My Exclusive Dream World Adventures-Chapter 132 - gifts

Chapter 132: 132 gifts

The next day, Chen Xu had originally not planned on going out, but after spending the entire morning at home, he could barely stand his mom’s nagging any longer. After lunch, he took Chen Ziqi and left the house.

Once downstairs, he still summoned a three-wheeled scooter.

Chen Ziqi asked, “What are we buying today?”

“Clothes.”

“Ugh, the clothes here are too ordinary, I might as well buy them when I get back.”

“It’s for me.”

Chen Ziqi looked him over and said, “Makes sense, now that you have a girlfriend, you can’t just keep rotating through those same old clothes. It’s about time you got some more, and you need to get a new haircut, too.”

While speaking, she grabbed his hair, “Look at this, long and messy, it’s been a long time since your last cut, hasn’t it?”

Chen Xu swatted her hand away and said, “Not that long, I got it cut two months ago.”

“Two months without a haircut?” Chen Ziqi looked shocked, “No way, from now on you need to go every half a month.”

Chen Xu frowned, “Is that necessary?”

“Of course, it’s necessary.”

Chen Xu glanced at her hair and suddenly said, “Don’t tell me you get your hair cut every half a month?”

“Obviously, I just got it cut the day before yesterday.” Chen Ziqi flipped her hair a little.

Chen Xu looked closely for a while but saw no difference from before, saying, “How come I feel like it looks the same as before you got it cut?”

“What kind of eyesight is that? Didn’t you notice my bangs were cut shorter?”

“…If you say so.”

Chen Ziqi confidently declared, “Don’t worry, leave it to me today. First, we’ll get a haircut, then buy clothes. Driver, change of plans — take us to XX Road XX Hair Salon.”

Seeing her confidence and considering that her usual fashion sense was pretty good, Chen Xu decided to trust her.

…

Two hours later, at an ordinary men’s clothing brand store.

Chen Xu, wearing a dark blue jacket, stood in front of a mirror sizing up his reflection. With his hair cut short, he indeed looked much fresher. The casual pants and jacket made him appear more mature, too.

“Handsome.” Chen Ziqi pulled him over and circled around him, ending with a thumbs-up, praising him.

Chen Xu laughed, “You’re really finding ways to compliment yourself, aren’t you?”

“You have to trust my taste.” Chen Ziqi said, bringing over a pair of black leather shoes, “Put these on, and it’ll be perfect.”

Chen Xu tried on the shoes and took a few steps, feeling pretty good. He said to the attendant nearby, “I’ll take the clothes and shoes. Please ring them up for me.”

While paying, Chen Xu felt a small pang in his wallet. Although these weren’t luxury brands, the outfit cost him over three thousand. He had never bought such expensive clothes before.

But the expense was necessary. He might not care much about his image, but he couldn’t let Yang Jinxia lose face because of him. It wasn’t about wearing expensive designer labels, but at least they shouldn’t be too cheap.

Stepping out, Chen Ziqi said regretfully, “If only we could’ve driven Old Chen’s Audi here; it would’ve been perfect.”

Chen Xu couldn’t be bothered with her, showing off someone else’s luxury car just for appearances was something he couldn’t do.

“Chen Xu, I’m thirsty, let’s get something to drink.”

“Wait a second, we still need to buy one more thing.”

“What?”

…

A few minutes later, Chen Xu led Chen Ziqi into a gold jewelry store.

“You’re not thinking of buying a diamond ring, are you?” blurted out Chen Ziqi.

“Why would I buy a diamond ring if it’s not for a proposal?” Chen Xu looked at her, bewildered by her sudden reactions and what was going on in her head.

Chen Ziqi let out a sigh of relief, “I was really worried that you were getting carried away.”

Chen Xu ignored her and approached the necklace display case, looking through the selection.

A salesperson asked, “Sir, is it for your girlfriend? What style does she like?”

