Chapter 127: Buying Furniture
The two of them finally reached the furniture floor.
Cheng Ling did not ask about the incident just now, although she felt strange in her heart.
Lu Qi bought a dress. It shouldn’t be for himself, so it was for a girl.
Moreover, Cheng Xiao also took a fancy to that dress. It meant it was for a young girl. But who would he give it to?
As Cheng Ling was thinking about it and was distracted while walking, she almost hit a pillar.
Fortunately, Lu Qi quickly pulled Cheng Ling to the side.
“What are you thinking? Watch your way while walking.”
Lu Qi’s tone was natural, so natural that Cheng Ling felt that they had been good friends for many years.
Lu Qi didn’t hold Cheng Ling’s hand but her wrist.
The man’s hand was dry and warm. Cheng Ling could feel her pulse throbbing.
She quickly pulled back her hand.
“Nothing. I’m just thinking about what wine to buy as a birthday present.”
Although Cheng Ling did not say who it was for, Lu Qi knew after thinking about it.
“For Old Master Cheng?”
Lu Qi didn’t say “your grandfather”, but “Old Master Cheng”. This surprised Cheng Ling because of Lu Qi’s thoughtfulness and keen observation.
She nodded. “Yes. Grandma insisted on buying something decent.”
“Do you want me to help you pick?”
This was the best. Cheng Ling had never touched alcohol except occasionally bought wine for her master.
Moreover, her master wasn’t someone who pursued branded wine. He always drank whatever wine was fragrant and smooth.
Old Master Cheng didn’t drink wine. He was probably just showing off his wine.
If it wasn’t a branded wine, he might not be satisfied.
Cheng Ling nodded. “Then let’s look for the furniture first, then we’ll go buy wine.”
Hearing that Lu Qi could help her, Cheng Ling felt relieved as if she had solved a big problem.
Looking at the girl’s lively figure, Lu Qi smiled.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
Lu Qi looked at the text message Lu Xiu had sent him. “We have some clue now about the person who poisoned you back then.”
Lu Qi replied in a few words and put his phone back into his pocket.
Cheng Ling stopped in front of him and turned around to wave at him. Her smile was las beautiful as a flower.
This business center was the largest in the west of the city. Thus the stores here were all relatively famous.
Lu Qi’s preferred furniture style was furniture in natural wood color with a warm tone.
The two walked past a few stores and finally found one more in line with Lu Qi’s preferred style.
“How about this one? It looks simple and clean.”
Cheng Ling pointed at a set of tables and chairs. It has the natural color of wood with faint wood grains on it. Although the set was simple, looking at the fabric and workmanship, it seemed of high quality.
Lu Qi walked over and took a look. He was very satisfied with the set.
“I’ll take this set.”
Cheng Ling got up from the chair. “You’ve decided? Don’t you want to look at a few more sets?”
“Don’t you think it’s good?”
Was my opinion so important? Cheng Ling thought to herself.
“Then don’t blame me if you don’t like it after you buy it.”
After saying that, Cheng Ling went to look at the other furniture. The two of them walked around for almost two hours and finally finished buying the furniture for basic needs. Most of the choices were decided by Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling felt as if she was decorating her home.
The furniture they bought would be shipped to Lu Qi’s villa by the Transportation Department of this shopping mall in the afternoon.
Now, the two of them had completed their first task.
“Let’s go and buy wine now.”
Lu Qi then brought her to a winery owned by his friend.
“This is my good friend, Jiang Xing. He’s also the owner of this winery.”
Jiang Xing looked like he was about four or five years older than Lu Qi. He was an elegant man with a decent appearance.
“This is Cheng Ling, my… friend.”
Lu Qi thought for a long time before coming up with such an identity. Jiang Xing knew that Lu Qi was poisoned previously, but Lu Qi was not sure if Cheng Ling wanted others to know about her identity. Thus, he chose not to mention it.
“Hello, Cheng Ling. I’m Lu Qi’s good friend for many years. My name is Jiang Xing.”
Jiang Xing reached out his hand.
Cheng Ling smiled. “Hello, my name is Cheng Ling.”
Jiang Xing was not a reserved person. After the two of them finished their self-introduction, he put his hand on Lu Qi’s shoulder heading towards his office.
“Come, let’s talk in my office.”
Although it was called an office, it did not look like an office at all. The long table was full of all kinds of wine and glasses. The office table was not in the traditional rectangular shape but an irregular shape instead.
There were no books in the cabinets, but all kinds of wine.
Although Cheng Ling did not know much about red wine, she could tell that the wine must be very expensive.
Jiang Xing beckoned Cheng Ling to sit down.
