CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 185: JUST HALF A DAY

When Rong Qingqing leaned over just now, the back of her head brushed past the tip of his nose.

He could clearly smell the scent on her body.

A very pleasant, faint fragrance.

Maybe it was her body wash, or maybe her shampoo.

Or perhaps it was the scent of the body lotion she used.

Shen Jue disdainfully tossed the remaining half of the fried dumpling on his chopsticks onto the empty plate, "Hah, looks like a dog chewed it."

Shen Jue pushed the plate aside, deciding out of sight, out of mind, and took a few sips of porridge, but soon his gaze drifted back to it.

A moment later, he expressionlessly picked it up again.

"Only a woman like Rong Qingqing would waste food like this, taking a bite and then running off, huh."

Forty minutes later, Rong Qingqing hurriedly came down from upstairs all dressed up.

She thought she’d see Shen Jue with a dark look downstairs, but instead, he scolded her the moment she rushed out of the elevator.

"Rong Qingqing, did you swallow your doctor’s orders? Told you not to run or jump, can’t remember?"

Rong Qingqing stopped her steps and smiled at Shen Jue, "I was just afraid you’d be mad because I’m late~"

Shen Jue glanced at Rong Qingqing with her exquisite makeup.

Even knowing she’s late, she didn’t skimp on the makeup.

Rong Qingqing pretended not to notice Shen Jue glancing at her. She was prepared to go back and shamelessly drag him out if he wasn’t there when she got downstairs.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jue was a bit better than she had anticipated.

"Let’s go." Rong Qingqing swung her bag and turned to Guo Lan, who was watching, "Auntie, Shen Jue and I are going shopping."

Guo Lan beamed, "Go ahead."

Knowing Rong Qingqing had a card given by the old man, Guo Lan didn’t mention Shen Jue paying for her.

"Miss Qingqing and Young Master coming back for lunch?" Nanny Zhao asked with concern.

Guo Lan quickly said, "Since they’re out, they might as well eat out before coming back. No need to rush home; find a nice restaurant outside for lunch, and once finished, let Ah Jue accompany you shopping around in the afternoon."

Shen Jue watched as Rong Qingqing happily agreed, sneering inwardly.

Such wishful thinking.

If he was willing to accompany her out for half a day, that was already merciful; she was really daring in her imagination.

"Only half a day." Shen Jue looked at Rong Qingqing, "I’m coming back for lunch. As for whether you come back or not, that’s up to you."

After saying that, Shen Jue went out first.

Rong Qingqing clicked her tongue at his back and told Nanny Zhao, "If I enjoy shopping, I won’t come back for lunch; you just prepare something for Shen Jue."

After speaking, Rong Qingqing hurried out.

By the time she reached the door, Shen Jue was already seated in the car, in the back seat.

The car door was open, clearly waiting for Rong Qingqing.

Rong Qingqing bent over to look and got in, only then realizing Lin Bufan wasn’t driving. She turned to ask Shen Jue, "Isn’t Lin Bufan coming?"

Lin Bufan was Shen Jue’s assistant, and Rong Qingqing instinctively thought that whenever Shen Jue went out, Lin Bufan would be there.

Shen Jue’s face darkened, "I’m going out; how about letting Lin Bufan accompany you?"

Rong Qingqing immediately shut her mouth, closed the car door, and urged the driver to go quickly.

Forty minutes later, Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue arrived at the mall.

Once again, Shen Jue witnessed firsthand the crazy shopping abilities of a woman.

With her good figure and appearance, everything looked good on her. So when Rong Qingqing shopped, she delicately pointed with her slender fingers. This row, this one, not this one, everything else, she wanted them all.
