Chapter 989: A Humble Inquiry

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The environment shapes a person. Although this isn’t entirely correct, there is some truth in it. Yang Ming left the property company, got in his car, and drove to the business street. This matter was also temporarily left aside since it wasn’t a big deal.

However, after his Fifth Cousin ​​left, would he be as arrogant as before? It was not something Yang Ming could predict. It depended on hid Fifth Cousin. After all, Yang Ming was not a savior. He couldn’t be bothered with everything.

As for Wei Dekang’s real estate company, even if Yang Ming couldn’t get it, there was nothing to regret. Anyway, Yang Ming was not short of money, but he had no experience in entering the market.

The car slowly drove out of the community and headed to the business street. In fact, Yang Ming was not a romantic person, nor did he have the experience of buying gifts for girls.

Getting together with a girl came completely natural. As for confessions, it also came very direct. This was his first time to do so in a subtle manner through a gift.

Yang Ming parked in the parking lot near the business street. He decided to start with the business street. This kind of thing was rarely found in big shopping malls. On the other hand, the small gift shops on the street would have similar items.

There were many gift shops on the roadside with various items. Yang Ming picked a store that looked pretty good and walked in. The reason why he chose this one was that the other shops had written signboards like “Imported gifts from XX countries.” Yang Ming despised them a little. It was a trick for those who knew nothing. Most of the global light industrial products were manufactured locally and exported out. These people imported them back to fool people who were ignorant.

It wasn’t the peak hour for customers at this moment. Hence, there weren’t many people in the store. After Yang Ming walked in, the saleswoman greeted and asked Yang Ming, “Sir, do you want to pick a gift?”

” En , yes.” Yang Ming nodded.

“What gift do you want to choose?” The saleswoman smiled, “Is it for a friend’s birthday, or for a romantic partner?”

” Ugh …” Yang Ming didn’t know how to answer. What is Zhao Ying? She isn’t a romantic partner, but in terms of friends, it doesn’t make sense for me to give a gift.

” Hehe , sir, do you want to give a girl who you like, but both of you haven’t yet gotten together?” The saleswoman received a lot of customers every day. She knew the intention and the needs of the customers easily. When she noticed Yang Ming mumbling, she quickly understood it.

“Yes!” Yang Ming scratched his head and nodded. He still didn’t know how to describe it, but the sales lady had said it first.

” Oh , then I will take the liberty to ask. How is your progress with the girl you like?” The saleswoman continued to ask, “Did you both just meet? Or, are you both familiar with each other but you haven’t confessed yet? Or, both of you are already very close to each other?”

“It should be the third one…” Yang Ming did not hide it. After all, he was asking a favor from others. He knew nothing about it. Naturally, he would speak more in detail so that others could take the appropriate option. Otherwise, if Yang Ming hid it, the person couldn’t help him choose the right gift! Then he said, “Actually, the matter goes like this… I like a girl. I thought she also has the intention on me. I hinted to her once, but I was rejected. Later, after more contact, I think she still likes me. I have confirmed this from the mouth of others that the girl is waiting for me to confess again…”

” Hehe , I understand what you mean, sir.” The saleswoman smiled and nodded. “You intend to confess to her again, but you’re afraid she will refuse again. Hence, you want to buy a gift for her to express your love for her subtly, right?”

” En, En !” Yang Ming nodded quickly. He thought, This saleswoman is a goddess. She is as good as me! I can read others’ minds, but she can read mine!

“The girl you talked about should probably be a kind of person who has a lot of internal thoughts but is somewhat indecisive. Since she is overcautious, she may be startled if you directly confess to her; hence, she will reject you.” The saleswoman continued, “However, a subtle confession in expressing love should have a higher success rate. In other words, even if she refuses again, you can just not admit it. There is still a chance next time, right?”

“Yes.” Yang Ming nodded and gave a thumbs up. “You analyzed very well. It’s much better than my thoughts. What gifts suit me?”

“In fact, there are a lot of gifts to confess a love interest subtly. However, according to your situation, I think this gift is best for you.” As the saleswoman spoke, she took a small box from the shelf and continued, “This. ”

“What is this?” Yang Ming took the small box, then opened it to take a glance. It was a Christmas tree-like thing with a bunch of small cards hanging on it, but the art craft was magnificent.

“This thing is called a memory tree [1].” The saleswoman continued, “Look at it. There is nothing special on the surface. It is a Christmas tree-shaped ornament, but you can open it here!”

As the saleswoman spoke, she carefully opened a small card on the memory tree, but it was like a place to write and drop a message.

