Chapter 5 - Shopping in the Mall (Part-2)

After entering the restaurant they both sat on the table near the glass window. Soon waiter came and handed them the menu card and waited for their order. Both of them ordered simple meal for themselves.

As they were waiting for the food Zhao Mei received a call from her mother asking if they were coming home for dinner. Zhao Mei asked Lu Qian about it. "Would like to eat dinner at my home or are we going to dine outside?". Lu Qian agreed to dine at Zhao Mei's house for dinner in a heartbeat as she liked to eat Zhao Mei's mother's cooking. "Of course we will return back for dinner".

Soon their food was served. Lu Qian finished her food quickly as she wanted to start her shopping spree again. She started to urge Zhao Mei to do the same.

Zhao Mei sighed at her friend's childishness and finished her food quickly as well. Then both of them left the restaurant after paying the bill and continued their shopping till the evening. Lu Qian stopped after going through all the shops in mall. Lu Qian looked quite satisfied by all the shopping she has done. She even forced Zhao Mei to buy some as well.

Zhao Mei sighed at the amount of money they had spent. She was not a miser but she doesn't like to waste the money as she didn't feel the need to do so much shopping. Buying some clothes would have been enough but this can never happen when she goes with Lu Qian. Looking at the satisfied Lu Qian she sighed and sat at one of the benches for rest. Zhao Mei called chauffer and asked him to drive the car at front gate after ten minutes.

After some rest both of them left the mall while chatting with each other. Soon they spotted their car at the front gate and walked towards it. Chauffer got down and opened the car door for them. They sat at the back then he drove them back to Zhao Mei's house.

It took them 3 hours to reach their destination as there was heavy traffic on the road. After getting out of the car both of them dragged their tiered body towards Zhao Mei's bedroom. When father Zhao saw them so tired he went into the kitchen to inform mother Zhao about their arrival.

Mother Zhao bought water for them as well as some snacks to eat. She asked them about their shopping. They replied to her accordingly. After eating both of them felt little better as they recovered some energy then they got freshen up and went downstairs to help mother Zhao to cook.

Soon dinner was ready and all of them gathered at dining table for dinner. While eating father Zhao asked, "So how was the shopping?". At his question Lu Qian beamed at him. "Uncle it was great. We managed to buy lots of clothes and accessories. We enjoyed it very much".

When Zhao Mei saw how energized she looks after hearing the word shopping she couldn't stop herself from shaking her head. When suddenly mother Zhao asked, "But what about your appointment at salon? Did you both forgot about it?".

After listening to mother Zhao Lu Qian was struck with the realisation. She turned to Zhao Mei and saw her angry look. She gulped the food in her mouth and wanted to say something but Zhao Mei interrupted her.

"Mother don't even ask about it". She looked at Lu Qian angrily and said, "I have asked them to postpone it".

Zhao Mei has received a phone call from the salon asking if they are coming or cancelling the appointment. Zhao Mei asked them to schedule it to next day. She did not mentioned it in front of Lu Qian as she didn't wanted to burst her happy bubble. But she did not wanted to lie to her mother so she replied honestly.

"I am sorry Meimei", Lu Qian looked at Zhao Mei apologetically.

Zhao Mei got up and left the dinning table without saying anything.
