âWhatâs wrong? Do you know them?â
Ye Xiaofei grabbed Ning Xiaoyuâs hand.
Ning Xiaoyu nodded and then shook her head. She asked Ye Xiaofei to block her, and only after those two people passed by the shop did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Ye Xiaofeiâs face darkened, and he asked, âWhatâs wrong? Have they bullied you?â
Seeing Ye Xiaofeiâs angry expression, Ning Xiaoyu quickly waved his hand gently and said, âNo, sheâs my cousin.â
âCousin?â Ye Xiaofei said puzzledly, âIf sheâs your cousin, why do you seem so afraid of her?â
Ning Xiaoyu pouted and said, âYou donât know, she wants to introduce a boyfriend to me.â
âYouâve just started college, and she wants to introduce a boyfriend to you?â Ye Xiaofei frowned, feeling that this matter was not as simple as Ning Xiaoyu had described.
Ning Xiaoyu looked at him, squinting her eyes with a hint of joy, and said, âBrother Xiaofei, are you angry?â
Ye Xiaofei hummed and said, âOf course, I am. Youâre so young, and she wants to find you a boyfriend. I feel like she doesnât have good intentions at all.â
Ning Xiaoyuâs eyes lit up even more, and she said, âOur family has been going through some difficulties lately, and sheâs just trying to help. Alright, have you seen if this outfit looks good on me?â
Ye Xiaofei looked her up and down and said, âXiaoyu, youâre naturally suited for clothes. This outfit on you looks like it was specifically designed for you. Itâs beautiful.â
Ning Xiaoyuâs eyes curled like a crescent moon.
The two of them strolled around for a while, and Ye Xiaofei helped Ning Xiaoyu buy a few sets of clothes.
However, Ning Xiaoyu chose the relatively cheaper ones, and Ye Xiaofei didnât force her to buy the expensive ones. He just wanted Ning Xiaoyu to be happy.
They moved to the first floor, where there were more luxury stores. Ning Xiaoyu pointed to a store ahead and said, âBrother Xiaofei, letâs go and take a look there.â
Ye Xiaofei thought Ning Xiaoyu wanted to buy expensive things, so he immediately said, âSure, no problem. Buy whatever you want. I have plenty of money.â
Ning Xiaoyu shook her wrist, showing a bracelet, and said, âNo, this bracelet was given to me by someone from the Li family last time. I just want to see how much itâs worth. If itâs too expensive, I wonât wear it.â
It was a world-famous jewelry store called Bulgari.
âWelcome to Bulgari,â a beautiful saleswoman said, immediately greeting them with a smile.
Ning Xiaoyu held Ye Xiaofeiâs hand, feeling nervous and unable to speak. Ye Xiaofei held Ning Xiaoyuâs hand back and said, âLetâs just look around for now.â
Ye Xiaofei had seen grand scenes before, but it was his first time visiting a store like this, so he was quite curious, looking around.
The saleswoman could tell from their slightly outdated appearance and the fact that they were dragging suitcases and carrying branded shopping bags that these two people couldnât possibly afford to shop there. So, her enthusiasm wasnât very high.
âHuh? Xiaoyu!â
A womanâs voice sounded from behind.
Ning Xiaoyuâs body stiffened. She turned around, showing an awlward expression, and said,â Yuying!â
âWell, well, youâve come to shop at Bulgari. How about that? Now you have the means to buy things here?â
The speaker was a girl in her twenties, dressed very fashionably. Every item of clothing, the bag she carried, and the jewelry on her neck and wrists seemed to be quite valuable.
The girl was arm in arm with a man, who had a protruding belly and a shiny bald head with barely any hair left.
There was also a man in his forties beside them.
Ning Xiaoyu hurriedly said, âNo, no, Iâm just casually browsing. Letâs go now.â
Li Yuying immediately stopped Ning Xiaoyu and said, âDonât be in such a hurry to leave. Let me ask you, who is this guy?â
Ning Xiaoyu quickly replied, âThis is Ye Xiaofei, the one who used to live in our house.â
âOh, I see. Just a poor boy,â Li Yuying said contemptuously, then her face showed a smile and she said, âXiaoyu, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Zhang Zhengbing, and this is Qiao Hongjun. They are both big bosses, making millions easily in a year.â
âHello, bosses!â Ning Xiaoyu greeted him quickly.
Li Yuying chuckled and said, âQiao, this is the cousin I often talk to you about. Sheâs beautiful, elegant, and a high-achieving student from a prestigious university.â
Qiao Hongjtinâs gaze was fixed on Ning Xiaoyu, his eyes seemingly wanting to devour her.
Swallowing his saliva, Qiao Hongjun said, âSheâs truly stunning and adorable, exactly my type.â
Li Yuying giggled and remarked, âOf course! Could I introduce someone who falls short?â
âYouâre trustworthy indeed!â Qiao Hongjun laughed heartily, then turned to Ning Xiaoyu with a beaming smile and said, âXiaoyu, itâs fate that we meet here. There is no need for words. Let me give you a gift first.â
Ning Xiaoyu hurriedly shook her head and said, âNo, I donât want it!â
Li Yuying chuckled and said, âXiaoyu, donât be silly. Qiao has plenty of money. You donât need to be overly polite with him.â
Ning Xiaoyu bit her lip hard, then suddenly grabbed Ye Xiaofeiâs arm and said, âYuying, I already have a boyfriend..â
