Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Who Is Your Boss?
Du Xiaoxian and Wang Qian looked at each other. Someone bought it for her? Who was it…

Wang Qian hurriedly looked around. There were customers shopping leisurely, but no one seemed suspicious.

Seeing Du Xiaoxian remained silent, the shopping guide handed the paper bag over again, “Miss, this is already yours.”

Du Xiaoxian had never been in such a situation before, so she subconsciously hid behind Wang Qian. Wang Qian asked her in a low voice, “Don’t you know who it is?”

Du Xiaoxian shook her head. Wang Qian asked, “Are you taking it?”

Du Xiaoxian still shook her head. She surely would not take things without knowing who gave it to her.

Wang Qian then asked the shopping guide, “Who bought it? Did he leave a name?”

“It’s a gentleman. He paid and left without saying his name.”

“Then we can’t take it. I’m sorry.” Wang Qian took Du Xiaoxian’s arm and was about to leave.

The shopping guide became anxious and ran in front of them with the paper bag, “Miss, these shoes have been paid for, so we can’t take them back. Please accept them!”

“But we can’t take it either not knowing who had paid for it!” Wang Qian said.

“But…” The shopping guide looked at Du Xiaoxian awkwardly, “That gentleman made it clear that it was for Miss Du! He paid the bill and told us to give it to Miss Du. If Miss Du doesn’t accept it, then…I can’t take it either!”

While Wang Qian was talking to the shopping guide, Du Xiaoxian had been standing behind her, glancing at the shopping guide from time to time. Suddenly, she grabbed Wang Qian’s hand and shouted, “Run!”

Wang Qian did not understand what was going on, so she followed her and ran forward quickly, leaving the dumbstruck shopping guide behind.

It was until they ran up the escalator did Wang Qian asked with heavy breaths, “What was wrong? Who…who did you see?”

“Nobody,” Du Xiaoxian gasped, “I just want to leave her!” Du Xiaoxian was one-track minded. When she couldn’t think of a way to get rid of something, she usually ran!

Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, “Run if you can’t talk it through. This is also a method.”

The two of them leaned against the pillar for a while and began to window-shop on the second floor. The second floor was all exquisite women’s clothing. Wang Qian’s eyes lit up and took Du Xiaoxian in every shop. Strangely, as soon as they entered the shops, the shopping guides inside would bow to them with a smile on their faces and said respectfully, “Hello, Miss Du!”

Du Xiaoxian couldn’t take this the most, so she clutched Wang Qian’s clothes helplessly. She didn’t know why could these people recognize her. Moreover, why were they so respectful to her?!

Wang Qian was a little suspicious, looked at Du Xiaoxian and said, “Xiaoxian, why do I feel that this shopping mall is owned by your family?”

Du Xiaoxian was stunned. She knew that Gu Nianbin had countless money, but she had never heard him say that he owned such a big shopping mall! Du Xiaoxian was puzzled herself and said, “Really?”

Wang Qian said, “Don’t tell me you don’t know yourself?”

Du Xiaoxian shook her head in confusion. Wang Qian thought it made sense, Du Xiaoxian had just come back, so she was not familiar with her family’s properties. It must be like this!

This was the first time Wang Qian had received such treatment in a shopping mall. She felt very happy and looked at Du Xiaoxian with even greater respect! Since there was the young lady accompanying her, Wang Qian simply held her head high and accepted the respect of the shopping guides generously. On the contrary, Du Xiaoxian followed her cowardly. People who didn’t know the truth would think Wang Qian was the Miss Du shopping guides were calling!

At this moment, Wang Qian remembered, “Xiaoxian, if this mall belonged to your family, then what happened just now would be easy to explain. You are the young lady, of course you can take whatever you like at will.”

Du Xiaoxian said, “If it’s owned by my family, then I can’t take it anymore. Shouldn’t I keep it for sale?”

“It’s just a pair of shoes.” Wang Qian pointed to the magnificent decorations, “Your family is too rich to care about a pair of shoes!”

Could this really be the young master’s property? How much does it cost to buy this place? Looking at the dazzling variety of goods, Du Xiaoxian started to become confused. She didn’t dare to imagine that huge number, but she was actually very proud of her young master. She was an extremely simple girl who would show her feelings on the face. Capturing the slight pride on Du Xiaoxian’s face, Wang Qian confirmed her guess.

They window-shopped along the way leisurely before having some juice at the resting zone. Finally they went downstairs after feeling tired. Just as they reached the gate, someone shouted, “Miss Du, please wait a moment!”

Du Xiaoxian turned back holding Wang Qian’s hand and was frightened by a group of pink-uniformed shopping guides. Everyone of them was holding two paper bags, looking at her with bright smiles. Du Xiaoxian was a little scared seeing this, so she couldn’t help but take a step back.

After all, Wang Qian had seen the world before. She pretended to cough calmly and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Our boss told us to wrap up whatever Miss Du has seen and touched and let her take it away.” The lady in the front should be a manager. She looked mature and capable wearing her hair in a bun.

Well, this time, they didn’t act in a deliberately mystifying manner and mentioned their boss directly.

“Who is your boss?” Wang Qian asked carefully. If she guessed right, it must be Du Xiaoxian’s brother.

“The boss doesn’t like to mention his name. He just hoped Miss Du will accept it. Welcome back next time!” As she spoke, she handed the paper bags in her hand to Du Xiaoxian.

