Chapter 79: Chapter 75 I Want to Learn Korean Now
“`
Once Cui Min’er’s smile faded, she put down her phone, and Shen Yutong and Su Yajing nonchalantly sat over, looking concerned.
“Min’er, what’s wrong?”
“Did you have a fight with your fiancé? You look awful…”
Faced with the care of these two girls, Cui Min’er subconsciously glanced at Yu Duo, who was sitting across from her.
Yu Duo, cheeks puffed out, quickly shook her head, indicating she hadn’t said anything.
...
Only then did Cui Min’er relax a bit, forcing a smile as she said, “I’m fine. It’s just that oppa’s bank account hit its limit, so maybe he won’t be able to transfer money to me today.”
“Oh, that’s not a big deal. International transfers are always a hassle…”
“Yeah, we can come back another day to buy it. You can always shop online if need be.”
Zhou Wang glanced at the two girls, sincerely comforting Cui Min’er, then at the innocent-looking Yu Duo beside him. He could only mutter one word in his heart, “Smooth.”
“Hmm, and suddenly I think the bracelet doesn’t seem that pretty anyway; maybe I’ll reconsider.”
Cui Min’er seemed to have adjusted her emotions, showing no sign of distress on the surface.
“Ladies, are you sure you don’t need this?”
The one most at a loss was the female sales assistant. Only her professional demeanor kept her smiling.
“Yajing, didn’t you say earlier that you liked this bracelet too? Why don’t you buy it, I feel like I really don’t need it now.”
Cui Min’er sincerely held Su Yajing’s hand and said.
“Brother, what do you think?”
Su Yajing actually seemed tempted and instinctively looked at Zhou Wang.
“Forget it, this one’s pretty average.”
Zhou Wang replied without looking up from his phone.
“Then let’s not buy it, let’s go!”
Hearing Zhou Wang make the decision for her, Su Yajing stood up decisively and rallied everyone, “gogogo!”
“He must just not want to spend money…”
Cui Min’er muttered.
Zhou Wang couldn’t understand, but detected the disdain in her tone; he once again looked at Yu Duo beside him.
Yu Duo shook her head quickly, indicating she didn’t hear anything.
Zhou Wang simply smiled gently, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll tell Cui Min’er that you translated everything she said to her fiancé for us.”
Yu Duo’s little face dropped, and she had no choice but to lean closer to his ear while Cui Min’er was distracted:
“Sister Min’er said you just don’t want to spend money, huh…”
The girl’s breath made Zhou Wang feel ticklish, and since Yu Duo was wary of Cui Min’er hearing, she leaned in very close. Zhou Wang occasionally felt her soft lips brushing against him.
Zhou Wang already guessed the gist, just wanted Yu Duo to confirm it.
He squinted a little, looking at Cui Min’er’s elegant back.
Ha, this woman sure is double-standard…
Her fiancé didn’t buy her the bracelet either, yet she didn’t accuse him of being stingy?
Is she trying to force me to play the bad guy again?
“Thanks.”
Zhou Wang turned to look at Yu Duo’s adorably blank expression, unable to resist patting her head, “Might need to bother you to teach me some Korean later.”
“Ugh, don’t touch my head… What Korean?”
Yu Duo covered her head, a bit annoyed, then curiously asked.
“I’ll tell you later. If you teach me now, I’ll probably forget.”
Zhou Wang chuckled, “Okay, you go catch up with them, I’ll make a call.”
…
After the little episode at the Cartier counter, the girls seemed to lose their interest in shopping. After discussing it, they decided to head over to the arcade next door.
Su Yajing, after being persuaded by the front desk, directly got a 1000 Yuan value card, with an extra 100 coins as a bonus.
After entering the arcade, they split into three groups: Cui Min’er dragged Shen Yutong to queue for the dance machine, Su Yajing and Yu Duo went to grab plush toys, while Zhou Wang, not interested in either, wandered off to the arcade section to reminisce about childhood.
Zhou Wang felt bored after a while, having revived three times.
Looking at a whole bucket of game coins beside him, he finally realized the issue.
No wonder as a kid I could never get enough, it’s because I was broke—
Shaking his head, Zhou Wang considered finding Su Yajing, but heard a commotion near the dance machine and glanced over, discovering a crowd had formed there. Several guys were clapping and cheering, and lots of people were recording videos.
Through the gaps, he saw Cui Min’er dancing passionately on a solo mode version of a fifth-generation dance machine.
With every twist of her limbs, her scorching figure in hot shorts and a short top released an enticing vibe; combined with that alluring expression, she seemed like a girl group member stepped out from an MV. No wonder the guys were so excited.
Even if it were an average girl dancing with such flair, the crowd would be thrilled. Let alone someone as stunning as Cui Min’er.
“Aren’t you the one who studies dance? Why aren’t you up there dancing?”
Zhou Wang curiously approached and asked Shen Yutong standing nearby.
“I study classical dance, the moves don’t fit.”
Not expecting Zhou Wang to initiate conversation, Shen Yutong was a bit flustered, “Before university, Min’er was a legit girl group trainee. This kind of dance machine is just child’s play for her!”
“Then why didn’t she enter the entertainment industry?”
Zhou Wang asked, feigning interest, “Is it because of her fiancé?”
“Uh-huh, Min’er’s fiancé’s family is quite prominent locally—having an actress daughter-in-law would be unacceptable; you’ve heard that line of work there is shady… Over in Korea, they really care about reputation in this regard.”
“Is that so?”
Listening to Shen Yutong’s explanation, Zhou Wang started pondering.
Cui Min’er was quite fit; she danced through three songs enthusiastically before finally stepping down, at which point she noticed Zhou Wang standing beside Shen Yutong.
Spotting Zhou Wang’s gaze fixated on her sweat-trickling fair thighs, Cui Min’er smirked but kept a straight face. She took the bottled water Shen Yutong offered and started chatting, ignoring Zhou Wang.
Afterward, Shen Yutong and Cui Min’er joined in the plush toy craziness.
The four girls, with no particular skill but ample coins, managed to coax quite a few plushies out of the claw machines.
By the time everyone’s arms were full, Yu Duo checked the time and joyfully announced, “It’s nearly 6 o’clock! We can head out for dinner now!”
“Is that restaurant really as good as you said?”
Su Yajing giggled, pinching her face, “You seem so eager!”
“It’s super delicious, with amazing ambiance too!”
Yu Duo bragged, “Although this lady is treating, go easy when you’re eating, or you might bite your tongues!”
