CHAPTER 259
"Nevertheless, if she feels she must compensate me, then let her owe me one. With this, I can call it even."
The sound of those words coming from Andromeda's lips left Gao Yuemi speechless.
Never would she think she would owe Andromeda a favour. She hated to be tied to or connected to her for anything.
She had stolen the heart of the man she loved. It was better to pay for her good and remain enemies, than to have her have one over her.
"Okay. That seems fair as well."
All the while, Ye Yuan had his fair share of an inner laugh. The whole scenario had played out so well that he barely needed to do anything.
"Fine. Thank you. I would make sure to be of help when the favour is needed. If you would please excuse me, I need to take my leave."
Unlike before, she did not wait to buy anything there and took the nearest staircase leading to the down floor.
All through her walk down, she kept her head hanging tall and ignored stares being sent her way.
"Phew!" Liu Xiao Xin breathed out while bringing her attention to the others. "That ended well.'
"Sure. I am sorry to ruin your shopping, Xiao Xin," Andromeda enunciated.
"Nah. It is okay. I wasn't up for it to be honest. She made me leave the house. I would call one of my brother's friends to pick me up for an outing to better my mood and probably take a look around while I wait."
Andromeda gave a slight nod of understanding.
"I can't ruin a good outfit now, can I?" Liu Xiao Xin added.
"You can't. Anyways, we planned on seeing the movies next after this. You can come with us if you are interested."
"I thought you'd never ask," Liu Xiao Xin let out.
"Is that a yes?"
"Of course. I am very much interested. And more so, I would love to get to know these two ladies," her eyes lazily drove over to Xiaoli and Xiaofei. "They were feisty in protecting you."
"Hahaha, they are such big darlings. Thank you."
Liu Xiao Xin held her smile with a twinkle in her eyes. Together they shifted their attention to Ye Yuan.
No matter how they thought about it, it was both weird to see him here and not because of their fight but something else.
"Umm, you are here," Andromeda began. "What are you going to do? Continue shopping?"
The moment she voiced those words, everyone fixed their gaze around to really understand what he came here for.
"Huh, I came shopping," he let out without thinking.
"Did you come for some lingerie shopping?" Andromeda inquired, finding it weird as the session and floor they were on were not suited for him.
Immediately he scanned around for the person he had brought with him as his brain fumed with any excuse it could conjure at the moment.
"Huh, not me. We were shooting at the opposite complex," he explained and reached up to scratch his hair. "I got bored and decided to accompany her."
The knowing look Andromeda gave him made him feel his lies weren't working.
Actually, when he saw the message Jain Xiaofei sent, he knew it was a lingerie shop he was going to when he checked the map on google. Which was why he brought her with him, in hopes of using her as a cover.
"Really?" Liu Xiao Xin asked in disbelief and folded her arms in front of her chest.
Knowing his sister, he knew she would not let the matter go unless he found out the truth behind it.
Although she tried not to pry into people's personal lives, she could not help but get her answers in a more convincing and cornering manner.
If there were a title befitting her, it would be the cunny fox of the Liu family. That was another reason their father wanted her to join the family's business.
Her ideas and gameplay in business were beneficial, especially against crafty businessmen who feel they could cut chases and play one over you.
Suddenly as he looked for his saviour, his eyes landed on Jian Xiaofei who for some reason remained silent and studied the scene before her.
Not hoping she would guess anything from looking at him, he peeled his eyes away and finally caught sight of her.
"Ah, there she is," he called out. "Stephanie Si!"
They all followed his line of sight to the brown-haired young girl standing close to a bra set.
"Yes?"
He gave her a weary smile, hoping she would get the deal and come save his sorry ass from being slaughtered by these curious women.
Unfortunately for him, the latter furrowed her brows deeply and tilted her head to the side. "Huh?"
Just watching this felt so painful for Jian Xiaofei. She did not need help in realizing what was going on.
In the end, she came to the conclusion that he was sent by Liu Xueyi but did not want to give himself away.
"I see what is going on," Jian Xiaofei chipped in and succeeded in drawing their attention to her.
"Huh? You do?" Peng Xiaoli questioned as her eyes raked over Jain Xiaoli.
"Yes. He must want to buy his girlfriend a lingerie set and asked her to help him pick. Hahhaa," she chuckled lightly. "Guys are mostly shy to do this. And who better than him to know her size, hmm. I bet that's why he is here."
"Oh…"
Not wanting to believe it entirely, the three ladies shifted their eyes back to him expectantly.
"Is that true?"
Smiling, he nodded his head slowly. "Yeees."
He twisted his lips a bit to the side and nodded his head in affirmation. "Yes."
"You see. You ladies shouldn't probe a guy for this so much. It would be too awkward for him. Besides, we do not want him to stop making such sweet gestures for his girlfriend," Jian Xiaoli added.
"Hehehe…"
'Thank you for the alibi Xiaoli. However, you are in soup for thinking of this kind.'
