Ning Meng’s eyes brightened.
It was the new handbag by Chanel in that year. She had long had her eyes on it but she had not bought it. She never thought that Zhen Shanmei would buy it for her.
“Thanks!”
Ning Meng held it in her hands with great care, but she soon saw a puzzled look on Zhen Shanmei’s face. Zhen Shanmei was staring at her and it seemed as though she was waiting for her to say something.
Ning Meng was puzzled.
She thought about it for a while. Then, she asked a probing question. “Don’t tell me you want to ask me to pay for this gift that you prepared for me?”
Zhen Shanmei was speechless.
She hesitated for a while before taking out another green purse with the same design. “I’ll give you one more gift.”
Surely, she would understand by now.
Ning Meng was even more surprised and she grabbed it without any hesitation. “Wow! You’re indeed a cute little darling! I love you!”
Zhen Shenmei saw that Ning Meng was still clueless, and so, she made another decision resolutely. She took out a small cardholder and handed it to her. “There’s one more here.”
Ning Meng took it with a vague facial expression. Finally, she seemed to understand something and she frowned slightly. “You mean that…”
Zhen Shanmei was slightly nervous when she saw Ning Meng like that. “Don’t cry, please. I don’t know how to console people. I’ll do anything for you as long as you’re not crying.”
Ning Meng soon put the cardholder and purse into the handbag. She hugged them in her arms and said, “There’s a small green bag from Hermès too. Although its color is a little bit too dark and it doesn’t suit a beautiful young lady like me, I definitely won’t cry if you buy it for me.”
Zhen Shanmei was speechless.
She felt like she was being framed. “Are you kidding me?”
Ning Meng acted pitiful and weak, her eyes darkening as she seemed quite sad. She remained quiet. Zhen Shanmei could not take it anymore and raised her hands up in surrender. “Fine, I’ll buy it for you!”
Ning Meng stood up straighter and led her out of the mansion. “You must fulfill your promise. We’ll go and buy it now!”
Zhen Shanmei followed behind her and got into the car. She asked carefully, “Are you really not upset?”
Ning Meng started up the car and said coldly, “You thought that I would be just like you, acting like the world has come to an end when you broke up? Women should really be more elegant and graceful!”
Zhen Shanmei admired her greatly. “You’re wonderful!”
Ning Meng had nothing to say to that.
They reached the shopping mall where Zhen Shanmei bought the Hermès bag for her and afterward, Ning Meng treated Zhen Shanmei to a high tea. She even bought a few clothes for Zhen Shanmei to repay her kindness.
At night, they went to enjoy a self-service seafood steamboat buffet which cost around RMB 1,005 per person.
Ning Meng chirped while she was walking. “This dinner is on you!”
Zhen Shanmei asked her, “Can you still eat some more?”
Ning Meng then replied, “I want to forget my anger and eat all the food I want!”
Zhen Shanmei was speechless.
They found their seats and sat down. Zhen Shanmei went to the washroom shortly after.
While waiting for the food, Ning Meng’s phone vibrated for a bit. She picked it up and realized that it was a message from Qi Shan.
Qi Shan: [?]
Ning Meng replied to his message.
Ning Meng: [?]
Qi Shan: [I received nine messages telling me that the credit card was being swiped.]
Ning Meng: [It means that your wife is normal. Don’t worry.]
Qi Shan: […Naive woman. Why don’t you spend more time capturing the boss’s heart when you have the time?]
Ning Meng’s eyes darkened as she read that.
Ning Meng: [Does he have a new lover now?]
Qi Shan: [How did you know about it?]
Qi Shan soon retrieved that message, but not before she had read that, and then he sent a new message to her.
Qi Shan: [That’s not true. How could it be? The boss adores you the most!]
Ning Meng bit her lips as she stared at the phone.
When Zhen Shanmei had reminded her about it just now, she had thought that it might be a beautiful misunderstanding, so, she had been in a good mood and had tried her best to make Zhen Shanmei buy things for her.
However, after what Qi Shan had said…
Her heart started to sink slowly.
