Su Xi dared not disturb Gu Qinnian, who was lost in thought. It was only when his cup of coffee ran dry that he seemed to return from his reverie.
Realizing his rudeness in leaving Su Xi unattended while he immersed himself in his musings, Gu Qinnian offered an apologetic smile.
"I had promised to accompany you shopping..."
Before he could finish, Su Xi interrupted eagerly, "It's fine. There's still time. We can go now—it's not too late."
Gu Qinnian agreed with a slight nod, "Alright, let me settle the bill."
For the entire afternoon, Gu Qinnian stayed by Su Xi's side as she shopped to her heart's content.
When Su Xi mentioned wanting a designer handbag, Gu Qinnian showed remarkable generosity. Not only did he buy her the coveted item, but he also indulged her with an array of jewelry and clothing.
Although Su Xi had dated several wealthy second-generation heirs before, few could rival Gu Qinnian's liberality.
