worrying it might just burden him.
As for getting a tubal ligation, she planned to think more about it, then look it up online to check the subsequent impacts, and consult a doctor then.
Regarding not marrying and being childfree, her mind remained unshaken.
People at Chen Jieyu’s age are often set in their ways with mature mindsets, and are not easily changed.
Moreover, isn’t there a saying?
Some people heal their lifetime with their childhood, while others spend their lifetime healing their childhood.
Clearly, she belonged to the latter.
Sitting in the passenger seat of the Mercedes G, she could see people with shopping bags walking around in the parking lot.
It’s a mall, of course, there are plenty of shoppers.
Hang City is a big city, not lacking real wealthy people.
At places like Star City, a high-end mall, some people could spend an astronomical amount in a year, leaving you stunned by the loyalty points.
And at Hang City’s famous shopping district Wanxiang City, there is even a VIP parking area where you must accumulate a certain number of points within 12 months to park there.
Chen Jieyu wasn’t envious of these shoppers.
However, their presence did reflect her own financial struggles.
The weather was getting colder, and she had planned to buy a nice down jacket and a good coat for this winter.
Her attire leaned towards workplace fashion, so for her, coats were the best choice for winter and her favorite outfit.
But due to family reasons, she had dismissed those thoughts.
With that in mind, she couldn’t help but look at the shoes she was wearing.
They were flat shoes.
Most of the shoes in her wardrobe were these kind of workplace flats or low heels, along with high heels.
These matched with her clothes and pants as a set.
Casual shoes she usually kept only one pair, as she didn’t have many casual clothes.
But the tread at the back of her previous pair of sneakers had worn thin and were out of style.
She had wanted to buy a new pair this year but ended up letting it go.
The reason she was now looking at her shoes was because Cheng Zhu had mentioned them when they were at the guesthouse, questioning why she would wear such shoes outside, noting that they were unsuited for walking in the mountains and over gravel paths.
She had told him she hadn’t brought any other shoes.
In fact, she simply didn’t own any suitable and somewhat decent shoes anymore.
And Cheng Zhu had even commented that her feet looked big!
She had responded displeasedly, “My shoe size is only 36.5. How is that big?”
His explanation was that it might have been the design of the shoes, as the pointed and overly long shoe tip made them look big.
Now, she even wondered, “Does he actually find these shoes unattractive?”
She decided that if they were to meet again, she wouldn’t wear them.
The counselor originally liked these shoes; otherwise, she wouldn’t have worn them out and about.
But now, for some reason, she too began feeling that perhaps the shape of the shoes wasn’t that great.
“The shoe tip is a bit too pointed, maybe?” she thought to herself.
“Next time I meet him, I’ll stop wearing these pointy shoes,” Chen Jieyu decided.
Just then, Cheng Zhu returned to the car.
He first opened the rear door of the car, placing the shopping bags in the back seat.
“Here, I bought two cups of coffee. The hot one’s for you.” He only brought the coffee to the front seat.
Chen Jieyu took the coffee and took a small sip.
The warm oat milk latte was comforting.
“Should I take you back to school now?” Cheng Zhu asked after buckling his seat belt.
“Okay,” Chen Jieyu nodded.
The two were about to part, making her occasionally glancing out the window throughout the journey.
Along the way, Cheng Zhu was, as before, no different.
Upon arriving, Cheng Zhu got out of the car with Chen Jieyu and helped her with her suitcase.
After taking down the suitcase, he asked, “Do you want me to carry it up for you?”
Chen Jieyu repeatedly refused.
If he carried it upstairs, would that mean she had to invite him in to sit?
Her home wasn’t ready to welcome this man yet!
Moreover, this counselor was quite intimidating; who knows if this bad student would turn it into an invitation to come inside?
This was a faculty residential building after all!
Just the thought was terrifying!
Seeing her insist on carrying the suitcase herself, Cheng Zhu didn’t press further.
After all, the suitcase wasn’t particularly heavy, and Chen Jieyu wasn’t one of those delicate young girls.
Just as she was about to leave, he suddenly exclaimed, “Wait a minute! You really are something, you forget things!”
Cheng Zhu even chided her.
When Chen Jieyu felt puzzled, he opened the rear door of the car, handing her the items he bought at Star City.
The beautiful counselor, behind her gold-rimmed glasses, was momentarily startled, then swiftly realized Cheng Zhu had bought things for her.
“What? Didn’t you guess it was for you when you saw the shopping bag?” Cheng Zhu looked at her, placing the shopping bag on the suitcase, saying, “It’s definitely for you.”
