With Long iqing leading the way, the two of them entered the shopping mall.
A brand-na suit and clothing specialty store.
Long iqing helped Qin Yang select a suit, dress pants, white shirt, and even carefully matched him with a blue tie.
"Why are we wearing a suit in the middle of Great Xia's sumr?"
Qin Yang was a bit stunned. Currently, he was wearing a white short-sleeve shirt. Being dragged by this feisty girl to buy a suit really felt a bit awkward.
"Go on, try it on."
Without waiting for his reaction, Long iqing pushed Qin Yang into the fitting room.
Qin Yang had no choice but to go in and put the suit on.
"Wow, Miss, your boyfriend has such a great physique. He's practically a live clothes hanger."
"This suit fits so perfectly."
"Sir, your girlfriend has excellent taste."
"..."
Two sales associates' eyes lit up when they saw Qin Yang co out, and they couldn't help but shower him with praise.
Qin Yang was already quite tall, and his aura as a Cultivator was even more attractive. Now, with a sharp suit on, his charm was even more pronounced.
"Hehe."
Long iqing chuckled softly and nodded in agreent. This guy really was quite attractive in a suit.
Afterwards, Qin Yang and Long iqing wandered around the mall for a bit longer, buying a ton of clothes and finally leaving. Among these clothes were an evening gown and high heels specially selected for Long iqing.
"Alright, now can you tell
what we're going to do with all these clothes?"
Qin Yang looked at Long iqing with a bit of confusion and asked.
Under Qin Yang's gaze, Long iqing blushed slightly, looking a bit unnatural.
"Why are you suddenly shy?"
Qin Yang's expression was a bit peculiar.
"Who said I'm shy? There are two things. First, I want you to help
choose a gift. The day after tomorrow is my grandpa's 80th birthday. What do you think I should give him as a birthday gift?"
Long iqing glared at Qin Yang for a mont before explaining.
"Is that all? What does your grandpa usually like?"
Qin Yang thought for a mont and asked.
"Grandpa usually has a fondness for jade artifacts and calligraphy. I also thought about getting him an antique jade artifact or a piece of famous calligraphy, but I don't really understand these things. It would be bad if I bought a fake."
Long iqing said, knowing that on her grandpa's big birthday, there would definitely be a lot of people present. If she gave him a fake gift, it would be embarrassing.
"If he likes jade artifacts, then he must also like jadeite, right?"
Qin Yang asked, as jadeite is a type of hard jade.
"Yes, grandpa really likes jadeite. He even has an erald jadeite thumb ring."
Long iqing nodded, saying.
Her grandpa used to be a businessman who amassed a great fortune, one of the first to get rich. Later, he transitioned from business to politics, becoming an outstanding figure and a legendary character in his lifeti.
"If he likes jadeite, then that's easy. Leave it to . What about the second thing?"
Qin Yang said.
"The second thing is, I want to ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a few days."
Long iqing's face turned slightly red as she revealed the second matter.
"What? Pretend to be your boyfriend for a few days?"
Qin Yang was montarily taken aback, clearly not expecting Long iqing to make such a request.
"Why do you need
to pretend to be your boyfriend?"
Qin Yang raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Well, it's like this. Our Long family and the Zhou family have been family friends for generations. The Zhou family has a son nad Zhou Wenyu. He's just returned from studying abroad, and my family wants to set us up. But I've always thought of him as a brother and never had those kinds of feelings. Yesterday, I had no choice but to tell my family I have a boyfriend."
Long iqing said sowhat helplessly.
"And then what happened?"
A slight smile played on Qin Yang's lips as he asked.
"Then grandpa heard about it too and wants
to bring him to the birthday celebration. Plus, Brother Wenyu wants to et him."
A wry smile appeared on Long iqing's lips as she said.
"So that's why you found ?"
Qin Yang asked with amusent.
"You'll help , won't you?"
Long iqing's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she looked at Qin Yang.
"I..."
A smile tugged at Qin Yang's lips as he deliberately paused for a long mont. His eyes road around Long iqing, making her feel a bit uneasy, almost tempted to punch him. Only then did Qin Yang slowly say, "Alright, I'll reluctantly agree."
"But, let's get one thing straight. We're only allowed to hold hands in front of elders; anything more intimate is a no-go. I have a girlfriend."
Qin Yang shrugged and said.
On hearing this, Long iqing had a long black line on her forehead, gritting her teeth as she replied word-by-word, "No kissing or touching, at most, we can only hold hands in front of elders."
"Oh, I see. Well, that's a relief."
Qin Yang nodded, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and said with a smile.
Long iqing rolled her eyes at Qin Yang, thinking to herself that if anyone was at a disadvantage here, it would definitely be her rather than him.
"Where to now?"
Qin Yang asked.
"Let's go eat. I'll take you to et Brother Zhou."
Long iqing spoke with a hint of helplessness at the corners of her mouth.
Coming to the Capital City, one mustn't miss the roast duck.
