Chapter 339: 338, shopping Chapter 339: 338, shopping Song Yan Ning helped Ye Shuangshuang take her pulse and then withdrew her hand, “Shuangshuang’s body is already fine, don’t worry.”
Ye Shuangshuang smiled gratefully at Song Yan Ning and proudly looked at Ye Qi, “Brother, did you hear that? I’m fine now, so you’ll take me with you, right?”
Ye Qi was still somewhat concerned, having seen the small action Shuangshuang just made, and he looked at Song Yan Ning with an inquiring gaze.
Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded, “Don’t worry, she really is fine.”
“Brother, you don’t think that Xiao Ning and I are scheming together to deceive you, do you? How could we possibly do that?” Ye Shuangshuang laughed he-he, her expression even more triumphant.
Ye Qi gave Ye Shuangshuang a speechless glance, “We’ll all go together then.” His hand had a fracture, but after taking the Medicine Pills Song Yan Ning gave him, he could recover quickly. He presumed Shuangshuang’s condition must be much the same.
“Yay! I can finally go out,” Ye Shuangshuang cheered happily.
Ye Qi shook his head and chuckled, “Don’t get too excited just yet, I haven’t set a time.” He had only just put forth the suggestion.
“Eh?” Ye Shuangshuang immediately wilted like a frost-stricken eggplant, “So when are we going?”
Ye Qi spread his hands, “I don’t know, I need to make arrangements first.”
“I want to go out now, I’m so bored!” Ye Shuangshuang exclaimed helplessly, her gaze falling on Song Yan Ning and Song Yanli. Her eyes twirled agilely and with a he-he, she turned to them, “Xiao Ning, Xiao Li, let’s go buy some clothes. It’s just the time to change seasons, and there are lots of new styles out.”
“Sure,” Song Yanli nodded. She hadn’t bought clothes in a long time and thought it would be nice to go out together.
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning replied.
“I’ll go upstairs to get my bag; wait for me,” Ye Shuangshuang, like a joyous little sparrow, hopped and skipped her way upstairs.
“She’s so big but still acts like a little kid,” Ye Qi said, watching Ye Shuangshuang’s retreating figure, his tone full of helplessness and indulgence.
“I’ll come with you,” Qin Yushen looked at Song Yan Ning. With Lu Tingxuan in Beijing, he wasn’t at ease with Xiao Ning going out alone.
Song Yan Ning smiled, “It’s inconvenient for you to follow us girl’s shopping. Don’t worry, I won’t have any trouble. Besides, you can track my whereabouts from home, can’t you?” With Qin Yushen’s Divine Sense, covering the whole of Beijing wasn’t a problem. Plus, they each had a Unison Talisman; if she ran into trouble, he would surely be able to feel it.
“Lu Tingxuan is in Beijing,” Qin Yushen still felt uneasy.
Song Yan Ning stretched out her hand, cradling Qin Yushen’s face, and gave him a radiant smile, “I’ll be careful. Besides, there are so many people around, he wouldn’t dare do anything to me, and I’m not that easy to bully.”
“Yushen, let’s not follow them. Let’s stay home and chat, play some chess,” Ye Qi added from the side. He hadn’t played chess with Yushen in a long time and wondered how his skills compared now.
Qin Yushen tapped Song Yan Ning’s nose and admonished, still worried, “You must be careful.”
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded. Seeing that Ye Shuangshuang had already come down, she withdrew her hand, “Then we’re going.”
Qin Yushen nodded, looking into Song Yan Ning’s eyes with a lingering trace of concern.
“Xiao Ning, Xiao Li, let’s go,” Ye Shuangshuang said as she bounced over to Song Yan Ning and Song Yanli.
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning and Song Yanli nodded, waved at Qin Yushen and Ye Qi, and headed for the door.
Qin Yushen watched Song Yan Ning’s departing figure.
Ye Qi patted Qin Yushen’s shoulder, “Xiao Ning isn’t a child anymore, you don’t need to be so worried. Although I don’t know who that Lu Tingxuan is, I believe that no matter how outstanding he is, Xiao Ning will only have you in her heart.”
Qin Yushen shifted his gaze away, “Didn’t you want to play chess?” He would protect Xiao Ning in his own way. If Lu Tingxuan dared to bother Xiao Ning, he definitely would not let Lu Tingxuan off.
“Let’s go,” Ye Qi smiled and nodded, then noticing the small bag in Qin Yushen’s hand, “What’s in this bag?” He wasn’t demanding, but he was curious about the contents of the bag.
Qin Yushen tossed the bag into Ye Qi’s arms, “Open it yourself.”
Ye Qi opened the bag and saw three Luminous Pearls the size of fists, “Are these Luminous Pearls?” He had never seen such pure, large Luminous Pearls.
Qin Yushen nodded, “One for each of you three.”
Ye Qi pulled the bag closed and handed it back to Qin Yushen, “I can’t accept something so expensive.” The value of one Luminous Pearl could certainly match his entire company’s worth, and maybe even more.
Qin Yushen’s lips curved slightly, “Keep it. It’s a gift for you. If not for us, you would not have attracted the attention of the Tianji Sect.” The Tianji Sect’s Young Master coming to propose marriage was entirely Lu Tingxuan’s doing behind the scenes.
“If not for you, Xiao Li and I would have lost our lives long ago,” Ye Qi stuffed the bag back into Qin Yushen’s arms and patted his shoulder, “Let’s go play chess.”
Qin Yushen glanced at the bag in his hand and shook his head with a smile.
Song Yan Ning and the others arrived at the biggest Zhongtian Department Store in Beijing, which offered shoes, hats, clothes, Cosmetics, and both domestic and foreign luxury brands. It was a popular shopping destination for the high society and wealthy ladies of Beijing.
“Let’s start on the second floor,” Ye Shuangshuang pointed to the second floor and headed toward the elevator.
Song Yan Ning and Song Yanli stepped up to follow.
The second floor was mostly clothing boutiques, and perhaps because it wasn’t the weekend, the shopping crowd wasn’t large.
As the trio shopped, Ye Shuangshuang noticed a particularly crowded boutique ahead and expressed her surprise, “Look at that boutique over there. There are so many people. I remember Zhongtian doesn’t do discounts—could something have happened?”
“Let’s go have a look,” Song Yanli suggested, also curious. She often shopped at Zhongtian Department Store and was somewhat familiar with it.
Song Yan Ning nodded and the three of them made their way to the boutique.
Before they got to the boutique, they heard a woman’s angry voice coming from inside, “You’re just a salesperson, right? Why are you giving me attitude? You think I can’t afford it?”
“I didn’t mean that at all, please don’t misunderstand,” the salesperson responded.
“If you didn’t mean that, then why won’t you let me try on that dress?”
“Ma’am, it’s not that I won’t let you try it. It’s just that we really don’t have your size for that dress.”
“Do you think I believe that? That’s just your excuse.”
“I’m really not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the inventory.”
“Don’t cry and whine, as if I’m bullying you. Just answer me, are you going to let me try on that dress today or not?”
“We really don’t have your size anymore. How about I see if I can check with other stores to see if they have any stock?”
