Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Do You Like It Here, Sister Qinghan?

***

“Ruoming… you bought such an expensive bag, why are you still buying clothes for me? Don’t you know this is such a waste of money?” Although she was really happy inside, she still felt particularly heartbroken. Such expensive clothes were completely unnecessary for her, she could just wear replicas, why come to this kind of authentic store?

“Of course it’s for Sister Qinghan to wear. Only these kinds of clothes are worthy of Sister Qinghan’s elegance,” Xia Ruoming tilted her head and said seriously.

“Yes, yes, miss, the two dresses she picked for you match you very well,” the store clerk chimed in. She didn’t want Xiao Qinghan to return the items, losing such a big customer.

After all, although Givenchy was a luxury brand, it couldn’t compare to LV in China. Most people who came in chose bags and clothes around 2,300 yuan, unlike Xia Ruoming who wouldn’t look at anything under 5 digits.

“Ruoming, I’m not that kind of materialistic woman, and I don’t want to become that kind of person,” Xiao Qinghan frowned. “Maybe the girls you pursued before liked these things, but I don’t. If you do this again next time, I’ll really get angry.”

“Okay, okay, Sister Qinghan, just for today, absolutely won’t happen again,” Xia Ruoming said while gently wrapping her arm around Xiao Qinghan’s waist, whispering in her ear like she was being coy.

“Fine…” Xiao Qinghan sighed softly, looking at the shopping receipt, her heart aching terribly. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have jokingly agreed to let Xia Ruoming take her shopping at noon. Coming out once cost Xia Ruoming nearly 200,000 yuan. If the tags were still on, she could have secretly returned them, but Xia Ruoming had already cut off all the tags.

Wait… why was there another set of clothes on the receipt besides the dresses? Didn’t Xia Ruoming say she custom-ordered two dresses?

“Sister Qinghan, come try on this outfit and see if it fits~” As she spoke, Xia Ruoming was already walking over with a silver-buttoned women’s formal suit and handed the clothes to her.

Since Xiao Qinghan didn’t like high heels, Xia Ruoming didn’t buy any for her.

“Ruoming, you… why did you buy more clothes? Didn’t we say no more buying…”

“Eh? Sister Qinghan, didn’t you agree it was just for today, and then never again?” Xia Ruoming smiled lightly, “The agreed time hasn’t ended yet.”

“You…” Xiao Qinghan shook her head helplessly and could only take the women’s formal suit to try on.

When Xiao Qinghan came out of the fitting room, Xia Ruoming was stunned for several breaths. Completely different from the usual scholarly air about Xiao Qinghan, wearing the Givenchy women’s suit revealed her graceful figure completely. Paired with those classic black-framed glasses, it gave off a completely intellectual big sister vibe.

Seeing Xia Ruoming’s throat move as if swallowing something, Xiao Qinghan also blushed.

She usually didn’t like people staring at her, but for some reason, she didn’t dislike Xia Ruoming’s gaze — rather, she felt somewhat happy about it.

Xia Ruoming could only close her eyes and silently chant “I’m not a player, I’m not a player” to calm herself down.

Youth knows not the charm of older sisters, wrongly taking younger sisters as treasure, Xia Ruoming deeply understood the meaning of this saying. With her beautiful features, perfect figure, gentle and intellectual personality, frugal household management while still being greatly helpful to one’s career, whether for men or women, Xiao Qinghan had tremendous appeal.

“What are you doing, Ruoming? If you keep spacing out, you’ll be staying here tonight.” Seeing Xia Ruoming still not responding, Xiao Qinghan walked over and lightly poked her waist with her finger. The typically ticklish Xia Ruoming immediately snapped back to reality.

“I was just thinking how incredibly beautiful Sister Qinghan is,” Xia Ruoming answered truthfully.

“You’re just a smooth talker.” Xiao Qinghan complained, but inside she was blooming with joy. What could make one happier than having the person you like call you beautiful?

After picking out a pair of flat shoes for Xiao Qinghan at another counter, Xia Ruoming finally drove with Xiao Qinghan leisurely to look at houses.

“Ruoming, you bought so many things for me, why didn’t you buy anything for yourself?” Xiao Qinghan asked puzzledly, looking at Xia Ruoming who hadn’t bought anything for herself.

“Well… Sister Qinghan knows how much I love sports. These luxury items don’t really suit me. If I accidentally scratched something, I think Sister Qinghan would probably be more heartbroken than me,” Xia Ruoming said casually.

Actually, Xia Ruoming was just making excuses. She could bear to buy things for Xiao Qinghan but couldn’t bear to buy for herself. In her previous life, she wasn’t someone who liked wearing luxury brands either.

“Oh, that’s true.” Xiao Qinghan nodded in understanding when she heard Xia Ruoming’s words.

“Miss Xia, this villa’s location is very good, situated in a rare central position in this complex. The landscaping is good, the facilities are very complete. Not only is it very quiet, but the garden views in front and back are also very nice. Plus it’s very close to your campus Zijingang, less than 5 kilometers round trip, making it very convenient,” the real estate agent introduced while smiling and nodding respectfully.

He hadn’t encountered this kind of client in a long time, paying the full amount in one go, with the buyer covering the agent’s commission of a full 5 percent, all paid directly to his account. Just completing this deal would earn him 600,000 yuan in commission, equivalent to skipping quite a bit of hard work. Usually, they’d haggle over every point of the commission fee, and some would bypass agents to contact directly. Rarely encountering such a straightforward client, the agent’s attitude couldn’t have been better.

“Look at this villa’s layout, it’s especially good. This is the most popular layout in this complex. And there’s this nearly 100 square meter large terrace, perfect for growing flowers or converting into an observatory, or adding some rockery and fish ponds.”

“Although it’s a second-hand villa, it’s been very well maintained, no different from a brand new villa. It was also recently renovated. While similar villas outside sell for nearly 16 million yuan, this villa only needs 12 million.”

“Sister Qinghan, what do you think?” After touring the entire villa with the agent, Xia Ruoming asked. She didn’t mind either way, while this villa couldn’t compare to the super large riverside villa that Jiang Ruhua bought her in her previous life, it was enough for her.

But this villa was meant for Xiao Qinghan to live in, so she had to ask Xiao Qinghan’s opinion. Xia Ruoming might not have noticed herself, but in some ways, she was becoming a bit like Jiang Ruhua from her previous life.

“Ah? I think it’s very nice! The environment is good, the renovation is nice, and the house design is good too,” Xiao Qinghan answered, not knowing why Xia Ruoming suddenly asked for her opinion.

“That’s not what I meant… I’m asking, do you like it here, Sister Qinghan?”

“I do like it. Would anyone not like this place?” Xiao Qinghan still looked confused, wondering what her liking the place had to do with Xia Ruoming buying a villa.