“We can leave a message here?” Yang Ming looked at the memory tree and asked with surprise.

“Yes, this memory tree is called a memory tree because you can write a lot of good memories in it!” The saleswoman continued, “For example, the process of your acquaintance, or some important, meaningful events. You can write it briefly inside, then close it and give it to your crush. When you give it to her, don’t tell her the secret. Wait for her to discover it!”

” Oh !” Yang Ming thought about it with a nod. This is a good item. It can exploit Zhao Ying’s adventurousness! Not bad! “How much is this? I just want this!”

“One hundred and thirty yuan. But, it will be ninety-eight yuan after discount,” the saleswoman said.

Yang Ming heard that the price wasn’t high. The value of the item exceeded its cost. The key was that the lady’s previous analysis was worth more than the ninety-eight yuan. If it weren’t for her, Yang Ming wouldn’t know what to give to Zhao Ying.

“Okay, where do I pay?” Yang Ming nodded and expressed his satisfaction.

“Sir, come along with me.” The saleswoman led Yang Ming to the cashier.

“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I still wouldn’t know what to do!” Yang Ming said sincerely.

” Pu… hahahahaha! ” A girl’s laughter came over. Yang Ming quickly turned around and looked at another cash register not far away. A girl was choosing a gift. The laughter was from her. She… is actually Jing Xiaolu! Apparently, she must be laughing at me. In this store, aside from me, she is the only one left! Her blush indicated that she had held it in for a long time.

Yang Ming was so angry that he couldn’t help but glare at her. He said with agitation, “What are you laughing at!?”

“Nothing.” Jing Xiaolu grinned. Her gaze was filled with the intention to laugh as tears threatened to slip out. “Yang Ming, I didn’t expect that there would be a time when you pursued girls. Someone else sent herself to you, and yet you don’t want…”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Yang Ming’s facial expression was awkward. There were outsiders nearby, causing Yang Ming to feel very embarrassed.

“I didn’t talk nonsense.” Jing Xiaolu giggled. “How about you confess to me? I can be your mistress!”

“Nonsense.” Yang Ming glared at her, and said somewhat helplessly, “You have a good job. Why do you want to be my mistress!? You are so young, yet you don’t follow good examples!”

“Why are you so old-fashioned?” Jing Xiaolu rolled her eyes at Yang Ming flirtatiously. “It sounds like you are too old! Aren’t you just my classmate!?”

This Jing Xiaolu was now dressed in a white-collar secretary’s outfit which had an indescribable seduction. She was simply another person totally different from her original non-mainstream girl delinquent character. It uncontrollably stimulated Yang Ming’s mind to think about the office AV scene…

“Fine!” Yang Ming shook his head and didn’t dare to think about it again. “You didn’t go to work. What are you doing here?”

“I’m on holiday today!” Jing Xiaolu smiled. “You didn’t know the work you introduced to me? The company is on a series of breaks.”

“Is it?” Yang Ming really didn’t know. ” Oh , then you go shopping. I’m leaving.”

“Wait! Aren’t you worried about pursuing girls? I can help you with your strategy!” Jing Xiaolu grabbed Yang Ming and told him not to leave.

“What are you doing…? Men and women can’t get too close with each other [2]…” Yang Ming said with a cold sweat.

“I didn’t say anything. Why are you so shy?” Jing Xiaolu said indifferently.

“You know how to strategize?” Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu curiously.

Jing Xiaolu smiled faintly. “I’m also a girl. I naturally understand the psychology of girls! Just now, the saleswoman told you about the purpose of this gift, but she did not say the timing and method of sending it. If you want to send it out, just forget about it. It is more convenient for you to push her down. For this, you need to consult me. I’m very experienced…”

“You? Are you serious?” Yang Ming was a bit swayed by Jing Xiaolu’s words. After all, these words hit the soft spots in Yang Ming’s heart. Yang Ming was also anxious to know it right now.

“Forget it if you don’t believe me,” Jing Xiaolu shook her head. “You can just take it as if I didn’t say it.”

“You wait…” Yang Ming called Jing Xiaolu. Anyway, there is no loss in listening to it. If I find it useful, then I will learn it. If I find it useless, then I will just disregard it. I have nothing to lose. Then, he said, “Tell me about it…”

“Are you treating me like an idiot? It was not easy for me to take a day off. I want to go shopping. However, if someone were to pay for it, I can go through the trouble and give him some advice!” Jing Xiaolu stretched and spoke lazily.
