Chapter 48: Damn, It's a Robbery!

As the saying goes, never underestimate a young person in hardship. In the brief moment when the beautiful shop owner was lost in thought, her mind spun through countless emotions.

During that pause, several customers nearby began to speak up for Qingqing.

A middle-aged woman said, “This young girl is truly devoted to her family. Nowadays, you rarely see children with such filial piety.”

Another matron chimed in, “Yes, I find this girl quite pleasing in every way. If you’re short on money, dear, Auntie can lend you some.”

A fashionable mother remarked, “Little sister, you’re so adorable. I wish I could pinch your cheeks! Why don’t I have a cute sister like you? I’ve always wanted one…”

Her young son, holding her hand, looked up, “Sister, what’s your name? Will you play with me?”

…

The beautiful shop owner finally removed the scarf and handed it to Qingqing. “Alright, so many people are speaking up for you, and considering your sincerity, fifty yuan it is. I’ll sell at a loss for you.”

Qingqing held back her excitement, taking the scarf gratefully.

“Thank you, beautiful boss.”

“Alright, cash or…?” The owner smiled at Qingqing, her goodwill growing. “Next time you shop here, everything is half price.”

“Great! Thank you, I’ll pay by scan…”

Qingqing marveled at the charm of her prop—it was truly effective.

Earlier, she’d thought this item was ridiculous.

Now, it seemed magical and indispensable—a real weapon for bargaining!

If she used this prop to negotiate a multimillion-dollar contract in the business world, would she seal the deal every time?

Wouldn’t that be miraculous?

For this prop, Qingqing still had the same wish… Give me a dozen, please!

It’s so useful, simply amazing.

Having bought the scarf, Qingqing’s mood was soaring and couldn’t settle.

The beautiful boss went to greet other customers, while Qingqing, holding her scarf bag, was about to leave…

Suddenly, a large hand pulled her into a nearby fitting room.

Yes, this scarf shop also sold clothing and accessories.

Qingqing was startled, ready to scream.

Oh my god, a robbery!

No, a pervert!

She looked closely at the person who had grabbed her—

His face seemed sculpted, with a handsome, refined nose and lips like cherry blossoms.

His lips curved perfectly, always carrying a smile.

Such a smile could part the clouds and let the sunshine flood in—gentle and effortless.

He wore black sunglasses, combining elegance, coolness, and an almost magical allure.

Qingqing’s cry of “pervert” stuck in her throat.

How could there be such a good-looking pervert in the world?

With looks like his, he wouldn’t need to be a pervert at all—just stand on the street and countless girls would swarm to him!

His face was impossibly enchanting, dangerous enough to cause heartache.

Qingqing was dazed for a moment. “Who are you? What do you want?”

The young man was tall, graceful, dressed in a well-fitted beige casual suit. A black-gold ring on his finger hinted at extraordinary wealth. The whole person radiated elegance, sunshine, and irresistible charm.

He seemed surprised. “You don’t recognize me?”

Qingqing’s hand was still in his grasp, her body pressed against the wall, half enveloped by him.

Now that she realized, the situation felt terribly ambiguous.

She, Qingqing, had never been so close to a boy before… well, except for bumping into the campus heartthrob, Zhan Su, yesterday.
