C272 We Are Good Friends Not Lovers
After the salesgirl finished her praise, the more important part came, "Sir, this is the ring your girlfriend just saw. Take a look at it for her reference, and she's still hesitating."
Luo Xue looked at the salesgirl and was convinced by her ability to do business!
Being misunderstood was always an awkward thing. Luo Xue's uneasiness was fully expressed on her face.
Seeing Luo Xue's embarrassment, Ann Chen politely smiled and looked at the salesperson. "We are good friends, not lovers."
Luo Xue looked up at him. When he said this, he did not show any signs of discomfort.
He did not pretend, and his face was full of sincerity.
Luo Xue secretly took a deep breath in her heart and felt much more relaxed.
It was better for him to explain so easily than to panic and explain himself.
The salesperson looked at Ann Chen in surprise. She clearly saw love in Ann Chen's eyes.
Women's feelings were often more effective than men's. It was said that bystanders could see clearly. Sometimes, a woman could tell a man's inner monologue with just one look.
It should be a secret crush. The salesperson thought about it and felt a little heartache for Ann Chen.
"I'm sorry..."
The clerk was about to say something else when Ann Chen picked up the pair of rings and looked at them. "You want to give them to someone?"
"Hmm?" Luo Xue looked up.
She was surprised that Ann Chen did not think that she had bought the ring for her.
Ann Chen smiled elegantly. "I've never heard that you have a boyfriend."
When Luo Xue heard this, embarrassment flashed across the corners of her eyes.
Her relationship with Mu Shucheng, was it very similar to an underground relationship... It could not be exposed!
Back then, when he requested for a hidden marriage, both of them agreed to it because they did not want to be in the headlines. After all, the engagement was only two years. Then why did he want to hide the marriage?
Seeing Luo Xue's expression suddenly become uncomfortable, Ann Chen immediately changed the topic. "If you want to give someone a gift, it is better to give someone something meaningful. Why don't I accompany you for a stroll?"
Luo Xue withdrew her thoughts and smiled politely. "Aren't you busy today?"
"I am tired for a few days. I will rest today and come out for a walk."
"You are alone?"
"Of course not!" Wang Yao said. As soon as Luo Xue finished speaking, the girl who was with Ann Chen earlier had already pulled Ann Chen's arm.
Luo Xue was stunned. She looked at the young girl and then looked at Ann Chen.
"Aren't you going to introduce her?" The girl looked at Ann Chen and said. She looked like an unruly princess.
"Oh, this is my friend, Miss Luo Xue."
As he spoke, he looked at Luo Xue and replied, "This is..."
"I am his girlfriend!"
When Luo Xue heard this, she blinked her eyes vigorously.
"What? You don't believe me?"
Luo Xue realized that she had lost her composure and quickly replied, "No, hello. I am Luo Xue."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand.
The little girl looked at her disdainfully before extending her hand and casually touched it. It was all perfunctory.
Luo Xue awkwardly retracted her hand and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little oppressive.
She could understand that the little girl did not like her. After all, her surprise just now was impolite. But she was still very conflicted. Ann Chen, this kind of gentle man, how could he like this type of girl?
It did not mean that she had an opinion on this type of girl, but she felt that it was strange.
It was said that birds of a feather flock together. Ann Chen's girlfriend... What, it shouldn't be like this.
Ann Chen saw that the little girl was rude to Luo Xue and frowned slightly. His expression became more serious. "Mengmeng, don't mess around!"
The little girl looked up at Ann Chen and saw his serious face. She timidly pouted and said, "Isn't it just a joke? Why are you so serious?"
As she spoke, she pulled Ann Chen's arm and shook it.
Seeing that his expression was still serious, the girl ran forward and suddenly grabbed Luo Xue's arm. "Sister, hello. I'm Meng Meng, his cousin. Don't misunderstand."
Luo Xue was a little confused, but she still smiled. "It's nothing."
Meng Meng saw Luo Xue smile and then looked at Ann Chen and said, "See, sister's temper is better than yours!"
Only then did Ann Chen helplessly sigh. "You..."
"Aiya! This pair of rings is so beautiful, it looks like Mu Daji's..."
