Chapter 240: Picking Up from the Airport (6)
The shuttle bus arrived at the station quickly, and as soon as it did, Xia Siyu hurried off the bus, with Bo Yan following her.
As is well-known, there are duty-free shops at the international exit. As they strolled along, Xia Siyu suddenly disappeared, and after wandering around for a while, Bo Yan realized that she had gone shopping.
In Germany, besides cars, there aren’t any particularly famous luxury or cosmetic brands, and tax refund is a hassle. She used to go there for work and couldn’t leave the crew to shop on her own. Even at the airport, there wasn’t much time left, so she had to make do with airport shopping.
Actually, she didn’t really care about the price when buying things for herself. Even if there was an expensive lady’s cream available at an airport counter, she wouldn’t necessarily use it in her everyday life.
But in the past, it had always been her and a team of people following her; this time, she was on her own. It wasn’t easy to shop in Germany, so before she left, she at least had to buy something for Qin Baizhou, Wei Jingjing, Little Tang, and a few makeup artists to take back. It was a matter of courtesy.
When Bo Yan sauntered over, he only saw her heading straight for the cosmetics area, grabbing three sets of La Mer’s caviar series, and tossing them into the cart. He knew the price of this stuff, but only because a female assistant under him had bought this set before and mentioned the price, around ten thousand for each set. Of course, it was much cheaper at the airport, about thirty percent off.
But for the average worker, such a price was not something they could afford under normal circumstances.
Yet buying three sets at once, was that necessary? Was she going into the reselling business?
Bo Yan looked at her with suspicion as she finished browsing the cosmetics and even moved towards the men’s accessories section. It seemed that she was choosing tie clips and ties.
It was a blind spot for Xia Siyu to shop for men’s items at the airport. There were cosmetics available, but without knowing the exact skin type, she wouldn’t dare to buy them. As for clothes and trousers, she didn’t know the size of the recipient, which made it even more difficult to purchase.
After looking around, it appeared that ties and tie clips were the most appropriate choices.
Bo Yan saw her wandering into the men’s section and noticed her selecting ties, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat: could it be that she was buying one for me?
After all, she wasn’t close to her father. Her relationship with her brothers and sisters was even colder. She didn’t have a boyfriend, nor did she have any close male colleagues.
Although the image of Qin Baizhou flashed across Bo Yan’s mind, he felt that a woman giving a man a tie or tie clip had a distinctly intimate meaning. It was hard to say what Qin Baizhou thought of Xia Siyu, but Siyu’s feelings towards him were purely platonic, comrades-in-arms, with not a hint of romantic sentiment.
She wouldn’t be able to bring herself to buy a tie for a man, would she?
In fact, Xia Siyu not only could but even asked for his opinion, “Which one of these two patterns do you think looks nicer?”
Xia Siyu asked, pointing at two of the ties. Bo Yan came over very seriously to discuss with her, “If it were me, I’d prefer something solid-colored. This checkered one looks nice, but it’s too flashy, not as versatile as a solid color.”
Xia Siyu nodded, a testament to her aesthetics education at the university. Solid colors did look better; she agreed, “One grey and one black. Wrap them up for me.”
Bo Yan found it strange, “Why are you buying two? Just one would be enough.”
Of course, if Xia Siyu was giving it to him, he would definitely accept!
The sales assistant nodded, and Xia Siyu added, “Wrap them separately.”
Hearing this, Bo Yan felt that something wasn’t quite right…
