Chapter 431: Buy, Buy, Buy
Looking at Xiyan’s lost and conflicted expression, Qiao Qianmo’s eyes flashed with a trace of unmistakable smugness.She had said it before—her aunt would never accept Xia Xiyan.
In her mind, the Young Madam of the Ou Family could only be Susan’s daughter!
No matter whether Susan is still alive in this world, no matter whether she truly has a daughter...
But one thing is certain.
As long as her aunt is around, Xia Xiyan can forget about marrying into the Ou Family in this lifetime!
Looking at Ou Jue’s back, Qiao Qianmo’s eyes were filled with deep and unwavering affection.
She had never seen Ou Jue as a brother.
In other words, she and Ou Jue were childhood sweethearts, growing up together without any secrets!
And Xia Xiyan? What does she even count for?!
-
The Lamborghini drove steadily down the road.
Ou Jue glanced at Xiyan’s petite face out of the corner of his eye, then reached out and took her hand, bringing it to his lips and gently brushing against it. "Dummy, what’s with the mournful look?"
"What do you think? Do you think I can force a smile right now?" Xiyan lowered her gaze. "If you all actually find Susan, and she happens to have a daughter, does that mean I really have to... leave you?"
"Stop entertaining such ideas!" Ou Jue bit her fingertip playfully in a punitive manner. "Xia Xiyan, you’re mine. You’re not allowed to leave me in this lifetime."
His words, as always, carried an air of dominance and authority.
Every word was infused with an unassailable confidence.
It was very much Ou Jue’s style.
Xiyan bit her lip. "But Aunt Ou doesn’t think that way..."
"No one’s opinions will ever affect my decisions! Got it?"
Xiyan lowered her small head.
Although Ou Jue gave her a deep sense of security, she couldn’t shake the feeling that the existence of Susan was like a ticking time bomb.
It was riddled with uncertainties.
Arghhh, it made Xiyan almost want to find Susan herself right away—at least once the truth was revealed, her heart could be more at ease.
Lost in thought, Xiyan suddenly realized that Ou Jue had already stopped the car.
Wait... Is this an underground parking lot?
Ou Jue unbuckled his seatbelt. "Get out."
"Where are we? What are we doing here?" Xiyan hurriedly unfastened her seatbelt and opened the car door as well.
"Shopping."
"Huh? Shopping for what?"
"Whatever you want!" Ou Jue wrapped an arm around Xiyan’s shoulders, his sunglasses hanging casually at his collar in a total boss-like gesture. "As long as you like it."
Don’t they all say that when girls are upset, shopping is the cure?
Clothes, bags, lipstick—whatever makes her happy. Hell, they’d buy the entire mall if that’s what it took.
Xiyan couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation. "But I don’t have anything I want to buy."
"Then pick whatever catches your eye and buy it! You have to buy something."
"..." Seriously, picking anything just because it looks decent? Is there really someone out there who forces you to shop?
...
At a particular brand’s boutique.
Ou Jue practically brought Xiyan here against her will, with an attitude that screamed, "You won’t be going home unless you buy something today."
Helpless, Xiyan started to let her gaze wander around the shop.
Her phone rang, and Ou Jue glanced at it. Then he said to Xiyan, "I’ll step outside to take this call."
Xiyan nodded.
Stepping out of the boutique, Ou Jue swiped his phone open, his voice low. "Speak."
"Young Master Ou," came Chen Xin’s voice on the other end of the line. "I’ve looked into the information you asked me to investigate regarding Miss Xia’s mother, Xia Zhiyun. She indeed..."
