Capítulo 38: A Clear Conscience
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Xie Xun heard this, his deep eyes flickered for a moment. "Are you sure you want me to go with you?"
"What's wrong? You can't?"
Xie Xun's deep gaze fell on Qin Zheng's face. Every time Xie Xun looked at her seriously, Qin Zheng would feel an unspeakable nervousness. Even her breathing became lighter and her whole body tensed up. Qin Zheng blamed her strange behavior on being too nervous in front of Xie Xun.
"I don't mind. But you..." Xie Xun looked at her with an unclear meaning. "Aren't you afraid of losing your status and being laughed at?"
"No, I'm just having a boyfriend. Why would I lose my status? What right do they have to laugh at me? If they want to laugh at me, they're laughing at me for finding a scumbag like Lu Yixuan to be my fiancé."
Qin Zheng pursed her lips. It was not that she did not understand what Xie Xun meant. She raised her head and looked at Xie Xun. "If we really get together in the future, as long as you don't cheat on me, I will never feel that I've lowered myself. My life and my judgment of people are not something that the outside world can judge and decide, so you don't have to worry about that."
Xie Xun did not show any emotion after hearing that. He asked plainly, "What if we don't get together?"
Regarding this question... Qin Zheng was even more open-minded. "Let's leave the future to the future. There's no use worrying about it now. No one knows which of the future and accidents will happen first. Perhaps we won't be together, but there's still a possibility that we can be together. The road is paved by people. As long as we work hard, I won't feel guilty no matter what the result is."
Xie Xun looked at Qin Zheng and didn't say anything else.
Qin Zheng asked tentatively, "Then... can we go?"
Xie Xun nodded in agreement.
Qin Zheng was very happy. She felt that her relationship with Xie Xun had taken a step forward. This was a good start. Xie Xun was willing to be her male companion now, so was he still far from being willing to be her boyfriend?
The two of them came to a high-end men's clothing store. This was the most upscale clothing store in A City, and the clothes inside had only one word -- expensive!
How expensive was it? Ordinary wealthy and noble families simply couldn't afford it. Only the truly top noble families dared to choose this place. Although the things here were very expensive, the clothes here were well-made, and the craftsmanship was exquisite. It was definitely not an ordinary item. As the saying goes, expensive means quality. Therefore, this shop was very popular among the aristocrats.
Xie Xun's footsteps paused slightly when he saw the name of this shop. Qin Zheng sensed it and turned her head to ask, "What's wrong?"
Xie Xun slowly withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "Why do you want to come to this shop?"
"Of course, it's because the things here are the best." Qin Zheng looked at Xie Xun. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xie Xun shook his head.
After the two of them walked into the clothing store, the enthusiastic salesperson quickly came up to them. "Miss Qin, this gentleman, is there anything I can help you with?"
As the eldest daughter of the Qin family, Qin Zheng everyone naturally knew her. "We need to choose a few sets of men's attire for the banquet."
The salesperson said respectfully, "Okay, this way please."
Most of the men's attire was suits. When they walked to the men's area, Qin Zheng felt that all of them were good. Xie Xun was handsome and had a noble temperament. He even had a perfect body like a male model. For a person like him... even if he walked through the roadside stalls and picked something, it would still look like high-end attire.
Qin Zheng had never been patient when it came to buying clothes, but at this moment, she had turned into a shopaholic and was frantically buying clothes. The cheapest clothes here were all in the seven digits. Qin Zheng had chosen some expensive ones. The salesperson looked at Qin Zheng in horror. She couldn't help but gossip. "What's the background of the man beside Miss Qin? Why did he let Miss Qin buy things for him like this?"
"I heard that Miss Qin fell in love with a bartender some time ago, but the man beside her doesn't look like a bartender. Could it be that Miss Qin has a new favorite? As expected, the rich and powerful have deep waters. They change men whenever they want."
"What? Miss Qin didn't change men. The man beside her is that bartender. I've seen him at the Raging Flame Bar."
"No way?" One of the salespersons sucked in a breath of cold air. "He's a bartender?! With this height and temperament, he doesn't look like the kind of gigolo who lives off his mistress!"
"You don't understand, do you? Miss Qin is a top-notch fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful woman. How could the person she fell in love with have a bad temperament? Moreover, this kind of cold and aloof demeanor is popular now. It's not hard to pretend to be cold and aloof. Just don't smile. But whether I should say it or not, this man's face is really good-looking. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's the best of the best."
