Han Xi felt that today was impossible to chat, it’s like everything is being denied.
"So what exactly are you interested in? Tell me, so I can keep an eye out for you. You really are at the age to get married."
Even if Shen Qiong hadn’t mentioned it, Han Xi was going to help Song Yan arrange to find a girlfriend.
"There’s no mandatory age for marriage, only a mandatory love for marriage. Silly girl, worrying will cause wrinkles."
Han Xi chuckled: "I’m willing to."
"Alright, I won’t say more. I have a surgery to prepare for in a bit. I’m heading out first."
As the words dropped, the office door was already closed.
These days, Chu Ci is at home every day, living leisurely and tending to flowers.
But this has made her agent Su Yan quite busy, with phone calls that never end, all urging Chu Ci to get back to work.
Today, Han Xi happened to have a day off, so the three agreed to go shopping and watch a movie together. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
Li Manman and Han Xi drove over to pick up Chu Ci, and as soon as she got in the car, Li Manman noticed Chu Ci was surprisingly wearing flat shoes today.
"What’s going on? You usually won’t leave the house without wearing high heels, why flats today?"
Li Manman steered the car onto the main road.
"Experiencing the sense of security that flat shoes bring me."
Chu Ci joked, not wanting to tell Manman about the possibility of her being pregnant, mainly because she’s afraid Manman would inadvertently leak it to Feng Yi, and if Fu Bin found out, it would be troublesome.
"Sense of security from flat shoes? I believe you, yeah right! Quick, confess, or I’ll have to force it out of you."
"What else could it be then?" Chu Ci feigned ignorance and asked back.
"If I knew, why would I ask you?"
Han Xi, sitting in the back seat, didn’t know how to help Chu Ci out, so he could only change the subject: "Manman, after shopping I want to eat hotpot."
"Yes, satisfying your little foodie cravings, no problem."
The car quickly parked in the mall’s underground parking lot, and the moment they got out of the car, they ran into Fu Bin, who had a beautiful woman by his side.
"Whoa, who is this beauty?"
Li Manman cheerfully approached Fu Bin, nudging him with her chin: "Hurry up and introduce us."
"My girlfriend, Qin Mi."
"Miss Qin is really beautiful, I’m Fu Bin’s friend." Li Manman, naturally sociable, greeted.
Qin Mi nodded with a sweet smile: "And who are these two?"
"We are all Fu Bin’s friends. Let’s all have dinner together sometime when there’s a chance." Han Xi smiled softly and nodded to Qin Mi.
"This must be Miss Chu Ci, I often see you on TV. You’re my goddess!"
Qin Mi walked over and looked at Chu Ci: "Can I take a picture with you?"
"Sure." Chu Ci cheerfully posed for the camera with a heart gesture, her lips curving into a gentle smile.
After putting her phone away, Qin Mi said she couldn’t miss the chance since they ran into each other, insisting on joining Chu Ci and the others for shopping.
Though the three of them were not really keen on it, they agreed anyway, not wanting to embarrass Fu Bin.
The women were ahead shopping non-stop, while Fu Bin was carrying bags behind them, almost becoming their little follower.
"Chu Ci, recently I’ve seen online rumors saying you’re dating Beichen, is it true?"
Qin Mi tried on a pair of high heels: "How do they look?"
Chu Ci smiled lightly and nodded, skipping her previous question: "The shoes suit you well."
