Chapter 295: Chapter 292: Covered in Wine
Walking in two pairs of shoes, He Qianhui took a few steps without noticing any difference between them.
The man immediately realized and took several pairs of shoes from the shelf for her.
He asked He Qianhui to try them on one by one.
In just a short time, she had already tried on seven or eight pairs.
Originally, she just wanted to buy a pair to replace the high heels she was wearing.
Moreover, she wouldn’t be staying in this place for more than a few days.
Being able to go out shopping today was because the client had suggested it first.
If the client hadn’t mentioned it, she and Feng Nuo would most likely have returned to the hotel to rest.
"Alright, alright, let’s go with this pair on my feet, they’re quite comfortable and very breathable,"
The salesperson beside her breathed a sigh of relief.
"So would you like to wear them now or should I pack them for you?"
"I’ll wear them, please put these high heels in a bag for me."
Just as He Qianhui was wearing her new shoes to pay at the cashier, the young lady at the register told her
someone had already paid for her.
The shoes weren’t expensive, just a few hundred yuan.
But since He Qianhui hadn’t done anything to deserve this reward, knowing who had paid, she immediately went to find him.
"I can afford a pair of shoes, how could you trouble yourself to pay for me? How much is it? I’ll transfer the money to you,"
He Qianhui took out her phone intending to transfer money, but the man pocketed his phone.
"No need, no need, consider it a gift from me, let’s take advantage of the good weather,"
"and go out for a walk. I know a very nice restaurant around here."
"The food there tastes great, you’ll regret it if you don’t try it while you’re here."
He Qianhui had no room to refuse, since he had insisted, she couldn’t fail to give face.
Walking out of the shoe store with Feng Nuo, He Qianhui didn’t realize she had bought a pair too.
However, the styles they liked were different, the pair she chose looked more flashy.
He Qianhui walked along, looking around, noticing there wasn’t really anything distinctive on this street.
Except for the richness of the snack stalls by the roadside, which she didn’t quite fancy.
But for Feng Nuo, it was like heaven.
Walking and looking around, he would occasionally stop in front of a snack stall.
Grabbing this and that, by the time they hadn’t reached the restaurant, his hands were full of plastic bags.
Arriving at the restaurant, they chose a four-person table by the window.
He Qianhui sat with Feng Nuo while the other two men sat together.
The two men ordered beer; He Qianhui didn’t feel like drinking and asked for a watermelon juice to quench her thirst.
But the man didn’t seem to want to give up that easily.
He kept pouring her drinks, trying to persuade her to take a sip.
Back and forth, he ended up spilling beer all over He Qianhui.
Seeing her clothes soaked and her underwear obliquely visible,
The man nearly stretched his eyeballs out to get a better look.
Feng Nuo immediately pulled out a couple of tissues for her to wipe off.
"Forget it, forget it, this outfit can’t be worn anymore,"
"I’ll go buy you a new one, what size do you wear?"
He Qianhui told him her clothing size and Feng Nuo hurriedly stood up to go buy it.
There happened to be a women’s clothing store on the street, so it shouldn’t take much time.
"Sorry about that, Miss He, I just couldn’t hold steady and got you all wet,"
He Qianhui waved her hands repeatedly: "It’s okay, just wait for Xiao Nuo to come back and change into the new clothes."
He Qianhui kept wiping with the tissue, her whole body smelling of alcohol, which was really unpleasant.
Wondering where Feng Nuo had gone to buy clothes, it took him over half an hour to return.
He Qianhui quickly took the clothes and hurried to the restroom to change.
She had spilled some drink on herself, but fortunately, there was a door to the restroom, which she shut behind her at the sink area.
She took off her top, which was soaked through to her underwear, and rinsed off with a handful of water.
Then, she wiped herself clean with a couple of paper towels, thankful that Feng Nuo had bought a comprehensive set of clothes.
She put on a new set of underwear and then slipped into a somewhat sexy blouse.
Qianhui then emerged from the restroom.
The clothes Feng Nuo had bought for her weren’t deliberately chosen, but rather because the other sizes weren’t available.
Plus, considering the hot weather today, it was better to wear something cooler.
Although it was definitely cooler, Qianhui was very aware.
The man sitting opposite her probably wished she would wear a low-cut top.
Even though this blouse wasn’t that conservative, it wasn’t so obvious, at least.
In the end, they still drank alcohol during the meal.
Fortunately, one drink didn’t have too much of a negative impact on her.
She had thought they would return to the hotel after strolling around here.
Unexpectedly, those two people even dragged Qianhui and Feng Nuo off to the cinema.
She wasn’t sure what good movies were out recently, but they went to buy tickets anyway.
The man took the initiative to buy them, leaving Qianhui looking helplessly at Feng Nuo.
"The clients we’re talking to about this partnership are a little too enthusiastic," she said.
Feng Nuo also sensed it, "I’m going to use the restroom. Xiaohui, wait here for me."
Feng turned and headed to the restroom, while Qianhui waited on the side.
"Miss He, here’s your ticket."
Qianhui glanced at the movie ticket she received.
"Such seats at the back? Is this movie very popular?" she asked.
The man’s eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "Indeed, it’s made by a famous director. If we had been any later, even these two tickets would be gone."
Qianhui didn’t frequent cinemas much, preferring to find a random film to relieve boredom at home.
Seldom going to the theater meant she took his word for it.
By the time Feng Nuo returned from the restroom, it was time to check tickets.
In the queue, Qianhui slowly edged forward.
Feng Nuo stood beside her and deliberately nudged her with her elbow.
"Why aren’t our four tickets in the same row? Are we splitting up to fight separately?" she asked.
Xiao Nuo’s comment was a bit strange, prompting Qianhui to look at her ticket.
Her ticket was toward the front, while her own was almost at the very back row.
She instantly understood what the man was planning.
Qianhui came up with an idea to switch tickets with Feng Nuo.
But then she thought about how the deal wasn’t signed yet. If she played games at this point,
it could affect the deal’s outcome, making this business trip a complete waste.
With that thought, she quickly dismissed the idea.
"The view is better from the front anyway, and since I don’t really love movies, it doesn’t matter where I sit," she said.
Feng Nuo thought nothing of it and, holding her own ticket, looked out at the long queue ahead.
A few minutes later, it was their turn to have their tickets checked and enter.
Once inside the theater, Qianhui counted each row to find her seat.
It was indeed the second to the last row of the cinema.
She had just sat down when that man took the seat next to hers.
He also handed her a large cup of a drink.
"I wasn’t sure what you girls like to drink, so I just got a cup of iced milk tea," he said.
Touching the cold cup of milk tea, Qianhui suddenly thought of something and said with a smile,
"I’ve been feeling unwell these few days and can’t drink cold stuff, but thank you anyway."
