Chapter 557: Thank You Gift
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As Murong Qiao restrained her thoughts from flying around, she also pretended to be calm and pressed down on her body to not move.
“I’ll be careful. Stand still.”
Especially when Huo Yichen spoke behind her back. He clearly didn’t press his mouth to her ear, but Murong Qiao’s face was still a little hot.
The more she couldn’t see, the more lively her other senses and thoughts became.
She felt Huo Yichen’s fingertips wrap her hair around her back and fiddle with the zipper. Her mind worked with her imagination to help Murong Qiao imagine the corresponding actions.
Moreover, since the distance between the two of them was almost zero, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but smell the cold fragrance coming from Huo Yichen.
It was rich and heavy, but it was not a smell that she disliked. Instead, the moment she smelled it, Murong Qiao subconsciously felt at ease and couldn’t help but smile.
Fortunately, that strand of hair was only accidentally pulled into the zipper by Murong Qiao just now. It was not very difficult to release. Huo Yichen only needed to twist it slightly to liberate it.
“It’s done.” Huo Yichen straightened up.
He casually placed the clothes he had brought, which were a size smaller, beside Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll do the rest myself.”
“I’ll help you pull down the zipper before going out, lest you pull your hair again.” Huo Yichen was helpless. “It hurts.”
As soon as he said this, Murong Qiao almost instantly had some colorful images in her mind.
Fortunately, Huo Yichen only turned his back and really only helped her pull the zipper before going out.
After the other party disappeared behind the curtain, Murong Qiao finally relaxed, but there was an indescribable anticipation in her heart.
Hiss… What was she thinking!
Murong Qiao hurriedly shook her head to clear her mind and patted her slightly red cheeks.
She’s a decent girl.
Murong Qiao muttered in her heart. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the clothes, she reached out and lifted the curtain, planning to walk out to let Huo Yichen take a look.
However, when she walked out, she realized that Huo Yichen was not at the door.
Murong Qiao looked around. After confirming that there was no one, she fumbled to the side to look for him. In any case, the shop was not big. She should be able to see it after walking around.
However, before she saw anyone, she heard a girl’s enthusiastic voice.
“Hello, handsome. Can I add you on WeChat?”
Almost the moment she heard this, Murong Qiao turned around and saw Huo Yichen standing in the couple’s outfit area, as well as the girl smiling brightly in front of him and handing over her cell phone.
“I have a girlfriend.” Huo Yichen rejected her coldly without even looking at her.
However, the girl was not discouraged. “You’re shopping alone on Valentine’s Day and even said that you have a girlfriend. Handsome, isn’t your excuse too insincere?”
“Why don’t we give it a try? I think I’m not bad-looking—” The girl refused to give up and asked again.
After all, it was rare to see a high-quality man like Huo Yichen. Moreover, she had met him in a shop like Silence. It was obvious how good her life would be in the future.
The girl took a fancy to Huo Yichen at a glance and even dared to talk to him.
“Ah Chen!” Murong Qiao appeared at this moment and hugged Huo Yichen from behind. She looked at the girl who was asking for Huo Yichen’s contact information without hiding it.
Seeing her come out, Huo Yichen hurriedly turned to look at her. “Be careful.”
The girl had just said that she was good-looking. When she saw Murong Qiao coming over, she immediately choked and didn’t say anything else.
Her arrogance because of her looks became nothing in front of Murong Qiao.
Without needing the two of them to divert their attention, the girl lowered her head and left.
“Boring.” Murong Qiao lowered his voice. “I thought she would be a very powerful girl.”
She originally had an outline of how to fight with the other party in her mind, but before she could say anything, the girl left.
“There’s no need to pay attention to that. This dress really suits you.” Huo Yichen reached out to help her comb her messy hair back together. “I’ll get the shop assistant to pack it and send it to your house later.”
“Alright, I’ll go change back—” Murong Qiao was about to say.
She couldn’t possibly walk outside in such a gown. It felt strange.
However, Huo Yichen stopped her and stuffed another set of clothes into Murong Qiao’s hand. “Change into this.”
“Huh?” Murong Qiao was stunned.
She subconsciously looked at the clothes in her hand and saw a pure white minimalist sweater land in her hand.
The large area of pure white and cut looked very comfortable. The only eye-catching design was the pattern on the back. It was a rabbit pattern outlined with simple lines with a faint pink golden base. It was beautiful and wouldn’t stand out much.
Murong Qiao didn’t suspect anything. Seeing Huo Yichen give her this sweater, she changed into it. When she came out of the fitting room for the second time, she realized that Huo Yichen had also changed out of his usual formal outfit. Instead, he was wearing the same sweater as her, but in black.
“Sure enough, you look good in everything.” Huo Yichen held her hand and walked out of the shop.
Although he didn’t say it, Murong Qiao understood what Huo Yichen meant. She understood that he wanted to prevent the situation from happening again.
The two of them walked to the counter and Huo Yichen took out his card to pay.
“Thank you, both of you. In addition, our shop is having an event today. This is a gift.” The shop assistant smiled and swiped his card to pay the bill.
Looking at Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen in their couple outfits, the shop assistant glanced at the black card Huo Yichen handed over and happily began to calculate how much commission she could get this time.
Murong Qiao reached out and received two pairs of head accessories from the shop assistant.
It looked like the kind that one wore on one’s head. One was a cat ear, and the other was a dog ear. They were both very realistic and cute. Just touching the soft fur with her fingertips was enough to make her like them.
A bold idea appeared in Murong Qiao’s mind. Then, she secretly sized up Huo Yichen, who was a head taller than her.
After paying the bill and leaving the shop with Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao couldn’t stop her thoughts and was a little tempted.
“Ah Chen, can you wear this?” She handed the pair of dog earrings to Huo Yichen.
Huo Yichen naturally wouldn’t reject her. “Alright.”
“Then as a thank you, I’ll wear one too!” Murong Qiao answered in the next second.
This was the moment she had been waiting for.
Huo Yichen didn’t answer. He first helped Murong Qiao put on the head band. The white cute ears on her hair were exceptionally obvious, and he even reached out to touch it a few times.
But before that, Huo Yichen first bent down very cooperatively so that he was at the same level as Murong Qiao.
The sudden closeness made Murong Qiao subconsciously want to take a step back.
“Didn’t you say you were going to help me wear it?” Huo Yichen observed her reaction and asked in amusement.
Murong Qiao bit her lip. “Then don’t move.”
She seemed to be a little angry with her reaction just now. This time, she pretended to be calm and stood in front of Huo Yichen. She gently opened the head band and placed it on Huo Yichen’s hair.
“It’s done,” she said softly, and withdrew her hand.
However, Huo Yichen didn’t get up. Instead, when Murong Qiao was not paying attention, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
“Then, this is a thank-you gift..”
