Xu Ying hesitated as they left the store.
She didn't dare reach for Qi Sheng's hand, afraid he would reject her.
"This isn't like you."
Qi Sheng smiled and took her hand. A man had to take the initiative.
"It's just... our relationship is supposed to be a secret. It wouldn't be good if someone I know saw us," Xu Ying said, her voice tinged with grievance.
She felt the warmth from Qi Sheng's large, well-defined hand.
For the first time, their relationship felt real to her.
"Can we go walk around somewhere?" Xu Ying looked at Qi Sheng expectantly, cherishing the chance to be alone with him.
She longed to go shopping with him, just the two of them, even if they didn't buy a single thing.
She would be perfectly content just to experience what it was like to be a couple.
"Let's go check out Taikoo Li, then."
With his vast experience shopping with women, Qi Sheng knew exactly where they loved to go.
...
The Chanel store in Taikoo Li.
Qi Sheng led Xu Ying into the shop.