The roast duck at Celestial Cauldron Pavilion is famous throughout Huaxia; duck tongues, duck feet, duck liver, duck soup, nearly every part of the duck is utilized to perfection.
Qin Yang drove the Bugatti, carrying Long iqing, and parked in the Celestial Cauldron Pavilion's parking lot.
It was just noon, the ti when many people were having lunch.
When Qin Yang and Long iqing walked into the lobby, the elegantly decorated hall was fully seated, with many custors drinking tea on the side, waiting for others to leave their tables, highlighting the restaurant's popularity.
"Qin Yang, let's go to the second floor, they've reserved a spot."
Long iqing said.
Qin Yang and Long iqing went up to the second floor, where a table for six by the window had two n and one woman sitting there.
Among the two n, one looked quite handso, his tie neatly done, looking like a top overseas returnee student, while the other still had a trace of youthfulness, probably only fourteen or fifteen years old.
As for the girl, she had short hair and sweet dimples at the corners of her mouth, looking vibrant and beautiful.
"iqing, you've finally arrived."
The short-haired girl's eyes lit up upon seeing Long iqing, and she stood up, greeting with a grin.
"Xiaojia."
Long iqing also had a smile on her face as she called the short-haired girl's na.
"And who is this...? iqing, aren't you going to introduce us?"
The short-haired girl wasn't bashful and curiously eyed Qin Yang.
"Let
introduce, this is Huang Xiaojia, my best friend." Long iqing gestured towards the short-haired girl, saying.
"Hello, handso."
Huang Xiaojia waved with a smile to Qin Yang.
"This is Liang Ziming, my cousin."
Long iqing moved her hand towards the fifteen-year-old boy.
"Are you my cousin-in-law? You're okay looking, but, cousin, I really think brother Wenyu suits you better."
Liang Ziming adjusted his glasses and said.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Long iqing gave Liang Ziming a glare.
"This is..."
Long iqing moved her hand towards the overseas-returned youth, continuing to introduce.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Wenyu, a Harvard dical Doctor."
Zhou Wenyu stared at Qin Yang, a flicker of fire seemingly flashing in his eyes, clearly holding no small hostility towards Qin Yang, before calmly extending his hand to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang found it amusing, this guy already saw him as a rival, even bringing up his doctorate to pressure himself.
However, he didn't realize, in Qin Yang's eyes, his doctorate was nothing.
Qin Yang smiled slightly, extending a hand, lightly placing it on Zhou Wenyu's hand, while his left hand wrapped around Long iqing's waist. Qin Yang could feel Long iqing's body stiffen for a mont, but she didn't push him away.
"Hello, I'm Qin Yang, iqing's boyfriend."
Qin Yang said with a smile, stating the most impactful identity.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenyu's mouth twitched noticeably. Seeing Qin Yang's hand still around Long iqing's waist, his mouth twitched again.
At this ti, Long iqing also felt a bit helpless inside, this guy, they agreed at most only to hold hands.
"Alright, let's sit down."
Long iqing said with a smile.
Then, Huang Xiaojia, Long iqing, and Qin Yang sat on one side of the six-person table, while Zhou Wenyu and Liang Ziming sat on the other side.
The nearby waitress had a very good service attitude, distributing five nus to the five people.
"Let's have a spiced braised duck, iqing, this is your favorite. I still rember the first ti you ate it as a child, you got sauce all over your mouth. Oh, and this golden duck roll, you love it too."
Zhou Wenyu said with a smile, first ordering two dishes, then looking at Qin Yang intentionally, implying how close he was with Long iqing.
"Brother Wenyu, I want foie gras."
Liang Ziming said.
"Alright, let's have red fruit foie gras, and a pan-seared foie gras too."
Zhou Wenyu smiled gracefully.
"Xiaojia, what about you?"
"I want duck breast with winter bamboo shoots, sothing light," Huang Xiaojia said with a smile.
"Brother Qin, what about you?"
Zhou Wenyu looked at Qin Yang, clearly taking on the role of the host, trying to make Qin Yang retreat through an air of superiority and difference in status.
"Hehe, everything looks good, but ordering one by one is too much trouble, let's have all the hot dishes, shall we?"
Qin Yang chuckled, seeming like a tycoon, said.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenyu's mouth twitched. This country bumpkin has clearly never seen the world before. There are seventy or eighty hot dishes, ordering so many isn't he afraid of bursting, as iqing doesn't like waste.
"In these years, the problem of waste dostically can't be ignored, in the United States, very few leave food behind, everyone orders only as much as they can eat."
Zhou Wenyu glanced at Qin Yang, chuckling as he spoke, implying that since Qin Yang ordered, he would have to finish it all.
"Qin Yang, isn't this a bit too much?"
Long iqing looked at Qin Yang.
"iqing, you forgot, I can really eat. Don't you rember that ti at the little hotel, I ate several baskets of buns while you only ate one? You're so slim, you should eat more. You can eat whichever one you like."
Qin Yang said with a smile to Long iqing.
Since I want this guy to give up his hopes, why not do it thoroughly? Don't bla , I just don't like the look of you either.
