Chapter 32
Childhood Friends With Benefits
Before becoming a discarded husband, a phone call instantly pumped Qiao Ning up, making him realise the truth that âonly mom is good in the world.â
The reason was that Chi Xiaoman finally gathered some strength and started organising all the inconspicuous bags and packages Qiao Yuezhen gave her.
After organising them, she could no longer sit still.
Only a small portion of the vacuum-sealed specialty products took up space, while the rest were clothes, shoes, even jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, as well as skincare and makeup products, and expensive face masks. The packaging boxes of these items were quite large, taking up a significant volume.
Chi Xiaoman couldnât understand. It could be understood that Qiao Yuezhen bought skincare and makeup products for herself, and incidentally bought her a set too.@@novelbin@@
But what about these jewelry, clothes, and shoes?
Auntie, how much money did you earn from the script that youâre so spending so extravagantly?
Even Chi Xiaomanâs roommate was shocked, âWow, they are branded items. They must have cost a lot. Where did you find such an amazing auntie?â
Liu Shuyu even squeezed over, scanning the images on her phone to check the prices. âTsk tsk, looks like sheâs treating you like her own daughter!â
Chi Xiaoman felt the pressure. This was truly an unbearable love. She expressed in a polite manner through WeChat that these items were too valuable for her to accept. Qiao Yuezhen immediately sent several 60-second voice messages, all insisting that Chi Xiaoman must accept them. She had just bought too much out of happiness, and asked Chi Xiaoman not to mind too much.
How could Chi Xiaoman not mind? Her dormmates nearby were so shocked that they had started calculating with a calculator!
âDo you have time tomorrow? Come over,â Chi Xiaoman called Qiao Ning on her phone, âI canât bear your momâs extravagance anymore. Hurry up and come over to return these things!â
Qiao Ning excitedly stood up from her chair and walked back and forth in the hallway, âAlright, alright. I have time tomorrow night. Iâll drive over to pick you up. Letâs have dinner together. How about watching a new movie together?â¦â
âGot it,â Chi Xiaoman hung up the phone perfunctorily and sat on the chair feeling upset.
Liu Shuyu approached, âWhy are you unhappy? Do you hate us being nosy?â
âNo,â Chi Xiaoman frowned, holding her fingernails, âIâm a little annoyed with Qiao Ning.â
He was too enthusiastic, too excited, as if it was sinful for her to neglect him!
Liu Shuyu: ââ¦â
She hated these kinds of people. The puppy-like young man gave her a sultry look, but Chi Xiaoman saidshe was annoyed!
âIf you donât like it, give them to me,â Liu Shuyu slapped Chi Xiaomanâs back and said, âIâm hungry! Everyone in the dorm is hungry except for you!â
Qiao Ning resurrected with full strength. Before the appointment, he spent half a day grooming himself and still wasnât satisfied. Finally, he went to a hair salon and had Tony, the hairstylist, style his hair.
On the other hand, Chi Xiaoman was filled with endless regret. Before going downstairs, she cautiously changed out of her low-cut sweater and put on a turtleneck sweater with a jacket, making sure that no unnecessary skin was exposed.
After going downstairs, Chi Xiaoman couldnât help but cover her eyes when she saw Qiao Ning. Why did this pretty boy dress so flamboyantly? Was he still not satisfied with attracting the opposite sex?
And downstairs, the roommates who were gathered to admire the handsome guy all had weak legs because of his handsomeness. They felt that Chi Xiaoman was really clueless!
Qiao Ning ran a few steps to Chi Xiaomanâs front without saying a word. He helped her move the organised things into the trunk before grabbing her hand and shaking her arm to vent his grievances. A resentful husband took over him: âWhy donât you reply to my WeChat messages? Have you not seen them?â
Chi Xiaoman didnât know how to respond. She felt like the passersby were all looking at her. In a hurry, she pulled Qiao Ning into the car and explained, âIâve been busy catching up on classes, so I havenât had time to look.â
