The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife

Chapter 31: Chapter 031: I didn’t know you liked this before

Because of that earlier incident, the two of them completely forgot about buying calligraphy for Xu Haotian.

Xu Yisen stepped out of Hanmo Xuan, just in time to catch up with Qin Muni as they were passing by a jewelry store.

Noticing the store’s unique charm, Xu Yisen stopped and gestured to the side.

"Let’s go in and take a look."

Qin Muni paused her steps, tilting her head to glance at the quaintly named Tenghua Building antique jewelry shop beside them.

"Hmm." She halted for a moment, then teasingly remarked while heading inside, "Who would’ve thought you, a big man, would be interested in these things? I never knew you had this kind of taste before."

Xu Yisen: "...!"

Catching the faint exasperation in his expression, Qin Muni felt a sense of equilibrium. Earlier, when the old man was teasing her, this guy was watching the show with such an amused look that it actually made her want to roll her eyes.

As soon as they walked in, a shop assistant approached and welcomed them, "Welcome to Tenghua Building. I’m Chen Yaxin. If you need any assistance, feel free to ask me. Have a pleasant shopping experience."

Qin Muni thanked Chen Yaxin, then asked Xu Yisen beside her in a mock-serious tone, "Chairman Xu, what kind of jewelry are you looking to buy today?"

Lowering his gaze, Xu Yisen noticed the mischievous glint spread across Qin Muni’s peach blossom eyes, knowing full well she was purposely teasing him.

"A hairpin."

Qin Muni burst out laughing, continuing her playful teasing, "Since that’s the case, should we get a wig to match your hairpin?"

Xu Yisen leisurely explored the antique wooden display case of jewelry, casually answering, "That won’t be necessary."

Seeing how focused he was, Qin Muni couldn’t resist teasing further, "Oh, planning to buy it as a token of love for Xia Yuge?"

Xu Yisen abruptly halted his steps, slowly turning his head, his gaze towards Qin Muni slightly frosty.

But with just one glance, he shifted his gaze back, reaching out to pick up a peach blossom hairpin from the display.

As he picked up the wooden hairpin, the attendant, Chen Yaxin, who had been following not far behind, smiled and stepped forward to introduce, "This hairpin is handcrafted from rosewood, adorned with peach blossom beads at the end, making the pin look simple yet elegantly beautiful."

After a brief introduction, Chen Yaxin turned to Qin Muni, friendly asking, "Sir, I bet your girlfriend’s aura would suit this hairpin perfectly. Would you like her to try it on?"

Before Qin Muni could shake her head in refusal, she heard Xu Yisen beside her already agreeing pleasantly, "Sure, I’d appreciate that."

Chen Yaxin nodded, made a "please" gesture, and said, "This way, please."

"Hmm."

Noticing Qin Muni’s faint dissatisfaction as she glanced at him, Xu Yisen gently curled his lips into a smile, then, disregarding her displeasure, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, following Chen Yaxin to a dressing table.

Chen Yaxin invited Qin Muni to sit in the chair in front of the dressing table.

Once she sat down, Chen Yaxin picked up a wooden comb from the dresser mirror and gently brushed Qin Muni’s long black hair draping over her shoulders.

Perhaps due to her experience in styling hair for customers, Chen Yaxin’s movements were highly adept and swift; in just a moment, she had Qin Muni’s long hair elegantly pinned up.

"Sir, would you like to place the hairpin on your girlfriend’s head?"

"Hmm."

Xu Yisen reached out for the peach blossom hairpin handed by Chen Yaxin, and stepped slightly forward to stand behind Qin Muni.

Through the dressing mirror, Qin Muni saw a tender affection woven into Xu Yisen’s expression, while his eyes gazed at her with a soft sentiment.
