Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 624 - 221 - An Encounter with Qi Siyu, Advice from a Best Friend_4

She had gone through those deleted forum posts in detail many times and knew that Li Yuan and the two golden flowers of the Finance Academy had very intimate relationships and even gifted them sports cars...

"Uh, hello!"

Liang Jingjing looked at Li Yuan and Qi Siyu with suspicion, her brows furrowing slightly. Her intuition was telling her that something was off. Especially considering that in the past few days, Qi Siyu had been distracted, as if she had lost her soul... In an instant, her inner gossip soul blazed with fervor...

Li Yuan asked, "Mrs. Qi, are you out shopping too?"

Qi Siyu gave a noncommittal "Hmm" and said nothing else, her gaze occasionally flickering over to Zhong Tingyue, who was holding hands with Li Yuan, deep in thought.

Seeing Qi Siyu’s indifferent attitude, Li Yuan felt somewhat perplexed. The sexy woman in front of him had been sending messages to ask what he was up to earlier in the evening. However, at that time, he had been accompanying Zhong Tingyue to a concert and hadn’t replied. He never expected to run into her while shopping, especially since it was already ten at night.

Life is full of coincidences.

At that moment, a female sales associate approached and asked, "Handsome, how do you find the fit of the clothes you tried on?"

Li Yuan nodded absentmindedly. "Not bad, wrap it up for me."

"Sure, handsome!"

The sales associate smiled and then turned to Zhong Tingyue, continuing her inquiry, "Beautiful, this bag is the last one in our store. If you like it, you should act quickly."

It was then that Li Yuan noticed the light beige bag draped over Zhong Tingyue’s shoulder.

"Little Moon, do you like this bag?"

Zhong Tingyue looked at Li Yuan, her expression hesitant. This bag is priced at 28,800 yuan... that’s far too expensive! A single handbag costs as much as several years of living expenses for most college students.

Before she could speak up to refuse, Li Yuan saw the hesitation in her eyes and understood.

She likes this bag.

With a grand wave of his hand, Li Yuan declared to the Hermès sales associate, "We’ll take this bag as well."

The sales associate was overjoyed and quickly replied with a smile, "Okay, handsome, I’ll get it wrapped up for you right away."

When Zhong Tingyue saw that Li Yuan had decided to buy it without even asking the price, she hurriedly protested, "Senior, it’s too expensive. I’d like to look at some others first..."

Before she could finish, Li Yuan interrupted her with a smile. "No problem. If you see anything else you like, we’ll just buy it all."

Hearing Li Yuan’s tyrannical words, Zhong Tingyue stopped speaking. She rolled her eyes at him, but they were filled with happiness.

Words that domineering actually make me feel so secure!

Seeing Li Yuan buy a limited-edition Hermès bag without even asking the price left Liang Jingjing dumbstruck. She was rooted to the spot, little stars shining in her eyes.

She nudged the still-dazed Qi Siyu and whispered, "Siyu, this student of yours is quite the tyrant, huh? A bag worth tens of thousands, and he buys it just like that."

Seeing that Qi Siyu still didn’t respond, Liang Jingjing leaned in and teased in a voice only they could hear, "Siyu, how about you make a little sacrifice? Use your feminine wiles and conquer this tyrant of a student?"

Qi Siyu’s cheeks reddened, her heart pounding fiercely as she glared harshly at Liang Jingjing.

Then, she glanced at Li Yuan, who was now checking out. "Jingjing, I’m tired of shopping," she said, a hint of disappointment in her voice. "Let’s go home."

Liang Jingjing was momentarily taken aback. She pointed at Li Yuan and asked with confusion, "Siyu, you’re his teacher. Aren’t you going to say goodbye to your student?"

Qi Siyu glanced at Li Yuan’s back and shook her head. "No, let’s just go."

Without waiting for Liang Jingjing to react, she turned and walked straight toward the exit.

Watching Qi Siyu’s unusual behavior, Liang Jingjing muttered, How strange! and quickly followed her out.

...

At the checkout counter, the sales associate finished packing the casual jacket and the bag. She smiled and asked, "Handsome, your total comes to 33,688 yuan. How would you like to pay?"

With a glance from the corner of his eye, Li Yuan saw that Qi Siyu was no longer in the store. He then discreetly took out his bank card.

"Card."

...

「On the way back」

Zhong Tingyue teased, "Senior, that Mrs. Qi we ran into today is really pretty and has such a great aura. What subject does she teach?"

Li Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. Is this her woman’s intuition kicking in?

"She’s our class advisor, but I’m not quite sure what subject she teaches."

"Oh," Zhong Tingyue replied, her tone light but full of meaning. Mrs. Qi’s reaction to seeing Li Yuan in the store was strange. That’s not how a normal teacher acts when they run into a student...

Li Yuan’s heart began to race. Could Little Moon have figured something out?

"Little Moon, it’s past ten. Do you want to see a movie, or should we head home?"