“I’ll take a look around first,” replied Chen Xu, focusing on the choices.

Chen Ziqi sidled up to him and asked, “Are you buying a token of commitment?”

Chen Xu still ignored her, quickly spotting a design he liked, and said to the salesperson, “Could you take this one out for me to have a look?”

“Sir, you have a great taste. This is a new model with a minimalist sun pattern pendant,” the sales associate said while removing it, “The necklace is made of white gold.”

Chen Xu took the pendant and examined it closely. It was about the size of a thumbnail’s nail cover, a glowing sun on the edge shape, very simple in style, which would suit a woman as well.

He glanced at the price tag, which exceeded the budget in his mind, but still within an affordable range. After considering for a moment, he decided to buy it.

He asked a few more questions, learned about the length, weight, and other details, then said, “I’ll take this one, wrap it up for me.”

“Of course, sir.”

After paying, Chen Xu put the box in his pocket and turned around to see Chen Ziqi looking at him with expectant eyes, and he asked, “What’s up?”

She clutched his sleeve and said, “I want a gift too.”

“You’re just a kid; what do you need all this stuff for?”

“I don’t care, I want one.”

“Even if you want one, there’s none left, no money.”

Chen Ziqi pouted and said indignantly, “Chen Xu, you’re playing favorites.”

“Alright, didn’t you say you were thirsty? I’ll treat you to milk tea.”

“I don’t want it.”

“Then never mind.”

“I want juice.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

There was a drink shop right at the corner of the street, and they found a window seat to sit down, each ordering a drink.

Chen Xu occasionally sent Yang Jinxia a WeChat message, and whenever he looked up, he saw Chen Ziqi staring out the window. He asked, “What are you looking at?”

“Looking at beauties.”

“?”

Chen Ziqi sighed, “I’ve been watching for a while, but none of them are a match for Yang Jinxia.”

Then she remembered a question, “Speaking of which, how did you two meet?”

“Met on the street.”

“Details?”

“I went over to talk to her, and then we got acquainted.”

Chen Ziqi looked at him for a while then sighed again, “I’m so silly, I was even thinking of introducing you to a girlfriend. You’ve got such good luck with the ladies, it’s envy-inducing.”

“Fine, I won’t stick around here eating your ‘dog food’.” Saying so, she got up. “The clothes you changed out of, I’ll take them back for you.”

“Be careful, and send me a WeChat message when you get home.”

“Got it, you’re as nagging as my dad.” Chen Ziqi said as she picked up the bag and left.

……

Chen Xu sat for a while longer, and when it was about time, he checked out and left.

Yang Jinxia’s company was developing property near the newly opened expressway intersection that had opened just two years previously. In his childhood, that place was all farmland.

Now, after the ring road was built, that area had been included within the urban district.

These past years, real estate had been developing everywhere, and this place was no exception. The better locations had long been taken.

Of course, even though the development here was somewhat slow, there was no shortage of wealthy locals, much like Chen Xu’s parents who had gone to make their fortunes in big cities early on. Many from this generation had bought houses back in their hometown.

Chen Xu heard from his mom that in recent ten years, whenever new properties were launched, they were snapped up quickly, and you’d be out of luck if you were slow.

Yang Jinxia’s company’s property was known to his mother; although it was a bit out of the way, the apartments had good layouts, the residential complexes were beautifully constructed, and the prices were reasonable. His aunt had taken an interest and considered buying one for his cousin as a wedding home.

Chen Xu still rode on a motorcycle taxi; in such small places, finding a cab was not easy, and this was the most convenient form of transportation.

The motorcycle taxi took him directly to the sales office. After getting off, he sent Yang Jinxia a WeChat message to ask if she was off work yet.

Just a few seconds after the message was sent, he saw her running out from inside, dashing straight into his arms.

Her warm breath surrounded him.

“Did you miss me?” she lifted her head, her eyes seemingly sparkling.

“Mhm,” he replied emphatically.
