Chapter 709: Chapter 709: You Can’t Always Think About Being the Third Party
The car stopped at the entrance of Ruisa Shopping Mall.
Huo Sijiao opened the car door and pulled Qiao Xi inside.
Old Chen followed them from a distance to prevent any ill-intentioned people.
Huo Sijiao took Qiao Xi into a technologically advanced store and told the staff that they didn’t need any assistance. She picked up a basket and started filling it up. Qiao Xi glanced at the product introduction.
Her face turned completely red.
“Sister-in-law, these are all the latest intimate products. Young Master Sun said there’s an advanced experience center in the Ruisa Building. Don’t be shy, there are plenty of girls browsing too.”
Huo Sijiao received a fairly normal education, as Du Juan gave her enlightennt when she was young.
She was taught to face human needs openly, not to feel ashad, and not to think it was her fault when being judged by others.
Thus, she remained pure but was also open about such matters.
She had no experience because no man had taken her to that point, not because she was ashad of it. Nor was she like others who lived recklessly, destroying their own bodies.
“This one is pretty good, and so is this one.”
After browsing around, she looked at Qiao Xi and said, “Sister-in-law, is there anything else you need? Married life needs a bit of fun, my brother’s quite repressed.”
With these things, it wouldn’t be difficult to lt that iceberg.
“I don’t need anything else.”
Qiao Xi looked at her basket full of items, like straps, see-through clothes, and so small toys.
Everything seed to be available.
She and Huo Xingzhou were very restrained in bed, having never tried anything too extre, let alone these things.
“Then let’s go check out.”
Huo Sijiao took the basket in one hand and linked her arm with Qiao Xi as they headed for the cashier.
Just as she was about to pay with her phone, Qiao Xi stopped her.
“I’ll pay; how can I let you pay for ?” Although Qiao Xi was embarrassed about this, she couldn’t let Huo Sijiao settle the bill.
She didn’t oppose these things either.
Qiao Xi took out her phone, scanned the code, and paid, then beckoned Huo Sijiao to leave with the bag in hand.
Huo Sijiao looked at her and was montarily stunned.
“Sister-in-law, I thought you would refuse at first. I didn’t expect you to actually pay yourself.”
“These are my things, so naturally, I’ll be the one to pay.”
These were all good intentions from Huo Sijiao; she couldn’t be ungrateful.
“Sister-in-law, you really surprised . I almost forgot how you were when you first ca to our house.”
Qiao Xi’s lips curved up, her apricot eyes sparkling with a bright smile, alleviating so of her discomfort.
The sisters-in-law linked arms and walked out, chatting and laughing along the way.
Suddenly, Huo Sijiao’s eyes caught a familiar figure, and she stopped in her tracks.
Qiao Xi also followed her gaze to have a look.
It was Pei Chun!
Beside her was Xie Xubai maintaining a distance, and following them was Assistant Ning, carrying won’s clothes.
Pei Chun’s coquettish voice vaguely reached their ears.
The two were shopping.
Seeing Pei Chun with Xie Xubai was indeed surprising.
“Jiaojiao.”
Qiao Xi gently called out.
“Sister-in-law, why don’t we head ho?” Huo Sijiao turned her head, pretending not to see them.
But Pei Chun was sharp-eyed and wouldn’t let this good opportunity go!
“Huo Sijiao!”
Pei Chun shouted, chasing after them in her high heels.
A smug look appeared on her face, “Why didn’t you say hi when you saw us? After all, we are old acquaintances.”
Huo Sijiao rolled her eyes, “Who’s an old acquaintance with you!”
“Huo Sijiao, are you angry seeing with Xubai? I warn you, stay away from Xubai in the future. The Pei Family and Xie Family are discussing marriage, don’t always think about being a third party. Isn’t the Guan Family’s son-in-law satisfying you?”
Pei Chun remarked sarcastically.
She had sohow found out about the past between Huo Sijiao and Shen Xuanzhi.
The ntion of Shen Xuanzhi made both Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao’s expressions turn cold.
Qiao Xi’s cold voice sounded, “Miss Pei, do you have any evidence for your baseless accusations? Don’t assu others are as vile as you, always eager to jump in.”
“What? Doesn’t Huo Sijiao count as throwing herself at soone? She’s shaless, still lingering around after people are married!”
Huo Sijiao shouted, “Who are you calling shaless!”
“I’m talking about you!”
“Say it again!”
Pei Chun’s voice also grew louder, “Huo Sijiao, I’m saying you’re shaless!”
“You’re even more obedient than my dog, repeating what I say.” Huo Sijiao sneered, “I’m not here to trouble you, but you co pestering ? I should’ve checked the almanac before leaving ho today, running into two filthy things like you!”
First it was Lu Yingxue, then Pei Chun.
The Imperial Capital is really small.
“You dare insult !”
“What? Going to ask your Xubai brother to stand up for you?” Huo Sijiao laughed mockingly.
“Xubai, look at her!”
Pei Chun looked at Xie Xubai with grievance.
Xie Xubai’s expression didn’t change; he rely glanced at his watch.
“I agreed to accompany you shopping for an hour. Ti’s up, you can leave now. Ning Yuan, take Miss Pei back.”
“Xubai!”
Pei Chun’s face turned red with anger, “Don’t forget the Pei Family and Xie Family are to be united by marriage! Otherwise, all of Xie Family’s overseas businesses might be affected.”
Xie Xubai rely smiled politely, the elegant traditional handsoness on his face filled with perfunctory smiles.
Ning Yuan, carrying several branded paper bags, said, “Miss Pei, don’t overdo it. Our President Xie’s temperant is like that, forced lon isn’t sweet. You need to gradually stew the frog in warm water. Xie Family’s business is counting on the Pei Family’s generosity, so let’s stop here for today.”
Despite Pei Chun’s dissatisfaction, Ning Yuan’s words managed to stop her from pushing further.
She simply said, “I have reserved a spot at Manxiang Garden for tomorrow evening. You need to have dinner with , or else I’ll go back and inform the elders.”
This was a notice, not a discussion.
Feeling she regained her face in front of Huo Sijiao and Xie Xubai, Pei Chun finally walked away with her chin up.
“Tch!”
Huo Sijiao let out a disdainful noise.
She recalled last night’s conversation between Xie Xubai and Sun Weing, the Pei Family wanting to divide the Huo Family and the Xie Family, and surely they’d first target Xie Xubai’s marriage.
Coincidentally, the Xie Family matriarch had once declared that if Xie Xubai couldn’t find a wife, he’d marry Pei Chun.
The Xie Family’s principles are strict and straightforward.
Many are waiting to see if the Xie Family would propose to the Pei Family at the start of the new year.
It’s obvious Xie Xubai was forced into accompanying Pei Chun for shopping today.
“Xie Xubai, how did you end up so miserable?” Huo Sijiao turned her face away, asking fiercely, “Pei Chun dares to be so bossy in front of you, treating you like a kept man.”
Xie Xubai replied in an unhurried manner, “The Pei Family even dares to provoke Young Master Zhong. What’s the Xie Family compared to that? Now all they want is a marriage, but in the future, they might even want my life.”
“…”
Huo Sijiao thought there was indeed such a possibility.
“Xie Xubai, don’t you have any plans?”
Xie Xubai raised his eyes to look at her, the faint scent of sandalwood seed to linger around her nose.
“I do.”
