Dajun exclaimed, “Damn! Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for a guy!”
Li Yifei reassured him, “Absolutely not. Young master here still prefers long-haired, big-eyed, fair-skinned, beautiful, gentle, and easily approachable girls.” He tossed a peanut into his mouth. “But this woman is quite interesting!”
When Li Yifei returned home after attending the wedding, Qian Fei was in her room browsing Taobao.
Seeing him come back, Qian Fei waved excitedly through the open door, “Come here quickly!”
Li Yifei, while changing his shoes, joked with her: “Why don’t you wave a handkerchief?”
It took Qian Fei a moment to understand what he meant, and then she immediately glared at him, “Get lost! Even if I had a handkerchief, I wouldn’t wave it at you! I’d wave it at rich old men!”
Li Yifei walked towards her room, mocking her: “You’re not like our company’s receptionist, are you? Reading too many CEO novels and dreaming of marrying our CEO every day?”
Qian Fei looked at him seriously, wagging her finger, “No! Compared to the CEO, I prefer the factory manager! Down-to-earth!”
Li Yifei stood in front of her, “What kind of taste is that?” Then he asked, “What did you call me for?”
Qian Fei immediately got excited again, pointing at the computer and saying: “Look! It’s the same as your gold button shirt, the same! It’s only 100 yuan, with free shipping! I’ve already ordered it. I’m a person of my word, when I say I’ll replace your shirt, I definitely won’t pretend to forget! Your little friends don’t have to worry about your shirt not having gold buttons anymore!”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Yifei with a grinning face, seeking praise. Li Yifei’s expression gradually twisted in response to her glaring smile.
He took a deep breath and pointed at the clothes on Taobao, “How can I wear such cheap clothes?”
Qian Fei’s smile disappeared, “Damn! Li Yifei, will you die if you don’t pretend? It’s over a hundred yuan and you call it cheap? How wasteful are you usually? Can’t you save some money to buy a house and move out? Even if you can’t afford a big one, buy a small one first!”
Li Yifei gave her a look and calmly said, “I only buy villas.”
Qian Fei couldn’t help but spit at him: “I think you should buy some medicine first! Your young master’s disease needs money to cure!”
Qian Fei’s savior complex flared up, and she tried her best to convince Li Yifei that saving money was more important in life than showing off. The main way to save money was to start by not going to shopping malls and instead buying what you need online.
She moved a chair from the living room and forced Li Yifei to sit next to her, using semi-coercive means to make him face her computer. Then she taught him how to use Taobao step by step. Whenever he turned his head slightly impatiently, she would ask, “Do you not want dinner tonight or do you want to continue washing dishes?”
Li Yifei would then purse his lips and coldly snort at her, “Taking advantage of your position,” and then reluctantly turn back to face her computer.
After teaching the entire online shopping process, Qian Fei told Li Yifei: “This is just the beginning. Because we don’t know each other well yet, you might still be resistant to my great Taobao, but you should trust me. Given time, you’ll love it as much as you love money! You won’t have to spend a fortune buying your high-end replicas like a sucker anymore. Taobao can satisfy all your pretentious and vain requirements at the lowest price!”
Li Yifei scoffed at her, “Did you sell Amway before working in investment banking?”
He got up and left without hesitation.
Although he left decisively, when the Taobao-made gold button shirt arrived at home two days later, his expression changed.
“Damn, except for the gold-plated buttons, it’s almost indistinguishable from mine! What kind of workshop made this? It’s incredible! How can a fake be so real? Don’t the police care about this?”
Qian Fei couldn’t stop groaning beside him: “As if yours isn’t a replica. If the police were to arrest anyone, they’d arrest your supplier first!”
In the following days, Qian Fei noticed that the number of express deliveries at home kept increasing…
They were all clothes bought by Li Yifei!
She was a bit overwhelmed.
From then on, Li Yifei changed into new clothes every day, going to work all dressed up.
He was already good-looking, and with that shameless confidence of “I’m the most handsome in the world,” he captivated several girls at the hotel.
One day, Qian Fei finally couldn’t help but ask: “Young Master Li, wasn’t it you who said Taobao clothes were too cheap to wear? Now why are you buying them endlessly? Can’t you have a firm stance and consistent integrity as a person?”
Li Yifei raised his eyebrows and said to her: “The clothes are a bit rough, but there’s no helping it. Who told the young master that I was born with a good figure? I look handsome in anything, stylish no matter what I wear!” In the end, he even ran his hand through his hair and squinted at her coolly, “Do you know what it means to be too handsome to have friends? That’s me!”
Qian Fei looked at him and almost threw up.
In the morning on the way to work, in the subway, Qian Fei originally wanted to tentatively talk to Li Yifei about finding another place to live and moving out. But she received a WeChat message from Hu Zining. She forgot about it after reading the message.
Hu Zining told her that he had returned from his business trip and asked if she had time for dinner that evening. He also said he missed her.
Qian Fei replied okay.
After replying, she looked up and saw Li Yifei lowering his head to look at his phone.
She was a bit displeased, “Why are you looking at me!”
Li Yifei didn’t answer directly, “Then what am I going to eat for dinner?”
Qian Fei rolled her eyes at him, “We’ve barely started living together and you’re already dependent on me? At this rate, when you move out someday, won’t you starve to death?”
Li Yifei looked at her and said, “Why don’t you take me along for dinner tonight? I can help you see if he misses you or not!”
Qian Fei almost choked, “I suspect you’ve fallen for my boyfriend! Go home and make instant noodles yourself!”
Li Yifei glanced at her sideways for a while but didn’t say anything.
During dinner that evening, Qian Fei felt something was a bit off between her and Hu Zining. She thought it might be because they hadn’t seen each other for many days.
Hu Zining seemed quite happy though, saying he went to Malaysia and brought back a small gift for her.
Qian Fei opened the gift, it was a pretty sweater chain with the design of the Petronas Twin Towers. But when she looked closely, she found “Made in China” engraved on the bottom of the back of the twin towers.
She didn’t think much of it at the moment, found it quite interesting, and laughed while pointing it out to Hu Zining, “My colleague once said that China has taken over the world’s small commodity market, and I didn’t believe it. Now I do! This is a perfect example of going abroad and selling back to China!”
She couldn’t help but laugh after saying this, but when she looked up, she saw Hu Zining’s face looking very unpleasant.
It was as if something snapped in her head, that thick nerve broke…
Hu Zining looked at her and asked, “Feifei, do you suspect that I bought this in China?”
Qian Fei hurriedly explained: “Zining, don’t overthink it. I didn’t mean anything else, I just thought it was funny that it was made in China and sold back here!” To dispel Hu Zining’s doubts, she directly put the chain around her neck and asked, “How does it look?”
