Chapter 93: Going on a Date (1)
Translator: 549690339
Qin Zhiyou was slumped on the couch, holding a book—quite the literary choice, “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”. The pages were somewhat yellowed, clearly, it had been read more than once. Seeing her come down, his eyes fell on her, his expression indifferent. After taking a quick glance, he lost interest and shifted his gaze back to the book. His slender fingers flipped to the next page as he casually asked, “Where are you going?”
Lu Weixi replied offhandedly, “Going to buy shampoo.”
Her shampoo and conditioner were of a special brand, Davines. The brand is known for its high-end products, a large bottle of shampoo could sell for up to a thousand yuan, with only a few high-end stores in Yan City carrying it. Online shopping for such high-priced items often proves risky due to counterfeit products, and even flagship stores have trouble keeping them in stock.
Ever since leaving the Bai family, her spending habits have downgraded. The once tens of thousands of yuan worth outfits are now replaced by clothes costing just tens or hundreds of yuan during sale. However, the products she used on her hair and face were non-negotiable—lower quality ones made her scalp itch.
Qin Zhiyou grunted in acknowledgment and asked again, “Where are you buying it?”
As Lu Weixi was walking out, she answered, “Just the closest Wanlou Shopping Center…”
Before she could finish, Qin Zhiyou smacked his book onto the coffee table, standing up abruptly, “What? Did Hanhai run out of stocks? You have to go buy on their turf, huh? Traitorous.”
“…” She was just buying a bottle of shampoo and conditioner, the total cost not exceeding two thousand. How was that traitorous?
However, Qin Zhiyou stood up and said gravely, “You wait here, I also need to go to Hanhai. I take a detour and give you a lift.”
He goes his way, I go mine. Even if she was also going to Hanhai, there was no need to share the same route, was there?
Ignoring her, Qin Zhiyou stood up, took his long strides up the stairs. Lu Weixi’s expression was indifferent, she didn’t wait around; she headed straight for the garage, digging her car keys out of her bag, and opened the car door.
Just as she was about to get in, a large hand seized her wrist. She turned around to see Qin Zhiyou with a stern face and visible displeasure, “Didn’t I say that I would give you a ride?”
Lu Weixi shook her head, “No need. I can go by myself.” Moreover, when a woman goes shopping, even with a clear target, she is bound to wander around. If she took his car, she’d have to catch a cab back home, she would be the one at a disadvantage!
What’s more important is that she had never even considered what it would be like to go shopping with Qin Zhiyou.
Qin Zhiyou’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed, “What ‘no need’? Do you realize how expensive gas is now? Plus, there and back, we’ll have to pay the toll twice, and parking fees; that’s a few dozens.”
Lu Weixi was left speechless, Qin Zhiyou was truly…stingy to a fault. For the sake of saving a few dozens in gas, tolls and parking fees…did he even behave like the CEO of a large corporation?
She quickly replied, “I might do a little shopping, I will have to hail a cab back home either way. You have work to do, I won’t hold you up.”
“Who said I’m going to work?” Qin Zhiyou looked noticeably irritated, grabbing her hand and pulling her toward his car, “I also need to buy something.”
“What do you need to buy?” As soon as Lu Weixi finished speaking, she regretted it, hastily adding, “You could have the maid do the shopping for you.”
Who would have thought, Qin Zhiyou looked back at her nonchalantly, raising an eyebrow, “I need to buy condoms. I’ve been going out more than usual lately, ran out of my stash at home.. Are you sure these are the kinds of things you want the maid to buy for you?”
