Chapter: 2740
He Zhiqiu wore a customized Chanel dress with leggings and white leather shoes. She felt a mix of elegance and shyness. The dress had once been worn by a popular European princess, showcasing He Zhiqiu’s refined taste. However, what no one knew was that underneath, she was wearing something that made her feel embarrassed.
Charlie Wade, unaware of her discomfort, complimented her. “You look great in that dress! It suits you perfectly!” he said with a slight frown.
He Zhiqiu’s cheeks turned bright red. Inside, she thought, “The outside looks good, but the inside is a disaster! I can’t tell if he’s being teasing or just clueless. If it’s on purpose, that’s really gross!” The dress was also too tight, making it hard for her to breathe. But she didn’t dare to voice her thoughts.
Instead, she awkwardly replied, “Thank you, Mr. Ye. The clothes and shoes are really nice.”
Charlie nodded, still feeling a bit confused. He thought her outfit fit well but wondered about the fit of her underwear. That was a question he couldn’t ask, so he quickly changed the subject. “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
“Okay!” He Zhiqiu nodded softly.
Charlie asked Chen Zekai for the car keys and drove He Zhiqiu to Jinling University of Finance and Economics in Buckingham Palace. While they drove, He Zhiqiu looked around curiously. When they reached the center of Jinling, she exclaimed, “Jinling is…!”
“How can a second-tier city develop so well? It’s so different from an international city,” He Zhiqiu said, looking around.
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “China has been growing quickly in recent years. Besides the first-tier cities, many cities are becoming recognized as first-tier too. Jinling is now considered a quasi-first-tier city.”
He Zhiqiu nodded, feeling a bit amazed. “I used to think of Jinling as just a medium-sized city. I didn’t expect it to grow this much. It seems the situation here is very different from what the Western media shows.”
Charlie Wade chuckled, “That’s true. The Western media always focuses on the negative, like a sour lemon.”
He Zhiqiu agreed, “Exactly! They love to report bad news every day.”
But then, feeling a bit uneasy, He Zhiqiu changed the subject. “Mr. Ye, do you often buy underwear for your girlfriend?”
Charlie Wade was caught off guard by the sudden question. After a moment of hesitation, he replied, “No way! Today is the first day of the month.”
He Zhiqiu pretended to be surprised. “Really?”
Charlie Wade nodded, “Of course!”
He Zhiqiu asked, “Do you feel embarrassed when you go into the store?”
Charlie Wade sighed, “Yes, it’s pretty embarrassing. There are mannequin models in all kinds of underwear everywhere. I didn’t want to look too much, so I just pointed to one and hurried to buy it.”
He Zhiqiu nodded, thinking to himself, “It seems the style isn’t something Mr. Ye does on purpose.”
As soon as she saw Charlie Wade talking about it, she felt a bit cautious. Inside, she couldn’t help but laugh, thinking, “It’s funny to see someone as powerful as Mr. Ye feeling embarrassed sometimes.”
