Since it was still too early for her date, Huo Xiwen parked his car in the mall"s parking lot near the cafeteria. She got out of the car and went to the mall to choose a birthday present for her mother.
After entering the shopping mall, the first floor was reserved for all the top international jewelry brands.
Because Huo XIwen was dressed casually, no one paid any attention to her after he entered the store.
At the jade counter, she saw an extremely beautiful jade bracelet. The bracelet was displayed at the most conspicuous spot on the counter, and there was no price tag on it.
Raising her hand, she beckoned to the shop a.s.sistant at the side. "h.e.l.lo, may I have a look at this bracelet, please?"
The employee glanced at her, but didn"t take out the bracelet. She only pointed at the bracelet and asked: "Miss, are you talking about this Emperor Jade Bracelet?"
"Yes, show it to me." Huo Xi Wen said.
"Miss, this jade bracelet might not be suitable for you. Why don"t you come over here? The bracelet here might be more suitable for you." The shop a.s.sistant said as she walked to the display cabinet next door.
Hearing this, Huo XIwen frowned, "I just want to see this. Show it to me."
"Miss, I"m sorry, but this Emperor Jade Bracelet has stopped our shop"s signboard from being sold to the public. Furthermore, I"m afraid that its price is not something that you can bear. " The employee looked at Huo XIwen with disdain as he said in an arrogant tone.
"Since it"s not for sale, why is it placed in the counter?" If you didn"t even bid, how would you know that this young lady can"t afford it? " The moment the shop a.s.sistant finished her sentence, a low and gentle voice suddenly drifted into Huo XIwen"s ears. She turned her head to look at the source of the voice, and saw an extremely familiar face appear in front of her eyes.
The moment he saw this face, Huo XIwen felt as if his breathing had stopped. Her heartbeat quickened, as if it was going to jump out from her chest.
How could that be?
Was she dreaming?
True... Was it him?
"Pay …" Her trembling lips slightly parted as she tried to call out his name. At some point, her eyes had been filled with hot tears that rolled down her face.
"Sorry, lady, it was our job that didn"t make it. You want to see this bracelet, I"ll show you right now, but this bracelet is indeed not for sale outside the city, if you really like it, if you want to buy it, I can apply for it from the higher ups and ask if it can be sold. " At this time, a middle-aged woman with a manager"s badge on his chest walked over with an apologetic look on his face.
At this time, the face of the employee standing behind the counter also changed. He was no longer as indifferent as he was before.
However, Huo XIwen couldn"t care less about the bracelet at this moment. She could only stare blankly at the man in front of her, unable to s.h.i.+ft her gaze away.
"Miss, Miss, would you like to see a bracelet?" The manager saw that she didn"t react, so he asked again.
Seeing Fu Muyun here left her with too many doubts and surprises. She didn"t dare to believe her eyes. This kind of scene that only appeared in her dreams, how could it appear in reality?
Seeing that she had been staring blankly at him, the man raised his hand and snapped his fingers in front of her. "Miss, they"re talking to you. Can you move your eyes away from my face now?"
Hearing the other party"s voice, Huo XIwen finally came back to her senses. She blinked, looked at the man in front of her, and said, "You … What did you just call me? Miss? Don"t you know me? "
"Do we know each other?" The man looked at her curiously.
"Mister Fu, Chairman Qin has already arrived at the coffee shop. Let"s go over now." At this moment, a man that looked like an a.s.sistant walked over to her side and spoke to her.
"Alright, let"s go." The man nodded to the a.s.sistant and lifted his foot to leave.
Seeing that, Huo Xichen stretched out his hand and grabbed hold of his hand: "Fu Muyun, is that you? Don"t you know me? I am Xi Wen, Huo Xi Wen. What"s the matter with you? "Why don"t you remember me?"
The other person stopped in her tracks after being pulled by her. However, he did not push her away. Instead, he looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "Miss knows me?"
"Yes, of course I do. "How could I not know you …" Huo XIwen"s tears kept falling and his voice was choked with sobs.
"Director Fu, we can"t make Chairman Qin wait too long, right?" At this moment, the a.s.sistant reminded him.
Hearing this, Fu Muyun looked at Huo XIwen again and said: "I"m sorry, Miss. I have something to take care of right now …"
"It"s alright, I can wait for you. I"ll wait for you to finish taking care of your matters." Huo Xi Wen said anxiously.
The person lowered his head and muttered to himself for two seconds. Then, he took out a name card from his pocket and handed it to her. "My phone number is on here. Call me tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? "But …" Huo XIwen wanted to continue, but the other party had already lifted his leg and left.
Looking at his retreating back, Huo Xiwen felt as if everything that just happened was just a dream.
She saw him, alive.
Had the heavens heard her prayers and sent Fu Muyun back to her side?
But why did he no longer seem to recognize her?
Did he lose his memory?
What exactly had happened to him?
Didn"t the United States announce his death and hold a funeral for him?
At this moment, her mind was filled with questions, but her heart was still filled with joy.
As long as he could survive and appear before her, it was already a gift to her.
However, there was one thing that she felt strange about. Why did Fu Muyun"s voice sound so familiar, yet it was completely different from his voice from before?
"Miss, Miss …" At this moment, the manager of the jewelry store called out to her.
"Hmm?" Huo XIwen turned his head around, and only then did he focus his attention back on them.
"Do you still want to see this bracelet?" the manager asked.
At this time, Huo XIwen had already lost interest in the bracelet, so he waved his hand, "No need, didn"t you just say that it"s not for sale?"
At this moment, she heard the employee standing behind the counter pout his lips and said with a look of disdain, "I can"t afford it at all. What are you pretending for?"
Previously, she didn"t realize that she had been discriminated against by others because of her clothes. Now that she heard the shop a.s.sistant speak in such a manner, her young miss" temper was immediately agitated. She raised her head and looked at the shop a.s.sistant, "What did you say just now? Say what you said again. "
"I... "Nothing." The other side had only been muttering to herself. She didn"t expect the customer to hear it, so she naturally didn"t dare to admit it.
