Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1341 - 1321: The Prototype of the Cross-Realm Tour Group (Part 3)
...Elvis looked utterly perplexed. Did he really seem like a villain trying to kidnap kids? Didn’t he look like a refined young gentleman? Why were they so guarded around him? Did they have any idea how hurt he was?
"An Hao, Brother Feng is worried you might be too heavy for Sister, and she’s afraid of getting tired, not that he’s trying to take you away." Luo Qianqian explained with a smile to An Hao in a soft voice, "How about you walk on your own, and Sister will hold your hand? Then you can buy whatever you want."
"Okay." Once An Hao understood the situation, he quickly put away his grievances and gave Elvis a sweet smile to express his apologies.
"An Hao is quite attached to me, even my brother can’t do anything about it." Luo Qianqian explained to Elvis.
Elvis still looked gloomy, "I thought I hadn’t been resting well recently and my looks had deteriorated." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The group began their shopping on the sixth floor. The seventh floor was where the food was, but it wasn’t open, and they planned to have lunch at Shangqi anyway, so they didn’t intend to eat at the mall.
Whenever He Wenyu saw an appealing outfit, he would just buy it, never forgetting to get a couple more for those who hadn’t returned. The shop assistants finally understood why the place was reserved for the day – it was all about looks!
Even Little Luo of Huaxia was there, acting as the bag carrier, which hinted at this group’s identity.
However, no one dared to approach them. Before opening for business today, the entire mall announced that only one sales assistant could stay in each store, and they were forbidden from taking photos, chatting, or gawking. Any violation could lead to dismissal.
Consequently, everyone’s phones were taken away, even those used for business in the stores were collected without hesitation.
"Nine Heavens Pavilion?" He Wenyu exclaimed in surprise at the jewelry store in front of him, blinking and incredulously staring at the sign.
Elvis approached him with a smile, "This is a newly opened branch, not open to the public yet. Since you’re here, Qhianqhian, don’t be stingy and leave behind a fifty or seventy piece of raw stone."
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes. Fifty or seventy? Did they think she owned a mine?
Also, her inventory was with Second Uncle. She did have some, but they were left by Xuan Ming for his apprentice, not for her to do business.
"How about I leave you here and sell you?" She gave a big eye roll and wandered inside for a couple of laps, "This is all Senior Apprentice Brother’s stock? It hasn’t sold out yet?"
"You think this stuff is cabbage? Who would buy a pile to take home?" Elvis looked at Luo Qianqian with exasperation. A few pieces are more than enough; it’s not like they’re opening a museum.
"Not as pretty as mine," An Hao calmly pulled out the jade from around his neck, compared it, and lost interest.
Elvis took one glance and felt like spitting blood.
Qhianqhian, do you have to be so extravagant? You even let a kid wear such a thing casually?
"Once everything’s sorted out, I’ll go procure some and try to sell them for now," Luo Qianqian shrugged and walked out of the store.
Yan, however, seemed to be lost in thought. Nine Heavens Pavilion, from the conversation between those two, this place was also Luo Qianqian’s enterprise, then did it mean... that he could probably help a bit too?
He quietly followed the group without lingering to do anything.
"This one, this one, Shiqi, I want this," Yann Yao exclaimed, hugging a giant teddy bear. Earlier, he watched An Hao carrying a small one around with longing, but no matter how much he asked, An Hao wouldn’t share... so stingy. Now he wanted to buy a big one.
Luo Qianqian was speechless, swiping the card.
Hugging the giant bear, Yann Yao felt great comfort in it.
The fuzzy texture and soft material were indeed very cozy to hold, no wonder kids liked them.
"Brother... don’t embarrass yourself," Huangfu Yihui twitched at the corners of his mouth, turning his head away, unable to bear watching.
But soon enough...
"Shiqi... I..." Huangfu Yihui hesitated as he couldn’t move his feet in front of the musical instruments...
Luo Qianqian twitched at the corners of her mouth, "What do you want? I’ll have it sent to your house later, just don’t shock people..." Bagging things directly would be too scandalous.
Even though no one’s taking photos, scaring others isn’t a good idea.
Understanding the hint in Luo Qianqian’s words, Huangfu Yihui nodded and casually pointed at a few violins and clarinets before stopping.
Luo Qianqian continued swiping the card.
An Hao, however, refused to leave the women’s section, "Sister, sister, you should buy something too... that dress is pretty..."
But... An Hao, that’s a wedding dress...
"That one, your sister is not old enough for it yet, it’s still early, and this store doesn’t allow you in without the other half..."
But with a thoughtful turn, she whispered a couple of words to Elvis, who nodded in understanding.
After a lap around, Yann Yao bought a freezer full of ice creams, including the freezer itself.
Huangfu Yihui bought several plants and flowers.
Yan and Mo swept through the herbal medicine section, also picking up some magazines and books.
An Hao bought three carts of snacks and many toys and small dresses for Luo Qianqian.
He Wenyu mostly bought clothes, but she got something for everyone close to her and didn’t forget to stock up on baby products, showcasing her meticulousness.
Luo Qianqian, being a bit different, calmly bought a watch because her brother’s watch broke.
Then she also bought one of the same brand for Luo Xinyue, though considerably more expensive.
Completely absent of self-awareness for spending someone else’s money on gifts.
Elvis was also particularly responsible, explaining to the four bewildered men about what everything was and its uses while not preventing Yan from buying two light bulbs to take home for research.
As far as he knew, there was no electricity over there, and even if there was, it was limited to Nine Heavens Pavilion.
There wasn’t any use for it.
Mo, who always claimed to have seen the world, persistently pestered Elvis to teach him how to drive.
What can’t be talked about? In the face of one’s interests, all pretenses become ineffective.
Luo Qianqian just wouldn’t let Mo take the wheel, but looking and learning a bit was okay.
"I have this urge," Luo Qianqian whispered to He Wenyu.
"What?" He Wenyu, watching Luo Qianqian’s eyes sparkling, instantly piqued her curiosity.
"To take them to play bumper cars or go-karts." Luo Qianqian mentioned, pouting. Real cars were out of the question, but those should be alright.
"Why not..." He Wenyu’s eyes lit up, flashing a mischievous grin.
The two began to chuckle quietly, showing their cunning nature.
Their voices, though, were clear to the ears of some nearby, who were at a loss, wondering what kind of horse a carousel horse was, did it run? Was the amusement park a garden?
But seeing the two girls in high spirits, they decided not to interrupt and figured they’d find out soon enough, whether it was a bit earlier or later.
At Shangqi Club, not only were the five inexperienced ones amazed, but even Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu found themselves surprised.
Why did it seem so much more luxurious after just a few days away?
Entering her private room, Luo Qianqian coughed violently, wondering why her health lock had been swapped with a fingerprint lock? And didn’t the main door look a bit too advanced?
As the door opened, Luo Xinyue smiled, gesturing for them to enter.
This time, the remaining four couldn’t stop coughing.
Why did everything in the room feel so familiar?
Luo Qianqian was also speechless, wondering if Dad couldn’t eat when looking at these...?
