Chapter 417: Too predictable.
Han Xichen opened the passenger door and helped Xiaoshi in, then he kept all the bags in the backseat before occupying the driver’s seat.
The entire car ride was silent until they arrived at her apartment. As soon as the car stopped, she dashed out like her house was on fire. "Thanks for the ride, Dr. Han. I’ll go up first!"
"You forgot something." He laughed and stepped out of the car.
"What?" She paused and looked at him curiously, then saw him opening the door to the backseat to reveal the colorful shopping bags. She scratched her head awkwardly. "These... I should give them back."
He raised an eyebrow. "You want me to wear them?"
"Of course not!" She was speechless at his attempt to act dumb. His tone was even so natural that it sounded as though he was seriously considering the idea. "I mean... It’s already good enough to fake it. As for the gifts, you could give them to your sister."
He grinned at her idea. "My sisters are much older than me and are all married. They will beat me up if I do such a thing as give them clothes and jewelry that teenage girls and young women like."
She laughed, not daring to imagine the scene of Han Xichen getting beaten up. "Then... You can keep them. What if you meet a girl later, and she likes them? You can give it as a gift."
She thought her idea was perfect, but he looked aggrieved. "You want me to give to my girlfriend the things we used as props for our act?"
She was suddenly at a loss. "But they are so expensive. I can’t simply take them..." She knew that the man would definitely not accept a refund.
"Why don’t you take it as a friendly gift? If you still feel like it’s too much, you can treat me to lunch."
