Chapter: 2748
Charlie Wade knew that Professor He Yuanjiang, being a senior intellectual, had a high opinion of himself. This often made him look down on people like Hong Wu. However, after hearing Charlie’s introduction about the situation, He Yuanjiang was able to set aside his judgments.
Charlie then stood up and said to He Yuanjiang and his daughter, “Uncle He, Zhiqiu, let’s go.” He Yuanjiang nodded and got up. He Zhiqiu, who had been feeling uncomfortable sitting on the sofa, was eager to stand up. She had been waiting to get up for a while, but didn’t want to look foolish sitting alone while her dad and Charlie were still seated.
As she finally stood up, she felt a sudden snap from her underwear. The hook had come undone, and she let out a surprised scream. “Damn!”
He Yuanjiang quickly asked, “Zhiqiu, what’s wrong?”
He Zhiqiu felt embarrassed and wished she could disappear. There was no way she could tell her dad that her clothing had malfunctioned. So, she forced a smile and said, “Dad, I’m fine. I just stood up too quickly, and now I feel a bit dizzy.”
Concerned, He Yuanjiang rushed to support her, asking, “Are you okay? If it’s serious, I will take you to the hospital!”
He Zhiqiu quickly waved her hand, reassuring him.
“No, no, no! It’s all right now!” she said quickly, lowering her hand. The hook was broken, and if she raised her arm too much, her underwear would shift completely, which would be very embarrassing!
He Yuanjiang sighed in relief. “I think you need to rest. Take these next two days to recover your energy.”
He Zhiqiu nodded and replied, “Okay, Dad, I understand.”
Then she glanced at Charlie Wade and felt a little better when she saw that he seemed unfazed.
“It looks like neither my dad nor Charlie Wade realized what just happened… If they had, I would be so embarrassed!” she thought, feeling a mix of anger and frustration toward Charlie Wade. “How could you buy me the smallest size? It’s not just a matter of looking down on me; this is just torturous!”
On the surface, Charlie Wade seemed calm, but inside, he was a bundle of nerves. His senses were incredibly sharp. When He Zhiqiu had made an odd little noise earlier, he immediately sensed something was off.
The sound had been faint, like an elastic band snapping, but his keen hearing picked it up clearly, almost as if it had happened right in front of him. He quickly understood that something was wrong.
He Zhiqiu was wearing only his upper body underwear. He wondered, “What is happening? Did I buy clothes of such poor quality?”
