Chapter 40: A Gift for Zheng Zeyi

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The thing was that Zheng Zeyi was two-faced. If Qiao Sisi gave him a gift, the two of them might end up arguing on the spot again.

This time, she really wanted to thank Zheng Zeyi. Naturally, she would not do such a thing.

“Eh…”

Qiao Sisi murmured and saw a necklace with a round pink gem at the end of it.

The chain of the necklace was made of fragmented diamonds. When she picked it up, she raised it a little higher and it shone faintly.

Somewhat girlish but it was very pretty.

She thought that Chen Anna would like this gift.

Qiao Sisi held the necklace and her lips curled up. She looked at the other shelves and chose this necklace for now. If she saw something better, she could just switch it.

Unfortunately, no other jewelry caught her eye.

Instead, Lin Ya excitedly chose a necklace and a bracelet. They were both relatively simple and stylish.

Just as Qiao Sisi was about to walk to the counter to ask for the price, she suddenly remembered that she still had not chosen a gift for Zheng Zeyi. She quietly retreated.

Regarding Zheng Zeyi…

Qiao Sisi walked two rounds but did not find any suitable gift. A staff member in the jewelry store saw her walking around and asked curiously, “Miss, may I know what you’re looking for?”

......

Qiao Sisi nodded and hesitated before saying, “I want to find a gift suitable for a guy, but… I haven’t found any yet.”

The staff member smiled knowingly. It was unclear what she was thinking.

A moment later, Qiao Sisi was ushered to a rack.

On this shelf were jade rings, silver rings, watches, and other items—a collection that was very eye-catching.

However, Qiao Sisi frowned. She was not happy with all this. She smiled at the staff and said, “Sorry to trouble you. I don’t really like these.”

Just then, Lin Ya was done with her shopping. The two of them walked to the counter to settle the bill.

“Hello, the total is 2,100 yuan,” the receptionist said to Lin Ya with a sweet smile.

She had chosen two or three pieces of jewelry. This price was not cheap for them.

However, Lin Ya took out her wallet and paid the money generously. She looked confident.?Women should treat themselves better,?she thought.

The necklace that Qiao Sisi bought for Chen Anna was even more expensive. It was 2,300 yuan. She took out a bank card from her wallet. “Swipe my card.”

“Alright, customer.”

After swiping their cards, the staff considerately packed their gifts in exquisite gift boxes and placed them in gift bags.

Even if Lin Ya had bought it for herself, she would have liked this sort of packaging.

After buying their things, Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya left the jewelry store. Fortunately, it was still early and they were in no hurry to leave.

On the way, Qiao Sisi looked at Lin Ya and asked, “Little Ya, what gift do you think… I should buy for a guy? I saw the items at that store just now. They don’t seem appropriate.”

Lin Ya blinked and instantly knew who Qiao Sisi was giving it to. She could not help but smile evilly.

“Sisi, you want to give it to Young Master Zheng, right? I’m sure I didn’t guess wrongly!”

“Well, yeah.”

Qiao Sisi’s lips twitched as she forced a smile. However, it was not appropriate to say that she was just thanking Zheng Zeyi for helping her.

At least they were still pretending to be engaged. Yang Yueyue would be happy if they were found out too early.

After Lin Ya had the answer, she got even more excited. She started thinking seriously about what gift to give.

After a while, she said uncertainly, “Sisi, what do you think of a tie as a gift for Young Master Zheng? There seems to be a store for men’s clothes on this street, but the price seems to be…”

Lin Ya did not finish her sentence, but Qiao Sisi understood that the prices at a men’s clothing store would not be cheap.

Well, well, even if I have to dig deep into my pocket, so be it. Zheng Zeyi has helped me a lot,?she thought.

Enduring her heartache, Qiao Sisi said, “Let’s go.”

The men’s clothing store that Lin Ya was talking about was in the middle of Jade Street. It was unique among the stores.

When Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya entered the store, they realized that there were quite a number of people inside. Most of them were probably here to pick gifts. They even saw Jinyu’s colleagues among them.

The sales assistant was also busy. When she saw the two of them enter, she only said politely, “Welcome.”

Qiao Sisi did not mind and started shopping with Lin Ya.

This men’s clothing store was filled with premium men’s clothes. Be it western clothes or casual clothes, they were all so expensive that no one wanted to look at them.

Qiao Sisi’s heart trembled as she looked at the tie cabinet in front of her.

“Sisi, come over and take a look. These are all quite nice. Which one do you want to buy for Young Master Zheng?” Lin Ya waved quickly and leaned against the counter to look.

Qiao Sisi glanced at the ties and finally chose a black one. It was simple, but it suited Zheng Zeyi.

At the thought of Zheng Zeyi wearing that fancy tie and smiling devilishly, Qiao Sisi could not help shuddering.

He is practically a devil,?she thought.

“I think this tie looks pretty good.” Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows and pointed at the black tie.

Lin Ya gave an OK sign and found a salesperson in the store. She pointed at the tie that Qiao Sisi had taken a fancy to and asked, “Thank you. How much is this tie?”

The prices of the ties at the counter were not listed, so they would have to ask the salesperson.

The salesperson glanced at the two of them and smiled politely. “Ladies, this tie costs 6,000 yuan.”

“Then…”

Lin Ya was about to speak when she was interrupted by the sales assistant. “I’m sorry, Miss. Bargaining is not allowed in the store. The prices are all marked.”

Lin Ya was stunned. She pursed her lips and Qiao Sisi frowned. She sensed that this salesperson looked down on them, but she did not have any evidence.

“Alright, we understand. Go back to your work,” said Qiao Sisi. As soon as she finished speaking, the salesperson left impatiently.

Lin Ya watched her leave and pursed her lips. “What… I was not asking for a discount. I just wanted to know if there’s anything else besides the tie at this counter. Seriously.”

Her good mood was dampered.

Qiao Sisi smiled and said nonchalantly, “Forget it, it’s fine. We’ll leave after buying. I don’t think we’ll get a second chance to meet in this lifetime. Just ignore her.”

“Well, then, I’ll pretend she doesn’t exist.”

Lin Ya nodded reluctantly. Although she did mind, she felt better after hearing what Qiao Sisi said.
