Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Is it that big?

Mu Shuoqian furrowed his brows, slowly pulling the car to the side of the road.

Gu Qili quickly unbuckled her seat belt, "Wait a moment, I’m going in to buy something and I’ll be right back. It won’t take long."

Knowing he was always short on patience, she quickly sought to please him, and upon receiving his unspoken consent, Gu Qili opened the car door and sprinted toward a store, almost tripping over a curbstone because she ran too fast.

Mu Shuoqian’s furrowed brows deepened.

A few minutes later, Gu Qili came back panting and knocked on his side of the car window.

Mu Shuoqian lowered the window, and her rosy, gleaming little face almost bumped into his nose, her warm breath carrying a sweet citrus scent.

Gu Qili was a bit embarrassed to speak, her dark eyes shifting to the navigation system ahead, not daring to meet his gaze.

"I didn’t bring enough money, can you lend me some?"

Initially, she had picked out a few affordable clothes, but they didn’t have her size, forcing her to choose slightly more expensive options. Yet, when it was time to pay, she found she hadn’t brought her wallet, and the salesperson’s gaze seemed to imply there was something unspeakable about her intentions.

"Didn’t I give you a card?"

"I didn’t bring it."

Gu Qili bit her shiny lip, looking pitifully at him: "I’ll definitely pay you back tomorrow."

Without a word, he pushed open the door and got out of the car. Gu Qili followed behind, somewhat shocked, "Where are you going?"

"Aren’t we buying clothes?" he said coldly, without turning back, and directly entered the lingerie store.

Gu Qili felt extremely awkward; she had only asked to borrow money. If he agreed, he could have just given her the money; there was no need for him to accompany her, especially to such a place. She felt embarrassed.

She was driven by a strong impulse to just turn around and leave without buying anything, yet that tall figure had already calmly pushed open the glass door in front of them.

"Welcome," the previous salesperson lazily lifted her eyelids, her body jolting with excitement upon seeing the person entering the door, her eyes lighting up as she eagerly approached, her voice becoming incredibly gentle, "Sir, what do you need?"

This was a women’s lingerie specialty store, offering a dazzling array of styles.

Mu Shuoqian looked straight ahead, appearing not to see her, while Gu Qili hurriedly followed him inside.

The salesperson, realizing he came to pay, walked to the counter and took out the two pieces of lingerie she had packed earlier.

Mu Shuoqian walked directly to the display area, glanced at a mannequin, and casually pointed, "Pack those two for me."

"Sir has a good eye, these are our store’s featured ’Angel’s Temptation’ for this season, and the sales have been good."

Actually, Gu Qili had already liked those two pieces when she entered the store. One was a light pink with no decorations, only lace on the edges, and the other was also light pink, with white patterned petals printed on it, and a small grey bow tied at the front, simple yet cute.

But she had glanced at the price and stepped back, as her current status couldn’t afford such costly lingerie.

"SIZE?" the man beside her asked indifferently.

The salesperson was about to speak, knowing from earlier when she had tried on the two pieces, but the stern look on Mu Shuoqian’s face, handsome yet cold enough to keep people at bay, made her wisely shut her mouth.

Gu Qili paused before realizing he was speaking to her. Seeing that wealth indeed commands respect, she hesitantly provided her size.

He slowly turned his head, his deep gaze sweeping over her, a smile not quite a smile on his face as he looked at her, "Is it that big?"