Before Ann Chen could finish, she snatched the ring from Ann Chen's hand and moved closer to the counter, her face full of surprise.
"Sorry to make you laugh. My sister just came back from Australia yesterday, and she is in a rebellious period, naughty and willful." Ann Chen explained.
Luo Xue smiled. "Girls of this age are all like this."
When she finished speaking, she looked at the young girl again. She seemed to have become very passionate. "Are you sure that it is the same as Mu Daji's diamond ring?"
"Of course. It is designed by the famous Master Evelyn. You can observe it yourself and make a comparison with the wedding ring on Mu Daji's hand."
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Alright! Wrap it up, I want it!"
Luo Xue looked at her carefree manner and could not help but be stunned for a moment... She had seen the price of that pair of rings before. She did not know the exact number of zeros behind it, but it was a lot!
Just because it was similar to Mu Shucheng's, she had to spend so much money to buy it?
After the girl finished speaking, she ran to Ann Chen's side and said, "Brother, lend me some money!"
Ann Chen smiled and rubbed her hair. He took out a card from his bag and handed it to her. "Buy whatever you see. You should learn to be thrifty and thrifty."
When Luo Xue heard this, a trace of surprise unconsciously flashed across the corner of her eyes.
She thought that if it was Mu Shucheng, he would definitely wave his hand and not look at the price!
Thinking about it, it was still Ann Chen who was suitable to live a life. This had nothing to do with how much money was. Many a time, Mu Shucheng was wasting money.
"Thank you, brother. You are my favorite man after Mu Daji!"
After saying that, he happily ran to the payment counter.
Luo Xue shifted her gaze to her and secretly slandered in her heart: Mu Shucheng really is a man, woman, young and old who eats all! Even girls who live abroad can become his fans! Not being an actor is a pity!
But looking at her cheerful appearance, she thought of Mu Jiao'en again. If her heart was pure, would Mu Shucheng also dote on her like this? The girl quickly paid the money and ran to Ann Chen's side. She took the various bags in his hands and said, "You guys walk around, I'm leaving first!"
After she said that, she threw a flirtatious glance at Ann Chen and whispered, "The girl is not bad! You can do it!"
Her voice was not loud, but Luo Xue could still hear it. An awkward look flashed across her eyes and her face unconsciously turned red.
"If you have something to do..."
"I have nothing to do in the afternoon." Before Luo Xue could finish, she was interrupted by Ann Chen.
"I have been very busy recently. It is rare that I have time. Shall we go for a stroll?"
Seeing his honest eyes, Luo Xue could not refuse.
Directly rejecting him made it seem that her mind was not pure.
The afternoon passed very quickly. It was rare for Luo Xue to be so relaxed. When she was with Ann Chen, she felt comfortable in her heart.
The two of them walked around for a long time until Lee Kaimi called and Luo Xue said goodbye to Ann Chen.
"Thank you for accompanying me shopping." She said politely.
"I think you are shopping with me," Ann Chen said, waving the big and small pocket in his hand.
They were all tools he needed for painting.
In the past, Ann Chen had asked people to send these things to his house, but today, he suggested going to the literary and ink market.
There were many things there, the atmosphere was good, and the price was appropriate.
Sure enough, Luo Xue became talkative when she arrived there. Although most of them were about painting and building, Ann Chen was still happy.
The two of them were together. No matter what they talked about, it was fine as long as they had a common topic!
Luo Xue looked at the time and saw that it was already six o'clock. Thinking that Ann Chen's car had been driven by his cousin, she said,
"It is not early then. Do you want me to send you back?"
Ann Chen heard her and smiled. "There's no reason for a lady to send a man back. I'll take a taxi back! Do your thing! "
After he said that, he suddenly said, "Are you free these few days?"
"Yes? What's the matter?"
"Yes, a friend is getting married and needs to find a partner to attend his wedding. Do you have time?"
Ann Chen said carefully, afraid that Luo Xue would not agree, so he forgot to talk about the time.
Luo Xue felt a little awkward, but when she saw Ann Chen's honest and nervous expression, she could not bear to directly refuse.
"When?"
"The day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow? On Mu Jiao'en's engagement day.