How could Du Xiaoxian dare to take them? Just now, a pair of shoes had frightened her. Now… she roughly estimated that there must be at least twenty bags. Even if she really wanted it, she could not take so many things! Du Xiaoxian bit her lips. She remembered what Gu Nianbin had said. His belongings were hers. She had to accept the things he gave her. Otherwise, he would be angry.

Wang Qian whispered to her, “What should we do? Do we accept it or not?”

Du Xiaoxian wanted to discuss with her, “How about…we accept one bag?”

Wang Qian smiled, “It’s up to you. Anyway, they all belonged to your family. Come and get them whenever you want!”

Du Xiaoxian looked at the capable manager and said timidly, “I…I’ll just take one thing!”

“Alright, choose for yourself. I’ll save the rest for you. You can come and get it whenever you want!” The manager said with a smile.

Du Xiaoxian picked the first pair of shoes she had liked and glanced at Wang Qian, “You pick one thing too.”

Most of the things in these paper bags were something Wang Qian had seen and touched, because she had looked and touched them first, Du Xiaoxian would follow her lead. So these things were all picked by Wang Qian. She looked at this and that, feeling that she liked all of them very much. After a long time, she picked a dress happily. The shopping guide went back to take a dress of her size and packed it up again.

The two girls walked out of the mall, each with a bag in hand.

At this time, a young man who had been hiding behind the pillar took out his phone and called someone, “Boss, Du Xiaoxian took a pair of shoes and gave a skirt to her friend. Alright, I know!”

After Du Xiaoxian separated with Wang Qian, she did not call Xiaoding to pick them up because in the bus station nearby, a bus would arrive directly at the downstairs of Gu’s Company. She was still carrying a bus card with her, so she jumped on the bus without thinking.

When she arrived at Gu’s Company, it was almost the end of working time. Zhou Ting was packing her things when she saw her coming in. She smiled and greeted her, “Xiaoxian, wow, what did you buy? Let me see.”

Du Xiaoxian placed it on the table and opened it as if she was offering a treasure, “Does it look good? The young master gave it to me.”

Of course, Du Xiaoxian’s taste couldn’t be compared with the high-end white-collar beauty Secretary Zhou. In Zhou Ting’s eyes, it was just a pair of childish shoes. The single layer of calf leather was very soft and the sole of the shoes was also good. It must be very comfortable, but she really didn’t think it was pretty. However, she couldn’t hurt the little girl, so she smiled and nodded, “Yes, very pretty. Hurry up and go in, the boss is waiting for you!”

Du Xiaoxian put her shoes in the shoe box and the shoe box in the paper bag. Then she smiled and waved at Zhou Ting before entering Gu Nianbin’s office.

Seeing that it was his little girl coming in, President Gu immediately had expression on his poker face. He leaned on the big chair with a vague smile and looked at her, “What good things did you buy?”

His tone contained a hint of mockery, actually the same as Zhou Ting’s. Du Xiaoxian did not recognize Zhou Ting’s tone, but she did recognize her young master’s. She embarrassedly opened it again and showed it to him, “I picked it. Do you think it’s okay?”

Gu Nianbin picked up the shoes, looked at them and smiled, “As long as you like it!” However, he suddenly realized that he hadn’t received the massage reminding him of this cost. He asked curiously, “Didn’t you use the card?”

Du Xiaoxian said, “Yes, they said that you paid for it and asked me to just take it away.”

Gu Nianbin frowned slightly. Thing weren’t simple…

“Which shopping mall did you buy it from?”

Du Xiaoxian was also stunned hearing his question. Could it be that the shopping mall was not owned by the young master? It was not the young master who paid for it? Then… who could it be…

Gu Nianbin knew Du Xiaoxian was scared again seeing her panicked expression. He hurriedly hugged her and said, “It’s fine, just tell me in which shopping mall you bought it.”

“Jinxiu Shopping Mall!”

It was really him. Gu Nianbin thought with contempt, how childish!

“You like these shoes?”

Du Xiaoxian felt that something was wrong and hurriedly said, “I don’t like it very much. It’s fine to return it.”

Gu Nianbin looked at her being so anxious and changed his mind. It was rare for his little girl to pick something she liked herself. He needed to let her keep it, even though those shoes made him feel a little disgusting.

“Keep it if you like.” Gu Nianbin wrapped her loose hair behind her ears. She went out in the morning with a nicely knitted braid and came back with a messy hairstyle at the end of school. Her fluffy little head pressed against his chin, making him itch slightly.

“Didn’t you buy it?” Du Xiaoxian was silent for a moment before raising her small face to ask.

Looking at her clear eyes, Gu Nianbin didn’t want to hide anything from her. He shook his head and said, “No, but you can keep it.”

“You know who it is, don’t you?” Du Xiaoxian could also think. Gu Nianbin did not like her to take anything from others, but he let her keep it. This meant that he must know who that person was.

“Yes.” Gu Nianbin said, “I’ll give him the money. Consider it a gift from me, you don’t have to worry about anything.”

Du Xiaoxian looked at him and asked carefully, “Will you be unhappy?”

“Of course not,” Gu Nianbin smiled and pinched her face. He couldn’t help kissing her smooth face again, “As long as you like it, I won’t be angry. Besides, I’ll give him the money. You can think that I bought it.”

Alright, Du Xiaoxian agreed with him. Anyway, the young master will pay back the money, so she can accept it at ease.

“Also…” She rubbed her hands embarrassedly, “I gave a skirt to my classmate. She likes it very much.”

“OK, I’ll pay for the skirt, too.”

Du Xiaoxian finally stopped hesitating and rubbed against his chest, expressing her gratitude in a coyly manner.
