Delicate best friend of the Female lead - Chapter 165

“Sorry, if you can’t afford it, please don’t delay my time. Take this dress off, because I am fond of this haute couture dress.”

At that moment, the two people who were still whispering in each other’s ears’ raised their heads and looked at the sound source.

A blond woman was looking at them both with contempt.

An Xia became a little embarrassed.

Although the other party spoke a bit awkwardly, An Xia didn’t have the desire to buy.

An Xia, with a softer personality, thought that she wouldn’t buy it anyway, so she wanted to take off the dress from her body and let this foreigner buy it.

“Sor…” An Xia just wanted to give away the dress she wore, but Huo Ci blocked her.

He held An Xia’s palm and looked coldly at the foreigner with a contemptuous expression and an unfriendly look.

He spoke lightly in smooth French “Can’t afford it? I’m sorry, this dress is specially made by me. I’m afraid you are not eligible to buy it.”

Huo Ci’s voice just fell. The woman who was still arrogant, had a mocking expression on her face, “Impossible.”

If it was customized in advance, why would they take so much time? Was it too expensive?

The foreigner simply didn’t believe that An Xia’s white pearl dress was customized in advance for them. She thought they were bluffing.

Soon the designer on the side said something that was a slap in her face, “Sorry, Ms. Catherine, this dress is indeed made by Mr. Huo.”

Catherine became embarrassed.

Those black eyes that were originally full of contempt, when they saw Huo Ci’s smiling eyes, only felt humiliated.

An Xia was shocked too and looked at Huo Ci.

In Huo Ci’s ear, she asked in surprise, “Huh? Huo Ci, is this one made by you?”

“Yes, I customized it.”

When Huo Ci faced An Xia, his cold expression suddenly softened.

He smiled and said softly, “Yes, it’s a reward for you.”

An Xia only felt a little bit dumbfounded.

She only invested 4 million, but Huo Ci gave her a gift of 2 million in return, which was too…a prodigal! She had really seen why the big star became a “Card Slave” and a “Moonlight Clan”!

Although she was moved, Huo Ci was so kind to her and even customized her dress… 

Huo Ci’s company had just started and neither of them had much money for the time being.

“Huo Ci, I am very touched by the gift you gave me. However, it’s really too expensive. If we had not just started a company and had sufficient funds in hand, I would have been very happy to take this dress. But, we don’t have any spare money now, we can’t spend money like this, do you understand?”

Taking into account that there were other people around, An Xia said it in Chinese.

The little cook who wanted to save money and start a company was really too cute!

“Rest assured, our company now is profitable. Moreover, I am a VIP of Elie Saab, so the price isn’t as expensive as you think.”

Huo Ci was actually lying.

An Xia didn’t know the Elie Saab brand very well and Huo Ci’s expression was really sincere.

So she believed these words and was already thinking about what kind of gift she should give Huo Ci.

The situation where the two were chatting in Chinese certainly attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

It was just that Elie Saab’s employees have special professional qualities. They just stood quietly and didn’t interrupt the chat between Huo Ci and An Xia.

However, Catherine, who was embarrassed, couldn’t help it.

Although she couldn’t understand Chinese, she could tell that An Xia felt that the dress she wore was too expensive and didn’t want to buy it.

So she felt deeply in her heart that Huo Ci and An Xia weren’t so rich.

They just were putting on airs and ordered this expensive dress.

Her self-esteem, which had been hit by Huo Ci, recovered again!

Then……

“Miss, I really like this pearl dress. If you think the price is too expensive, I can buy your customized dress for twice the price. What do you think?”

Catherine looked at An Xia with a smile, but there was still a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

“……what?”

However, facing Catherine’s ridicule, An Xia’s attention was all-on-twice the purchase price…

Rich people were all like that… were they different (mentally retarded)? Obviously it was only two million, must it cost four million to buy it? Why waste so much money?.

And with 4 million she must be able to buy a dress that looked even better than the evening gown she wore.

A sentence flashed in An Xia’s mind, that was she was rich but stupid and lacks financial awareness.

With that thought, An Xia looked at Catherine with some unspeakable complexity and a trace of… sympathy.

Catherine thought that An Xia was shocked by her financial resources, so she curled her lips mockingly and sneered at the identity of An Xia and Huo Ci in her heart.

It was just two hillbillies, she didn’t need to care.

Unfortunately, the triumphant smile on Catherine’s face soon disappeared.

Because–

“Haha, sorry, not for sale,” Huo Ci said coldly without raising his eyelids.

As Huo Ci refused without hesitation, An Xia felt a little regretful.

Things like dresses were basically disposable ‘consumables’. She didn’t have much desire for these, so there was no need to spend too much on them. She had thought that in order for Huo Ci’s company to have sufficient funds, it would be better to save a little.

Since this was Huo Ci’s intention, then she could accept it calmly.

Anyway, even if Huo Ci’s money was wasted on her, she still had money! She could get a lot of money every month with dividends and rent! When the time came, she would “raise” Huo Ci!

So An Xia was no longer entangled and got in her form of treating money like dirt as she was in the past.

Was it two million? 

“Thank you, Huo Ci, I like this dress you gave me. It is really beautiful.” An Xia looked at Huo Ci with a smile. Her eyes were gleaming and her words were full of love.

An Xia really liked the dress.

Seeing her gleaming eyes, Huo Ci wanted to lower his head and kiss An Xia’s eyes.

Huo Ci stared at An Xia, “As long as you like it, that’s enough.”

After Huo Ci finished speaking in Chinese, he continued speaking in French, “It’s only twice. As long as you like it, even if it’s a hundred times, I won’t sell it to others.”

As he said, Huo Ci raised his hand and lifted a strand of hair from An Xia’s forehead and put it behind his ear.
