Her first reaction was to shake her head and reply, “Of course not!”
The pretty shop owner looked at her as if she understood her from just that reply alone.
“Very well, you’re a girl who is clear with what she wants.”
Friends were friends and boyfriends were boyfriends. There could not be any confusion.
The pretty shop owner walked to the sofa by the side, picked up a beautiful bag, and handed it over to her.
“Do you want to take a look? If it’s not to your satisfaction, we can still alter it. Of course, I have confidence that everyone who es to my store will be happy with what they buy.”
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. She liked her confidence.
She nodded. “Of course, I also believe in your craftsmanship, so I’m not going to check it. I’m sure there won’t be a problem.”
“What’s most important is that your boyfriend likes it. Tell me how it goes when he sees it.” The pretty shop owner had a suggestive smile on her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled back without giving a reply.
“Oh yeah, Madam, why are you in a hotel?” she asked curiously, changing the subject.
After taking a quick look around this presidential suite, she could tell that the occupant had stayed here for some time already.
At first, she didn’t want to e in because she was afraid she might interrupt the pretty shop owner’s date with her lover.
The pretty shop owner laughed, as if she knew what she was thinking. She sighed and said, “I also wish I could have a handsome man here. Unfortunately, I don’t have much luck with dates recently. Well, to be frank, I live here. I’m used to staying in hotels.”
“You live here? In a hotel?” Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised as this was the first time she heard about something like this.
The pretty shop owner said, “Yeah, staying in a hotel is great. You have people who serve you, so you don’t worry about anything.”
This was a five-star presidential suite which provided the guest with a butler who would wait on them.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused and said, “But… A hotel is after all still a hotel. It doesn’t have the warmth of a home. It’s still far from what one can call home, isn’t it?”
“I don’t have a family,” said the pretty shop owner with a smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She quickly apologized, “Sorry, I…”
The pretty shop owner waved her hand. “It’s fine. I’m used to it. It’s not a big deal to have no family. I’m quite content living alone.”
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t think she should continue speaking as she was afraid she would speak out of line again.
“Madam, I’ll be going. Thank you.” she bowed to the pretty shop owner as she carried the bag.
The pretty shop owner held her hand as they walked out of the room and said, “If you’re bored, you can e here and visit me. You’re very wele here. You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me.”
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, “Alright, I’ll get going then.”
“Yeah.” The pretty shop owner walked her and Jun Zeye to the door, giving a warm smile as she urged them, “Be careful on the way back.”
“Bye Madam,” Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Jun Zeye reached out his hand, motioning to her that he was going to carry the bag for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, “No thanks, I’ll hold it myself.”
After all, she thought it would be weird to let him hold onto a bag filled with those kinds of clothes.
She held onto the bag tightly.
The pretty shop owner watched them before slowly closing the door.
