Chapter 35 Selling Gold Jewelry at a Gold Shop
"Does the boss want me to go with you to pick out a gift?" Chu Xinglan asked, as if to confirm.
Xue Bai nodded.
"This is very important, so you must choose carefully." Xue Bai nodded.
"What kind of gift are we going to choose?" Chu Xinglan asked curiously.
"A gift for a baby's one-month celebration."
"The baby's one-month celebration?" Chu Xinglan was startled and asked in a low voice, "Gu Ye's?"
"How is that possible? The boss is still single, where would he get a child?" Xue Bai looked at Chu Xinglan strangely.
The boss's love life is really bumpy. This girl has absolutely no interest in him, yet she thinks he'll have a child with someone else!
Chu Xinglan was actually relieved to hear that the child was not Gu Ye's.
"Welcome! Are you two looking to buy engagement rings or wedding rings?"
The waiter saw Chu Xinglan and Xue Bai enter side by side and mistakenly assumed they were a couple.
"A gift for the baby's one-month celebration." Chu Xinglan stated her request directly.
The waiter was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your figure hasn't changed at all. I didn't realize you already have a child!"
"You're wrong, it's not my child, I bought it for someone else," Chu Xinglan explained calmly.
The waiter instantly looked embarrassed.
When the waiter misunderstood his relationship with Chu Xinglan, Xue Bai was also very anxious. If Gu Ye found out, he would be in trouble again. Xue Bai explained, "She and I are colleagues."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the service staff quickly apologized.
Seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman walking together and buying gold, one would naturally assume they were a couple, but it turns out they were just colleagues.
The waiter stole a glance at Xue Bai and felt that he had an extraordinary demeanor and handsome appearance. He must be rich to be able to shop in a jewelry store. She thought it would be great to have a boyfriend like him.
Thinking about it, the waiter flicked his hair with his fingers and became even more attentive to Xue Bai.
"I wonder if you're giving this away as a gift, or selling it on behalf of a friend?" the waiter asked deliberately, trying to find out if Xue Bai was married and whether she had a chance.
"Is it all?" Xue Bai said, looking at Chu Xinglan: "Xinglan, let's take a look at the gold."
Chu Xinglan nodded, and the two strolled around the gold shop. A waiter followed behind them and even offered them a glass of water.
Xue Bai asked Chu Xinglan, "Have you decided what gift to buy?"
Chu Xinglan didn't answer him immediately, but instead asked the little baby, "Baby, if it were you, what kind of gift would you like?"
"Sweets, cake!" the little baby said with a grin.
"Baby, normal children shouldn't eat too many sweets. Because you are a child spirit, your situation is special, so there are no such restrictions. But normal children can't eat like this."
Chu Xinglan smiled gently.
"Tell Mommy, which of these golden things do you like best?"
"Alright then!" The little baby could only pout and climb onto the gold counter, groping around randomly.
Chu Xinglan moved along with the baby's movements.
Since Xue Bai couldn't see the baby, he saw Chu Xinglan's gaze sweeping over the gold counters.
The little baby's hand eventually landed on a beautiful gold lock, complete with a gold bell, which was very exquisite and unique.
"Baby, you're so great!" Chu Xinglan praised her.
"Mommy, baby wants sweets." The little baby clung to Chu Xinglan's neck as if asking for a reward.
"Okay, after we're done here, I'll go buy you some sweets as a reward," Chu Xinglan said with a smile.
"Mommy is the best!" The little baby kissed Chu Xinglan on the cheek.
"Have you made your choice?" Xue Bai asked again.
"Let's have that gold lock!" Chu Xinglan said, pointing to the gold lock on the counter.
When the waiter heard that Chu Xinglan had taken a liking to the gold lock, he immediately smiled and said, "This young lady has excellent taste. This is our store's prized possession, and it would be perfect as a gift for a baby's one-month celebration."
"Okay, this one will do!" Chu Xinglan smiled. The baby's taste was indeed good; children definitely understand each other.
"Please wait a moment, I'll pack it in a box for you right away." The waiter carefully took out the gold lock.
"Take this card, no PIN required!" Xue Bai took out a card and handed it to the waiter.
"Yes, sir." The waiter looked at Xue Bai with affection before turning and leaving.
Chu Xinglan didn't miss the waiter's expression. She smiled secretly and then asked, "Assistant Xue, do you have any friends?"
"Why are you suddenly asking me this?" Assistant Xue was startled. If he didn't know that a high-quality man like Gu Ye was pursuing her, he would have thought that Chu Xinglan had a crush on him.
"Just asking out of curiosity, a handsome and wealthy man like you must have a lot of women who like you!"
"You have a good eye!" Xue Bai felt a little smug after Chu Xinglan said that, but then he sighed, "Alas, even standing next to the boss, I can only play a supporting role."
"Why are you comparing yourself to him? Just don't treat him like a human being." Chu Xinglan stuck out her tongue.
That was a man standing on a cloud.
"Your words make me even more upset," Xue Bai said, looking utterly dejected.
"We've gone off on a tangent. Do you even have a girlfriend?" Chu Xinglan brought the topic back on track.
"What are you doing? Do you want to introduce me to a girlfriend?" Xue Bai stared at Chu Xinglan strangely.
"Do you want the girlfriend you've formed?" Chu Xinglan glanced at the waiter who was walking towards them with great confidence.
Xue Bai's face darkened; this little girl was actually trying to make fun of him.
"You have a husband right here, why don't you want him?" If you try to make him happy, he'll just retaliate.
Chu Xinglan's expression changed.
"Um, let's not talk about this anymore." Chu Xinglan scratched her neck, trying to stop the conversation.
At this moment, the waiter came over, returned Xue Bai's bank card to him, and also handed over the packaged gold lock.
"Here is the gold lock you requested. Please take it."
"Okay!" Just as Chu Xinglan was about to take the gold lock, a figure walked past her and bumped into her, knocking her against the counter. If Xue Bai hadn't been quick-witted and protected her, she would have been injured.
"How do you walk?" Xue Bai scolded the other person.
The woman was a young lady. She was unfazed by Xue Bai's accusation and said indifferently, "If you're blocking the way and get hit, who can you blame?"
"It's so wide here! It's hard to walk over there, yet you insist on bumping into people, and you still have the nerve to say that?" Xue Bai was furious. If it weren't for the fact that the other person was a woman, he would have already attacked her.
The woman remained arrogant, raising her head haughtily and saying disdainfully, "I can't be bothered to lower myself to the level of such vulgar people as you."
The woman's attitude made even the usually good-tempered Xue Bai unable to resist hitting her. If Chu Xinglan hadn't stopped him, he really would have struck.
