Chapter 251: Could You Try to Like Me (4)
When there was no shortage of money, she never paid attention, but now, with financial constraints, these things really seemed expensive."Miss? What do you think?"
Qiao Mo was silent for a few seconds and, almost as if possessed, nodded and said, "I’ll take this one then."
After paying, she walked over to Fu Nancheng with the tie, handed it to him and said, "A tie."
Fu Nancheng glanced at her, took it, and went over to the mirror to put it on.
But the man had other intentions, tying the neatly good tie in a loose manner.
After he turned around, Qiao Mo frowned slightly, instinctively raising her hand to carefully fix it for him.
He just watched her quietly, his gaze resting on her fair little face with a hint of indulgence.
A few seconds later, seemingly sensing something off, Qiao Mo slowly withdrew her hand, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.
"Let’s go," she said softly.
After leaving the store, they walked in silence through the mall, neither breaking the quiet.
Until at one corner, Qiao Mo turned around, only to be stopped by him again, cornered against the wall.
"Fu... Fu Nancheng, what are you doing again?" she said with a hint of wariness.
"You didn’t compliment me earlier," Fu Nancheng looked at her seriously.
Qiao Mo looked at him with some disdain...
Was this man sick in the head?
Could it really be a fever?
Immediately, Qiao Mo reached out and gently touched his forehead, feeling it carefully for a moment: "No fever at all."
Fu Nancheng’s face darkened a bit, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he leaned a little closer, speaking in a low voice, "If you don’t compliment me, I’ll kiss you."
Qiao Mo sighed and had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "Very handsome, dashing beyond words."
"And?"
"Low-key and reserved, a... a man of extraordinary temperament."
"Hmm, keep going."
Qiao Mo felt a headache coming on, but under his gaze, her heart was racing, yet she couldn’t think of any more words.
"Lo... looks like a dragon among men..."
"Continue."
"Erm... a presence that stands out."
Qiao Mo swore she was genuinely trying to think.
But her mind was blank, feeling that no matter what words she used, they didn’t seem quite fitting or appropriate for this man.
Otherwise, when he first appeared, just one look at him made her ears burn.
"Is it really that good?" Fu Nancheng asked softly.
"Yeah," Qiao Mo nodded vigorously.
He stared at her for a long time and then softly said, "Can you try to like me?"
Qiao Mo was completely stunned, staring at him blankly.
Can you try to like me?
Try to like me...
His deep black eyes mirrored her reflection, not looking like he was joking.
At this moment, Qiao Mo’s mind went blank, never expecting him to say something like this.
What... what did he mean?
Fu Nancheng waited for a long time, then looked away and said, "Let’s go eat first."
Qiao Mo nodded dumbly, following his side, her mind in a whirl.
Try to like him?
Why would he say such a thing...
She secretly lifted her head to observe his profile but remained silent.
Even after the meal, she still seemed absent-minded.
Following behind him, it was only upon entering a store that she realized they had unknowingly wandered into the women’s clothing section.
"This," his gaze settled on a light blue chiffon dress, and he turned to glance at Qiao Mo’s figure.
Seeing the salesperson go to find the size, Qiao Mo tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "What are you doing? I’m out of money..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nancheng was slightly stunned.
There was a probing look in his eyes as he looked at her, half-smiling.
Qiao Mo wished she could bite her own tongue off. Spending money she didn’t have to buy him a tie, she really wasn’t sure what he’d think...
