Chapter 950: Chapter 947: Are the Two Really a Perfect Match?

Though Tong Xiaohua came from a wealthy family, her father always raised her like a son, so she had no desire for luxury goods or the little accessories girls like.

The crystal specialty store was a place she and Yan Bo had stumbled upon during a casual stroll, where she thought the dazzling, colorful little accessories were quite pretty. She bought a pair of amethyst earrings for herself and a red crystal pendant necklace for her mother, spending less than two thousand yuan in total.

The price wasn’t expensive, and she assumed that was just what crystals cost, unaware that similar products could also be part of very expensive brand lines.

Tao Jia, who would easily spend tens of thousands on a piece of jewelry, was amazed to see price tags in the few hundreds and thousands, and even dozens, dropping her jaw and blinking before taking a closer look at the prices.

"Xiao Hua, is this necklace just over 800 yuan?"

Tong Xiaohua looked at her with surprise, "Yes, 859 yuan. Do you like it? I’ll give it to you as a meet-and-greet gift."

Since Tong Xiaohua herself didn’t have much of a desire to spend, she didn’t think giving an expensive gift was necessary when meeting someone for the first time. Besides, to Tao Jia, she was just an ordinary freshman, so giving a gift worth a few hundred yuan seemed perfectly normal.

Tao Jia didn’t particularly like the necklace, she was just purely doubting its price.

"Xiao Hua, no, I just feel like this price is a bit too cheap?"

Tao Jia was someone who couldn’t keep things to herself and ended up spilling the beans to Tong Xiaohua right in front of the boss lady.

"Miss, the reason why the prices of crystal accessories here are so affordable is because all these pieces are designed and manufactured from scratch by me and my students, so there’s really no extra cost added,"

the woman responding to Tao Jia’s doubts was the boutique owner.

She seemed to be a pretty charismatic woman in her thirties, dressed in a broad sweater with a long scarf draped over her shoulders and her long hair casually bunned up in an unwound chignon, looking spontaneous and distinctive, which matched the shop’s decor and accessories pretty well.

Tong Xiaohua looked up at her and quickly remembered that the boss lady had served her the last time she visited.

"If I remember correctly, Miss bought a pair of amethyst earrings and a necklace from here a few days ago, right? You also said that the necklace was for your mother. How is it, did she like it?"

Though the boss lady wasn’t the most stunning of women, she had a kind of approachable charm that made it hard for anyone to dislike her.

Tong Xiaohua smiled at her, "My mom really liked it and said I had good taste. All in all, it’s thanks to the boss lady’s unique designs."

While Tong Xiaohua and the boss lady caught up, Tao Jia took the opportunity to carefully inspect the accessories on the display rack.

"Boss lady, could I see this bracelet? Oh, this pendant is nice too, please bring it over for me to take a look."

Initially, Tao Jia wasn’t interested in these affordable items, but the designs were truly appealing, and it only took a few minutes for several pieces to catch her eye.

The boss lady fetched the bracelet and pendant Tao Jia liked and handed them over to her.

But she continued chatting with Tong Xiaohua, "The guy who came with you that day was your boyfriend, right? He’s really handsome! You two make a great pair, and you’d dazzle people on the street."

Tong Xiaohua blushed slightly and meekly responded, "You flatter me..."

She was usually quite straightforward, but she was only eighteen and experiencing her first love, so feeling shy about such compliments from others was natural.

It was Tao Jia, however, who seemed to have discovered something amazing upon seeing Tong Xiaohua’s reaction.

"Tsk, Xiao Hua, you girl, you’re blushing! So innocent!"

Teasing with her words, she stretched her wrist with the bracelet towards Tong Xiaohua, "Look, isn’t it pretty?"

The bracelet looked quite attractive on Tao Jia’s fair skin.

"It looks good!" Tong Xiaohua nodded.

She silently felt relieved that Tao Jia hadn’t continued to tease her about that question from earlier.

Tao Jia picked out four accessories in the small store, and Tong Xiaohua picked out two. When it was time to pay, Tong Xiaohua insisted on paying. The six accessories totaled just over three thousand yuan.

After walking out of the store, Tao Jia was still marveling, "Xiao Hua, you’re incredible, you actually knew such an affordable and beautiful boutique."

Tong Xiaohua and her got into the car, closed the door, and then said, "It wasn’t me who found it, it was Yan Bo who brought me here."

In fact, Yan Bo had discovered this store by chance while accompanying her on a casual stroll, not intentionally.

"Yan Bo? Would he pay attention to this kind of small shop?" Tao Jia looked at Tong Xiaohua with great surprise.

Tong Xiaohua nodded, "Yeah, it was he who brought me here."

In her heart, she was quite puzzled. Why was Tao Jia’s reaction so strange?

"Small shops? I’m not too sure, this is only the second time I’ve been into this kind of accessory shop."

Tong Xiaohua’s life, because the head of the Tong Family wanted to train her as the successor, had entered a cycle of monotonous and rigorous training since she was ten. She lacked a girlish heart and many of the traits typical of young girls.

But this didn’t mean she didn’t like these kinds of things, she just, never had the opportunity to encounter them.

And she, had no idea what the daily lives of other girls were like, she only knew that they all seemed far out of reach, hence she never explored them.

Since meeting Yan Bo, her world was no longer limited to just things from the Tong Family. Whatever Yan Bo showed her, she accepted.

Without resistance, nor astonishment.

Tao Jia looked at her as if she were a monster, "What, this is only your second time in an accessory shop?"

Tao Jia wore a face full of doubt because, from the way Tong Xiaohua had insisted on paying and pulled out a black card to swipe, her family background must also be quite wealthy.

Yet all the rich girls Tao Jia knew were at ease wandering through various luxury boutiques, spending money like water.

Information like the latest designs from a certain master or limited editions of a famous brand were common topics in their daily chats.

But Tong Xiaohua said this was only her second time entering an accessory shop.

Who exactly was Tong Xiaohua?

Or could it be, she came from a poor background and only became wealthy after getting to know Yan Bo? So, the black card, was it actually given to her by Yan Bo?

Tan Jia’s mind was nearly tangled into a knot, while Tong Xiaohua was completely oblivious, just nodding honestly, "Yes, the last time it was Yan Bo who came with me."

Tao Jia had already concocted a Cinderella and Prince Charming narrative in her head.

After a while, when she had somewhat come to terms with the reality, she tentatively asked Tong Xiaohua.

"Xiao Hua, do you and someone like Yan Bo have anything in common to talk about?"

Tong Xiaohua thought she was referring to Yan Bo’s type as in someone knowledgeable and profound, not realizing that Tao Jia meant in terms of family background.

She thought for a moment and answered truthfully.
