"Du Fei, will you regret having me as your girlfriend?"
Du Fei and Liu Shishi were walking hand in hand when Liu Shishi suddenly asked.
Du Fei looked at her with confusion, not understanding why she would ask that.
"Other girlfriends have plenty of time to spend with their boyfriends, eating, shopping, watching movies, doing many things couples do, but I'm so busy, I have very little time to spend with you."
Actually, before this, Liu Shishi had never thought about this issue.
But Liu Yingting's words made her suddenly realize that since she started dating Du Fei, they had never spent as much time together as ordinary couples.
"Was it something Tingting said that made you feel a bit guilty?"
Du Fei immediately thought of what was said at the airport when he saw Liu Yingting off.
Liu Shishi did not deny it, she nodded and admitted it directly.
"Firstly, neither of us are teenagers who like to stick together all day. Secondly, if you truly love someone, you should want to become better together with her. I'm overjoyed to have such a great girlfriend like you, so how could I regret it?"
Du Fei said this while looking at Liu Shishi affectionately.
Although Du Fei had said sweet nothings to Liu Shishi before, they were outside now, and people were passing by from time to time. Liu Shishi shyly pulled Du Fei forward.
Seeing Liu Shishi's shy expression, like a ripe red apple with a blush, Du Fei really wanted to lean in and kiss her.
However, Du Fei also knew that with Liu Shishi's personality, if he really did that, she would probably get angry.
After getting Du Fei's answer, Liu Shishi's mood improved significantly.
Her mood lightened, and she became radiant.
"New store grand opening, special offer! Spend over one thousand yuan in-store and receive a piece of exquisite jade."
As Du Fei and Liu Shishi were browsing, they saw a newly opened jewelry store with someone loudly advertising at the entrance.
Passersby, upon hearing that they would receive a piece of exquisite jade for every thousand yuan spent, couldn't help but go in to take a look.
Although things in a jewelry store were definitely not cheap, most people thought that a thousand yuan was within their budget.
Getting a piece of jade for free was a sure win.
"What do you think? Want to go in and take a look?"
Although Du Fei wasn't very interested in jewelry, he was with Liu Shishi now, and he knew that women liked jewelry and diamonds, so he asked Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi nodded.
However, Liu Shishi nodded not because she wanted to buy jewelry or jade, but because she just wanted to browse.
Women are like that; when shopping, they want to go into any store, whether they buy anything or not is another matter.
Du Fei led Liu Shishi into the jewelry store.
The newly opened jewelry store was luxuriously decorated, and the brand new decor was dazzling.
Moreover, the lighting in the jewelry store was sufficient. Even those who initially only intended to browse would feel an impulse to spend money after staying there for a while.
Since they were already there, Liu Shishi, like others, leaned against the counter and looked around.
"Wow, beautiful lady, you are so pretty, your skin is so fair and tender. We have a pearl bracelet in our store that would suit you perfectly."
Liu Shishi had only looked for a few minutes when a sales assistant from the jewelry store approached her, eagerly wanting to make a sale.
Liu Shishi was about to refuse, but Du Fei on the side preempted her, "Is that so? Then bring it out for my girlfriend to try on."
Only then did the sales assistant notice Du Fei next to Liu Shishi. Hearing Du Fei agree, she immediately beamed with joy and said with a face full of delight, "Oh my, handsome sir, you are so good to your girlfriend. You two are truly a match made in heaven, so perfectly suited for each other."
After a string of pleasantries, the sales assistant asked Liu Shishi and Du Fei to wait while she went to another counter to fetch the item.
Just as Du Fei and Liu Shishi were waiting for the sales assistant to return, a commotion suddenly arose from the cashier's desk.
"There's something wrong with this jade. It doesn't look like jade to me."
"Exactly, what exquisite jade? This is simply a piece of green glass."
"Refund! How can you do business like this? I'm not buying it anymore, give me my money back."
At the service counter, several women were gathered, angrily shouting at the cashier and receptionists.
Soon, their loud arguments attracted the attention of many people in the jewelry store.
It must be said that more than half of the people in the jewelry store were drawn in by the promotional slogan at the entrance.
Spending a thousand yuan to get a piece of exquisite jade was practically a bargain, so many people eagerly rushed in.
But now, when someone said the jade given by the jewelry store was fake, these people immediately became unhappy.
Because they had almost become one of the cheated customers at the cashier's desk.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how could our jewelry store have fake goods? Please calm down and listen to me for a moment."
At this moment, a woman in a suit skirt and with exquisite makeup walked over.
She was clearly a manager-level figure in the jewelry store. Despite facing the crowd's anger, she was not flustered at all.
She slowly walked over to the woman who was shouting the loudest and smiled at her, "Sister, may I borrow your jade for a moment?"
In fact, the woman she addressed as "sister" was old enough to be her mother.
However, no woman dislikes being called younger. Hearing her friendly address, she immediately nodded and handed the exquisite jade she had received for spending over a thousand yuan to her.
"Do you all feel that the jade we give away looks a bit different from jade on the market, not as transparent?"
"Here, let me share some basic knowledge about jade with you..."
Following that, the elegantly made-up woman rattled off a lengthy explanation.
Because her explanation was extensive and included many professional terms, many people present were utterly confused.
"Why are you telling us all this? We just want a refund!"
Not everyone fell for her act. After she finished speaking, someone immediately disregarded the explanation and only wanted their money back.
The elegantly made-up woman, despite being questioned loudly, maintained her smile. "Dear customer, if you truly wish to return the item, we can certainly process it for you. However, you have repeatedly claimed our goods are fake while in our store. This is a devastating blow to a newly opened establishment like ours."
"This is an industry appraisal certificate for the jade we give away. It clearly states that the jade we provide has absolutely no problems. If you don't believe us, you can take it to any authoritative institution for testing. If it is proven to be fake, we will compensate you tenfold!"
The elegantly made-up woman spoke with such seriousness that everyone present began to hesitate.
Her tone was very calm, and this jewelry store was located in the city center, so it was definitely not a small shop that would disappear in a few days.
Therefore, people gradually began to believe her words.
