As soon as she arrived at the mall, Shen Yin saw Li Zi waiting at the entrance in a neat and casual outfit. She was holding two cups of milk tea.
Shen Yin stepped on the brakes and steadily came to a halt in front of her.
Li Zi swallowed a mouthful of milk tea. She was about to take out her phone to take a photo and send it to Shen Yin to tell her there was a luxury car parked in front of her, when she looked up and saw the car window roll down, revealing a familiar and charming face.
“Yin Yin! Is this your car?” Li Zi looked at the car in shock, unable to believe her eyes.
Shen Yin parked the car and reached out to take the milk tea from her. She inserted the straw and nodded with a smile.
Li Zi exclaimed in disbelief, “Did you win the lottery? Why didn’t you tell me about such good news? You’re too much.”
“I didn’t win the lottery.” Shen Yin took a sip of milk tea before telling Li Zi the whole story.
She had not returned to Li Zi’s place for the past few days. It was only today that she had the chance to tell her good friend about Lian Jing.
“Yin Yin, you have won the lottery!” Li Zi still found it unbelievable and exclaimed over Shen Yin’s good luck.
She knew what had happened six years ago. She thought that had been a calamity for Shen Yin, but now, she had unexpectedly gained Lian Jing.
“You have to hold on to this man tightly. He’s handsome and rich, and he’s good to Nian Nian. I think he’ll be a good father and a good husband. Don’t miss this opportunity.” Li Zi was genuinely happy for her, but she knew Shen Yin very well. She knew that Shen Yin was not someone who would compromise for money. She was afraid that Shen Yin would be too stubborn and miss out on a good marriage for nothing.
“He and I…” Shen Yin laughed ambiguously. Then, she shook her head and shrugged off her worries. “Forget it, let’s not talk about him anymore. Let’s choose a gift first.”
“Oh…” Li Zi deliberately dragged her words and smiled mischievously. “So it’s a gift for him.”
Seeing that her friend’s face was getting redder and redder, Li Zi kindly stopped teasing her. She patted her chest and promised, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I guarantee he will be satisfied.”
“Nonsense.” Shen Yin rolled her eyes at her, then took her arm and walked into the mall.
The two of them had not had the chance to shop like this since their return. They missed the carefree days of the past.
Li Zi was a typical shopaholic. She quickly led Shen Yin to the men’s clothing section and analyzed the situation for Shen Yin with an experienced air. “I think a suit would be best. He’s a President, so he seldom without a suit. Moreover, as long as he wears the suit, I guarantee that he’ll think of you every day.”
Shen Yin blushed. “No. A suit is too expensive. It costs almost as much as my annual salary.”
Li Zi looked at the price and nodded in agreement. “Indeed, there’s no need to buy him such expensive things. Then let’s buy a simple accessory, like a tie, tie pin, wallet, and so on.”
Shen Yin looked at the dazzling array of men’s accessories on the counter and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Her gaze was drawn to a belt carved with a silver dragon.
The shop assistant took out a key and opened the cabinet door. She took out the belt that Shen Yin had spotted and gave a detailed explanation of its features.
As Shen Yin listened, she subconsciously picked up her belt. Her mind was filled with the man’s taut chest and muscled waist.
At that opportune moment, Li Zi came over and sighed. “This is good choice. A gift like that can add to the fun. Think about it, you gave it to him. He will think of you every time he unbuckles his belt. If you unbuckle it yourself…”
“Don’t talk rubbish. I’ll find you a man to marry some day. Then we’ll see if you’re still full of nonsense.” Shen Yin hurriedly let go of her belt as if it had scalded her hands. She then turned to look at the other gifts with a flushed face.
“This belt is really suitable as a birthday present. It’s very practical and the price is also reasonable.” Li Zi wistfully handed the belt to Shen Yin. “Why don’t you reconsider?”
Shen Yin gritted her teeth. Her mind was filled with what Li Zi had said. When she looked at this gift again, it was as if she had ulterior motives. She was unwilling to buy it.
“Just buy this. There’s nothing going on between the two of you, so you don’t have to think so much. It’s just a birthday. Why are you so conflicted? Even if you’re just friends, you can still give him a belt.” Li Zi said persuasively. She thought highly of Lian Jing, so she persuaded her good friend to give him this slightly flirtatious gift.
Li Zi inwardly complimented herself on her efforts. She hoped that when the two of them really got together, Lian Jing would be grateful and at least treat her to a meal.
