Chapter 14: Chapter 14: It Will Scare You to Death
Qin Cheng was baffled by Fu Si’s confidence, “Mr. Fu, you’ve only met her once, right…?”
Even a genius bordering on abnormal couldn’t fully understand someone after just one meeting, could they?
However, before he could finish speaking, a delicate and aloof figure walked in from outside the door.
Qin Cheng’s eyes instantly widened in shock.
No way, she actually came?
As soon as Chi Gui entered, she saw a handsome guy standing at the door, staring at her with an expression as if he’d seen a ghost.
She then spotted Fu Si sitting behind the counter.
The man held a mobile phone in one hand; his fingers were long and his knuckles distinct, quite attractive. His features were exquisite and noble, and beneath the gold-rimmed glasses, those phoenix eyes were even darker than the night sky.
A simple white shirt on him seemed to carry an additional layer of nobility.
Upon seeing Chi Gui, the corners of his attractive lips curled slightly, and with an undertone of teasing in his deep and pleasant voice, he said, “We meet again. It seems we really are fated.”
Chi Gui: “Are you the owner of this store?”
That explained the unconventional discounts.
Fu Si was known in the Capital City for being inscrutable, so nothing he did was surprising.
Even if it seemed foolish, there likely was a deeper meaning.
Chi Gui didn’t care about his intentions; she was only interested in the price: “Is everything on sale for 50% off?”
Fu Si chuckled lightly, put away his phone, stood up, and walked slowly over to Chi Gui.
Chi Gui’s almond-shaped eyes, dark and serene, watched him closely.
Fu Si leaned in very close, his breath nearly touching Chi Gui’s delicate ear, his voice low and enticing: “Yes, indeed. I hope you’ll take good care… of my store in the future.”
He drew out the word “my,” infusing it with endless ambiguity.
Chi Gui frowned, looking into his captivating phoenix eyes.
Describing Fu Si’s appearance as flawless wasn’t an exaggeration; he exuded a kind of nobility and grace that only came from being raised in a wealthy and distinguished family.
Back in the research institute, Chi Gui always heard her students gushing about how charming Fu Si was, saying that even being played by him once would be a blissful experience.
Seeing him up close, there indeed was something maddeningly appealing about him.
Chi Gui, slightly puzzled, asked, “I’m not deaf, why are you speaking so closely?”
“Pfft!” Qin Cheng couldn’t help but cover his mouth forcefully and hurriedly left the shop.
He feared he couldn’t hold back his laughter if he stayed any longer!
He didn’t stop running until he was two streets away.
Taking out his phone, he saw that people in the WeChat group were chatting.
Someone @ him: “What’s so good about Nancheng, that small-town city, that you and Mr. Fu can’t bear to leave?”
Qin Cheng cheekily replied: “You’d be shocked if I told you! But I dare not say!”
He immediately reaped a chorus of wails and curses from the group.
Qin Cheng put away his phone, feeling satisfied.
There was something slightly thrilling about being the only one privy to a shocking secret!
Fu Si stood up straight, maintaining a distance from Chi Gui.
His long, attractive fingers pushed up his glasses, his smile warm and gentle: “What would you like to buy?”
Chi Gui’s gaze swept over the shelves on either side.
The store was large, and the shelves were filled with an array of items covering almost everything a medical student could need.
Chi Gui figured she’d purchase the scalpel and a whole series of items, and also casually picked up a human body model.
All of these items were from well-regarded domestic brands, and would cost at least ten thousand yuan at normal prices.
But with the 50% discount, Chi Gui only spent three thousand.
Saving several thousand yuan put her in a noticeably good mood; after paying, she smiled and thanked Fu Si: “Thank you.”
Fu Si raised an eyebrow.
Chi Gui, when not smiling, seemed clear and cold, her demeanor distant, but when she did smile, her eyes curved slightly, and her entire being transformed as though ice and snow were melting, incredibly gentle and lovely.
Fu Si felt something stir within him.
His lips curved slightly: “No need to thank me, just frequent my… store in the future.” For original chapters go to novel~fire~net
“Sure,” Chi Gui didn’t catch the implication and nodded.
Fu Si’s phoenix eyes gleamed, and he spoke again as if on a whim: “We also offer free home delivery service, would you like that?”
