In the end, Ling Xi was not allowed to pay.

Because the store happened to belong to Xiao's family, there happened to be something wrong in the store, and Xiao Xiao came over to meet her.

Knowing their intentions, he directly took a set for her.

also gave her and Mu Yi a bottle of expensive cream.

She can still refuse if someone gives money directly, but she doesn't know how to refuse if she gives something.

At that time, Xiao Xiao's words were, "Since you are the goddaughter of your uncle and aunt, you are my cousin." What do you need to pay for something in your own store? ”

Although his face was not very good, and he was not very enthusiastic about her, he said these words sincerely.

Finally, she thanked him and called him cousin.

Xiao Xiao's expression eased, and his expression was complicated.

Now he is much more mature and stable than he was three years ago, and he is not as impulsive as he was back then.

Tell the clerk that she doesn't have to charge money when she comes to get things in the future, just tell him.

Then he went about himself.

——

Ling Xi drove, but when he arrived at the presidential palace, he and Mu Yi were stopped.

"Two, Madame meant that only Miss Ling was invited. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the two of them to be together. ”

The guard had a smile on his face, and said sorry words in his mouth, but his expression was calm.

Ling Qi frowned slightly, "But if they came with me, it's not good to let them go first." ”

"There is a hotel not far from the presidential palace, and the two of them can go to dinner. Or it's okay to stay at the presidential palace and eat with us. ”

The guard gave them two options.

"I heard that the food of the guards of the presidential palace is according to the standards of the troops. I had never been in the army, and I always wanted to get a taste of what the standards of the army were like. ”

Ling Xi looked at the guard with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

Mu Yi frowned and glanced at Ling Qi worriedly.

Ling Qi smiled and shook his head at her, signaling that there was no need to worry.

"Xiao Liu, take the two of you to the restaurant."

The guard didn't have much surprise on his face, and the smile on his face became even thicker, as if he was grateful for his understanding.

Turn around and beckon another guard to come over.

A young guard who looked to be in his twenties came over and took the two to the backyard.

Ling Qi carried the cosmetics for Xiao Su and followed him to the main hall of the Presidential Palace.

When I arrived in the living room, I didn't see Xiao Su, but saw Xiao Jinrou, who I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Miss Ling?"

Seeing her coming, Xiao Jinrou seemed a little surprised.

Standing up and looking at her, he said, "I thought my cousin wouldn't inform you, but I didn't expect you to come anyway." ”

"When I was in the hospital, I happened to meet His Royal Highness, and I heard His Royal Highness say that the president's wife wanted to see me."

Ling Qi walked over, put the cosmetics in his hand on the table, and quietly explained that he didn't mean to slack off the invitation of the president's wife when he came over so late.

After speaking, he smiled and said, "I just didn't expect Miss Xiao to be there." ”

"I was also off today and was called over by my aunt."

Xiao Jinrou pointed to the sofa next to her and said with a smile, "Miss Ling, you sit down first, and I'll call my aunt out." ”

Ling Qi nodded and sat down on a single sofa.

Xiao Jinrou first called the maid to pour tea for her, and then went upstairs briskly to call Xiao Su.

Ling Qi took a sip of tea, his posture was calm, and his face was calm.

There was no word of embarrassment because he was sitting alone in the living room, and his eyes didn't look around, just staring at the table in front of him with a smile.

After waiting for about half an hour, I heard a greeting from the top of the stairs, "Miss Ling, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long." ”
