C10 An Astonishing Ability to Shop!

After leaving the store, Jee Ange's arms were about to give out. She followed behind Qin's mother, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the extravagant shopping spree. As they walked, she suddenly bumped into a man's chest. Looking up, she saw it was Qin Xiao!

"Uh, ma'am, Mr. Qin, I think I'll head out now..." Jee Ange instinctively tried to make her escape, but Qin's mother held her back.

"Qin Xiao, you rascal! You said you were too busy with work to shop with your mom, so what are you doing here? Do you have a girlfriend?!"

Seeing the excitement on his mother's face, Qin Xiao sighed, "Mom, I was just having a meeting at the coffee shop nearby."

Realizing the truth, Qin's mother looked a bit disappointed.

Turning to Jee Ange, she said, "Ange, I'm a bit tired now. But you can't spend all this time with me for nothing. How about this? I'll have Qin Xiao take you to pick out something you like as a thank-you gift from me."

Jee Ange was taken aback. As a helper for the Qin family, accompanying Qin's mother was part of her duties. Besides, the Qin family had helped her a lot in the past. How could she accept a gift from Qin's mother? And spending time with Mr. Qin...

No way, absolutely not!

Before she could figure out how to politely refuse, Qin's mother spoke to Qin Xiao, "Take good care of Ange. I'm heading out." With that, she turned and left, leaving a confident stride behind.

As she walked away, Qin's mother felt quite pleased with herself, thinking, "Son, this is as much as I can do for you!"

After Qin's mother left, Jee Ange felt a bit lost. She thought Qin Xiao would tell her she could leave, but he remained silent.

Feeling awkward, she finally spoke up softly, "Um... Mr. Qin, I should probably..."

"What, trying to run away again?" Qin Xiao interrupted her, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Jee Ange felt a flutter in her heart. So, this is what he looks like when he smiles... Caught off guard, she stared blankly, and Qin Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, his lips curling upwards. Instinctively, he reached out and patted her head, surprising both of them into silence.

The air grew awkward as neither spoke. Qin Xiao cleared his throat and said, "Let's go."

Go? Where to? Jee Ange was puzzled but had no choice but to follow Qin Xiao, keeping a respectful distance as they walked aimlessly.

Soon, Qin Xiao led her into a clothing store and instructed the clerk, "Bring out all the clothes that would suit her." He gestured towards Jee Ange.

"Certainly, sir," the clerk replied with a polite smile.

Minutes later, dozens of stylish yet expensive outfits were laid out before Jee Ange, leaving her dumbfounded. What was going on?

"Pick one," Qin Xiao said from his seat on the sofa.

"Huh? That's not necessary..." Jee Ange hesitated, unsure if he was serious about buying.

"Oh? So you mean you like them all? Alright then, clerk, wrap them all up for me."

Jee Ange was truly shocked! The total must be at least tens of thousands of dollars. How could she accept such extravagant gifts?

She quickly stopped the clerk and turned to Qin Xiao, saying, "Mr. Qin, really... there's no need. I'm not interested in clothes!"

Seeing her flustered expression, Qin Xiao found her quite endearing and decided to tease her. "Then what are you interested in? Me?"

Jee Ange never expected him to say that. The clerks around them chuckled, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Let's move on to the next store," he said, leading her out. Qin Xiao tipped generously, so the clerks had no complaints about their browsing without buying.

After visiting several more stores, Jee Ange couldn't hold back any longer and said to Qin Xiao, "Mr. Qin, I really don't want anything."
